Partnership Minimum Gain: The aggregate gain (regardless of character) which would be realized by the Partnership if all of the property of the Partnership subject to nonrecourse debt (other than partner nonrecourse debt as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) were disposed of in full satisfaction of such debt and for no other consideration on the relevant date. In the case of any Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership which is not secured by a mortgage with respect to any specific property of the Partnership, any and all property of the Partnership to which the holder of said liability has recourse shall be treated as subject to such Nonrecourse Liability for purposes of the preceding sentence. Partnership Minimum Gain shall be computed separately for each Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership. For this purpose, the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of equal priority shall be allocated among such liabilities in proportion to the outstanding balance of such liabilities, and the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of unequal priority shall be allocated to the liability of inferior priority only to the extent of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of such property over the outstanding balance of the liability of superior priority. Partnership Minimum Gain shall be computed hereunder using the Book Value, rather than the adjusted tax basis, of the Partnership property in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(3).

Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions: The amount of Partnership deductions equal to the increase, if any, in the amount of the aggregate Partnership Minimum Gain during the tax year (plus any increase in Partnership Minimum Gain for a prior tax year which has not previously generated a Partnership Nonrecourse Deduction) reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the tax year of the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership which are attributable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d). The Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for a Partnership tax year shall consist first of depreciation or cost recovery deductions with respect to each property of the Partnership giving rise to such increase in Partnership Minimum Gain on a pro rata basis to the extent of each such increase, with any excess made up pro rata of all items of deduction.

Partnership Representative: The General Partner or such other Partner who becomes the Partnership Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Partnership Unit: A fractional, undivided share of the Partnership Interests(other than LTIP Units) of all Partners (other than the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner) issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Partnership Unit Economic Balance: The Economic Capital Account Balance of the General Partner but only to the extent attributable to the General Partner’s ownership of Partnership Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through the date on which any allocation is made under Section 5.2(O) divided by the number of the General Partner’s Partnership Units.

Percentage Interest: As to any Partner, the percentage in the Partnership, as determined by dividing the Partnership Units then owned by such Partner by the total number of Partnership Units then outstanding, as the same may be automatically adjusted from time to time to reflect the issuance and redemption of Partnership Units in accordance with this Agreement, without requiring the amendment of Exhibit 1B to reflect any such issuance or redemption; provided that, for purposes of allocations and distributions (i) LTIP Units shall be deemed to be Partnership Units and included in the numerator and denominator for purposes of calculating Percentage Interest and (ii) prior to the Special LTIP Unit Full Participation Date for any Special LTIP Unit, the Percentage Interest for purposes of determining allocations (other than allocations of Liquidating Gains or Losses) and distributions will be calculated by only including in the numerator and denominator a number of such Special LTIP Units equal to the number of such Special LTIP Units outstanding multiplied by the Special LTIP Unit Sharing Percentage for such Special LTIP Units.

Person: Any individual, partnership, corporation, trust or other entity.

Profits and Losses: For each Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the Partnership’s taxable income or loss (as the case may be) for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

a.Any income of the Partnership that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

b.Any expenditures of the Partnership described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition, shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;

c.Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Partnership property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from such Book Value;

d.In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period, computed in accordance with the definition of “Depreciation” herein; and

e.In the event that any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that has been included in the initial computation of Profit or Loss is subject to the special allocation rules of Sections 5.2(C), 5.2(D) and 5.2(I) through 5.2(LO), Profit or Loss shall be recomputed without regard to such item.

Protected Amount: With respect to any Contributor Partner, the amount set forth or otherwise described opposite the name of such Contributor Partner on Exhibit 1D attached hereto and made a part hereof, as such Exhibit may be modified from time to time by an amendment to the Partnership Agreement or by execution of a written instrument by and between the Contributor Partner being affected thereby and the General Partner, acting on behalf of the Partnership and without the prior written consent of the Limited Partners (whether or not Contributor Partners other than the Contributor Partner being affected thereby); provided, however, that no Contributor Partner shall be considered to have a Protected Amount from and following the first date upon which such Partner is no longer a Partner of the Partnership.

(1)First, to the Partners (other than the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner), in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, but not in excess of the positive Adjusted Capital Account balance of any Partner prior to the allocation provided for in this Section 5.2(B)(1);

(2)Second, to the Partners (other than the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner) with positive Adjusted Capital Account balances prior to the allocation provided for in this Section 5.2(B)(2), in proportion to the amount of such balances until all such balances are reduced to zero;

(3)Third, to the General Partner until (i) the excess of (a) the cumulative Losses allocated under this Section 5.2(B)(3), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, over (b) the cumulative Profits allocated under Section 5.2(A)(4), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, equals (ii) the excess of (a) the amount of Recourse Liabilities over (b) the Aggregate Protected Amount;

(4)Fourth, to and among the Contributor Partners, in accordance with their respective Protected Amounts, until the excess of (a) the cumulative Losses allocated under this Section 5.2(B)(4), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, over (b) the cumulative Profits allocated under Section 5.2(A)(3), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, equals the Aggregate Protected Amount (as of the close of the Fiscal Year to which such allocation relates);

(5)Fifth, to the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner, in accordance with their respective Adjusted Capital Accounts, until their Adjusted Capital Accounts are reduced to zero; and

(6)Thereafter, to the General Partner;

provided, however, (i) that, from and following the first Fiscal Year upon which a Contributor Partner is no longer a Partner of the Partnership, the provisions of this Section 5.2(B) shall be null, void and without further force and effect with respect to such Contributor Partner; (ii) that this Section 5.2(B) shall control, notwithstanding any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, loss or other items by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority; provided, however, that neither the Partnership nor the General Partner (nor any of their respective affiliates) is required to indemnify any Contributor Partner (or its affiliates) for the loss of any tax benefit resulting from any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, loss or other items by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority; and (iii) that, during such period as there are Contributor Partners in the Partnership, the provisions of Section 5.2(B)(4) shall not be amended in a manner which adversely affects the Contributor Partners (without the consent of each Contributor Partner so affected).

