Item 4.01.

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

As described above, upon the Merger, the Registrant succeeded the LLC as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, and the business of the LLC and its subsidiaries became the business of the Registrant. Accordingly, prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Board approved, effective upon the Merger, on February 4, 2015, the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“ EY ”) as the Registrant’s independent registered accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015 and will dismiss KPMG LLP (“ KPMG ”), which is currently serving as the Registrant’s independent auditors, upon completion of their audit of the Registrant’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the issuance of their report thereon.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and through February 4, 2015, the Registrant has not consulted with EY regarding the application of accounting principles to any proposed transaction or the rendering of any audit opinion on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements.

The audit reports of KPMG on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the past two years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and through February 4, 2015, there were (i) no “disagreements,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K between the Registrant and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference thereto in its reports for such years; and (ii) no “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant has provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosures, and KPMG has furnished the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Commission. A copy of such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01.

Changes in Control of Registrant.

Prior to the Offering, the Registrant was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hunt. As a result of the Offering and the Reorganization, the Registrant is a publicly traded company with shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange and, as more fully described in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Description of Our Capital Stock—Reorganization,” which section is incorporated herein by reference, the Existing Investors also acquired shares of Common Stock and/or Classified Stock of the Registrant. As a result, the Existing Investors own approximately 43.0% of outstanding capital stock of the Registrant, Hunt-InfraREIT owns approximately 6.9% of the outstanding capital stock of the Registrant and public stockholders own approximately 50.1% of the outstanding capital stock of the Registrant. On a fully-diluted basis, assuming all of the units representing partnership interests in the Operating Partnership were exchanged for shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, the Existing Investors and other pre-Offering holders of units representing partnership interests in the Operating Partnership continue to own approximately 38.1% of the Company, Hunt-InfraREIT continues to own approximately 23.9% of the Company and public stockholders own approximately 38.0% of the Company.

4.2. Authorization . This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on behalf of Hunt-InfraREIT in order to authorize Hunt-InfraREIT to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by Hunt-InfraREIT, shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Hunt-InfraREIT, enforceable against Hunt-InfraREIT in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

Hunt-InfraREIT acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Structuring Fee Securities for resale other than pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, Hunt-InfraREIT and the other investors party thereto, as it will be amended and restated upon the IPO Closing. Hunt-InfraREIT further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Structuring Fee Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company that are outside of Hunt-InfraREIT’s control, and that the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.”

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Hunt has informed the REIT that Hunt currently intends for a REIT Entity to be the primary owner of all T&D Projects that Hunt or an Affiliate thereof develops (once those T&D Projects become Operating T&D Assets); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the initial public offering of the REIT, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to evidence their understanding with respect to, among other things, the procedures whereby ROFO Projects (as defined below) are to be offered to InfraREIT and accepted or declined and ROFL Assets (as defined below) are to be offered to Sharyland (as defined below) and accepted or declined.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including exhibits, schedules and amendments) shall have the meanings set forth below or in the Section of this Agreement referred to below, except as otherwise expressly indicated or limited by the context in which they appear in this Agreement.

“ Affiliate ” means, with regard to a Person, a Person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such original Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “affiliated,” “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the REIT Entities shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of Hunt. For the avoidance of doubt, a Person holding direct or indirect Equity Interests in a ROFO Entity shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the other holders of direct or indirect Equity Interests in such ROFO Entity solely as a result of such common ownership.

“ Agreement ” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

“ Arbitration Panel ” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.7(a) .

“ Confidential Information ” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.8(a) .

“ Drag-able Equity Interests ” are Equity Interests that comprise 100% of the Equity Interests in the ROFO Entity, other than such Equity Interests held by (a) Sharyland or another regulated utility necessary under the regulatory regime of the jurisdiction(s) in which the related ROFO Project is located and (b) another third-party utility for strategic purposes, in each case as determined by Hunt in its good faith discretion.

“ Drag-Along Right ” is the right, subject to the Drag-Along Conditions, to either (a) cause all or substantially all of the T&D Assets that comprise the ROFO Project to be Transferred to a REIT Entity or (b) cause 100% of the Drag-able Equity Interests to be Transferred to a REIT Entity.

“ Drag-Along Conditions ” means the requirement that each holder of Equity Interests (other than Hunt and its Affiliates) receive cash consideration with a value equal to at least 1.5 multiplied by the amount of cash invested in such Equity Interests upon issuance and in connection with any subsequent capital contributions to the ROFO Entity.

“ Effective Date ” means the closing date of the REIT’s initial public offering of its Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Reg. No. 333-201106) and the effectiveness of the merger of InfraREIT, L.L.C. with and into the REIT.

For purposes of the definition of Footprint Projects, the distribution service territory in part (a) of the definition and the transmission assets in part (b) of the definition will be deemed to include the distribution service territory and transmission assets of any T&D Projects acquired by the REIT Entities after

the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that Hunt or an Affiliate thereof is actively developing a T&D Project in the distribution service territory of any T&D Projects or Operating T&D Assets acquired by the REIT after the date of this Agreement at the time of such acquisition (including any ROFO Project), the T&D Project being actively developed by Hunt or such Affiliate will not be characterized as a Footprint Project. For avoidance of doubt, if a REIT Entity acquires a ROFO Project or other T&D Assets, then any such acquisition will expand the definition of Footprint Project hereunder such that, after the related T&D Project is acquired by a REIT Entity, Transmission Additions to any such T&D Assets will constitute Footprint Projects.

“ Hunt Panel Member ” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.7(b) .

ARTICLE III

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 3.1 General .

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.1 , Hunt will not:

(i) Transfer or permit any ROFO Entity to Transfer a material portion of any of the T&D Assets that comprise part of a ROFO Project; or

(ii) Transfer, or permit any Hunt Affiliate to Transfer, any direct or indirect Equity Interest in a ROFO Entity; provided , however , such restriction will not apply to Transfers of Equity Interests in Hunt Affiliates that are direct or indirect owners of a ROFO Entity (“ Indirect Owners ”) unless the ROFO Entity and its assets comprise all or substantially all of the assets of such Indirect Owner (“ Restricted Indirect Owners ”);

in any case, without first complying with the requirements of this Article III .

(b) Section 3.1(a) and the ROFO will not apply to Transfers to Affiliates of Hunt (including Sharyland), nor will they affect the right of any Affiliate of Hunt (including Sharyland) to abandon a ROFO Project.

(c) Hunt will ensure that a Hunt Affiliate retains the Drag-Along Rights with respect to all ROFO Projects until such time as the ROFO Projects are, following compliance with Section 3.2 and (if applicable) Section 3.3 , Transferred to a REIT Entity or a Third Party. Furthermore, Hunt will not permit the ROFO Entity and the Restricted Indirect Owners to issue Equity Interests unless all net proceeds of such Equity Interest issuances are either (i) retained by the Restricted Indirect Owner or ROFO Entity or contributed to the ROFO Entity, or (ii) paid to a Hunt Affiliate to reimburse the Hunt Affiliate for its development expenses incurred in connection with the related ROFO Project. Subject to the restrictions set forth above in this Section 3.1(c) , nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the ROFO Entity or any other Hunt Affiliate from issuing Equity Interests.

Section 3.2 Pre-Energization Offer . Hunt shall deliver a ROFO Offer at least 90 days prior to the date on which a ROFO Project becomes an Operating T&D Asset regardless of whether Hunt intends to Transfer such ROFO Project to a Third Party.

Section 3.3 Pre-Transfer Offers . Hunt shall deliver a ROFO Offer to the REIT prior to engaging in any negotiation regarding any proposed Transfer of any ROFO Project (or any portion thereof) to any Third Party (other than, for avoidance of doubt, Hunt Affiliates), unless such negotiation occurs during an Unrestricted Period.

Section 3.4 Offer Process . Following delivery of a ROFO Offer under Section 3.2 , Section 3.3 or Section 3.6 , Hunt and the REIT shall enter into non-binding discussions and negotiate in good faith the definitive terms of the acquisition by a REIT Entity of the ROFO Project that is the subject of the ROFO Offer (or direct or indirect Equity Interests therein) for a period of 75 days from the date on which the REIT receives the ROFO Offer (the “ Negotiation Period ”). If Hunt and the REIT have not agreed in writing to definitive terms for the Transfer of the ROFO Project to a REIT Entity by the end of the Negotiation Period, then, during the 18-month period (the “ Unrestricted Period ”) from the end of the Negotiation Period, this Agreement will not impose any restrictions on the Transfer of such ROFO Project (or direct or indirect Equity Interests therein) to a Third Party, as long as such Transfer is on terms that are not more favorable to the Third Party than those offered to the REIT during the Negotiation Period. If such Transfer does not occur within the Unrestricted Period, Hunt will thereafter remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Article III with respect to such ROFO Project (and direct and indirect Equity Interests therein).

Section 3.5 Negotiations with Third Parties . Neither Hunt nor any of its representatives, agents or Affiliates shall solicit offers from, or negotiate with, any Third Party for the Transfer of any ROFO Project (or the direct or indirect Equity Interests therein) until the expiration of the Negotiation Period related to such ROFO Project. If no agreement has been reached between Hunt and the REIT during the Negotiation Period, then, during the Unrestricted Period, Hunt shall have the right to solicit offers from, negotiate with, and enter into agreements with, any Third Party to Transfer such ROFO Project, as long as such Transfer is on terms no more favorable to the Third Party than those offered to the REIT during the Negotiation Period.

Section 3.6 Structure of ROFO Projects . Hunt shall use its commercial best efforts to structure ROFO Projects so that they can be acquired by a REIT Entity prior to becoming Operating T&D Assets without jeopardizing the REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under applicable IRS rules. If, notwithstanding Hunt’s commercial best efforts, a ROFO Project is not qualified to be held by a REIT Entity prior to becoming Operating T&D Assets, the ROFO included in Section 3.3 shall continue to apply until such time as the Operating T&D Assets qualify to be held by a REIT Entity. Within 30 days of the date on which such Operating T&D Assets qualify to be held by a REIT Entity, Hunt shall deliver a ROFO Offer to the REIT.

Section 3.7 Right of First Offer to Lease ROFL Assets .

(a) During the term of this Agreement, no REIT Entity may lease to any Third Party any ROFL Assets unless such REIT Entity has first presented in writing to Sharyland the right to act as the tenant under a lease of such ROFL Assets (each, a “ Lease Offer ”). The Lease Offer shall include the material proposed lease terms, along with any other information reasonably requested by Sharyland to evaluate the Lease Offer.

(b) Upon receipt of a Lease Offer, Sharyland shall have 75 days to review such Lease Offer and take one of the following actions:

(i) accept the Lease Offer, in which case such REIT Entity and Sharyland will proceed to negotiate a final lease agreement in good faith for a period of 75 days from the date on which Sharyland receives the Lease Offer; or

(ii) reject the Lease Offer, in which case such REIT Entity may lease the subject ROFL Assets to a third party on terms that are not materially more favorable to the lessee than those offered to Sharyland in the Lease Offer;

provided , however , that if Sharyland fails to take one of the foregoing actions within such period, Sharyland will be deemed to have rejected the Lease Offer and the REIT Entity will have the right to lease the subject ROFL Assets to a third party on terms that are not materially more favorable to the lessee than those offered to Sharyland in the Lease Offer.

No more than one panel member may be with the same firm (which shall not be deemed to prohibit the panel members from being members of the same organization such as the American Arbitration Association or Judicial Arbitration and Mediations Services), and no panel member may have an economic interest in the outcome of the arbitration.

(b) The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as follows: Within five business days after the expiration of the period referenced above, Hunt shall select a panel member meeting the criteria of the above paragraph (the “ Hunt Panel Member ”) and the independent directors of the general partner of the Operating Partnership shall select its panel member meeting the criteria of the above paragraph (the “ InfraREIT Panel Member ”).

Section 4.8 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure .

(a) The Parties each acknowledge and agree that, in connection with this Agreement, a Party and its employees or agents may, directly or indirectly, receive or be provided with certain information relating to the business and operations of the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates, including information relating to the technology, clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, employees, consultants, projects, financial information and status, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, data gathering methods and/or strategies, assets, collateral and reports of the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates (“ Confidential Information ”); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information which has previously become publicly available through the actions of a person not resulting from the violation of this Section 4.8 . Each Party acknowledges that the other Party considers all such information valuable, confidential and proprietary. Therefore, each Party expressly agrees that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, court or governmental order:

(i) Such Party, and its employees and agents, will not, without the other Party’s express, written permission, use or disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party or its Affiliates other than for the purpose of performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and any use or disclosure of Confidential Information shall be limited to the specific purposes for which the permission was given or for which the use or disclosure is necessary to perform duties and obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) Such Party will take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party and its Affiliates, including, at a minimum, any such steps that the Party would take to protect its own Confidential Information; provided , however , that in no event will the Party exercise less than reasonable care to protect the Confidential Information;

(iii) Such Party agrees to advise the other Party in writing of any misappropriation or misuse by any person of such Confidential Information of which such Party may become aware; and

(iv) Such Party agrees to return the Confidential Information of the other Party and its Affiliates to the other Party at the earlier of the other Party’s request for return of the Confidential Information or the termination of this Agreement. At the option of the other Party, such Party may instead destroy the Confidential Information, with such Party providing written certification of such destruction. Such Party will not be obligated to return any of its own internally prepared documents, notes, copies or other associated materials containing any Confidential Information. However, such Party must, at the other Party’s request, collect and destroy such internally prepared documents, with such Party providing written certification of such destruction.

Each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the remedy of the other Party (the “ Non-Breaching Party ”) at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 4.8 by such Party would be inadequate. In recognition of that fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Party of the provisions of this Section, it is agreed that, in addition to its remedy at law and without posting any bond, the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable available relief. If the Non-Breaching Party establishes that a breach or a threatened breach of any provisions of this Section 4.8 has occurred by the other Party, the other Party agrees not to oppose the Non-Breaching Party’s request for equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or a temporary injunction. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Non-Breaching Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

(b) Hunt acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer and from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

Section 4.9 Cure of Invalid Provisions . If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement; provided, however, that if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision may be made legal, valid and enforceable by limitation thereof, then the provision shall be revised and reformed to make it legal, valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Section 4.10 Construction of Agreement . As used herein, the singular shall be deemed to include the plural, and the plural shall be deemed to include the singular, and all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, whenever the context and facts require such construction. The headings, captions, titles and subtitles herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise indicated herein, all section, schedule and exhibit references in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the sections, schedules and exhibits of and to this Agreement, and the terms “herein”, “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereunder” and similar terms refer to this Agreement generally rather than to the particular provision in which such term is used. Whenever the words “including”, “include” or “includes” are used in this Agreement, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words “but [is] not limited to” immediately followed the same. Time is of the essence for this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed simply according to the fair meaning thereof and not strictly against the party that drafted such language. Except as otherwise provided herein, references in this Agreement to any agreement, articles, by-laws, instrument or other document are to such agreement, articles, by-laws, instrument or other document as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 4.11 Multiple Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original hereof and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by PDF, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or PDF signature were an original thereof.

Section 9. Compensation .

(a) During the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, the Operating Partnership shall pay the Manager an annual Base Fee. The annual Base Fee shall be payable in cash in quarterly installments in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (or the first business day that follows such day, if the last day of the calendar quarter is not a business day). Within 10 days of the receipt by the Company of its audited financial statements with respect to the most recently completed fiscal year, the Manager shall deliver to the Board of Directors for informational purposes only its computation of the Base Fee (and the identification of the applicable quarterly installments in which the Base Fee will be paid by the Company) based on the amount of Total Equity reflected in such financial statements (or, in the case of Total Equity as of December 31, 2014, derived from such financial statements). If the Company does not have audited financial statements within 90 days of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, the Manager shall calculate and send to the Board of Directors its computation of Total Equity as of the end of the most recent fiscal year and the resulting Base Fee, in which case the Audit Committee shall review and approve or disapprove the calculation of the Base Fee within 10 days of receipt thereof from the Manager. If the Manager and the Audit Committee are unable to agree on the calculations during such 10 day period, the dispute will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 24 of this Agreement (however, if the audited financial statements are received before the arbitration is completed, then the calculation shall be based on such financial statements).

