The purpose of the First Amendment is to clarify that any subordinated fees payable to CVREIT II Advisor under the Third A&R CVREIT II Advisory Agreement will be offset by any distributions CVREIT II Advisor or any of its affiliates receives as a special limited partner of CVOP II or CVOP.
Fourth A&R CVREIT II Advisory Agreement

The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment and Fourth A&R CVREIT II Advisory Agreement are only summaries, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment and Fourth A&R CVREIT II Advisory Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On April 11, 2019, the Company, CVREIT, CVOP II, CVOP and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The actual amount of credit available under the KeyBank Credit Facility is a function of certain loan-to-cost, loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios contained in the KeyBank Credit Facility.
Simultaneously with the A&R Credit Agreement’s execution, on August 7, 2019, the Company, CVOP II, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with KeyBank, as Administrative Agent for the lenders, for the maximum commitment available of up to $520,000,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2024 (the "Term Loan"). Subject to certain conditions, the Term Loan can be increased to $600,000,000 any time before December 31, 2023. The Term Loan Agreement is pari passu with the A&R Credit Agreement. The Term Loan was funded upon the consummation of the REIT Merger.
The Company refers to the KeyBank Credit Facility and the Term Loan collectively as the "Unsecured Credit Facility".
On October 3, 2019, the Company, CVOP II, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, and KeyBank, as Administrative Agent for the lenders, entered into the First Amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment to A&R Credit Agreement") and the First Amendment to the Term Loan (the "First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement" and together with the First Amendment to A&R Credit Agreement, the "First Amendments to the Unsecured Credit Facility"). The First Amendments to the Unsecured Credit Facility allow for the Contributions by amending and adding certain language in the A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement in order to conform with the contemplated structure chart as set forth in Schedule 1.5, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 10.7 and 10.8, of the First Amendment to A&R Credit Agreement and First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, respectively.
On October 4, 2019, in connection with the REIT Merger, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company entered into joinder agreements with KeyBank, as Administrative Agent (the "Joinder Agreements"), to become subsidiary guarantors under the Unsecured Credit Facility and to add 60 healthcare properties and one data center property to the unencumbered pool of the Unsecured Credit Facility, which increased the Company’s total pool availability under the Unsecured Credit Facility by approximately $577,946,000. The material terms of the Joinder Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 10.9 through Exhibit 10.10 and are incorporated herein by reference.
As of October 4, 2019, the Company had a total pool availability under the Unsecured Credit Facility of $1,129,416,000 and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $908,000,000. As of October 4, 2019, $221,416,000 remained to be drawn on the Unsecured Credit Facility.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the exchange of OP Units is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The exchange of the OP Units pursuant to the Contribution Agreement was consummated without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering. No sales commission or other consideration will be paid in connection with such sale.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
This CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 4, 2019, by and among Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. (the “REIT”), Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, LLC (f/k/a Lightning Merger Sub, LLC) (“Lightning”), Carter Validus Advisors II, LLC (“CV Advisors II”), Carter Validus Operating Partnership II, LP (“CVOP II”), Carter/Validus Operating Partnership, LP (“CVOP”) and CVOP Partner, LLC (“CVOP Partner”).
RECITALS
A. The REIT owns all of the issued and outstanding interests in Lightning, and owns all of the issued and outstanding general partnership interests and a portion of the limited partnership interests in CVOP II. CV Advisors II owns the remaining limited partnership interests (denominated as “Special Limited Partnership Interests”) in CVOP II. Together, the REIT and CV Advisors II own all of the issued and outstanding interests in CVOP II.
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 11, 2019, by and between the REIT, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (“CV REIT”), CVOP, CVOP II and Lightning, CV REIT merged with and into Lighting, with Lightning surviving (the “Merger”).
C. Following the completion of the Merger, on October 4, 2019, the REIT entered into a term loan, a portion of the proceeds of which (such portion, the “CVOP Debt Pay-Off Amount”) were used by the REIT to satisfy certain indebtedness of CVOP (the “CVOP Debt Pay-Off”). The parties hereto intend to treat, and have treated, the CVOP Debt Pay-Off as a contribution by the REIT of the CVOP Debt Pay-Off Amount to Lightning, followed by a contribution by Lightning of such amount to CVOP in exchange for additional partnership interests in CVOP.
D. Following the completion of the Merger, on October 4, 2019, CV Advisors II purchased from Carter/Validus Advisors, LLC (“CV Advisors”), all of the issued and outstanding partnership interests held by CV Advisors in CVOP.
E. As of the date hereof, Lightning owns all of the issued and outstanding general partnership interests and a portion of the limited partnership interests in CVOP (including such interests that are deemed to have been issued pursuant to the CVOP Debt Pay-Off, the “Lightning Contributed CVOP Interests”), and CV Advisors II owns the remaining issued and outstanding limited partnership interests (denominated “Special Limited Partnership Interests”) in CVOP (the “CV Advisors II Contributed CVOP Interests” and, together with the Lightning Contributed CVOP Interests, the “Contributed CVOP Interests”). Together, the Contributed CVOP Interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding interests in CVOP.
F. CVOP II owns all of the issued and outstanding interests in CVOP Partner.
G. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and effective as of the Closing, (i) Lightning and CV Advisors II (each, a “Contributor”, and together, the “Contributors”) shall each contribute to CVOP II all of its interests in CVOP, and CVOP II shall acquire from the Contributors all of the Contributors’ right, title and interest in CVOP in exchange for limited partnership interests in CVOP II
(“OP Units”), and (ii) CVOP II shall contribute to CVOP Partner all of the limited partnership interests in CVOP (the “CVOP Partner Contributed CVOP Interests”).
H. The admission of CVOP II and CVOP Partner as the partners of CVOP is being reflected in a First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CVOP (the “CVOP Agreement”), effective concurrently with the contributions of the Contributed CVOP Interests and CVOP Partner Contributed CVOP Interests pursuant to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual undertakings set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

(a) Each Contributor shall contribute, assign, set over, convey, deliver and transfer to CVOP II, absolutely and unconditionally, all of its right, title and interest in and to its Contributed CVOP Interests (the “First Contribution”). The contribution of the Contributed CVOP Interests shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “First Assignment and Assumption Agreement”); and
(b) CVOP II shall contribute, assign, set over, convey, deliver and transfer to CVOP Partner, absolutely and unconditionally, all of its right, title and interest in and to the CVOP Partner Contributed CVOP Interests (the “Second Contribution”).

Section 1.2 Consideration.
(a) Effective at the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in consideration of the First Contribution, CVOP II shall authorize, issue and deliver to each of Lightning and CV Advisors II a designated number of CVOP II OP Units equal to the value of the Contributed CVOP Interests in the First Contribution, which shall be reflected in the books and records of CVOP II. Effective at the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in consideration of the Second Contribution, CVOP Partner shall receive the CVOP Partner Contributed CVOP Interests, as reflected in the CVOP Agreement. Each party hereto shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be required, or as may reasonably be requested by the other parties, in order to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”). In addition, the parties hereby accept, acknowledge and agree that, upon receipt of the CVOP II OP Units, Contributed CVOP Interests and CVOP Partner Contributed CVOP Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as applicable, each shall be subject to and bound by the terms and conditions of the CVOP II OP Agreement and CVOP OP Agreement, as applicable.
Section 1.3 Income Tax Treatment. The parties intend that, for income tax purposes: (i) the First Contribution will be treated as a tax-deferred contribution of property under Section 721(a) of the

ARTICLE 2.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CONTRIBUTORS

Section 2.1 Organization; Authority; Qualification.

