16

that is not specifically designated by the General Partner as being of a particular class shall be deemed to be a Common Unit unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

4.4Other Contribution Provisions.  In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash for the fair market value of such services, and the Partner had contributed such cash to the capital of the Partnership.

4.5No Interest on Capital.  No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account.

5.1Requirement and Characterization of Distributions.

(a)General.  The General Partner shall have the exclusive right and authority to declare and cause the Partnership to make distributions as and when the General Partner deems appropriate or desirable in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event may a Partner receive a distribution with respect to a Partnership Unit for a quarter or shorter period if such Partner has exchanged such Partnership Unit for a Share and the Company is entitled to receive a distribution for such quarter or shorter period with respect to such Partnership Unit.  Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement at the time a new class of Partnership Interests is created in accordance with Section 4 hereof, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest.  For so long as the Company elects to qualify as a REIT, the Partnership shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the qualification of the Company as a REIT, to make distributions to the Partners in amounts such that the Company will receive amounts sufficient to enable the Company to pay shareholder dividends that will (i) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and the Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability for the Company.  

(b)Method.  When, as and if declared by the General Partner, the Partnership will make distributions to the General Partner in any amount necessary to enable the Company to pay REIT Expenses, and thereafter:

(i)first, to holders of Preference Units, if any, in an amount equal to preferential distributions accumulated and unpaid on such Preference Units in accordance with their respective terms;

(ii)second, to holders of Common Units pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests;

Each holder of Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distribution shall be entitled to a distribution in accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership Interests (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but except for any distribution to the General

17

Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary) in amounts necessary to enable the Company to pay REIT Expenses, in no event shall any Partner receive a distribution with respect to any Common Unit with respect to any quarter until such time as the Partnership has distributed to the holders of the Preference Units, if any, all distributions payable with respect to such Preference Units through the last day of such quarter, in accordance with the instruments designating such Preference Units.

5.2Amounts Withheld.  All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to the General Partner, the Limited Partners or Assignees shall be treated as amounts distributed to the General Partner, Limited Partners or Assignees pursuant to Section 5.1 above for all purposes under this Agreement.

5.3Distributions Upon Liquidation.  Upon liquidation of the Partnership, any liquidating proceeds shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof.

5.4Revisions to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests.  In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 5 as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.

6.1Allocations For Capital Account Purposes.  For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Exhibit B hereto) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

(a)General Allocations. The Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period (or if necessary individual items thereof) shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that will, as nearly as possible (after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C hereto) cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period to equal (i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution that such Partner would receive if the Partnership were liquidated on the last day of such period and all assets of the Partnership, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all liabilities of the Partnership were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the remaining cash proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.1, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, all computed as of the date of the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account facts and circumstances as the General Partner deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.

(b)Allocation of Nonrecourse Debt.  For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of the (i) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with any permissible method determined by the General Partner.  

(c)Recapture Income. In accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to

18

Exhibit C hereto, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income

(d)COD Income from Chapter 11 Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any income from the discharge of indebtedness recognized by the Partnership in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Plan pursuant to Regulations Section 1.61-12(a) shall be allocated among the Partners prior to such discharge in accordance with the Fourth Restated Agreement, as in effect prior to this Agreement, and applicable Tax law  (and so as to give economic effect, to the maximum extent possible, to the book down of the assets of the Partnership under applicable Treasury Regulations and the realignment of capital accounts as a result of the implementation of the Chapter 11 Plan).  For the purposes of this Section, “Tax law” shall mean the Code, the Regulations and any applicable and binding precedents, including, but not limited to, case law.

6.2Revisions to Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests.  In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 6 as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto.

7.1Management.

(a)Powers of General Partner.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership are and shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner, and no Limited Partner shall have any right to participate in or exercise control or management power over the business and affairs of the Partnership.  The General Partner may not be removed by the Limited Partners.  In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a limited partnership under applicable law or which are granted to the General Partner under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to Sections 7.6 and 7.11 below, shall have full power and authority to do all things deemed necessary or desirable by it, on such terms and conditions as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems appropriate, to conduct the business of the Partnership, to exercise all powers set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, including, without limitation:

(e)No Obligations to Consider Tax Consequences of Limited Partners.  In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken (or not taken) by it.  The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by such Limited Partner in connection with such decisions, provided, however, that the General Partner has acted in good faith and not beyond its authority under this Agreement.