For purposes of determining allocations of Losses pursuant to Section 5.2B(1) and Section 5.2B(2), an LTIP Unit Limited Partner shall be treated as having a separate Economic Capital Account Balance, and for this purpose a separate Capital Account with an appropriate share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Minimum Gain shall be maintained, for each tranche of LTIP Units with a different issuance date that it holds and a separate Capital Account for its Partnership Units, if applicable, and the Economic Capital Account Balance of each holder of Partnership Units shall not include any Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to other series or classes of Partnership Interests.

(C)Special Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following special allocations will be made in the following order and priority:

(1)Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for which allocations are made, each Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that tax year or other period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such tax year or other period determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(C)(1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions to the minimum gain chargeback requirement set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (3). If the General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the minimum gain chargeback requirement as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4), the General Partner may take steps reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to obtain such waiver.

(2)Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than Section 5.2(C)(1) which shall be applied before this Section 5.2(C)(2)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for which allocations are made, each Partner with a share of Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.2(C)(2) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3) to the extent such exceptions apply to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4). If the General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the Partner Minimum Gain chargeback requirement set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f), but only to the extent such exception applies to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), the General Partner may take steps necessary or appropriate to obtain such waiver.

(3)Qualified Income Offset. A Partner who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(C)(3) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(C)(3) were not contained in this Agreement.

(4)Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(5)Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(6)Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(7)Depreciation Recapture. In the event there is any recapture of Depreciation or investment tax credit, the allocation thereof shall be made among the Partners in the same proportion as the deduction for such Depreciation or investment tax credit was allocated.

(8)Interest in Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no allocation of Profit or Loss (or item of Profit or Loss) will be made to a Partner if the allocation would not have “economic effect” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(a) or otherwise would not be in accordance with the Partner’s interest in the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3).

(D)Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(C)(1) through (8) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is authorized to further allocate Profits, Losses, and other items among the Partners in a reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the Partners under Section 5.3, but for application of the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the reallocation will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the special allocations to each Partner is zero. The General Partner may accomplish this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(E)Tax Allocations.

(1)Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(E)(2), each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as each correlative item of income, gain, loss or deduction, is allocated for book purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof.

(2)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, in an attempt to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to a Contributed Property, items of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to each such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(a)Depreciation, Amortization and Other Cost Recovery Items. In the case of each Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any item of depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance attributable to such property shall be allocated as follows: (x) first, to Partners (the “Non-Contributing Partners”) other than the Partners who contributed such property to the Partnership (or are deemed to have contributed the property pursuant to Section 4.1(A)) (the “Contributing Partners”) in an amount up to the book allocation of such items made to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of book items so allocated to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; and (y) any remaining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. In no event shall the total depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance allocated hereunder exceed the amount of the Partnership’s depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance with respect to such property.

(b)Gain or Loss on Disposition. In the event the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of a Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any gain or loss recognized by the Partnership in connection with such sale or other disposition shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: (x) first, any gain or loss shall be allocated to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests to the extent required to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to such property; and (y) any remaining gain or loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner that the correlative items of book gain or loss are allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

(3)In the event the Book Value of a Partnership Asset (including a Contributed Property) is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4(D) hereof, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction in respect of such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(E)(2) hereof to take into account any variation between the fair market value of the property, as determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, and the Book Value of such property, both determined as of the date of such adjustment.

(4)The General Partner shall have the authority to elect alternative methods to eliminate the Book-Tax Disparity with respect to one or more Contributed Properties, as permitted by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T, and such election shall be binding on all of the Partners.

(5)The Partners hereby intend that the allocation of tax items pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T.

(6)The allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Capital Account balances of the Partners shall be adjusted solely for allocations of “book” items in respect of Partnership Assets pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

(F)Other Allocation Rules. The following rules will apply to the calculation and allocation of Profits, Losses and other items:

(1)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits, Losses and other items allocated to the Partners will be allocated among them in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(2)For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other item allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(3)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction, and other allocations not provided for in this Agreement will be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, provided that any credits shall be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(4)For purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners hereby agree that any Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the aggregate amount of taxable gain that would be allocated to the Partners under Section 704(c) (or in the same manner as Section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of Partnership property) if the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable transaction) all Partnership property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in full satisfaction of such Liabilities and for no other consideration, shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests; provided that the General Partner shall have discretion in any Fiscal Year to allocate such excess Nonrecourse Liabilities among the Partners (a) in a manner reasonably consistent with allocations (that have substantial economic effect) of some other significant item of Partnership income or gain or (b) in accordance with the manner in which it is reasonably expected that the deductions attributable to the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities will be allocated.

(G)Partner Acknowledgment. The Partners agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.2in reporting their shares of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for income tax purposes.