Section 2.2 Due Authorization. The Contributor has the legal authority to enter into this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Contributor have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions of the Contributor and its members. This Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and the application of equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a Proceeding at law or equity).
Section 2.3 Ownership of Contributed Assets. The Contributor is an owner of CVOP and has the power and authority to transfer, sell, assign and convey to CVOP II its Contributed CVOP Interests free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and, upon delivery of the consideration for its Contributed CVOP Interests as provided herein, CVOP II will acquire good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).
Section 2.4 Consents and Approvals. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of CVOP II made hereunder, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity is required to be obtained by the Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, except for any of the foregoing (i) that shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing or (ii) the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a the Contributors Material Adverse Effect.
Section 2.5 Non-Contravention. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of CVOP II made hereunder, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby or the consummation of the Transactions does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both: (i) contravene or conflict with the organizational documents of the Contributor, (ii) contravene, violate or conflict with any foreign, federal, state, local or other Law binding on the Contributor or by which the any of its respective assets or properties are bound or subject, (iii) result in any violation or breach of, or default under, or give rise to a right of termination, acceleration, modification or cancellation or other right adverse to the Contributor under (A) any material agreement, document or instrument to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor is bound, or (B) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of a Governmental Entity by which the
Contributor is bound, or (iv) require any approval, consent or waiver of, or the making of any filing with, any Person, including any Governmental Entity, except, with respect to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a the Contributor Material Adverse Effect.
Section 2.6 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Proceeding pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened against the Contributor which, if adversely determined, would, individually or together with all such other actions, reasonably be expected to have a Contributor Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, there is no Proceeding pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened against the Contributor which challenges or impairs the ability of the Contributor to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions.
Section 2.7 Investment Purposes. The Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the offering and issuance of the OP Units to the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and that CVOP II’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Contributor represents and warrants to CVOP II as follows:
(a) Investment. The Contributor is acquiring the OP Units solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of such OP Units in violation of securities Laws.
(b) Knowledge. The Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and the Contributor fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the federal securities Laws. The Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the OP Units for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the OP Units. The Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to CVOP II, the business and prospects of CVOP II and the issuance of the OP Units, as such Contributor deems necessary or desirable and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, CVOP II, CVOP, the business and prospects of the REIT and CVOP II and the OP Units, which such Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units, and to conduct its own independent valuation of CVOP and the certain other properties that may potentially be owned by CVOP II in connection with the Transactions. Such Contributor is relying upon its own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to Taxes), and the advice of the Contributor’s advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon that of CVOP II, its Affiliates or any of its advisors (including tax advisors), for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby. The Contributor has not been furnished with and has not relied on any oral or written representation in connection with the offering of the OP Units that is not contained in this Agreement.
(c) Restricted Securities. The Contributor understands that the OP Units have not been, and they will not be, registered under the Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Contributor’s representations as expressed in this Agreement. The Contributor understands that the OP Units are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities Laws and that, pursuant to these Laws, such Contributor must hold the OP Units indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is
available. The Contributor acknowledges that CVOP II has no obligation to register or qualify the OP Units for resale.
(d) No Public Market. The Contributor understands that no public market now exists for the OP Units, and that CVOP II has not made any representation that a public market will ever exist for the OP Units.
(e) Accredited Investor. The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act).
Section 2.8 No Insolvency Proceedings. No attachments, execution proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings are pending, or to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened against the Contributor, nor are any such proceedings contemplated by the Contributor. Assuming the accuracy of CVOP II’s representations and warranties, the Contributor will be solvent immediately following the First Contribution.
Section 2.9 Exclusive Representations. Except as set forth in this Article 2, the Contributor makes no any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and CVOP II acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty in connection with the Transactions.

The Company shall pay to the Advisor an Asset Management Fee equal to 1/12th of 0.75% of the sum of the Contract Purchase Price, the Acquisition Expenses, Construction Fee and other customarily capitalized costs but excluding Acquisition Fees, monthly in arrears based on Assets held by the Company on the last day of such month.
(b) Acquisition and Advisory Fees. The Company shall pay the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor, a fee in the amount of 2.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of each Asset as Acquisition and Advisory Fees. The total of all Acquisition Fees and any Acquisition Expenses shall be limited in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and shall not exceed six percent (6%) of the Contract Purchase Price. Acquisition and Advisory Fees shall be paid as follows: (1) for real property (including properties where development/redevelopment is expected), at the time of acquisition, (2) for development/redevelopment projects (other than the initial acquisition of the real property), at the time a final budget is approved, and (3) for loans and similar assets (including without limitation mezzanine loans), quarterly based on the value of loans made or acquired. In the case of a development/redevelopment project subject to clause (2) above, upon completion of the development/redevelopment project, the Advisor shall determine the actual amounts paid. To the extent the amounts actually paid vary from the budgeted amounts on which the Acquisition and Advisory Fee was initially based, the Advisor will pay or invoice the Company for 2.0% of the budget variance such that the Acquisition and Advisory Fee is ultimately 2.0% of amounts expended on such development/redevelopment project.
(c) Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a Disposition Fee up to the lesser of 1.0% of the Contract Sales Price and one-half of the brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is involved. The Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to Disposition Fees paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total Disposition Fees paid to all Persons by the Company (including the Disposition Fee) shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Competitive Disposition Fee or (ii) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price of a Property.
(d) Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for perpetual life entity. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the Advisory Fees in relation to the size, composition and profitability of the Company’s portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration, servicing, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or
appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for the account of other clients.
(e) Construction Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides construction, or construction related services, including acting as general contractor and/or construction manager to supervise or coordinate projects or to provide major repairs or rehabilitation on the Company’s properties, the Company shall pay the Advisor or the Affiliate of the Advisor, as the case may be, a Construction Fee up to 5.0% of the cost of the projects, repairs and/or rehabilitation, as applicable. These fees shall not exceed fees that are usual and customary for comparable services rendered for similar projects in the geographic market where services are provided.
(f) Payment. For purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of Shares, the value of each Share shall be the most recently determined estimated NAV per share (the “NAV”) as determined by the Board or an independent appraiser. If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is paid in Shares, the value shall be the price of the Shares without commissions. The NAV may be adjusted on a quarterly or other basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions.
(a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the Company or the Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor, as applicable, for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the Company, OP I and the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:
(i) Organization and Offering Expenses, but only to the extent the reimbursement would not cause the Selling Commissions, the dealer manager fees and the other Organization and Offering Expenses borne by the Company to exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds raised in each completed Offering. Within 60 days after the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor to the extent that such reimbursements exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds raised in the applicable completed Offering. The Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of the Organization and Offering Expenses in excess of 15% of the Gross Proceeds. In the event the Company does not raise the minimum amount of the Offering as set forth in the Prospectus, the Advisor shall not be reimbursed for any Organization and Offering Expenses;
(ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Assets in an amount estimated to be up to 0.75% of the Contract Purchase Price, subject, however, to the aggregate six percent (6%) cap on Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses set forth in Section 3.01(b);

(xi) expenses of organizing, reorganizing, liquidating or dissolving the Company or amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws;

(xiii) administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in fulfilling its duties hereunder. Such costs and expenses may include reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all employees and key personnel of the Advisor who are engaged in the management, administration, operations, and marketing of the Company, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to their services provided hereunder; and
|
|
(xiv)
|
audit, accounting and legal fees.
|
No reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such personnel perform services in connection with services for which the Advisor receives the Acquisition and Advisory Fee or the Disposition Fee.
(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be reimbursed no less than quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Partnership during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter.
3.03 Other Services. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company, OP I and the Partnership other than set forth in Section 2.02, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Board, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.04 Reimbursement to the Advisor. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor, at the end of any fiscal quarter, for any Operating Expenses to the extent that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) the Operating Expenses exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of (i) 2% of Average Invested Assets or (ii) 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for that period of four consecutive quarters unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company.

