(e) Special Distribution Payment. Subject to and explicitly conditioned on the receipt by the Company of the HR Certification (as defined below) and the delivery of the Company Certification (as defined below) to HR on or before the Payment Date, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date shall receive the Special Distribution (as defined below) in the amount of $4.82 in cash per share of Company Common Stock held on the Record Date pursuant to Section 6.16(c).

(i) As of the Effective Time, each HR Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof or any other Person, assumed by the Combined Company. Each HR Stock Option so assumed and converted by the Company under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting), except that each HR Stock Option shall be exercisable (or shall become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Company Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of: (A) the number of shares of HR Common Stock subject to such HR Stock Option; and (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of HR Common Stock of such HR Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the HR Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of HR Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. The Company shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of all HR Stock Options on the terms set forth in this Section 2.02(a)(i).

6

(ii) Each share of HR Restricted Stock and each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of HR Common Stock or benefits measured in whole or in part by the value of a number of shares of HR Common Stock granted by HR outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including restricted stock units, phantom units, deferred stock units, stock equivalents and dividend equivalents), other than HR Stock Options (each, other than HR Stock Options, an “HR Stock-Based Award”), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by the Combined Company, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements and deferral provisions) as applied to each such HR Stock-Based Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of HR Common Stock subject to the HR Stock-Based Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest full share.

(b) Company Restricted Shares.

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock subject to forfeiture conditions (collectively, “Company Restricted Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Restricted Shares that were granted subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be treated assuming attainment of the target level of performance. Each such Company Restricted Share shall be entitled to receive the Special Distribution Amount and any other accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such Company Restricted Share (“Company Restricted Share Payment”).

(ii) The portion of any Company Restricted Share Payment shall be made, net of any applicable withholding Taxes with respect to the full amount of the Company Restricted Share Payment, through the Combined Company’s payroll on the next administratively practicable regular payroll date (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) following the Effective Time.

Section 2.03 Exchange of HR Common Stock.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to HR (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as paying and exchange agent, including for purposes of exchanging HR Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or HR Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of HR Certificates and HR Book-Entry Shares, shares of Company Common Stock sufficient in order for the

7

Exchange Agent to distribute the Merger Consideration. In addition, the Combined Company shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.03(g) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.03(e). The shares of Company Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of HR Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund.” In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent, in a form reasonably acceptable to HR, setting forth the procedures to be used in accomplishing the deliveries and other actions contemplated by this Section 2.03.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Combined Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of HR Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal in a form prepared by the Company and reasonably acceptable to HR (a “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the HR Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or transfer of HR Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form and shall include customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of HR Book-Entry Shares) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of HR Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or HR Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(c) Each holder of shares of HR Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of an HR Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of book-entry transfer of HR Book-Entry Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of HR Common Stock represented by an HR Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or HR Book-Entry Share. The shares of Company Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is required under applicable Law. The Exchange Agent shall accept such HR Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or HR Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable shares of HR Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that (i) either such HR Certificate shall be properly endorsed or such HR Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) shall otherwise be in proper form for the transfer or such HR Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Company any transfer Taxes or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of such consideration to a Person other than that of the registered holder of the HR Certificate (or shares of HR Common Stock specified in an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and/or HR Book-Entry Share so surrendered, or such Person shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

8

(d) From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.03, each HR Certificate and/or HR Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, in each case together with a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal, cash and certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the Merger Consideration that the holder of such HR Certificate and/or HR Book-Entry Share is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01, and any cash payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(e) and Section 2.03(g). No interest will be paid or will accrue on any such consideration. The issuance or payment of the Merger Consideration and the payment of any cash payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.03(e) shall be deemed issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of HR Common Stock (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.03(g)).

(e) No certificates or book-entry securities representing less than one (1) share of Company Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger as a result of the conversion provided for in Section 2.01, but in lieu thereof each holder of HR Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Company Common Stock (after aggregating the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that such holder of HR Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01) shall be entitled to receive from the Combined Company, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.03(e), a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares equal to (i) the fraction of a share of Company Common Stock, as applicable, to which such holder of HR Common Stock would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by (ii) the average daily volume weighted average price of a share of Company Common Stock on NYSE over the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to the Combined Company that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of HR of shares of HR Common Stock which have been converted, pursuant to this Agreement, into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein, and if any HR Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and/or HR Book-Entry Shares, together with a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal, are presented to the Exchange Agent or the Combined Company for transfer they shall be cancelled and exchanged, without interest, for the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01 (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.03(e)).

(g) No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered HR Common Shares with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by the Combined Company to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such HR Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or HR Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such HR Certificate

9

or HR Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock.

(h) If any HR Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon such Person’s (i) making of an affidavit of that fact claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, (ii) delivery for the benefit of the Combined Company of a bond of indemnity in an amount and upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Agent, and (iii) execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, the Combined Company shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the amount and type of consideration to be paid in respect of each share of HR Common Stock represented by such certificate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of HR Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Closing Date shall be returned to the Combined Company, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of HR Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Combined Company for payment of the Merger Consideration, and any dividends and distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.03(g) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.03(e), in respect of such shares without any interest thereon.

(j) Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any cash in the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by the Combined Company. No losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of HR Certificates or HR Book-Entry Shares. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to the Combined Company on demand.

Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub and HR and any of their respective Subsidiaries (and any agent acting on behalf of any of them, including the Exchange Agent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Any such withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted by the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub and HR or any Subsidiary of any of them (or any agent acting on behalf of any of them, including the Exchange Agent), as the case may be, to the appropriate Governmental Entity and (b) provided that such amounts are remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

10

Section 2.05 Adjustments. In the event that, at any time during the period from the date hereof to the Effective Time, the Company or HR, as applicable, changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of HR Common Stock issued and outstanding, or the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding, as a result of a stock-split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or any similar transaction, in each case other than pursuant to the Transactions, then the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and proportionally adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such change.

Section 2.06 Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights or similar rights of an objecting stockholder to demand and receive fair value (under Section 3-201 et seq. of the MGCL or otherwise) shall be available with respect to the Merger or the Transactions.