(H)Regulatory Compliance. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 relating to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items for federal income tax purposes are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2, 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

(I)Class C Priority Allocation. The holders of the Class C Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the Fiscal Year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(I) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class C Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(J)Class F Priority Allocation. The holders of Class F Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(J) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class F Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(K)Class G Priority Allocation. The holders of Class G Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(K) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class G Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(L)Class I Priority Allocation. The holders of Class I Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(L) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class I Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(M)Class J Priority Allocation. The holders of Class J Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(M) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class J Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(N)Class K Priority Allocation. The holders of Class K Units shall be allocated gross income such that, from the inception of the partnership through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates, including the year of liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Article X, the sum of all priority allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(MN) equals (or approaches as nearly as possible) the sum of all Class K Priority Return Amounts accrued through the end of the fiscal year to which the allocation relates.

(A)LTIP Allocations. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.2(C) and (I)-(N) hereof and the allocations of Profit under Sections 5.2(A)(1)-(4) (including, for the avoidance of doubt Liquidating Gains that are a component of Profit), and subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.2, but before allocations of Profit are made under Sections 5.2A(5)-(7) or Losses are made under Sections 5.2(B)(1)-(6):

(1)any remaining Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses shall first be allocated among the Partners so as to cause, as nearly as possible, the Economic Capital Account Balances of the LTIP Unit Limited Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP Units to be equal to (i) the Partnership Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their LTIP Units (with respect to each LTIP Unit Limited Partner, the “Target Balance”); provided that no such Liquidating Gains will be allocated with respect to any particular LTIP Unit unless and to the extent that such Liquidating Gains, when aggregated with other Liquidating Gains realized since the issuance of such LTIP Unit, exceed Liquidating Losses realized since the issuance of such LTIP Unit. Any such allocations shall be made among the Partners in proportion to the aggregate amounts required to be allocated to each Partner under this Section 5.2(O). No allocation shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.2(O)(1) that would cause a Partner to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account.

(2)Liquidating Gain or Liquidating Loss allocated to an LTIP Unit Limited Partner under this Section 5.2(O). will be attributed to specific LTIP Units of such LTIP Unit Limited Partner for purposes of determining (i) allocations under this Section 5.2(O), (ii) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP Units on such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital Account and (iii) the ability of such LTIP Unit Limited Partner to convert specific LTIP Units into Partnership Units. Such Liquidating Gain or Liquidating Loss allocated to such LTIP Unit Limited Partner will generally be attributed to LTIP Units so as to equalize the Economic Capital Account Balance associated each LTIP Unit and the Partnership Unit Economic Balance in the following order: (i) first, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than three years, (ii) second, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years, (iii) third, to Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less, (iv) fourth, to Unvested LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require continued employment or service to the General Partner, the Partnership or an Affiliate of either for a certain period of time (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (v) fifth, to other Unvested LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued). Within each category, Liquidating Gain will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on, until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the order of smallest Book-Up Target to largest Book-Up Target.

(3)After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, if, due to distributions with respect to Partnership Units in which the LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any present or former LTIP Unit Limited Partner attributable to such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such LTIP Unit Limited Partner, or Liquidating Gains shall be allocated to the other Partners, to reduce or eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses or Liquidating Gains are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses or gains shall be allocated among Partners in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(4)The parties agree that the intent of this Section 5.2(O) is (i) to the extent possible to make the Economic Capital Account Balance associated with each LTIP Unit economically equivalent to the Partnership Unit Economic Balance and (ii) to allow conversion of an LTIP Unit (assuming prior vesting) into a Partnership Unit when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to Section 5.2(O)(1) so that either its initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in the definition of Target Balance has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section 5.2(O) or to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

(5)In the event that Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses are allocated under this Section 5.2(O), Profits allocable under Sections 5.2A(5)-(7) and any Losses shall be recomputed without regard to the Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses so allocated.

(B)LTIP Forfeitures. If an LTIP Unit Limited Partner forfeits any LTIP Units to which Liquidating Gain has previously been allocated under Section 5.2(O), (I) the portion of such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital Account attributable to such Liquidating Gain allocated to such forfeited LTIP Units will be re-allocated to that LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s remaining LTIP Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such Liquidating Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in Section 5.2(O)(2) above as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to the extent necessary to cause such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to each such LTIP Unit to equal the Partnership Unit Economic Balance and (ii) such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital Account will be reduced by the amount of any such Liquidating Gain not re-allocated pursuant to clause (i) above.

(C)Partnership Unit and LTIP Unit Pro-Rata Profit Allocations. The allocations under Section 5.2A(5)-(6) shall be adjusted so that Profits otherwise allocable under Section 5.2A(5)-(6) for any Fiscal Year (i.e., before the application of this Section 5.2(Q)) with respect to (i) Partnership Units held by the General Partner, (ii) Partnership Units issued on or after December 13, 2018 or (iii) LTIP Units are allocated to the holders of such Partnership Units and LTIP Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 5.3Distributions.

(A)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class C Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class C Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(A) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31of each year, commencing on September 30, 1997 (or in the case of a Class C Unit with a Class C Deemed Original Issue Date after September 30, 1997, on the first such distribution date following the applicable Class C Deemed Original Issue Date); provided that if any such distribution date shall be a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law to close, or a day which is declared a national or New York State holiday (any of the foregoing, a “Non-business Day”), then such distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day which is not a Non-business Day. Class C Priority Return Amounts that are distributable with respect to a period greater or less than a full Class C Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months.

(B)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class F Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class F Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(B) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on each Class F Distribution Date.

(C)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class G Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class G Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(C) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on each Class G Distribution Date.

(D)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class I Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class I Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(D) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on each Class I Distribution Date.

