          at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (rounded up to the next whole number), provided that any person becoming a director of the General Partner subsequent to such date shall be considered an Incumbent Director if
          such person’s election was approved by or such person was nominated for election by a vote of a majority of the Incumbent Directors; provided, however, that any person whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or

          circumstances outside of the Partnership’s or the General Partner’s control (such as general economic conditions, legal/regulatory changes, war or similar events), it may, in its reasonable good faith discretion without any consent or other
          action on the part of the Series Z-1 Partners or any other Partners of the Partnership, revise and amend the Series Z-1 Target FFO amounts and/or formulae set forth in Exhibit S (and any definitions involved therein) to reflect one or more

          Capital Contribution, in an amount equal to the Current Per Share Market Price (as of the Trading Date immediately preceding the date on which the exercise price or the purchase price (as the case may be) is contributed to the capital of the
          Partnership) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock delivered by the General Partner to such exercising party or purchaser; and.

      

      

      (d) the Percentage Interests of the Partners shall be adjusted to
          reflect the issuance of such Additional Units.

      

      

      4.5 Contribution

              of Proceeds of Issuance of Shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. In connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, the General Partner shall make a Capital
          Contribution to the Partnership of the proceeds raised in connection with such issuance, provided that if the proceeds actually received by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s
          discount, commission or fee or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of such issuance
          and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have reimbursed the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof for the amount of such underwriter’s discount, commission or fee or other expenses. A redemption of a Partnership Unit,
          whether by the Partnership or the General Partner, shall not constitute an issuance of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.5.

      4.6 Admission

              of Additional Limited Partners.

      

      

      (a) After the date hereof, a Person issued Partnership Units in
          accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) a written agreement in form satisfactory to the General Partner accepting all of the terms and
          conditions of this Agreement and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner.

      

      

      (b) No Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner
          without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion for any or no reason. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on
          the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission.

      

      

      (c) If an Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership
          on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Fiscal Year shall be
          allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using any permissible method selected by the
          General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all Partners and Assignees including such
          Additional Limited Partner.

      

      

      (d) The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of
          the Partners to amend this Agreement to reflect the admission of any Additional Limited Partner or any increase in the Percentage Interests of any Partner and the corresponding reduction of the Percentage Interests of the other Partners in
          accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

      

      

      (e) [Intentionally Omitted]

      

      

      (f) Effective immediately prior to the initial issuance of the
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units and the admission of the initial Series Z-1 Partners as Additional Limited Partners, the capital accounts of the Partnership were adjusted to reflect each Partner’s share of the net fair market value of the
          Partnership’s assets (a “book-up”) by adjusting the Gross Asset Values of all Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market values and allocating the amount of such adjustment as Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss pursuant to
          Exhibit E hereof. Each person who is issued a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit shall (a) make a Capital Commitment to the Partnership in the amount of $1.00 per Unit and (b) be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner in accordance with Sections 4.3
          and 4.6 of this Agreement, holding that number of Series Z-1 Incentive Units as is set forth next to his or her name on Exhibit R. It is the intention of the Partnership that only directors, officers or other employees of the General Partner
          shall be issued Series Z-1 Incentive Units and only such persons may become Series Z-1 Partners. At the Partnership’s election, taking into account the provisions of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Partnership may allow a
          Series Z-1 Partner to have a positive Series Z-1 Clawback Amount; provided, however, that prior to a Series Z-1 Partner becoming a director or executive officer of the General Partner, within the meaning of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
          of 2002, as amended, such Series Z-1 Partner shall pay to the Partnership the aggregate Capital Commitment for the Series Z-1 Incentive Units that have been issued to such Series Z-1 Partner. If the Partnership does not elect to allow a Series
          Z-1 Partner to have such a positive Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, then upon the issuance of any Series Z-1 Incentive Units to such Series Z-1 Partner, the Capital Commitment calculated on a unit-by-unit basis for such Series Z-1 Incentive Units
          shall be immediately due and payable to the Partnership. Each person who is issued a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit shall become a party to this Agreement as a Limited Partner and shall be bound by all the terms, conditions and other provisions of
          this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 4.6(b) of this Agreement, the General Partner hereby consents to the admission of each Person who is issued a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit as an Additional Limited Partner of the Partnership. The admission of a
          Series Z-1 Partner shall become effective as of the date such Series Z-1 Partner has executed a counterpart signature page to the relevant amendment to the First Amended and Restated Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Agreement or the
          Third Amended and Restated Agreement (and such other written agreements as the General Partner may require), which shall also be the date on which the name of a Series Z-1 Partner is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership. The
          admission of a Series Z-1 Partner shall not require the consent or approval of any other Limited Partner.

      4.7 No

              Third Party Beneficiary. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or to pursue any other right or
          remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the Partners and their respective successors and assigns. None of the
          rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold,
          transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners.

      

      

      4.8 No

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

      ARTICLE VI

      ALLOCATIONS AND OTHER TAX AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS

      

      

      6.1 Allocations.
          Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and/or other Partnership items shall be allocated pursuant to the provisions of attached Exhibit E.

      

      

      6.2 Distributions.
          The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute all or a portion of Available Cash to the Partners from time to time as determined by the General Partner, but in any event not less frequently than quarterly in such amounts as the
          General Partner shall determine; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner to pay shareholder
          dividends that will (1) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of the General Partner; and provided further, that all such
          distributions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2.

      

      

      (a) Distributions shall be made in accordance with the following
          order of priority:

      

      

      (i) First, on a pro rata basis, (based upon the same ratio that
          accrued distributions per share of Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such stock does not have cumulative
          distribution rights) bear to each other) to the General Partner, on account of the Series G Preferred Interest and Series H Preferred Interest until the total amount of distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.2(a)(i) equals the total amount
          of accrued but unpaid distributions (if any) payable with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock as of the date of such distribution.

      

      

      (ii) Next, to the Partners, pro rata in accordance with the
          Partners’ then Percentage Interests.

      

      

      Neither the Partnership nor the Limited Partners shall have any obligation to see that any funds distributed to the General Partner pursuant to subparagraph
          (a)(i) of this Section 6.2 are in turn used by the General Partner to pay dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock or the Series H Preferred Stock (or any other Preferred Stock) or that funds distributed to the General Partner pursuant to
          subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Section 6.2 are in turn used by the General Partner to pay dividends on the Common Stock or for any other purpose.

      

      

      (b) Upon the receipt by the General Partner of each Exercise Notice
          pursuant to which one or more Limited Partners exercise Rights in accordance with the provisions of Article XI hereof, the General Partner shall, unless the General Partner is required or elects only to issue Common Stock to such exercising
          Limited Partners, cause the Partnership to distribute to the Partners all or a portion of Available Cash, which distribution shall be made prior to the closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Units specified in such Exercise Notice, and
          which distribution shall be made in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to delay the actual distribution of Available Cash to the
          Partners required by this Section 6.2(b) until the next scheduled distribution of Available Cash.

      

      

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may, in its
          sole discretion, at any time when any Preferred Stock (including any Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock or any other Preferred Stock) is outstanding, make a special distribution to itself, alone, on account of the Preferred
          Interest relating to such Preferred Stock, for the sole purpose of, and in an amount no greater than such amount as will be used by the General Partner for, redemption of all or any part of such outstanding Preferred Stock (any such distribution
          shall be referred to as a “Redemption Distribution”). There shall be no adjustments of the Percentage Interests of the Partners on account of any Redemption Distribution.

       

        

      
        20

        
          

      

      (d) [Intentionally Omitted]

      

      

      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that the Series Z-1
          Clawback Amount with respect to a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit is greater than zero, then, to the extent of such Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, the distributions otherwise provided for by this Section with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit
          shall not be paid in cash and shall instead be deemed to offset the applicable Series Z-1 Partners’ unpaid Capital Commitment and thereby reduce the then existing Series Z-1 Clawback Amount with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit in an
          amount equal to the distributions that would have otherwise been paid with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit.

      

      

      (f) Distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be
          adjusted as necessary to ensure that the amount apportioned to each LTIP Unit does not exceed the amount attributable to items of Partnership income or gain realized after the date such LTIP Unit was issued by the Partnership. The intent of this
          Section 6.2(f) is to ensure that any LTIP Units qualify as “profits interests” under Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 (June 9, 1993) and Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191 (August 3, 2001), and Section 6.2 shall be interpreted and
          applied consistently therewith. The General Partner at its discretion may amend this Section 6.2(f) to ensure that any LTIP Units will qualify as “profits interests” under Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 (June 9, 1993) and Revenue
          Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191 (August 3, 2001) (and any other similar rulings or regulations that may be in effect at such time).

      

      

      (g) [Intentionally Omitted]

      

      

      (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a
          holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units may convert all or a portion of his or her Vested Series Z-1 Incentive Units into Common Units, only to the extent of the balance in such holder’s Capital Account that is attributable to such Units, after
          giving effect to any adjustments to or “book ups” of such Capital Account pursuant to subsection 2(c) of Exhibit E of this Agreement.

      

      

      6.3 Withholding.
          The General Partner may withhold taxes from any allocation or distribution to any Partner to the extent required by the Code or any other applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld by the Partnership shall be deemed to
          be a distribution or payment to such Partner, reduce the amount otherwise distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and reduce the Capital Account of such Partner.

      

      

      6.4 Books

              of Account. At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained full, true, complete and correct books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles wherein shall be entered particulars of all monies, goods or effects belonging to or owing to or by the Partnership, or paid, received, sold or purchased in the course of the Partnership’s business, and all of such other transactions,
          matters and things relating to the business of the Partnership as are usually entered in books of account kept by persons engaged in a business of a like kind and character. In addition, the Partnership shall keep all records as required to be
          kept pursuant to the Act. The books and records of account shall be kept at the principal office of the Partnership, and each Partner shall at all reasonable times have access to such books and records and the right to inspect the same.

      

      

      6.5 Reports.
          No later than the date on which the General Partner mails its annual report to its stockholders, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner, as of the close of the Fiscal Year, an annual report containing financial
          statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, for such Fiscal Year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such
          statements to be audited by the Accountants. The General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner such other information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall have satisfied its obligations under this Section by (i) to the extent the General Partner or the Partnership is subject to periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, filing
          the quarterly and annual reports required thereunder within the time periods provided for the filing of such reports, including any permitted extensions, or (ii) posting or making available the reports required by this Section on the website
          maintained from time to time by the Partnership or the General Partner, provided that such reports are able to be printed or downloaded from such website.

      

      

      6.6 Audits.

      6.7 Tax

              Elections and Returns. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any applicable
          tax law shall be made by the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided, however, the General Partner shall, if requested by a transferee, file an election on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis
          of the Partnership property in the case of a transfer of a Partnership Interest, including transfers made in connection with the exercise of Rights, made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 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 reasonable efforts to furnish for each Fiscal
          Year, at least 45 days prior to the deadline (after giving effect to all applicable extensions) for filing federal income tax returns for the Partnership for such fiscal year, the tax information reasonably required by the Limited Partners for
          federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

      

      

      6.8 Tax

              Matters Partner; Partnership Representative.

      

      

      (a)          For taxable years of the Partnership beginning before January 1, 2018, the General Partner has been designated to be the tax matters partner (the “Tax Matters Partner”) within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code for
          the Partnership; provided, however, (i) in exercising its authority as Tax Matters Partner it shall be limited by the provisions of this Agreement affecting tax aspects of the Partnership; (ii) the General Partner shall consult in good faith with
          the Limited Partners regarding the filing of a Code Section 6227(a) administrative adjustment request with respect to the Partnership or a Property before filing such request, it being understood, however, that the provisions hereof shall not be
          construed to limit the ability of any Partner, including the General Partner, to file an administrative adjustment request on its own behalf pursuant to Section 6227(a) of the Code; (iii) the General Partner shall consult in good faith with the
          Limited Partners regarding the filing of a petition for judicial review of an administrative adjustment request under Section 6228 of the Code, or a petition for judicial review of a final partnership administrative judgment under Section 6226 of
          the Code relating to the Partnership before filing such petition; (iv) the General Partner shall give prompt notice to the Limited Partners of the receipt of any written notice that the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing
          authority intends to examine Partnership income tax returns for any year, receipt of written notice of the beginning of an administrative proceeding at the Partnership level relating to the Partnership under Section 6223 of the Code, receipt of
          written notice of the final Partnership administrative adjustment relating to the Partnership pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code, and receipt of any request from the Internal Revenue Service for waiver of any applicable statute of limitations
          with respect to the filing of any tax return by the Partnership; and (v) the General Partner shall promptly notify the Limited Partners if the General Partner does not intend to file for judicial review with respect to the Partnership. All references to Code Sections in this Section 6.8(a) are to such Code Sections as in effect prior to the repeal or amendment of such Sections by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (P.L.
            114-74) (the “Bipartisan Budget Act”).

      

      

      (b)          For each taxable year of the Partnership beginning on
          or after January 1, 2018, the General Partner shall designate itself or another Person to be the partnership representative of the Partnership (the “Partnership Representative”) within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code in accordance with
          Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. If the Person designated by the General Partner to serve as the Partnership Representative is not an individual, the General Partner shall also appoint an
          individual (the “Designated Individual”) through whom the Partnership Representative acts in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. The General Partner shall also designate a new
          Partnership Representative if the Partnership Representative resigns or is deemed ineligible or appoint a new Designated Individual if the Designated Individual resigns or is deemed ineligible. The General Partner is authorized to revoke and
          replace from time to time the Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. The General Partner shall make all designations
          and appointments under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code and Regulations for the
          Partnership Representative. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Partnership Representative in connection with any applicable proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute
          discretion of the Partnership Representative, and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.10 hereof shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual, if
          any, acting as such.

