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

(ii)        Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any
liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a limited partner of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in any such loan guaranty), contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other
obligation or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and

liability for any such indebtedness. 

  
 31 

  

(iii)        Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made
only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or otherwise provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its
obligations under this Section 7.6. 
 (b)        Reasonable expenses incurred by
an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative made or
threatened against an Indemnitee upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as
authorized in this Section 7.6 has been met; and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity
unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnities are indemnified. 

(d)        The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance,
on behalf of the Indemnities and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (e)        For purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
whenever the performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee
with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its
duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. 

(f)        In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners (other than the General
Partner) to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 

(g)        An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Section 7.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 32 

  

(h)        (i)        The provisions of this
Section 7.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 

(ii)        Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to
claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 

(i)        If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this
Section 7.6 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code,
shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts. 

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

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

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

  
 45 

  

(c)        The General Partner may prohibit any Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership
Units if it reasonably believes (based on the advice of counsel) such Transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or
regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units. 
 (d)        No
Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if 

(i)        it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to
continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code; 
 (ii)        it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes; 

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

(iv)        such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel for the
Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; 

(v)        such Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; 
 (vi)        without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, such Transfer is a sale or exchange, and
such sale or exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during the 12-month period ending on the date of the proposed Transfer, result in 50% or more of the interests in Partnership capital and profits being sold or exchanged
during such 12-month period; or 
 (vii)        such Transfer is
effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. 

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

  
 46 

  

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

	11.4	Substituted Limited Partners 

 (a)        (i)        No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a Permitted Transferee for a Limited Partner in
its place. 
 (ii)        The General Partner shall, however, have the
right to consent to the admission of a Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its
sole and absolute discretion. 
 (iii)        The General Partner’s
failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. 
 (b)        A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be
subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. 

(c)        (i)        No Permitted Transferee will be
admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, unless such transferee has furnished to the General Partner evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, as it relates to the
Substituted Limited Partners, the Exchange Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof. 
 (ii)        Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership
Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner, and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 

 

	11.5	Assignees 

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

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

  
 47 

  

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

 

	11.6	General Provisions 

(a)        No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a
permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article 11 or, as it relates to the Limited Partners, pursuant to exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to the applicable Exchange Rights
Agreement. 
 (b)        (i)        Any Limited
Partner which shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall cease to be a Limited Partner upon the admission of all Assignees of such Partnership Units as Substituted Limited Partners.

 (ii)        Similarly, any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of
its partnership Units pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an Exchange Rights Agreement shall cease to be a Limited Partner. 
 (c)        Other than pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement or with the consent of the General Partner, transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made
as of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership. 

(d)        (i)        If any Partnership Interest is
transferred or assigned during the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or exchanged pursuant to the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then
Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such Partnership Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying
interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. 
 (ii)        Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the Transfer or assignment occurs shall be allocated
to the transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which an exchange occurs shall be allocated to the exchanging Partner, provided, however, that the General Partner may adopt such other conventions relating to allocations
in connection with transfers, assignments, or exchanges as it determines are necessary or appropriate. 

(iii)        All distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(a) attributable to
Partnership Units, with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment, or exchange of such Partnership Units, shall be made to the transferor Partner or the exchanging Partner, as the case may be, and
in the case of a Transfer or assignment other than an exchange, all distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(a) thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units shall be made to the transferee Partner. 

  
 48 

  

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

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

state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment and a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of
the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner. 

  
 52 

  
 As used herein, a
“majority in interest” shall refer to Partners (excluding the General Partner) who hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Percentage Interests not held by the General Partner. 

 

	13.2	Winding Up 

(a)        (i)        Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating
Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.

(iii)        The General Partner, or, in the event there is no remaining General
Partner, any Person elected unanimously by the Limited Partners holding at least a “majority in interest” (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”), shall be responsible for
overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value
thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of common stock or other securities of the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order: 

(A)        First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s

(D)        the balance, if any, shall be distributed to all Partners with
positive Capital Accounts.

 (b)        (i)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof which require liquidation of the assets
of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or
would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any asset except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners
as creditors) or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for
liquidation. 

  
 53 

  

(ii)        Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good
faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interests of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and
equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. 

(iii)        The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property
distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt. 

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

(A)        distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General
Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or the General Partner arising out of
or in connection with the Partnership; the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed
to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or 
 (B)        withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any
installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2(a), as soon as
practicable. 
  

	13.3	No Obligation to Contribute Deficit 

 If any Partner has a deficit balance in his Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation
occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose
whatsoever. 
  