(E)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class J Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class J Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(E) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on each Class J Distribution Date.

(F)The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holder of each Class K Unit an amount in cash equal to the cumulative undistributed Class K Priority Return Amount with respect to each such unit (provided that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 5.3(F) shall not be in excess of the Distributable Cash) on each Class K Distribution Date.

(G)After giving effect to (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F), if applicable, the General Partner shall have the authority to cause the Partnership to make distributions from time to time as it determines, including without limitation, distributions which are sufficient to enable the General Partner to (i) maintain its status as a REIT, (ii) avoid the imposition of any tax under Code Section 857 and (iii) avoid the imposition of any excise tax under Code Section 4981. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 5.3(G), all Distributions pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be made on a pari passu basis.

(H)Distributions pursuant to Section 5.3(G) shall be made pro rata among the Partners of record on the Record Date established by the General Partner for the distribution, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, without regard to the length of time the record holder has been such exceptthat the first distribution paid on PartnershipUnits issued after June 1, 1996 shall be pro rated(other than Partnership Units issued upon conversion of LTIP Units, Partnership Units issued to the General Partner and, if so agreed by the General Partner and a Person receiving newly issued Partnership Units in connection with the issuance thereof, such other newly issued Partnership Units) shall be prorated to reflect the actual portion of the period for which the distribution is being paid during which such PartnershipUnits were outstanding, or shall be in such other amount or computed on such other basis as may be agreed by the General Partner and the holders of suchPartnership Units, provided that such other amount orof the amount so computed, as applicable, may not exceed theaforementioned pro rated amount.that the holders of such Partnership Units would have been entitled to receive based on the Percentage Interests that such Partnership Units represented on the Record Date for such distribution.

(I)The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to make distributions to the Partners so as to preclude any distribution or portion thereof from being treated as part of a sale of property to the Partnership by a Partner under Section 707 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided that the General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of any distribution to a Partner being so treated.

Section 5.4Distribution upon Redemption. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, proceeds of (i) a Class C Redemption shall be distributed to the Class C Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(C), (ii) a Class F Redemption shall be distributed to the Class F Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(D), (iii) a Class G Redemption shall be distributed to the Class G Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(E), (iv) a Class I Redemption shall be distributed to the Class I Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(F), (v) a Class J Redemption shall be distributed to the Class J Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(G) and (vi) a Class K Redemption shall be distributed to the Class K Limited Partner in accordance with Section 9.1(H).

In addition, neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner may sell, transfer or otherwise convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, except (i) on terms competitive with those that may be obtained in the marketplace from unaffiliated Persons or (ii) where the General Partner determines, in its sole judgment, that such sale, transfer or conveyance confers benefits on the General Partner or the Partnership in respect of matters of tax or corporate or financial structure; provided, in the case of this clause (ii), such sale, transfer, or conveyance is not being effected for the purpose of materially disadvantaging the Limited Partners.

(B)In furtherance of Section 6.4(A), the Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries on terms and conditions established by the General Partner.

Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be construed as entitling the General Partner to realize any profit or gain from any transaction between the General Partner and the Partnership (except in connection with a distribution in accordance with this Agreement), including from the lending of money by the General Partner to the Partnership or the contribution of property by the General Partner to the Partnership, it being understood that in any such transaction the General Partner shall be entitled to cost recovery only.

(C)Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, as of the close of the Fiscal Year, an annual report containing audited financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, presented in accordance with GAAP and certified by the Independent Accountants.

The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the expense of the Partnership) in connection with all examinations of the affairs of the Partnership by any federal, state, or local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of the Partnership for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Partner shall deliver to the Limited Partners within ten (10) business days of the receipt thereof a copy of any notice or other communication with respect to the Partnership received from the IRS (or other governmental tax authority), or any court, in each case with respect to any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the Partnership. The Partners agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the conduct of all proceedings pursuant to this Section 7.5(A).

(B)For tax returns filed with respect to Fiscal Years beginning after December 31, 2017, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may cause, and take such actions as it determines necessary or appropriate to enable the Partnership to elect out of the application of the provisions of Code Sections 6221 through 6241 under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules. If, however, such provisions do apply to the Partnership for any Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall also act as the Partnership Representative within the meaning of Code Section 6223(a) under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules, for purposes of Code Sections 6221 through 6241. Each Partner hereby consents to the General Partner serving as the Partnership Representative and agrees upon request of the General Partner to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Partnership Representative will be authorized to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to (i) sign consents, enter into settlement and other agreements with such authorities with respect to any such examinations or proceedings and (ii) expend the Partnership’s funds for professional services incurred in connection therewith. Each Partner hereby agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge and deliver such documents and certifications as the Partnership Representative may request in connection with any such examinations and proceedings. The Partnership Representative may duly and timely elect under Code Section 6226 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to require each Person who was a Partner during the Fiscal Year of the Partnership that was audited to personally bear any tax, interest and penalty resulting from adjustments based on such audit and, if such an election is made, shall notify each such Person (and the IRS) of their share of such audit adjustments. If for any reason the Partnership is liable for a tax (including imputed underpayments), interest, addition to tax or penalty as a result of any audit (including state and local audits), each Person who was a Partner during the Fiscal Year of the Partnership that was audited, even if such Person is no longer a Partner (unless a Substitute Limited Partner has agreed to bear such liability in an appropriate document evidencing a transfer), shall pay to the Partnership an amount equal to such Person’s proportionate share of such liability (and any expenses incurred by the Partnership in adjudicating or otherwise resolving such liability), as determined by the General Partner, based on the amount each such Person should have borne (computed at the tax rate used to compute the Partnership’s liability) had the Partnership’s tax return for such Fiscal Year reflected the audit adjustment, and the expense for the Partnership’s payment, adjudication or other resolution of such tax, interest, addition to tax and penalty shall be specially allocated to such Persons (or their successors) in such proportions.