(b) During the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, the Operating Partnership shall pay the Manager the Incentive Fee in cash. The Incentive Fee shall be payable within five days of the actual payment of Quarterly Distributions by the Operating Partnership. In connection with its recommendation regarding the amount of the Quarterly Distribution the Operating Partnership should make in a calendar quarter, the Manager shall deliver to the Board of Directors its computation of the Incentive Fee based on the amount of such recommended Quarterly Distribution during such quarter. If the Audit Committee determines that the amount of Quarterly Distributions will be different than the amount recommended by the Manager, then the Manager will re-calculate the Incentive Fee payment based on the Audit Committee’s determination of Quarterly Distributions. In connection with approving the amount of Quarterly Distribution, the Audit Committee will also approve or disapprove the amount of the Incentive Fee. If the Audit Committee does not approve the amount of the Incentive Fee in connection with any such approval of the amount of Quarterly Distributions, the Manager may submit the determination of the amount of the Incentive Fee to arbitration pursuant to Section 24 of this Agreement.

(c) In the event that the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s financial statements with respect to any period during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term are restated, and such restatement results in a change to the calculation of Total Equity or Cash Available for Distribution that would have caused the amount of the Base Fee or Incentive Fee paid in any period or the amount of the Termination Fee to have been less than the amount actually paid, the Manager shall re-pay to the Company any such excess fee amounts it received. To the extent the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines a portion of the Base Fee, Incentive Fee or Termination Fee is recoverable from the Manager pursuant to this Section 9(c) , the Board of Directors or committee thereof may (1) require the Manager to re-pay such amount in cash directly to the Operating Partnership within 30 days of the determination that excess fees have been paid, (2) reduce future payments of the Base Fee, Incentive Fee or Termination Fee by such amounts or (3) recover such amounts through any combination of (1) and (2). This Section 9(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

If the Indemnitor is entitled to, and does, assume such defense by delivering the aforementioned notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will (i) have the right to approve the Indemnitor’s counsel (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) be obligated to cooperate in furnishing evidence and testimony and in any other manner in which the Indemnitor may reasonably request and (iii) be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense.

(d) The Operating Partnership shall be required to advance funds to a Manager Indemnified Party for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding if a claim in respect thereof is to be made pursuant hereto and if requested by such Manager Indemnified Party if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of or has been caused or alleged to have been caused in whole or in part by, any action or inaction on the part of the Manager Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Company Entities; and (ii) the Manager Indemnified Party affirms in writing that such person in good faith believes that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Section 13 and undertakes to promptly repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 13(d) in cases in which such Manager Indemnified Party would not be entitled to indemnification under Section 13(a) . If advances are required under this Section 13(d) , the Manager Indemnified Party shall furnish the Operating Partnership with an affirmation and undertaking as set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and shall thereafter have the right to bill the Operating Partnership for, or otherwise require the Operating Partnership to pay, at any time and from time to time after such Manager Indemnified Party shall become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all reasonable amounts for which such Manager Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 13 , and the Operating Partnership shall pay the same within thirty (30) days after request for payment. In the event that a determination is made by a final non-appealable decision pursuant to Section 24 or non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Operating Partnership is not so obligated in respect of any amount paid by it to a particular Manager Indemnified Party, such Manager Indemnified Party will refund such amount within sixty (60) days of such determination, and in the event that a determination is made by a final non-appealable decision pursuant to Section 24 or non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Operating Partnership is so obligated in respect to any amount not paid by the Operating Partnership to a particular Manager Indemnified Party, the Operating Partnership will pay such amount to such Manager Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of such final determination, in either case together with interest at the current prime rate plus two percent (2%) from the date paid until repaid or the date it was obligated to be paid until the date actually paid.

(e) Any Manager Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement must seek recovery under any insurance policies by which such Manager Indemnified Party is covered and must obtain the Company’s written consent prior to entering into any compromise or settlement which would result in the Operating Partnership having an obligation to indemnify such Manager Indemnified Party. Any amounts actually recovered under any applicable Company-funded insurance policies will offset any amounts that the Operating Partnership owes pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. If the

amounts for which indemnification is sought arise out of the conduct of the Company’s or the Company Entities’ business and affairs and also of any other person for which a Manager Indemnified Party was then acting in a similar capacity, the amount of the indemnification to be provided by the Operating Partnership may be limited to its proportionate share thereof if so determined by the Operating Partnership in good faith.

Section 14. Intellectual Property; License .

(a) All Intellectual Property created or developed in connection with the Manager’s performance of this Agreement or otherwise and the Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Manager. The Company and Operating Partnership (on behalf of themselves and any Subsidiary) shall assign and do hereby assign to the Manager all Intellectual Property Rights in such Intellectual Property. The Manager hereby grants the Company Entities a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty-free, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable license and right to use the Intellectual Property made in connection with the Manager’s performance of this Agreement for their business purposes. The Company and the Operating Partnership will, or will cause their Subsidiaries to, upon request of the Manager, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be requested by the Manager to carry out the intent of this Agreement or to otherwise perfect, record, confirm, or enforce the Manager’s rights in and to the Intellectual Property.

(b) The Manager hereby grants to the Company Entities a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the logo described on Exhibit A during the term of this Agreement.

Section 15. No Joint Venture . Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Company (or any Subsidiary) and the Manager partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

Section 16. Term; Termination .

(a) Until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be in effect during the Initial Term, and, subject to Section 16(b) and Section 16(c) , shall be automatically renewed for a Renewal Term upon the expiration of the Initial Term and upon the expiration of each Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the renewal of this Agreement, at least 15 months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, a Party may request changes to this Agreement or the Development Agreement to address market changes, changes in the relationship between the Parties or such other changes in circumstances that a Party determines in good faith warrant revisions to this Agreement (including, without limitation, a request that the list of ROFO Projects included in the Development Agreement be updated to include the transmission and development projects in the then-current pipeline of Hunt and its Affiliates); provided, however , that the Parties do not generally expect to change the manner in which the Base Fee, Incentive Fee or Termination Fee are calculated unless such amounts are determined to be, in consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking firm, materially less favorable to the Manager or the Company,

as the case may be, than other similar compensation arrangements for externally managed vehicles in the same or comparable industries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall negotiate any such requested changes in good faith prior to the renewal of this Agreement, but neither Party shall be obligated to agree to any such changes.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Independent Directors may elect not to renew this Agreement by delivering notice of such election to the Manager at least 365 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. In the event of such election, on the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, the Operating Partnership shall pay a termination fee (the “ Termination Fee ”) equal to three times the sum of (i) the amount of the Base Fee paid with respect to the four full calendar quarters preceding the date on which the termination notice is given and (ii) the amount of the Incentive Fee paid with respect to the four full calendar quarters preceding the date on which the termination notice is given. At the Company’s election, the Termination Fee may be paid in cash or in OP Units (in whole or in part). If the Company elects to pay the Termination Fee in OP Units, such OP Units will be issued five days after the effective date of termination, with the number of OP Units equal to the Termination Fee divided by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other national exchange on which the Company’s stock is then traded) during the 10 trading day period that precedes the termination date. If the Company’s common stock is not then traded on the New York Stock Exchange or other national exchange, the Company will pay the Termination Fee in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee applies to terminations of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 16(b) only and is not required to be paid in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof or for any other reason.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Manager may terminate this Agreement at any time upon 365 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Operating Partnership; provided, however , that the Manager may not deliver notice of its termination of this Agreement prior to December 31, 2018. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 16(c) , no Termination Fee shall be payable.

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Manager shall: (i) immediately pay over to the Company Entities any and all monies collected and held by the Manager for the account or on behalf of the Company Entities, without deduction or offset; (ii) promptly turn over to the Company Entities all books, papers, leases, agreements, documents, records, keys and other items relating to the management and operation of the Assets; and (iii) within thirty (30) days thereafter, render to the Company Entities a final accounting with respect to the management and operation of the Assets through the date of termination. In connection with any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Manager shall, prior to and following such expiration or termination, cooperate with the Company Entities and provide reasonable assistance to support a transition of the management duties to the Company Entities or the Company’s designee.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 16 or Section 18 of this Agreement, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except that Sections 7 , 9(c) , 10 , 11(b) , 12(c) , 13 , and 19 through 28 will survive any such termination.

Section 17. Assignment . This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, in whole or in part, by the Manager, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Company after the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors; provided, however, that the Manager may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of Hunt without the consent of the Company. Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Manager is bound, and the Manager shall be liable to the Company and the Operating Partnership for all errors or omissions of the assignee under any such assignment. In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Operating Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as Manager. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by the Company or Operating Partnership to another REIT or other organization which is a successor (by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, or other transaction) to the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the Company and Operating Partnership are bound under this Agreement.

Section 18. Termination for Cause . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 16 , the Company, with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, may terminate this Agreement effective upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination (or, with respect to clauses (iv) through (vii) below, effective immediately upon written notice of termination) from the Company to the Manager, without payment of any Termination Fee or any accrued and unpaid Base Fee or Incentive Fee, if (i) the Manager materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and, if such breach is capable of being cured, such breach shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30-day period, (ii) the Manager engages in any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, or embezzlement against any Company Entity, other than an immaterial misapplication of funds that is promptly corrected, (iii) there is an event of any bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Manager in the performance of its duties under this Agreement that results in material harm to any Company Entity, (iv) there is a commencement of any voluntary proceeding relating to the Manager’s Bankruptcy or insolvency or an order for relief in an involuntary Bankruptcy case, (v) there is a dissolution of the Manager, (vi) the Manager is convicted of a felony (including a plea of nolo contendere ) or (vii) there is a Manager Change of Control (provided that, in the case of (vii), any termination under this Section 18 must occur within 90 days after the date the Independent Directors receive written notice from the Manager of such Manager Change of Control, which Manager agrees to provide promptly). For purposes of this Agreement, “ Manager Change of Control ” shall be deemed to have occurred if members of the Hunt Group cease to both (1) own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Equity Interests in Manager or its successor hereunder and (2) Control Manager or its successor hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement: (A) “ Control ” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and (B)

“ Hunt Group ” means (a) Ray L. Hunt and Hunter L. Hunt; (b) any lineal descendent of the foregoing (including by adoption); (c) any spouse of the foregoing; (d) any trust established primarily for the benefit of any one or more of the foregoing; and (e) any entity controlled, individually or collectively, by any of the foregoing Persons identified in the preceding clauses (a) through (d) (including Hunt and its Subsidiaries).

Section 19. Action Upon Termination . From and after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, pursuant to Sections 16 or 18 of this Agreement, the Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for further services under this Agreement, but shall be paid (i) if terminated pursuant to Section 16 , all compensation accruing to the date of termination, (ii) if terminated pursuant to Section 16(b) , the applicable Termination Fee, and (iii) as provided in Section 10 and Section 11 .

Section 20. Notices . All notices, offers or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and may be personally served, sent via facsimile, sent via electronic mail or sent by United States mail or by commercial courier and shall be deemed to have been given when received at the address set forth below:

In the event (a) of an underwritten offering covered by the Shelf Registration following the delivery of an Underwriting Notice or (b) the Company intends to issue shares of beneficial interest to the public in an underwritten offering after the Closing, each Holder agrees, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters for such underwritten offering, not to effect any Transfer of Registrable Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, except with the consent of the managing underwriter or underwriters, during the period reasonably required by the underwriter or underwriters for such offering, which shall not be longer than the period beginning ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such underwritten offering and ending on the day that is ninety (90) days after the consummation of such underwritten offering; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not

apply with respect to any non-public Transfer by any Holder to a Permitted Transferee of such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.4 shall not be applicable to or otherwise be binding on any Holder unless it is applicable to and otherwise binding on all Holders who hold at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s Common Shares and the Company causes all of its executive officers and directors to be similarly bound.

Section 3.5 Piggy-Back Registration.

(a) If at any time on or after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than (i) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes, or (ii) a registration statement with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or any successor rule promulgated for similar purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account (including, without limitation, any registration effected pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof), in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, each Holder shall have the right to include in such registration all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (the “ Piggyback Registration Right ”). At such time, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to register Common Shares.

(b) Any Holder wishing to exercise its Piggyback Registration Right shall deliver to the Company a written notice within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Such Holder’s written notice shall specify the number of Common Shares intended to be disposed of by such Holder, which might be all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. The Company will, subject to Sections 3.5(c) and (f) below, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (x) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company (including entering into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering by the Company), as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings.

(c) If a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.5 involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing at least one (1) day prior to the first use of a preliminary prospectus in connection with such registration, not to register such securities in connection with such registration.

(d) All Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in any registration shall cooperate with the Company in all reasonable respects by supplying information and executing documents relating to such Holder or the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder in connection with such registration and shall enter into such undertakings and take such other action relating to a proposed offering which the Company or the underwriters may reasonably request as being necessary to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws and the rules or other requirements of a securities exchange listing or otherwise to effectuate an offering.

(e) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.5 . All Selling Expenses applicable to Registrable Securities sold by Holders incurred in connection with each registration pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Securities so registered pro rata based on the number of securities so registered.

(f) If a registration pursuant to this Section 3.5 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities to be underwritten, the number of securities that may be included will be limited to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such underwriter, should be included, and the securities to be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company and, second, pro rata to all other requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities then requested to be sold by each such Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

Section 3.6 Indemnification . In the event Common Shares are sold by Holders pursuant to the Offering or any Registrable Securities are included in a Shelf Registration under Section 3.1 or in a registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5:

(a) Indemnity by the Company . Without limitation of any other indemnity provided to any Holder, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the Affiliates, officers, directors and partners of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law, as and when incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “ Violation ”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement (including any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) related thereto), (ii) the omission or alleged

omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any other violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, Affiliate, officer, director, partner, underwriter or controlling person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided , however , that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in the Offering registration statement or the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus by any such Holder or any officer, director, partner or controlling person thereof or (B) by such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Offering registration statement or the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same.

(b) Indemnity by Holders . In connection with any registration in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5 and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any Violation, but only to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5 or by virtue of such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5 or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several and not joint and several with any other Person and will be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5.

(c) Notice; Right to Defend . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.6 , deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, if the indemnifying party agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and losses incurred by the indemnified party with respect to such claim, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties and the indemnified party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense;

provided , however , that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party reasonably believes that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, provided that the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the indemnified parties. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 3.6 only if and to the extent that such failure is materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 3.6 .

(d) Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any Holder shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.6(d) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or registration statement pursuant to Section 3.5 that gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

(e) Survival of Indemnity and Contribution . The indemnification and contribution provided by this Section 3.6 shall be a continuing right to indemnification and contribution and shall survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to indemnification and contribution hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.7 Rule 144; Reports under Exchange Act . From and after the time of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 3.1(a) , in order to permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities they hold, if they so desire, from time to time pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission or any successor to such rule or any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration (the “ Resale Rules ”), the Company will:

(a) comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable in connection with use of the Resale Rules;

(b) make and keep adequate and current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in the Resale Rules, at all times;

(c) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as required by the Resale Rules;

(d) furnish annually to all Holders material containing the information required by Rule 14a-3(b) under the Exchange Act and Items 401, 402 and 403 of Regulation S-K of the Commission;

(e) furnish to any Holder so long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Resale Rules, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and any other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities to the public without registration; and

(f) take any action (including cooperating with the Holder to cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends on such securities) as shall be reasonably requested by any Holder or which shall otherwise facilitate the sale of Registrable Securities from time to time by the Holders pursuant to the Resale Rules.

