Section 2.1. Capital Contributions .

(a) Capital Contributions . Upon the execution of this Agreement, each Partner shall be deemed to have contributed on the Effective Date to the Partnership the Capital Contributions set forth opposite such Partner’s name on Exhibit B as of the date indicated thereon. Such Capital Contributions have been made to fund $925,866,142 for the purchase price for the Acquisition (the “ Purchase Price ”), and an additional amount to fund costs associated with the closing of the Acquisition (the “ Closing ”), debt origination fees and a pre-funding of Expenses of the Partnership.

(b) Additional Capital Contributions Regarding Cumulative Net Shortfall . The Partners acknowledge that the Capital Contributions made on the Effective Date to the Partnership include an additional amount that is intended to cover, among other items, certain shortfalls in Net Operating Income of the Subsidiary REIT and its Subsidiaries and to cover the payment of the Asset Management Fee (as such term is defined in the Asset Management Agreement), in each case, for each Fiscal Quarter as shown on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto. If, as of the end of any given Fiscal Quarter on or after the fourth full Fiscal Quarter following the Effective Date, the Partnership generates a Cumulative Net Shortfall that is less than zero ($0), any such Cumulative Net Shortfall shall be funded as follows:

(i) First, by deducting from the Opening Bank Balance an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the absolute value of the Cumulative Net Shortfall and (y) the Opening Bank Balance (the amount, if any, by which the absolute value of the Cumulative Net Shortfall exceeds the Opening Bank Balance, the “ Cumulative Net Shortfall, Post-Bank, Pre-AM Fee Deferral Amount ”);

(ii) Second, any Asset Management Fee due and payable, with respect to such Fiscal Quarter, shall be deferred in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the absolute value of such Cumulative Net Shortfall, Post-Bank, Pre-AM Fee Deferral Amount for such Fiscal Quarter and (y) the Asset Management Fee due and owing for such Fiscal Quarter (the amount as determined pursuant to clause (x) or clause (y), as applicable, plus any additional amounts of Asset Management Fees deferred with respect to such Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section  4.3(c) , the “ Deferred Asset Management Fees ”), which Deferred Asset Management Fees shall not bear interest or other penalty. Any Deferred Asset Management Fees shall continue to be deferred until the earlier of (i) the liquidation of the Partnership, (ii) termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iii) any Fiscal Quarter in which the Cumulative Net Surplus is greater than zero ($0); provided , that the Partnership shall pay the lesser of (1) the Cumulative Net Surplus and (2) the Deferred Asset Management Fees Balance, in each case, only until the Deferred Asset Management Fees Balance is reduced to zero ($0) (any such amount of Deferred Asset Management Fees paid in accordance with this proviso, with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, the “ Recovered Asset Management Fees ”);

(iii) Third, if the amount of the Cumulative Net Shortfall is not funded in full by actions taken pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, then, at the option of the Common Partners, the Common Partners may make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership to fund the amount of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall;

(iv) Fourth, if the amount of the Cumulative Net Shortfall is not funded in full by actions taken pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, then, at the option of each Preferred Partner, a Preferred Partner may make additional Capital Contributions (“ Shortfall Contributions ”) to the Partnership to fund the amount of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall, which Shortfall Contributions shall not reduce the funding Partners’ respective Remaining Capital Commitments (it being understood that the Partnership shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, any such Shortfall Contributions to the Subsidiary REIT as a “Shortfall Contribution” (as such term is defined in the Subsidiary REIT Agreement)). Shortfall Contributions shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the Preferred Partners’ relative Percentage Interests; provided , that, to the extent any Preferred Partner elects not to fund their pro rata portion, the other Preferred Partners that elected to fund their pro rata portion shall be offered the opportunity to fund the remaining Shortfall Contributions needed to fund the full amount of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall as set forth below; and

4

(v) Fifth, if the amount of the Cumulative Net Shortfall is not funded in full by actions taken pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, then, at the option of the Common Partners, the Common Partners may make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership to fund the amount of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall.

An example calculation of Cumulative Net Shortfall is set forth on Exhibit C-3 . The General Partner shall cause any Cumulative Net Shortfall amounts funded by the Partners pursuant to this Section  2.1(b) to be funded by the Partnership to the Subsidiary REIT in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Subsidiary REIT Agreement.

(c) Shortfall Notices . The General Partner (x) may, at its option, provide notice to the Partners of any forecasted Cumulative Net Shortfall for a Fiscal Quarter that is not able to be funded from the Pre-Funded Expense Account (as such term is defined in the Subsidiary REIT Agreement) for such Fiscal Quarter if the General Partner becomes aware of the possibility of such Cumulative Net Shortfall and (y) shall, forty-five (45) days following the end of each Fiscal Quarter, provide notice to the Partners of any actual Cumulative Net Shortfall during such Fiscal Quarter (each notice delivered under clause (x) or (y), a “ Shortfall Notice ”). Each Shortfall Notice shall include (1) the total Cumulative Net Shortfall (or forecasted Cumulative Net Shortfall, as the case may be) and the applicable Fiscal Quarter, (2) the amount of Asset Management Fees to be deferred pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(i) and (ii) in respect thereof, (3) the amount of any additional Capital Contribution being made by the Common Partners pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(iii) in respect thereof, and (4) the remaining amount of the Cumulative Net Shortfall after giving effect to funding pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(i) , Section  2.1(b)(ii) and Section  2.1(b)(iii) , as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Asset Management Fees deferred, Capital Contributions made by the Common Partners or use of or any diminution of the Opening Bank Balance or Ending Bank Balance, as applicable, pursuant to Section  2.1(b) or Section  4.3(c) shall be considered to occur with respect to the applicable Fiscal Quarter, notwithstanding that they may be made following the end of such Fiscal Quarter.

(d) Offering Period for Shortfall Contributions . The Preferred Partners shall then have ten (10) Business Days following the date of such Shortfall Notice with respect to Section  2.1(b)(iv) (the “ Initial Offering Period ”) to elect whether to provide their share of Capital Contributions pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(iv) to fund such remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall. To the extent that any Preferred Partner elects not to fund their pro rata portion of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall, the General Partner shall provide a re-offer notice to the other Preferred Partners that elected to fund their pro rata portion of the applicable Shortfall Contribution, and such other Preferred Partners shall have the right to fund all or a portion of such remainder (based on the amount of such remainder that each such Preferred Partner elected to purchase relative to all electing Preferred Partners) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such re-offer notice (the “ Additional Offering Period ”). Any failure by a Preferred Partner to make an election within the relevant time periods set forth in this Section  2.1(d) shall be deemed to be an election not to fund any portion of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall under Section  2.1(b)(iv) and the relevant Shortfall Notice. Following the end of the Initial Offering Period or, if applicable, the Additional Offering Period, the General Partner shall be permitted to issue a Capital Call Notice pursuant to Section  2.1(e) in respect of the amounts elected to be funded under Section  2.1(b)(iv) . Following the end of the Additional Offering Period, if total funding after giving effect to funding pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(i) , Section  2.1(b)(ii) , Section  2.1(b)(iii) and Section  2.1(b)(iv) is insufficient to fund the Cumulative Net Shortfall, the Common Partners may (but shall not be required to) make additional Capital Contributions under Section  2.1(b)(v) to the Partnership to fund the amount of the remaining Cumulative Net Shortfall.

5

(e) Capital Call Notices . With respect to each Capital Contribution that a Partner elects to make pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(iii) or Section  2.1(b)(iv) , the General Partner shall issue a written capital call notice (a “ Capital Call Notice ”) to each applicable Partner setting forth the following information: (i) the total amount of capital to be contributed by the Partners; (ii) the amount that such Partner must contribute in respect of such Capital Call Notice, noting the provision of this Agreement under which such amount is being called; (iii) the purpose for such Capital Contribution; and (iv) the date on which such Capital Contribution must be made, which date (1) shall be a Business Day and (2) shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days following the date of such Capital Call Notice. To the extent there exists a Cumulative Net Shortfall for a Fiscal Quarter and the General Partner does not provide a Shortfall Notice to the other Partners as required by clause (y) of Section  2.1(c) within sixty (60) days following the end of such Fiscal Quarter, a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners may direct the General Partner to issue (or may otherwise cause to be issued) such Shortfall Notice (and the corresponding re-offer notice pursuant to Section  2.1(d) , as applicable), as well as any Capital Call Notice contemplated by this Section  2.1(e) , in respect of such Cumulative Net Shortfall.