(C)The Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall receive no compensation for its services in such capacity. If the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, incurs any costs related to any tax audit, declaration of any tax deficiency or any administrative proceeding or litigation involving any Partnership tax matter, such amount shall be an expense of the Partnership, and the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall be entitled to full reimbursement therefor,.

(D)The General Partner shall cause to be prepared all federal, state and local income tax returns required of the Partnership at the Partnership’s expense.

(E)Except as set forth herein, the General Partner shall determine whether to make (and, if necessary, revoke) any tax election available to the Partnership under the Code or any state tax law; provided, however, upon the request of any Partner, the General Partner shall make the election under Code Section 754 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 709.

Section 7.6Withholding. Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay to any taxing authority on behalf of such Partner any tax that the General Partner determines the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner. Any amount paid to any taxing authority which does not constitute a reduction in the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner shall be treated as a loan from the Partnership to such Partner, which loan shall bear interest at the “prime rate” as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus two (2) percentage points, and shall be repaid within ten (10) business days after request for repayment from the General Partner. The obligation to repay any such loan shall be secured by such Partner’s Partnership Interest and each Partner hereby grants the Partnership a security interest in his Partnership Interest for the purposes set forth in this Section 7.6, this Section 7.6 being intended to serve as a security agreement for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code with the General Partner having in respect hereof all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Partner agrees to take such reasonable actions as the General Partner may request to perfect and continue the perfection of the security interest granted hereby. In the event any Partner fails to repay any deemed loan pursuant to this Section 7.6 the Partnership shall be entitled to avail itself of any rights and remedies it may have. Furthermore, upon the expiration of ten (10) business days after demand for payment, the General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of the defaulting Partner and thereupon be subrogated to the rights of the Partnership with respect to such defaulting Partner.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to a General Partner by merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction shall, without further act, be the General Partner hereunder, and such merger, consolidation share exchange or other similar transaction shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

Section 8.4Restrictions on Transfer and Withdrawal by Limited Partner.

(A)Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(D), no Limited Partner may Transfer all or any portion of his Partnership Interest without first obtaining the Consent of the General Partner, which Consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.

Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner has agreed not to grant any such consent prior to the Transfer Restriction Date.

(B)No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated by clause (A) above or clause (D) below or a Transfer pursuant to clause (C) below) of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to this Article VIII or pursuant to a redemption or exchange of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to Article IX. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(D)Subject to Section 8.4(E), a Limited Partner may Transfer, with the Consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his Partnership Units to (a) a parent or parents, spouse, natural or adopted descendant or descendants, spouse of such a descendant, or brother or sister, or a trust created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or any such person(s), of which trust such Limited Partner or any such person(s) is a trustee, (b) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons named in (a) above, or (c) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners, and the General Partner shall grant its Consent to any Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.4(D) unless such Transfer, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, would cause (or have the potential to cause) the General Partner to fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, in which case the General Partner shall have the absolute right to refuse to permit such Transfer, and any purported Transfer in violation of this Section 8.4(D) shall be null and void ab initio.

(E)No Transfer of Limited Partnership Units shall be made if such Transfer would (i) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, cause the Partnership to be terminated for federal income tax purposes or to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation (rather than a partnership) for federal income tax purposes; (ii) be effected through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iii) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, violate the provisions of applicable securities laws; (iv) violate the terms of (or result in a default or acceleration under) any law, rule, regulation, agreement or commitment binding on the Partnership; (v) 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(e) of the Code); (vi) in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the underlying assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; or (vii) result in a deemed distribution to any Partner attributable to a failure to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2(d)(1), unless such Partner consents thereto.

Section 8.5Substituted Limited Partner.

(A)No transferee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner in place of his assignor unless and until the following conditions have been satisfied:

(1)The assignor and transferee file a Notice or other evidence of Transfer and such other information reasonably required by the General Partner, including, without limitation, names, addresses and telephone numbers of the assignor and transferee;

(2)The transferee executes, adopts and acknowledges this Agreement, or a counterpart hereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner, including without limitation, all documents necessary to comply with applicable tax and/or securities rules and regulations;

(3)The assignor or transferee pays all costs and fees incurred or charged by the Partnership to effect the Transfer and substitution; and

(4)The assignor or transferee obtains the written Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

(B)If a transferee of a Limited Partner does not become a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.5(A), such transferee shall be an Assignee and shall not have any rights to require any information on account of the Partnership’s business, to inspect the Partnership’s books or to vote or otherwise take part in the affairs of the Partnership (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners have been voted). Such Assignee shall be entitled, however, to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act. Any Assignee wishing to Transfer the Partnership Units acquired shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article VIII.

Section 8.6Timing and Effect of Transfers. Unless the General Partner agrees otherwise, Transfers under this Article VIII may only be made as of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Upon any Transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article VIII or redemption of a Partnership Interest in accordance with Article IX, the Partnership shall allocate all items of Profit and Loss between the assignor Partner and the transferee Partner in accordance with Section 5.2(F)(2) hereof.

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, such Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books of the Partnership.