       

        

      
        22

        
          

      

      (c)          Each Partner agrees that such Partner shall not treat
          any Partnership-related item inconsistently on such Partner’s federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax return with the treatment of the item on the Partnership’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Partner with respect to such Partner’s
          interest in the Partnership (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code) will be paid by such Partner. If the Partnership is required to
          pay (and actually pays) an imputed underpayment (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes, pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code) with respect to a reviewed year, or bears the economic burden of imputed
          underpayments made by entities in which it is a partner, such amounts paid will be recoverable from the reviewed-year Partners. To the extent that the Partnership or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, does not make an election under
          Sections 6221(b) (if available) or 6226 of the Code, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make any modifications available under Section 6225(c) of the Code, and (ii) if requested by a Partner, provide to such Partner
          information allowing such Partner to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent such amended return and payment of any related federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by
          Partnership. Each Limited Partner shall, including any time after such Limited Partner withdraws from or otherwise ceases to be a Limited Partner, take all actions requested by the General Partner, including timely provision of requested
          information and consents in connection with implementing any elections or decisions made by the Partnership or the Partnership Representative (or Person acting in a similar capacity under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws)
          related to any tax audit or examination of the Partnership (including to implement any modifications to any imputed underpayment or similar amount under Section 6225(c) of the Code, any elections under Sections 6221 or 6226 of the Code and any
          administrative adjustment request under Section 6227 of the Code).

      

      

      (d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
          Agreement, any information, representations, certificates, forms, or documentation provided pursuant to this Section 6.8 may be disclosed to any applicable taxing authority. Each Partner agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.8 at
          all times, including any time after such Partner ceases to be a Partner solely with respect to matters directly related to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, and the provisions of Section 6.8 shall survive the winding up, liquidation and
          dissolution of the Partnership. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to Code Sections in Sections 6.8(b) and 6.8(c) are to such Code Sections as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act (and any applicable subsequent amendments thereto).

          limited partners, recognizing that the Limited Partners shall have only the right and authority to participate in the affairs of the Partnership to the extent specifically set forth in this Agreement.

      

      

      Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third
          parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the
          General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties on behalf of the Partnership or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership. Each of the Limited Partners
          agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other
          provisions of this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3), the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation. The execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under
          this Agreement shall not in itself 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.

      

      

      7.3 Major

              Decisions. The General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners, on behalf of the Partnership, undertake any of the following actions (the “Major Decisions”):

      

      

      (a) Terminate this Agreement or, except as expressly provided
          otherwise herein, amend or modify this Agreement.

      

      

      (b) Make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or
          appoint or acquiesce in the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or any part of the assets of the Partnership.

      

      

      (c) Take title to any personal or real property, other than in the
          name of the Partnership or pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof.

      

      

      (d) Institute any proceeding for Bankruptcy on behalf of the
          Partnership.

      

      

      (e) Dissolve the Partnership, except as otherwise set forth in this
          Partnership Agreement.

       

        

      
        25

        
          

      

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the action described in Section 7.3(a) shall not be a Major Decision if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five
          percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time that such action is undertaken and the actions described in Sections 7.3(b), (d) and (e) shall not be Major Decisions if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the
          Partnership Units at the time that such action is undertaken.

      

      

      7.4 Actions

              with Respect to Certain Documents. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof to the contrary, whenever the consent, agreement, authorization or approval of the Partnership is required under any agreement to which the
          Limited Partners and/or their Controlled Entities are parties in interest other than in their capacities as Limited Partners of the Partnership, the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be required.

      

      

      7.5 General

              Partner Participation. The General Partner agrees that all business activities of the General Partner, including activities pertaining to the acquisition, development and ownership of Properties, shall be conducted through the
          Partnership (except that the General Partner shall be permitted to possess an ownership interest in EWIP or some other Entity (collectively, the “Investment Entities”) so long as the Partnership’s interest in any property, partnership, limited
          liability company or other Entity in which the Investment Entity has an ownership interest is at least 99 times the Investment Entity’s interest). Without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly,
          participate in or otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal property unless the Partnership participates in, or otherwise acquires an interest in, such real or personal property at least to the extent of 99 times such proposed
          participation by the Investment Entity, provided that the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be required if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time that the General Partner
          undertakes such action. The General Partner agrees that all borrowings for the purpose of making distributions to its stockholders will be incurred by the Partnership and the proceeds of such indebtedness will be included as Net Financing
          Proceeds hereunder (provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the General Partner from guaranteeing or co-signing an obligation of any of the foregoing Entities).

      

      

      7.6 Proscriptions.
          The General Partner shall not have the authority to:

      

      

      (a) Do any act in contravention of this Agreement or which would
          make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership;

      

      

      (b) Possess any Partnership property or assign rights in specific
          Partnership property for other than Partnership purposes; or

      

      

      (c) Do any act in contravention of applicable law.

      

      

      Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on any Person or firm doing business with the Partnership to inquire as to whether or not the General
          Partner has properly exercised its authority in executing any contract, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument on behalf of the Partnership, and any such third Person shall be fully protected in relying upon such authority.

      

      

      7.7 Additional

              Limited Partners. Additional Limited Partners may be admitted to the Partnership only as provided in this Agreement.

      

      

      7.8 Title

              Holder. To the extent allowable under applicable law, title to all or any part of the properties of the Partnership may be held in the name of the Partnership or any other Person, the beneficial interest in which shall at all times
          be vested in the Partnership. Any such title holder shall perform any and all of its respective functions to the extent and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the General Partner, consistent with the business
          purpose of the Partnership.

      

      

      7.9 Compensation

              of the General Partner. The General Partner shall not be entitled to any compensation for services rendered to the Partnership solely in its capacity as General Partner, except with respect to reimbursement for those costs and
          expenses constituting Administrative Expenses.

       

        

      
        26

        
          

      

      7.10 Waiver

              and Indemnification.

      

      

      (a) Neither the General Partner nor any Person acting on its
          behalf, pursuant hereto, shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or to any Partner for any acts or omissions performed or omitted to be performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred
          upon the General Partner by this Agreement and the Act, provided that the General Partner’s or such other Person’s conduct or omission to act was taken in good faith and in the belief that such conduct or omission was in the best interests of the
          Partnership and, provided further, that the General Partner or such other Person shall not be guilty of fraud, misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence. The Partnership shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner and
          its Affiliates and any individual or Entity acting on their behalf from any loss, damage, claim or liability, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by them by reason of any acts or omissions performed or
          omitted to be performed by them in connection with the business and affairs of the Partnership as described herein, subject to the standards set forth above; provided, however, no Partner shall have any personal liability with respect to the
          foregoing indemnification, any such indemnification to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership.

      

      

      (b) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
          shall be entitled to receive, upon application therefor, the costs reasonably incurred defending any proceeding against such Person; provided, however, that such advances shall be repaid to the Partnership, without interest, if such Person is
          found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment not to be entitled to such indemnification. All rights of the indemnitee hereunder shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership; provided, however, that a claim for
          indemnification under this Agreement must be made by or on behalf of the Person seeking indemnification prior to the time the Partnership is liquidated hereunder. The indemnification rights contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative of, and
          in addition to, any and all rights, remedies and recourse to which the person seeking indemnification shall be entitled, whether at law or in equity. Indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be made solely and entirely from the assets of
          the Partnership, and no Partner shall be liable therefor.

      

      

      7.11 Contracts

              With Controlled Entities. The General Partner may contract with any Controlled Entities for the provision of property management, asset management, brokerage or similar services or any other services customarily rendered by the
          Controlled Entities; provided that all such contracts or agreements shall be for compensation and on terms and conditions substantially similar to other such contracts or agreements available from similarly qualified third parties.

      

      

      7.12 Operation

              in Accordance with REIT Requirements. The General Partner is a REIT and is subject to the provisions of Section 856 through and including 860 of the Code. The Partners have agreed that it is their intent that the Partnership be
          operated in a manner that will enable the General Partner to (a) satisfy the REIT Requirements and (b) avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause the Partnership to
          avoid taking any action that would result in the General Partner ceasing to satisfy the REIT Requirements or would result in the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the General Partner. Notwithstanding any other provisions
          of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or
          omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT, or (ii) to prevent the General Partner from incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is
          expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

      

      

      ARTICLE VIII

      DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND WINDING-UP

      

      

      8.1 Liquidating

              Events. 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) The dissolution, termination, retirement or Bankruptcy of the
          General Partner unless the Partnership is continued as provided in Section 9.1 hereof;

      

      

      (b) The election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the
          General Partner with the Consent of the Limited Partners, provided that the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be required if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time of such
          election;

      

      

      (c) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the
          assets of the Partnership unless the General Partner, with the Consent of the Limited Partners, elects to continue the Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and the collection of indebtedness or the collection of any other
          consideration to be received in exchange for the assets of the Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be part of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership), provided that the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be required
          if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time of such sale or disposition;

      

      

      (d) Dissolution required by operation of law; or

      

      

      (e) The expiration of its term as provided in Section 3.2.

       

        

      
        27

        
          

      

      8.2 Accounting.
          In the event of a Liquidating Event, a proper accounting (which shall be certified) shall be made of the Capital Account of each Partner and of the Net Profits or Net Losses of the Partnership from the date of the last previous accounting to the
          date of dissolution. Financial statements presenting such accounting shall include a report of a certified public accountant selected by the Liquidating Trustee.

      

      

      8.3 Distribution

              on Dissolution. In the event of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated for distribution in the following rank and order:

      

      

      (a) First, to the payment and discharge or all of the Partnership’s
          debt and liabilities to creditors of the Partnership (other than Partners) in the order of priority as provided by law;

      

      

      (b) Second, to the establishment of reserves as provided by the
          General Partner to provide for contingent liabilities, if any;

      

      

      (c) Third, to the payment of debts of the Partnership to Partners,
          if any, in the order of priority provided by law;

      

      

      (d) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with the
          positive balances in their Capital Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods, including the period in which such distribution occurs (other than those adjustments made pursuant to this
          Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.4 hereof).

      

      

      Whenever the Liquidating Trustee reasonably determines that any reserves established pursuant to paragraph (b) above are in excess of the
          reasonable requirements of the Partnership, the amount determined to be excess shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the above provisions.

      

      

      8.4 Timing

              Requirements. In the event that the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations and a Liquidating Event has occurred, any and all distributions to the Partners pursuant to
          Section 8.3(d) hereof shall be made no later than the later to occur of (i) the last day of the taxable year of the Partnership in which such liquidation occurs or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation. If the Partnership is
          liquidated within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations and no Liquidating Event has occurred and is continuing, the Partnership property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s debts and liabilities shall not be paid
          or discharged (except to the extent due and payable in the ordinary course) and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed the Partnership
          property in-kind to a “new partnership,” which shall be deemed to have taken the Partnership property subject to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership. Immediately thereafter, the Partnership shall be deemed to have been liquidated,
          distributing new partnership interests to the Partners, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. The new partnership shall operate in accordance with this Agreement.

      

      

      8.5 Sale

              of Partnership Assets. In the event of the liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Liquidating Trustee may, with the Consent of the Limited Partners, sell Partnership property if the
          Liquidating Trustee has in good faith solicited bids from unrelated third parties and obtained independent appraisals before making any such sale; provided, however, all sales, leases, encumbrances or transfers of Partnership assets shall be made
          by the Liquidating Trustee with the prior Consent of the Limited Partners and solely on an “arm’s-length” basis, at the best price and on the best terms and conditions as the General Partner in good faith believes are reasonably available at the
          time and under the circumstances and on a non-recourse basis to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be required under the preceding sentence if the Limited Partners collectively own
          less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time that the Liquidating Trustee undertakes such action. The liquidation of the Partnership shall not be deemed finally completed until the Partnership shall have received cash payments
          in full with respect to obligations such as notes, installment sale contracts or other similar receivables received by the Partnership in connection with the sale of Partnership assets and all obligations of the Partnership have been satisfied or
          assumed by the General Partner. The Liquidating Trustee shall continue to act to enforce all of the rights of the Partnership pursuant to any such obligations until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidating Trustee shall not
          distribute to the holders of Series G Preferred Interest and Series H Preferred Interest assets other than cash.

       

        

      
        28

        
          

      

      8.6 Distributions

              in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership
          the Liquidating Trustee 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 Liquidating Trustee 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 8.3 hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidating Trustee deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good-faith judgment of the
          Liquidating Trustee, 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 Liquidating Trustee deems reasonable and
          equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidating Trustee shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

      

      

      8.7 Documentation

              of Liquidation. Upon the completion of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate and the Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to execute and record any and all documents or
          instruments required to effect the dissolution, liquidation and termination of the Partnership.

      

      

      8.8 Liability

              of the Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages and causes of action of any nature whatsoever
          arising out of or incidental to the Liquidating Trustee’s taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Liquidating Trustee shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held
          harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arose out of:

      

      

      (a) A matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidating Trustee’s action
          or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; or

      

      

      (b) The proven misconduct or gross negligence of the Liquidating
          Trustee.