True and complete copies of all United States federal income Tax Returns that have been filed with the IRS by HR and each HR Subsidiary with respect to the taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2017, have been made available to the Company.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will, as of such date, exceed the sum of (i) the value of all “liabilities of such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with

57

applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of such date, on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which they are engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (c) such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) will be able to pay their liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature, and (ii) after giving effect to the Special Distribution, will be able to pay their indebtedness as such indebtedness becomes due in the usual course of business and their total assets will exceed their total liabilities. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law and (ii) absent such action by the Company, the applicable provisions would prevent any Person or group from making a Company Takeover Proposal privately to the Company Board. The Company agrees that any material violations of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.03(a) by any Representative of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Stockholder Vote, in response to an unsolicited written Company Takeover Proposal received after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which did not arise as a result of a breach of the Company’s obligations under Section 6.03(a), (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact the Person or group of Persons making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and its outside legal counsel) that such proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and the failure to take such actions would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, the Company and its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives), provided, that (1) prior to so furnishing such information the Company has entered into a confidentiality agreement with such Person or group of Persons on terms not less restrictive in the aggregate to such Person or group of Persons than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement are to HR, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (including the standstill and non-solicitation provisions) and (2) all such information has previously been provided or made available to HR or its Representatives or is provided or made available to HR or its Representatives prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person or group of Persons; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03(c), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Stockholder Vote, and subject in each case to the prior compliance with Section 6.03(e), in response to a bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal that did not arise from a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.03, if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and that, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, (A) the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof may make a Company Recommendation Withdrawal and/or (B) the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(iii) in order to, concurrently with or immediately after such termination, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal; provided, that the Company shall pay to HR the Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.03(b) prior to or concurrently with such termination.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company Board may not make a Company Recommendation Withdrawal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(iii), unless (i) if such Company Recommendation Withdrawal or termination is being made as a result of a Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall have provided to HR three (3) Business Days prior written notice advising HR that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor as well as the identity of the Person(s) making such Company Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any Company Superior Proposal (including copies of all agreements or documents evidencing such Company Superior Proposal, including the proposed acquisition agreement and financing commitments, if any); and (ii) (A) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by HR, the Company shall have engaged in negotiations with HR regarding any amendment to this Agreement proposed in writing by HR and (B) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), after taking into account any such amendments that HR shall have agreed in writing to make prior to the end of such three (3) Business Day period, that such Company Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Company

Superior Proposal and the failure to make a Company Recommendation Withdrawal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(iii), as applicable, would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law; provided, that any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such a Company Superior Proposal, shall require the Company to deliver to HR a new notice pursuant to this Section 6.03(e) and result in a new negotiation period, as contemplated by this Section 6.03(e); provided, further, that any such new negotiation period shall be a period of two (2) Business Days.

(f) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in the other provisions of this Section 6.03, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty eight (48) hours after receipt) advise HR orally and in writing of the receipt of any Company Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations or requesting information with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any such Company Takeover Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal and copies of all material agreements or documents evidencing such Company Takeover Proposal, including the acquisition agreement and financing commitments, if any). The Company shall thereafter keep HR reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status (including whether the Company has entered into discussions or negotiations or provided any information with respect to any such Company Takeover Proposal) and material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal (including any material change to the terms thereof) and promptly provide HR with copies of all material agreements or documents evidencing any such Company Takeover Proposal, inquiry, offer or proposal, including financing commitments, if any.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.03 in response to an unsolicited inquiry from such Person or (iv) providing factual information the Company’s stockholders, so long as the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed, taken as a whole, is not contrary to the Company Board Recommendation or the Company Board or a committee thereof reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation concurrently with such factual communication; provided that any disclosure made pursuant to Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a), or pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board with respect to this Agreement or a Company Takeover Proposal, shall be deemed to be a Company Recommendation Withdrawal unless the response of the Company Board or an authorized committee thereof, or such disclosure, as applicable, expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation to the Company Stockholders in such disclosure; it being understood that a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company) shall not be deemed to be or constitute a Company Recommendation Withdrawal.

75

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Financing Cooperation Activities and the Sales Activities requested by HR and reasonably related to such requests are discussions and negotiations permitted to be conducted by the Company, any Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and other Representatives. Nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall prohibit the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or its and their respective directors, officers, employees or other Representatives from engaging in any such negotiations and discussions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Financing Cooperation Activities and the Sales Activities requested by HR and reasonably related to such requests shall not constitute a breach by the Company or any Company Subsidiaries of this Section 6.03, including (without limitation) in the event a Company Takeover Proposal ensues, which shall be deemed to not have arisen as a result of a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.03.

Section 6.04 HR No Solicitation.

(a) HR agrees that it shall, and shall cause the HR Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees of HR and the HR Subsidiaries to, and shall direct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any HR Takeover Proposal. HR also agrees that it shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with any HR Takeover Proposal or its consideration of any HR Takeover Proposal (and for which such a request has not previously been made) to return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of HR or any of the HR Subsidiaries and (ii) terminate any data room or other diligence access of such Person. Except as permitted by Section 6.04(b), HR shall not, and shall cause each of the HR Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and shall direct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate, any HR Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an HR Takeover Proposal, or (ii) enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (except, in response to an inquiry from any Person, solely to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.04(a)) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public material information in connection with, any HR Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an HR Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, HR shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if (i) the HR Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law and (ii) absent such action by HR, the applicable provisions would prevent any Person or group from making an HR Takeover Proposal privately to the HR Board. HR agrees that any material violations of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.04(a) by any Representative of HR shall be deemed to be a breach by HR.

76

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.04(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite HR Stockholder Vote, in response to an unsolicited written HR Takeover Proposal received after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which did not arise as a result of a breach of HR’s obligations under Section 6.04(a), (i) HR and its Representatives may contact the Person or group of Persons making such HR Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) if the HR Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the HR Financial Advisors and its outside legal counsel) that such proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an HR Superior Proposal and the failure to take such actions would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, HR and its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to HR and the HR Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons making such HR Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives), provided, that (1) prior to so furnishing such information HR has entered into a confidentiality agreement with such Person or group of Persons on terms not less restrictive in the aggregate to such Person or group of Persons than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement are to the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (including the standstill and non-solicitation provisions) and (2) all such information has previously been provided or made available to the Company or its Representatives or is provided or made available to the Company or its Representatives prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person or group of Persons; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such HR Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such HR Takeover Proposal.