	13.4	Rights of Limited Partners 

(a)        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely
to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contributions and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership. 

  
 54 

  

(b)        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority
over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations. 
  

	13.5	Notice of Dissolution 

 In
the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall,
within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners. 
  

	13.6	Termination of Partnership and Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership 

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets, as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be
terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed, and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the state of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to
terminate the Partnership shall be taken. 
  

	13.7	Reasonable Time for Winding-Up 

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

	13.8	Waiver of Partition 

 Each
Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy. 

(d)        (i)        Each meeting of the Partners shall
be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate.

 Exhibit B

 Allocations 

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

2.        Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the
following special allocations shall be made. 
 (a)        Minimum Gain Chargeback
(Nonrecourse Liabilities). Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items
to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f) and (i) of the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(a) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto. 

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

  
 B-1

  

(c)        Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Partner unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain
shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a
“qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (d)        Other Chargeback of Impermissible Negative Capital Account. To the extent any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any
Partnership fiscal year, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph 2(d)
shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if this paragraph 2(d) were not in the Agreement.

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

(f)        Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal
year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and
1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations). 
 (g)        Section 754 Adjustment. To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be
taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and
such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations. 

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

 

	3.	Tax Allocations. 

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

  
 B-2

  

(b)        Section 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the sale of
Partnership assets is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 (“Affected Gain”), then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the
depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 3(b) shall not alter the amount of Net Income (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but merely the character of such Net Income
(or items thereof). For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as
Net Income and Net Loss for such respective period. 
 (c)        Precontribution
Gain, Revaluations. With respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership shall use any permissible method contained in the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole
discretion, to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset and the fair market value of such asset as of the time of the contribution (“Precontribution Gain”). Each Partner hereby agrees to report income, gain,
loss and deduction on such Partner’s federal income tax return in a manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership. If any asset has a Gross Asset Value which is different from the Partnership’s adjusted basis for such asset for
federal income tax purposes because the Partnership has revalued such asset pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the allocations of Tax Items shall be made in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code
and the Regulations and the methods of allocation promulgated thereunder. The intent of this subparagraph 3(c) is that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property will bear, through reduced allocations of
depreciation, increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments associated with any Precontribution Gain. This subparagraph 3(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such intent. 

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

  
 B-3

  

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

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

  
 B-4

“ SEC ” means the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

“ Specified Exchange Date ” means the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt by the Operating

the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the Company or if the REIT Stock is not then traded on any market, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Independent
Directors (as defined by the Company’s charter). 
 In the event the REIT Stock Amount includes rights that a holder of REIT Stock would be
entitled to receive, then the Value of such rights shall be determined by the independent directors of the Company acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as they consider, in their reasonable judgment,
appropriate.

satisfy the Exchange Right which is the subject of such notice in accordance with Section 2.2. 

  
 C-3

  

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

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

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

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

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

  
 C-4

  

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

(ii)        each Exchanging Partner hereby agrees to execute such documents and
instruments as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Stock upon exercise of the Exchange Right, and 
 (iii)        the Company hereby agrees to deliver stock certificates representing fully paid and nonassessable shares of REIT Stock. 

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

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

   (b)        if the Company has elected REIT status, would otherwise
jeopardize the REIT status of the Company, or 
   (c)        would cause the
acquisition of the REIT Stock by the Limited Partner to be “integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Stock by the Company for purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act. 

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

2.5        Expiration of Exchange Right. The Exchange Right shall expire with respect to
any Partnership Units for which an Exchange Notice has not been delivered to the Operating Partnership and the Company on or before December 31, 2040. 
 2.6        Effect of Exchange. (a) Any exchange of Partnership Units pursuant to this Article 2 shall be deemed to have occurred as of the Specified Exchange
Date for all purposes, including without limitation the payment of distributions or dividends in respect of Partnership Units or REIT Stock, as applicable. 
    (b)        Any Partnership Units acquired by the Company pursuant to an exercise by any Limited Partner of an Exchange Right shall be deemed to be
acquired by and reallocated or reissued to the Company. 
   (c)        The
Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall amend the Partnership Agreement to reflect each such exchange and reallocation or reissuance of Partnership Units and each corresponding recalculation of the Partnership Units of the
Limited Partners.