AGREEMENT

1. Restrictions . Hunt hereby agrees that, for the period described in Section 2 (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company (which the parties acknowledge will require the approval of at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors not affiliated with Hunt), directly or indirectly: (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (A) any IPO Date Equity or (B) any Post-Reorganization Equity owned by Hunt as of the consummation of the Post-IPO Reorganization (collectively, the “ Lock-Up Securities ”), or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude Hunt from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of Hunt’s Lock-Up Securities even if such Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than Hunt. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of Hunt’s Lock-Up Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in this Section 1 shall not apply to (a) the IPO Date Transactions, (b) the Post-IPO Reorganization or (c) Hunt’s redemption of units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“ OP Units ”) for cash (or, at the election of the Company, shares of Common Stock) in accordance with the terms of the OP Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Lock-Up Securities shall not include any OP Units or shares of Common Stock acquired by Hunt after the date hereof (other than as a result of the IPO Date Transactions, the Post-IPO Reorganization or the redemption of OP Units held by Hunt as of the consummation of the Post-IPO Reorganization).

2. Lock-Up Period . For the purposes of this Agreement, the Lock-Up Period shall mean: (i) with respect to 100% of the Lock-Up Securities, the period beginning on the date hereof and ending one year after the Closing Date; (ii) with respect to 80% of the Post-Reorganization Equity, the period beginning on the date hereof and ending three years after the Closing Date and (iii) with respect to 50% of the Post-Reorganization Equity, the period beginning on the date hereof and ending five years after the Closing Date. The period beginning

on the date hereof and ending one year after the Closing Date shall hereinafter be referred to as the “ One-Year Lock-Up Period .” For the avoidance of doubt, Hunt’s redemption of OP Units for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the OP Agreement shall not affect the timing of the commencement or the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

3. Permitted Transfers . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hunt may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Company:

to current or former employees or service providers of Hunt who are not Hunt Group Members (as defined in the OP Agreement); provided that (x) the total number of shares or OP Units transferred to such employees or service providers does not exceed 20% of the Post-Reorganization Equity and (y) any such transferee agrees to the One Year Lock-Up Period; and

to Hunt Group Members; provided that such Hunt Group Member executes a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as Hunt.

4. Employees and Officers . Hunt shall take reasonable steps to ensure that, during the One Year Lock-Up Period, employees and officers of either Hunt or its affiliates (other than employees who hold, in the aggregate, less than 50,000 shares Common Stock, after giving effect to the Post-IPO Reorganization) may not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly: (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the equity in the Company or the Operating Partnership held at the Closing Date, received in connection with the Offering or received from Hunt pursuant to Section 3, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in cash or otherwise, other than transfers upon death or incapacity of the employee or officer or transfers for estate planning purposes to trusts or other vehicles, as long as, in each case, the transferee agrees to the One Year Lock-Up Period.

5. Effectiveness and Termination . This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date. This Agreement shall terminate, and Hunt shall be released from its obligations hereunder, upon the termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Hunt Utility Services, LLC (“ Hunt-Manager ”), the Operating Partnership and the Company, other than a termination by Hunt-Manager pursuant to Section 16(c) of such Management Agreement or a termination for cause pursuant to Section 18 thereof.

If any assets of the Company are distributed among the Members in kind, such assets shall be valued on the basis of the fair market value thereof on the date of the distribution, and each distributee shall receive such distribution in kind in lieu of distributions of cash. The fair market value of such assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser Approved by the Members.

Section 4.5 Tax Distributions . Unless otherwise Approved by the TDC Member, the Sharyland Member shall cause the Company to distribute from its funds to each Member with respect to each Taxable Year (within 60 days after the close of such Taxable Year, or on a quarterly or more frequent basis) an amount of cash equal to the taxable income of the Company allocated to such Member with respect to such Taxable Year. Any distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be treated as an advance distribution under the appropriate provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3 that resulted in the allocation of income pursuant to Section 4.1 to which such distribution relates.

Section 4.6 Special Allocation Rules . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 or any other provisions of this Section 4.6 or Section 4.7 , if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.

The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 4.6(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this Section 4.6(a) only, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement with respect to such Fiscal Year.

(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 4.1 of this Agreement or any other provisions of this Section 4.6 or Section 4.7 (except Section 4.6(a) hereof), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Sharyland Member and TDC Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 4.6(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.6(b) , each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Article IV with respect to such Fiscal Year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 4.6(b) hereof.

(c) Qualified Income Offset . In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704- l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 4.6(a) and 4.6(b) hereof with respect to such Fiscal Year, such Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain for the Fiscal Year) shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 4.6(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Gross Income Allocation . In the event that any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year (after taking into account allocations to be made under the preceding paragraphs hereof with respect to such Fiscal Year), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain for the Fiscal Year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions . Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Interests. If the Sharyland Member determines in its good faith discretion that the Company’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Sharyland Member is authorized, upon notice to the TDC Member, to revise the prescribed ratio for such Fiscal Year to the numerically closest ratio which would satisfy such requirements.

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions . Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).

(g) Code Section 754 Adjustments . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

(h) Curative Allocations . The allocations set forth in this Section 4.6 (the “ Regulatory Allocations ”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Sharyland Member is authorized to make offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it deems appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 .

Section 4.7 Allocations for Tax Purposes .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.7 , for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.6 hereof.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows:

(i) (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Members consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the variation between the 704(c) Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution (taking into account Section 4.7(c) ); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.6 hereof.

(ii) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall:

(A) first, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 3.4 ;

(B) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with Section 4.7(b)(i) ; and

(iii) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.6 hereof.

(iv) all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as their correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.6 hereof.

(c) To the extent Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code permit the Company to utilize alternative methods to eliminate the disparities between the Carrying Value of property and its adjusted basis, the Sharyland Member shall, subject to the following, have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Company and such election shall be binding on all Members; provided that, to the extent that the Sharyland Member has agreed to use a particular method with respect to a Contributed Property, the Sharyland Member shall be bound by such agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

Further, the Sharyland Member may in its reasonable discretion contract with third-party service providers to perform any of the services it is obligated to provide to the Company under this Agreement.

(A) Each officer of the Company shall be a natural person. An officer need not be a resident of the State of Texas, a Member or an employee of the Company.

(B) The officers of the Company, if any, shall have such powers and authority, subject to the direction and control of the Sharyland Member and shall perform such duties in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Company as are provided in this Company Agreement, or as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Sharyland Member. In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each officer shall have such powers and authority as would be incident to his or her office if he or she served as a comparable officer of a Texas corporation.

(D) Any vacancy occurring in an office may be filled by the Sharyland Member.

(E) Any officer of the Company may be removed by the Sharyland Member whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the officer so removed.

In general, the President shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Sharyland Member.

(G) Vice Presidents . Each Vice President, if there be any, shall report to the President.

Any Vice President may be designated by the Sharyland Member as an Executive Vice President.

(H) Secretary . It shall be the duty of the Secretary to attend all meetings of the Company and to record correctly the proceedings of such meetings and record all votes in a book suitable for such purposes. The Secretary shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings of the Company. It shall also be the duty of the Secretary to keep a register in which all transactions pertaining to the Membership Interests shall be correctly recorded. The Secretary shall also perform, under the direction and subject to the control of the Sharyland Member and the President, such other duties as may be assigned to him or her from time to time.

(I) Treasurer . The Treasurer shall have the care and custody of all the funds and securities of the Company that may come into his or her hands as Treasurer.

The Treasurer shall also perform, under the direction and subject to the control of the Sharyland Member and the President, such other duties as may be assigned to him or her from time to time.

(J) Delegation of Authority . In the case of any absence of any officer of the Company or for any other reason that the Sharyland Member may deem sufficient, the Sharyland Member may delegate some or all of the powers or duties of such officer to any other officer for whatever period of time the Sharyland Member deems appropriate.

(K) No Initial Officers . There shall be no officers until such time as the Sharyland Member elects such officers as provided in this Section 5.1(a)(iii) .

(b) The Sharyland Member shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the availability of cash funds of the Company, use reasonable efforts to implement the then applicable Approved Annual Business Plan, and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall have all right, power and authority to do so.

(c) In exercising its authority under this Section 5.1 , the Sharyland Member shall have the power and authority to act alone, and in the name and on behalf of the Company, including the power to execute for and on behalf of the Company any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to carry on the business of the Company, in connection with the affairs of the Company, except to the extent that (i) the prior Approval of the TDC Member

is required pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to those described in Section 5.2 hereof, or (ii) any such action is otherwise prohibited, restricted or limited under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the Sharyland Member may exercise only such authority for which Approval has been given by the TDC Member or which is expressly permitted under this Agreement. Any third party conducting business with the Company shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the Sharyland Member to conduct Company business solely by the execution of any documents or instruments by the Sharyland Member, and such third party shall not be required to determine the authority of the Sharyland Member under this Agreement or to otherwise determine any fact or circumstance bearing upon the existence of the Sharyland Member’s authority to obligate or bind the Company or any fact relating to the Approved Annual Business Plan.

(d) InfraREIT has elected or expects to elect to be treated as a REIT. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, InfraREIT will be required to comply with numerous and complex rules and regulations set forth in the Code and the Regulations, many of which are applied on a quarterly and/or annual basis (the “ REIT Requirements ”), and the management and operation of the Company by the Sharyland Member will have a material effect on the ability of InfraREIT to continue to maintain its status as a REIT. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, the Sharyland Member shall not permit the Company to take any action which (or omit to take any action, the omission of which) would result in (A) less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the assets of the Company at the close of any calendar quarter qualifying as “real estate assets” under Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code, (B) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the assets of the Company at the close of any calendar quarter to consist of assets described in Section 856(c)(4)(B) of the Code, (C) any of the assets of the Company at the close of any calendar quarter to violate or exceed the limitations described in Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code, (D) less than 75% of the gross income of the Company in any calendar year qualifying as income described in Section 856(c)(3) of the Code and less than 95% of gross income in any calendar year qualifying as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, (E) any portion of the gross revenues or net income of the Company in any calendar year constituting income from a “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code, or (F) any material amount of the Company’s assets to be property described in Section 1221(a)(l) of the Code (other than “foreclosure property” as defined in Section 856(e) of the Code), (clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) are collectively referred to herein as the “ REIT Restriction Covenants ”).

The foregoing provisions are intended to ensure that the assets, income and operations of the Company are such that they will satisfy the various provisions of the Code that restrict the assets, income and operations of REITs and thereby ensure that the REIT status of InfraREIT will not be jeopardized by its direct or indirect ownership of an interest in the Company. In the event that any additional restrictions on the assets, income or operations of REITs are imposed by any new provisions of the Code or Regulations, any amendments to the Code or Regulations or by any judicial precedent or any notice, ruling or release of the U.S. Treasury Department or the IRS, then upon written advice of InfraREIT’s counsel, the Sharyland Member shall agree to amend the provisions of this Section 5.1(d) as required to ensure that the assets, income or operations of the Company will not jeopardize the REIT status of InfraREIT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any expenses related to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) or to maintain compliance by the Company with the REIT Requirements or the REIT Restriction Covenants or to continue InfraREIT’s maintenance of its REIT status shall be borne solely by InfraREIT.

Section 5.2 Restrictions on Sharyland Member .

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including without limitation Section 5.1 , except to the extent required by Applicable Laws, the Sharyland Member shall have no authority to do or permit any of the following acts on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiary entities without the Approval of the TDC Member (it being recognized that the Approval for any particular act may be contemplated by an Approved Annual Business Plan):

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Liability of the Covered Persons . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Covered Person shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, or any other Member for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission unless such Covered Person acted in bad faith and the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the loss, liability or benefit not derived.

Section 7.2 Indemnification .

(a) The Company shall indemnify each Covered Person to the fullest extent provided by the Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from or in connection with any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, incurred by such Covered Person and relating to the Company or a Member or the operation of, or the ownership of property by, the Company or such Member as set forth in this Agreement in which any such Covered Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) the act or omission of such Covered Person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) such Covered Person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, such Covered Person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Covered Person, pursuant to a loan guarantee, contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other obligation or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Sharyland Member is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.2 in favor of any Covered Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Covered Person did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.2.(a) . The termination of any

proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Covered Person acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.2 with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering a Member and any Covered Person, and neither the Sharyland Member nor any TDC Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 7.2 .

(b) Reasonable expenses paid or expected to be incurred by a Covered Person shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company 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 a Covered Person upon receipt by the Company of (i) a written affirmation by the Covered Person of the Covered Person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in this Section 7.2 has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Covered Person is indemnified.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Sharyland Member shall determine against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) In no event may a Covered Person subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(f) A Covered Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.2 because the Covered Person 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.

(g) The provisions of this Section 7.2 are for the benefit of the Covered Persons, their employees, officers, directors, trustees, partners, members, heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.2 , or any provision hereof, shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitation on the Company’s liability to any Covered Person under this Section 7.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or related 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.

(h) If and to the extent any payments to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.2 constitute gross income to such Member (as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Company and all Members, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

ARTICLE VIII.

COMPANY OPERATIONS

Section 8.1 Annual Business Plan; Capital Expenditures Budget .

(a) No later than November 15th of each Fiscal Year, the Sharyland Member shall prepare and submit to the TDC Member for its Approval a proposed Annual Business Plan for the next Fiscal Year (each, an “ Annual Business Plan ”). The parties agree that any annual business plan of InfraREIT that includes forecasted expenditures for the Company may be deemed an Annual Business Plan hereunder. The Annual Business Plan shall, as a separate line item, specify (without limitation) (i) each category of the operating expenses of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, and (ii) the Capital Expenditure Budget. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 5.2(a)(xi) , Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) , no increases from any category of operating expenses or capital expenditure item in an Approved Annual Business Plan shall be made (and no expenditures shall be made for any such increased amounts therein) without the prior Approval of the TDC Member. With respect to the portion of the Annual Business Plan that is comprised of the Capital Expenditure Budget, the Sharyland Member has provided to the TDC Member the approximate amounts of capital expenditures that the Sharyland Member expects will be needed for purposes of funding Footprint Projects in each Fiscal Year through 2016. No later than October 15th of each calendar year, the Sharyland Member shall review and revise the Capital Expenditure Budget on a rolling three-year basis, taking into account any changed circumstances that (i) make it no longer feasible to incur one or more of the costs reflected on the prevailing Capital Expenditure Budget, (ii) make it necessary to amend the nature or amounts reflected for a particular Footprint Project or (iii) dictate that additional Footprint Projects be added (such budget, as so updated and revised, is referred to herein as the “ Capital Expenditure Budget ”) and shall submit the Capital Expenditure Budget to the TDC Member for its Approval. The parties envision that the Capital Expenditure Budgets will be the aggregate of all capital expenditures included in CapEx Budgets (as such term is defined in the Lease Agreements) delivered pursuant to the Lease Agreements.