(c) Except as permitted by Section 6.04(d), neither the HR Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the Company), or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the Company, the HR Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the HR Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (iii) authorize, approve, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose or resolve to authorize, approve, adopt or recommend, any HR Takeover Proposal, (any action described in these clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) being referred to as an “HR Recommendation Withdrawal”), or (iv) allow HR or any of the HR Subsidiaries to execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, or other similar Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.04(b)) providing for, or with respect to, any HR Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that the delivery by HR, the HR Board or any committee thereof of any notice specified in Section 6.04(e) shall not be deemed to be or constitute an HR Recommendation Withdrawal.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.04(c), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite HR Stockholder Vote, and subject in each case to the prior compliance with Section 6.04(e), in response to a bona fide written HR Takeover Proposal that did not arise from a breach of HR’s obligations under this Section 6.04, if the HR Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the HR Financial Advisors and outside legal counsel) that such HR

77

Takeover Proposal constitutes an HR Superior Proposal and that, if the HR Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, (A) the HR Board and/or any authorized committee thereof may make an HR Recommendation Withdrawal and/or (B) HR may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(iii) in order to, concurrently with or immediately after such termination, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such HR Superior Proposal; provided, that HR shall pay to the Company the HR Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.03(d) prior to or concurrently with such termination.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the HR Board may not make an HR Recommendation Withdrawal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(iii), unless (i) if such HR Recommendation Withdrawal or termination is being made as a result of an HR Superior Proposal, HR shall have provided to the Company three (3) Business Days prior written notice advising the Company that the HR Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor as well as the identity of the Person(s) making such HR Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any HR Superior Proposal (including copies of all agreements or documents evidencing such HR Superior Proposal, including the proposed acquisition agreement and financing commitments, if any); and (ii) (A) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by the Company, HR shall have engaged in negotiations with the Company regarding any amendment to this Agreement proposed in writing by the Company and (B) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period the HR Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the HR Financial Advisors and outside legal counsel), after taking into account any such amendments that the Company shall have agreed in writing to make prior to the end of such three (3) Business Day period, that such HR Takeover Proposal continues to constitute an HR Superior Proposal and the failure to make an HR Recommendation Withdrawal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(iii), as applicable, would, or would be reasonably likely to, be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law; provided, that any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such an HR Superior Proposal, shall require HR to deliver to the Company a new notice pursuant to this Section 6.04(e) and result in a new negotiation period, as contemplated by this Section 6.04(e); provided, further, that any such new negotiation period shall be a period of two (2) Business Days.

(f) In addition to the obligations of HR set forth in the other provisions of this Section 6.04, HR shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty eight (48) hours after receipt) advise the Company orally and in writing of the receipt of any HR Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations or requesting information with respect to any HR Takeover Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any such HR Takeover Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such HR Takeover Proposal and copies of all material agreements or documents evidencing such HR Takeover Proposal, including the acquisition agreement and financing commitments, if any). HR shall thereafter keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status (including whether HR has entered into discussions or negotiations or provided any information with respect to any such HR Takeover Proposal) and material terms of any such HR Takeover Proposal (including any material change to the terms thereof) and promptly provide the Company with copies of all material agreements or documents evidencing any such HR Takeover Proposal, inquiry, offer or proposal, including financing commitments, if any.

78

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit HR or the HR Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of HR a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of HR if the HR Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its directors’ duties under applicable Law, (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.04 in response to an unsolicited inquiry from such Person or (iv) providing factual information HR’s stockholders, so long as the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed, taken as a whole, is not contrary to the HR Board Recommendation or the HR Board or a committee thereof reaffirms the HR Board Recommendation concurrently with such factual communication; provided that any disclosure made pursuant to Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a), or pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the HR Board with respect to this Agreement or an HR Takeover Proposal, shall be deemed to be an HR Recommendation Withdrawal unless the response of the HR Board or an authorized committee thereof, or such disclosure, as applicable, expressly reaffirms the HR Board Recommendation to the HR Stockholders in such disclosure; it being understood that a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of HR pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the stockholders of HR) shall not be deemed to be or constitute an HR Recommendation Withdrawal.

Section 6.05 Access to Information. The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford HR and the Representatives of HR reasonable access (which may be limited to remote access if reasonably required to protect the health and safety of any officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in response to COVID-19) during normal business hours to its and its Subsidiaries’ assets, properties, books, records, Contracts and personnel, and shall furnish, and shall cause to be furnished, as promptly as reasonably practicable to HR and the Representatives of HR all other information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries’ business, assets, properties, Contracts and personnel as HR may reasonably request in good faith in connection with the Transactions, including the Asset Transfer and the Financing or integration planning (other than any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or, except as expressly provided in Section 5.02, to any Takeover Proposal or any other transactions potentially competing with or alternative to the Transactions or proposals from other parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions or relating to any deliberation of the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof regarding an Adverse Recommendation Change); provided that the Company may restrict the foregoing access to those Persons who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company or to the extent required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to provide such access or furnish such information to the extent doing so would (i) in light of COVID-19, jeopardize the health and safety of any officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries,

79

(ii) constitute a violation of applicable Law, (iii) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets, (iv) cause a breach of any confidentiality obligations to any third party or (v) waive or jeopardize the protection of any attorney-client privilege or protection (including attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections and confidentiality protections) or any other applicable privilege or protection; provided, however, that, at HR’s request, the Company and HR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, or make reasonable substitute arrangements, if applicable and as may be mutually agreed, to make available, the applicable information or documents to HR in a manner that would not have the effect set forth in the applicable clause. In conducting any inspection of any properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, HR and its Representatives shall not (A) interfere with the business of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries conducted at such property or (B) damage any property or any portion thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, none of HR nor any of its Representatives shall have the right to conduct invasive environmental testing or sampling at any of the facilities or properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the Company’s consent. All information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall continue to be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall affect the representations and warranties or conditions to the obligations contained herein.

Section 6.06 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub and HR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII to be satisfied, (ii) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documents to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, authorizations, approvals and permits in connection with the Transactions, (iii) taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary or advisable to make all necessary filings and obtain all such consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, authorizations, approvals and permits (including providing all necessary information and documentary material and providing personnel as necessary to attend any regulatory meetings, hearings or other proceedings) and (iv) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and the avoidance of each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition, trade regulation or other Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible.