In such case, the General Partner shall be substituted for the Partnership for all purposes of this Article IX and, upon acquisition of the Partnership Units tendered by the Redeeming Party pursuant to the Redemption Notice shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Such exchange transaction shall be treated for federal income tax purposes by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Redeeming Party as a sale by the Redeeming Party as seller to the General Partner as purchaser.

Section 9.5Further Assurances; Certain Representations. Each party to this Agreement agrees to execute any documents deemed reasonably necessary by the General Partner to evidence the issuance of any Share Payment to a Redeeming Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each holder of First Highland Units agrees that, if the General Partner shall elect to satisfy a Redemption Obligation with respect to First Highland Units by making a Share Payment, such Redemption Obligation shall mature on the date which is seven (7) business days after receipt by the Partnership and the General Partner of documents similar to the “Investor Materials” submitted in connection with the sale of the First Highland Properties to the Partnership and any other similar documents reasonably required by, and in form reasonably satisfactory to, the Partnership. Each Limited Partner, by executing this Agreement, shall be deemed to have represented to the General Partner and the Partnership that (i) its acquisition of its Partnership Interest on the date hereof is made as a principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest and (ii) if it shall receive REIT Shares pursuant to this Article IX other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that its acquisition of such REIT Shares is made as a principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such REIT Shares and agrees that such REIT Shares may bear a legend to the effect that such REIT Shares have not been so registered and may not be sold other than pursuant to such a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

Section 9.6Effect of Redemption. Upon the satisfaction of the Redemption Obligation by the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, the Redeeming Party shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Partnership Units so redeemed and shall be deemed to have represented to the Partnership and the General Partner that the Partnership Units tendered for redemption are not subject to any liens, claims or encumbrances. Upon a Class C Redemption by the Partnership, the Class C Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions or allocations in respect of the Class C Units so redeemed. Upon a Class F Redemption by the Partnership, the Class F Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class F Units so redeemed. Upon a Class G Redemption by the Partnership, the Class G Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class G Units so redeemed. Upon a Class I Redemption by the Partnership, the Class I Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class I Units so redeemed. Upon a Class J Redemption by the Partnership, the Class J Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class J Units so redeemed. Upon a Class K Redemption by the Partnership, the Class K Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class K Units so redeemed.

Section 9.7Registration Rights. In the event a Limited Partner receives REIT Shares in connection with a redemption of Partnership Units originally issued to Initial Limited Partners on June 30, 1994 pursuant to this Article IX, such Limited Partner shall be entitled to have such REIT Shares registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 9.8Redemption upon REIT Share Repurchases by the General Partner. If the General Partner acquires outstanding REIT Shares then the Partnership shall redeem from the General Partner the General Partner’s interest in the Partnership representing such acquired REIT Shares and pay to the General Partner, in cash, an amount equal to the consideration, if any, paid by or for the account of the General Partner for the acquired REIT Shares. The Partnership shall make such cash payment, if any, to the General Partner within three (3) business days after the General Partner notifies the Partnership that the General Partner is committed to acquiring REIT Shares and requests payment under this Section 9.8. Any REIT Shares acquired by the General Partner that are thereafter disposed of by the General Partner (which term shall not include cancellation) shall for the purposes of Section 4.2(B) and (C), be deemed issued at the time of such disposition.

ARTICLE X.DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 10.2Liquidation of Partnership Assets.

(A)Subject to Section 10.2(E), in the event of dissolution pursuant to Section 10.1, the Partnership shall continue solely for purposes of winding up the affairs of, achieving a final termination of, and satisfaction of the creditors of, the Partnership. The General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner remaining, any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for oversight of the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership. The Liquidator shall obtain a full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and such Partnership Assets shall be liquidated (including, at the discretion of the Liquidator, in exchange, in whole or in part, for REIT Shares) as promptly as the Liquidator is able to do so without any undue loss in value, with the proceeds therefrom applied and distributed in the following order:

(1)First, to the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to creditors other than Partners;

(2)Second, to the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to the Partners;

(4)The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

(B)In accordance with Section 10.2(A), the Liquidator shall proceed without any unnecessary delay to sell and otherwise liquidate the Partnership Assets; provided, however, that if the Liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership Assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation except (i) to the extent provided by the Act or (ii) as may be necessary to satisfy the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Persons other than the Partners.

(C)If, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Liquidator, there are Partnership Assets that the Liquidator will not be able to liquidate, or if the liquidation of such assets would result in undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may distribute such Partnership Assets to the Partners in-kind, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(A). The foregoing notwithstanding, such in-kind distributions shall only be made if in the Liquidator’s good faith judgment that is in the best interest of the Partners.

(D)Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership Assets, the Partners shall cease to be Partners of the Partnership, and the Liquidator shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed all certificates and notices required by law to terminate the Partnership. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.1, the Liquidator shall cause to be prepared, and shall furnish to each Partner, a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership. Promptly following the complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership Assets, the Liquidator shall furnish to each Partner a statement showing the manner in which the Partnership Assets were liquidated and distributed.

(E)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, in the event that the Partnership shall dissolve as a result of the expiration of the term provided for herein or as a result of the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 10.1(B) or (C), then each Limited Partner shall be deemed to have delivered a Redemption Notice on the date of such dissolution. In connection with each such Redemption Notice, the General Partner shall have the option of either (i) complying with the redemption procedures contained in Article IX or (ii) at the request of any Limited Partner, delivering to such Limited Partner, Partnership property approximately equal in value to the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units upon the assumption by such Limited Partner of such Limited Partner’s proportionate share of the Partnership’s liabilities and payment by such Limited Partner (or the Partnership) of any excess (or deficiency) of the value of the property so delivered over the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units. In lieu of requiring such Limited Partner to assume its proportionate share of Partnership liabilities, the General Partner may deliver to such Limited Partner unencumbered Partnership property approximately equal in value to the net value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units.