6.01 Assignment to an Affiliate. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate of the Advisor with the approval of a majority of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Partnership are bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company and the Partnership resulting from a Change of Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Partnership, and shall likewise be binding upon any successor to the Advisor.
6.02 Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company, the Partnership and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, service marks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Carter Validus.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Carter Validus” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company. Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the name “Carter Validus” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including without limitation as to whether the use of the name “Carter Validus” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Carter Validus.”

Section 4.4 Additional Funding and Capital Contributions.

C. Issuance of REIT Shares or Other Securities by the General Partner.

In connection with the General Partner’s initial offering of REIT Shares, any other issuance of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership any net proceeds raised in connection with such issuance; provided, that the General Partner may use a portion of the net proceeds from any offering to acquire OP Units or other assets (provided such other assets are contributed to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that if the net proceeds actually received
by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance then, except to the extent such net proceeds are used to acquire OP Units, the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the net proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by the General Partner (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4)).

Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343.

ARTICLE 5
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 Distributions.
A. Cash Available for Distribution. Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute, at such times as the General Partner shall determine (each a “Distribution Date”), an amount of Available Cash, determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, to the Partners holding OP Units who are Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date, in accordance with each such Partner’s respective Percentage Interest.
B. Net Sales Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Sales Proceeds shall be distributed as follows:
(1) First, 100% to the Partners holding OP Units in proportion to each such Partner’s respective Percentage Interest with respect to such OP Units until Invested Capital is zero;
(2) Second, 100% to the Partners holding OP Units in proportion to each such Partner’s respective Percentage Interest with respect to such OP Units until the Priority Return is zero; and
(3) Thereafter, (a) 15% to the Special Limited Partner and (b) 85% to the Partners holding OP Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests with respect to such OP Units..
In the event that additional Partners are (or are anticipated to be) admitted to the Partnership, the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall work together in good faith to revise the economic provisions of this Agreement so as to take into account such prospective Partner’s additional contributions (if any) for purposes of determining the amounts payable to the Special Limited Partner under this Section 5.1B and related provisions, including, without limitation Section 5.1C.
C. Listing Redemption. Upon a Listing and subject to Section 5.1F, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Special Limited Partner in redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount by which (i) the Market Value of the outstanding REIT Shares plus Distributions paid by the General Partner prior to Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to pay the Priority Return from inception of the Partnership through the date that Market Value is determined. The Partnership and the General Partner shall have the option to pay such distribution in the form of cash, REIT Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Partnership pays such amount with a promissory note, payment in full shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of the first Sale completed by the Partnership after Listing, and interest will accrue at a rate deemed fair and reasonable by the General Partner from and after the date of Listing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after Listing are insufficient to pay the promissory note in full, including accrued interest, then the promissory note shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales until the amount owing pursuant to such promissory note is paid in full. If the promissory note has not been paid in full within five years from the date of Listing, then the Special Limited Partner, or its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the unpaid balance, including accrued but unpaid interest, into REIT Shares at a price per REIT Share equal to the average closing price of the REIT Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election. If the REIT Shares are no longer Listed at such time as the promissory note becomes convertible into REIT Shares as provided by this paragraph, then the price per REIT Share, for purposes of conversion, shall equal the fair market value for the REIT Shares as determined by the General Partner based upon the net Appraised Value of the Partnership’s direct and indirect assets as of the date of election.
D. Termination Amounts.
(1) Upon a Termination (unless such termination is by the General Partner because of a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor or occurs upon a Change of Control) and subject to Sections 5.1D(2) and 5.1F, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute an amount to the Special Limited Partner in redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the net Appraised Value of the Partnership’s direct and indirect assets on the Termination Date plus the total Distributions paid from the Company’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Priority Return from inception through the Termination Date. The Partnership shall pay such amount, with interest, at such time as the Partnership completes the first Sale after the Termination Date; provided, however, the Special Limited Partner may elect to defer its right to be redeemed until either a Listing or other direct or indirect liquidity event for the Partnership. Payment shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale. Interest will accrue beginning on the Termination Date at a rate deemed fair and reasonable by the General Partner on the Termination Date. The Partnership and the General Partner shall have the option to pay such amount in the form of cash, REIT Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after the Termination Date are insufficient to pay such amount in full, plus accrued interest, then such amount shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales until the amount is paid in full, with interest. If such amount has not been paid in full within five years from the Termination Date, then the Special Limited Partner, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the amount, including accrued but unpaid interest, into REIT Shares at a price per REIT Share equal to the average closing price of the REIT Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election if the REIT Shares are Listed at such time. If the REIT Shares are not Listed at such time, the Special Limited Partner, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the amount, including accrued but unpaid interest, into REIT Shares at a price per REIT Share equal to the fair market value for the REIT Shares as determined by the General Partner based upon the net Appraised Value of the Partnership’s assets on the date of election.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Termination occurs upon a Change of Control, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Special Limited Partner in redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the net value of the Partnership’s assets on the Termination Date, as determined in good faith by the General Partner, including a majority of the Independent Directors of the General Partner, based upon such factors as the consideration paid in connection with the Change of Control and the most recent Appraised Value, plus the total Distributions paid from the General Partner’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Priority Return from inception through the Termination Date. No deferral of such payment may be made.
(3) In the event the Special Limited Partner disagrees with the valuation of REIT Shares pursuant to Section 5.1D(1) where the REIT Shares are not Listed for purposes of determining the number of REIT Shares to be issued to the Special Limited Partner following the Special Limited Partner’s election to convert the balance owed to the Special Limited Partner, then the fair market value of such REIT Shares shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser of equity value selected by the Special Limited Partner.
E. Investment Liquidity Events. For the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds of an Investment Liquidity Event shall be allocated among and paid to the Partners in the same manner as Net Sales Proceeds are distributed pursuant to Section 5.1B.
F. Additional Distribution Rules.
(1) Any distributions and redemptions made pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be made without economic duplication taking into account the intent of the provisions herein.
(2) If the priority distribution of Net Sales Proceeds to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Article 5 prevents the Partnership from being able to distribute sufficient amounts to the General Partner to enable the General Partner to satisfy the REIT Requirement, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Partnership to distribute some or all of the Net Sales Proceeds to the General Partner in an amount sufficient to enable the General Partner to pay dividends to the Stockholders in order to satisfy the REIT Requirements; provided, the Special Limited Partner shall be made whole with future distributions as soon as possible thereafter.
(3) In no event may any Partner receive a distribution pursuant to Sections 5.1A or 5.1B with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution with respect to Common Stock for which such a Partnership Unit has been exchanged.
G. Special Fees. Consistent with Section 4.9, if the Partnership directly or indirectly incurs Special Fees: (i) Available Cash or Net Sales Proceeds, as the case may be, available for distribution under this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to be increased by the Special Fees to the extent that Available Cash or Net Sales Proceeds have been previously reduced by such fees; and (ii) the amounts otherwise distributable among the Classes of OP Units based on such deemed increase shall then be reduced (without duplication of any prior reductions made under this Section 5.1G) to reflect their appropriate shares of the Special Fees. For example, if the Partnership has Available Cash of $1,000 after taking into account a distribution and shareholder servicing fee of $200 that is required to be borne entirely by the Partners holding Class T OP Units and Class T2 OP Units, Available Cash shall be increased to $1,200 for purposes of this Section 5.1 and the amounts otherwise distributable to the Class T OP Units and Class T2 OP Units under this Section 5.1 shall be reduced by $200.
Section 5.2 Qualification as a REIT.
The General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to the General Partner under this Article 5 to enable the General Partner to pay dividends to the Stockholders that will enable the General Partner to (a) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be bound to comply with this covenant to the extent (a) the General Partner has
determined not to continue to qualify as a REIT, or (b) such distributions would (i) violate applicable Delaware law, or (ii) contravene the terms of any notes, mortgages or other types of debt obligations to which the Partnership may be subject in conjunction with borrowed funds.
Section 5.3 Withholding.
With respect to any withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation to which the Partnership may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Partner or the Special Limited Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any Partnership Unit or the Special Limited Partner Interest, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts distributable pursuant to this Article V to such Partner or the Special Limited Partner or with respect to such Partnership Units or the Special Limited Partner Interest, to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 10.5, and the amount of any withholding shall reduce the right of such Partner or the Special Limited Partner to future distribution to the extent provided in Section 10.5.
Section 5.4 Additional Partnership Interests.
If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.4, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1 shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect the distribution priority of such Partnership Interests and corresponding amendments shall be made to the provisions of Exhibit B.
Section 5.5 Distributions in Kind.
Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind to the Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10.
Section 5.6 Distributions upon Liquidation.
Notwithstanding Section 5.1, proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2.
Section 5.7 Distribution Limitation.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 5, the General Partner shall have the power, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the distributions to the Special Limited Partner to the extent necessary to avoid violations of the “2%/25% Guidelines” as described in the Advisory Agreement.
ARTICLE 6