80

(b) To the extent permissible under applicable Law, each of the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub and HR shall, in connection with the efforts referenced above to obtain all requisite approvals, clearances and authorizations for the Transactions, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other party in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by any private party, (ii) keep the other parties apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Transactions and promptly inform the other parties of any communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity and of any material communication received from or given in connection with any proceeding by any private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) permit the other parties, or the other parties’ legal counsel, to review any filing, submission or other substantive communication given by it to any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by any private party, with any other Person (it being understood that each party shall, without limitation, have the right to review in advance, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, all of the information relating to such party, and any of its respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity, with respect to this Agreement or the Merger), (iv) consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting, conference, conference call, discussion or communication with, any such Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by any private party, with any other Person and (v) to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings, conferences, conference calls, discussions and communications.

(c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Law or if any suit is instituted by any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any applicable Law, each of the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub and HR shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or challenges as such Governmental Entity or private party may have to such Transactions under such applicable Law so as to permit consummation of the Transactions on the terms set forth in this Agreement as soon as reasonably possible after the date of this Agreement (and in any event no later than the Outside Date).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations set forth in Section 6.06(a), (b) and (c) shall not apply to any stockholder litigation related to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions or related to this Agreement, which is the subject of Section 6.19.

Section 6.07 Employee Matters.

(a) Until the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date of the Continuing Employee’s termination of employment by the Combined Company or its Affiliates), the Combined Company shall provide, or cause to be provided, for those individuals who were employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be employed by the Combined Company or its Affiliates during such period (the “Continuing Employees”) a base salary or base wages, target annual cash bonus opportunities and employee benefits that are, in the good faith judgment of the Combined Company, either (x) in the aggregate reasonably comparable to the employee benefits provided by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the date of this Agreement or (y) substantially comparable to the employee benefits provided by the Combined Company or the applicable Subsidiary to similarly situated employees of the Combined Company or the applicable Subsidiary; provided, however, that the requirements of this sentence shall not apply to Continuing Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

81

(b) The Combined Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any applicable pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements in any replacement or successor welfare benefit plan of the Combined Company that a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate in following the Effective Time to the extent such exclusions or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated, (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time (to the same extent such credit was given under the analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements, and (iii) recognize service prior to the Effective Time with the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting and level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefits accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Combined Company and a Continuing Employee, the Combined Company shall honor, in accordance with its terms (including any rights of amendment, modification or termination provided therein) the existing Company Employment Agreements, and all obligations thereunder in effect as of the Effective Time.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Continuing Employee who is not a party to a Company Employment Agreement and whose employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the CIC Severance Plan) between the Effective Time and the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time shall be entitled to severance pay and benefits no less favorable than the severance pay and benefits such Continuing Employee would have been entitled to pursuant to the CIC Severance Plan and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the CIC Severance Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, a Continuing Employee who voluntarily leaves employment at any time after the Effective Time, or is terminated by the Combined Company for Cause (as defined in the CIC Severance Plan), will not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits.

82

(e) Prior to making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Transactions, the Company shall provide HR with a copy of the intended communication, HR shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and the Company shall consider any such comments in good faith.

(f) Nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of HR or any of its Subsidiaries (including any HR Benefit Plan), or (ii) subject to the requirements of this Section 6.07, shall limit the right of HR or the Combined Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan following the Closing Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.07 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, creates any third party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person, including, without limitation, any current or former employees or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or in any employee benefit plan of the Company or HR, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof.

Section 6.08 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” includes all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a party and its Affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including the preparation, filing, printing and mailing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the solicitation of the Requisite Company Stockholder Vote and the Requisite HR Stockholder Vote.

Section 6.09 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall cause the Combined Company or any applicable Subsidiary, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (including to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the MGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers, directors and employees), to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and advance expenses, provided the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking (which shall not include posting of any collateral) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification) the present and former directors, officers (to the same extent as directors) and employees (to the same extent as directors) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and any fiduciaries under any Company Benefit Plan (to the same extent as directors) (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative, arising out of (in whole or in part), relating to or in connection with any circumstances, developments or matters in existence, or acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time, including the approval of this Agreement or the Merger or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time.

83

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation relating to any circumstances, developments or matters in existence at or prior to the Effective Time, or acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Claim”), for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless (i)(A) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim and (B) such settlement, compromise or consent does not include or provide for any acknowledgement or other statement of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, or (ii) such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). The Combined Company and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim, at the expense of the Combined Company (subject to the proviso below relating to the expenses of legal counsel), and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. In the event of any Claim, the Combined Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, except that if legal counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are issues which raise actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Combined Company and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain legal counsel satisfactory to it, and the Combined Company shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such legal counsel for the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.09(a); provided, however, that the Combined Company shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.09(b) to pay for only one firm of legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such legal counsel with a conflict of interest (provided that the fewest number of legal counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used).

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall honor the provisions in the Company’s Constituent Documents in effect as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnified Parties, as applicable, with respect to the facts or circumstances occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time under applicable Law.

(d) If the Combined Company or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Combined Company shall cause proper provisions to be made prior to the consummation of any transaction of the type described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence so that the successors and assigns of the Combined Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.09.

84

(e) From and after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall comply with, and shall not, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, limit or terminate the advancement of expenses, exculpation and indemnification provisions of the agreements listed on Section 6.08(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule between the Company and any of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) In the event that the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect on the date hereof (the “D&O Insurance”) shall have lapsed prior to the Effective Time or its runoff coverage under the D&O Insurance otherwise would not survive for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Combined Company shall procure and maintain, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of at least the same coverage and amounts with reputable and financially sound carriers containing terms no less advantageous to such former directors or officers and that does not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time; provided, that in no event shall the Combined Company be required to pay annual premiums in the aggregate of more than an amount equal to 300% of the current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto; provided further that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Combined Company shall procure and maintain for such six-year period the most advantageous policies as can be reasonably obtained for the Maximum Amount. In lieu of the foregoing, prior to the later of the Effective Time and the lapse of the D&O Insurance, HR or the Company shall have the option, at HR’s expense, to cause coverage to be extended under the Company’s D&O Insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy or policies on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos above in this Section 6.09(f), and such “tail” policy or policies shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 6.09(f).

(g) This Section 6.09 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and the Combined Company.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or HR pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii) and the Requisite HR Stockholder Vote shall have been obtained, then the Company shall (i) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay or cause to be paid to HR the Expense Reimbursement Base Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by HR, and (ii) reimburse HR, no later than two (2) Business Days after submission of reasonable documentation therefor, for all of its out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment banking firms and other financial advisors, experts and consultants) actually incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by HR ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Company Expense Reimbursement”).