Section 2.2. Treatment of Defaulting Partner .

(a) Default . If any Partner fails to fund any Capital Contribution that a Partner elects to make pursuant to Section  2.1(b)(iii) , Section  2.1(b)(iv) or Section  2.2(b) , within the period set forth in the applicable Capital Call Notice, such Partner shall be considered a “ Defaulting Partner ” but only to the extent such Partner has received a subsequent Failure to Fund Notice and has not funded its share of the applicable Capital Contribution within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such Failure to Fund Notice. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, a Partner that has become a Defaulting Partner shall not be entitled to any additional grace period in which to cure the default and pay its required Capital Contribution. The portion of such Capital Contribution that such Defaulting Partner was required to make and did not actually fund is referred to herein as the “ Unfunded Amount .”

(b) Remedies Generally . Unfunded Amounts may be funded as follows:

(i) First, each Preferred Partner that fully funded its required Capital Contribution that is not an Affiliate of the Defaulting Partner (each, a “ Contributing Partner ”) shall have the right (without obligation), within thirty (30) days from notice from the General Partner of an outstanding Unfunded Amount, to elect to make, with respect to an Unfunded Amount that relates to a failure to fund under Section  2.1(b)(iii) or Section  2.1(b)(iv) , a Capital Contribution of all or a portion of the payment of the Unfunded Amount (any such amount contributed under (x) or (y), a “ Replacement Contribution ”) to the Partnership to fund such Unfunded Amount, which Replacement Contributions shall not reduce the Contributing Partners’ respective Remaining Capital Commitments. If more than one Contributing Partner elects to make a Replacement Contribution pursuant to this Section  2.2(b)(i) , such Contributing Partners will fund up to their pro rata share, based on the Preferred Partners’ relative Percentage Interests (taking into account only

6

the Capital Contributions of the participating Preferred Partners), of such Replacement Contribution, in an aggregate collective amount equal to the Unfunded Amount. If only one Contributing Partner elects to make a Replacement Contribution, the electing Contributing Partner shall fund the Replacement Contribution in the applicable amount proposed by such Partner for the Replacement Contribution. Any failure to make an election within the relevant time period set forth in this Section  2.2(b)(i) shall be deemed to be an election not to make a Replacement Contribution in respect of the applicable Unfunded Amount under the relevant notice. To the extent that all of the Preferred Partners do not elect to make Replacement Contributions pursuant to the preceding sentences of this Section  2.2(b)(i) , the General Partner will offer the Preferred Partners who elected to make Replacement Contributions, within five (5) days of the expiration of the 30-day period above, the option to make the remainder of the Replacement Contributions (based on the amount of such remainder offered relative to the other such participating Preferred Partners) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such offer.

(ii) Second, if no Preferred Partner elects to fund a Replacement Contribution in respect of such outstanding Unfunded Amount pursuant to Section  2.2(b)(i) or the aggregate amounts funded in connection with such Replacement Contributions are less than the Unfunded Amount, if none of the Common Partners is the Defaulting Partner or an Affiliate thereof, the Common Partners shall have the right (without obligation) to make a Replacement Contribution to the Partnership or to permit a third party to make a Replacement Contribution to the Partnership to fund the remaining amount of the Unfunded Amount, which Replacement Contribution shall not reduce the Common Partners’ Remaining Capital Commitments (without the need for approval as a Major Decision).

(c) Default Date and Default Period . The day that a Partner becomes a Defaulting Partner is referred to herein as the “ Default Date .” The Defaulting Partner shall be deemed to have cured the default at such time as if Replacement Contributions were made in respect of such default pursuant to Section  2.2(b)(i) or Section  2.2(b)(ii) , if (i) each Contributing Partner actually receives from the Defaulting Partner full repayment of any Replacement Contributions made by such Contributing Partner; and (ii) each Contributing Partner actually receives from the Defaulting Partner (A) an amount of interest equal to ten and one-quarter percent (10.25%) per annum, compounded on the last day of each calendar year, on such Contributing Partner’s Replacement Contributions, and (B) an amount of interest equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum over the Reference Rate, compounded on the last day of each calendar year, on such Contributing Partner’s Replacement Contributions, in each case, for the Default Period taking into account the amount of Replacement Contributions remaining unpaid on each day of such period (such amounts payable under this clause (ii) of this Section  2.2(c) , the “ Default Return ”; the applicable date of repayment under clause (i) and (ii) of this Section  2.2(c) , the “ Cure Date ”; and the period from the Default Date until the Cure Date (if applicable), the “ Default Period ”).

(d) Action for Breach of Contract . The rights and remedies provided for in this Section  2.2 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights available to the non-Defaulting Partners or the Partnership under this Agreement or at law or in equity. In addition, neither such Defaulting Partner nor any other Partner shall be relieved of its obligation to make any Capital Contributions then or thereafter due. The Partnership shall have the right to immediately institute legal action against the Defaulting Partner for monies due to the Partnership under this Agreement, plus all costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the Partnership in the institution and prosecution of such action.

7

(e) Termination of Rights . During the Default Period, if applicable, (i) if the Common Partners are the Defaulting Partners, then the Common Partners shall not be entitled to exercise the rights set forth under Section  4.15 , (ii) a Defaulting Partner and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to participate in the right of first offer under Section  5.3 or the tag-along rights under Section  5.4 , (iii) a Defaulting Partner and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to participate in any Shortfall Contribution, and (iv) a Defaulting Partner and its Affiliates shall forfeit to the Partnership (for the account of the Contributing Partners in repayment of the Replacement Contributions made thereby in respect of such Defaulting Partner and the Default Return thereon) and shall not be entitled to participate in any distribution with respect to Shortfall Return Interests, Preferred Return Interests, Common Return Interests or Residual Interests. The Partnership shall distribute to the Contributing Partners, pro rata in proportion to their relative Replacement Contributions in respect of such Defaulting Partner, any amounts otherwise distributable to the Defaulting Partner which have been forfeited under clause (iv) of this Section  2.2(e) .

(f) Matters Relating to Default .

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section  2.2 , in the event that the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof is the Defaulting Partner, then, for purposes of the application of this Section  2.2 , any action to be taken or determination to be made by the General Partner pursuant to this Section  2.2 shall instead be taken or made by a Person to be designated by a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners.

(ii) During the Default Period, (1) the Defaulting Partner and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to participate in any vote, consent or decision of the Partners that is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the Act, including for purposes of amendments of this Agreement, and any such vote, consent or decision shall be tabulated or made as if such Defaulting Partner were not a Partner, and its then-current Board Members shall not be entitled to take any action in such capacity and shall not be counted towards quorum requirements, (2) the Defaulting Partner and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to appoint Board Members pursuant to Section  4.3 , and (3) any actions taken by the Board while a Partner which has rights to appoint one or more Board Members is a Defaulting Partner shall be taken by the Board as if each Board Member appointed by such Partner were not a Board Member.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the General Partner, CTT Partner or any of their respective Affiliates acquires any Preferred Interests from any of the Preferred Partners, then such Party shall not be entitled to vote with respect to such Preferred Interests hereunder or to designate any Board Members with respect to such Preferred Interests.

(g) Remedies Reasonable . Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that the remedies described in this Section  2.2 bear a reasonable relationship to the damages that the Partners estimate may be suffered by the Partnership and the non-Defaulting Partners by reason of the failure of a Defaulting Partner to make a required Capital Contribution in accordance with Section  2.1 and that the election of any or all of the above-described remedies is not unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof. The election to pursue any remedy

8

provided in this Section  2.2 shall not be a waiver or limitation of the right to pursue an additional or different remedy available hereunder or of law or equity with respect to any subsequent default. Each Partner specifically agrees that it shall not have any legal cause of action against any non-Defaulting Partner or any Board Member appointed by a non-Defaulting Partner on account of its good faith selection of or failure to select any one or more remedies.

Section 2.3. Return of or on Capital Contributions . Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) no Partner shall receive any return or distribution of its Capital Contributions, (b) no Partner shall receive any interest or other return on or with respect to its Capital Contributions and (c) no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions.

Section 2.4. Return of Distributions .