(b)Responsibility for Partnership Expenses.  The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations.  The General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary)  incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, expenses related to the management and administration of any Subsidiaries of the General Partner or the Partnership or Affiliates of the Partnership such as auditing expenses and filing fees); provided, however, that (i), the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by (x) any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it as permitted in Section 7.5(a) below and (y) any amount derived by the General Partner from any investments permitted in Section 7.5(a) below and (ii) REIT Expenses shall not be treated as Partnership expenses for purposes of this Section 7.4(b).  The General Partner shall determine in good faith the amount of expenses incurred by it related to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership.  In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable.  Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3(b) hereof and as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 below.  All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner.

(c)Partnership Interest Issuance Expenses.  The General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of additional Partnership Interests, Debt of the Partnership or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to Section 4 hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of which expenses are considered by the Partners to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Partnership, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion in accordance with Section 7.4(b).

(d)Purchases of Shares by the Company.  In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the Certificate of Incorporation to purchase shares or otherwise elects to purchase from its shareholders Shares in connection with a share repurchase or similar program or for the purpose of delivering such Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment or share purchase program adopted by the Company, any employee share purchase plan adopted by the Company or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the Company in the future, the purchase price paid by the Company for such Shares and any other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such purchase shall be considered REIT Expenses, and the Partnership shall distribute cash to the Company to offset such expenses pursuant to Section 5.1, subject to the conditions that:   if such Shares subsequently are to be sold by the Company, the Company pays to the Partnership any proceeds received by the Company

23

for such Shares (provided, however, that a transfer of Shares for Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and  if such Shares are not retransferred by the Company within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel a number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class (rounded to the nearest whole Partnership Unit) held by the Company equal to the product attained by multiplying the number of such Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor.

(e)Tax Treatment of Certain Reimbursements.  If and to the extent that any reimbursement made pursuant to this Section 7.4 is determined for federal income tax purposes not to constitute a payment of expenses of the Partnership, then such reimbursement shall be treated as a distribution pursuant to clause (i) of Section 5.1(b) hereof.

7.5Outside Activities of the General Partner.

(a)General.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.5(a), the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General Partner or Limited Partner and the management of the business of the Partnership and such activities as are incidental to any of the foregoing.  The assets of the General Partner shall be limited to Partnership Interests and permitted debt obligations of the Partnership, so that Shares and Partnership Units are completely fungible except as otherwise specifically provided herein; provided, however, that the General Partner shall be permitted to hold (i) interests in entities, including Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, that hold no material assets; (ii) interests in Qualified REIT Subsidiaries (or other entities that are not taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes) that own only interests in the Partnership and/or interests in other Qualified REIT Subsidiaries (or other entities that are not taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes) that either hold no assets or hold only interests in the Partnership; (iii) assets and/or interests in entities, including Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, that hold assets which are incidental to the foregoing. The General Partner and any of its Affiliates may acquire Limited Partnership Interests and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a Limited Partner relating to such Limited Partnership Interests.

(b)Repurchase of Shares.  In the event the Company exercises its rights under the Certificate of Incorporation to purchase Shares or otherwise elects to purchase from its shareholders Shares in connection with a share repurchase or similar program or for the purpose of delivering such Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment or share purchase program adopted by the Company, any employee share purchase plan adopted by the Company or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the Company in the future, and the Company does not resell said Shares within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof as contemplated in Section 7.4(d)(i), then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel that number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchased by the Company times a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor, on the same terms and for the same aggregate price that the Company purchased such Shares.

(c)Forfeiture of Shares.  In the event the Partnership or the Company acquires Shares as a result of the forfeiture of such Shares under a restricted or similar share plan, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel that number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class equal to the number of Shares so acquired.