      

      

      ARTICLE IX

      TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

      

      

      9.1 General

              Partner Transfer. The General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership without the Consent of the Limited Partners, provided that the Consent of
          the Limited Partners shall not be required if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time of such Transfer. Upon any Transfer of all of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest in
          accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1, the transferee General Partner shall become 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 or other Entity by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, provided that the Consent of the Limited Partners shall not be
          required if the Limited Partners collectively own less than five percent (5%) of the Partnership Units at the time of such Transfer. In the event the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or
          dissolves, terminates or upon the Bankruptcy of the General Partner, a Majority-In-Interest of the Limited Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a substitute general partner.

      

      

      9.2 Transfers

              by Limited Partners.

      

      

      (a) Each Limited Partner shall, subject to the provisions of
          Section 9.2(b) and Section 9.3 hereof, have the right to Transfer (or convert to Common Stock and thereafter sell such Common Stock) to any Person all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, whether or not in connection with the exercise of
          such Limited Partner’s Rights. In addition, the Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall not be Transferred, other than (i) by operation of law to the estate of a Series Z-1 Partner, (ii) by assignment to a
          trust of which the Series Z-1 Partner is sole trustee or co-trustee with that Partner’s spouse and which trust is for the benefit of the Series Z-1 Partner and/or such Partner’s spouse, children, and other descendants, or residual heirs if any of
          the foregoing are deceased, or (iii) to the Partnership or the General Partner, subject in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) to the applicable provisions of Section 9.2(b) and Section 9.3. With respect to transfers pursuant to the foregoing
          clauses (i) and (ii), if the transferee shall qualify as a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(b), then such transferee shall be deemed to be a Series Z-1 Partner.

       

        

      
        29

        
          

      

      (b) (i) It is a condition to any Transfer (other than pursuant to
          Section 9.2(b)(ii) below) permitted under this Section 9.2 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 or other Entity by operation of law)
          shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon such Transfer, the transferee shall be deemed to be an Assignee with respect to
          such Partnership Interest, but shall not become or be admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute
          discretion for any or no reason. An Assignee shall be entitled as a result of such Transfer only to receive the economic benefits of the Partnership Interest to which the transferor Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled, along with such
          transferor Limited Partner’s rights with respect to the Rights (although any transferee of any transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in the corporate charter of the General Partner as the
          same may be amended from time to time which may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise the Rights), and such Assignee shall have no right (a) to participate in the management of the Partnership or to vote on any matter requiring
          the consent or approval of the Limited Partners, (b) to demand or receive any account of the Partnership’s business, or (c) to inspect the Partnership’s books and records, unless and until such Assignee is admitted to the Partnership as a
          Substituted Limited Partner. A transferee of a Partnership Interest may become a Substituted Limited Partner only upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) filing with the Partnership of a duly executed and acknowledged written
          instrument of assignment in a form approved by the General Partner specifying the Partnership Interest being assigned and setting forth the intention of the transferor Limited Partner that such transferee succeeds to the assignor’s interest as a
          Limited Partner; (B) execution and acknowledgment by the transferor Limited Partner and such transferee of any other instruments required in the discretion of the General Partner, including the acceptance and adoption by such transferee of the
          provisions of this Agreement; (C) obtaining the written consent of the General Partner as provided above; and (D) payment of a transfer fee to the Partnership, sufficient to cover the reasonable expenses of the substitution, if any. Any
          transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner hereunder.

      

      

      (ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this
          Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 4.6 hereof), each Limited Partner shall have the right, without the consent of the General Partner, to pledge or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its Partnership Units,
          subject to any applicable securities laws, to any recognized financial institution with assets in excess of $100,000,000. Any such financial institution (or any other purchaser at a foreclosure sale) shall upon foreclosure of any such pledged or
          encumbered Partnership Units be (A) recognized as an Assignee under this Agreement, (B) deemed to be a Substituted Limited Partner under this Agreement, and (C) deemed to be and have all of the rights, if any, of the pledging Limited Partner for
          all purposes of any registration rights agreement relating to the pledged or encumbered Partnership Units. The General Partner shall execute such documents in connection with any such pledges as such financial institution may reasonably require
          acknowledging the rights of such financial institution hereunder and the obligations of the Partnership and the General Partner hereunder.

      

      

      9.3 Certain

              Transfers Prohibited.

      

      

      (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
          Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest (including any Transfer of an interest in Partnership gains, losses or distributions) shall be permitted if such Transfer would result in (i) such interests 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; or (ii) the Partnership being unable to qualify for at least one of the “safe harbors” set forth in Treasury
          Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) (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”).

       

        

      
        30

        
          

      

      (b) By means of example, the Safe Harbors described in the
          foregoing include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) “private transfers” including transfers which constitute “block transfers” consisting of a Transfer by a partner and any related persons (within the meaning of Section 267(b) or
          Section 707(b)(1) of the Code) in one or more transactions during any thirty (30) calendar-day period of Partnership Interests representing in the aggregate more than two percent (2%) of the total interests in the Partnership’s capital or profits
          (determined without regard to Partnership Interests held by the General Partner and any other person related to the General Partner within the meaning of Section 267(b) or Section 707(b)(1) of the Code); (ii) any Transfer that, when aggregated
          with all other Transfers of Partnership Interests (other than Transfers described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e), (f) or (g), inclusive of, but not limited to, those Transfers described by items (i) and (iii) of this Section 9.3(b))
          within the same taxable year of the Partnership, would constitute a transfer of a percentage of the total interests in the Partnership’s capital or profits (determined without regard to Partnership Interests held by the General Partner and any
          other person related to the General Partner within the meaning of Section 267(b) or Section 707(b)(1) of the Code) of two percent (2%) or less; (iii) certain Transfers made pursuant to a redemption or repurchase agreement, where (A) such
          redemption or repurchase is made pursuant to a redemption or repurchase agreement that requires that the redemption or repurchase does not occur until at least sixty (60) calendar days after a partner notifies the Partnership in writing of the
          partner’s intention to exercise the redemption or repurchase right; (B) either (i) such redemption or repurchase is made pursuant to a redemption or repurchase agreement that requires that the redemption or repurchase price not be established
          until at least sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of such notification by the partnership or the partner; or (ii) the redemption or repurchase price is established not more than four times during the partnership’s taxable year; and (C) the
          sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits (determined without regard to Partnership Interests held by the General Partner and any other person related to the General Partner within the meaning of Section 267(b) or Section
          707(b)(1) of the Code) transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total interests in Partnership capital or profits (determined without regard to Partnership Interests held by the General
          Partner and any other person related to the General Partner within the meaning of Section 267(b) or Section 707(b)(1) of the Code); and (iv) the “Private Placement Safe Harbor,” which requires (A) the Partnership to have not more than 100
          partners at any time during its taxable year and (B) all Partnership Interests to have been issued in a transaction (or transactions) that was not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

      

      

      (c) The General Partner is authorized to take all steps reasonably
          necessary or appropriate to prevent any trading of interests or any recognition by the Partnership of Transfers made on such markets and, except as otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors is met; provided,
          however, that the foregoing shall not authorize the General Partner to limit or restrict in any manner the right of any holder of a Partnership Interest to exercise its rights in accordance with the terms of Article XI (other than a Partnership
          Unit (excluding Common Units issued upon conversion of Partnership Units outstanding on December 10, 2013) initially issued on or after December 10, 2013) and Exhibit I unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel provides to the
          General Partner an opinion to the effect that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation.

      

      

      The General Partner may establish such policies and procedures as it may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion to administer
          the limitations set forth above. Solely for purposes of this Section, the term “Transfer” shall not include (except as provided in the following clause) the mere pledge, hypothecation or grant of a security interest in a Partnership Interest, but
          shall include any transfer of a Partnership Interest within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(a)(3) (other than transfers that have not been recognized by the Partnership).

      

      

      (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership will rely on the
          Private Placement Safe Harbor described in Section 9.3(b)(iv) and set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) until the Partnership can no longer avail itself of the Private Placement Safe Harbor as currently in force or as amended by
          the IRS. The Partnership will not rely on any of the other Safe Harbors until and unless it can no longer rely on the Private Placement Safe Harbor. If and when the Private Placement Safe Harbor becomes inapplicable, the Partnership intends to
          rely on the other Safe Harbors, including but not limited to those Safe Harbors provided in Section 9.3(b)(i) through (iii), in order to avoid being treated as a “publicly traded partnership,” and no Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Partnership
          Interest shall be permitted if such Transfer does not qualify for one of these Safe Harbors.

      

      

      (e) The restrictions set forth in this Section 9.3 shall continue
          in effect until such time as the Partnership is no longer potentially subject to classification as a publicly traded partnership, as defined in Section 7704 of the Code, or in the absence of applicable regulations, as determined by the General
          Partner in its discretion. The restrictions set forth in this Section 9.3, together with the Additional Restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 9.4, are intended to limit transfers of interests in the Partnership in such a manner as to
          permit the Partnership to qualify for the Safe Harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership set forth in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1. The General Partner may modify the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.3, and the
          provisions of Section 9.4, from time to time in its discretion to ensure that the Partnership complies and continues to comply with such requirements.

       

        

      
        31

        
          

      

      9.4 Additional

              Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner be made and in no event shall Additional Units be issued (i) to any
          Person that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of any provision of any mortgage or trust deed (or the note or bond secured thereby) constituting a Lien against a Property or any part thereof,
          or other instrument, document or agreement to which the Partnership, EWIP or any other Investment Entity, the Property Manager, the Pathways Common Tenancy, or any Washington Partnership is a party or otherwise bound; (iii) in violation of
          applicable law, including, without limitation, any applicable state securities “Blue Sky” law (including investment suitability standards); (iv) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to
          Available Cash, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (v) in the event such transfer would cause the General Partner to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements or result in a violation of Section 7.12 hereof;
          (vi) if such transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes; (vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for
          Federal income tax purposes; (viii) if such transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 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); (ix) 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 2510.3-101; (x) if such transfer may not be effected without registration of such Partnership Interest under the Securities Act; (xi) if such transfer would violate any provision of the General Partner’s
          Articles of Incorporation, as such may be amended from time to time; or (xii) to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.7542-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan
          constitutes a “nonrecourse liability” (within the meaning of Section 1.752-1(a)(2) of the Regulations) without the consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, unless the Partnership’s basis for tax purposes would not be
          reduced as a result of such Transfer.

      

      

      ARTICLE X

      RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

      

      

      10.1 No

              Participation in Management. Except as expressly permitted hereunder, the Limited Partners shall not take part in the management 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 and shall have no rights, powers or authority, except as specifically provided herein.

      

      

      10.2 Bankruptcy

              of a Limited Partner and Certain Other Events. The Bankruptcy, death (subject to Section 10.8 below), incompetency, legal incapacity, withdrawal or retirement of any Limited Partner shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership,
          but the rights of such Limited Partner to share in the Net Profits or Losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, on the happening of such event, devolve on its successors or assigns, subject to the terms
          and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. However, in no event shall such assignee(s) become a Substituted Limited Partner, except in accordance with Article IX hereof.

      

      

      10.3 No

              Withdrawal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in Section 10.2 above, no Limited Partner may withdraw or retire from the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, other than as expressly
          provided in this Agreement.

      

      

      10.4 Duties

              and Conflicts. The General Partner recognizes that the Limited Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business
          of the Partnership, and that such persons are entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments. The Limited Partners and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any
          kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership, without any
          obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived
          therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

      

      

      10.5 [Intentionally

              Omitted].

      

      

      10.6 [Intentionally

              Omitted].

      

      

      10.7 [Intentionally

              Omitted].

       

        

      
        32

        
          

      

      10.8 Conversion

              Upon Death. So long as Code Section 1014 or a successor provision remains in effect and provides for the “step-up” in basis of an asset upon death, as determined by the Partnership’s counsel, upon the death of a Limited Partner,
          all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units shall, without the taking of any action by the General Partner or any heir, representative, administrator or executor of or for such Limited Partner, automatically convert as of the date of such
          death into shares of Common Stock in the amount of the Common Stock Amount; provided that the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the option, instead of issuing the Common Stock Amount to the estate of the decedent
          Limited Partner, of paying to such estate the Cash Amount or any combination of cash and Common Stock equal to the Cash Amount; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Series
          Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units held by such Limited Partner. In determining the Cash Amount, the Closing Price shall be calculated as of the date of death. Any “cash” owed may be paid in the form of cash, cashier’s or certified check or by
          wire transfer of immediately available funds. The General Partner shall notify the executor, administrator, legal representative or personal representative of the decedent Limited Partner’s estate of the General Partner’s election to issue the
          Common Stock Amount, to pay the Cash Amount or to deliver a combination thereof within a reasonable period of time after the General Partner becomes aware of such death. In the event that any Liens exist or arise with respect to the decedent
          Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, the Common Stock Amount or the Cash Amount, as the case may be, shall be reduced by an amount necessary to discharge such Liens, as determined by the General Partner in good faith, and the General Partner is
          expressly authorized to apply such portion of the consideration as may be necessary to satisfy any indebtedness in full and to discharge such Lien in full. In the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the
          transfer of the decedent Limited Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner (or its designee), the decedent Limited Partner’s estate shall assume and pay such transfer tax. If the General Partner elects to pay a portion of the
          consideration owing in cash because the issuance of the Common Stock Amount would cause the Person legally entitled to receive such Common Stock, together with such Person’s Affiliates, to Beneficially Own in the aggregate shares of Common Stock
          in excess of the Ownership Limit, and, if as a result thereof the General Partner elects to raise such cash through a public offering of its securities, borrowings or otherwise, the Cash Amount shall be reduced by the Transaction Expenses
          allocable to the amounts required to pay the Cash Amount hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cash Amount shall not be reduced hereunder by an amount exceeding 5% of the Cash Amount computed without regard to the
          adjustment for Transaction Expenses.