(a) Except as required by the Act or other applicable Law, or in the case of manifest error in calculation, no Partner shall be required to repay to the Partnership, any Partner or any creditor of the Partnership all or any part of the distributions (including liquidating distributions) made to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) If, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is determined under the Act or other applicable Law that any Partner has received a distribution which is required to be returned to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership, then the obligation of such Partner to return all or any part of a distribution made to such Partner shall be the obligation of such Partner and not of any other Partner; provided , that to the extent any Partner is required by the Act or other applicable Law to return to the Partnership any distributions made to it and does so, such Partner shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, have a right of contribution from each other Partner similarly liable to return distributions made to it under the Act or other applicable Law to the extent that such Partner has returned a greater percentage of the total distributions made to it and so required to be returned by it than the percentage of the total distributions made to such other Partner and so required to be returned by it.

(c) Any amount returned by a Partner pursuant to this Section  2.4 shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution for purposes of this Agreement, but shall be treated as if such returned amount was not previously distributed to such Partner; provided , that such returned amount shall not be treated as accruing a return hereunder while such amounts were held by the Partner.

Section 2.5. Fees and Expenses .

(a) The Partnership shall bear all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership, the General Partner (in its capacity as such) or other Persons authorized by the General Partner to act on the Partnership’s behalf relating to the activities and operations of the Partnership that are permitted to be incurred in accordance with this Agreement (“ Expenses ”), whether such costs and expenses were incurred prior to or following the Effective Date, including:

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section  4.10 ), the Subsidiary REIT Board shall have the sole and exclusive authority to manage the operations of the Subsidiary REIT and its Subsidiaries and it shall not be in breach or contravention of this Agreement if the Subsidiary REIT or any of its Subsidiaries takes any action (or fail to take any action) approved by the Subsidiary REIT Board in accordance with the Subsidiary REIT Agreement.

16

(e) The Partnership (and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable) shall maintain, at the expense of the Partnership, directors and officers liability insurance with limits and deductibles, and other terms applicable thereto, covering the Partnership, the Board and the Subsidiary REIT Board, as approved by the Board as a Major Decision.

The Partnership shall provide any Board Observer with written notice of each meeting of the Board at the same time and in the same manner as notice is provided to the Board Members. Any Board Observer shall be entitled to receive all written materials and other written information (including minutes of all Board meetings) provided to the Board in connection with such meeting at the same time such materials and information are provided to the Board and prompt notice of any action taken by written consent of the Board; provided , that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership may withhold any documents, materials or other information from, or exclude from any meetings of the Board (or portions thereof), any Board Observer if the Board determines on the advice of counsel that access to such information or attendance at such meeting would, or may be reasonably likely to, adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Partnership and its counsel to preserve the confidentiality of the Partnership’s trade secrets, know-how or other confidential information of or relating to the Partnership that would give such Board Observer an unfair competitive advantage. Each Board Observer shall be an individual, but need not be a Partner or officer or an employee, consultant, independent contractor or agent of the applicable Partner.

(g) In the event that any Preferred Partner (a “ Transferring Preferred Partner ”) Transfers, in one or in a series of related transactions, a portion of its Initial Holdings on a basis that is not pro rata with all other Preferred Partners, resulting in the remaining Initial Holdings of such Transferring Preferred Partner being equal to or less than 75% of the remaining Initial Holdings of the Preferred Partner with the largest remaining Initial Holdings, then the Transferring Preferred Partner shall lose its right to appoint a Board Member; provided , however , that if immediately after such Transfer another Preferred Partner owns a smaller percentage of the outstanding Preferred Interests than such Transferring Preferred Partner and such other Preferred Partner has the right to appoint a Board Member, then such Transferring Preferred Partner shall retain its right to appoint a Board Member pursuant to Section  4.3 . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed by all Board Members, the total number of the Board Members designated by the Preferred Partners shall not be greater than four (4). For the avoidance of doubt, at any time that the numbers of Board Members designated by the Preferred Partners is reduced to two (2), then any applicable provisions of this Agreement requiring the consent of a majority of the Board Members designated by the Preferred Partners shall continue in full force and effect and any applicable decision shall require the consent of both such Board Members designated by the Preferred Partners.

17

(h) If the individual appointed by [***] is not [***] (or any appointed successor as approved pursuant to this Section  4.3 ), such individual shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the other Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners. Such other Board Members shall work in good faith with [***] to agree on an individual proposed by [***] acceptable to such other Board Members to replace [***] (or any approved successor as approved pursuant to this Section  4.3 ); provided , that if the parties cannot reach agreement on such individual within ninety (90) days, [***] shall lose its right under Section  4.3 to appoint a Board Member.

The resignation of any Board Member shall take effect upon the Partnership’s receipt of such notice or at such later time as shall be specified in the notice.

(b) A Board Member shall be removed from office automatically upon his or her death. A Board Member may be removed from office with or without cause by the Partner(s) who appointed the Board Member. Additionally, at such time as any Partner no longer holds a Partnership Interest in the Partnership, there shall be a deemed delivery of notice of removal of the Board Members appointed by the former Partner.

(c) Any vacancy occurring on the Board may be filled only by an appointment by the Partner who appointed the Board Member formerly filling such vacancy.

in an advisory, non-voting capacity. Board Members may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. The Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners may request reasonably in advance that a meeting of the Board be held with the individual presence of the Board ( i.e. , other than by conference telephone or other communications equipment by which such persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time), and the General Partner and the Board Members appointed by the CTT Partner shall cause such meeting to be scheduled promptly and have the Board Members appointed by the CTT Partner in attendance in such manner.

(b) No notice is required of regular Board meetings held in accordance with such schedule as may be established by the Board from time to time. It shall be sufficient notice to a Board Member of a special meeting to send notice by overnight courier or e-mail at least ten (10) Business Days before the meeting addressed to such Board Member at his or her usual or last known business or residence address or e-mail address, as applicable, or to give notice in person or by telephone at least ten (10) Business Days before the special meeting. Notice of a special meeting need not be given to any Board Member if a written waiver of notice, executed by him or her before, after or at the special meeting, is filed with the records of the meeting, or to any Board Member who attends the special meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to him or her. Neither notice of a special meeting nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the special meeting. Notice of any special meeting shall be deemed to be delivered, given and received (i) on the date of receipt if delivered personally or by telephone, (ii) on the next day if delivered by overnight courier or (iii) on the date of transmission if transmitted by e-mail.

(c) Subject to Section  2.2(f) , all Board Members appointed by CTT Partner and a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners shall be present in person (by telephone conference or by other communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time as described under Section  4.5(a) ) or by proxy at any meeting of the Board in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting; provided , that, if the Board is operating under the Alternative Voting System, the presence of a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners shall constitute a quorum. If such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Board Members present shall adjourn the meeting and promptly give notice of when it will be reconvened. Action or consent of the Board for purposes of this Agreement shall require the affirmative vote of Board Members holding at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all Board Members, or such other vote as is otherwise set forth under this Agreement (including with respect to Major Decisions).

(d) Subject to Section  2.2(f) , each Board Member may vote either in person or by a proxy which such Board Member has duly executed in writing. No proxy shall be valid after one (1) year from the date of its execution unless a longer period is expressly provided in the proxy. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Board Member may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the relevant meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy, or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date, with the Partnership. Participation in a meeting by proxy in accordance with this Section  4.5(d) shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 4.9. Operations of the Partnership and the Subsidiary REIT .

(a) The Partnership will conduct all of its revenue-producing activities and own the Property through the Subsidiary REIT other than de minimis administrative activities of the General Partner or except as unanimously approved by the Board. The General Partner shall cause Alston & Bird, LLP (or other nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to the Preferred Partners) to deliver a written opinion, dated as of the date of this Agreement, and substantially in the form as set forth on Exhibit L , concluding (subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and representations) that the Subsidiary REIT will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and its proposed method of operations will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. The General Partner shall use reasonable best efforts to enforce Section  5.1(f) to ensure that the Partnership’s ownership of the Subsidiary REIT will not cause the Parent REIT to fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All Capital Contributions received by the Partnership

20

will be promptly contributed to the Subsidiary REIT to the extent not used to fund expenses of the Partnership or held in cash as reserves for such expenses. For the sake of clarity and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Subsidiary REIT will be managed by the Subsidiary REIT Board within the meaning of Section 856(a)(1) of the Code and no right under this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that interferes with such requirement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partners acknowledge that the Partnership’s only power to manage the affairs of the Subsidiary REIT will consist of its right, as the holder of the Subsidiary REIT Units, to elect the members of the Subsidiary REIT Board in accordance with Section  4.3(b) . Each Partner agrees to provide such reasonably requested information as is reasonably determined to be necessary by the Partnership and the Subsidiary REIT (in consultation with their tax advisors) in order to maintain the Subsidiary REIT’s compliance with the REIT Requirements, to determine whether the Subsidiary REIT is a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code, and to ensure compliance with the transfer restrictions contained in Section  5.1(f) hereof.