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii), then, prior to or concurrently with such termination, HR shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company the HR Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

107

(i) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.03 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company or HR, as the case may be, fails to timely pay or cause to be paid any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03, and, in order to obtain the payment, HR or the Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a judgment against the other parties for the payment set forth in this Section 8.03, such paying party shall pay or cause to be paid to the other party or parties, as applicable, its or their reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

(j) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall (A) the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement on more than one occasion, or (B) HR be required to pay the HR Termination Fee, the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement on more than one occasion. Subject in all respects to the Company’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related

108

rights set forth in Section 9.12 and the reimbursement obligations of HR under Section 8.03(i), in the event the HR Termination Fee, the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement is paid to the Company in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to this Section 8.03, payment of the HR Termination Fee, the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement shall be the sole and exclusive monetary damages remedy of the Company and its Subsidiaries against HR or any of its former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, financing sources, managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates (collectively, the “HR Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and upon payment of such amount none of the HR Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against HR, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the HR Related Parties arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Subject in all respects to HR’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 9.12 and the reimbursement obligations of the Company under Section 8.03(i) hereof, in the event the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement is paid to HR in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to this Section 8.03, payment of the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement shall be the sole and exclusive monetary damages remedy of the HR Related Parties against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, financing sources, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) and the Financing Sources for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and upon payment of such amount none of the Company Related Parties or the Financing Sources shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and none of HR, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Related Parties arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or any matters forming the basis for such termination. While each of the Company and HR may pursue both a grant of specific performance solely in accordance with Section 9.12 and the payment of the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement or the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement, as applicable, solely in accordance with Section 8.03, under no circumstances shall the Company or HR be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement or the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement, as applicable.

(k) If the Company becomes obligated to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement (either, as the case may be, the “Company Fee”) under this Section 8.03, then, if requested by HR, the Company shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Company Fee with an escrow agent selected by the Company that is reasonably

109

acceptable to HR pursuant to a written escrow agreement (the “Company Fee Escrow Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in this Section 8.03(k) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the escrow agent. The Company Fee Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Company Fee in escrow or the applicable portion thereof shall be released to HR on an annual basis based upon the delivery by HR to the escrow agent of any one (or a combination) of the following: (i) a letter from HR’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to HR without causing HR to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the applicable taxable year of HR determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(I) or 856(c)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (such income, “Qualifying REIT Income”), in which case the escrow agent shall release to HR such maximum amount stated in the accountant’s letter; (ii) a letter from HR’s counsel indicating that HR received a private letter ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by HR of the Company Fee would either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to HR the remainder of the Company Fee; or (iii) a letter from HR’s counsel indicating that HR has received a tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant, respectively, to the effect that the receipt by HR of the Company Fee should either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to HR the remainder of the Company Fee. The Company Fee Escrow Agreement shall further provide that, at the end of the fifth (5^th) calendar year beginning after the date on which the Company’s obligation to pay the Company Fee (or earlier if directed by HR), any remaining amount then being held in escrow by the escrow agent shall be disbursed to the Company and, in the event the Company Fee has not by then been paid in full, such unpaid portion released from escrow shall never be due. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate in good faith to amend this Section 8.03(k) at the reasonable request of HR in order to (A) maximize the portion of the applicable Company Fee that may be distributed to HR hereunder without causing HR to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (B) improve HR’s chances of securing the favorable private letter ruling from the IRS described in this Section 8.03(k) or (C) assist HR in obtaining the favorable tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant described in this Section 8.03(k). The Company Fee Escrow Agreement shall provide that HR shall bear all costs and expenses under the Company Fee Escrow Agreement. The Company shall not be a party to the Company Fee Escrow Agreement and shall not bear any liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the Company Fee Escrow Agreement (other than any Taxes imposed on the Company in connection therewith).

(l) If HR becomes obligated to pay the HR Termination Fee, the Special Distribution Termination Fee or the HR Expense Reimbursement (as the case may be, the “HR Fee”) under this Section 8.03, then, if requested by the Company, HR shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the HR Fee with an escrow agent selected by HR that is reasonably acceptable to the Company pursuant to a written escrow agreement (the “HR Fee Escrow Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in this Section 8.03(l) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the escrow agent. The HR Fee Escrow Agreement shall provide that the HR Fee in escrow or the applicable portion thereof shall be released to the Company on an annual basis based upon the delivery by the Company to the Escrow Agent of any one (or a combination) of the

110

following: (i) a letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Company without causing the Company to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the applicable taxable year of the Company determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying REIT Income, in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Company such maximum amount stated in the accountant’s letter, (ii) a letter from the Company’s counsel indicating that the Company received a private letter ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Company of the HR Fee would either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Company the remainder of the HR Fee; or (iii) a letter from the Company’s counsel indicating that the Company has received a tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant, respectively, to the effect that the receipt by the Company of the HR Fee should either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Company the remainder of the HR Fee. The HR Fee Escrow Agreement shall further provide that, at the end of the fifth (5^th) calendar year beginning after the date on which HR’s obligation to pay the HR Fee arose (or earlier if directed by the Company), any remaining amount then being held in escrow by the escrow agent shall be disbursed to HR and, in the event the HR Fee has not by then been paid in full, such unpaid portion released from escrow shall never be due. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate in good faith to amend this Section 8.03(l) at the reasonable request of the Company in order to (A) maximize the portion of the HR Fee that may be distributed to the Company hereunder without causing the Company to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (B) improve the Company’s chances of securing a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS described in this Section 8.03(l) or (C) assist the Company in obtaining the favorable tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant described in this Section 8.03(l). The HR Fee Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Company shall bear all costs and expenses under the HR Fee Escrow Agreement. HR shall not be a party to the HR Fee Escrow Agreement and shall not bear any liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the HR Fee Escrow Agreement (other than any Taxes imposed on HR in connection therewith).