      

      

      10.9 Rights

              of Series Z Incentive Units. Any Common Units received upon the conversion or redemption of Series Z Incentive Units in the Partnership, which were issued under the Prior Agreements, may thereafter be converted into Common Stock
          pursuant to Section 10.8 and the holder of such Common Units shall have the Rights provided in Article XI; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.8, Article XI or Exhibit I, (i) the General
          Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to assign its obligation pursuant to Section 10.8, Article XI or Exhibit I, as the case may be, to the Partnership, in which case the Partnership will deliver shares of Common Stock that it holds on
          such date in exchange for the Common Units to be converted or redeemed, in lieu of the General Partner issuing new shares of Common Stock to the holder of such Common Units and (ii) neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall pay cash
          (in whole or in part) with respect to the conversion of Common Units received upon conversion or redemption of Series Z Incentive Units.

      

      

      10.10 Conversion and Redemption of Series Z-1 Incentive Units.

      

      

      (a) Upon the occurrence of any Series Z-1 Trigger Event with
          respect to the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall be forfeited and each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit shall, without the taking of any action by the General
          Partner or any Series Z-1 Partners, automatically convert into that number of Common Units calculated by dividing (i) the remainder resulting from (x) the portion of the adjusted Capital Account balance properly allocable to each such Series Z-1
          Incentive Unit at the time of conversion, as determined by the General Partner, taking into account all allocations made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof through and including the date of the conversion (as so adjusted, for purposes of this Section,
          the “Adjusted Capital Account Balance”), minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account as of the time of conversion minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit, by (ii) the adjusted
          Capital Account balance properly allocable to one Common Unit determined immediately prior to such conversion, after taking into account any adjustments made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof through and including the date of conversion.

      

      

      (b) In the event of a Series Z-1 Change in Control, (1) the
          Partnership shall give each Series Z-1 Partner notice as required by Section 10.10(d) and otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in such Section and (2) upon or at any time (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) below) following the
          occurrence of such Series Z-1 Change in Control, each Series Z-1 Partner shall have the right to elect, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.10(d), to forfeit the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account with respect to all of
          the Series Z-1 Incentive Units held by such Series Z-1 Partner and convert each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit into either:

      

      

      (i) that number of Common Units calculated by dividing (I) the
          remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account balance properly allocable to each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit at the time of an election pursuant to this Section 10.10(b), as determined by the General Partner after taking into
          account all allocations required to be made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof, minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account as of the time of conversion, minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive
          Unit, by (II) the adjusted Capital Account balance properly allocable to one Common Unit determined immediately prior to such conversion, after taking into account any adjustments made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof through and including the date
          of conversion; provided, however, that, if applicable, references to “Common Units” in this clause shall be deemed to refer to the class or series of equity interests in the Substitute Umbrella Partnership (as defined in Section 10.10(c)) most
          comparable to the Common Units, after taking into account all relevant rights, benefits, terms and conditions and economic factors and all references to capital account balances and numbers of Common Units shall be equitably adjusted, as nearly
          as may be practicable, to give effect to the rights and obligations of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units or, if applicable, the Substitute Z-1 Incentive Units; or

       

        

      
        33

        
          

      

      (ii) that amount and type of cash, securities or other property as
          such holder would have received in connection with such Series Z-1 Change in Control if he, she or it had elected to convert such Series Z-1 Incentive Units into Common Units in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i) prior to the
          consummation of the Series Z-1 Change in Control and received (or had the right to elect to receive) such consideration in connection with the Series Z-1 Change in Control as the Holder of the number of Common Units into which such Series Z-1
          Incentive Units would have converted as of the date of occurrence of such Change of Control without any increase in the Series Z-1 Conversion Ratchet Percentage that may have occurred after such date; provided, however, that any election pursuant
          to this clause (ii) must be made within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the occurrence of such Series Z-1 Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties hereto that a holder’s right to make the
          election provided in this clause (ii) shall continue notwithstanding that, within such twelve (12) month period, another Series Z-1 Change in Control occurs, such holder’s employment is terminated as referred to in clause (e) below, or such
          holder dies as referred to in clause (f) below; provided, further, that if a Series Z-1 Trigger Event occurs, such holder’s right to make the election provided in this clause (ii) shall continue only until the moment immediately prior to the
          occurrence of such Series Z-1 Trigger Event.

      

      

      For the avoidance of doubt, the Series Z-1 Incentive Units of any Series Z-1 Partner who has not made the election contemplated by this
          Section 10.10(b) shall remain outstanding until such election is made or another clause of this Section 10.10 becomes applicable, and thereafter shall continue to be entitled to all the rights and benefits of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units,
          including without limitation the right to make an election pursuant to this Section 10.10(b) with respect to any subsequent Series Z-1 Change in Control and the potential for continued increase in the Series Z-1 Conversion Ratchet Percentage.

      

      

      (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
          connection with any Series Z-1 Change in Control following which the Partnership will not continue to exist as a separate legal entity or following which the Partnership, despite continuing in legal existence, will no longer conduct its business
          in a fashion substantially similar to the fashion in which it conducted its business immediately prior to such Series Z-1 Change of Control (e.g., owning similar properties and operating in a comparable fashion), the General Partner shall use
          commercially reasonable efforts (after taking into account the fiduciary duties owed by the General Partner to the other Partners in the Partnership in connection with negotiating the Series Z-1 Change in Control transaction as a whole) to cause
          the resulting or surviving entity and/or the entity primarily succeeding to the business of the Partnership, as the case may be, to be a partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity organized under the laws of any state of
          the United States or the District of Columbia (for purposes of this Section, a “Substitute Umbrella Partnership”), and, in the event the Series Z-1 Change in Control does result in a Substitute Umbrella Partnership, shall use commercially
          reasonable efforts to (1) cause the Substitute Umbrella Partnership to issue in connection with such Series Z-1 Change in Control in substitution for any Series Z-1 Incentive Units remaining outstanding as of the effective time thereof other
          interests in the Substitute Umbrella Partnership having substantially the same terms and rights as the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, including with respect to distributions, conversions, ratcheting, voting rights and rights upon liquidation,
          dissolution or winding-up (for purposes of this Section, the “Substitute Z-1 Incentive Units”), (2) make equitable and appropriate provisions for adjustments to the terms of the Substitute Z-1 Incentive Units such that the rights and obligations
          of the Series Z-1 Partners after such Series Z-1 Change in Control as holders of Substitute Z-1 Incentive Units of the Substitute Umbrella Partnership shall be equivalent, as nearly as may be practicable, to their rights and obligations as
          holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units of the Partnership, and (3) secure a commitment of the general partner or other controlling person of the Substitute Umbrella Partnership to undertake to perform the obligations and covenants of the General
          Partner with respect to the Series Z-1 Partners. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee may provide, with respect to all or less than all of the outstanding Series Z-1 Incentive Units, that in
          connection with one or more of the events that constitute a Series Z-1 Change in Control or similar event following which the Partnership will not continue to exist as a separate legal entity or following which the Partnership, despite continuing
          in legal existence, will no longer conduct its business in a fashion substantially similar to the fashion in which it conducted its business immediately prior to such Series Z-1 Change of Control or similar event (e.g., owning similar properties
          and operating in a comparable fashion) (a “Series Z-1 Incentive Units Substitution Event”), the Series Z-1 Conversion Ratchet Percentage for such Series Z-1 Incentive Units outstanding immediately prior to the Series Z-1 Change in Control or
          similar event shall be equal to 100% in the event that (i) the Series Z-1 Change in Control or similar event does not result in a Substitute Umbrella Partnership or (ii) the Substitute Umbrella Partnership does not issue interests in the
          Substitute Umbrella Partnership to holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units in connection with a Series Z-1 Incentive Units Substitution Event in accordance with the foregoing sentence. The Compensation Committee may also provide that the Series Z-1
          Conversion Ratchet Percentage (or the equivalent conversion percentage provision applicable to interests that are issued in the Substitute Umbrella Partnership in connection with a Series Z-1 Incentive Units Substitution Event) shall be equal to
          100% upon the involuntary termination (as determined by the Compensation Committee) within a specified period following a Z-1 Series Change in Control or similar event of (i) a holder of interests in the Substitute Umbrella Partnership issued in
          connection with a Series Z-1 Incentive Units Substitution Event or (ii) a holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units (where no Series Z-1 Incentive Units Substitution Event occurs)

       

        

      
        34

        
          

      

      (d) As promptly as possible prior to the consummation of a Series
          Z-1 Change of Control (but in any event not later than ten (10) days following consummation of such Series Z-1 Change in Control), the Partnership shall deliver a written notice of such Series Z-1 Change of Control to each Series Z-1 Partner at
          their addresses as shown on the records of the Partnership, containing all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Series Z-1 Partners to make an election pursuant to Section 10.10(b) hereof and describing the circumstances and
          relevant facts regarding such Series Z-1 Change of Control, including, without limitation, the expected date of consummation. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any
          proceedings in connection with such Series Z-1 Change of Control or otherwise as contemplated by this Agreement. Each Series Z-1 Partner may exercise his or her right to convert in accordance with Section 10.10(b) by delivering written notice of
          such intent (and specifying whether he or she is electing to convert pursuant to Section 10.10(b)(i) or Section 10.10(b)(ii)) to the Partnership, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to Baker & McKenzie LLP, Attn: Stephen J. Schrader,
          Esq. (such notice, for purposes of this Section, an “Election Notice”). On or before the later of (i) the effective date of such Series Z-1 Change in Control and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day following the date of such Election Notice, the
          Partnership shall issue the consideration required by Section 10.10(b) to the Series Z-1 Partner making the election in exchange for his or her Series Z-1 Incentive Units (or, if applicable, Substitute Z-1 Incentive Units).

      

      

      (e) Effective as of such time as (other than by reason of death, as
          provided in Section 10.10(f)) a holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units is no longer an employee of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account with respect to such
          holder’s Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall be forfeited and the Partnership shall have the right, for 90 days following the date of termination of such holder’s employment, to redeem each Series Z-1 Incentive Unit held by such holder in exchange
          for, at the Partnership’s option, either (1) a number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Partnership calculated by dividing (i) the remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account Balance properly allocable to each such Series
          Z-1 Incentive Unit as determined by the General Partner after taking into account all allocations required to be made pursuant to Exhibit E hereto and, in the event the provisions of Section 2(g) thereof are inapplicable, in a manner consistent
          with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2) (iv)(f) minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account as of the time of redemption minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive
          Unit, by (ii) the Closing Price of Common Stock determined as of such date; or (2) a number of Common Units calculated by dividing (i) the remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account Balance which would be allocable to each such
          Series Z-1 Incentive Unit as determined by the General Partner after taking into account all allocations required to be made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof and assuming that the Capital Accounts of the Partners were adjusted at such time as
          provided in Section 2(g) of Exhibit E hereto minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit, by (ii) the adjusted Capital Account balance
          properly allocable to one Common Unit determined immediately prior to such redemption, after taking into account any adjustments made pursuant to Exhibit E hereof and assuming that the Capital Accounts of the Partners were adjusted at such time
          as provided in Section 2(g) of Exhibit E hereto through and including the date of redemption. The Partnership may exercise its rights under this Section 10.10(e) by providing written notice to the terminated Series Z-1 Partner within 90 days of
          such termination and consummating the redemption promptly thereafter.

      

      

      (f) Upon the death of a holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units, the
          Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Units, shall be forfeited and each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit held by such holder shall be redeemed by the Partnership for, at its option, either (1) a number of
          shares of Common Stock then owned by the Partnership calculated by dividing (i) the remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account Balance properly allocable to each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit as determined by the General Partner
          after taking into account all allocations required to be made by Exhibit E hereto and in the event that the provisions of Section 2(g) of Exhibit E are inapplicable, in a manner consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section
          1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account as of the time of redemption minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit, by (ii) the Closing Price of Common Stock
          determined immediately prior to such redemption; or (2) a number of Common Units calculated by dividing (i) the remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account Balance which would be allocable to each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit as
          determined by the General Partner after taking into account all allocations required to be made by Exhibit E hereto and in the event that the provisions of Section 2(g) are inapplicable, in a manner consistent with the provisions of Treasury
          Regulation Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(f) minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account as of the time of redemption minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit, by (ii) the average
          adjusted Capital Account balance properly allocable to one Common Unit determined immediately prior to such redemption, as determined by the General Partner after taking into account all allocations required to be made by Exhibit E hereto and in
          the event that the provisions of Section 2(g) are inapplicable in a manner consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). The Partnership shall effect the redemption required by this Section 10.10(f) within 60
          days following its receipt of written notification of the death of a Series Z-1 Partner.