(b) As soon as practicable after any proposed Annual Business Plan is submitted to the TDC Member but no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt by the TDC Member, the TDC Member shall Approve or disapprove such proposed Annual Business Plan. If the proposed Annual Business Plan is Approved by the TDC Member, then such proposed Annual Business Plan shall be deemed thereafter to constitute the Approved Annual Business Plan for the Fiscal Year in question for all purposes hereof, subject to amendment from time to time. If the TDC Member does not Approve the proposed Annual Business Plan, it shall notify the Sharyland Member of its reason(s) for not granting such Approval. The Members shall use their best efforts to resolve any questions with respect to revisions to the proposed Annual Business Plan and to agree upon an Annual Business Plan for the Fiscal Year in question prior to

the beginning of the Fiscal Year to which such Annual Business Plan relates. In the event an Annual Business Plan for any Fiscal Year is not Approved by the TDC Member prior to the commencement thereof, the Sharyland Member shall continue to manage, maintain, supervise and direct the Company in accordance with the applicable Approved Annual Business Plan for the previous Fiscal Year dealing solely with maintaining and preserving the assets of the Company in accordance with reasonable, prudent and consistent Good Utility Practices, such as the payment of taxes, insurance, debt service and other expenses necessary to maintain the essential day-to-day operations of the assets of the Company until a new Annual Business Plan is Approved by the TDC Member; provided, however, the Sharyland Member shall be authorized during any interim period to reasonably exceed the budgeted amounts for taxes, insurance, debt service and other costs if the cost of such items has increased above the amounts budgeted therefor for the prior Fiscal Year and such payments are required to preserve the value of the assets.

(c) The Sharyland Member shall have the right from time to time during each Fiscal Year to prepare and submit to the TDC Member for its Approval proposed amendments to the Approved Annual Business Plan for such Fiscal Year. The TDC Member shall, within ten (10) days, Approve, disapprove or make such revision thereto as the TDC Member may deem necessary and proper, which Approval may be withheld by the TDC Member in its sole discretion. The TDC Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide some form of response within such ten (10) day period, but a failure of the TDC Member to respond within such ten (10) day period shall constitute disapproval of such amendment. Once Approved by the TDC Member, or so revised by the TDC Member and Approved by the Sharyland Member, such amendments shall be incorporated into and become part of the Approved Annual Business Plan for the Fiscal Year in question. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, amendments or modifications of the Approved Annual Business Plan which reflect changes as a result of an increase in Working Capital Reserve for Required Footprint Projects shall be submitted to the TDC Member but shall not require the Approval of the TDC Member.

(d) Any modifications made to an Annual Business Plan at the request of the TDC Member after submission by the Sharyland Member must also be Approved by the Sharyland Member before the Annual Business Plan is Approved by the Members. It is possible that an Annual Business Plan, or an amendment thereto, may be partially Approved and partially disapproved, in which event, the Sharyland Member shall proceed to conduct business on the basis of the Annual Business Plan to the extent that it is so Approved.

(e) The TDC Member agrees that a Capital Expenditure Budget may contain Footprint Project(s) that require multi-year commitments of funds, capital or credit enhancement. If the TDC Member Approves a multi-year commitment of funds, capital or credit enhancement for such Footprint Projects, the Sharyland Member shall not be required to obtain the re-Approval of the TDC Member for such expenditures or commitments in subsequent years, and such commitments and expenditures shall remain Approved by the TDC Member for purposes of this Agreement whether or not the TDC Member Approves subsequent Annual Business Plans and/or Capital Expenditure Budgets proposed by the Sharyland Member provided that, other than as contemplated by Section 5.2(a)(xi) , Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) , any increase in expenditures or commitments for such Footprint Projects does not exceed 105% of the amounts set forth in the then current Approved Annual Business Plan for the year in question and there

has been no material increase in time for completion of such Footprint Projects in the current schedule compared to the schedule previously Approved by the TDC Member. Any Footprint Projects with a multi-year commitment must be so designated in the applicable Capital Expenditure Budget and must be the type of Footprint Projects that in the ordinary course of business would be conducted on an extended or multi-year basis as opposed to an annual basis to qualify for the special continuation of funding or commitment without re-Approval provisions of this Section 8.1(e) . Continuing Approval of multi-year projects is conditioned upon the cost of the applicable Footprint Project being within 105% of the amounts set forth in the then current Approved Annual Business Plan with no material increase in time for completion in the current schedule compared to the schedule presented when the Footprint Project was previously Approved by the TDC Member. If the Footprint Project budget is in excess of 105% of the amounts set forth in the then current Approved Annual Business Plan or there has been a material increase in the time for completion compared to the schedule previously Approved by the TDC Member, then the increase in the cost of the Footprint Project must be again presented to the TDC Member for Approval with such revised budgets and project schedules as the Sharyland Member shall reasonably determine.

Section 8.2 Insurance . Insurance with respect to the affairs, activities, operations, business, Footprint Projects and other assets of the Company shall be maintained as reasonably required for ownership and prudent operation of electric transmission and distribution facilities as determined by the Sharyland Member from time to time, or any specific provision of an Approved Annual Business Plan.

The Company shall prepare or cause the Accountants to prepare, such additional information as may be necessary or desirable for an entity subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, the Sharyland Member, at the expense of the Company, will cause supplemental schedules to the audit report to be included for items or information, such as an audit of Available Cash, as the TDC Member may request. If the additional information requested by the TDC Member cannot be adequately presented as part of the audit report, the Sharyland Member, at the expense of the Company, will engage the Accountants to perform additional attestation services sufficient to comply with the TDC Member’s request.

Section 9.4 Exchange Act Reporting . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 , the Company shall prepare or cause the Accountants to prepare, such additional information relating to the Company, its assets and operations as may be necessary or desirable in order to allow InfraREIT to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws or exchange listing requirements.

At the Company’s expense, all signatories on Company bank accounts shall be bonded in an amount and by a fidelity insurance carrier Approved by the TDC Member in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Sharyland Member shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code; provided, however, that the Sharyland Member shall make the election under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable regulations thereunder. The Sharyland Member shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the Code) upon the Sharyland Member’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Members.

Section 10.3 Tax Matters Member .

(a) General . The Sharyland Member shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company for federal income tax purposes as defined in Section 6231 of the Code (the “ Tax Matters Member ”).

(b) Powers . The Tax Matters Member is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Company items required to be taken into account by a Member for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the Tax Matters Member may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Members, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Member (A) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the Tax Matters Member shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Member or (B) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);

(ii) if a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Company level of any item required to be taken into account by a Member for tax purposes (a “ Final Adjustment ”) is mailed to the Tax Matters Member, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the filing of a complaint for refund with the United States Claims Court or the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Company’s principal place of business is located;

(iii) to intervene in any action brought by any other Member for judicial review of a Final Adjustment;

(c) Reimbursement . The Tax Matters Member shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company from engaging an accounting firm and/or law firm to assist the Tax Matters Member in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Company for such services is reasonable.

Section 10.4 Organizational Expenses . The Company shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Company ratably over a one hundred eighty (180) month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

Section 10.5 Withholding .

Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Sharyland Member that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Member or (ii) the Sharyland Member determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of

the available funds of the Company which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in its Interest to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5 . If a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, the Sharyland Member may, in its’ sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Company on behalf of such defaulting Member, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Member (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points per annum (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate under the laws of the State of Texas) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Sharyland Member shall request to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

Section 10.6 Code Section 83 Safe Harbor Election . By executing this Agreement, each Member authorizes and directs the Company to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “ Notice ”) apply to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the Company. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the Tax Matters Member is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the Tax Matters Member constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the Notice. The Company and each Member hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice, including, without limitation, the requirement that each Member shall prepare and file all federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each “Safe Harbor Partnership Interest”) (as described in Section 3.02 of the Notice) issued by the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Notice. Each Member authorizes the Tax Matters Member to amend this Section 10.6 to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company as set forth in Section 4 of the Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance), provided that such amendment is not materially adverse to any Member (as compared with the after-tax consequences that would result if the provisions of the Notice applied to all interests in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company).

ARTICLE XIII.

TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

Section 13.1 Events of Winding Up . The Company shall commence to wind up upon the first to occur of the following events:

(a) the sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, taking by eminent domain) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (subject to any required Regulatory Approvals) unless such sale or other disposition involves any deferred payment of the consideration for such sale or disposition, in which case the Company shall not commence to wind up until the last day of the calendar year during which the Company shall receive the balance of such deferred payment;

(b) the agreement of the Members in writing to wind up the Company;

(c) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Sharyland Member, unless within ninety (90) days after such Event of Bankruptcy the TDC Member consents in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment effective as of the date of such Event of Bankruptcy, of a substitute Sharyland Member;

(d) the issuance of a decree of winding up by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

(e) the occurrence of any other event or action which requires winding up of the Company under Applicable Laws.

Section 13.2 Effect of Winding Up . Upon an event requiring winding up of the Company pursuant to Section 13.1 , the Company shall not terminate but shall continue for the purposes (i) of obtaining any necessary Regulatory Approvals required as result of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 13.1 ; (ii) as may be required by any Regulatory Agency; and (iii) of distributing or liquidating all of the assets owned by the Company and, if liquidating, collecting the proceeds from such sales and all receivables of the Company until the same has been written off as uncollectible. Upon an event requiring winding up of the Company, the Company shall continue to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with reasonable and prudent Good Utility Practices, until such time as all necessary Regulatory Approvals relating to the liquidation of the Company have been obtained, but otherwise engage in no further business thereafter other than as necessary for the Company to collect its receivables, liquidate and/or distribute its assets and pay or discharge its liabilities. The liquidating distribution of assets, whether in cash or in kind as hereinafter provided, shall occur in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof. It is intended that the foregoing distributions to each Member will be equal to each Member’s respective positive Capital Account balance as determined after giving effect to all adjustments attributable to allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction realized by the Company during the Fiscal Year in question (including items of gain and loss realized on the sale of all properties and assets of the Company pursuant to this Section 13.2 and all adjustments attributable to contributions and distributions of money and property effected prior to such distribution) as described in Section 4.1 . To the extent that any such Member’s positive Capital Account balance does not correspond to such distribution, the allocations provided for in Section 4.1 shall be adjusted, to the least extent necessary, to produce a Capital Account balance for the Member which corresponds to the amount of such distribution.

Section 13.3 Sale or Distribution of Assets Resulting from Liquidation .

(a) Unless the Company is continued pursuant to Section 13.1(c) , upon an event requiring winding up of the Company, the Sharyland Member or, if the winding up is caused by an Event of Bankruptcy of the Sharyland Member, a third party appointed by the TDC Member, shall act as liquidator trustee (the “ Liquidating Trustee ”) of the Company and shall diligently proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company in accordance with a plan of liquidation approved by the Members, or, in the case of winding up of the Company caused by an Event of Bankruptcy, by the TDC Member. Such plan of liquidation shall provide that the Company shall continue to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with reasonable and prudent Good Utility Practices, until such time as all necessary Regulatory Approvals relating to the liquidation of the Company have been obtained. Another Person may be selected by a majority vote of the Interests to succeed the original Liquidating Trustee, or to succeed any subsequently selected successor, whenever the Person originally selected or any such subsequently selected successor, as the case may be, fails for any reason to carry out such purpose. The Liquidating Trustee may be an individual, corporation or general or limited partnership or other Entity.

(b) The Liquidating Trustee shall promptly after an event requiring winding up obtain an appraisal of the assets of the Company by an appraiser with appropriate experience in valuing the types of assets and properties then owned by the Company as selected by the Liquidating Trustee. All of the assets of the Company remaining after any required distributions of such assets in kind as Approved by Members under the terms of this Agreement, other than cash, shall be offered (either as an entirety or on an asset-by-asset basis) promptly for sale, upon such terms as the Liquidating Trustee shall determine using the foregoing appraisal as a guide.

(c) The Members and their Affiliates shall have the right to negotiate or bid for any or all of the remaining assets being offered for sale from and after the date of an event requiring winding up of the Company, but not before such date.

(d) The decision to accept or reject an offer to purchase any remaining assets of the Company (a “ Purchase Offer ”) shall be made solely by the Liquidating Trustee; provided that, if the Sharyland Member is the Liquidating Trustee and proposes to sell such remaining assets to itself or an Affiliate, the terms of such sale must be Approved by the TDC Member.

(e) In winding up the affairs of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall pay the liabilities of the Company in such order of priority as provided by law.

ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure .

(a) The Parties each acknowledge and agree that, in connection with this Agreement, a Party and its employees or agents may, directly or indirectly, receive or be provided with certain information relating to the business and operations of the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates, including information relating to the technology, clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, employees, consultants, projects, financial information and status, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, data gathering methods and/or strategies, assets, collateral and reports of the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates (“ Confidential Information ”). Each Party acknowledges that the other Party considers all such information valuable, confidential and proprietary. Therefore, each Party expressly agrees that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, court or governmental order:

(iii) Such Party agrees to advise the other Party in writing of any misappropriation or misuse by any person of such Confidential Information of which such Party may become aware; and

(b) Each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the remedy of the other Party (the “ Non-Breaching Party ”) at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 9.1 by such Party would be inadequate. In recognition of that fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Party of the provisions of this Section, it is agreed that, in addition to its remedy at law and without posting any bond, the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable available relief. If the Non-Breaching Party establishes that a breach or a threatened breach of any provisions of this Section 9.1 has occurred by the other Party, the other Party agrees not to oppose the Non-Breaching Party’s request for equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or a temporary injunction. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Non-Breaching Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

9.2 Assignment . This Agreement is not assignable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and may be freely assignable by either Party to such Party’s Affiliates. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.

9.3 Not for Benefit of Third Parties . This Agreement and each and every provision hereof are for the exclusive benefit of the Parties that executed this Agreement and not for the benefit of any third party.

9.4 Amendments . No amendments or modifications of this Agreement are valid unless evidenced in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.

9.6 No Waiver . A waiver of a provision or of a right arising under this Agreement may only be given in writing by the Party granting the waiver. A waiver is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. A single or partial exercise of a right by a Party does not preclude another or further exercise or attempted exercise of that right or the exercise of another right. Failure by a Party to exercise or delay in exercising a right does not prevent its exercise or operate as a waiver.

9.7 Notices . Any written notice required or permitted under this Agreement will be deemed to have been duly given on the date of receipt, and will be either delivered personally to the Party to whom notice is given, or mailed to the Party to whom notice is to be given, by facsimile, courier service or first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the addressee at the address set forth below, or at the most recent address specified by written notice given to the other Parties in the manner provided in this Section 9.7 .

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ISSUANCES

OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 4.1 Capital Contributions of the Partners

A. General . Each Partner has made (or shall be deemed to have made) the Capital Contributions to the Partnership and owns Partnership Units in the respective amounts set forth for such Partner in the Partner Registry, as the same may be amended from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately sales, exchanges, conversions or other Transfers, redemptions, Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on a Partner’s ownership of Partnership Units occurring after the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partner Registry attached as Exhibit A hereto gives effect to (x) all prior issuances of Partnership Units, including

-30-

any issuances effective on the Effective Date as described in the recitals to this Agreement and/or related to the acceleration of the issuances described in Section 4.1.B and Section 4.1.C hereof, (y) the Unit Split and (z) the transactions specified in subsections A-G of Section 4.6 , but does not give effect to (A) the issuance of any Partnership Units that may be issued after the Effective Date or (B) the automatic conversions and cancellations contemplated by subsections I-L of Section 4.6 hereof. Except as provided in Sections 10.5 and 13.3 hereof or as may be provided in another agreement between the Partnership and any Partner, the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the Partnership (whether in the form of loans, repayments of loans or otherwise). Except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.3 hereof, no Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise.