OTHER PROVISIONS 
  3.1        Covenants of the Company. (a) At all times during the pendency of the Exchange Right, the Company shall reserve for issuance such number

    (b)        During the pendency of the Exchange Right, the Company shall
deliver to Limited Partners in a timely manner all reports filed by the Company with the SEC to the extent the Company also transmits such reports to its stockholders and all other communications transmitted from time to time by the Company to its
stockholders generally. 
     (c)        The Company shall notify
each Limited Partner, upon request, of the then current Exchange Factor and such notice will include a reasonable explanation of the Exchange Factor calculation to be applied at such time.

upon exchange of Partnership Units.

surrendered. 
     (c)        Instead of any fractional shares of
REIT Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon exchange of any Partnership Units, the Operating Partnership shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the Cash Amount of a Partnership Unit multiplied by such
fraction. 
  3.3        Investment Representations and Warranties. By
delivering to the Company a Notice of Exchange, each Exchanging Partner will be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company and the Operating Partnership that such Exchanging Partner is aware of the Company’s option to exchange such
Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units for REIT Stock pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof and that:

     (B)        is capable of protecting its own
interest or has engaged representatives or advisors to assist it in protecting its interests and 

    (C)        is capable of bearing the economic risk of

    (iii)        Such Exchanging Partner has relied and is
making its investment decision based upon the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement relating to the Consolidation and any subsequent Prospectus, the SEC Reports and other written information provided to the Exchanging Partner by or on behalf of

certificates representing such shares of REIT Stock will bear a legend to such effect,

Partnership’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of such Exchanging Partner contained herein,

Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and the Exchanging Partner (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”). 
     (ii)        Such Exchanging Partner acknowledges that because of the restrictions on transfer or assignment of such REIT Stock to be issued

Stock registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 Exhibit D

 (Certificate of Limited Partnership)Form of Indemnification Agreement

  
 Exhibit 10(a)

 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of                     
    , 2010, is made by and between Sigma-Aldrich Corporation., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and
                     (the “Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Corporation recognizes that competent and
experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, or both, due to increased exposure to
litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers; 

B. The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers are often difficult to apply, ambiguous, or
conflicting, and therefore fail to provide such directors and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of legal risks to which they are exposed or information regarding the proper course of action to take; 

C. The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be
so enormous (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation is often beyond the personal resources of directors and officers; 
 D. The Corporation believes that it is unfair for its directors and officers to assume the risk of huge judgments and other expenses which may occur in cases in which the director or officer received no
personal profit and in cases where the director or officer was not culpable; 
 E. The Corporation, after reasonable
investigation, has determined that the liability insurance coverage presently available to the Corporation may be inadequate in certain circumstances to cover all possible exposure for which Indemnitee should be protected. The Corporation believes
that the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders would best be served by a combination of such insurance and the indemnification by the Corporation of the directors and officers of the Corporation; 

F. The Corporation’s By-Laws require the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware Corporation Law. The By-Laws expressly provide that contracts may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to indemnification; 

G. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (“Section 145”), under which the
Corporation is organized, empowers the Corporation to indemnify its officers and directors by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve, at the request of the Corporation, as the directors or officers of other corporations or enterprises, and
expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive; 

  
 1 

  
 H. The Board of
Directors has determined that contractual indemnification as set forth herein is not only reasonable and prudent but also promotes the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders; 

I. The Corporation desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation and/or
one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of the Corporation free from undue concern for unwarranted claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Corporation and/or one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of the Corporation; and

 J. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve or to provide additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation on
the condition that he is furnished the indemnity provided for herein. 
 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Generally.  
 To the fullest extent permitted by the
laws of the State of Delaware: 
 (a) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been
taken or omitted in such capacity. 
 (b) The indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall be from and against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall
only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, in
the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or
while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or 

  
 2 

 
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. 

(d) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

Section 2. Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without
(a) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (b) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (c) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (d) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (e) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto. 
 If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not,
however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 Section 3. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless
otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 1(b) hereof. Any such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum,
(b) by a majority vote of a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, (c) by a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes
entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (d) by independent legal counsel, or (e) by a court of
competent jurisdiction. 

  
 3 

  
 Section 4.
Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim. 
 (a) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by Indemnitee in defending a threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with an enforcement action pursuant to Section 5(b), shall be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of (i) a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, and
(ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount or amounts, only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this
Agreement or otherwise. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. 

(b) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim
thereof is to be made against the Corporation hereunder, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Corporation of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification, will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Corporation is prejudiced in its defense of such action, suit or proceeding as a result of such failure.

 (c) In the event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the expenses of Indemnitee with respect to an action, suit or
proceeding, as provided in this Agreement, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written
notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of
counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same action, suit or proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding at Indemnitee’s
expense and (ii) if (1) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Corporation, (2) counsel to the Corporation shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or
position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (3) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume
the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement. The Corporation shall not be entitled,
without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Corporation shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (2) above.