       

        

      
        35

        
          

      

      (g) In lieu of delivering a fractional share of Common Stock
          pursuant to this Section 10.10, the Partnership may deliver cash equal to the Closing Price attributable to such fractional share. In lieu of issuing a fractional Common Unit pursuant to this Section 10.10, the Partnership may deliver cash equal
          to the product of (i) the Closing Price multiplied by the Series Z-1 Conversion Ratchet Percentage, and (ii) such fractional Common Unit. For the avoidance of doubt, as to any fractional Common Unit or fraction of a share of Common Stock which
          would otherwise be delivered, the Partnership shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction (which for each holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall be deemed to be a fraction of the last fractional Common Unit or fraction of a
          share of Common Stock after taking into account all Series Z-1 Incentive Units held by such holder, not on a unit-by-unit basis) in the amount provided for in this clause (g).

      

      

      (h) The holder of any Common Units received upon a conversion or
          redemption of Series Z-1 Incentive Units pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall have an aggregate Capital Account balance with respect to such Common Units equal to the remainder resulting from (x) the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of such
          holder’s Series Z-1 Incentive Units (determined pursuant to the applicable sub-section of this Section 10.10) immediately prior to conversion or redemption minus (y) the Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Account minus (z) the Series Z-1 Clawback
          Amount, if any, with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit, and such holder of Common Units shall have all of the rights of holders of Common Units as set forth in this Agreement. Immediately upon conversion or redemption of any Series Z-1
          Incentive Units pursuant to this Section 10.10, the aggregate Series Z-1 Forfeited Capital Accounts with respect to all Series Z-1 Incentive Units being converted or redeemed shall be reallocated among the Capital Accounts of the holders of
          Common Units immediately subsequent to such conversion or redemption on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the Capital Account balances of all such units immediately subsequent to such conversion or redemption. Any Common Units received upon the
          conversion or redemption of Series Z-1 Incentive Units pursuant to this Section 10.10 may thereafter be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.8 and the holder of such Common Units shall have the Rights provided in Article XI;
          provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.8, Article XI or Exhibit I, (i) the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to assign its obligation pursuant to Section 10.8, Article XI or
          Exhibit I, as the case may be, to the Partnership, in which case the Partnership will deliver shares of Common Stock that it holds on such date in exchange for the Common Units to be converted or redeemed, in lieu of the General Partner issuing
          new shares of Common Stock to the holder of such Common Units and (ii) neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall pay cash (in whole or in part) with respect to the conversion of Common Units received upon conversion or redemption of
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units.

      

      

      (i) The Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall rank (i) junior to any and
          all presently outstanding or subsequently issued Preferred Interests and preferred Partnership Units of the Partnership, unless the terms of such Preferred Interests and/or preferred Partnership Units expressly provide that they shall rank junior
          to or pari passu with the Series Z Incentive Units, Series Z-1 Incentive Units or Common Units, and (ii) pari passu with the Common Units and with any other class or series of presently existing or subsequently issued Partnership Units of the
          Partnership, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such Partnership Units shall rank senior to the Series Z-1 Incentive Units or the Common Units with respect to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

      

      

      ARTICLE XI

      GRANT OF RIGHTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS

      

      

      11.1 Grant

              of Rights. The General Partner does hereby grant to the Limited Partners who were Limited Partners at the time of the enactment of the First Amended and Restated Agreement and to those Additional Limited Partners who acquired
          Additional Units with Rights and such Limited Partners and such Additional Limited Partners do hereby accept the right, but not the obligations (hereinafter such right sometimes referred to as the “Rights”), to convert a portion of their
          Partnership Units into shares of Common Stock and to sell the remainder (or any part thereof) of their Partnership Units to the General Partner (or its designee), at any time (whether in one or more instances) on the terms and subject to the
          conditions and restrictions contained in attached Exhibit I. The Rights granted hereunder may be exercised by any one or more of the Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners, on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions
          contained in attached Exhibit I, upon delivery to the General Partner of an Exercise Notice substantially in the form of attached Schedule 1, which notice shall specify the Partnership Units to be sold by such Limited Partner. Once delivered, the
          Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable, subject to payment by the General Partner of the Purchase Price in respect of such Partnership Units in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an
          Additional Limited Partner that acquires Additional Units pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.6 hereof shall not acquire any interest in, and may not exercise or otherwise participate in, any Rights pursuant to this Article XI and attached Exhibit I,
          unless the General Partner approves in writing prior to the admission of such Additional Limited Partner the acquisition of Rights by such Additional Limited Partner.

      ARTICLE XII

      ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES

      

      

      12.1 Arbitration.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all claims, disputes and controversies between the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any claims, disputes and controversies between the Partnership and any one or
          more of the Partners and any claims, disputes and controversies between any one or more Partners) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership created hereby, relating to the validity, construction, performance, breach,
          enforcement or termination thereof, or otherwise, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, in accordance with California Civil Procedure Code Sections 1280 et seq. (other than Section 1283.05), this Article XII and,
          to the extent not inconsistent with this Article XII (other than the reference in this Article to Sections of the California Civil Procedure Code), the Expedited Procedures and Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
          (the “Arbitration Rules”).

      

      

      12.2 Procedures.
          Any arbitration called for by this Article XII shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:

      

      

      (a) The Partnership or any Partner (the “Requesting Party”) may
          demand arbitration pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof at any time by giving written notice of such demand (the “Demand Notice”) to all other Partners and (if the Requesting Party is not the Partnership) to the Partnership which Demand Notice shall
          describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, dispute or controversy.

      

      

      (b) Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of a Demand Notice,
          the Requesting Party, on the one hand, and each of the other Partners and/or the Partnership against whom the claim has been made or with respect to which a dispute has arisen (collectively, the “Responding Party”), on the other hand, shall
          select and designate in writing to the other party one reputable, disinterested individual (a “Qualified Individual”) willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy in question. Each of the Requesting Party and the
          Responding Party shall use its best efforts to select a present or former partner of a “Big 6” accounting firm (or a “Big 8” predecessor thereof) having no affiliation with any of the parties as its respective Qualified Individual. Within fifteen
          (15) days after the foregoing selections have been made, the arbitrators so selected shall jointly select a present or former partner of a “Big 6” accounting firm (or a “Big 8” predecessor thereof) having no affiliation with any of the parties as
          the third Qualified Individual willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy in question (the “Third Arbitrator”). In the event that the two arbitrators initially selected are unable to agree on the Third Arbitrator within
          the second fifteen (15) day period referred to above, then, on the application of either party, the American Arbitration Association shall promptly select and appoint a present or former partner of a “Big 6” accounting firm (or a “Big 8”
          predecessor thereof) having no affiliation with any of the parties as the Qualified Individual to act as the Third Arbitrator in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration Rules. The three arbitrators selected pursuant to this subsection (b)
          shall constitute the arbitration panel for the arbitration in question.

      

      

      (c) The presentations of the parties hereto in the arbitration
          proceeding shall be commenced and completed within sixty (60) days after the selection of the arbitration panel pursuant to subsection (b) above, and the arbitration panel shall render its decision in writing within thirty (30) days after the
          completion of such presentations. Any decision concurred in by any two (2) of the arbitrators shall constitute the decision of the arbitration panel, and unanimity shall not be required. If a decision concurred in by at least two (2) of the
          arbitrators is not rendered within such thirty (30) day period, then each of the parties shall select a new Qualified Individual willing to act as an arbitrator and a new arbitration proceeding shall commence in accordance with this Article XII.

      

      

      (d) The arbitration panel shall have the discretion to include in
          its decision a direction that all or part of the attorneys’ fees and costs of any party or parties and/or the costs of such arbitration be paid by any other party or parties. On the application of a party before or after the initial decision of
          the arbitration panel, and proof of its attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration panel shall order the other party to make any payments directed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

      

      

      (e) The Third Arbitrator shall have the right in its discretion to
          authorize the obtaining of discovery, including the taking of depositions of witnesses for the purpose of discovery.

       

        

      
        37

        
          

      

      (f) At the request of any party, the arbitrators shall make and
          provide to the parties written findings of fact and conclusions of law.

      

      

      12.3 Binding

              Character. Any decision rendered by the arbitration panel pursuant to this Article XII shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction.

      

      

      12.4 Exclusivity.
          Arbitration shall be the exclusive method available for resolution of claims, disputes and controversies described in Section 12.1 hereof, and the Partnership and its Partners stipulate that the provisions hereof shall be a complete defense to
          any suit, action, or proceeding in any court or before any administrative or arbitration tribunal with respect to any such claim, controversy or dispute. The provisions of this Article XII shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership.

      

      

      12.5 No

              Alteration of Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give the arbitrators any authority, power or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to, or subtract from any of the provisions of this Partnership Agreement.

      

      

      12.6 Acknowledgment.
          PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.6 OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, THE FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED, THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED, AND THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTNERS AGREED TO HAVE ANY
          DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE “ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES” PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SUCH PARTNER WAS GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS THAT SUCH PARTNER MIGHT POSSESS TO
          HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN SUCH “ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES” PROVISION. EACH PARTNER, BY HAVING EXECUTED EITHER THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT OR THE AMENDED OR RESTATED AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED, OR

      (a) This Agreement may not be amended, and no provision benefiting
          the General Partner may be waived, except by a written instrument signed by the General Partner and, if the Limited Partners collectively own five percent (5%) or more of the Partnership Units, a Majority-In-Interest of the Limited Partners,
          provided that no amendment of this Agreement may be made without the consent of all of the affected Limited Partners if such amendment (i) provides for any Limited Partner to receive any distribution other than pari passu with all other Limited

          manner adverse to such Partner.

      

      

      (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in Section

      (i) 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;

      

      

      (ii) to reflect the admission, substitution, termination, or
          withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement;

      

      

      (iii) to set forth the rights, powers and duties of the holders of
          any additional Partnership Units issued pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof;

      

      

      (iv) to reflect any change that does not adversely affect the
          Limited Partners in any material respect, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any defective provision in this Agreement, or to make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with
          any other provision of this Agreement;

      

      

      (v) to reflect in Section 6.2 and Exhibit E attached hereto the
          relative distribution and allocation preferences and priorities among two (2) or more classes of Preferred Stock, if applicable;

      

      

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

      

      

      (vii) to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the
          General Partner 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.

      

      

      The General Partner shall provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 13.7(b) is taken, provided that, with
          respect to any amendment to this Agreement, notice of such amendment shall be deemed to have been given when such amendment is publicly filed with the SEC.

       

        

      
        39

        
          

      

      (c) So long as any Series Z-I Incentive Unit remains outstanding,
          the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Weighted Number of Series Z-1 Incentive Units amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a
          result of, or in connection with, a merger, consolidation or otherwise, in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units or the holders
          thereof; provided, however, that the following shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect such powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units: (a) any revision or amendment of the
          definition of “Series Z-1 Conversion Ratchet Percentage” or “Series Z-1 Target FFO” in accordance with the proviso contained in each such definition; (b) any increase in the amount of Partnership Interests, or the creation or issuance of any
          other class or series of Partnership Interests, or obligation or security convertible into, or evidencing the right to purchase, any such Partnership Interests, ranking senior to, junior to or on a parity with the Series Z-1 Incentive Units with
          respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up; or (c) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision(s) of this Agreement that also materially and adversely affects the Common
          Units or the holders thereof in a comparable and proportionate fashion; provided, further, that with respect to the occurrence of a merger, consolidation or comparable transaction, so long as (1) the Partnership is the surviving entity and the
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (2) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity organized under the laws of any state
          and substitutes the Series Z-1 Incentive Units for other interests in such entity having substantially the same terms and rights as the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, including with respect to distributions, conversions, voting rights and rights
          upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units. Notwithstanding
          anything in this Section 13.7(c) to the contrary, the holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units shall have no right to vote or consent with respect to any transaction that constitutes a Series Z-1 Trigger Event or that constitutes a Series Z-1 Change
          in Control so long as the provisions of Section 10.10(b) of this Agreement remain in effect. For avoidance of doubt, holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units will not have any voting rights or rights to consent to any matters except as set forth
          in this Section 13.17(c).

      

      

      13.8 Severability.
          If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons
          or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid by such court, shall not be affected thereby.

      13.10 Pronouns and Headings. As used herein, all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and all defined terms shall include the singular and plural thereof whatever the context and facts require such
          construction. The headings, titles and subtitles herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. Any references in this Agreement to “including” shall be deemed to mean
          “including without limitation”.

      

      

      13.11 Assurances. Each of the Partners shall hereafter execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required or useful to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as

      13.12 Tax Consequences. Each Partner acknowledged in the Original Agreement, the First Amended and Restated Agreement, as amended, the Second Amended and Restated Agreement, as amended, or the Third Amended and Restated
          Agreement, or in an amendment to any of such agreements, that he or she has relied fully upon the advice of its own legal counsel and/or accountant in determining the tax consequences of the Original Agreement, the First Amended and Restated
          Agreement, as amended, the Second Amended and Restated Agreement, as amended, or the Third Amended and Restated Agreement, as the case may be, and the transactions contemplated thereby and not upon any representations or advice by the General
          Partner or by any other Partner. Each Additional Limited Partner shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has relied fully upon the advice of its own legal counsel and/or accountant in determining the tax consequences of this Agreement and
          the transactions contemplated thereby and not upon any representations or advice by the General Partner or by any other Partner.