B. CREZ Project Credit . Pursuant to Section 4.1.B(i) of the Amended and Restated Agreement, the Initial Limited Partner was entitled to receive credit for deemed Capital Contributions, up to $82,500,000, for certain construction-related capital expenditures, as well as Class A Units (at a deemed issue price of ten dollars ($10) per Class A Unit, before giving effect to the Unit Split, or $10.654733 per Class A Unit after giving effect to the Unit Split) with respect to such deemed Capital Contributions. The amount of such accrued deemed credit is $72,021,950 immediately before the Effective Date. Consistent with the Amended and Restated Agreement, on the Effective Date (x) the Partnership hereby issues deemed Capital Contribution credit to the Initial Limited Partner of $10,478,050, accelerating such credit to an aggregate of $82,500,000, and (y) the Partnership hereby issues 983,418 Class A Units at $10.654733 per Class A Unit (after giving effect to the Unit Split) in respect of such accelerated credit. The Initial Limited Partner agrees that such issuances settle the Partnership’s obligation to the Initial Limited Partner under Section 4.1.B(i) of the Amended and Restated Agreement, and that such issuances, together with the issuances referred to in Section 4.1.C hereof, settle any and all deemed Capital Contribution obligations the Partnership owes the Initial Limited Partner. The Partner Registry attached hereto as Exhibit A reflects the effect of the issuances described in clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 4.1.B .

C. Other Deemed Capital Contributions . The Partnership also had the obligation to credit the Initial Limited Partner for deemed Capital Contributions, and issue Class A Units, pursuant to Section 4.1.B(ii) of the Amended and Restated Agreement in respect of five percent (5%) of certain costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to certain Identified Development Projects (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement) and included in the rate base for such Identified Development Project, as adjusted pursuant to the final regulatory order, if applicable (“ Qualifying Costs ”). In this regard, the Capital Contributions and Class A Units reflected in the Partner Registry attached as Exhibit A hereto include $187,460 of deemed Capital Contributions and 17,595 Class A Units which Capital Contributions and Class A Units are in respect of $3,749,182 of estimated Qualifying Costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to the “D/C tie” Identified Development Project. Because the Partnership has not yet closed its books for 2014, these numbers are preliminary. If the Partnership in good faith determines that the amount of the Qualifying Costs actually incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 with respect to the D/C tie project are more or less than $3,749,182, and, as a result, the Initial Limited Partner was issued an incorrect number of Class A Units than it otherwise would have been entitled to, then (i) if the

-31-

number originally issued was too high, the Initial Limited Partner shall contribute to the Partnership (in cash) an amount equal to the difference (i.e., the amount of Class A Units that were actually issued minus the amount that should have been issued) multiplied by the Value of a share of Public REIT Stock as of the issuance date of the financial statements of the General Partner as of December 31, 2014 and the year then ended, and (ii) if the number was too low, the Partnership will pay the Initial Limited Partner (in cash) an amount equal to the difference (i.e., the amount of Class A Units that should have been issued minus the amount that were issued) multiplied by the Value of a share of Public REIT Stock as of the issuance date of the financial statements of the General Partner as of December 31, 2014 and the year then ended, provided, however, with respect to clause (ii), in no event will the Partnership be required to make a payment that exceeds $50,000. Determinations hereunder will be made by the Partnership in good faith. Subject to the obligation of the Initial Limited Partner and the Partnership specified in this Section 4.1C , the Initial Limited Partner agrees that the Capital Contributions and Class A Units reflected in the Partner Registry attached as Exhibit A hereto reflects all issuances specified in Section 4.1.B(ii) of the Amended and Restated Agreement, and that such issuances, together with the issuances referred to in Section 4.1.B hereof, settle any and all deemed Capital Contribution obligations the Partnership owes the Initial Limited Partner. All of the Class A Unit numbers set forth above give effect to the Unit Split. The obligation of the Initial Limited Partner to make a cash contribution to the Partnership, and of the Partnership to make a cash payment to the Initial Limited Partner, in this Section 4.1.C will terminate on April 1, 2015.

Section 4.2 Issuances of Partnership Interests

Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Units set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation:

A. General . Subject to Section 7.9.E hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units, for any Partnership purpose, to the Partners (including the General Partner and its Affiliates) or other Persons (including in connection with any agreement to which the Partnership is a party with respect to Contributed Property or otherwise) and to admit such Persons as Additional Limited Partners, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to Delaware law, all without the approval of any Limited Partners. Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units (i) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any Debt, Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership, (ii) for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interest of the Stockholders and the Partnership, (iii) in connection with any merger of any other Person into the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership if the applicable merger agreement provides that Persons are to receive Partnership Units in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, (iv) in consideration for services rendered to or for the benefit of the Partnership and (v) pursuant to the provisions of the Management Agreement, Development Agreement or any other agreement to which the Partnership is a party. Subject to Delaware law, any additional Partnership Units may be issued in one or more classes, or in one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties (including rights, powers and

-32-

duties senior to existing classes of Partnership Units), all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by reference (each, a “ Partnership Unit Designation ”), without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have authority to specify: (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions, (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, (iv) the voting rights, if any, of each such class or series of Partnership Interests, (v) the conversion, redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such class or series of Partnership Interests, and (vi) any vesting conditions applicable to such class or series of Partnership Interests. Upon the issuance of any additional Partnership Interests, the General Partner shall amend the Partner Registry as appropriate to reflect such issuance.

B. Issuances to the General Partner . No additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner unless (i) the additional Partnership Units are issued to all Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests with respect to the class of Partnership Units so issued, (ii) the additional Partnership Units are issued in connection with an issuance of Shares and the General Partner directly or indirectly contributes or otherwise causes to be transferred to the Partnership the net cash proceeds or other net consideration, if any, received in connection with the issuance of such Shares, or (iii) the additional Partnership Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt or other securities issued by the Partnership. If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.2 , the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such Partnership Interests.

C. Classes of Partnership Units . Subject to Section 4.2.B above, as of the Effective Date the Partnership has five (5) classes of Partnership Units entitled “ Common Units ,” “ Class A Units ,” “ Class B Units ,” “ Class C Units ” and “ LTIP Units. ”

(i) Common Units may be issued by the General Partner in accordance with Section 4.2.A ; provided , that, following the Mandatory Conversion Date, any Partnership Unit that is not specifically designated by the General Partner as being of a particular class shall be deemed to be a Common Unit.

(ii) Class A Units, at the election of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to Section 7.9.E , may be issued to newly admitted Partners in exchange for the contribution by such Partners of cash, Contributed Property, stock, notes or other assets or consideration; provided , that , prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, any Partnership Unit that is not specifically designated by the General Partner as being of a particular class shall be deemed to be a Class A Unit. No Class A Units may be issued after the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Partnership may deem and treat the record holder of any Class A Units as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Partnership shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

-33-

(iii) Class B Units have been issued to the Initial Limited Partner. No Class B Units may be issued after the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Partnership may deem and treat the record holder of any Class B Units as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Partnership shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(iv) Class C Units, at the election of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to Section 7.9.E , may be issued to newly admitted Partners in exchange for the contribution by such Partners of cash, Contributed Property, stock, notes or other assets or consideration. No Class C Units may be issued after the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Partnership may deem and treat the record holder of any Class C Units as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Partnership shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(v) LTIP Units, at the election of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to Sections 4.4.C , 4.4.D and 4.4.E , may be issued to newly admitted Partners as consideration for the performance of past or future services on behalf of the General Partner, the Partnership, or its Subsidiaries.

D. Certificates for Partnership Units . The Partnership Units shall be uncertificated; provided , however , that the General Partner may provide otherwise as to some or all of any classes or series of the Partnership Units; provided , further , that any Partner will be entitled, upon request, to receive a certificate representing the Partnership Units held by such Partner in connection with a pledge of such Partnership Units permitted pursuant to Section 11.3 . All Partnership Units held by a Partner shall be securities within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction.

Section 4.3 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions.

A. General . The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“ Additional Funds ”) for the acquisition of additional Partnership assets, for the redemption of Partnership Units or for such other Partnership purposes as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Additional Funds may be raised by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 . No Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interests.

B. Additional Capital Contributions . The Partnership may raise all or any portion of such Additional Funds by accepting additional Capital Contributions from the Partners or from third parties on terms and conditions as shall be determined by the General Partner. In connection with any such additional Capital Contributions (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized and directed to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Units. In the event that the Partnership accepts additional Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.3.B , the General Partner shall make such additional revisions to this Agreement (including the Partner Registry) as are consistent with and necessary to reflect such additional Capital Contributions.

-34-

C. Issuance of Securities by the General Partner . The General Partner shall not issue any additional Shares unless the General Partner contributes directly or indirectly the cash proceeds or other consideration, if any, received from the issuance of such additional Shares to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Units; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may issue Shares (i) pursuant to Section 8.7 , (ii) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) or otherwise pursuant to which there is an adjustment to the Conversion Factor pursuant to the definition thereof, or (iii) pursuant to share grants or awards made pursuant to any Equity Incentive Plan. In the event of any issuance of additional Shares by the General Partner, and the direct or indirect contribution to the Partnership, by the General Partner, of the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance, the Partnership shall pay the General Partner’s expenses associated with such issuance, including any underwriting discounts or commissions (it being understood 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 or other expenses paid or incurred by the General Partner 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 for the amount of, or paid directly, as the case may be, such underwriter’s discount or other expenses).

D. Loans by Third Parties . The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to any Person upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units; provided , however , that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

E. General Partner Loans . The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt with the General Partner (a “ General Partner Loan ”), if (i) such Debt is, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as Funding Debt incurred by the General Partner, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Partnership to provide such Additional Funds or (ii) such Debt is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than would be available to the Partnership from any third party; provided , however , that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if (a) a breach, violation or default of such Debt would be deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer by any Limited Partner of any Partnership Interest or (b) such Debt is recourse to any Partner (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

Section 4.4 Equity Incentive Plan

A. Establishment of Equity Incentive Plan . Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the General Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees, directors or other business

-35-

associates of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates (“ Equity Incentive Plans ”). The General Partner may implement such Equity Incentive Plans and any actions taken under such plans (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire Shares or Partnership Units, the issuance of restricted Shares or Partnership Units, or the issuance of LTIP Units), whether taken with respect to or by an employee or other service provider of the General Partner, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner, which may be set forth in plan implementation guidelines and/or Award Agreements that the General Partner may establish or amend from time to time. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such Equity Incentive Plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner, amendments to this Agreement may become necessary or advisable and that any such amendments requested by the General Partner shall not require any Consent or approval by the Limited Partners. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Units as contemplated by this Section 4.4 without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.

B. Options Granted or Other Issuances of Shares . If at any time or from time to time, in connection with an Equity Incentive Plan, a stock option to acquire Shares is duly exercised or any Shares are otherwise issued (e.g., an award of restricted stock), (i) the General Partner shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise or issuance, make or cause to be made directly or indirectly a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the exercise price (if any) paid to the General Partner by such exercising party in connection with the exercise of such stock option or recipient in connection with such other issuance of Shares and (ii) notwithstanding the amount of the Capital Contribution (if any) actually made upon any such exercise or issuance, the General Partner shall be deemed to have contributed directly or indirectly to the Partnership, as a Capital Contribution, in consideration of an additional Limited Partnership Interest (expressed in and as additional Partnership Units), an amount equal to the Value of a Share as of the date of exercise or issuance multiplied by the number of Shares then being issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 4.4.B , in determining the Value of a Share, only the trading date immediately preceding the exercise of the relevant stock option or other issuance of Shares under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be considered.

C. Issuance of LTIP Units . The General Partner may from time to time issue LTIP Units to Persons who provide services to or for the benefit of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, for such consideration as the General Partner may determine to be appropriate, and admit such Persons as Limited Partners. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4 , LTIP Units shall be treated as Common Units, with all of the rights, privileges and obligations attendant thereto. For purposes of computing the Partners’ Percentage Interests, Holders of LTIP Units shall be treated as holders of Common Units and LTIP Units shall be treated as Common Units. In particular, the Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between LTIP Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures:

(i) If an Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Common Units and LTIP Units. The following shall be “ Adjustment Events ”: (A) the Partnership makes a

-36-

distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the General Partner in respect of a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the General Partner. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as “Adjustment Events” and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by any Equity Incentive Plan, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. 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 the filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each Holder of a LTIP Unit setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment; and

(ii) The Holders of LTIP Units shall, when, as and if authorized and declared by the General Partner out of assets legally available for that purpose, be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per LTIP Unit equal to the distributions per Common Unit, paid to holders of Common Units on such Partnership Record Date established by the General Partner with respect to such distribution. So long as any LTIP Units are outstanding, no distributions (whether in cash or in kind) shall be authorized, declared or paid on Common Units, unless equal distributions have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid on the LTIP Units. Subject to the terms of any Award Agreement, a Holder of a LTIP Unit shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article XI of this Agreement.

D. Special Provisions Applicable to LTIP Units .

(i) Priority . Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4.D and Section 4.4.E , the LTIP Units shall rank pari passu with the Common Units as to the payment of regular and special periodic or other distributions. Immediately prior to any

-37-

liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner shall exercise its right to cause a 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 liquidation, dissolution or winding up, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Units in the context of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (in which case the Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up). As to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, any class or series of Partnership Units or Partnership Interests which by its terms specifies that it shall rank junior to, on a parity with, or senior to the Common Units shall also rank junior to, or pari passu with, or senior to, as the case may be, the LTIP Units.

(ii) Award Agreements; Vesting . LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to such vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer as are set forth in an award agreement entered into between the recipient and the General Partner and/or the Partnership (an “ Award Agreement ”). The terms of any Award Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Award Agreement or by the Equity Incentive Plan, if applicable. LTIP Units that have vested under the terms of an Award Agreement are referred to as “ Vested LTIP Units ”; all other LTIP Units shall be treated as “ Unvested LTIP Units .”

(iii) Forfeiture . Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in an Award Agreement as resulting in either the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to repurchase LTIP Units at a specified purchase price or some other forfeiture of any LTIP Units, then if the Partnership or the General Partner exercises such right to repurchase or forfeiture in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the Award 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 respect to a Partnership Record Date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any repurchase or forfeiture of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the Holder of the LTIP Units that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the Target Balance (as determined and defined in Section 6.5.J ), calculated with respect to such Holder’s remaining LTIP Units, if any.

(iv) Redemption . The redemption right provided to Limited Partners under Section 8.7 shall not apply with respect to LTIP Units unless and until they are converted to Common Units as provided in Section 4.4.E below.

(v) Voting . LTIP Units shall not have any voting rights until such time as they are converted into Common Units as provided herein.

-38-

(vi) Characterization as Profits Interests . Any LTIP Units to be issued under this Agreement are intended to qualify as “profits interests” under IRS Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43, and the sections of this Agreement relating to such interests shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith. In this regard, (x) any such LTIP Units so issued shall have a Capital Account as of their issue date equal to $0 and (y) to the extent any portion of a distribution otherwise payable to a holder of LTIP Units would cause such holder to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after taking into account all allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction expected to be made to such holder for the year in or for which the distribution is made, such portion of the distribution shall not be paid to such holder until such time, if any, that the payment of such portion of the distribution would not have the result described in this clause (y).

E. Conversion of LTIP Units .

(i) Subject to Section 4.4.E(ii) , a Holder of LTIP Units shall have the right (the “ Conversion Right ”), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units; provided , however , that a holder may not exercise the Conversion Right for less than 100 Vested LTIP Units or, if such holder holds less than 100 Vested LTIP Units, all of the Vested LTIP Units held by such holder. A Holder 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 Holder of LTIP Units may give the Partnership a Conversion Notice (as defined in Section 4.4.E(ii) below) conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting and such Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by such Holder of 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. In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 4.4.E .

