  (e)          (i) No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of such
    Unit Holder for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Unit Holder or the consummation by such Unit Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by
    such Unit Holder nor the consummation by such Unit Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Unit Holder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or violate, any provision of the organizational documents of
    such Unit Holder, as applicable, (B) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
    acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Encumbrance on such property or asset of such Unit Holder pursuant to, any contract to which such Unit Holder is a party or by which such Unit Holder or any property or asset of such Unit
    Holder is bound or affected or (C) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Unit Holder or any of such Unit Holder’s properties or assets except, in the case of clause (B) or (C), for breaches,
    violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of such Unit Holder to perform its obligations hereunder. 

  

  
    4

    
      
 

  

  (f)           As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against such Unit
    Holder or, to the knowledge of such Unit Holder, any other Person or, to the knowledge of such Unit Holder, threatened against the Unit Holder or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the
    performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

   

  (g)          Each Unit Holder understands and acknowledges that Trinity and Management Company are relying upon the Unit Holders’ execution and

  (i)          Transfer, or enter into any contract, option, agreement or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any

    approve the Transaction, the Mergers, or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or 

  

  
    5

    
      
 

  

  (vii)       Knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Unit Holder contained herein untrue or incorrect or
    have the effect of preventing or disabling such Unit Holder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

   

  (b)          Such Unit Holder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted
    heretofore with respect to any of the matters described in Section 7 (a) above.
