(1) Subject only to the provisions ofSection 2(c)(1)(iii) but notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 2, in the year in which the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, Net Property Gain shall first be allocated to the holders of the Series Z-1 Incentive Units pro rata in proportion to the number of such Series Z-1 Incentive Units outstanding, until the Capital Account balance attributable to each such Series Z-1 Incentive Unit is equal to (A) the aggregate Capital Account balance attributable to the Common Units outstanding (including any other Partnership Units convertible into Common Units) divided by (B) the number of such Common Units outstanding. If Net Property Gain is insufficient to make the full allocation provided in the preceding sentence, then, in lieu of such special allocation of Net Property Gain provided in the preceding sentence, items of gross capital gain shall be allocated to the holders of Series Z-1 Incentive Units, and, if such gross items are insufficient to make the full required allocation, items of gross capital loss shall be allocated pro rata with respect to such Common Units. The allocations pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be made after the allocation of Net Operating Income or Net Operating Loss for the applicable period in which such sale or other disposition occurs. For purposes of this clause (1) of thisSection 2(e) "all or substantially all" means assets representing not less than 95% of the aggregate fair market value of the Partnership's assets.

(f)Definition of Percentage Interest. Solely for purposes of allocating Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss under thisSection 2, the Percentage Interest of a Series Z Incentive Unit holder attributable to such Units shall be deemed to be the undivided percentage ownership interest of such holder in the Partnership as determined by dividing (A) the total number of outstanding Series Z Incentive Units owned by such holder by (B) the total number of Partnership Units then outstanding (excluding the Series A Preferred Interest, the Series B Preferred Interest, the Series B Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Interest, the Series C Preferred Units, the Series D Preferred Interest, the Series D Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Interest, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Interest). Solely for purposes of allocating Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss under thisSection 2, the Percentage Interest of a Series Z-1 Incentive Unit holder attributable to such Units shall be deemed to be the undivided percentage ownership interest of such holder in the Partnership as determined by dividing (A) the total number of outstanding Series Z-1 Incentive Units owned by such holder by (B) the total number of Partnership Units then outstanding (excluding the Series A Preferred Interest, the Series B Preferred Interest, the Series B Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Interest, the Series C Preferred Units, the Series D Preferred Interest, the Series D Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Interest, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Interest).

(g)Book-Up and Capital Account Adjustments. On any day on which (i) Series A Preferred Stock (or other Preferred Stock), any series of Preferred Units or Incentive Units are redeemed or converted into Common Stock or Common Units, (ii) Percentage Interests are adjusted in the manner required in subparagraph 1(d), or (iii) in connection with the issuance of the Series Z Incentive Units or the Series Z-1 Incentive Units, the Partnership shall adjust the Gross Asset Values of all Partnership assets to equal their respective gross fair market values and shall allocate the amount of such adjustment as Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss pursuant toSection 2(c) hereof,provided,however, that if no Series A Preferred Stock (or other Preferred Stock) is outstanding after such redemption or conversion, such Net Property Gain or Net Property Loss shall be allocated in such a manner that after such allocation the Capital Accounts of the Partners are in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

3.Special Allocations.

Notwithstanding any provision ofSections 1 and 2 of thisExhibit E, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year (except as a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions or revaluation of the Partnership property as further outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), (f)(2) or (f)(3)), 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 that Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704- 2(f). Thisparagraph 3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to thisparagraph 3(a) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(b)Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of Partnership property as further outlined in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4), each Partner shall be specially allocated Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). Thisparagraph 3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to thisparagraph 3(b) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(c)Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and such Limited Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. Thisparagraph 3(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d)Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(e)Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the Partner Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1)).

(f)Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth inparagraphs (a)-(e) andSection 1(b)(2), Section 1(c)(2)(iv), Section 2(b)(2) andSection 2(c)(2)(iv), (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1 (b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions ofSections 1 and 2, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, deduction and loss among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. Thisparagraph (f) shall be interpreted and applied in such a manner and to such extent as is reasonably necessary to eliminate, as quickly as possible, permanent economic distortions that would otherwise occur as a consequence of the Regulatory Allocations in the absence of thisparagraph (f).

4.Tax Allocations.

(a)Generally. Subject toparagraphs 4(b) and (c) hereof, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners on the same basis as their respective book items.

(b)Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain form the sale of property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Code Section 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), then (A) such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated and (B) other Tax Items of gain of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250, shall be allocated away from those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain pursuant to Clause (A) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are allocated the same amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been allocated to them had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied;provided,however, that the net amount of Tax Items allocated to each Partner shall be the same as if this paragraph 4(b) did not exist. For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss for such respective period.

(c)Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations. If any Partnership property is subject to Code Section 704(c) or is reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners and on the books of the Partnership at a book value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then the tax items with respect to such property shall, in accordance with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), be shared among the Partners in a manner that takes account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis of the applicable property and its book value in the same manner as variations between the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of property contributed to the Partnership are taken into account in determining the Partners' share of tax items under Code Section 704(c). The General Partner is authorized to choose any reasonable method permitted by the Regulations pursuant to Code Section 704(c), including the "remedial allocation" method, the "curative allocation" method and the traditional method;provided that the General Partner agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of taxable income in excess of book income allocated to the holders of the Series B Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units, the Series D Preferred Units and the Series E Preferred Units.

(d)Code Section 752 Specification. Pursuant to Regulations Section 1.752-3, the Partners' interest in Partnership profits for purposes of determining the Partners' shares of excess nonrecourse liabilities shall be their Percentage Interests.