(b) Upon request by any Partner, the General Partner will provide any information in its possession requested by such Partner relating to whether the Subsidiary REIT is a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code.

(c) The Partners acknowledge that the CTT Partner is indirectly owned by an entity (the “ Parent REIT ”) that is taxed as a REIT and that the assets and income of the Partnership will affect the Parent REIT’s qualification to be taxed as a REIT. For so long as the CTT Partner or an Affiliate thereof is a Partner, the General Partner shall operate the Partnership so as to avoid (i) generating gross income that would not be qualifying income for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code (other than interest income on reserves), (ii) generating gains from “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code or (iii) acquiring assets that would not be qualifying assets for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code.

(d) The Partnership and the Partners agree that it would be desirable that the Subsidiary REIT qualify as of the date hereof as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code (a “ D-REIT ”). Further to such intention, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish and document the Subsidiary REIT’s status as a D-REIT at all relevant times. In the event that the Partnership determines that the Subsidiary REIT does not qualify as a D-REIT or, upon a contemplated change of direct or indirect ownership of Partnership Interests (pursuant to a permitted assignment under Section  5.1(b) or otherwise), would cease to so qualify, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice of such actual or anticipated change to the Partners. The Partners and the Partnership agree that upon receipt of such notice from the Partnership, they will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to permit the Partners to restructure the ownership of their Partnership Interests so as to mitigate any adverse tax impact of such change on the Partners or their direct or indirect owners. For the avoidance of doubt, such commercially reasonable efforts shall be deemed to include consent and cooperation in allowing a Preferred Partner to Transfer its Partnership Interest to an Affiliate or a continuing Preferred Partner prior to the time the Subsidiary REIT would otherwise cease to qualify as a D-REIT; provided , that such Transfer would not cause the Subsidiary REIT to cease to qualify as a REIT (as determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion).

21

Section 4.10. Major Decisions . The following are major decisions with respect to the Partnership (“ Major Decisions ”) that require the approval of a majority of the total votes of all Board Members entitled to vote on such matters; provided , that such majority shall include a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners voting on such matter:

(b) Executing and delivering any guaranty, indemnity or similar agreement on behalf of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries other than (x) in connection with the Senior Credit Documents and (y) with respect to indemnities only, any indemnity which would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Partnership that is entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Partnership.

(d) Creating any liens or encumbrances on all or a portion of the Property or any other Business Asset, other than (i) those related to any permitted Indebtedness and (ii) any Permitted Encumbrances, and approving the form of any documentation in respect thereof    (including any amendment or modification of any such documentation), other than in connection with the Senior Credit Documents.

(f) Entering into any agreement by the Partnership with the General Partner, the Asset Manager or any Affiliate thereof (each a “ Related Party Agreement ”) other than pursuant to Section  4.15 or amending or modifying any agreement set forth in Section  4.15 .

(g) Issuing ownership interests in the Partnership or its Subsidiaries or any admission of any partner of the Partnership after the Effective Date, other than the issuance of Partnership Interests to the Partners or pursuant to a Transfer of Partnership Interests, in each case, that is permitted pursuant to this Agreement (including Article 5 ).

(h) Formation of any new Subsidiary of the Partnership (including entering into any joint venture with one or more third parties) other than formation of wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Partnership to the extent necessary to consummate the Acquisition.

(i) Paying, compromising, litigating, arbitrating or otherwise amending any claim or demand of or against the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries where the amount of the individual claim or demand exceeds $100,000 and the claim or demand is not an ordinary course claim or demand related to payables or receivables, other than where the Partnership’s insurance carrier, in accordance with terms of the Partnership’s insurance policy, is prosecuting or defending the claim or demand and has not disputed any portion of the claim or demand.

As a condition to any voluntary Transfer of a Partnership Interest, the General Partner may require that the Transferring Preferred Partner or the Transferee of the Partnership Interest or their respective representatives provide to the Partnership information that is reasonably requested by counsel to the Partnership to enable such counsel to determine that such Transfer is not prohibited by this Article 5 .

33

(e) Continued Obligations . In no event shall a permitted Transfer be deemed to relieve the Partners who Transfer their Partnership Interests from their obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, including their obligations with respect to Capital Contributions (including Remaining Capital Commitments), except obligations that first arise from and after the date that a Partner Transfers its Partnership Interests and the permitted Transferee becomes a substituted Partner in accordance with Section  5.2 . Subject to the preceding sentence, if all or a portion of the Partnership Interests of a Partner is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Commitment Percentage of the Transferring Preferred Partner to the extent it relates to the Transferred Partnership Interests. If all or a portion of the Partnership Interests of a Partner is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Percentage Interest of the Transferring Preferred Partner to the extent it relates to the Transferred Partnership Interests.

(f) REIT Protections . In the event of any conflict between this Section  5.1(f) and any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section  5.8 ), this Section  5.1(f) shall control.

(i) Restrictions on Transfer .

(1) Until the Restriction Termination Date, any purported Transfer that, if effective, would prevent the Subsidiary REIT from meeting any of the REIT income requirements under Section 856(c) of the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of the Partnership Interests that would prevent such income from so qualifying, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Partnership Interests.

(2) Until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the Subsidiary REIT being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of the Partnership Interests which would cause such result, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Partnership Interests.

(ii) Excess Interests .

(1) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Section  5.1(f) , at any time, until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or other change in the capital structure of the Partnership (as a result of a direct or indirect transfer or otherwise) which, if effective, would cause the Subsidiary REIT to become “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, then the Partnership Interests that are the subject of such Transfer or other event which would cause the Subsidiary REIT to fail such requirement shall constitute “ Excess Interests ” and shall be treated as provided in this Section  5.1(f) . Such designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in capital structure.

34

(2) If, at any time prior to the Restriction Termination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Section  5.1(f) , there is an event (a “ Prohibited Owner Event ”) which would result in the disqualification of the Subsidiary REIT as a REIT by virtue of Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of units of the Subsidiary REIT, then Partnership Interests which result in such disqualification shall be automatically exchanged for an equal number of Excess Interests to the extent necessary to avoid such disqualification. Such exchange shall be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of the Prohibited Owner Event. In determining which Partnership Interests are exchanged, Partnership Interests owned directly or indirectly by any Person who caused the Prohibited Owner Event to occur (such Person, a “ Purported Record Transferee ”) shall be exchanged before any Partnership Interests not so held are exchanged. If similarly situated Persons exist, such exchange shall be pro rata .

(iii) Prevention of Transfer . If the Partnership shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section  5.1(f)(i) or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) or Beneficial Ownership of any Partnership Interests in violation of Section  5.1(f)(i) , the Partnership shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Partnership or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided , however , that any Transfers or attempted Transfers in violation of Section  5.1(f)(i) shall automatically result in the designation and treatment described in Section  5.1(f)(ii) , irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Partnership.

(iv) Notice to the Partnership . Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Partnership Interests in violation of Section  5.1(f)(i) , or any Person who is a transferee such that Excess Interests result under Section  5.1(f)(ii) , shall immediately give written notice or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Partnership of such event and shall provide to the Partnership such other information as the Partnership may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the status of the Subsidiary REIT as a REIT.

(v) Information for Partnership . Until the Restriction Termination Date, each Partner hereby covenants that it shall, upon request, provide the Partnership with all information, certifications, representations and covenants reasonably requested by the Partnership (x) to ensure or ascertain the qualification of the Subsidiary REIT as a REIT, (y) to determine the status of the Subsidiary REIT as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code and (z) to determine compliance with the ownership limits and covenants set forth in this Section  5.1(f) .

(vi) Other Action by Partnership . Nothing contained in this Article 5 (other than Section  5.8 ) shall limit the authority of the Partnership to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Partnership and the interests of their respective members by preservation of the Subsidiary REIT’s status as a REIT.