(d)Issuances of Shares.  The Company shall not grant, award, or issue any additional Shares (other than Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof or pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any share split) of Shares to all of its shareholders), other equity securities of the Company, or New Securities unless (i) the General Partner shall cause, pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof, the Partnership

24

to issue Partnership Interests to the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially the same as those of such additional Shares, other equity securities, or New Securities, as the case may be, and (ii) the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable transfers to the Partnership, as an additional Capital Contribution, the proceeds from the grant, award, or issuance of such additional Shares, other equity securities, or New Securities, as the case may be, or from the exercise of rights contained in such additional Shares, other equity securities, or New Securities, as the case may be.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is expressly authorized to issue additional Shares, other equity securities, or New Securities, as the case may be, for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized, pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof, to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, corresponding Partnership Interests, as long as (i) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interests of the General Partner and the Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to a share purchase plan providing for purchases of Shares, either by employees or shareholders, at a discount from fair market value or pursuant to employee share options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise) and (ii) the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, transfers all proceeds from any such issuance or exercise to the Partnership as an additional Capital Contribution.

(e)Stock Incentive Plan.  If at any time or from time to time, Stock Options granted in connection with the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan are exercised in accordance with the terms of a Stock Option Agreement:

(i)the Company shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, contribute or cause to be contributed to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the exercise price paid to the Company by such exercising party in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option; and

(ii)the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, shall be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Capital Contributions an amount equal to the Current Per Share Market Price (as of the trading date immediately preceding the date on which the purchase of the Shares by such exercising party is consummated) multiplied by the number of Shares delivered by the Company to such exercising party and the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary), as applicable, a number of Common Units equal to such number of shares of Common Stock divided by the Conversion Factor.

7.6Transactions with Affiliates(a). The Partnership may lend or contribute funds to its subsidiaries or other Entities in which it has an equity investment, and such Entities may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person. The Partnership may also engage in other transactions and enter into contracts with an Affiliate of any Partner, which transactions and contracts are on terms fair and reasonable to the Partnership and no less favorable to the Partnership than would be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, provided, however, that the affirmative determination by the Company’s board of directors shall determine conclusively that a transaction or contract between the

25

Partnership on the one hand and the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary) on the other hand satisfies such requirement.

7.7Indemnification.

(a)General.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law at the time, the Partnership, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee and relating to the Partnership or the General Partner or the formation or the current (and, in the case of the General Partner’s right to indemnification from the Partnership, prior) operations of, or the current (and, in the case of the General Partner’s right to indemnification from the Partnership, prior) ownership of property by, either of them as set forth in this Agreement in which any such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  The obligations of the Partnership under this Section 7.7 shall include reimbursement of the General Partner for any indemnification or advance of expenses by the General Partner pursuant to the DGCL, or its Bylaws.  Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guarantee, contractual obligations for any indebtedness or other obligations or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to).  The General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7(a).  Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the General Partner and any Indemnitees, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

(b)Advancement of Expenses.  Reasonable expenses expected to be incurred by an Indemnitee (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative made or threatened against an Indemnitee, in the case of any trustee/director or officer who is an Indemnitee upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.7 has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

(c)No Limitation of Rights.  The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

26

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

(e)Benefit Plan Fiduciary.  For purposes of this Section 7.7, (i) the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan, (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.7 and (iii) actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be related to the Partnership.

(f)No Personal Liability for Limited Partners.  In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g)Interested Transactions.  An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h)Benefit.  The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.  Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7, or any provision hereof, shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the obligation of the Partnership to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or related to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(i)Indemnification Payments Not Distributions.  If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

7.8Liability of the General Partner.

(a)General.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the General Partner and its directors and officers shall not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith.

(b)No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of Limited Partners or Shareholders.  The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the General Partner’s shareholders collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to such shareholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to

27

take (or decline to take) any actions and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided, however, that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

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

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

7.9Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.

(a)Reliance on Documents.  The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b)Reliance on Advisors.  The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

(c)Action Through Agents.  The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact.  Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

(d)Actions to Maintain REIT Status or Avoid Taxation of the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the limitations on the General Partner’s authority set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6, and 7.11) or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to continue to satisfy the REIT Requirements or (ii) to allow the Company to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

7.10Reliance by Third Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than the limitations on the General Partner’s authority set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6, and 7.11), any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership, to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership

28

and to take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially.  Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing.  In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives.  Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership, and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

7.11Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority.

(a)The General Partner may not, directly or indirectly, cause the Partnership to take any action requiring Consent under this Agreement without first obtaining such Consent.

(b)Nothing herein shall be deemed to require that the Partnership or the General Partner take any action to avoid or prevent an involuntary disposition of any property, whether pursuant to foreclosure of a mortgage secured by such property or otherwise, including pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a proceeding in connection with a Bankruptcy.