Each of the Limited Partners acknowledges that, in exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken (or not taken) by the General Partner. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Partner under this Agreement as a result of any income tax liability incurred by a Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement. There may be circumstances in which the fiduciary duties that the General Partner owes to the Limited Partners conflicts with any duties that the officers and directors of General Partner owe to its stockholders. For so long as the General Partner owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the General Partner’s stockholders.
F. Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.
Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership.
To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and to maintain the Partnership’s qualification to do business as a foreign limited partnership in each other state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(4), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware, any other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.
Section 7.3 Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority.
A. The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of the Limited Partners and the Special Limited Partner, and may not (i) perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any other liability except as provided herein or under the Act; or (ii) enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the ability of a Limited Partner to exercise its rights to a Redemption in full, except in each case with the written consent of such Limited Partner.
B. The General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Partners (in addition to any Consent of the Limited Partners required by any other provision hereof), or except as provided in Section 7.3D, amend, modify or terminate this Agreement.
C. The General Partner may not cause the Partnership to take any action which the General Partner would be prohibited from taking directly under the General Partner’s bylaws as in effect from time to time.
D. Notwithstanding Section 7.3B, the General Partner shall have the exclusive power to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:
(1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;
(2) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Sections 4.4B and 5.4 or the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement (which may be effected through the replacement of Exhibit A with an amended Exhibit A);
(3) to set forth or amend the designations, rights, powers, duties and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article 4;
(4) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;
(5) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law;
(6) to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the General Partner to maintain its status as a REIT or to mitigate any otherwise payable U.S. federal income or excises taxes, including changes which may be necessitated due to a change in applicable law (or an authoritative interpretation thereof) or a ruling of the IRS;
(7) to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed or allocations of items thereto are made; and
(8) to amend or modify any provision of this Agreement to reflect a statutory or regulatory change regarding the federal income tax treatment of the “profits interest” of the Special Limited Partner or to ensure that the receipt of the Special Limited Partner’s profits interest will not result in taxation to the Special Limited Partner.
The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 7.3D is taken.
E. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3B and 7.3D, this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Partner adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of such Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partner’s interest (except as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5 or Section 13.2A(4), or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.4, 5.4, and Section 7.3D(2)), (iv) materially alter or modify the rights to a Redemption or the REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Section 8.6, and related definitions hereof, or (v) amend this Section 7.3E. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 or in Section 11.2A without the Consent specified in such section. This Section 7.3E does not require unanimous consent of all Partners adversely affected unless the amendment is to be effective against all partners adversely affected.
Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner.
A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.
B. The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner is hereby authorized to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Partnership. Except to the extent provided in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses that the General Partner and its Affiliates incur relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, administrative expenses); provided, that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that all such expenses of the General Partner are deemed to be for the benefit of the Partnership. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including
the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner, with any Special Fees allocated to the applicable class or series of Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership that correspond to the REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock, or New Securities issued by the General Partner.
C. If the General Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders REIT Shares for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future or for the purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be advanced to the General Partner or reimbursed to the General Partner, subject to the condition that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the General Partner, the General Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the General Partner for such REIT Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided, that a transfer of REIT Shares for OP Units pursuant to Section 8.6 would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the General Partner within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or the General Partner otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the General Partner, shall cause the Partnership to redeem a number of OP Units held by the General Partner equal to the number of such REIT Shares, as adjusted (x) pursuant to Section 7.5 (in the event the General Partner acquires material assets, other than on behalf of the Partnership) and (y) for stock dividends and distributions, stock splits and subdivisions, reverse stock splits and combinations, distributions of rights, warrants or options, and distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets relating to assets not received by the General Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership (in which case such advancement or reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in redemption of such number of OP Units held by the General Partner).
D. As set forth in Section 4.4, the General Partner shall be treated as having made a Capital Contribution in the amount of all expenses that it incurs relating to the General Partner’s offering of REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities.
E. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.
Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner.
A. Except in connection with a transaction authorized in Section 11.2, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General Partner and the management of the business of the Partnership, its operation as a public reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, its operation as a REIT and such activities as are incidental to the same. Without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, participate in or otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal property, except its General Partner Interest, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership’s status as a partnership, and such bank accounts, similar instruments or other short term investments as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter. In the event the General Partner desires to contribute cash to any Subsidiary Partnership to acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, the General Partner may acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, and the General Partner may acquire such cash from the Partnership as a loan or in exchange for a reduction in the General Partner’s OP Units, in an amount equal to the amount of such cash divided
by the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on the day such cash is received by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may acquire Investments or other assets in exchange for REIT Shares or cash, to the extent such Investments or other assets are immediately contributed by the General Partner to the Partnership, pursuant to the terms described in Section 4.4. Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the General Partner, whether pursuant to exercise by a Limited Partner of its right of Redemption, or otherwise, shall be automatically converted into a General Partner Interest comprised of an identical number of OP Units with the same rights, priorities and preferences as the class or series so acquired. The General Partner may also own one hundred percent (100%) of the stock or interests of one or more Qualified REIT Subsidiaries or limited liability companies, respectively, provided that any such entity shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 7.5A. If, at any time, the General Partner acquires material assets (other than Partnership Interests or other assets on behalf of the Partnership) the definition of “REIT Shares Amount” and the definition of “Deemed Value of Partnership Interests” shall be adjusted, as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to reflect the relative Fair Market Value of a share of capital stock of the General Partner relative to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of the related Partnership Unit. The General Partner’s General Partner Interest in the Partnership, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) (held directly or indirectly through a Qualified REIT Subsidiary) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership’s status as a partnership, and interests in such short-term liquid investments, bank accounts or similar instruments as the General Partner deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter are interests which the General Partner is permitted to acquire and hold for purposes of this Section 7.5A.
B. In the event the General Partner exercises its rights under the Charter to purchase REIT Shares, other common stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from it a number of OP Units equal to the number of REIT Shares and of the same class, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be, so purchased on the same terms that the General Partner purchased such REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be.
Section 7.6 Contracts with Affiliates.
A. The Partnership may lend or contribute to Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.
B. Except as provided in Section 7.5A, the Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems advisable.
C. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries.
D. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable.
E. The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of the Partnership and the General Partner, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.
Section 7.7 Indemnification.
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless (1) Section 12.2.2 of the Charter of the General Partner prohibits the corporation from indemnifying the Indemnitee for a tax matter, in which case the Partnership shall likewise be prohibited from indemnifying the Indemnitee for the matter, or (2) it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith, fraud or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7A. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the General Partner and any Indemnitee, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership.
B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’ s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.7 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
E. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of Section 7.7; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.
F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.
G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
I. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.
J. Any indemnification hereunder is subject to, and limited by, the provisions of Section 17-108 of the Act and Section 12.2.2 of the Charter.
K. In the event the Partnership is made a party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of or in connection with any Partner’s personal obligations or liabilities unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership for all such loss and expense incurred, including legal fees, and the Partnership interest of such Partner may be charged therefor. The liability of a Partner under this Section 7.7K shall not be limited to such Partner’s Partnership Interest, but shall be enforceable against such Partner personally.
Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner.
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the General Partner nor any of its officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees, or their successors or assigns, for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith.
B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the General Partner’s stockholders collectively. The General Partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the General Partner’s stockholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. If there is a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the General Partner on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner, owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders. The General Partner shall not be liable under this Agreement to the Partnership or to any Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions; provided, that the General Partner has acted in good faith.
C. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1A, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.
D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the General Partner and any of its officers, directors, agents and employee’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.
(1) The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(2) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which such General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
(3) The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to protect the ability of the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to (i) continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) avoid the General Partner incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.
Section 7.10 Title to Partnership Assets.
Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partners, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more subsidiaries or nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership, a subsidiary or a nominee thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.
Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.
Section 8.3 Outside Activities of Limited Partners.
Subject to any agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the General Partner, Partnership or a Subsidiary, any Limited Partner and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or stockholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person, other than the Limited Partners benefiting from the business conducted by the General Partner, and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.
Section 8.4 Return of Capital.
Except pursuant to the rights of Redemption set forth in Section 8.6, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of his or her Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. No Limited Partner or Assignee shall have
priority over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, or as to profits, losses, distributions or credits.
Section 8.5 Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the Partnership.
A. In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5C, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s expense:
(1) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the General Partner pursuant to the Exchange Act, and each communication sent to the stockholders of the General Partner;