(vii) Ambiguities . In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section  5.1(f) , including any definitions used therein, the Board shall have the power to interpret and determine the application of the provisions of this Section  5.1(f) with respect to any situation based on the facts known to the Board.

35

(viii) Trust for Excess Interests . Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Interests pursuant to Section  5.1(f)(ii) , such Excess Interests shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Excess Interests Trustee, as trustee of the Excess Interests Trust for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Excess Interests so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Partnership Interests. The Purported Record Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Interests except as provided in Section  5.1(f)(ix) .

(ix) Distributions on Excess Interests . Any distributions (whether as periodic distributions, distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or otherwise) on Excess Interests shall be paid to the Excess Interests Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (i) the amount of any distribution made upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or (ii) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Membership Interests, or if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Membership Interests, the Excess Interests Price of the Partnership Interests on the day of the event causing the Partnership Interests to be held in trust. Any such distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee in excess of the amount provided in the preceding sentence prior to the discovery by the Partnership that the Partnership Interests with respect to which the distribution was made had been exchanged for Excess Interests shall be repaid by the Purported Record Transferee to the Excess Interests Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

(x) Voting of Excess Interests . The Excess Interests Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Excess Interests for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary on any matter. Subject to Delaware law, any vote taken by a Purported Record Transferee prior to the discovery by the Partnership that the Excess Interests were held in trust shall be rescinded ab initio . The owner of the Excess Interests shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Excess Interests Trustee to vote the Excess Interests for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

(xi) Non-Transferability of Excess Interests . Excess Interests shall be transferable only as provided in this Section  5.1(f)(xi) . At the direction of the Partnership, the Excess Interests Trustee shall Transfer the Partnership Interests held in the Excess Interests Trust to a Person whose ownership of the Partnership Interests will not violate, and for whom such Transfer would not be wholly or partially void pursuant to, Section  5.1(f)(i) . Such Transfer shall be made within sixty (60) calendar days after the latest of (i) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Interests and (ii) the date the Board determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Interests has occurred, if the Partnership does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section  5.1(f)(iv) . If such a Transfer is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary. The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Partnership Interests or, if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Partnership Interests, the Excess Interests Price of the Partnership Interests on the day of the event causing the Partnership Interests to be held in trust, and the price received by the Excess Interests Trust from the sale or other disposition of the Partnership Interests. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee shall be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. It is expressly understood that the Purported Record Transferee may enforce the provisions of this Section  5.1(f)(xi) against the Charitable Beneficiary.

36

(xii) Unenforceability . If any of the foregoing restrictions on Transfer of Excess Interests is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Purported Record Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Partnership, to have acted as an agent of the Partnership in acquiring such Excess Interests and to hold such Excess Interests on behalf of the Partnership.

(xiii) Representation . Each of the Partners represents that, as of the date of its acquisition of a Partnership Interest, no Individual with a direct or indirect interest in such Partner will Beneficially Own more than 9.8% of the Partnership and will immediately advise the General Partner if and when such representation is no longer true. For these purposes, the term “ Individual ” means an individual, a trust qualified under Section 401(a) or 501(c)(17) of the Code, a portion of a trust permanently set aside for or to be used exclusively for the purposes described in Section 642(c) of the Code, or a private foundation within the meaning of Section 501(a) of the Code; provided , that, except as set forth in Section 856(h)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, a trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code shall be excluded from this definition.

Section 5.2. Admission of Transferees as Substituted Partners .

(a) Requirements for Admission . No Transferee of a Partner’s Partnership Interest, whether or not such Transfer is permitted under Section  5.1 , shall be entitled to become a substituted Partner unless:

(i) The Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by and shall have accepted, adopted and approved in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended, and executed a power of attorney similar to the power of attorney granted in this Agreement; and

(ii) The Transferee shall pay or obligate itself to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with his admission as a substituted Partner.

(b) Effect of Transfer . If a Partner Transfers all of its Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 , it shall cease to be a partner of the Partnership as of the date that such Transfer is given effect by the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Article 5 . A purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 shall not be given effect for any purpose.

(c) Rights of Transferee . Any Person who is a permitted Transferee of any of the Partnership Interest of a Partner in accordance with the terms of this Article 5 , but who does not become a substituted Partner shall be entitled to all the rights of an Transferee of a Partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of net profits, gain, net losses, loss and any special allocated items attributable to the Partnership Interest Transferred to such Person, but shall not be deemed to be the owner of a Partnership Interest for any other purpose under this Agreement. In the event any such Person desires to make a further Transfer of any such Partnership Interests, such Person shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 5 to the same extent and in the same manner as a Partner.

37

Section 5.3. Right of First Offer . If any Partner (the “ Offering Partner ”) should desire to Transfer all or a portion of its Partnership Interest to any Person other than an Affiliate of such Partner as permitted by Section  5.1(b)(x) , then the other Partners (the “ Offeree Partners ”) shall have a right of first offer as follows:

(a) Offer . The Offering Partner shall submit to the Offeree Partners a binding written offer (the “ Offer ”) to sell to the Offeree Partners the portion of its Partnership Interest proposed to be Transferred (the “ Offered Interest ”), which shall be designated by the Initial Liquidation Value thereof if a Preferred Interest (or, in respect of an Offered Interest other than a Preferred Interest, Capital Contributions relating thereto). The Offer shall include the cash price of the Offered Interest and any other terms of the proposed Transfer. Each Offeree Partner that is a Preferred Partner may provide a written notice (an “ Offer Acceptance Notice ”) to the Partnership within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Offer, specifying all or a portion of such Offeree Partner’s pro rata share of the Offered Interest, based on its Percentage Interest relative to the Percentage Interests of all Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners, that such Offeree Partner wishes to purchase on the terms of the Offer. To the extent that all Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners do not elect to purchase their full pro rata share of the Offered Interest pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the remainder of the Offered Interest will be re-offered within five (5) Business Days to Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners who elected to purchase their full pro rata share, and such Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of such remainder (based on the amount of such remainder that each such Offeree Partner offers to purchase relative to the other such electing Offeree Partners) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such re-offer. To the extent that the Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence, the remainder of the Offered Interest will be re-offered to Offeree Partners that are not Preferred Partners (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Common Partners) (a “ Secondary Re-offer ”). Each Offeree Partner that is not a Preferred Partner may provide an Offer Acceptance Notice to the Partnership within one (1) day after receipt of the Secondary Re-offer, specifying all or a portion of such Offeree Partner’s pro rata share of the Offered Interest, based on its Percentage Interest relative to the Percentage Interests of all Offeree Partners that are not Preferred Partners, that such Offeree Partner wishes to purchase on the terms of the Offer. Any failure to make an election within the relevant time periods set forth herein shall be deemed to be an election not to purchase any portion of the Offered Interest under the relevant Offer, re-offer or Secondary Re-offer.

(i) If the Offeree Partners elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest pursuant to the Offer Acceptance Notices (including the re-offer responses, if applicable), then the accepting Offeree Partners shall be required to purchase the entire Offered Interest in the amounts determined by the process described above.

38

(ii) If the Offeree Partners do not elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest, then, subject to compliance with the other terms of this Agreement, the Offering Partner shall be free to sell the entire Offered Interest to any Person at a price equal to or in excess of ninety-five percent (95%) of the price set forth in the Offer, during a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the Offer; provided , that, to the extent that the Common Partners provided an Offer Acceptance Notice specifying their desire to purchase a portion, but not all, of the Offered Interest, the Offering Partner shall use good faith efforts to request that the proposed purchase of such Offered Interest permit the Common Partners to participate in the purchase up to the amount of the Offered Interest specified in such Offer Acceptance Notice; provided , that the Offeree Partner shall have no obligation to allow the Common Partners to participate in the purchase of the Offered Interest if (A) the proposed purchaser of the Offered Interest declines to permit the Common Partners to so participate, or (B) such participation would adversely affect the terms (including price) of the proposed purchase. Except for Transfers to an Affiliate of such Partner, any subsequent Transfer by the Offering Partner, or any Transfer by the Offering Partner after such one hundred and eighty (180) day period must comply with this Section  5.3 with a new Offer.