(c)Nothing herein shall prevent the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any property pursuant to the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Section 13 hereof (other than Section 13.1(e)).

(d)Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Limited Partners shall have no right to vote on any matter concerning the business and affairs of the Partnership, including, without limitation, any decisions regarding the merger of the Partnership or the sale, exchange, lease, mortgage or pledge or other transfer of, or the granting of a security interest in, all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and the incurrence of indebtedness by the Partnership, whether or not in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business.

7.12Loans by Third Parties.  The Partnership may incur Debt, or enter into similar credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing arrangements for any purpose (including, without limitation, in connection with any acquisition of property) with any Person upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any Debt that is recourse to the General Partner unless, and then only to the extent that, the General Partner has expressly agreed.

8.1Limitation of Liability.  The Limited Partners shall have no liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including Section 10.4 hereof, or under the Act.

8.2Management of Business.  No Limited Partner or Assignee (other than the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall take part in the operation, management or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the

29

Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership.  The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

8.3Outside Activities of Limited Partners.  Subject to Section 7.5 hereof, and subject to any agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, any Limited Partner (other than the General Partner or the Company (or any Limited Partner Subsidiary)) and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or shareholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities in direct or indirect competition with the Partnership.  Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee.  None of the Limited Partners (other than the Company or any Limited Partner Subsidiary) nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person (other than the General Partner to the extent expressly provided herein), and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

8.4Return of Capital.  Except pursuant to the right of redemption or exchange set forth in Section 8.6 below, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein.  No Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions (except as permitted by Section 4.2(a) hereof) or, except to the extent provided by Exhibit C hereto or as permitted by Sections 4.2(a), 5.1(b)(I) hereof or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as to profits, losses, distributions or credits.

(i)to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company and General Partner, as applicable, pursuant to the Exchange Act;

8.6Grant of Rights. The Partnership does hereby grant to each Limited Partner, and each of the Limited Partners does hereby accept, the right, but not the obligation (hereinafter referred to as the “Rights”), to require the Company and the General Partner to exchange part or all of the Limited Partner’s Common Units for shares of Common Stock or their cash equivalent, at the Partnership’s election, at any time or from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions contained in Exhibit D hereto.  The Rights granted hereunder may be exercised by any one or more of the Limited Partners, on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions contained in Exhibit D hereto, upon delivery to the Partnership of an Exchange Notice, which notice shall specify the number of Common Units to be exchanged by such Limited Partner. Once delivered, the Exchange Notice shall be irrevocable; provided, however, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cancel such Exchange Notice upon the request of the applicable Limited Partner, subject to delivery by the Company or the General Partner of the exchange consideration in respect of the Common Units being exchanged in accordance with the terms hereof.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, upon the issuance of any Common Units, the General Partner and the Partner to whom such Common Units are issued may agree that such Common Units are not entitled to the Rights.  The terms and provisions applicable to the Rights shall be as set forth in attached Exhibit D.

9.2Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year.  

9.3Reports.  The General Partner shall cause to be submitted to the Limited Partners as promptly as reasonably practical upon receipt of the same from the Accountants of Audited Financial Statements prepared on a consolidated basis for the Partnership, together with the reports thereon, and all supplementary schedules and information, prepared by the Accountants; provided, however, this obligation of the General Partner shall be deemed satisfied with respect to the Limited Partners (other than the Company or any Limited Partner Subsidiary) at any time that the Company is publicly traded and listed on

31

the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX, NASDAQ (or any reasonably comparable successor exchange in nature to such exchanges as of the date hereof).

10.2Tax Elections.  

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

(b)To the extent provided for in Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other IRS guidance issued after the date hereof, the Partnership is hereby authorized to, and at the direction of the General Partner shall, elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any Partnership Interests issued after the effective date of such Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Partnership Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed with respect to such interests if the Partnership sold all of its assets for their fair market value immediately after the issuance of such Partnership Interests, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any non-recourse liabilities to the extent the balance of such liabilities exceeds the fair market value of the assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the Partners under the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Partnership makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each Partner hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to transfers of such Partnership Interests while the safe harbor election remains effective.

10.3Tax Matters Partner.