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Section 8.03(l)), nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability or damages resulting from any fraud or any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Procedure for Termination. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of HR, action by the HR Board or, to the extent permitted by Law, the duly authorized designee of the HR Board, and in the case of each of the Company, the Company OP and Merger Sub, action by the Company Board or, to the extent permitted by Law, the duly authorized designee of the Company Board. Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time shall not require the approval of the stockholders of HR. A terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other parties specifying with reasonable particularity the basis for this termination. If more than one provision in Section 8.01 is available to a terminating party in connection with a termination, a terminating party may rely on any or all available provisions in Section 8.01 for any termination.

Section 9.04 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, clause or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section or clause of or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, will be deemed to refer to February 28, 2022. Whenever the content of this Agreement permits, the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders, and a reference to singular or plural will be interchangeable with the other. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the word “or” is used in this Agreement, it shall be construed in the inclusive sense of “and/or.” The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.”

113

(b) References to any agreement or contract are to that agreement or contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References to any statute are to that statute, as amended from time to time, and to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. References to “$” and “dollars” are to the currency of the United States of America. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any Schedules delivered herewith) and not merely to the specific section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears. If the day by which an action is required or permitted to be taken under this Agreement is a non-Business Day, then such action may be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) The phrase “ordinary course of business” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “consistent with past practice” and shall refer to business similar in nature and magnitude to actions customarily taken without any authorization by the board of directors in the course of normal day-to-day operations.

(d) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(e) No summary of this Agreement or Schedule delivered herewith prepared by or on behalf of any party will affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any such Schedule.

(f) The phrases “delivered,” “made available” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall mean that the information referred to has been (i) physically or electronically delivered to HR, the Company, the Company OP, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, prior to the date hereof, (ii) posted to the data site maintained by (x) the Company or its Representatives or (y) HR or its Representatives, as applicable, in connection with the Transactions prior to the date hereof or (iii) filed with or furnished to the SEC and publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR reporting system prior to the date hereof.

Section 9.05 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two (2) or more counterparts, including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party has received counterparts thereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other parties.

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement (including any Exhibits), the Company Disclosure Schedule, the HR Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Commitment Letter constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

114

(b) This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (i) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 6.09, and (ii) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Shares to receive the Merger Consideration or other payments set forth in Article II; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Financing Sources are third party beneficiaries of Section 6.24, Section 6.25, the last sentence of Section 8.02, Section 8.03(j), this Section 9.06, Section 9.08, Section 9.09, Section 9.10, Section 9.11 and Section 9.14 of this Agreement.

(c) The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties in accordance with Section 9.10(b) without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties. Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 9.07 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy in any jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.08 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the Company, the Company OP and Merger Sub may grant a security interest in their respective rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, in connection with the Financing. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.09 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after the Requisite Company Stockholder Vote or the Requisite HR Stockholder Vote is obtained, but after such approval no amendment shall be made which by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by the stockholders of the

115

Company or by the stockholders of HR, as applicable, without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to Section 6.24, Section 6.25, the last sentence of Section 8.02, Section 8.03(j), Section 9.06, Section 9.08, this Section 9.09, Section 9.10, Section 9.11 and Section 9.14 or the definition of “Financing Sources” in this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of Section 6.24, Section 6.25, the last sentence of Section 8.02, Section 8.03(j), Section 9.06, Section 9.08, this Section 9.09, Section 9.10, Section 9.11 and Section 9.14 or the definition of “Financing Sources” in this Agreement) that in any way affects the rights of the Financing Sources shall be effective except with the prior written consent of the Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letter relating to such amendment.

Section 9.10 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors or board of trustees, as applicable, may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 6.24, Section 6.25, the last sentence of Section 8.02, Section 8.03(j), Section 9.06, Section 9.08, Section 9.09, this Section 9.10, Section 9.14 or the definition of “Financing Sources” in this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections or definition) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letter.

Section 9.11 Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and any disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS), THE COMPANY DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE, THE HR DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE OR THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS), SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND, NORTHERN

116

DIVISION, OR, ONLY IF THAT COURT LACKS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND; (II) SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING CLAUSE (I) (AND TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT TO WHICH AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN FROM SUCH COURTS); AND (III) WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AS A DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON-CONVENIENS, AND AGREES NOT TO SEEK TRANSFER TO ANY OTHER VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER CONSENTS TO THE ASSIGNMENT OF ANY PROCEEDING IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND TO THE BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PURSUANT TO MARYLAND RULE 16-308 (OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO). THE PARTIES AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.03 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS) IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS), THE COMPANY DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE, THE HR DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE OR THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS) BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11(C).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or support any action or proceeding of any kind or description (whether at law, in contract or in tort) against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to any Commitment Letter, the Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York, whether a state or federal court, and that the provisions of Section 9.11 relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such action or proceeding.

117

Section 9.12 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

To the extent the Partnership acquires any property by the merger of any other Person into the Partnership or the contribution of assets by any other Person to the Partnership, Persons who receive Partnership Interests in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into or contributing assets to the Partnership shall become Partners and shall be deemed to have made Capital Contributions as provided in the applicable merger agreement or contribution agreement and as set forth in Exhibit A, as amended to reflect such deemed Capital Contributions.

(c) Partnership Units. Each Partner shall own Partnership Units in the amounts set forth for such Partner in Exhibit A and shall have a Common Percentage Interest as set forth in Exhibit A, which Percentage Interests shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions, additional Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units, Transfers or similar events having an effect on the number of Partnership Units held by, and the Percentage Interest(s) of, any Partner. Each Common Partnership Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which the Partners (or any portion of the Partners) are entitled to vote under this Agreement.

18

(d) No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as provided in Sections 4.1(c), 4.3(a) and 10.5, the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the Partnership (whether in the form of loans or otherwise) and no Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise.

4.2 ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

(a) The General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests (or options or warrants to acquire Partnership Interests) in the form of Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more series or classes to any Persons at any time or from time to time, on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall establish in each case in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of each class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions, and (iii) the rights of each class or series of Partnership Interest upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.2(a), the General Partner may take such steps as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to admit any Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership in accordance with Section 12.2 or to issue any Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, amending the Certificate, Exhibit A or any other provision of this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests (or options to acquire Partnership Interests) for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interest of the Partnership and the Partners (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of Partnership Units in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan providing for employee purchases of REIT Stock and corresponding Partnership Units at a discount from fair market value or employee options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the REIT Stock and corresponding Partnership Units covered by the option, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise).