The purchase price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds. The closing of the sale of the Offered Interest to the Offeree Partner(s) pursuant to this Section  5.3 shall be on an “as is” and “where is” basis with no representations or warranties other than a representation from the Offering Partner that (1) it owns the Offered Interest being transferred free and clean of all liens, claims or encumbrances, other than liens that have been approved by the Partners pursuant to this Agreement, (2) it has full right and authority to sell the Offered Interest and that the sale has been duly authorized, (3) the assignment document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not violate the terms of any agreement to which the Offering Partner is a party, or any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Offering Partner, including this Agreement, and (5) no consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person is required on the part of the Offering Partner in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or, if required, has been obtained.

(ii) Required Documents .

39

(iii) Conditions Precedent to Closing . The obligation of the Offeree Partner(s) to pay the purchase price in connection with a sale of the Offered Interest pursuant to this Section  5.3 shall be conditioned upon the Offered Interest being transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, other than permitted liens, claims and encumbrances that were waived by the Offeree Partner(s) and deducted in determining the applicable price of the Offered Interest and permitted liens, claims and encumbrances securing indebtedness of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries.

(iv) Brokerage . No brokerage fees or commissions shall be payable by the Partnership in connection with any purchase pursuant to this, and each Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any such claims made based upon the actions of such Partner, including any fees and expenses in defending any such claims.

(c) Termination of Rights and Obligations . Upon the effective date of any transfer of the Offered Interest pursuant to this Section  5.3 , the Offering Partner’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such transferred portion of the Offered Interest, except as to indemnity rights or obligations of such Partner under this Agreement attributable to acts or events occurring prior to the effective date of such transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, a purchaser of any Preferred Interest that is transferred pursuant to this Section  5.3 shall be entitled to all future distributions made in respect of such Preferred Interest, including those in excess of the Initial Liquidation Value of such Preferred Interest pursuant to Section  3.3 and Section  3.5 .

(d) Notice Requirements . To the extent the notices delivered pursuant to this Section  5.3 are sent by e-mail, a confirmatory notice shall be sent immediately thereafter by overnight courier or first-class mail, postage prepaid, pursuant to Section  11.1 .

(ii) If the Offering Partner should default in its obligation to sell all or a portion of the Offered Interest in accordance with this Section  5.3 , any other transfer of such Offered Interest shall be null and void and the Offeree Partner(s) shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Offering Partner’s obligations under this Section  5.3 , the Partners hereby acknowledging and agreeing that other remedies at law for breach of the obligations of the Offering Partner under this Section  5.3 would be inadequate.

The rights and remedies provided for in this Section  5.3(e) shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights available to the non-defaulting participants at law or in equity.

Section 5.4. Tag-Along Right . If (i) any Preferred Partner (the “ Tag-Along Offering Partner ”) desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Preferred Interest to any Person other than an Affiliate of such Partner as permitted by Section  5.1(b)(x) and (ii) the Offeree Partners that are Preferred Partners did not accept the Offer to purchase the entire Offered Interest proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Offering Partner (as the Offering Partner) pursuant to Section  5.3 , then, if the Tag-Along Offering Partner proposes to Transfer all or a portion of the Offered Interest (the “ Tag-Along Interest ”) to a third party or the Common Partners pursuant to Section  5.3(a)(ii) (a “ Tag-Along Transfer ”), then:

40

(a) Offer; Tag-Along Right . The Tag-Along Offering Partner shall provide written notice to the other Preferred Partners other than any Offeree Partners that are purchasing Offered Interests pursuant to Section  5.3 (the “ Tag-Along Notice ”) setting forth (i) the material terms and conditions, including consideration, pursuant to which such Tag-Along Offering Partner proposes to make such Tag-Along Transfer (the “ Tag-Along Terms ”) and (ii) the identity of the third party or the Common Partners (the “ Tag-Along Purchaser ”) to whom it proposes to make such Tag-Along Transfer. Subject to Section  5.4(c) , each Preferred Partner other than any Offeree Partners that are purchasing Offered Interests pursuant to Section  5.3 shall have the right to Transfer to the proposed transferee its pro rata share of the Tag-Along Interest for the same form and amount of consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the Tag-Along Offering Partner (the “ Tag-Along Right ”).

(b) Response . Within ten (10) days after delivery of a Tag-Along Notice, each other Preferred Partner (other than any Offeree Partners that are purchasing Offered Interests pursuant to Section  5.3 ) shall give written notice to the Tag-Along Offering Partner stating whether it wishes to exercise the Tag-Along Right and to sell its pro rata share of the Tag-Along Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer on the Tag-Along Terms. Any Preferred Partner electing to sell its Preferred Interest pursuant to this Section  5.4 (a “ Tag-Along Seller ”) (i) shall be bound to sell to the Tag-Along Purchaser on the Tag-Along Terms and (ii) shall take all actions reasonably necessary to do so, including executing a contract of sale (which contract shall be no more onerous to the Tag-Along Seller(s) than the contract of sale executed by the Tag-Along Offering Partner). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to be entitled to exercise its right to sell its Preferred Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer pursuant to this Section  5.4 , each Tag-Along Seller, if requested by the Tag-Along Offering Partner or the Tag-Along Purchaser, (x) shall agree to the same covenants as the Tag-Along Offering Partner agrees to in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer to the extent applicable, (y) shall be obligated to join on a pro rata (but not joint and several) basis (based on the proceeds received by such Tag-Along Seller compared with the proceeds received by the Tag-Along Offering Partner and all Tag-Along Seller(s) in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer) in any indemnification that the Tag-Along Offering Partner agrees to provide in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer (other than in connection with obligations that relate to a particular Partner such as representations and warranties concerning itself for which each Partner shall agree to be solely responsible), and (z) shall make such representations and warranties (on a several, but not joint basis) as the Tag-Along Offering Partner shall make in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer, except that any representations or warranties made by the Tag-Along Offering Partner concerning itself and the Tag-Along Interest to be sold by it in connection with such Transfer shall only be made by a Tag-Along Seller with respect to itself and its share of such Tag-Along Interest. Each Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for funding its proportionate share of any adjustment in purchase price or escrow arrangements in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer and for its proportionate share of any withdrawals from any such escrow, including any such withdrawals that are made with respect to claims arising out of agreements, covenants, representations, warranties or other provisions relating to the Tag-Along Transfer.

41

(c) Closing . The Tag-Along Offering Partner shall be permitted (but not required) to consummate the Tag-Along Transfer within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the end of the ten (10) day period described in Section  5.4(b) (and the period described in Section  5.3(a)(ii) shall be extended such that it expires on the same date as the period under this Section  5.4(c) ), but only if the Tag-Along Purchaser(s) acquire the “ Allocable Share ” of the Preferred Interest of each Tag-Along Seller in exchange for the Allocable Share of the total consideration (net of the aggregate expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Offering Partner in the Tag-Along Transfer) paid by the Tag-Along Purchasers. The “ Allocable Share ” of the Tag-Along Offering Partner and each Tag-Along Seller will equal (i) the Preferred Interests that the Tag-Along Purchaser(s) are to acquire multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is its Percentage Interest and the denominator of which is the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Tag-Along Offering Partner and all Tag-Along Sellers.

(d) Notice Requirements . To the extent the notices delivered pursuant to this Section  5.4 are sent by e-mail, a confirmatory notice shall be sent immediately thereafter by overnight courier or first-class mail, postage prepaid, pursuant to Section  11.1 .