(a)For each taxable year of the Partnership beginning before January 1, 2018,

(i)The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes.  Pursuant to Section 6223(c)(3) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address, taxpayer identification number and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and any Assignees; provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners.

(ii)The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(A)to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement

32

the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);

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

(C)to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;

(D)to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;

(E)to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

(iii)to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

(b)For each taxable year of the Partnership beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the General Partner shall act as or appoint the “partnership representative” of the Partnership for purposes of Code Section 6223(a) and any comparable provisions of state and local law (the “partnership representative”) and, if necessary, shall appoint a “designated individual” within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any comparable provisions of state and local law (a “designated individual”). The General Partner may designate a new partnership representative or designated individual at any time subject to applicable law and shall designate a new partnership representative or designated individual if such person or entity resigns or is deemed ineligible. The partnership representative shall have all of the powers and responsibilities of such position as provided in the Code and Treasury Regulations and may take any action or make any elections contemplated by Code Sections 6222 through 6241 and any Treasury Regulations thereunder and comparable provisions of state and local law (the “Partnership Audit Rules”) in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The General Partner, as partnership representative, shall have the right to retain professional assistance as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines is necessary to or useful in the performance of its duties, and all out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by or in respect of the partnership representative shall constitute Partnership expenses. Any Person who serves as partnership representative or designated individual shall not be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any action it takes or fails to take in such capacity, unless such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or deliberate misconduct. The provisions relating to

33

indemnification set forth in Section 7.6 hereof shall be fully applicable to the partnership representative and the designated individual, if any, acting as such. Upon the Partnership’s request, each Partner shall provide to the Partnership within the required time frame any information that the partnership representative believes may be necessary or appropriate to resolve any tax issue relating to the Partnership or comply with or be eligible to invoke any aspect of the Partnership Audit Rules. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any taxes, penalties, and interest payable by the Partnership under the Partnership Audit Rules shall be treated as attributable to the Partners, and, to the extent possible, the General Partner shall allocate the burden of any such amounts to those Partners to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable. Any such amounts allocated to a Partner, at the option of the General Partner, shall (a) be promptly paid to the Partnership by such Partner or (b) be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner. The obligations of each Partner (or former Partner) under this Section 10.3(b)) shall survive the Transfer by such Partner of its interest in the Partnership or the dissolution of the Partnership. In the event a Partner Transfers its interest in the Partnership, the transferee and transferor shall be jointly and severally liable for any liability with respect to the obligations of the transferor Partner under this Section 10.3(b).

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

10.4Withholding.  Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Section 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code or any “imputed underpayment” required to be paid by the Partnership pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code.  Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner.  Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner.  Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.4.  In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.4 when due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions).  Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full.  Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

11.1Transfer.

(a)Definition.  The term “transfer,” when used in this Section 11 with respect to a Partnership Interest or a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partnership Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Limited Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise.  The term “transfer” when used in this Section 11 does not include any exchange, redemption or repurchase of Partnership Units by the Partnership from a Partner (including the General Partner) or acquisition of Partnership Units from a Limited Partner by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof or otherwise.  No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and no part of the interest of a Limited Partner may be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

(b)General.  No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11.  Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Section 11 shall be null and void.

11.2Transfers of Partnership Interests of General Partner.  Except for transfers of Partnership Units to the Partnership as provided in Section 7.5 or Section 8.6 hereof, the General Partner may not transfer any of its Partnership Interest (including both its General Partnership Interest and its Limited Partnership Interest) except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, nor shall the General Partner withdraw as General Partner.

11.3Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer.

(a)General.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6 below, a Limited Partner (other than the General Partner, the Company, or any Limited Partner Subsidiary) may transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partnership Interest to any Person; provided, however, that the Limited Partner obtains the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld only pursuant to one of the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6 below or if the General Partner determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that such a transfer would cause the Partnership or any or all of the Partners other than the Limited Partner seeking to transfer its rights as a Limited Partner to be subject to tax liability as a result of such transfer.

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

(c)No Transfers Violating Securities Laws.  The General Partner may prohibit any transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal, or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit.