4.3 CONVERTED UNITS

As of the Effective Date, all LTIP Partnership Units (as defined in the A&R Agreement) previously issued by the Partnership have been, or are hereby, converted into Common Series B Units pursuant to the terms of the A&R Agreement.

4.4 ADDITIONAL FUNDS

(a) The sums of money required to finance the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be derived from the initial Capital Contributions made to the Partnership by the Partners as set forth in Section 4.1 and from funds generated from the operation and business of the Partnership.

19

(b) In the event additional financing is needed from sources other than as set forth in Section 4.4(a) for any reason, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, in such amounts and at such times as it solely shall determine to be necessary or appropriate:

(i) cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests and admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.2;

(ii) make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership (subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(a));

(iii) cause the Partnership to borrow money, enter into loan arrangements, issue debt securities, obtain letters of credit or otherwise borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis;

(iv) make a loan or loans to the Partnership (subject to Section 4.3(a)); or

(v) cause the Partnership to sell any assets or properties directly or indirectly owned by the Partnership.

4.5 NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY

No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligations of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

4.6 NO INTEREST

No Partner shall be entitled to interest on any Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account.

4.7 NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

No Person shall have any preemptive or other similar right with respect to any:

(a) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership; or

(b) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.

4.8 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

The Partnership shall establish and maintain throughout the life of the Partnership for each Partner a separate “Capital Account” in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (iii) a new or existing Partner acquires a more than de minimis additional interest in the Partnership as

20

consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership in a partner capacity or in anticipation of becoming a partner, or (iv) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article 6 if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1 DISTRIBUTIONS

(a) Except as provided in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 8.6(c), 11.6(d), and 13.2, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Partners as of the applicable Partnership Record Date, at such times as the General Partner shall determine, amounts of Available Operating Cash and Net Sales Proceeds in the manner set forth in this Section 5.1.

(b) Available Operating Cash shall be distributed to the Partners as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion in the following order of priority:

(i) First, if any Aggregate Unpaid Dividend Equivalent Amounts exists with respect to any Outside Limited Partner, then, such Aggregate Unpaid Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be calculated separately with respect to each previous calendar quarter, and the amounts thereof shall distributed to the applicable Outside Limited Partners, in the order in which such Aggregate Unpaid Dividend Equivalent Amounts have accrued (with the amounts attributable to the earliest calendar quarter being paid first and the amounts attributable to the most recent calendar quarter being paid last), in proportion to the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests (on the applicable Partnership Record Date) of the Aggregate Unpaid Divided Equivalent Amounts attributable to each such calendar quarter;

(ii) Second, to all Partners (including the General Partner) in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the applicable Partnership Record Date, until each Outside Limited Partner has received an amount equal to its Dividend Equivalent for such Current Period;

(iii) Third, the remaining Available Operating Cash, 100% to the General Partner or any affiliate of the General Partner in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on the applicable Partnership Record Date.

21

(c) Net Sales Proceeds shall be distributed to the Partners as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with clause (b) above.

(d) If a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any date other than a REIT Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Interest for the Partnership Record Date following the issuance of such additional Partnership Interest shall be reduced in the proportion that the number of days that such additional Partnership Interest is held by such Partner bears to the number of days between such Partnership Record Date and the immediately preceding REIT Record Date.

(e) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of REIT Stock for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been redeemed and exchanged in accordance with this Agreement.

5.2 QUALIFICATION AS A REIT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts under this Article 5 to enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends that will enable the General Partner to (a) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and the Treasury Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”), and (b) avoid any Federal income or excise tax liability; provided, however, the General Partner shall not be bound to comply with this covenant to the extent such distributions would violate applicable Delaware law. A distribution made by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall have priority over the amounts required to be distributed in accordance with Section 5.1. In the event the General Partner determines it is unable to timely pay the Dividend Equivalent because of the reasons set forth in this Section 5.2, the resulting portion of the Aggregate Unpaid Dividend Equivalent Amount shall include and be increased by the Unpaid Dividend Equivalent Amount Yield.

5.3 WITHHOLDING

With respect to any withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation to which the Partnership may be subject as a result of any act by or status of any Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any Partnership Interest, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts of Available Operating Cash or Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets distributable to such Partner or with respect to such Partnership Interests, to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 10.5.

5.4 ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1 shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect any distribution priority of such Partnership Interests and corresponding amendments shall be made to the provisions of Article 6. If a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a Capital Contribution or otherwise on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, such Partner shall not be entitled to any distributions with respect to such additional Partnership Interest until the first Partnership Record Date following the date of such issuance.

22

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

6.1 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 and in Section 11.6(c), and after making any special allocations under Section 6.2, Profits(and items thereof) and Losses (and items thereof) for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period shall be allocated among the Partners such that the ending Adjusted Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after giving effect to the allocations under this Article 6, is, as nearly as possible, equal to 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 Value, all liabilities of the Partnership were satisfied with cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), and such hypothetical proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.1. For purposes of the preceding allocations only, a Partner holding more than one class or series of Partnership Interests or units shall be deemed to be a separate Partner with respect to each such class, series or units.

(b) Adjustment. If the amount of Losses for any Fiscal Year that otherwise would be allocated to a Partner under Section 6.1(a) or this Section 6.1(b) would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as of the last day of such Fiscal Year (after all other allocations have been made pursuant to this Article 6), then such Partner shall be allocated that amount of Losses which does not cause or increase such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, and the remainder of such Losses that would have been allocated to such Partner shall be allocated to the other Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

6.2 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS

Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and (j)(2). This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

23

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury 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 that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent and in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, gross items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner so as to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This subparagraph is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partners that bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1).

(f) Definition of “Profits” and “Losses”. “Profits” and “Losses” and any item of income, gain, expense, or loss referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1(b), 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d) and 6.2(e). All allocations of Profit and Loss (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code including a method that may result in a Partner receiving a disproportionately larger share of the Partnership tax depreciation deductions, and such election shall be binding on all Partners.

24

(g) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.1(b) and Sections 6.2(a) through (e) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2(g). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(c). In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.2(g), the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 6.2(d) and 6.2(e).

(h) Changes in Interest. If during any Fiscal Year there is a change in any Partner’s Percentage Interest, then for purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to such Partner for such Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

6.3 RESERVED

6.4 REVISIONS TO ALLOCATIONS TO REFLECT ISSUANCE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article 4, the General Partner shall make any such revisions to this Article 6 as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto. Such revisions shall not require the consent or approval of any other Partner.

