NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding, the General Partner hereby amends the Agreement as follows:

1.The preamble of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section 1.

2.The definition of “Advisory Agreement” set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Advisory Agreement” means the Advisory Agreement among CCI, the Partnership and CC Advisors III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, dated May 7, 2021, as amended and restated from time to time.

5.The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the respective Limited Partners.