35

(d)No Transfers Affecting Tax Status of Partnership.  No transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner (including a redemption or exchange pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof) may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or would result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes, (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the Company to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

(e)No Transfers to Holders of Nonrecourse Liabilities.  No pledge or transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability without the consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f)No Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons.  In addition to the other limitations on transfer contained in this Agreement, unless exempt due to a waiver granted as described below and which waiver remains in effect, no Limited Partnership Interest or portion thereof may be transferred in whole or in part, directly or indirectly (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in any Person holding such Limited Partnership Interest), voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, to any Person if such transfer would cause any Non-U.S. Person to directly or indirectly own any Limited Partnership Interests.    The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive the application of this Section 11.3(f) with respect to a transfer and may grant such waiver prior to or following any such application as determined by the General Partner in such manner and on such terms as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3(f) shall not apply to any Partnership Interests held or acquired by the General Partner.

11.4Substituted Limited Partners.

(a)Consent of General Partner.  No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in its place without the consent of the General Partner to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.  The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

(b)Rights of Substituted Limited Partner.  A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.  The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be conditioned upon the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 16.11 hereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission).

(c)Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit A.  Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend and restate Exhibit A hereto to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and Percentage Interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

36

11.5Assignees.  If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 above as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 above, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement.  An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain, loss and Recapture Income attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, and shall have the rights granted to the Limited Partners under Section 8.6 hereof, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners are voted).  In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Section 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

11.6General Provisions.

(a)Withdrawal of Limited Partner.  No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Section 11 or pursuant to redemption or exchange of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.6 hereof.

(b)Termination of Status as Limited Partner.  Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 11 or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.6 hereof shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c)Timing of Transfers.  Transfers pursuant to this Section 11 may only be made on the first day of a calendar month, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees.

(d)Allocations.  If any Partnership Interest is transferred during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11 or redeemed, exchanged or transferred pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the fiscal year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly, or a monthly proration period, in which event Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner).  Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer, exchange or redemption occurs shall be allocated to the Person who is a Partner as of midnight on the last day of said month.  All distributions attributable to any Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment, exchange or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Exercising Partner, as the case may be, and, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than an exchange or redemption, all distributions thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.

(e)Additional Restrictions.  In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 11, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof) be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of

37

applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction not prohibited under Section 11.2 hereof); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction not prohibited under Section 11.2 hereof); (vi) if such transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.1-101; (viii) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) if such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such transfer causes the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704(b) of the Code; (x) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (xi) if such transfer could otherwise adversely affect the ability of the Company to remain qualified as a REIT; or (xii) if in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such transfer would adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Company to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

(f)Avoidance of “Publicly Traded Partnership” Status.  The General Partner shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined by it in its sole discretion exercised in good faith) to monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership to determine (a) if such interests are being traded on an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (b) whether additional transfers of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at least one of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”) and (ii) take such steps as it believes are commercially reasonable and appropriate (as determined by it in its sole discretion exercised in good faith) to prevent any trading of interests or any recognition by the Partnership of transfers made on such markets and, except as otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors is met.

12.1Admission of Successor General Partner.  A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such transfer.  Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution.  In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner’s executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission.

38

12.2Admission of Additional Limited Partners.

(a)General.  No Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent shall be given or withheld in the General Partner's sole and absolute discretion. A Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.1(c) hereof, or who acquires or otherwise receives Partnership Units in any permitted transfer shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner and only upon furnishing to the General Partner such documents or other instruments as the General Partner may require in its discretion, which may include, among other things, a written instrument, in a form acceptable to the General Partner, by which that Person confirms to the General Partner that it has accepted all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 16.11 hereof.  The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person and the number of Partnership Units issued to such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission.  Regardless of the means by which any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership, each Additional Limited Partner shall, automatically upon such admission, become subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 16.11 hereof.

(b)Allocations to Additional Limited Partners.  If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly or monthly proration method, in which event Net Income, Net Losses, and each item thereof would be prorated based upon the applicable period selected by the General Partner).  Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.  All distributions with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

12.3Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership.  For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership (including an amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto) and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 16.11 hereof.

13.1Dissolution.  The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership.  The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):

(a)the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.4 hereof;

39

(b)an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act (other than an event of Bankruptcy), unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal a Majority in Interest of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;

(c)an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, after December 31, 2090;

(d)entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

(e)the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Partnership for cash or for marketable securities (subject to Section 7.11(a)); or

(f)a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to or within ninety (90) days after of the entry of such order or judgment a Majority in Interest of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner.