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
Section 8.6 Redemption Rights.
A. At any time after one year following the date of issuance of any OP Units to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such agreement, as applicable) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by such Limited Partner (such OP Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount (a “Redemption”); provided that the terms of such OP Units do not provide that such OP Units are not entitled to a right of Redemption. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in a separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and the holders of such OP Units, all OP Units, including Class A OP Units, Class I OP Units, Class T2 OP Units and Class T OP Units, shall be entitled to a right of Redemption hereunder. The Tendering Partner shall have no right, with respect to any OP Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid on or after the Specified Redemption Date. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by the Limited Partner who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Partner”). The Cash Amount shall be payable to the Tendering Partner within ten (10) days of the Specified Redemption Date in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice of Redemption.
B. Notwithstanding Section 8.6A above, if a Limited Partner has delivered to the General Partner a Notice of Redemption then the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter), elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount (as of the Specified Redemption Date) and, if the General Partner so elects, the Tendering Partner shall sell the Tendered Units to the General Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering Partner shall have no right to cause the Partnership to redeem such Tendered Units. The General Partner shall promptly give such Tendering Partner written notice of its election, and the Tendering Partner may elect to withdraw its redemption request at any time prior to the acceptance of the cash or REIT Shares Amount by such Tendering Partner.
C. The REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the General Partner, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement with respect to such REIT Shares entered into by the Tendering Partner. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 8.6E), the Tendering Partner shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares for all purposes, including without limitation, rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date.
D. Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Tendered Units shall be delivered to the General Partner free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Tendered Units, the General Partner shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Tendered Units to the General Partner (or its designee), such Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6A, 8.6B, 8.6C or any other provision of this Agreement, a Limited Partner (i) shall not be entitled to effect a Redemption for cash or an exchange for REIT Shares to the extent the ownership or right to acquire REIT Shares pursuant to such exchange by such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date could cause such Partner or any other Person, or, in the opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner, may cause such Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter and (ii) shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire REIT Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. To the extent any attempted Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares would be in violation of this Section 8.6E, it shall be null and void ab initio and such Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such Redemption or the REIT Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.
F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.6E), with respect to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to this Section 8.6:
(1) All OP Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant thereto shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be Limited Partner Interests comprised of the same number and class of OP Units.
(2) A Limited Partner may not effect a Redemption for less than one thousand (1,000) OP Units or, if such Partner holds less than one thousand (1,000) OP Units, such Partner may effect a Redemption only with respect to all OP Units held by such Partner.
(3) A Tendering Partner may not effect more than two (2) Redemptions in a single calendar year.
(4) Without the consent of the General Partner, a Limited Partner may not effect a Redemption during the period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution.
(5) The consummation of any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
(6) Each Tendering Partner shall continue to own all OP Units subject to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares, and be treated as a Partner with respect to such OP Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such OP Units are transferred to the General Partner and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Partner shall have no rights as a stockholder of the General Partner with respect to such Tendering Partner’s OP Units.
(7) The General Partner shall be entitled to impose restrictions on the amount of and manner in which OP Units are Redeemed or exchanged pursuant to this Section 8.6 to the extent the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, such restrictions are necessary or advisable to reduce any risk of the OP Units being treated as “traded on an established securities market” or “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
G. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.4B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.
H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law that apply upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units. If a Tendering Partner believes that it is exempt from withholding upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units, such Partner must furnish the General Partner a FIRPTA certificate or other documentation requested by the General Partner is a form acceptable to the General Partner. If the Partnership or the General Partner is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units and the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as the case may be, equals or exceeds the amount of tax required to be withheld, the amount withheld shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its Tendered Units. If the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as the case may be, is less than the amount of tax required to be withheld, the Tendering Partner shall not receive any Cash Amount or REIT Shares Amount, and the Tendering Partner shall contribute the excess of the amount of tax required to be withheld over the Cash Amount or REIT Shares Amount before such excess taxes are required to be paid to the taxing authority.

Any records maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of any information storage device, provided, that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time.

B. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter (except the last calendar quarter of each year), or such earlier date as they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the General Partner shall cause to be delivered to the Special Limited Partner and each Limited Partner as of the last day of the calendar quarter, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner, if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate.
Section 9.4 Nondisclosure of Certain Information.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.3, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Special Limited Partner and the Limited Partners any information that the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Partnership or which the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
ARTICLE 10
TAX MATTERS
Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns.
The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for federal and applicable state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within 90 days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by the Special Limited Partner and the Limited Partners for federal and applicable state income tax reporting purposes. The Special Limited Partner and each Limited Partner shall promptly provide the General Partner with any information reasonably requested by the General Partner relating to any Contributed Property contributed (directly or indirectly) by such Partner to the Partnership.
Section 10.2 Tax Elections.
A. Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including the election under Section 754 of the Code. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including without limitation, any election under Section 754 of the Code) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is the best interests of the Partners.
B. The Partners, intending to be legally bound, hereby authorize the Partnership to make an election (the “Safe Harbor Election”) to have the “liquidation value” safe harbor provided in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(1) and the Proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43, as such safe harbor may be modified when such proposed guidance is issued in final form or as amended by subsequently issued guidance (the “Safe Harbor”), apply to any interest in the Partnership transferred to a service provider while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective, to the extent such interest meets the Safe Harbor requirements (collectively, such interests are referred to as “Safe Harbor Interests”). The General Partner is authorized and directed to execute and file any Safe Harbor Election on behalf of the Partnership and the Partners. The Partnership and the Partners (including any person to whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred in connection with the performance of services) hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor (including forfeiture allocations) with respect to all Safe Harbor Interests and to prepare and file all U.S. federal
income tax returns reporting the tax consequences of the issuance and vesting of Safe Harbor Interests consistent with such final Safe Harbor guidance. The General Partner is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to achieve, under the Safe Harbor, the effect that the election and compliance with all requirements of the Safe Harbor referred to above would be intended to achieve under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3, including amending this Agreement.
Section 10.3 [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 10.4 [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 10.5 Withholding.
Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Partner any amount of federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 (including Section 1446(f)) of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to the Special Limited Partner or a Limited Partner shall constitute a receivable of the Partnership from such Partner, which receivable shall be paid by such Partner within 15 days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Partner. The Special Limited Partner and each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. Any amounts payable by the Special Limited Partner or a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus two percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. The Special Limited Partner and each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.
ARTICLE 11
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Section 11.1 Transfer.
A. The term “transfer”, when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which a Partner purports to assign its Partnership Interest to another Person and includes a sale, assignment, gift (outright or in trust), pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6, except as otherwise provided herein. No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement or consented to by the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner.
B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio unless otherwise consented to by the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 11.2 Transfer of the Partnership Interest of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner.
A. The General Partner may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw as General Partner, or Transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest, except (i) if holders of at least two-thirds of the Limited Partner Interests consent to such Transfer or withdrawal; (ii) if such Transfer is to an entity which is wholly owned by the General Partner and is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary; or (iii) in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2C or 11.2D (as applicable).
B. In the event the General Partner withdraws as general partner of the Partnership in accordance with Section 11.2A, the General Partner’s General Partner Interest shall immediately be converted into a Limited Partner Interest.
C. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2D, the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination of the General Partner with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the General Partner is the surviving entity) or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any reclassification, or any recapitalization of outstanding REIT Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of REIT Stock) (a “Transaction”), unless in connection with the Transaction all Limited Partners will either receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each OP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount of cash, securities or other property or value paid in the Transaction to or received by a holder of one REIT Share corresponding to such OP Unit in consideration of one REIT Share (subject to any adjustments set forth in the definition of the “REIT Shares Amount” as determined by the General Partner) at any time during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is consummated; provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer (“Offer”) shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of OP Units shall be given the option to exchange its OP Units for the amount of cash, securities, or other property which a Limited Partner would have received had it (i) exercised its right of Redemption and (ii) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received upon exercise of the right of Redemption immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer.
The foregoing is not intended to, and does not, affect the ability of (i) a stockholder of the General Partner to sell its stock in the General Partner or (ii) the General Partner to perform its obligations (under agreement or otherwise) to such stockholders (including the fulfillment of any obligations with respect to registering the sale of stock under applicable securities laws).
D. Notwithstanding Section 11.2C, the General Partner may merge into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation: (i) substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Surviving General Partner”), other than OP Units held by the General Partner, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for OP Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in good faith and (ii) the Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner hereunder.
Upon such contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 11.2D. The Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the REIT Shares Amount for an OP Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and which a holder of OP Units could have acquired had such OP Units been redeemed for REIT Shares immediately prior to such merger or consolidation. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in the definition of REIT Shares Amount.
The above provisions of this Section 11.2D shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder.
E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Limited Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right, at any time, to transfer its Partnership Interest to the General Partner, an Affiliate of the General Partner, or an Affiliate of the Special Limited Partner.
Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer.
A. Prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, no Limited Partner shall transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that any Limited Partner may, at any time, without the consent of the General Partner, (i) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to the General Partner, (ii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to an Affiliate, another original Limited Partner or to an Immediate Family Member, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, (iii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or to a charitable foundation, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, and (iv) subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a lending institution, which is not an Affiliate of such Limited Partner, as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension or credit, and the transfer of such pledged Partnership Interest by the lender to any transferee. Each Limited Partner or Assignee (resulting from a transfer made pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) of the proviso of the preceding sentence) shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6 and the satisfaction of each of the following conditions (in addition to the right of each such Limited Partner or Assignee to continue to make any such transfer permitted by clauses (i)-(iv) of such proviso without satisfying either of the following conditions):
(1) General Partner Right of First Refusal. The transferring Partner shall give written notice of the proposed transfer to the General Partner, which notice shall state (i) the identity of the proposed transferee, and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the transferred OP Units. The General Partner shall have ten (10) business days upon which to give the transferring Partner notice of its election to acquire the OP Units on the proposed terms. If it so elects, it shall purchase the OP Units on such terms within ten (10) business days after giving notice of such election. If it does not so elect, the transferring Partner may transfer such OP Units to a third party, on economic terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 11.3.
(2) Qualified Transferee. Any transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to Qualified Transferees. It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter, which may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, and to the representations in Section 3.4.D. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5.
B. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but
not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.
C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of his or her OP Units if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the Partnership or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit.
Section 11.4 Substituted Limited Partners.
A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his or her place (including any transferee permitted by Section 11.3). The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action, whether at law or in equity, against the Partnership or any Partner.
B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the General Partner an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission), each in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner) and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the transfer of the Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations and warranties.
C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of OP Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.
Section 11.5 Assignees.
If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Loss, gain and loss attributable to the OP Units assigned to such transferee, the rights to transfer the OP Units provided in this Article 11, the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of OP Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent with respect to such OP Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such Consent remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of OP Units. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition to becoming an Assignee, any prospective Assignee must first execute and deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgment that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such prospective Assignee as of the date of the prospective assignment of the Partnership Interest to such prospective Assignee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations or warranties.
Section 11.6 General Provisions.
A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of (i) a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s OP Units in accordance with this Article 11 and the transferee(s) of such Partnership Units being admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner or (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its right of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s OP Units under Section 8.6; provided that after such transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Interest.
B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of such Limited Partner’s OP Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner or pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s OP Units under Section 8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that after such transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Interest.
C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees.
D. If any Partnership Interest is transferred, assigned or redeemed during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s Partnership Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or transferred or redeemed pursuant to Section 8.6, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Partnership Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year using a method selected by the General Partner that is in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code. Except as otherwise agreed by the General Partner, all distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment, exchange or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, shall be made to the transferee Partner.
E. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without limitation the provisions of this Article 11, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to a Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares by the Partnership or the General Partner) be made (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest;; (iv) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all Partnership Interests held by all Limited Partners); (v) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vi) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (vii) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (viii) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such transfer (1) could be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (2) could cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code, (3) could be in violation of Section 3.4.E(5), or (4) could cause the Partnership to fail one or more of the PTP Safe Harbors (as defined below); (ix) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (x) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, if the transferee or assignee of such Partnership Interest is unable to make the representations set forth in Section 3.4C; (xi) if such transfer is made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; and provided, that, as a condition to granting
such consent the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any OP Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code; or (xii) if in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership such transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.
F. The General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership (including any acquisition of OP Units by the Partnership or the General Partner) to determine (i) if such interests could be treated as being traded on an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof), within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (ii) whether such transfers of interests could result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof), within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “PTP Safe Harbors”). The General Partner shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent any trading of interests which could cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704, or any recognition by the Partnership of such transfers, or to ensure that one or more of the PTP Safe Harbors is met.
Section 11.7 Put Right of General Partner.
The General Partner shall have the right at any time (the “GP Put Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem any portion of the General Partner Interest for the purpose of providing the General Partner with sufficient funds to enable it to make repurchases of its stock. The General Partner shall exercise the GP Put Right at any time by providing the Partnership with written notice of its desire to exercise the GP Put Right. The purchase price to be paid by the Partnership for the portion of the General Partner Interest that the General Partner desires to be redeemed shall equal the fair market value of such portion as determined by Appraisal, and shall be paid in cash within one hundred twenty (120) days after the General Partner provides the written notice required under this Section 11.7. In the event that the General Partner exercises the GP Put Right, the OP Units held by the General Partner shall be reduced as appropriate.
ARTICLE 12
ADMISSION OF PARTNERS
Section 12.1 Admission of Successor General Partner.
A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission. In the case of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, all items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Partnership Year shall be allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Article 11.
Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners.
A. After the admission to the Partnership of the initial Limited Partners on the date hereof, a Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be
required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner.
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the receipt of the Capital Contribution in respect of such Limited Partner and the consent of the General Partner to such admission. If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year using a method selected by the General Partner that is in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner (other than in its capacity as an Assignee) and, except as otherwise agreed to by the Additional Limited Partners and the General Partner, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.
Section 12.3 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership.
For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4.
ARTICLE 13
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
Section 13.1 Dissolution.
The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner (selected as described in Section 13.1B below) shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):
A. the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5;
B. an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act, unless, within 90 days after the withdrawal, all of the remaining Partners agree in writing, in their sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;
C. subject to compliance with Section 11.2, an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion;
D. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;
E. any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or a related series of transactions that, taken together, result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership;
F. the Incapacity of the General Partner, unless all of the remaining Partners in their sole and absolute discretion agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such Incapacity, of a substitute General Partner;
G. the redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all Partnership Interests (other than those of the General Partner) pursuant to this Agreement; or
H. a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment all of the remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner.
Section 13.2 Winding Up.
A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(1) First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;
(2) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner;
(3) Third, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the other Partners; and
(4) The balance, if any, to the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and the Limited Partners in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for all prior periods and the Partnership taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of the liquidating distribution set forth in this Section 13.2A(4)).
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2A which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2A, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in-kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in-kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
Section 13.3 Capital Contribution Obligation.
A. If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for the taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit at any time shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership.
Section 13.4 Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations.
In the discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:
(1) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, in the same proportions and the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or
(2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and priority set forth in Section 13.2A as soon as practicable.
Section 13.5 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership. Immediately thereafter, the Partnership shall be deemed to distribute interests in the new partnership to the General Partner and Limited Partners in proportion to their respective interests in the Partnership in liquidation of the Partnership.
Section 13.6 Rights of Limited Partners.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of his Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property from the General Partner. No Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of his Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
Section 13.7 Notice of Dissolution.
In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within 30 days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner).
Section 13.8 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership.
Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions shall be cancelled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.
Section 13.9 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up.
A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Partners during the period of liquidation.
Section 13.10 Waiver of Partition.
Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