(ii) A holder of Vested LTIP Units may convert such Units into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 4.4.D . Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a holder of Vested LTIP Units convert a number of Vested LTIP Units that exceeds (x) the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of such Limited Partner which is attributable to all the LTIP Units owned by such Limited Partner, divided by (y) the Common Unit Economic Balance, in each case as determined as of the effective date of conversion (the “ Capital Account Limitation ”). In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a Holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (a “ Conversion Notice ”) to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) which specifies the number of Vested LTIP Units to be converted and a conversion date (the “ Conversion Date ”) that is not less than 10 days, or more than 60 days, after the date of delivery of such 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 4.4.E(ii) shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything

-39-

herein to the contrary, a holder of LTIP Units may deliver a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 8.7.A of this Agreement relating to those Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon conversion of such LTIP Units into Common Units in advance of the Conversion Date; provided , however , that the redemption of such Common Units by the Partnership shall in no event take place until after the Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a Holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the General Partner elects to assume the Partnership’s redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under Section 8.7.B of this Agreement by delivering to such holder Shares rather than cash, then such holder can have such Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units. The General Partner shall reasonably cooperate with a Holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.

(iii) The Partnership, at any time at the election of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units held by a Holder of LTIP Units to be converted (a “ Forced Conversion ”) into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 4.4.D ; provided , however , that the Partnership may not cause Forced Conversion of any LTIP Units that would not at the time be eligible for conversion at the option of such Holder of LTIP Units pursuant to Section 4.4.E(ii) (e.g., due to the application of the Capital Account Limitation). In order to exercise its right of Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ”) to the applicable Holder of LTIP Units not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the Conversion Date specified in such Forced Conversion Notice.

(iv) A conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the holder thereof has given a Conversion Notice or the Partnership has given a Forced Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable 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. The permitted Assignee of any Limited Partner pursuant to Article XI hereof and any applicable Award Agreement may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 4.4.E and such Limited Partner shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by the Assignee.

(v) For purposes of making future allocations under Section 6.1 and applying the Capital Account Limitation, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable Holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or

-40-

her remaining LTIP Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of LTIP Units converted and the Common Unit Economic Balance.

(vi) If the Partnership, the General Partner or the Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self-tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an Adjustment Event) in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Common Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “ Transaction ”), then, immediately prior to the Transaction, (x) in the event of a merger, consolidation, exchange or other similar transaction resulting in a change of control of the Partnership, all Unvested LTIP Units shall immediately vest and (y) the General Partner shall exercise its right to cause a 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 Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction).

In anticipation of such Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 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, or an affiliate of such 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 use commercially reasonable efforts to afford the Holder of LTIP Units 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 a Common Unit failed to make such an election.

-41-

(vii) Conversions under this Section 4.4.E shall not be treated as a Transfer (and, thus, shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfers).

(viii) Effective as of the Effective Date, the Partnership is issuing 28,000 LTIP Units to certain members of the board of directors of the General Partner. The Partner Registry attached hereto as Exhibit A reflects the effect of these issuances. For the avoidance of doubt, these LTIP Units will not be subject to Section 4.6.K .

Section 4.5 Dividend Reinvestment Plan or Cash Option Purchase Plan.

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article IV , all amounts received or deemed received by the General Partner in respect of any Qualified DRIP/COPP, either (a) shall be utilized by the General Partner to effect open market purchases of Shares, or (b) if the General Partner elects instead to issue new Shares with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the General Partner to the Partnership in exchange for additional Partnership Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Partnership will issue to the General Partner a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the new Shares so issued, divided by (ii) the Conversion Factor then in effect. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Common Units as contemplated by this Section 4.5 without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.

(i) This Section 4.6.I. sets forth the manner in which any outstanding Class A Units held by InfraREIT Inc. will automatically convert to Common Units on the Mandatory Conversion Date, among other matters.

(ii) As of the Mandatory Conversion Date, the General Partner shall calculate the dollar amount that InfraREIT Inc. and the Initial Limited Partner would have been entitled to receive if an amount equal to the sum of the Cash Merger Amount, the Overallotment Amount and the 30-Day Class A Value were allocated as follows:

(a) First, to InfraREIT Inc. until the sum of prior distributions to the Predecessor General Partner in respect of its Class A Units under Article V of the

-43-

Amended and Restated Agreement, plus any prior distributions to InfraREIT Inc. in respect of its Class A Units pursuant to Section 5.1.C hereof, plus the allocation of the Cash Merger Amount, the Overallotment Amount and the 30-Day Class A Value under this Section 4.6.I.(ii)(a) , equals an Implied IRR of 13.5% per annum with respect to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the Predecessor General Partner to the Partnership in respect of its Class A Units (other than the Class A Units redeemed pursuant to Section 4.6.G ); and

(iii) Following such calculation, if there is a Carry Shortfall, the Partnership will (A) cancel a number of Class A Units held by InfraREIT Inc. equal to the amount of the Carry Shortfall divided by the 30-Day VWAP Price (with such number of Class A Units adjusted up or down by less than 60 Class A Units in order to account for Share Rounding so as to cause the number of Common Units held by InfraREIT Inc. to equal the number of shares of Public REIT Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Date) and (B) issue the Initial Limited Partner an equal number of Common Units.

(iv) After the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6.I. , all remaining outstanding Class A Units held by InfraREIT Inc. shall be automatically converted into an equal number of Common Units.

(b) Thereafter, (x) 70% to InfraREIT Inc. and (y) 30% to the Initial Limited Partner.

-44-

(iii) If an amount is allocable to the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.6.J.(ii)(b) , the Partnership will (A) cancel a number of Class C Units held by InfraREIT Inc. equal to such amount divided by the 30-Day VWAP Price (with such number of Class C Units adjusted up or down by less than 100 Class C Units in order to account for Share Rounding so as to cause the number of Common Units held by InfraREIT Inc. to equal the number of shares of Public REIT Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Date) and (B) issue the Initial Limited Partner an equal number of Common Units.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event may a Partner receive a distribution of Cash From Operations with respect to a Partnership Unit for an applicable period if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution with respect to a Share for which such Partnership Unit has been redeemed or exchanged. Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement from and after the time a new class or series of Partnership Interests is created in accordance with Article IV hereof, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the qualification of the General Partner as a REIT, to distribute Cash From Operations to the General Partner in an amount sufficient to enable the General Partner to make distributions to its Stockholders that will enable the General Partner to (1) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the REIT Rules and (2) avoid any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability.

B. Method . Except as provided in Section 5.1.C ,

(i) Each Holder of a class of Partnership Units that, as a class, is entitled to any preference in distribution shall be entitled to a distribution in accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership Units (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests in such class on such Partnership Record Date); and

(ii) To the extent there is Cash From Operations remaining after payment of any preference in distribution in accordance with the foregoing clause (i), with respect to Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within each such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests in such class on such Partnership Record Date).

C. Notwithstanding Section 5.1.B , the day that is one day before the Effective Date shall be considered to be a Partnership Record Date (the “ Final Pre-IPO Record Date ”) and, on the Effective Date, the General Partner shall distribute Cash From Operations for the period ending on the Final Pre-IPO Record Date among the Partners owning Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units on the Final Pre-IPO Record Date in accordance with Section 5.1.C of the Amended and Restated Agreement. The General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the amount of such distribution to be in an amount at least equal to the Partnership’s net taxable income and gain generated through the portion of the Fiscal Year ending on the Effective Date.

-46-

Section 5.2 Distributions in-Kind

No right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind of Partnership assets to the Holders of Partnership Units, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles V , VI and X .

Section 5.3 Amounts Withheld

All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 10.5 with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to the General Partner, the Limited Partners or Assignees shall be treated as amounts distributed to the General Partner, Limited Partners or Assignees pursuant to Section 5.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 5.4 Distributions Upon Liquidation

Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2 .

Section 5.5 Revisions to Reflect Issuance of Partnership Interests

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article V and the Partner Registry as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests without the requirements for any other consents or approvals.

Section 5.6 No Distributions Prior to Mandatory Conversion Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the General Partner will not authorize any distribution of Cash From Operations or set a Partnership Record Date for any purpose, without the express written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of Hunt (or its successor Entity).

Section 5.7 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall make a distribution to any Partner on account of its Partnership Interest if such distribution would violate the LP Act or other Applicable Law.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Allocations For Capital Account Purposes

For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction

-47-

(computed in accordance with Section 6.2 ), shall, except as provided in Section 6.5 , be allocated among the Partners (and determined separately for each class of Partnership Interest held by each Partner) in each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) as provided in this Section 6.1 below.

A. Net Income . After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.5 , and subject to Section 6.1.C , Net Income for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, to the General Partner until the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this clause (i) equals the cumulative Net Losses previously allocated to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.B(iv) ;

(ii) second, to the Holders of any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference upon liquidation until the cumulative Net Income allocated under this clause (ii) equals the cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Partners under Section 6.1.B(iii) ;

(iii) third, to the Holders of any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution (other than a preferred return of capital) in accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership Interests until each such Partnership Unit has been allocated, on a cumulative basis pursuant to this clause (iii), Net Income equal to the amount of any such preference in distribution (other than a preferred return of capital) of such class of Partnership Units (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made); and

(iv) thereafter with respect to Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in the allocation of Net Income, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made).

B. Net Losses . After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.5 , and subject to Section 6.1.C , Net Losses for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, to the Holders of Partnership Units, in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) the cumulative Net Income previously allocated to such holders pursuant to Section 6.1.A(iv) , over (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate distributions with respect to such Partnership Units pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 5.1.B , and (B) the cumulative allocations of Net Losses to such holders pursuant to this Section 6.1.B(i) for all prior taxable years;

(ii) second, with respect to classes of Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution upon liquidation, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made); provided , that Net Losses shall not be allocated to any

-48-

Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1.B(ii) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) (determined in the case of a Partner who also holds classes of Partnership Units that are entitled to any preferences in distribution upon liquidation, by subtracting from such Partners’ Adjusted Capital Account the amount of such preferred distribution to be made upon liquidation) at the end of such Fiscal Year (or portion thereof));

(iii) third, with respect to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distribution upon liquidation, in reverse order of the priorities of each such class (and within each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made; provided , that Net Losses shall not be allocated to any Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1.B(iii) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) at the end of such Fiscal Year (or portion thereof); and

(iv) thereafter, to the General Partner.

C. Special Allocations Upon Liquidation . Notwithstanding Sections 6.1.A and 6.1.B , in the event that the Partnership disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction that will lead to a liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article XIII hereof, any Net Income or Net Losses realized in connection with such transaction and thereafter (and, if necessary, constituent items of income, gain, loss and deduction) shall be specially allocated for such Fiscal Year or other relevant period (and to the extent permitted by Section 761(c) of the Code, for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or period) among the Holders as required so as to cause liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 13.2.A(v) hereof to be made in the same amounts and proportions as would have resulted had such distributions instead been made pursuant to Article V hereof. In addition, if there is an adjustment to the Carrying Value of the assets of the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.2.D , allocations of Net Income or Net Losses arising from such adjustment shall be allocated in the same manner as described in the prior sentence.

D. Allocation of Nonrecourse Debt . For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated by the General Partner by taking into account the facts and circumstances relating to each Partner’s respective interest in the profits of the Partnership. For this purpose, the General Partner will have discretion in any Fiscal Year or other relevant period to allocate such excess Nonrecourse Liabilities among the Partners in any manner permitted under Section 752 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

Section 6.2 Capital Accounts of the Partners

A. The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions and any other deemed

B. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership, provided that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4).

(ii) The computation of all items of income, gain, and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code are not includible in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

(iii) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(iv) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other relevant period.

(v) In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.2.D hereof, the amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.

(vi) Any items specially allocated under Section 6.5 of this Agreement shall not be taken into account.

-50-

C. A transferee (including any Assignee) of a Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.

(i) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 6.2.D(ii) , the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the times of the adjustments provided in Section 6.2.D(ii) hereof, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property and allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.5 .

(ii) Such adjustments shall be made as of the following times: (a) immediately prior to the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution or as consideration for the performance of services for or on behalf of the General Partner, the Partnership or any Subsidiary; (b) immediately prior to the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; and (c) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), provided , however , that adjustments pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be made only if the General Partner determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership.

(a) In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(e), the Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in-kind shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is distributed.

(b) In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of this Section 6.2 , the aggregate Cash Amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article XIII , shall be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate fair market value among the assets of the Partnership in such manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the transactions that occur in connection with the REIT IPO (including any contribution of proceeds received by InfraREIT Inc. in the REIT IPO to the Partnership for Common Units, the transactions described in subsections B-G of Section 4.6 which occur on the Effective Date and the transactions described in

Sections 4.6.I , 4.6.J , 4.6.K and 4.6.L that occur on the Mandatory Conversion Date) shall be treated as transactions described in Section 6.2.D(ii) that trigger the adjustments described in Section 6.2.D(i) and (y) Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss resulting from such adjustments shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner so as to cause the Capital Account balances of each of the Members (determined immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Date) to be in the same ratios to one another as the number of Common Units owned by each of the Members (determined immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Date) is to one another.

E. The provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 6.2 ) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification without regard to Article XIV , provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article XIII upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

Section 6.3 No Withdrawal

No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as provided in Articles IV , V , VII and XIII of this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Revisions to Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Partnership Interests

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article VI and the Partner Registry as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto. Such revisions shall not require the consent or approval of any other Partner.

Section 6.5 Special Allocation Rules

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

A. Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 or any other provisions of this Section 6.5 , if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year or other relevant period, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year or period (and, if necessary, subsequent years or periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 6.5.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this Section 6.5.A only, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement with respect to such Fiscal Year or period and without regard to any decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year or period.

B. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.1 of this Agreement or any other provisions of this Section 6.5 (except Section 6.5.A hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year or other relevant period, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year or period (and, if necessary, subsequent years and periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 6.5.B is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 6.5.B , each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.5 with respect to such Fiscal Year or period, other than allocations pursuant to Section 6.5.A hereof.

C. Qualified Income Offset . In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), l.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 6.5.A and 6.5.B hereof with respect to such Fiscal Year or other relevant period, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Fiscal Year or period) shall be specifically allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 6.5.C is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

-53-

D. Gross Income Allocation . In the event that any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year or other relevant period (after taking into account allocations to be made under the preceding paragraphs hereof with respect to such Fiscal Year or period), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Fiscal Year or period) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

E. Nonrecourse Deductions . Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other relevant period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the number of Partnership Units owned by each such Partner. If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio for such Fiscal Year or period to the numerically closest ratio which would satisfy such requirements.

F. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions . Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other relevant period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).

G. Code Section 754 Adjustments . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

H. Curative Allocations . The allocations set forth in paragraphs A.-G. of this Section 6.5 (the “ Regulatory Allocations ”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner is authorized to make offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it deems appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.5.J .

I. Special Allocation For Portion of Year Prior to Effective Date . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 above, the Partnership’s Net Income and Net Losses generated through the portion of the Fiscal Year ending on the Final Pre-IPO Record Date, and (to the extent not included in such Net Income and Net Losses) any Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss resulting from the adjustments set forth in Section 6.2.D(ii)(c) , shall be

-54-

allocated among the Partners in such a manner so as to cause each Partner’s Capital Account balance to equal the product of the Common Unit Economic Balance (as defined in Section 6.5.J(ii) ) and the number of Common Units owned (including those received on the Mandatory Conversion Date pursuant to Section 4.6 ) by each such Partner.

J. Special Allocations Regarding LTIP Units . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 above, (a) Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the Holders of LTIP Units until the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of each such Holder of LTIP Units that is attributable to all the LTIP Units owned by such Holder of LTIP Units is equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of the LTIP Units owned by such Holder of LTIP Units (the “ Target Balance ”) and (b) prior to the time the result in (a) is achieved, the amount of Net Income other than Liquidating Gains which is allocated under Section 6.1 to a Holder of LTIP Units in respect of each LTIP Unit for any Fiscal Year or other relevant period shall not exceed the amount of distributions made in respect of such LTIP Unit for such Fiscal Year or other period. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “ Book-Up Target ” for a LTIP Unit means (i) initially, the Common Unit Economic Balance as determined on the date such LTIP Unit was granted, plus or minus , as the case may be, (ii) the remaining amount, if any, required to be allocated to such LTIP Unit for the Economic Capital Account Balance of the holder of such LTIP Unit, to the extent attributable to such LTIP Unit, to be equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance.