Section 5.5. Preemptive Rights . The Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall not issue (an “ Issuance ”) debt interests (other than the Senior Credit Debt and other senior Indebtedness that is secured by the assets of and/or the equity interests of the Partnership) or equity interests in the Partnership or its Subsidiaries (including the Subsidiary REIT), other than (a) the issuance of Partnership Interests to the Partners or pursuant to a transfer of Partnership Interests, in each case, that is permitted pursuant to this Agreement (including Article 5 ), (b) the issuance of Subsidiary REIT Units to the Partnership and the issuance of the Subsidiary REIT Preferred Units, (c) any issuance of ownership interests in a Subsidiary so long as all of the ownership interests in such Subsidiary remain directly or indirectly wholly owned (other than the Subsidiary REIT Preferred Units) by the Partnership following such issuance or (d) the incurrence of Indebtedness under a credit facility otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, to any Person with designations, preferences or relative, economic, participating, optional or other special rights, powers or duties that are preferential to the Preferred Interests, without offering to the Preferred Partners the opportunity to purchase any such debt or equity interests. The General Partner shall notify each Preferred Partner in writing of the proposed Issuance (the “ Issuance Notice ”) and grant to each such Preferred Partner the right (the “ Preemptive Rights ”) to subscribe for and purchase its pro rata share, based on the Preferred Partners’ relative Percentage Interests, of the preferential debt or equity interests to be issued in the proposed Issuance at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions to be issued in the proposed Issuance. In order to exercise the preemptive rights granted to it pursuant to this Section  5.5 , a Preferred Partner must deliver notice of its election to purchase such preferential debt or equity interests to the General Partner within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. A failure to deliver such notice by a Preferred Partner will constitute a waiver by such Preferred Partner of its preemptive rights under this Section  5.5 with respect to the applicable Issuance. To the extent that all of the Preferred Partners do not elect to exercise their Preemptive Rights pursuant to the preceding sentences of this Section  5.5 , the remainder of the debt or equity interests subject to the Issuance will be re-offered to the Preferred Partners who elected to exercise their Preemptive Rights within five (5) days of the expiration of the period to deliver notice of an election, and such Preferred Partners shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of such remainder (based on the amount of such remainder offered relative to the other such electing Preferred Partners) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such re-offer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Common Partners shall not have Preemptive Rights in accordance with this Section  5.5 .

42

Section 5.6. Call Right on Preferred Partners .

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section  4.10 , Section  5.3 , Section  5.4 and Section  5.5 ), the Common Partners shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase (or have purchased) all of the outstanding Preferred Interest (and not a portion thereof), including rights in future distributions of Remaining Distributable Cash Flow pursuant to Section  3.5 (each, a “ Remaining Interest ”) by paying cash (or having paid cash) to each Preferred Partner in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the applicable Remaining Interest in accordance with this Section  5.6 (the “ Common Partner Call Right ”). The Common Partners may exercise the Common Partner Call Right with respect to the Remaining Interests by delivering written notice thereof to the Preferred Partners (the “ Common Partners Call Notice ”), and such notice shall represent a binding obligation of the Common Partners to purchase all Remaining Interests of the Preferred Partners; provided, that such right shall only be available if such Common Partners Call Notice is delivered (x) prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date or (y) after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date if, in the case of this clause (y), the balance of the Initial Preferred Distribution Balance under the Subsidiary REIT Agreement is reduced to zero ($0) on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (including pursuant to Section  5.7 hereof).

(b) The Purchase Price in respect of the Remaining Interests of a Preferred Partner shall be the greater of (i) an amount equal to (A) (1) the applicable multiple set forth on Schedule 5.6(b) of this Agreement determined as of the closing of the sale of the Remaining Interests multiplied by (2) the Initial Liquidation Value of the applicable Preferred Partner’s Preferred Interests as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, less (B) the aggregate amounts previously distributed to the Preferred Partner pursuant to Article 3 (including as a result of the General Partner’s exercise of its rights under Section  5.7 of this Agreement) and (ii) the Appraised Residual Value. The “ Appraised Residual Value ” in respect of a Remaining Interest shall mean the aggregate amount that would be distributed to the Preferred Partner in respect of its Remaining Interest if the Property and the other Business Assets were sold at their Appraised Value and the proceeds therefrom were distributed pursuant to Section  10.4 in a liquidation of the Partnership (with no reserves or other amounts retained by the Partnership).

TAX AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Section 9.1. Taxation as Partnership . The Partners intend that the Partnership shall be treated as a partnership and that the Partners shall be taxed as partners for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. No Party shall take any action that would result in the Partnership being taxed as a corporation for such purposes. The Partnership shall not file any election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Partnership shall not elect, pursuant to Section 761(a) of the Code, to be excluded from the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code. The Partnership shall prepare and file with the IRS and other necessary taxing authorities all documents, if any, necessary to elect, confirm and maintain its status as a partnership for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Section 9.3. Partnership Representative .

(a) Partnership Representative . The General Partner is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” of the Partnership for purposes of Section 6223 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Partnership Representative ”), and all federal, state and local Tax audits and litigation shall be conducted under the direction of the General Partner. The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to inform each other Partner of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Partnership Representative by giving Notice thereof and to forward to each other Partner copies of all significant written communications it may receive in such capacity. The Partnership Representative shall consult with the Preferred Partners before taking any material actions with respect to Tax matters, including actions relating to (i) an IRS examination of the Partnership commenced under Section 6231(a) of the Code, (ii) a request for administrative adjustment filed by the Partnership under Section 6227 of the Code, (iii) the filing of a petition for readjustment under Section 6234 of the Code with respect to a final notice of partnership adjustment, (iv) the appeal of an adverse judicial decision and (v) the compromise, settlement or dismissal of any such proceedings.

Any material proposed action, inaction, or election to be taken by the Partnership Representative (including the appointment of a successor Partnership Representative) in its capacity as such, including the election under Section 6226(a)(1) of the Code, shall require the prior written approval of the Preferred Partners holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the Preferred Interests (calculated

56

excluding any Defaulting Partners). For the avoidance of doubt, the financial burden of any imputed underpayment or other taxes borne by the Partnership shall be treated as a Tax Advance and shall be allocated amongst the Partners (and the Partnership shall be indemnified in respect of such Tax Advances) as provided in Section  9.5 .

(b) State and Local Tax Law . Subject to Section  4.10 , if any state or local Tax Law provides for a Partnership Representative or Person having similar rights, powers, authority or obligations, the General Partner shall also serve in such capacity, subject to the consent procedures described in Section  9.3(a) to the extent applicable. In all other cases, the General Partner shall represent the Partnership in all Tax matters to the extent allowed by Law and to the maximum extent not prohibited by Law, subject to the consent procedures described in Section  9.3(a) to the extent applicable.

(c) Further Cooperation . Each Partner hereby agrees (i) to take such actions as may be required to effect the General Partner’s designation as the Partnership Representative and (ii) to cooperate to provide any information or take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner in order to determine whether any “imputed underpayment” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code (an “ Imputed Underpayment ”) may be modified in a manner consistent with the guidance issued by the IRS under Section 6225(c) of the Code. A Partner’s obligation to comply with this Section  9.3 shall survive the transfer, assignment or liquidation of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership.

(d) Expenses of the Partnership Representative . Reasonable expenses incurred by the General Partner as the Partnership Representative or in a similar capacity as set forth in this Section  9.3 shall be borne by the Partnership. Such expenses shall include fees of attorneys and other Tax professionals, accountants, appraisers and experts, filing fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs. For the avoidance of doubt, the incurrence of any such expenses shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution for purposes of this Agreement and any reimbursement thereof by the Partnership shall not be treated as a distribution of the Partnership for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) Subject to Section  9.4(b) , the Partnership shall cause its Tax adviser, at the Partnership’s expense, to prepare and file, prior to the applicable due date (subject to any applicable extensions), all U.S. federal, state and local Tax returns of the Partnership for each year for which such tax returns are required to be filed.

(b) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to, and shall cause the Partnership indirectly to cause any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, prepare and file any U.S. Tax return of the Partnership or such Subsidiary of the Partnership which is required by applicable Law to be filed.

(c) The General Partner shall prepare, or cause the Partnership’s accounting firm to prepare, and provide to the Partners the following information relating to tax matters, which shall be at the Partnership’s expense:

57

(i) No later than December 1 of each Fiscal Year (or the first Business Day thereafter), the General Partner shall provide an estimate of the Partnership’s taxable income for such Fiscal Year, together with a state allocation schedule of the Partnership’s taxable income, a schedule of state apportionment factors, depreciation computations and all other information as requested that will enable each Partner to timely prepare its own federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns. For the avoidance of doubt, such estimates will be based on January through October of the applicable year. The General Partner shall provide an updated estimate to the Partners by January 25 (or the first Business Day thereafter) following the close of such Fiscal Year.

(ii) No later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall provide Schedule K-1s for such Fiscal Year to the Partners.

(iii) The Partnership agrees to provide promptly to any Partner that so requests any information reasonably available to it and reasonably necessary or helpful to assist a Partner in reducing or eliminating the withholding taxes that may be imposed on it under the Code in connection with a Transfer, including (but not limited to) Sections 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (or to cause the Subsidiary REIT to provide) to any Partner that so requests in writing information or evidence maintained pursuant to Section  4.9(d) and reasonably necessary or helpful to establish the Subsidiary REIT’s status as a D-REIT in respect of any tax period (including the percentage of the value of the stock held directly or indirectly by foreign persons at closing or in respect of any tax period).