Section 10.3Effect of Treasury Regulations.

(A)In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section 10.2(A) shall be made within the time period provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Contributor Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions (without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), each such Contributor Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to its respective deficit balance, such obligation to be satisfied within ninety (90) days following the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Article X hereof. Conversely, if any Partner other than a Contributor Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions (without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Any deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or any other Person to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Partnership or the general partner, in its capacity as General Partner of the Partnership. For purposes of computing each Contributor Partner’s deficit balance in its Capital Account and its corresponding obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership, only items of income, gain and loss actually recognized shall be reflected.

(B)In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but there has been no dissolution of the Partnership under Section 10.1 hereof, then the Partnership Assets shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. In the event of such a liquidation there shall be deemed to have been a distribution of Partnership Assets in kind to the Partners in accordance with Section 10.2 followed by a recontribution of such Partnership Assets by the Partners in the same proportions.

Section 10.4Time for Winding-Up. Anything in this Article X notwithstanding, a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of the Partnership Assets in order to minimize any potential for losses as a result of such process. During the period of winding-up, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall govern the rights and relationships of the Partners inter se.

(B)Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is signed by the Partners owning Percentage Interests required to vote in favor of such action, which consent may be evidenced in one or more instruments. Consents need not be solicited from any other Partner if the written consent of a sufficient number of Partners has been obtained to take the action for which such solicitation was required.

Every proxy (i) must be signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact, (ii) shall expire eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless the proxy provides otherwise and (iii) shall be revocable at the discretion of the Limited Partner granting such proxy.

Section 11.3Voting of LB Units.

Schedule A

LTIP Units

The following are certain additional terms of the LTIP Units:

1.1 Designation. A class of Partnership Interests designated as the “LTIP Units” is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the Partnership for tax purposes. The number of LTIP Units that may be issued shall not be limited.

1.2 Vesting. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”), between the Partnership or the General Partner (on behalf of the Partnership) and a holder of LTIP Units. The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified from time to time in accordance with their terms. LTIP Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units are referred to as “Unvested LTIP Units.” Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a holder of LTIP Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of Partnership Units are entitled to transfer their Partnership Units pursuant to Article 8 of this Agreement.

1.3 Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units, or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of LTIP Units at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose, or as transferred to the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture.

1.4 Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, any Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.

1.5 Distributions. The distributions to which holders of LTIP Units will be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 5 of this Agreement.

1.6 Allocations. The allocations to which holders of LTIP Units will be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 5 of this Agreement.

1.7 Adjustments. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between Partnership Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such LTIP Unit Adjustment Event. The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment Events”: (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Partnership Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Partnership Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Partnership Units into a smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Partnership Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Partnership Units. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Partnership Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the correspondence between Partnership Unit and LTIP Units as existed prior to such action, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued,in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances to maintain such correspondence. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

1.8 Conversion of LTIP Units into Partnership Units. LTIP Units shall automatically convert into an equal number of Partnership Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7, on the later to occur of (i) the date on which such LTIP Units become Vested LTIP Units and (ii) the date on which the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Units becomes zero (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date”). Any such conversion shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Partnership Units issuable upon such conversion.

1.9 Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under Section 5.2(O)(2) of this Agreement, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of LTIP Units converted into Partnership Units and the Partnership Unit Economic Balance with respect to such converted LTIP Unit, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of such reduction shall instead be attributable to the Economic Capital Account Balance that is attributable to the Partnership Units into which such LTIP Units were converted.

1.10 Conversion in Connection with a Transaction.

(a) If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self-tender offer for all or substantially all Partnership Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event), in each case as a result of which Partnership Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Partnership Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transaction”), then, immediately prior to the Transaction, any LTIP Units that will become eligible for conversion in connection with the Transaction in accordance with Section 1.8 shall automatically convert into an equal number of Partnership Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7, and taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction).

(b) In anticipation of such automatic LTIP Unit conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall cause each holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Partnership Units into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of the same number of Partnership Units, assuming such holder of Partnership Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Partnership Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Partnership Units in connection with such Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Partnership Unit would receive if such holder of Partnership Units failed to make such an election.

(c) Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under any Vesting Agreement and the terms of any plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.10 and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Partnership Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Partnership Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the holders of LTIP Units.

1.11 Redemption at the Option of the Partnership. LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership from (i) repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) converting LTIP Units pursuant to Section 1.8 above.

1.12 Voting Rights. Holders of LTIP Units shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Partnership Units; holders of LTIP Units and Partnership Units shall vote together as a single class, together with any other class or series of Partnership Units upon which like voting rights have been conferred. In any matter in which the LTIP Units are entitled to vote, including an action by written consent, each LTIP Unit shall be entitled to vote a Percentage Interest equal on a per unit basis to the Percentage Interest represented by each Partnership Unit.