Annex A
Annex A – Certain Audit Matters
(a) Appointment; Resignation. The Partners hereby appoint Kay C. Neely as the “partnership representative” as provided in Code Section 6223(a) (the “Partnership Representative”). The Partnership Representative can be removed at any time by a vote of the General Partner. The Partnership Representative shall resign if he is no longer a direct or indirect member of the Partnership. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Partnership Representative, the General Partner shall select a replacement Partnership Representative. If the resignation or removal of the Partnership Representative occurs prior to the effectiveness of the resignation or removal under applicable Treasury Regulations or other administrative guidance, the Partnership Representative that has resigned or been removed shall not take any actions in his capacity as Partnership Representative except as directed by the General Partner.
(b) Tax Examinations and Audits. The Partnership Representative shall promptly notify the Partners of the commencement of any tax audit of the Partnership, upon receipt of a tax assessment and upon the receipt of a notice of final partnership administrative adjustment or final partnership adjustment and shall keep the Partners reasonably informed of the status of any tax audit or resulting administrative or judicial proceeding. Without the consent of the General Partner, the Partnership Representative shall not extend the statute of limitations, file a request for administrative adjustment, file suit relating to any Partnership tax refund or deficiency or enter into any settlement agreement relating to items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership with any taxing authority.
(c) Elections. With respect to any imputed underpayment, the Partnership Representative shall take such actions, on a timely basis, as directed by the General Partner, including whether to (i) file a petition for readjustment in the Tax Court, federal district court, or the Court of Federal Claims, (ii) cause the Partnership to pay the imputed underpayment under Code Section 6225, or (iii) make the election under Code Section 6226. If the General Partner directs the Partnership Representative to cause the Partnership to pay the imputed underpayment under Code Section 6225, (A) the Partners shall take such actions as requested by the Partnership Representative, including filing amended tax returns and paying any tax due under Code Section 6225(c)(2)(A) or paying any tax due and providing applicable information to the Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 6225(c)(2)(B) and (B) the Partnership shall make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c)(3), (4), and (5) as directed by the General Partner. If the Partnership economically bears (or is required to economically bear) any imputed underpayment and the General Partner determines that any portion of such liability is attributable to a Partner or former Partner, then such amount shall be paid by such Person to the Partnership. Any such payment made by a Partner shall not be treated as a capital contribution, except to the extent required for purposes of maintaining Capital Account balances. Any amount not paid by a Partner or former Partner within fifteen (15) days of a request by the Partnership Representative pursuant to this clause (c) shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of fifteen (15%) and the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any imputed underpayment amount paid by the Partnership on behalf of a Partner and not reimbursed by that Partner shall be treated as a distribution to such Partner.
(d) Tax Returns and Tax Deficiencies. Each Partner agrees that such Partner shall not treat any Partnership item inconsistently on such Partner’s federal, state, foreign, or other income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Partnership’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Partner or former Partner (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes, and any taxes imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226) shall be paid by such Partner or former Partner and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Partnership, will be recoverable from such Partner or former Partner.
(e) Cooperation by Partners and Former Partners. Each Partner and former Partner shall provide such cooperation and assistance, including timely executing and filing forms or other statements and providing
information about the Partner, as is reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative to enable the Partnership to satisfy any applicable tax reporting or compliance requirements, to make any tax election or to qualify for an exception from or reduced rate of tax or other tax benefit or be relieved of liability for any tax regardless of whether such requirement, tax benefit or tax liability existed on the date such Partner was admitted to the Partnership. If a Partner fails to provide any such forms, statements, or other information requested by the Partnership Representative, such Partner shall indemnify the Partnership for the share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Partnership that is due to such failure (as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative).
(f) Indemnification of Partnership Representative. The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act and other applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, indemnify and hold harmless any Person who serves as Partnership Representative, or as an officer or director of a corporate Partnership Representative, with respect to any claim or demand against such Person and any debt, obligation or other liability incurred by such Person by reason of such Person’s former or present capacity as the Partnership Representative (or as an officer or director of a corporate Partnership Representative). The indemnification provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any Person may be entitled under this Agreement, or under any applicable law, other agreement, vote of the General Partners, or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph (g), any provisions of the Act that restrict or prohibit the Partnership from indemnifying a General Partner shall be deemed to also restrict or prohibit the Partnership from indemnifying any Person who serves as Partnership Representative, or as an officer or director of a corporate Partnership Representative. Any amendment, modification or repeal of any portion of this paragraph (g) shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Partnership Representative in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
(2) (h) Tax Matters Partner. For tax returns filed with respect to taxable years beginning before December 31, 2017, this clause (g) shall apply, and references to Code sections in this clause (g) refer to the Code sections as in effect prior to such sections’ amendment by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (P.L. 114-74). The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership (“Tax Matters Partner”) with respect to such returns and years (any federal income tax audit matters relating to such a return or year, a “Pre-BBA Matter”). With respect to Pre-BBA Matters, the Tax Matters Partner is authorized to take any and all actions that it deems to be necessary or appropriate, and each other Partner hereby agrees to be bound by (and to take any actions necessary to give effect to) any such actions and decisions that the tax matters partner determines with respect to Pre-BBA Matters. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax Matters Partner in such capacity, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tax Matters Partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 shall be fully applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as such. The Tax Matters Partner shall receive no compensation for its services as such. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the Partnership.
(a) Tax Counsel. The Partnership Representative and Tax Matters Partner may employ tax counsel to represent the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or investigation of the Partnership and any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of such audit. The fees and expenses of such counsel shall be a Partnership expense and shall be paid by the Partnership.
(b) Survival. The obligations of each Partner or former Partner under this Annex A shall survive the transfer or redemption by such Partner of its partnership interest, the termination of this Agreement, or the dissolution of the Partnership.