13.2Winding Up.

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

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

(ii)second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the Partners; and

(iii)the balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1.

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Section 13.

(b)Deferred Liquidation.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2(a) above which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale

40

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

13.3Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations.  In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Section 13 to the General Partner and Limited Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).  If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.  In the discretion of the General Partner, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 13 may be:  (a) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership (in which case the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement); or (b) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided, however, that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners as soon as practicable.

13.4Rights of Limited Partners.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contributions and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations.

13.5Notice of Dissolution.  In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1 above, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner).

13.6Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership.  Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 above, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions

41

other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

13.7Reasonable Time for Winding Up.  A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 above, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect among the Partners during the period of liquidation.

13.8Waiver of Partition.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, no Partner shall, either directly or indirectly, take any action to require partition or appraisement of the Partnership or any of its assets or properties or cause the sale of any Partnership assets or property, and notwithstanding any provision of applicable law to the contrary, each Partner (for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns) hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to partition, or to maintain any action for partition, or to compel any sale with respect to its interest in, or with respect to, any assets or properties of the Partnership, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

13.9Liability of Liquidator.  The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership in the same manner and to the same degree as an Indemnitee may be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.11 hereof.

14.1Amendments.

(a)Except to the extent expressly otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, in Section 14.1(b) below), this Agreement may not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the General Partner with the prior Consent of the Limited Partners; provided that no amendment of this Agreement may be made without the consent of all of the affected Limited Partners if such amendment (i) converts any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partnership interest (other than the General Partner if the General Partner is also a Limited Partner), (ii) modifies the limited liability of any Limited Partner (if the General Partner is also a Limited Partner), or (iii) alters or modifies the Rights set forth in Section 8.6 in a manner adverse to such Partner.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in Section 14.1(a) above, the General Partner shall have the power, without the consent of any Limited Partner, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following:

(i)to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;

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

(iii)to set forth the rights, powers and duties of the holders of any additional Partnership Units issued pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof (including, without limitation, amending the distribution and allocation provisions set forth herein);

(iv)to reflect any change that does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any defective provision in this

42

Agreement or to make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement; and

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

14.2Meetings of the Partners.

(a)General.  Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the General Partner.  Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such meeting; provided, however, that a Partner’s attendance at any meeting of Partners shall be deemed a waiver of the foregoing notice requirement with respect to such Partner.  Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. The notice shall state the nature of the business to be transacted at such meeting.   Whenever the vote or Consent of Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.1(a) above.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Consent of holders of a majority of the Percentage Interests held by Limited Partners (including Limited Partnership Interests held by the General Partner) shall control.

(b)Actions Without a Meeting.  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 so taken is signed by a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement).  Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement).  Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner.  An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

(c)Proxy.  Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for such Limited Partner by proxy on all matters in which a Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting.  Every proxy must be signed by the Limited Partner or its attorney-in-fact.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of notice thereof in writing.

(d)Conduct of Meeting.  Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate.

(e)Meeting Attendance.  If authorized by the General Partner in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the General Partner may adopt, Partners and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of Partners may, by means of remote communication:

(i)participate in a meeting of Partners; and

CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

1.1The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv).  Such Capital Account shall be increased by (a) the amount of all Capital Contributions and any other deemed contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, as may be further amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), and (b) all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1 and Exhibit C of the Partnership Agreement, and decreased by (i) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made to such Partner pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1 and Exhibit C of the Partnership Agreement.

1.2For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in the Partnership Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership, provided that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed in Regulations Section l.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (m)(4).

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

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

(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.

(e)In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof, the amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.

1.3Generally, a transferee (including any Assignee) of a Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.  The Capital Accounts of such reconstituted Partnership shall be maintained in accordance with the principles of this Exhibit B.

1.4(a) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.4(b) hereof, the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the times of the adjustments provided in Section 1.4(b) hereof, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property and allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement.

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

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

(d)In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of this Exhibit B, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 13 of the Partnership Agreement, shall be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt.  The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate fair market value among the assets of the Partnership in such manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.

B-2

Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (b) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause the Partnership Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section l.704-1(b).