1.13 Special Approval Rights. Except as provided in Section 1.12 above, holders of LTIP Units shall only (a) have those voting rights required from time to time by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, if any, and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth in this Section 1.13. The General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions: (i) no separate consent of the holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any such alteration, change, modification or amendment would equally, ratably and proportionately alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Partnership Units (in which event the holders of LTIP Units shall only have such voting rights, if any, as expressly provided for in the Agreement, in accordance with Section 1.12 above); (ii) with respect to any merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization, so long as either (w) the LTIP Units are converted into Partnership Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction, (x) the holders of LTIP Units either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each LTIP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Partnership Unit in consideration of one Partnership Unit pursuant to the terms of such transaction, (y) the LTIP Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, the LTIP Units are exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as the LTIP Units and without any income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the holder upon the exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and with the terms of the Partnership Units or such other securities into which the LTIP Units (or the substitute security therefor) are convertible materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting), such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units, provided further, that if some, but not all, of the LTIP Units are converted into Partnership Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction (and neither clause (y) or (z) above is applicable), then the consent required pursuant to this Section will be the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the LTIP Units to be outstanding following such conversion; (iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Interests (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units in any respect, which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Partnership Units or (y) does require such consent and is authorized by a vote of the holders of Partnership Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class pursuant to Section 1.12 above, together with any other class or series of units of Partnership Interests upon which like voting rights have been conferred, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and (iv) any waiver by the Partnership of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders.

1.14 The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required to be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or conversion to occur as of or prior to such time.

Any Holder who does not provide the information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt of such notice, but in no event later than 20 days thereafter, shall not be entitled to have its Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement at the time it becomes effective, but shall have the right thereafter to deliver to the Company a Sale Notice as contemplated by Section 3(b).

Section 3. Registration Procedures.

In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall:

(a)prepare and file with the SEC, within the time period set forth in Section 2(a) hereof, a Shelf Registration Statement, which Shelf Registration Statement (i) shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof and (ii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith.

(b)subject to the last three sentences of this Section 3(b) and to Section 3(i) hereof, (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective for the applicable period; (ii) cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act; (iii) respond promptly to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement relating thereto; and (iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above with respect to each particular Holder of Registrable Securities unless and until the Company has received either a written notice (a “Registration Notice”) from a Holder that such Holder intends to make offers or sales under the Shelf Registration Statement as specified in such Registration Notice or a written response from such Holder of the type contemplated by Section 2(c); provided, however, that the Company shall have 7 business days to prepare and file any such amendment or supplement after receipt of a Registration Notice. Once a Holder has delivered such a written response or a Registration Notice to the Company, such Holder shall promptly provide to the Company such information as the Company reasonably requests in order to identify such Holder and the method of distribution in a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to a Prospectus. Offers or sales under the Shelf Registration Statement may be made only during a Sale Period. Such Holder also shall notify the Company in writing upon completion of such offer or sale or at such time as such Holder no longer intends to make offers or sales under the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c)furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company, without charge, as many copies of each applicable Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, by each such Holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or the preliminary Prospectus.

(d)use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities by the time the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be kept effective or during the period offers or sales are being made by a Holder that has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company, whichever is shorter, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required (i) to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would not be required so to qualify or register but for this Section 3(d), (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) to submit to the general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(e)notify each Holder when the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and notify each Holder of Registrable Securities that has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing (i) 3hen any post-effective amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period the Shelf Registration Statement is effective as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement or a related Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(f)make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment.

(g)furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested).

(h)cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend; and enable certificates for such Registrable Securities to be issued for such numbers of shares and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least two (2) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

(i)subject to the last three sentences of Section 3(b) hereof, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(e)(iv) hereof, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to prepare and file a supplement or prepare, file and obtain effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(j)make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders of the Registrable Securities and any counsel or accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, counsel or accountant in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that such records, documents or information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and notifies such representatives, counsel or accountants in writing that such records, documents or information are confidential, shall not be disclosed by the representatives, counsel or accountants unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public otherwise than in violation of this Agreement.

(k)a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Prospectus, any amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus, provide copies of such document (not including any documents incorporated by reference therein unless requested) to the Holders of Registrable Securities that have provided a Registration Notice to the Company.

(l)use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(m)obtain a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement.

(n)otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

Each Holder agrees with the Company that:

(a)If the Company determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel, that the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2 hereof or the use of any Prospectus would require the disclosure of important information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, upon written notice of such determination by the Company, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (including any action contemplated by Section 3 hereof) will be suspended until the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section 4(a) is no longer necessary.

(c)In the event that any Holder uses a Prospectus in connection with the offering and sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus, such Holder will use only the latest version of such Prospectus provided to it by the Company.

Section 5. Indemnification Contribution.

(a)Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows:

(i)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii)against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 5(a) does not apply to any Holder with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus.

(b)Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers (including each director and officer of the Company who signed the Shelf Registration Statement), and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, to the same extent as the indemnity contained in Section 5(a) hereof (except that any settlement described in Section 5(a)(2) shall be effected with the written consent of such Holder), but only insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such selling Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus. In no event shall the liability of any Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)Each indemnified party shall give reasonably prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Section 5(a) or (b) unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section 5(a) or (b). If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party or parties reasonably determine that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified part or parties to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party or parties in the aggregate shall be entitled to one separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense. If an indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5(c), the indemnifying party or parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party or parties. In such event however, no indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

(d)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 5 is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the selling Holders shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the selling Holders, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of and benefits to the Company on the one hand the selling Holders on the other (in such proportions that the selling Holders are severally, not jointly, reasonable for the balance), in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits to the indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the total proceeds received by the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the offering to which such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expenses relate. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or the indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such selling Holder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such selling Holder is otherwise required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person w ho was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5(d), each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and directors and officers of a Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company w ho signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