      13.13 Securities Representations. Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership and the General Partner that such Limited Partner (i) has acquired its Partnership Interest for itself for investment
          purposes only, and not with a view to any resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest, (ii) has been advised and understands that such Partnership Interest has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable
          state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless such Partnership Interest is registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are available, and (iii) has, either
          alone or with its “purchaser representatives” as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment
          in the Partnership. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges that the Partnership and the General Partner have made available to such Limited Partner, at a reasonable time prior to its acquisition of its Partnership Interest, the opportunity to
          ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of such acquisition and to obtain any additional information which the Partnership and/or the General Partner possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
          that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished by the Partnership and the General Partner in connection with such acquisition. Each Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership after the date hereof, shall, by its agreeing
          to be bound by the terms hereof, be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Partnership and the General Partner that such Limited Partner (i) acquired its Partnership Units for itself for investment purposes only, and not with a view to
          any resale or distribution of such Partnership Units, (ii) has been advised and understands that such Partnership Units have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore,
          cannot be resold unless such Partnership Units are registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are available, and (iii) has, either alone or with its “purchaser
          representatives” as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Partnership, and that
          the Partnership and the General Partner made available to such Limited Partner, at a reasonable time prior to its acquisition of its Partnership Interest, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of
          such acquisition and to obtain any additional information which the Partnership and/or the General Partner possessed or could acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished by
          the Partnership and the General Partner in connection with such acquisition.

      

      

      13.14 Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner and each Assignee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner, any Liquidating Trustee, and authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact of each, and each of those
          acting singly, in each case with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead to:

      

      

      (1) execute, swear to, seal, acknowledge,
          deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (a) all certificates, documents and other instruments (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments, supplements or restatements thereof) that the
          General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify or continue the existence or qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited
          liability to the extent provided by applicable law) in the State of California and in all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or own property; (b) all instruments that the General Partner deems appropriate or
          necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (c) all conveyances and other instruments or documents that the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee deems appropriate
          or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, a certificate of cancellation; (d) all conveyances and other instruments or documents that the
          General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the distribution or exchange of assets of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (e) all instruments relating to the dissolution, liquidation
          or winding up of the Partnership or the admission, withdrawal, removal or substitution of any Partner or any of the other events described in, Article VIII, Article IX or Section 13.7 hereof or the Capital Contribution of any Partner; and (f) all
          certificates, documents and other instruments relating to the determination of the rights, preferences and privileges relating to Partnership Interests; and

      

      

      (2) execute, swear to, acknowledge and file all
          ballots, consents, approvals, waivers, certificates and other instruments appropriate or necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to make, evidence, give, confirm or ratify any vote, consent, approval, agreement or
          other action that is made or given by the Partners hereunder or is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or appropriate or necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to effectuate the terms or intent of this
          Agreement.

      

      

      Nothing contained herein shall be construed as authorizing the General Partner to amend this Agreement except in accordance with this
          Article XIII hereof or as may be otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.

      

      

      The foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to be irrevocable and a special power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the
          fact that each of the Limited Partners and Assignees will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other action by it on behalf of the Partnership, and it shall survive and not be
          affected by the subsequent Incapacity of any Limited Partner or Assignee and the Transfer of all or any portion of such Limited Partner’s or Assignee’s Partnership Units or Partnership Interest and shall extend to such Limited Partner’s or
          Assignee’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. Each such Limited Partner or Assignee hereby agrees to be bound by any representation made by the General Partner, acting in good faith pursuant to such power of attorney; and
          each such Limited Partner or Assignee hereby waives any and all defenses that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the General Partner, taken in good faith under such power of attorney. Each Limited Partner or Assignee
          shall execute and deliver to the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the General Partner’s or the Liquidating Trustee’s request therefor, such further designation, powers of attorney and other
          instruments as the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, deems necessary to effectuate this Agreement and the purposes of the Partnership.

      1. Allocations of Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, Net
          Property Gain, Net Property Loss and Components and Items Thereof.

      

      

      (a) Net

              Operating Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Operating Income for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

      

      

      (i) First, to the Partners, until the cumulative Net Operating
          Income allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(a)(i) for the current and all prior periods equals the cumulative Net Operating Loss allocated pursuant to subparagraphs 1(b)(iii) and (iv) hereof for all prior periods, among the Partners in the
          same ratio and reverse order that such Net Operating Loss was allocated (and, in the event of a shift of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership, to the Partners in a manner that most equitably reflects the successors in interest to such
          Partners);

      

      

      (ii) Second, to the General Partner, until the cumulative Net
          Operating Income allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(a)(ii) for the current and all prior periods equals the cumulative Net Operating Loss allocated pursuant to subparagraph 1(b)(ii) hereof for all prior periods;

      

      

      (iii) Third, to the General Partner until the sum of the cumulative
          amount of

      

      

      (x) Net Operating Income
          allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(a)(iii) (and any Net Operating Income allocated with respect to the Series G Preferred Interest and the Series H Preferred Interest under any provisions of the Prior Agreements, as determined by the
          General Partner), plus

      

      

      (y) Net Property Gain
          allocated pursuant to subparagraph 1(c)(iii) (and any Net Property Gain allocated with respect to the Series G Preferred Interest and the Series H Preferred Interest under any provisions of the Prior Agreements, as determined by the General
          Partner),

      

      

      in each case for all fiscal years, equals the total amount of dividends paid on the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock, as of or
          prior to the date of such allocation plus the total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock as of such date;

      

      

      (iv) Thereafter, the balance of the Net Operating Income, if any,
          shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (b) Net

              Operating Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Operating Loss for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

      

      

      (i) First, to the Partners in accordance with their respective
          Percentage Interests until the Capital Account balances of the Limited Partners are reduced to zero (for purposes of this calculation, each Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be credited with the amount such Partner is obligated to restore
          pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) of the Regulations, or is deemed to be obligated to restore with respect to any deficit balance pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the
          Regulations);

      

      

      (ii) Second, to the General Partner until its Capital Account
          balance has been reduced to zero (for purposes of this calculation, such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain shall be added back to its Capital Account);

      

      

      (iii) Thereafter, to the Partners in accordance with their then
          Percentage Interests;

      

      

      (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, to the extent
          any Net Operating Loss allocated to a Partner would cause such Partner (hereinafter, a “Restricted Partner”) to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the fiscal year to which such Net Operating Loss relates, such Net Operating
          Loss shall not be allocated to such Restricted Partner and instead shall be allocated to the other Partner(s), pro rata in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (c) Net

              Property Gain. Except as otherwise provided herein, after the allocation of Net Operating Income or Net Operating Loss has been made pursuant to paragraphs 1(a) and (b) above, Net Property Gain, if any, shall be allocated in the
          following order and priority:

       

        

      
        E-1

        
          

      

      (i) First, to the Partners, until the cumulative Net Property Gain
          allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(c)(i) for the current and all prior periods equals the cumulative Net Property Loss allocated pursuant to subparagraph 1(d)(iii) and (iv) hereof for all prior periods, among the Partners in the same ratio
          and reverse order that such Net Property Loss was allocated to the Partners pursuant to subparagraph 1(d)(iii) and (iv) hereof (and, in the event of a shift of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership, to the Partners in a manner that most
          equitably reflects the successors in interest to the Partners).

      

      

      (ii) Second, to the General Partner, until the cumulative Net
          Property Gain allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(c)(ii) for the current and all prior periods equals the cumulative Net Property Loss allocated pursuant to subparagraph 1(d)(ii) hereof for all prior periods;

      

      

      (iii) Third, to the General Partner until the sum of the cumulative
          amount of

      

      

      (x) Net Operating Income
          allocated to the General Partner under subparagraph 1(a)(iii) (and any Net Operating Income allocated with respect to the Series G Preferred Interest and the Series H Preferred Interest under any provisions of the Prior Agreements, as determined
          by the General Partner), for the current and all prior periods, plus

      

      

      (y) Net Property Gain
          allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(c)(iii) (and any Net Property Gain allocated with respect to the Series G Preferred Interest and the Series H Preferred Interest under any provisions of the Prior Agreements, as determined by the General
          Partner),

      

      

      in each case for all fiscal years, equals the total amount of dividends paid on the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock as of or prior
          to the date of such allocation plus the total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock as of such date;

      

      

      (iv) Thereafter, the balance of the Net Property Gain, if any,
          shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (d) Net

              Property Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, after the allocation of Net Operating Income or Net Operating Loss has been made pursuant to paragraphs 1(a) and (b) above, Net Property Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal
          year or other applicable period shall be allocated as follows:

      

      

      (i) First, to the Partners in accordance with their respective
          Percentage Interests until the Capital Account balances of the Limited Partners are reduced to zero (for purposes of this calculation, each Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be credited with the amount such Partner is obligated to restore
          pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) of the Regulations, or is deemed to be obligated to restore with respect to any deficit balance pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the
          Regulations);

      

      

      (ii) Second, to the General Partner until its Capital Account
          balance has been reduced to zero (for purposes of this calculation, such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain shall be added back to its Capital Account);

      

      

      (iii) Thereafter, to the Partners in accordance with their then
          Percentage Interests;

      

      

      (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, to the
          extent any Net Property Loss allocated to a Partner under subparagraph 1(d) would cause such Partner (hereinafter, a “Restricted Partner”) to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the fiscal year to which such Net Property
          Loss relates, such Net Property Loss shall not be allocated to such Restricted Partner and instead shall be allocated to the other Partner(s), pro rata, in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (e) Special

              Allocation to Holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units and LTIP Units.

      

      

      (i) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
          subsections 2(a) and the allocations of Net Property Gain set forth in subsections 1(c)(i)-1(c)(iii), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit E, in the year in which the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of all or
          substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (or in connection with any “book-up” of Capital Accounts described in subsection 2(c)), Net Property Gain shall first be allocated to the holders of the
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units and LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account balance attributable to each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit and LTIP Unit is equal to (A) the aggregate Economic Capital Account balance attributable to the Common Units
          outstanding divided by (B) the number of such Common Units outstanding (such result, the “Target Balance”). Any such allocations shall be made among the holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units and LTIP Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts
          required to be allocated to each such holder under this subsection 1(e)(i). The allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 1(e) shall be made after the allocation of Net Operating Income or Net Operating Loss for the applicable period in which
          such sale, other disposition or “book-up” of Capital Accounts occurs. For purposes of this subsection 1(e) “all or substantially all” means assets representing not less than 95% of the aggregate fair market value of the Partnership’s assets.

       

        

      
        E-2

        
          

      

      (ii) Net Property Gain allocated to a holder of Series Z-1
          Incentive Units or LTIP Units under this subsection 1(e) will be attributed to specific Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units of such holder for purposes of determining (i) allocations under this subsection 1(e), (ii) the effect of the
          forfeiture or conversion of specific Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units on such holder’s Capital Account and (iii) the ability of such holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units to convert specific Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP
          Units into Common Units. Such Net Property Gain allocated to a holder will generally be attributed in the following order: (i) first, to Vested Series Z-1 Incentive Units and Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years, (ii) second, to Vested
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units and Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less, (iii) third, to Unvested Series Z-1 Incentive Units and Unvested LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require continued employment or service to
          the General Partner, the Partnership or an Affiliate of either for a certain period of time (with such Net Property Gain being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (iv) fourth, to other Unvested Series Z-1
          Incentive Units and Unvested LTIP Units (with such Net Property Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued). Within each category, Net Property Gain will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on, until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the order of smallest amount
          remaining to achieve the applicable Target Balance to the largest such amount.

      

      

      (iii) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth
          above, if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which the Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any present or former holder of Series Z-1
          Incentive Units or LTIP Units attributable to such holder’s Series Z-1 Incentive Units or LTIP Units, exceeds the aggregate Target Balance with respect to such Units, then Net Property Losses shall be allocated to such holder, or Net Property
          Gains shall be allocated to the other Partners, to reduce or eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Net Property Losses or Net Property Gains are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses or gains shall
          be allocated among Partners in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

      

      

      (iv) If Net Property Gain is insufficient to make the full
          allocation provided in subsection 1(e)(i) to any holder of Series Z-1 Incentive Units, then, in lieu of such special allocation of Net Property Gain provided thereunder, items of gross capital gain shall be allocated to the holders of Series Z-1
          Incentive Units, and, if such gross items are insufficient to make the full required allocation, items of gross capital loss shall be allocated pro rata with respect to such Series Z-1 Incentive Units; provided, however, items of gross capital gain or gross capital loss shall not be allocated pursuant to this subsection 1(e)(iv) to
          the extent such allocations would reduce the amount of Net Property Gain otherwise allocable in respect of LTIP Units pursuant to subsection 1(e)(i).

      

      

      (v) The parties agree that the intent of this subsection 1(e) is
          (i) to the extent possible to make the Capital Account balance associated with each Series Z-1 Incentive Unit and each LTIP Unit economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated with a Common Unit and (ii) to allow conversion of
          a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit or an LTIP Unit (assuming prior vesting) into a Common Unit when sufficient Net Property Gains (or items thereof) have been allocated to such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit or LTIP Unit pursuant to subsection 1(e)(i) so
          that the parity described in the definition of Target Balance has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this subsection 1(e) or to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

      

      

      (vi) In the event that Net Property Gains or items thereof are
          allocated under this subsection 1(e), Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss allocable under subsections 1(c) or (1)(d) shall be recomputed without regard to the Net Property Gains or items thereof so allocated under this subsection 1(e).