Section 9.5. Tax Advances and Obligations .

(a) Tax Advances . To the extent the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner and based on the residency, domicile or other tax state of such Partner (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax incurred by the Partnership pursuant to Section 6225 or Section 1446(f) of the Code or FATCA) (“ Tax Advances ”), the General Partner shall withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. For this purpose, the General Partner shall reasonably determine the portion of any Imputed Underpayment attributable to each Partner or former Partner. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner (other than by way of withholding on amounts otherwise distributable) shall, at the option of the General Partner, be promptly paid to the Partnership by the Partner on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner; provided , that (i) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation is reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the Tax Advance at the lesser of (A) the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the Reference Rate and (B) the Maximum Rate; provided , that no interest shall be charged unless the Partnership provides written notice to the Partner of the Tax Advance and the Member does not repay such Tax Advance to the Partnership within 10 Business Days of receipt of such notice, (ii) should the General Partner elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Partner of its intention to do so, and (iii) in the event that a Partner pays any such amounts to the Partnership, such payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution. Whenever the General Partner makes any such reduction of the proceeds

58

payable to a Partner pursuant to the preceding sentence for repayment of a Tax Advance by such Partner or a Tax Advance is made by way of withholding on amounts otherwise distributable, for all other purposes of this Agreement, such Partner may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. If a Tax Advance is required to be made by the Partnership and the General Partner determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Partnership of a Person that is at such time a Partner, such Tax Advance shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner for purposes of this Section  9.5(a) whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Partnership during which such Partner held an interest in the Partnership. Unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing, each Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any liability with respect to Tax Advances required on behalf of or with respect to such Partner. To the extent that any liability with respect to a Tax Advance relates to a former Partner that has withdrawn or sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or otherwise transferred all or part of its interest in the Partnership, such former Partner (which in the case of a partial withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other transfer shall include a continuing Partner with respect to the portion of its interest in the Partnership so withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or transferred) shall indemnify the Partnership for its allocable portion of such liability, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section  9.5(a) , for Tax Advances with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Partnership for the Partnership’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer, as applicable (including any such liabilities imposed under Section 6225 of the Code or Section 1446(f) of the Code).

(b) Information and Certifications Regarding Owners . Each Partner shall, or shall cause its underlying beneficial owners or any direct or indirect transferee of its Partnership Interest to, use commercially reasonable efforts to timely deliver to the Partnership any documentation reasonably required to be provided under FATCA (including any newly effective versions of IRS Form W-8 and the documentation required thereunder) or reasonably requested by the Partnership sufficient for the Partnership to comply with its obligations under Sections 1441-1474 of the Code, including FATCA. Each Partner (other than the General Partner or other Partners that are Affiliates of the General Partner) further consents to any necessary or appropriate disclosure or reporting of such information by the General Partner to any governmental or taxing authority.

(c) BCI Partners . If the BCI Partners provide to the Partnership one or more properly executed and completed IRS Forms W-8IMY, W-8EXP and/or W-8BEN-E or any such other applicable documentation claiming the benefit of an exemption or reduction of withholding tax, based on the provision of such tax form, the Partnership and the General Partner, to the extent permitted by law, will take the foreign government status, qualified foreign pension fund status, treaty entitlement status and/or domestic tax status of the BCI Partners into account in determining the amount of withholding taxes to be withheld or imposed. Other than with respect to income classified as gain from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest described in Section 897(c)(1)(A) of the Code (including as a result of the application of Section 897(h)(1) of the Code, as determined by the General Partner) allocated to a BCI Partner that does not constitute

59

a qualified foreign pension fund or a domestic entity, the Partnership and the General Partner hereby agree that neither will withhold on any amounts (or any amount in excess of any claimed entitlement to a reduced rate) attributable to the BCI Partners or as a result of the BCI Partners’ interest in the Partnership unless the General Partner has notified the BCI Partners, in writing, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware that any withholding taxes are likely to be withheld or imposed with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to the BCI Partners and agrees prior to withholding any amounts in respect of such BCI Partner to use reasonable best efforts to consult with the BCI Partner and to work in good faith with the BCI Partner to minimize any such withholding taxes.

Section 9.6. Limitation of Liability of Partners and Affiliates . Except as provided by the Act or other applicable Law and subject to the obligations to make Capital Contributions and to indemnify the Partnership and the other Partners as provided in Article 7 and as otherwise required by this Agreement or by applicable Law, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever in its capacity as a Partner, whether to the Partnership, to any of the Partners or to the creditors of the Partnership, for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Partnership (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) or for any of the Partnership’s losses.

The Partnership shall not be dissolved or terminated by reason of the Bankruptcy, removal, withdrawal, dissolution or admission of any Partner (including the General Partner).

Section 10.2. Effect of Termination . Except as agreed otherwise by the Partners, termination of the Term shall be without prejudice to any liability or obligation in respect of any matters, undertakings or conditions which have not been observed or performed by each, or the relevant, Partner prior to termination, or the date on which the relevant Partner ceases to hold any Partnership Interests.

60

Section 10.3. Survival . This Section  10.3 , and Section  10.4 and Article 11 of this Agreement and all related defined terms shall continue to apply to all Partners after dissolution of the Partnership, and any other provisions of this Agreement to the extent relevant to the interpretation or enforcement of or to give effect to such Section of this Agreement shall continue to apply for an indefinite period.

Section 10.4. Dissolution of the Partnership .

(a) On termination of the Term, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating the Business Assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. The General Partner, or if the General Partner has been removed or if the Alternative Voting System is in effect, a liquidator (the General Partner or such liquidator, for purposes hereof, the “ Liquidator ”) as is appointed by the Board as a Major Decision, shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up of the Partnership. The Business Assets shall be liquidated only to the extent determined to be appropriate by the Liquidator or as required under Section  5.7 , and the proceeds thereof shall be applied and distributed by the Liquidator in the following order:

(i) to creditors of the Partnership (including, if applicable, the Partners or any of their Affiliates), to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Partnership, including any unpaid Deferred Asset Management Fees (unless this Agreement was terminated for Cause) the expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(ii) provision for such reserves as the Board deems necessary or desirable (determined as a Major Decision); and

(iii) the remaining proceeds, if any, plus any remaining Business Assets of the Partnership, shall be applied and distributed in accordance with Article 3 . For purposes of the application of this Section  10.4(a)(iii) and determining Capital Accounts on dissolution, all unrealized gains, losses and accrued income and deductions of the Partnership shall be treated as realized and recognized immediately before the date of distribution.

After such distribution, the Liquidator shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed articles of dissolution of the Partnership under the Act, at which time the Partnership shall be terminated.

(b) Unless six (6) months prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, a majority of the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Partners agree to postpone the winding up of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall take all appropriate actions (including the actions specified in Section  10.4(a) ) to arrange for the orderly termination of the Partnership and liquidation of the Business Assets as of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

(c) Unless six (6) months prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date, all of the Preferred Partners agree to postpone the winding up of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall take all appropriate actions (including the actions specified in Section  10.4(a) ) to arrange for the orderly termination of the Partnership and liquidation of the Business Assets as of the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

61

(d) When arranging for the orderly termination of the Partnership and the liquidation of the Business Assets, the Liquidator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such orderly termination in a manner that takes into account the tax consequences to each of the Partners, including the consequences of structuring the liquidation of the Business Assets as a sale of shares in the Subsidiary REIT.

Section 10.5. No Partition . No Partner has any interest in specific property of the Partnership. Without limiting the foregoing, each Partner irrevocably waives during the term of the Partnership any right that it may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the property of the Partnership or to require the redemption of its interest in the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if any Partner should bring an action in court to dissolve the Partnership under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section  10.4 . This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Partnership. Accordingly, except where the Liquidator has failed to liquidate the Partnership as required by Section  10.4 , each Partner hereby waives and renounces such Partner’s right to initiate legal action to seek any partition, the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Partnership or to seek a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership on the ground that (a) it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business of the Partnership in conformity with the Act or this Agreement, or (b) dissolution is reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights or interests of the complaining Partner. Damages for breach of this Section  10.5 may be offset against distributions by the Partnership to which such Partner would otherwise be entitled.