EXHIBIT B
ALLOCATIONS
For purposes of this Exhibit B, the term “Partner” shall include the Special Limited Partner.
1. Allocations.
(a) Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraph 1(c) and paragraph 2, Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated among the General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(b) Allocations of Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations in paragraph 2, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, credit, loss and deduction comprising Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner determined in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period to equal (i) the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1B of the Agreement if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full in accordance with Section 5.1B to the Partners immediately after making such allocations, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.
For purposes of subparagraphs 1(a) and 1(b), Partners holding a class or series of Partnership Units that are burdened by Special Fees that are not applicable to all Partnership Units within such class (such as the distribution and servicing fee described in the General Partner’s Prospectus, which is not applicable to Class T OP Units or Class T OP Units corresponding to Class T REIT Shares or Class T2 REIT Shares, as applicable, purchased through the General Partner’s dividend reinvestment plan), shall also be deemed to be a separate Partner with respect to each group of such class or series of Partnership Units.
2. Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the following special allocations shall be made.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f) and (i) of the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(a) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain to the extent and in the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2) of the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations).
(f) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.
(g) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other applicable period which is in excess of the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subparagraph 2(g) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided for under this Agreement have been tentatively made as if subparagraph 2(c) and this subparagraph 2(g) were not in this Agreement.
3. Curative Allocations and Similar Rules. The General Partner is authorized to offset all Regulatory Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this paragraph 3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations and Tax Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the General Partner determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement. In addition, in the event the General Partner determines the allocation provisions of the Agreement and this Exhibit B result in allocations or Capital Account balances that do not comport with the economic intent of the parties or the intent to treat the Special Limited Partner’s Special Limited Partnership Interest as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the General Partner shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to make such adjustments to such provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate to correct such provisions.
4. Tax Allocations.
(a) Items of Income or Loss. Except as is otherwise provided in this Exhibit B, an allocation of Partnership Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss to a Partner shall be treated as an allocation to such Partner of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and item of tax-exempt income or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure (or item treated as such expenditure pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Regulations) (“Tax Items”) that is taken into account in computing Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss.
(b) Section 1245/1250 Recapture. Subject to subparagraph 4(c) below, if any portion of gain from the sale of Partnership assets is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Code (“Affected Gain”), then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 4(b) shall not alter the amount of Net Income or Net Property Gain (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but merely the character of such Net Income or Net Property Gain (or items thereof). For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss for such respective period.
(c) Precontribution Gain, Revaluations. With respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership shall use any permissible method contained in the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset and the fair market value of such asset as of the time of the contribution (“Precontribution Gain”). Each Partner hereby agrees to report income, gain, loss and deduction on such Partner’s federal income tax return in a manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership. If any asset has a Gross Asset Value which is different from the Partnership’s adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes because the Partnership has revalued such asset pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the allocations of Tax Items shall be made in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations and the methods of allocation promulgated thereunder. The intent of this subparagraph 4(c) is that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property will bear, through reduced allocations of depreciation, increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments associated with any Precontribution Gain. This subparagraph 4(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such intent.
(d) Excess Nonrecourse Liability Safe Harbor. Pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, solely for purposes of determining each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations), the Partners’ respective interests in Partnership profits shall be determined under any permissible method reasonably determined by the General Partner.
(e) References to Regulations. Any reference in this Exhibit B or the Agreement to a provision of proposed and/or temporary Regulations shall, if such provision is modified or renumbered, be deemed to refer to the successor provision as so modified or renumbered, but only to the extent such successor provision applies to the Partnership under the effective date rules applicable to such successor provision.)
(f) Successor Partners. For purposes of this Exhibit B, a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall be deemed to have been allocated the Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the transferred Partnership Interest that previously have been allocated to the transferor Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENTS
OF THE ENTITIES LISTED ON EXHIBIT A
This OMNIBUS ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENT TO THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENTS (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 4, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and among (i) the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Owners”), (ii) CARTER VALIDUS REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Assignor”) and (iii) CARTER VALIDUS REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT SERVICES II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Assignee”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

The Partnership shall indemnify each Partner and each officer and director of the Partners and of the Partnership (each, a “Covered Person”) to the fullest extent provided by the Delaware RULPA from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts, arising from or in connection with any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, incurred by the Covered Person and relating to the Partnership in which any such Covered Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) the act or omission of the Covered Person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the Covered Person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Covered Person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Covered Person, pursuant to a loan guarantee, contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other obligation or otherwise, for any indebtedness of Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to). The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Covered Person did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.2.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment does not create a rebuttable presumption that the Covered Person acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.2.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding.
B. Reimbursement of Expenses. Reasonable expenses expected to be incurred by a Covered Person shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative made or threatened against a Covered Person upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Covered Person of the Covered Person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in Section 7.2.A has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C. No Limitation of Rights. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Covered Person is indemnified.
ARTICLE 8
Dissolution
8.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up upon the unanimous consent of the Partners, or as required by the Delaware RULPA.
ARTICLE 9
Miscellaneous Provisions
9.1 Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision hereof may be amended, waived, modified or supplemented orally, but only by a written instrument signed by all of the Partners.
9.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of laws principles.
9.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
9.4 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and all other persons hereafter having or holding an interest in the Partnership, whether as assignees, transferees, Limited Partners or otherwise.
9.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be for the benefit of, nor shall they be enforceable by, any person who is not a party to this Agreement.
9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of all parties, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