(ii) “ Common Unit Economic Balance ” shall mean (i) the Capital Account balance of the General Partner, plus the amount of the General Partner’s share of any Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to the General Partner’s ownership of Common Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through the date on which any allocation is made under this Section 6.5.J (including, without limitation, any expenses of the Partnership reimbursed to the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4 ), divided by (ii) the number of the General Partner’s Common Units.

(iii) “ Economic Capital Account Balances ” of a Holder of LTIP Units shall mean an amount equal to the portion of such Holder’s Capital Account balance which is attributable to all LTIP Units owned by such Holder, plus the amount of his or her allocable share of any Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain attributable to such LTIP Units.

(iv) “ Liquidating Gains ” means gains realized in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, including but not limited to Unrealized Gain resulting from an adjustment to the Carrying Value of Partnership assets pursuant to Section 6.2.D .

(v) “ Liquidating Losses ” means losses realized in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, including but not limited to Unrealized Loss resulting from an adjustment to the Carrying Value of Partnership assets pursuant to Section 6.2.D .

-55-

Liquidating Gain allocated to a Holder of LTIP Units under this Section 6.5.J will be attributed to specific LTIP Units of such Holder for purposes of determining (i) allocations under this Section 6.5.J , (ii) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP Units on such Holder’s Capital Account and (iii) the ability of such Holder of LTIP Units or the Partnership to convert specific LTIP Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 4.4.E(ii) and Section 4.4.E(iii) . Such Liquidating Gain allocated to such Holder of LTIP Units will generally be attributed in the following order: (i) first, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years, (ii) second, to Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less, (iii) third, to 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 Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (iv) fourth, to other Unvested LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued). Within each category, Liquidating 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 Book-Up Target to largest Book-Up Target. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which a LTIP Unit does not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any present or former Holder of LTIP Units attributable to such Holder’s LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such Holder of LTIP Units, or Liquidating Gains shall be allocated to the other Partners, to reduce or eliminate the disparity; provided , however , that if Liquidating Losses or Liquidating 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. In the event that Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses are allocated under this Section 6.5.J , Net Income and Net Losses allocable under Section 6.1 shall be recomputed without regard to the Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses so allocated. The parties agree that the intent of this Section 6.5.J is (i) to make allocations of Liquidating Gains and Liquidating Loss so as to cause the Capital Account balance associated with each LTIP Unit to be economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated with the General Partner’s Common Units (on a per-Common Unit/LTIP Unit basis) and (ii) to allow conversion of a Vested LTIP Unit into a Common Unit when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to Section 6.5.J so that either its initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in the definition of Target Balance has been achieved.

Section 6.6 Allocations for Tax Purposes

A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6 , for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.5 hereof.

-56-

B. In an attempt to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) (a) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the variation between the 704(c) Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution (taking into account Section 6.6.C ); and (b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.5 hereof.

(ii) (a) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (A) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 6.1 , Section 6.2.D and Section 6.5.J ; (B) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.6.B(i) ; and (b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.5 hereof.

(iii) all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as their correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.6 hereof.

C. The Partnership shall use the “traditional” method as set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), without curative or remedial allocations, to eliminate the disparities between the Carrying Value and adjusted basis of Contributed Property contributed prior to the Effective Date hereof. With respect to all other Contributed Property, to the extent Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code permit a partnership to utilize alternative methods to eliminate the disparities between the Carrying Value of property and its adjusted basis, the General Partner shall, subject to the following, have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partners and such election shall be binding on all Partners; provided , that, to the extent that the General Partner has agreed to use a particular method with respect to a Contributed Property, the General Partner shall be bound by such agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

D. Recapture Income . Any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6 , be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

Section 7.3 Title to Partnership Assets

Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an Entity, and no Partners, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Persons controlled by the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee of or Person controlled by the General Partner shall be held for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner

A. No Compensation . Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as the general partner of the Partnership.

B. Responsibility for Partnership Expenses . The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including expenses related to the operations of the General Partner and to the management and administration of any Subsidiaries of the General Partner or the Partnership or Affiliates of the Partnership, such as auditing expenses and filing fees). The General Partner shall determine in good faith the amount of expenses incurred by it related to the ownership and

-63-

operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership. If certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other Entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other Entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3.C and as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 . All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner.

C. Partnership Interest Issuance Expenses . The General Partner shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of Partnership Interests, Shares or Debt of the Partnership or the General Partner or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to Article IV (including all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of which expenses are considered by the Partners to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Partnership.

D. Reimbursement not a Distribution . If and to the extent any reimbursement made pursuant to this Section 7.4 is determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes not to constitute a payment of expenses of the Partnership, the amount so determined shall constitute a guaranteed payment with respect to capital 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 a distribution for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

E. Funding for Certain Capital Transactions . In the event that the General Partner shall undertake to acquire (whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, or otherwise) the assets or Equity Interests of another Person and such acquisition shall require the payment of cash by the General Partner (whether to such Person or to any other selling party or parties in such transaction or to one or more creditors, if any, of such Person or such selling party or parties), (i) the Partnership shall advance to the General Partner the cash required to consummate such acquisition if, and to the extent that, such cash is not to be obtained by the General Partner through an issuance of Shares described in Section 4.2 or pursuant to a transaction described in Section 4.3.C , (ii) the General Partner shall immediately, upon consummation of such acquisition, transfer to the Partnership (or cause to be transferred to the Partnership), in full and complete satisfaction of such advance and as required by Section 4.3 , the assets or Equity Interests of such Person acquired by the General Partner in such acquisition, and (iii) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.2 and Section 4.3.C , the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner Partnership Interests and/or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights that are substantially the same as those of any additional Shares, other equity securities, New Securities and/or debt securities, as the case may be, issued by the General Partner in connection with such acquisition (whether issued directly to participants in the acquisition transaction or to third parties in order to obtain cash to complete the acquisition). In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the General Partner engages in a transaction in which (x) the General Partner (or a wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the General Partner) merges with another Entity (referred to as the “ Parent Entity ”) that is organized in the “UPREIT format” (i.e., where the Parent Entity holds all or substantially all of its assets and conducts all or

-64-

substantially all of its operations through a partnership, limited liability company or other Entity (referred to as an “ Operating Entity ”)) and the General Partner survives such merger, (y) such Operating Entity merges with or is otherwise acquired by the Partnership in exchange in whole or in part for Partnership Interests, and (z) the General Partner is required or elects to pay part of the consideration in connection with such merger involving the Parent Entity in the form of cash and part of the consideration in the form of Shares, the Partnership shall distribute to the General Partner with respect to its existing Partnership Interest an amount of cash sufficient to complete such transaction and the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel a number of Partnership Units (rounded to the nearest whole number) held by the General Partner equal to the product attained by multiplying the number of additional Shares of the General Partner that the General Partner would have issued to the Parent Entity or the owners of the Parent Entity in such transaction if the entire consideration therefor were to have been paid in Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor.

Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner

The General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as General Partner, (b) the management of the business of the Partnership, (c) if the General Partner becomes a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, the operation of the General Partner as such, (d) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Partnership or its assets or activities, (e) any of the foregoing activities as they relate to a Subsidiary of the Partnership and (f) such activities as are incidental thereto. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the General Partner from executing guarantees of Debt of the Partnership for which it would otherwise be liable in its capacity as General Partner.

Section 7.6 Transactions With Partners and Affiliates

A. Transactions with Certain Affiliates . Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Partnership shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, any Partner or any Affiliate of the Partnership that is not also a Subsidiary of the Partnership, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to the Partnership than would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

B. Permitted Transactions .

(i) The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements, including the Development Agreement, with any Partner or any of its Affiliates on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

(ii) The Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

-65-

(iii) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes to be advisable.

Section 7.7 Limitation on Liability and Indemnification

A. Limitation of Liability . To the maximum extent permitted under the LP Act in effect from time to time, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by it, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities arising from any such act or omission, provided that such loss, claim, cost, damage or liability did not result from such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud or any act or omission constituting a breach of such Covered Person’s duty of loyalty or good faith and fair dealing, or (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Partnership, provided that such tax liability did not result from such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, or (iii) any losses due to the negligence (gross or ordinary), dishonesty or bad faith of any agents of the Partnership that are not Covered Persons or Affiliates of any Covered Person, as long as such Persons are selected with reasonable care. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Person shall, in the performance of his, her or its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the General Partner or the Partnership and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to such Person by the General Partner or by any other Person as to matters such Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the General Partner or the Partnership. Any repeal or modification of this Section 7.7.A shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Person existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

B. Indemnification . To the maximum extent permitted under the LP Act in effect from time to time, the Partnership shall indemnify each Covered Person against any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities to which such Covered Person may become subject in connection with the business or affairs of the Partnership or one of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries or serving at the Partnership’s or one of the Partnership’s direct or indirect Subsidiary’s request as a director, trustee, officer, partner, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or employee benefit plan, provided that such loss, claim, cost, damage or liability did not result from such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud or any act or omission constituting a breach of such Covered Person’s duty of loyalty or good faith and fair dealing. If for any reason (other than such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud or any act or omission constituting a breach of such Covered Person’s duty of loyalty or good faith and fair dealing), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Covered Person, or is insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Covered Person as a result of such loss, claim, cost, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand

-66-

and such Covered Person on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Partnership and such Covered Person, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause a Covered Person to repay amounts paid by the Partnership for indemnification of such Covered Person pursuant to this Section 7.7.B if and to the extent such Covered Person recovers such amounts from insurance recoveries or other source of payment.

C. Advancement of Expenses . Reasonable expenses expected to be incurred by a Covered Person 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 a Covered Person upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Covered Person of the Covered Person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.7 has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

D. No Limitation of Rights . The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person 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 a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Covered Person is indemnified.

E. Insurance . The Partnership shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Covered Persons 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.

F. No Personal Liability for Partners . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including in this Section 7.7 ), any indemnification or other obligation of the Partnership relating to the matters covered in this Section 7.7 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only and no Partner (unless such Partner otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions (other than as required in any other agreement between the Partnership and a Partner) to help satisfy such indemnity of the Partnership. In no event may a Covered Person subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

G. Interested Transactions . A Covered Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Covered Person 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.

-67-

H. Benefit . The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Covered Persons, their employees, officers, directors, trustees, heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 , or any provision hereof, shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitation on the Partnership’s liability to any Covered Person under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or related 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. Indemnification Payments Not Distributions . If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 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. Exception to Indemnification . 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.

Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner

A. No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of Limited Partners . The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

B. Actions of Agents . Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1.A , the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

C. Effect of Amendment . Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

D. Actions to Maintain REIT Status or Avoid Taxation of the General Partner . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or non-mandatory provision of the LP 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 qualify as a REIT or (ii) to allow the General Partner to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 856, Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

E. Regulatory Matters .

(i) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the assets of the Partnership are not intended to constitute plan assets of such Limited Partner for purposes of any applicable non-U.S., state or local law governing the investment and management of the assets of that Limited Partner, and that, as a result, none of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates intends to be acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of any applicable non-U.S., state or local law relating to governmental plans or foreign plans with respect to such Limited Partner or the Partnership assets; provided , however , that this provision is not intended to negate the fiduciary duties imposed upon a general partner under the LP Act.

(ii) In the event that the General Partner believes (a) that the investment in the Partnership by a Limited Partner which is a governmental plan, foreign plan or other regulated Entity (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) (each, a “ Regulated Investor ”) may result in (1) any violation of any law applicable to such Regulated

-69-

Investor, (2) the treatment of the assets of the Partnership as assets of such Regulated Investor or (3) the treatment of the Partnership or the General Partner as a fiduciary under any law applicable to such Regulated Investor, and (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, any of the foregoing conditions results in or may result in any adverse consequences to the Partnership, the General Partner, the directors or officers of the General Partner (both of (a) and (b), a “ Regulatory Issue ”), then the General Partner, in its sole discretion, (x) may require that such Regulated Investor provide an opinion of counsel (such opinion and counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner) that no Regulatory Issue exists, or (y) in the event such an opinion is not delivered within a reasonable time after being requested, may take any of the following actions in its sole discretion and considering the best interests of the Partnership: (A) in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1 amend this Agreement to avoid any material consequences, (B) cause the Partnership to redeem such Regulated Investor’s interest in the Partnership, in whole or in part in a manner consistent with the procedures of Section 7.9.E(iii) and (iv) , (C) require such Regulated Investor to sell its interest in the Partnership, in whole or in part, to one or more other Partners at the Redemption Value, or (D) cause a dissolution of the Partnership and wind up its affairs in accordance with Article XIII .

(iv) The Redemption Value shall be paid by the Partnership to such Redeemed Limited Partner in cash by paying to such Limited Partner a “pro rata portion” of each distribution payable to the Redeemed Limited Partners until the Redemption Value has been fully paid; provided , that the General Partner shall be under no obligation to sell, finance or refinance any Partnership property or assets or to take any other action to effect such redemption which, in the judgment of the General Partner, may affect adversely the Partnership (taking into account the liquidity needs of the Partnership) or any Partner. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Redeemed Limited Partner’s “pro rata portion” of a distribution shall be an amount equal to the amount such Redeemed Limited Partner would have received in respect of the Redeemed Interest had such interest not been redeemed.

-70-

F. Unacceptable Investor . If the General Partner determines that a Partner is an Unacceptable Investor, the Partnership may withhold such Partner’s distributions and Partnership Units, remove such Partner as a Limited Partner of the Partnership upon terms deemed appropriate by the General Partner in its sole discretion and take such other actions as may be desirable or necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

Section 7.10 Reliance By Third Parties

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership, to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership and to take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing.

Section 8.7 Redemption Right

A. General .

(i) Subject to Section 8.7.C , on or after the date that is (1) with respect to Partnership Units issued prior to or as of the REIT IPO (other than the MC Common Units), a twelve (12) month period ending on the day before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, (2) with respect to Partnership Units (other than the MC Common Units) issued after the completion of the REIT IPO, a twelve (12) month period ending on the day before the first (1st) anniversary of the issuance of such Partnership Units and (3) with respect to the MC Common Units, the six (6) month anniversary of the issuance of the MC Common Units on the Effective Date, each Limited Partner shall have the right (the “ Redemption Right ”) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner, with such redemption to occur on the Specified Redemption Date and at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. Any such Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Redemption Right (the “ Redeeming Partner ”).

(ii) The Redeeming Partner shall have no right with respect to any Partnership Units so redeemed to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date with respect to such Partnership Units.

(iii) The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.7 , 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 Limited Partner’s Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

B. General Partner Assumption of Right .

(i) If a Limited Partner has delivered a Notice of Redemption, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to assume directly and satisfy a Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the Shares Amount, as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion,

-74-

on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its right to assume directly and satisfy the Redemption Right, the General Partner shall not have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or to the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right. If the General Partner shall exercise its right to satisfy the Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.7.B and shall fully perform its obligations in connection therewith, the Partnership shall have no right or obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner. Nothing contained in this Section 8.7.B shall imply any right of the General Partner to require any Limited Partner to exercise the Redemption Right afforded to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.7.A .