 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of
Indemnitee’s corporate status with respect to the Corporation or any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the

  
 4 

 
Corporation, a witness or otherwise participates in any action, suit or proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not a party in the action, suit or proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
 Section 5. Procedure for Indemnification. 
 (a) To obtain
indemnification, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and
to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 

(b) The Corporation’s determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a). The right to indemnification as granted by Section 1 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such 60-day period. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and
expenses under Section 4 hereof where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by
clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to
the commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, nor the fact that there has been an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. 
 (c)
The Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that
presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

  
 5 

  
 Section 6.
Insurance and Subrogation. 
 (a) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Indemnitee who is
or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. If the Corporation has such insurance in effect at the time the Corporation receives from Indemnitee any notice of the
commencement of a proceeding, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable
action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 16 below, in the event of any payment by the Corporation under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit
to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation. 

(c) Except as provided in Section 16 below, the Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this
Agreement or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 7. Certain Definitions. For
purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: 
 (a) The term “action, suit or proceeding” shall
be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. 
 (b) The term “by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any actual or alleged act or omission to act.

appeal bonds, other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Corporation or any third party, provided that the rate of compensation and estimated time
involved is approved by the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right
to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise. 

(d) The term “judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without

(e) The term “Corporation” shall include, without limitation and in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
 (f) The term “other enterprises” shall include, without
limitation, employee benefit plans. 
 (g) The term “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include, without
limitation, any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or
beneficiaries. 
 (h) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of
the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement. 

Section 8. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Corporation
shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement: 
 (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, except with respect to an action, suit or proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed
by the provisions of Section 8(b) of this Agreement), unless such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 

  
 7 

  
 (b) Action for
Indemnification. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Indemnitee is successful in establishing
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification in such action, suit or proceeding, in whole or in part, or unless and to the extent that the court in such action, suit or proceeding shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s failure to establish
their right to indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such expenses; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8(b) is intended to limit the Corporation’s obligation with respect to the advancement of expenses to
Indemnitee in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 4 hereof. 
 (c) Section 16 Violations. To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for payment or an accounting of
profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute. 

(d) Non-compete and Non-disclosure. To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with proceedings or claims involving the
enforcement of non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or the non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements the Indemnitee may be a party to with the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the
Corporation or any other applicable foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if any. 
 Section 9. Certain Settlement Provisions. The Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee
without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 10. Savings
Clause. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to costs, charges and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full
extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. 
 Section 11. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the payment of Indemnitee’s costs, charges and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, 

  
 8 

 
administrative or investigative, in an amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other directors and officers of the
Corporation or others pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to (a) the failure of
Indemnitee to meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, or (b) any limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 6(c), 8 or 9 hereof. 
 Section 12. Form and Delivery of Communications. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the parties under this Agreement shall be in writing and
either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for
a party as shall be specified by like notice): 
  

							
	If to the Corporation:	 		 	
			
	Sigma-Aldrich Corporation	 		 	
	3050 Spruce Street	 		 	
	St. Louis, MO 63103	 		 	
	Attention:	 	  
	 		 	
	Facsimile:	 	  
	 		 	
			
	If to Indemnitee:

	 [address]

 Section 13. Subsequent Legislation. If the DGCL is amended after adoption of this
Agreement to expand further the indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. 

Section 14. Nonexclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law or the Corporation’s By-Laws, in any court in which a proceeding is brought, the vote of the Corporation’s stockholders or disinterested
directors, other agreements or otherwise, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
Indemnitee. However, no amendment or alteration of the Corporation’s By-Laws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement 

Section 15. Enforcement. The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable. The Corporation agrees that its execution of this Agreement shall constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court of competent

  
 9 

 
jurisdiction in which a proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his rights hereunder shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are
unique and special, and that failure of the Corporation to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other
right or remedy Indemnitee may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Corporation of its obligations under this
Agreement. 
 Section 16. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this
Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law. 
 Section 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters
covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superceded by this Agreement. 

Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding
unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver. 
 Section 19. Successor and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any
direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

Section 20. Service of Process and Venue. For purposes of any claims or proceedings to enforce this agreement, the
Corporation consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the states of Delaware, and waives and agrees not to raise any defense that any such court is an inconvenient forum or any similar claim.

 Section 21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the
laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a final determination that the provisions of the law of any
state other than Delaware govern indemnification by the Corporation of its officers and directors, then the indemnification provided under this Agreement shall in all instances be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under such law,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary. 

  
 10 

  
 Section 22.
Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to employment or continued employment. 
 Section 23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one
and the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or same counterpart. 

Section 24. Headings. The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