EXHIBIT C

SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES

Section 1.Special Allocation Rules.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, as may be further amended (the “Partnership Agreement”) or this Exhibit C, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

1.1Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). For the avoidance of doubt, such items shall include any income from the discharge of a Nonrecourse Liability arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Plan. This Section 1.1 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this Section 1.1 only, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement with respect to such Partnership Year and without regard to any decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such Partnership Year.

1.2Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C (except Section 1.1 hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (5).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (4).  For the avoidance of doubt, such items shall include any income from the discharge of Partner Nonrecourse Debt arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Plan. This Section 1.2 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.  Solely for purposes of this Section 1.2, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement or this Exhibit C with respect to such Partnership Year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof.

1.3Qualified Income Offset.  In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), l.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 hereof with respect to such Partnership Year, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Partnership Year) shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.  This

C-1

Section 1.3 is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

1.4Gross Income Allocation.  In the event that any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership Year (after taking into account allocations to be made under the preceding paragraphs hereof with respect to such Partnership Year), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Partnership Year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

1.5Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.  If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio for such Partnership Year to the numerically closest ratio which would satisfy such requirements.

1.6Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).

1.7Code Section 754 Adjustments.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

Section 2.Allocations for Tax Purposes.   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.  Items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to Contributed Property or Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value. In making allocations pursuant to this Section 2.2, the General Partner shall apply, in its sole discretion, any method that may be permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3.

Section 3.Defined Terms.  Terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit C shall have the meanings given to them under the Partnership Agreement.

7.Adjustment to Exchange Consideration.  If the Partnership elects to pay all or any portion of the Exchange Consideration in cash and if, as a result thereof, the Company elects to raise such cash

D-2

through a public offering of its securities, borrowings or otherwise, the aggregate Exchange Consideration computed under Section 5 above shall be reduced by an amount (“Transaction Expenses”) equal to the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such raising of funds allocable to the amounts required to pay the Exchange Consideration hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Consideration shall not be reduced hereunder by an amount exceeding 5% of the Exchange Consideration computed without regard to the adjustment for Transaction Expenses.

8.Closing Deliveries.  At the closing of the purchase and sale of Offered Units, payment of the Exchange Consideration shall be accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and assignment and by the delivery of (i) representations and warranties of (A) the Exercising Partner with respect to (x) its due authority to sell all of the right, title and interest in and to such Offered Units to the Partnership, (y) the status of the Offered Units being sold, free and clear of all Liens and (z) if applicable, its intent to acquire the Common Stock for investment purposes and not for distribution, and (B) the Partnership with respect to due authority for the purchase of such Offered Units, and (ii) to the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued in payment of the Exchange Consideration or any portion thereof, (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company to the effect that (I) such shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and (II) issuance of such shares will not violate the Ownership Limit, and (B) a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock to be issued and registered in the name of the Exercising Partner or its designee with an appropriate legend reflecting that such shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold unless registered pursuant to the provisions of such act or an exemption therefrom is available as established by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.

9.Covenants of the Company.  To facilitate the Company’s ability to fully perform its obligations hereunder, the Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)  At all times during the pendency of the Rights, the Company shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to enable the Company to issue such shares in full payment of the Exchange Consideration in regard to all Common Units which are from time to time outstanding.

(b)  As long as the Company shall be obligated to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, the Company will timely file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient of Common Stock issued to Limited Partners hereunder in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof.

(c)  Notwithstanding the Partnership’s and the Company’s determination as to the form in which the Exchange Consideration shall be payable, the Partnership shall be required to pay the Exchange Consideration by cashier’s check or wire transfer of New York clearing house funds to the extent that payment by issuance of Common Stock would disqualify the Company from being characterized as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

10.Limited Partners’ Covenant.  Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all Offered Units tendered to the Partnership in accordance with the exercise of Rights herein provided shall be delivered to the Partnership free and clear of all Liens and should any Liens exist or arise with respect to such Units, the Partnership shall be under no obligation to acquire the same unless, in connection with such acquisition, the Partnership has elected to pay such portion of the Exchange Consideration in the form of cash consideration in circumstances where such consideration will be sufficient to cause such existing Lien to be discharged in full upon application of all or a part of such

D-3

consideration and the Partnership is expressly authorized to apply such portion of the Exchange Consideration as may be necessary to satisfy any indebtedness in full and to discharge such Lien in full.  Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Offered Units to the Partnership (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