(ii) If the General Partner determines to pay the Redeeming Partner the Redemption Amount in the form of Shares, the total number of Shares to be paid to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for the Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units shall be the applicable Shares Amount. If this amount is not a whole number of Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid (a) that number of Shares which equals the nearest whole number less than such amount plus (b) an amount of cash which the General Partner determines, in its reasonable discretion, to represent the fair value of the remaining fractional Share which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner. The Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter or the Bylaws, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement with respect to such Shares entered into by the Redeeming Partner. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 8.7.C(i) ), the Redeeming Partner shall be deemed the owner of such Shares for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date. In addition, the Shares for which the Partnership Units might be exchanged shall also bear such restrictive legends that the General Partner determines are appropriate to mark transfer, ownership or other restrictions and limitations applicable to the Shares.

-75-

C. Exceptions to Exercise of Redemption Right .

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, a Limited Partner (a) shall not be entitled to effect a Redemption for cash or an exchange for Shares to the extent the ownership or right to acquire Shares pursuant to such exchange by such Limited Partner on the Specified Redemption Date could cause such Limited Partner or any other Person to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in the Charter of the General Partner and (b) shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. To the extent any attempted exercise of the Redemption Right or exchange for Shares would be in violation of this Section 8.7.C(i) , it shall be null and void ab initio and such Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such exercise of such Redemption Right or the Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall, and shall cause the Partnership to, take reasonable steps to cooperate with any Limited Partner who exercises the Redemption Right to structure any such Redemption that would otherwise violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in the Charter of the General Partner in a manner that will permit the Redemption without violating such restrictions. Such steps may include (x) satisfying the Redemption of any Partnership Units with respect to which the issuance of Shares would result in the violation of the restrictions on ownership through the payment of the Cash Amount, (y) the General Partner selling in a registered or private offering Shares and causing the Redemption of Partnership Units with the proceeds from such sales, or (z) otherwise structuring any sales by holders of Shares in a registered offering in manner that would not result in a Limited Partner violating the ownership restrictions set forth in the Charter of the General Partner.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.7.A and 8.7.B , a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.7.A if (but only as long as) the delivery of Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date would be prohibited under applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or regulations (in each case regardless of whether the General Partner would in fact assume and satisfy the Redemption Right).

D. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.7.C ), with respect to any exercise of the Redemption Right or exchange for Shares pursuant to this Section 8.7 : (i) all Partnership Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant thereto shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be General Partnership Interests comprised of the same number and class of Partnership Units; (ii) without the consent of the General Partner, each Limited Partner may exercise the Redemption Right only one time in each fiscal quarter; (iii) without the consent of the General Partner, each Limited Partner may not exercise its Redemption Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Units or, if the Limited Partner holds less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner; (iv) without the consent of the General Partner, each Limited Partner may not exercise its Redemption Right during the period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to its Stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution; (v) the consummation of any exercise of the Redemption Right or

-76-

exchange for Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; and (vi) each Redeeming Partner shall continue to own all Partnership Units subject to any Redemption or exchange for Shares, and be treated as a Limited Partner with respect to such Partnership Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Partnership Units are transferred to the General Partner and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, the Redeeming Partner shall have no rights as a Stockholder with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units.

E. No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption . Each Limited Partner covenants to the Partnership and the General Partner that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, free and clear of all liens; and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any liens. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, if any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Partnership Units to the Partnership or the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

F. Additional Partnership Interests . If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV , the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.7 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such Partnership Interests (including setting forth any restrictions on the exercise of the Redemption Right with respect to such Partnership Interests).

A. General . The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c)(3) of the Code,

-78-

upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address, taxpayer identification number and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and any Assignees; provided , however , that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners.

B. Powers . The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);

(ii) if a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the filing of a complaint for refund with the United States Claims Court or the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located;

Section 10.4 [Reserved]

Section 10.5 Withholding

Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Section 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 or 1471-1474 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5 . If a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate under the laws of the State of Texas) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full.

Section 10.6 Code Section 83 Safe Harbor Election

By executing this Agreement, each Partner authorizes and directs the Partnership to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “ Notice ”) apply to any LTIP Units and any other interest in the Partnership transferred to a service provider by the Partnership on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the Partnership. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the tax matters partner is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Partnership and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the tax matters partner constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the Notice. The Partnership and each Partner hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice, including the requirement that each Partner shall prepare and file all U.S. federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each “Safe Harbor Partnership Interest” (as described in Section 3.02 of the Notice) issued by the Partnership in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Notice. Each Partner authorizes the tax matters partner to amend this Section 10.6 to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Partnership transferred to a service provider by the Partnership in connection with services provided to the Partnership as set forth in Section 4 of the Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the Notice in subsequent IRS guidance), provided , that such amendment is not materially adverse to any Partner (as compared with the after-tax consequences that would result if the provisions of the Notice applied to all interests in the Partnership transferred to a service provider by the Partnership in connection with services provided to the Partnership).

Section 10.7 Limitation to Preserve REIT Status

To the extent that any amount paid or credited to the General Partner or any of its officers, trustees, employees or agents pursuant to Section 7.4 or Section 7.7 would constitute gross income to the General Partner for purposes of Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code (a “ General Partner Payment ”) then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such General Partner Payment for any Fiscal Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

A. an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 4% of the General Partner’s total gross income (not including the amount of any General Partner Payment) for the Fiscal Year over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code) derived by the General Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code (not including the amount of any General Partner Payment); or

B. an amount equal to the excess, if any of (a) 24% of the General Partner’s total gross income (not including the amount of any General Partner Payment) for the Fiscal Year over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code) derived by the General Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code (not including the amount of any General Partner Payment); provided , however , that General Partner Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in paragraphs A. and B. above may be made if the General Partner, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts would not adversely affect the General Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent General Partner Payments

-81-

may not be made in any Fiscal Year due to the foregoing limitations, such General Partner Payments shall carry over and be treated as arising in the following Fiscal Year; provided however , that (i) as General Partner Payments are made, such payments shall be applied first to carry over amounts outstanding, if any, and (ii) with respect to carry over amounts for more than one Fiscal Year, such payments shall be applied to the earliest Fiscal Year first.

Section 10.8 Certain Taxes

The Partnership will pay any and all U.S. federal and state documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer (but not income) taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Units on the conversion of Class A Units and Class C Units pursuant to Section 4.6 ; provided , however , that the Partnership shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any registration or transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Units in a name other than that of the registered Holder of Class A Units and/or Class C Units converted or to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Partnership the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Partnership, that such tax has been paid.

C. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XI (other than Section 11.6.E hereof), the General Partner may Transfer all of its Partnership Interests at any time to any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, an Affiliate of the General Partner, including any “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code), without the Consent of any Limited Partners. The provisions of Section 11.2.B , 11.3 , 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not apply to any Transfer permitted by this Section 11.2.C .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Limited Partner may, at any time, without prior notice to the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to the General Partner or, subject to Section 11.3.C-E and Section 11.6 , any Permitted Transferee. Any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee will require coordination with the General Partner to ensure that such Transfer does not violate Section 11.3.C-E and Section 11.6 , and the General Partner may require, as a condition to any such Transfer, reasonable assurances that no such violation has occurred.

It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (excluding pledges of a Partnership Interest, but including any transfer of the pledged Partnership Interest, whether to the secured party or otherwise, pursuant to the secured party’s exercise of its remedies under such pledge or the related loan or extension of credit) that (i) 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, (ii) no such Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, a Transfer to a Qualified Transferee or a Transfer pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, and (iii) such Transfer is effective as of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take the Transferred Partnership Interest subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 .

-84-

B. Incapacitated Limited Partners . If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

C. No Transfers Violating Securities Laws . The General Partner may prohibit any Transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner unless the Partnership receives a written opinion of legal counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership) to such Limited Partner or the Partnership (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner) that such Transfer would not require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act, would not require the General Partner to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, would not require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and would not otherwise violate any U.S. federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the General Partner, the Partnership or the Partnership Units.

D. No Transfers Affecting Tax Status of Partnership . No Transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner (including a redemption or exchange pursuant to Section 8.7 ) may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would create a material risk of the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or would result in a termination of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.2 ), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the General Partner, 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 856, Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code or (iii) such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code (provided that this clause (iii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8.7 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).

E. No Transfers to Holders of Nonrecourse Liabilities . No pledge or other Transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability unless (i) the General Partner is provided notice thereof and (ii) the lender enters into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Redemption Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

-85-

Section 11.4 Substituted Limited Partners

A. Consent of General Partner . No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in its place. The General Partner shall, however , have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion; provided , that in the case of a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee or a Transfer to a Qualified Transferee, the General Partner shall have no right to consent to the admission of such Permitted Transferee or Qualified Transferee, as applicable, as a Substituted Limited Partner if such Permitted Transferee or Qualified Transferee assumes all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Partnership Units. If the General Partner denies admission of a proposed transferee of Partnership Units, the General Partner shall provide to the transferor or proposed transferor of such Partnership Units written notice setting forth the reasons for such denial.

B. Rights of Substituted Limited Partner . A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be conditioned upon the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission.

C. Partner Registry . Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall include the name, address, Capital Account and number and class of Partnership Units of such Substituted Limited Partner on the Partner Registry and eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Account and number and class of Partnership Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner on the Partner Registry.

Section 11.5 Assignees

If the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 , such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the LP Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain, loss and Recapture Income attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, and shall have the rights granted to the Limited Partners under Section 8.7 , 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). If any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

If any Partnership Interest is transferred during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article XI or redeemed pursuant to Section 8.7 , Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly, or a monthly proration period, in which event Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such Fiscal Year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner). Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer or redemption occurs shall be allocated to the Person who is a Partner as of midnight on the last day of said month. All distributions of Cash From Operations attributable to any Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Transfer other than a redemption, all distributions of Cash From Operations thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.

E. Additional Restrictions . In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, including the provisions of this Article XI , in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to Section 8.7 ) be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any Person 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 U.S. federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.2 ); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, such Transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.2 ); (vi) if such Transfer would cause the

-87-

Partnership Interests of Benefit Plan Investors to become “significant,” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulation or would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any Benefit Plan Investor, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (viii) 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 (viii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8.7 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); (ix) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act or the Advisers Act; (x) such Transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to remain qualified as a REIT; or (xi) if in the opinion of legal counsel for the transferring Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership) or legal counsel for the Partnership, such Transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any taxes under Section 856, Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

F. Avoidance of “Publicly Traded Partnership” Status . 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 Redemption Right in accordance with the terms of Section 8.7 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.

G. Indemnification .

(i) The transferor and transferee of a Partner’s interest shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Partnership for all expenses (including legal fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Partnership in connection with any Transfer. If, under Applicable Law, a Transfer of an interest in the Partnership that does not comply with this Article XI is nevertheless legally effective, the transferor and transferee shall be

-88-

jointly and severally liable to the Partnership for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership against, any losses, damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such Transfer.

(ii) To the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and all other Partners who were or are parties, or are threatened to be made parties, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of or arising from any actual or alleged misrepresentation, misstatement of facts or omission to state facts made (or omitted to be made), noncompliance with any agreement or failure to perform any covenant by any such Partner in connection with any Transfer of all or any portion of such Partner’s interest (or any economic interest therein) in the Partnership, against any losses, damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by it or them in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and for which it or they have not otherwise been reimbursed.

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 the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

-91-

Section 13.2 Winding Up

A. General . Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, if there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (the “ Liquidator ”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include equity or other securities of the General Partner or any other Entity) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;

(ii) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s liabilities to the General Partner;

(iii) Third, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s liabilities to the Limited Partners;

(iv) Fourth, to the Holders of Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution upon liquidation in accordance with the rights of any such class or series of Partnership Units, including Preferred Units (and, within each such class or series, to each holder thereof pro rata based on the proportion of the total number of outstanding units of such class or series represented by such holder’s units of such series or class) and as otherwise provided in Article V ; and

(v) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, after taking into account all adjustments to their Capital Accounts for all periods.

It is the intention of the Partners that distributions made pursuant to clause (v) of this Section 13.2.A shall be made in the same manner as if such distributions were made pursuant to Section 5.1 .

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII .

B. Deferred Liquidation . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A , undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in-kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in-kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in-kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

Section 13.3 Compliance With Timing Requirements of Regulations; Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts

A. Timing of Distributions . If the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made under this

-92-

Article XIII to the General Partner and Limited Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). In the discretion of the General Partner, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article XIII 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 of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership (in which case 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 General Partner, 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 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 amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners as soon as practicable.

B. Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts Upon Liquidation of the Partnership . If any Partner has a deficit balance in its 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, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected Partner and the Partnership after the date hereof.

Section 13.4 Rights of Limited Partners

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, 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. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations.

Section 13.5 Notice of Dissolution

If a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for 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 and to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner).

Section 13.6 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 , the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all

-93-

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.

Section 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 , 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.

Section 13.8 Waiver of Partition

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

Section 13.9 Liability of Liquidator

The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership in the same manner and to the same degree as a Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7 .

The General Partner shall seek the written vote of the Partners on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written vote, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a vote which is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal. Except as provided in this Agreement (including Sections 14.1.B , 14.1.C and 14.1.D ), a proposed amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is approved by the General Partner and it receives the Consent of Partners holding a majority of the Partnership Units (including Partnership Units held by the General Partner).

B. Amendments Not Requiring Limited Partner Approval . Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A , the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of the Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

(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;

-94-

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

(iii) to set forth the designations, rights, powers, duties, and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article IV ;

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

(v) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a U.S. federal, state or local agency or contained in U.S. federal, state or local law;

(vi) to change the name of the Partnership, the location of the principal place of business of the Partnership, the registered agent of the Partnership or the registered office of the Partnership;

(vii) to effect a change that, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, is necessary or appropriate to qualify or continue the qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the opinion of the General Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxed as an Entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(viii) to effect a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Partnership and any changes that, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, are necessary or appropriate as a result of a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Partnership;

(ix) to adopt an amendment that is necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, to prevent the Partnership or the General Partner or its directors or officers from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act or the Advisers Act;

(x) to take such actions contemplated in Section 7.9.E(ii );

(xi) to adopt any amendment expressly permitted in this Agreement to be made by the General Partner acting alone;

(xii) to reflect such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to avoid the Partnership assets being treated for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code as assets of any “employee benefit plan” as defined in and subject to ERISA or of any “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of succeeding law) or to avoid the Partnership’s engaging in a prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code;

-95-

(xiii) to the extent the taxation of the “carried interest” of the Holders of Class B Units is adversely affected by any change in Applicable Law, as determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to achieve tax efficiency with respect to the carried interest so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the interest of any Partner; and

(xiv) to effect any other amendments of a substantially similar nature to the foregoing.

The General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 14.1.B is taken in the next regular communication to the Limited Partners; provided , however , that no notice need be given of any amendment of this Agreement to reflect the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, notwithstanding any other means by which the General Partner may provide any such notice to the Limited Partners, such notice requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon the filing with the Commission by the Partnership of any amendment to this Agreement permitted under this Section 14.1.B as an exhibit to (i) a registration statement filed by the Partnership under the Securities Act or (ii) any report or other document filed by the Partnership under the Exchange Act.

C. Other Amendments Requiring Limited Partner Approval .

Until the Mandatory Conversion Date, no amendment hereto that adversely affects the Class B Units will be effected without the Consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Class B Units.

D. Minimum Vote for Certain Amendments . Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 14.1.A and 14.1.B , no provision of this Agreement that establishes a minimum Percentage Interest of Partnership Units (or any class or series thereof) required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect that would have the effect of reducing such voting requirement unless such amendment is approved by the written consent or the affirmative vote of holders of such Percentage Interest that constitutes not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced. No amendment to this Agreement, nor any adoption of a new limited partnership agreement in lieu of this Agreement, may be effected by a merger, consolidation or other extraordinary transaction involving the Partnership unless such amendment or the adoption of such new limited partnership agreement has been approved in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.1 .

-96-