      

      

      (f) LTIP

              Forfeitures. If a holder of LTIP Units forfeits any LTIP Units to which Net Property Gain has previously been allocated under subsection 1(e), (i) the portion of such holder’s Capital Account attributable to such Net Property Gain
          allocated to such forfeited LTIP Units will be re-allocated to such holder’s remaining LTIP Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such Net Property Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in subsection
          1(e)(ii) above as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to the extent necessary to cause such holder’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to each such LTIP Unit to equal the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to a
          Common Unit and (ii) such holder’s Capital Account will be reduced by the amount of any such Net Property Gain not re-allocated pursuant to clause (i) above.

       

        

      
        E-3

        
          

      

      2. Regulatory

              Allocations, Capital Accounts and Related Provisions.

      

      

      (a) Regulatory

              Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 1, the following special allocations shall be made for each Fiscal Year in the following order of priority:

      

      

      (i) Minimum

              Gain Chargeback. In the event there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, the “minimum gain chargeback” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and Treasury Regulations Section
          1.704-2(g) shall apply.

      

      

      (ii) Partner

              Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, the “partner minimum gain chargeback” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) shall
          apply.

      

      

      (iii) Qualified Income Offset. This Agreement incorporates the “qualified income offset” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) as if those provisions were fully set forth in this Agreement.

      

      

      (iv) Nonrecourse

              Deductions. The Nonrecourse Deductions of the Partnership (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(c)) for any Fiscal Year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their
          respective Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (v) Partner

              Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year (or any other period in which it is necessary to make allocations under this Exhibit E) shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the
          economic risk of losses with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

      

      

      (b) Code

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

      

      

      (c) Capital

              Accounts. A separate capital account (each a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Partner in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and this subsection 2(c) shall be interpreted and
          applied in a manner consistent therewith. Whenever the Partnership would be permitted to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Partnership property,
          the Partnership shall so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners, unless the General Partner determines in its discretion that such adjustment is not necessary or appropriate to reflect or give effect to the intended relative economic
          interests of the Partners. In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Partners are adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Partnership property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Partners
          shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property, (ii) the Partners’
          distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of
          such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c), and (iii) the amount of upward and/or downward adjustments to the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership property shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of
          applying the allocation provisions of this Exhibit E. In the event that Code Section 704(c) applies to Partnership property, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
          1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain and loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property.

      

      

      (d) Certain

              Depreciation Adjustments. For any Fiscal Year in which book depreciation exceeds tax depreciation with respect to any asset the holders of the Preferred Units shall be allocated no book depreciation in excess of tax depreciation
          allocated to them, and any book depreciation from such assets in excess of tax depreciation from such asset shall be allocated to holders other than the holders of Preferred Units.

       

        

      
        E-4

        
          

      

      (e) Capital

              Accounts of Holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units. The Partners recognize that the Percentage Interests of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units are likely to change from year to year as a result of the Series Z-1 Distribution Ratchet
          Percentage applicable to the Series Z-1 Incentive Units (the “Ratchet Changes”). If there are Ratchet Changes in any taxable year and, after all allocations have been made under the other subsections of this Section 2 (other than subsection (f)
          below) and under Section 1 of this Exhibit E, the Capital Accounts relating to the Series Z-1 Incentive Units have not been changed to reflect any changes in the Ratchet Percentages, then items of income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be
          allocated to the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units so as to reflect the Ratchet Changes in the Capital Account relating to the Series Z-1 Incentive Units.

      

      

      (f) Profits

              Interests. The Series Z-1 Incentive Units and the LTIP Units are intended to constitute “profits interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343, and Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191. For any
          Fiscal Year in which distributions are actually made to holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, after all other allocations have been tentatively made pursuant to this Exhibit E, if necessary to cause the Capital Accounts relating to any
          Series Z-1 Incentive Units to be equal (immediately before such distributions and so as to avoid negative Capital Accounts) to the amounts distributed to the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, items of gross income shall be allocated to
          the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units. If there are insufficient items of gross income to be allocated to the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, then such distributions shall, to the extent of such excess, be treated as
          “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code.

      

      

      3. Other

              Allocation Rules.

      

      

      (a) Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, Net Property Gain,
          Net Property Loss and any other items of income, gain, losses or deduction shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Exhibit E as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and such other
          items shall also be allocated at such times as Capital Accounts are adjusted pursuant to subsection 2(c) of this Exhibit E.

      

      

      (b) Each item of the Partnership’s income, gain, losses, deduction
          and credit as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit E.

      

      

      (c) The Partners are aware of the federal income tax consequences
          of the allocations made by this Exhibit E and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Exhibit E in reporting their shares of Partnership income and losses for federal income tax purposes. Any elections or other decisions relating to
          allocations shall be made by the General Partner in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

      

      

      (d) For purposes of determining Net Operating Income, Net Operating
          Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss or any other items allocable to any period, the Partnership shall use a daily, monthly, or other convention, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and
          the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

      

      

      (e) The Partnership shall allocate all “excess nonrecourse
          liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

      

      

      (f) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section
          1.704-2(h)(3), the Partners shall endeavor not to treat distributions of cash as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse Debt.

      

      

      4. Code

              Section 704(c).

      

      

      (a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury
          Regulations thereunder, income, gain, losses and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between
          the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using an allocation method pursuant to the regulations under Code Section 704(c) as selected by the General Partner. In the
          event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, losses and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between
          the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Allocations made under Section 704(c) are solely for purposes of
          federal, state, and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss or other
          items, or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

      “Election Notice” shall mean the written notice
          to be given by the General Partner to the Exercising Partners in response to the receipt by the General Partner of an Exercise Notice from such Exercising Partners, the form of which Election Notice is attached hereto as Schedule 2.

      

      

      “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute.

      

      

      “Exercise Notice” shall mean and include a
          Conversion Component Exercise Notice and/or a Sale Component Exercise Notice.

      

      

      “Exercising Partners” shall have the meaning set
          forth in Paragraph 2 hereof.

      

      

      “Offered Units” shall mean the Partnership Units
          of the Exercising Partners identified in a Conversion Component Exercise Notice or a Sale Component Exercise Notice which, pursuant to the exercise of Conversion Rights or Sale Rights, can be acquired by the General Partner under the terms

      2. Delivery

              of Exercise Notices. Any one or more Limited Partners (“Exercising Partners”) may, subject to the limitations set forth herein:

      

      

      (a) deliver to the General Partner written notice (the “Conversion Component Exercise Notice”) pursuant to which such Exercising Partners elect to exercise their Rights to convert (the “Conversion Rights”) all or any portion of their Partnership Units into shares of Common Stock subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 4 below; and

      

      

      (b) deliver to the General Partner written notice (the “Sale
          Component Exercise Notice”) pursuant to which such Exercising Partners elect to exercise their Rights to sell (the “Sale Rights”) all or any portion of their Partnership Units to the General Partner (or the General Partner’s designee), subject to

      3. Limitations

              on Delivery of Exercise Notices. The first Sale Component Exercise Notice may not be exercised prior to the time that Conversion Rights have been exercised to the fullest extent permissible under Paragraph 4 below.

      

      

      4. Limitation

              on Exercise of Conversion Rights. Conversion Rights may be exercised at any time and from time to time to the extent that, upon exercise of the Conversion Rights, the exercising Limited Partner shall not Beneficially Own shares of
          Common Stock including shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the exercise of such Conversion Rights, in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit or existing Holder Limit, as such terms are defined in the Articles of Incorporation
          of the General Partner (the “Ownership Limit”). For purposes of computing the Ownership Limit as of any date, the Limited Partner shall be deemed to own all shares of Common Stock issuable to the Limited Partner upon the exercise of stock options
          granted on or before such date under the Stock Incentive Plan. If a Conversion Component Exercise Notice is delivered to the General Partner but, as a result of the Ownership Limit or as a result of restrictions contained in the Articles of
          Incorporation of the General Partner, the Conversion Rights cannot be exercised in full, the Conversion Component Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be modified such that the Conversion Rights shall be exercised only to the extent permitted under
          the Ownership Limit in accord with the Articles of Incorporation of the General Partner; with the remainder of such Conversion Rights being deemed to be Sale Rights with the corresponding portion of the Conversion Component Exercise Notice being
          deemed to be a Sale Component Exercise Notice.

       

        

      
        I-1

        
          

      

      5. Exercise

              of Sale Rights. Sale Rights may be exercised at any time and from time to time, subject to the limitation contained in Paragraph 3 hereof.

      

      

      6. Computation

              of Consideration/Form of Payment. With respect to the exercise of Conversion Rights, the consideration payable for the Offered Unit shall be the issuance by the General Partner of the Common Stock Amount. With respect to the
          exercise of Sale Rights, the consideration shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, be paid in the form of (a) cash, cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Exercising
          Partner’s designated account in the amount of the Cash Amount, or (b) by the issuance by the General Partner of the Common Stock Amount, or (c) any combination of cash and Common Stock equal to the Cash Amount.

      

      

      7. Closing;

              Delivery of Election Notice.

      

      

      (a) If the transfers effectuated pursuant to the exercise of
          Conversion Rights or Sale Rights qualify under one of the Safe Harbors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1, other than the Safe Harbor described in Section 9.3(b)(iii), the closing of the acquisition of Offered Units shall, unless
          otherwise mutually agreed, be held at the principal offices of the General Partner, on the following date(s):

      

      

      (i) With respect to the exercise of Conversion Rights, the closing
          shall occur on the date agreed to by the General Partner and the Exercising Partners, which date shall in no event be more than the later of (A) ten (10) days after the date of the Conversion Component Exercise Notice and (B) the expiration or
          termination of the waiting period applicable to each Exercising Partner, if any, under the Hart-Scott Act; and

      

      

      (ii) With respect to the exercise of Sale Rights, the General
          Partner shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the General Partner of any Sale Component Exercise Notice which Notice does not violate the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof, deliver to the Exercising Partners an Election Notice, which
          Election Notice shall set forth the computation of the Cash Amount and shall specify the form of the consideration (which shall be in accordance with Paragraph 6 hereof) to be paid by the General Partner to such Exercising Partners and the date,
          time and location for completion of the purchase and sale of the Offered Units, which date shall, to the extent required, in no event be more than (A) ten (10) days after delivery by the General Partner of the Election Notice for Offered Units
          with respect to which the General Partner has elected to pay the consideration by issuance of shares of its Common Stock or (B) sixty (60) days after the initial date of receipt by the General Partner of the Sale Component Rights Notice for
          Offered Units with respect to which the General Partner has elected to pay the Cash Amount; provided, however, that such sixty (60) day period may be extended for an additional period to the extent required for the General Partner to cause
          additional shares of its Common Stock to be issued to provide financing to be used to acquire the Offered Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the completion date is extended, the General Partner agrees to use its best efforts to
          cause the closing of the acquisition of Offered Units hereunder to occur as quickly as possible.

      

      

      (b) If the transfers effectuated pursuant to the exercise of
          Conversion Rights or Sale Rights only qualify under the Safe Harbor described in Section 9.3(b)(iii), which Section covers the Safe Harbor set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(f) or its successor provision, the closing of the
          acquisition of Offered Units shall, unless otherwise mutually agreed, be held at the principal offices of the General Partner, on the following date(s):

      

      

      (i) With respect to the exercise of Conversion Rights, the closing
          shall occur on the date agreed to by the General Partner and the Exercising Partners, which date shall in no event be more than the ten (10) days after the later of (A) sixty (60) days after the date of the Conversion Component Exercise Notice
          and (B) the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to each Exercising Partner, if any, under the Hart-Scott Act; and

      

      

      (ii) With respect to the exercise of Sale Rights, the General
          Partner shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the General Partner of any Sale Component Exercise Notice which Notice does not violate the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof, deliver to the Exercising Partners an Election Notice, which
          Election Notice shall set forth the computation of the Cash Amount and shall specify the form of the consideration (which shall be in accordance with Paragraph 6 hereof) to be paid by the General Partner to such Exercising Partners and the date,
          time and location for completion of the purchase and sale of the Offered Units, which completion date shall in no event be less than sixty (60) days and no more than seventy (70) days after the initial receipt date by the General Partner of the
          Sale Component Exercise Notice, provided, however, that if the General Partner has elected to pay the Cash Amount for all or a portion of the Offered Units, then such completion date may be extended to the extent required for the General Partner
          to cause additional shares of its Common Stock to be issued to provide financing to be used to acquire the Offered Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the completion date is extended, the General Partner agrees to use its best
          efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of Offered Units hereunder to occur as quickly as possible.

       

        

      
        I-2

        
          

      

      (c) To the extent that the acquisition of Offered Units pursuant to
          Section 7(b) of Exhibit I involves a cash payment, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Partnership Agreement, such cash payment shall be based on either, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, (A) calculating the Cash Amount by
          using the Closing Price as of the closing of the acquisition of the Offered Units, or (B) calculating the Cash Amount by using a redemption or repurchase price established not more than four times during the Partnership’s taxable year.

      

      

      8. Adjustment

              to Purchase Price. If, with respect to the exercise of Sale Rights, the General Partner elects to pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price in cash and if as a result thereof the General Partner elects to raise such cash through
          a public offering of its securities, borrowings or otherwise, the Cash Amount shall be reduced by an amount (“Transaction Expenses”) equal to the expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such raising of funds allocable to the
          amounts required to pay the Cash Amount hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cash Amount shall not be reduced hereunder by an amount exceeding 5% of the Cash Amount computed without regard to the adjustment for
          Transaction Expenses.

      

      

      9. Closing

              Deliveries. At the closing of the purchase and sale of Offered Units, payment of the consideration shall be accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and assignment and by the delivery of (i) representations and warranties of
          (A) the Exercising Partner with respect to its due authority to sell all of the right, title and interest in and to such Offered Units to the General Partner and with respect to the status of the Partnership Units being transferred, free and
          clear of all Liens, and (B) the General Partner with respect to due authority for the purchase of such Offered Units, and (ii) to the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued in payment of the consideration or any portion thereof, (A) an
          opinion of counsel for the General Partner, reasonably satisfactory to the Exercising Partners, to the effect that such shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and (B) a stock
          certificate or certificates evidencing the Common Stock to be issued and registered in the name of the Exercising Partner or its designee.

      

      

      10. [Intentionally

              Omitted]

      

      

      11. Covenants

              of the General Partner. To facilitate the General Partner’s ability to fully perform its obligations hereunder, the General Partner covenants and agrees as follows:

      

      

      (a) At all times during the pendency of the Rights, the General
          Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue such shares in exchange for all of the Partnership Units held by Limited Partners which are from time to time
          outstanding.

      

      

      (b) As long as the General Partner shall be obligated to file
          periodic reports under the Exchange Act, the General Partner will timely file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient of Common Stock issued to Limited Partners hereunder in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the
          Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof.

      

      

      (c) During the pendency of the Rights, the Limited Partners shall
          receive in a timely manner all reports filed by the General Partner with the SEC and all other communications transmitted from time to time by the General Partner to its stockholders generally.

      

      

      (d) Under no circumstances shall the General Partner declare any
          stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution or the like, unless fair and equitable arrangements are provided, to the extent necessary, to fully adjust, and to avoid any dilution in, the rights of Limited Partners under this Agreement.

      

      

      (e) Notwithstanding the General Partner’s determination as to the
          form in which the consideration for the Offered Units shall be payable, the General Partner shall be required to pay such consideration by cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the extent that payment by issuance of
          Common Stock would disqualify the General Partner from being characterized as a REIT.

      

      

      12. Limited

              Partner’s Covenant. Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Offered Units tendered to the General Partner in accordance with the exercise of Rights herein provided shall be delivered to the
          General Partner free and clear of all Liens, and should any Liens exist or arise with respect to such Offered Units, the General Partner shall be under no obligation to acquire the same unless, in connection with such acquisition, the General
          Partner has elected to pay such portion of the consideration therefor in the form of cash in circumstances where such cash will be sufficient to cause such existing Lien to be discharged in full upon application of all or a part of such
          consideration and the General Partner is expressly authorized to apply such portion of the consideration as may be necessary to satisfy any indebtedness in full and to discharge such Lien in full. 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 Offered Units to the General Partner (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

      DESIGNATION OF THE RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES,

      RESTRICTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

      OF THE LTIP UNITS

      

      

      The following are certain additional terms of the LTIP Units:

      

      

      1.1 Designation.
          A class of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the “LTIP Units” is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the Partnership. The number of LTIP Units that may be issued shall not be limited.

      

      

      1.2 Vesting.
          LTIP Units 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 an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The
          terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified from time to time in accordance with its terms. LTIP Units that are not subject to the terms of a Vesting Agreement or have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting
          Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units are referred to as “Unvested LTIP Units.” Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a holder of LTIP Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the
          extent permitted under Article IX of the Agreement.

      

      

      1.3 Forfeiture

              or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units, or the
          repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of LTIP Units at a specified purchase price, then the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose,
          or as transferred to the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any
          distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture.

      

      

      1.4 Legend.
          Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, any Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.

      

      

      1.5 Distributions.
          The distributions to which holders of LTIP Units will be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including, without limitation, Article VI and Article VIII thereof.

      

      

      1.6 Allocations.
          The allocations to which holders of LTIP Units will be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including, without limitation, Exhibit E thereto.

      

      

      1.7 Adjustments.
          If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such LTIP
          Unit Adjustment Event. The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment Events”: (A) the Partnership makes a distribution of Partnership Units on all outstanding Common 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 LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment
          Events occurred simultaneously. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an
          adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such action, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of
          any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances to maintain such correspondence. If an adjustment
          is made to the LTIP Units 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 holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment
          to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

       

        

      
        T-1

        
          

      

      1.8 Right

              to Convert LTIP Units into Common Units.

      

      

      (a) Conversion

              Right. A holder of LTIP Units shall have the right (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Right”), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of such holder’s Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common
          Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to convert Unvested LTIP Units into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units; provided, however, that when a holder of LTIP Units is notified of the expected occurrence of an event
          that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units to become Vested LTIP Units, such Person may give the Partnership an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting, and such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice, unless
          subsequently revoked by the holder of the LTIP Units, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject to such condition. The General Partner shall have the right at any time to cause a conversion of Vested LTIP Units into Common Units provided that
          the Book-Up Target of each such LTIP Unit is zero. In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 1.8.

      

      

      (b) Number

              of Units Convertible. A holder of Vested LTIP Units may convert such Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if
          any) made pursuant to Section 1.7.

      

      

      (c) Notice.
          In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (a “LTIP Unit Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit U to the Agreement not less than 10 nor more than 60 days, or such shorter period as
          the General Partner shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to a date (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date”) specified in such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice. Each holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all
          Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be free and clear of all liens.

      

      

      (d) Rights.
          Any Common Units received upon the conversion of LTIP Units may thereafter be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.8 of the Agreement and the holder of such Common Units shall have the Rights provided in Article XI with respect to
          such Common Units; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.8, Article XI or Exhibit I, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to assign its obligation pursuant to Section 10.8,
          Article XI or Exhibit I, as the case may be, to the Partnership, in which case the Partnership will deliver shares of Common Stock that it holds on such date in exchange for the Common Units to be converted or redeemed, in lieu of the General
          Partner issuing new shares of Common Stock to the holder of such Common Units.

      

      

      1.9 Forced

              Conversion. The Partnership, at any time at the election of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero held by a holder of LTIP Units to be converted (a “LTIP Unit Forced
          Conversion”) into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7. In order to exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a “LTIP
          Unit Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit V to this Agreement to the applicable holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a date (the “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date”) specified in such LTIP Unit Forced
          Conversion Notice. A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 13.1 of this Agreement.

      

      

      1.10 Conversion

              Procedures. Subject to any redemption of Common Units to be received upon the conversion of Vested LTIP Units, a conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the holder thereof has given an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice or the
          Partnership has given a Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date or LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP
          Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the
          conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the General Partner certifying the number of Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held
          by such Person immediately after such conversion.

      

      

      1.11 Treatment

              of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations pursuant to Exhibit E to this Agreement, upon the conversion of LTIP Units into Common Units, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable
          holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of LTIP Units converted into Common Units and the Target Balance as of such time, provided
          that for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of such reduction shall instead be attributable to the Economic Capital Account Balance that is attributable to the Common Units into which such LTIP Units were converted.

       

        

      
        T-2

        
          

      

      1.12 Mandatory

              Conversion in Connection with a Transaction.

      

      

      (a) 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 LTIP Unit 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 Common 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”), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise
          its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, 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 LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction).

      

      

      (b) In anticipation of such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion and the
          consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall cause each holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her LTIP Units 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 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 holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall afford such 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 LTIP Unit held by
          such holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by 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 holder of Common Units failed to make such an election.

      

      

      (c) Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General
          Partner under any Vesting Agreement and the terms of any plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section
          1.12 and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will
          (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their LTIP Units 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 Agreement for the benefit of the holders of LTIP Units.

      

      

      1.13 Redemption

              at the Option of the Partnership. LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership from (i) repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) from
          exercising its LTIP Unit Forced Conversion right.

      

      

      1.14 Voting

              Rights. Holders of LTIP Units shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Units; holders of LTIP Units and Common Units shall vote together as a single class, together with any other
          class or series of Partnership Units upon which like voting rights have been conferred. In any matter in which the LTIP Units are entitled to vote, including an action by written consent, each LTIP Unit shall be entitled to vote a Percentage
          Interest equal on a per unit basis to the Percentage Interest represented by each Common Unit.

      1.15 Special

              Approval Rights. Except as provided in Section 1.14 above, holders of LTIP Units shall only (a) have those voting rights required from time to time by
          non-waivable provisions of applicable law, if any, and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth in this Section 1.15. The General Partner
          and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative consent of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take
          any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions: (i) no separate consent of the
          holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any such alteration, change, modification or amendment would equally, ratably and proportionately alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Common Units
          (in which event the holders of LTIP Units shall only have such voting rights, if any, as expressly provided for in the Agreement, in accordance with Section 1.14 above); (ii) with respect to any merger, consolidation or other business combination
          or reorganization, so long as either (w) the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction, (x) the holders of LTIP Units either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for
          each LTIP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Common Unit in consideration of one Common Unit pursuant to the terms of such transaction,
          (y) the LTIP Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, the LTIP Units are exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are
          materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as the LTIP Units and without any income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the holder upon the exchange for U.S. federal income
          tax purposes (and with the terms of the Common Units or such other securities into which the LTIP Units (or the substitute security therefor) are convertible materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption,
          conversion and voting), such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units, provided
          further, that if some, but not all, of the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction (and neither clause (y) or (z) above is applicable), then the consent required pursuant to this
          Section will be the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the LTIP Units to be outstanding following such conversion; (iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Units (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP
          Units in any respect, which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Common Units or (y) does require such consent and is authorized by a vote of the holders of Common Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class
          pursuant to Section 1.14 above, together with any other class or series of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership upon which like voting rights have
          been conferred, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and (iv) any waiver by the Partnership of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding
          LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders.

      

      

      1.16 The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or
          prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required to be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or
          conversion to occur as of or prior to such time.

“LIBOR Termination Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.10.5.”
(e)A new Section 2.10.5 is hereby added as follows:
“2.10.5. Successor LIBOR Rate Index.  (i) If Administrative Agent reasonably and in good faith determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that (a) the circumstances 

	
			
	 
	2
	 

set forth in Section 3.5 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, (b) the LIBOR Base Rate specified herein is no longer a widely used benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (c) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.5 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the LIBOR Base Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the LIBOR Base Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market  in the applicable currency (the applicable date of any such event, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), then Administrative Agent may (in consultation with Borrower and as determined by Administrative Agent to be generally consistent with market practice), choose a replacement index for the LIBOR Base Rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement. 
(ii)    Administrative Agent and Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 10.1 hereof), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent receives, on or before such fifth (5th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment (which notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects).  
(iii)    Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (a) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices in respect of syndicated loans in the United States for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated syndicated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, (b) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the replacement index and (c) shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice.
(iv)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 2.10.5 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided however, that if Administrative Agent reasonably and in good faith determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Reference Rate Committed Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.  
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.”
(f)The following new Section 6.1.6 is hereby added:

“6.1.6.  Certificate of Beneficial Ownership and Other Additional Information.  If Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, then Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent and the Lenders: (i) promptly upon such qualification, a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders and thereafter from time to time confirmation of the accuracy of the information set forth in the most recent Certificate of Beneficial Ownership provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders; (ii) a new Certificate of Beneficial Ownership, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, when the individual(s) to be identified as a Beneficial Owner have changed; and (iii) such other information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent or any Lender from time to time for purposes of compliance by Administrative Agent or such Lender with applicable laws (including without limitation the Act and other “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any policy or procedure implemented by Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply therewith.”
(g)Section 6.14(b) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows: 

	
			
	 
	3
	 

“6.14(b).  Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, create, assume or allow any negative pledge agreement in favor of any other Person affecting or relating to any Unencumbered Property, other than a negative pledge agreement as contemplated by Section 6.14(a) under and pursuant to a third party credit agreement (including any third party private placement note agreement) with institutional investors or under and pursuant to notes issued at any time in a Rule 144A, Regulation S or public offering or exchange of such notes. In addition, neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall incur nor permit their respective subsidiaries to incur (in this context, an “Obligor”) any intercompany Indebtedness owing to Borrower, Guarantor, any such subsidiary of Borrower or Guarantor or any other Affiliate (in this context, an “Intercompany Creditor”) other than on fair and  reasonable terms substantially as favorable to the Obligor as would be obtainable by the Obligor at the time in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person other than the Intercompany Creditor.”

Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations under the Loan Documents and agrees that the execution and delivery of this First Amendment does not in any way diminish or invalidate any of its obligations thereunder.

3.Guarantor Ratification.  Guarantor agrees that it has no defenses or set-offs against the Lenders or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys, with respect to the Guaranty, which is in full force and effect, and that all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty not inconsistent herewith shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms.

(b)After giving effect to this First Amendment, no Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents exists on the date hereof; 
(c)This First Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower so as to constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles; 
(d)The Joinder Page to this First Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor; and 
(e)No material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates has occurred since the date of the last financial statements of the afore-mentioned entities which were delivered to Administrative Agent.