(C) Such Claim was not the result of:

(1) with respect to the General Partner, the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the General Partner;

(2) with respect to any Limited Partner, the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Limited Partner;

(3) with respect to the directors, officers and employees of the General Partner, the negligence or misconduct of such Person; or

(4) with respect to the Independent Directors (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation), the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Independent Director; and

(D) any indemnification or agreement to hold harmless may be paid only out of the Net Assets of the Partnership, 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 7.6;

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.6(b)(ii), the Partnership will not indemnify any Indemnitee for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless:

(A) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnitee;

(B) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnitee; or

(C) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, and the court considering the matter has been advised of the position of the Securities Exchange Commission and the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

31

(c) Contractual Obligations. Without limitation, the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.6 shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a Limited Partner of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in any such loan guaranty), contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other obligation or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnification agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.

(d) Advancement of Expenses. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all Claims made or threatened against an Indemnitee only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Claim relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Partnership, (ii) either (A) the Claim was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the General Partner or (B) if the proceeding was initiated by a stockholder of the General Partner, the initiating stockholder was acting in his or her capacity as such and the advancement was approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) the Indemnitee provides the Partnership with a written undertaking to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of conduct and is not entitled to indemnification.

(e) No Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.6 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 Indemnitees are indemnified.

(f) 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.

(g) Benefit Plan Fiduciary. For purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan. Excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6 and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.

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

32

(i) Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.6 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.

(j) Benefit. The provisions of this Section 7.6 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.

(k) Amendment of this Section 7.6. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, 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.

(l) Indemnification Payments Not Distributions. If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.6 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.

(m) Exception to Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Claim for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify the Partnership under any other agreement between the General Partner and the Partnership.

7.7 LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

(a) General. To the maximum extent permitted under the Act, neither the General Partner nor any director, officer, shareholder, partner, member or employee, trustee, representative or agent of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by it, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising from any such act or omission, except to the extent such loss, claim, cost damage or liability results from such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Partnership or (iii) any losses due to the misconduct, negligence (gross or ordinary), dishonesty or bad faith of any agents of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.7(a), this limitation on liability applies only to the extent that the particular officer or director has satisfied the requirements of Sections 7.6(b)(i) and (ii).

(b) No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of Limited Partners. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that (i) the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the stockholders of the General Partner, collectively, (ii) the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interest of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and (iii) the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, unless the General Partner, as the case may be, acted in bad faith and the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the loss, liability or benefit not derived.

33

(c) Conflict. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that in the event of any conflict in the fiduciary duties owed by the General Partner to its stockholders and by the General Partner, in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, to the Limited Partners, the General Partner may act in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders without violating its fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the Limited Partners in connection with any such violation.

(d) Amendment of this Section 7.7. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(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.

(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, agents, and duly appointed attorneys-in-fact. Each such officer, agent or attorney-in-fact shall, to the extent granted by the General Partner in writing, have full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

(d) Actions to Maintain REIT Status. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement 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 to: (i) protect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT, or (ii) avoid the General Partner incurring any taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

34

7.9 TITLE TO PARTNERSHIP ASSETS

Title to all Partnership Assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be held by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in the Partnership Assets or any portion thereof.

(b) 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.

Except as expressly provided herein, no Limited Partner shall have the right to vote for the election, removal or replacement of the General Partner.

8.3 OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES OF LIMITED PARTNERS

Subject to any agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates, or any Assignee, with the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, any Limited Partner or Assignee and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or shareholder or other equity owner of any Limited Partner or Assignee 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 that are in direct competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the other 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 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 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.

In addition to the other rights provided by this Agreement and any rights granted to limited partners of a limited partnership under the Act that such limited partners are not permitted to waive under the Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5(b) hereof, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s own expense (including such reasonable copying and administrative charges as the General Partner may establish from time to time):

Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all rights that such Limited Partner may have under the Act that the Act permits limited partners to waive, except any such right that is granted expressly to such Limited Partner under this Agreement.

(b) Confidentiality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information, the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or its business; or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with an unaffiliated third party to keep confidential.

8.6 REDEMPTION OF COMMON PARTNERSHIP UNITS

(a) Series A Redemption Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6, at any time on or after the first anniversary date of the issuance of Common Series A Units to a Partner, such Partner shall have the right (the “Series A Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of such Common Series A Units held by such Partner, at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Redemption Amount. The Series A Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Series A Notice of Redemption Request delivered to the General Partner by the Partner who is exercising the Series A Redemption Right.

37

(b) Series B Redemption Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6, a holder of Common Series B Units shall have the right (the “Series B Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of such Common Series B Units, at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Redemption Amount. The Series B Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Series B Notice of Redemption Request delivered to the General Partner by the Partner who is exercising the Series B Redemption Right.

(c) Distributions and Allocations.

(i) Subject to Section 8.6(d), a Partner who has exercised a Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Partner”) shall have no right to receive any distributions that are paid after the Specified Redemption Date with respect to any Partnership Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 8.6.

(ii) If any Partnership Interest is redeemed (other than pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Profit, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated to the Redeeming Partner by taking into account the Redeeming Partner’s ownership of such Partnership Interest 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 monthly proration period, in which event Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such redeemed Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner).

(d) General Partner Assumption of Obligation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a) or 8.6(b), a Redeeming Partner shall be deemed to have offered to sell the Partnership Units described in the Series A Notice of Redemption Request or in the Series B Notice of Redemption Request to the General Partner, and the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of REIT Stock in the Articles of Incorporation), assume directly the obligation to satisfy a Series A Redemption Right or a Series B Redemption Right and satisfy such Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner the Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. In the event that the General Partner shall exercise this right to satisfy the Series A Redemption Right or the Series B Redemption Right in the manner described in the preceding sentence and shall fully perform its obligation to pay the Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner for Federal income tax purposes. In such event, the General Partner shall become the holder of such Common Units; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall not be entitled to receive any Dividend Equivalent with respect to such Common Units. Distributions and allocations with respect to Partnership Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(d) shall be made in accordance with Sections 11.6(c) and 11.6(d).

38

(e) Fractional Shares. If the General Partner elects, either on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, to satisfy the Series A Redemption Right or a Series B Redemption Right by paying the REIT Stock Amount, and the REIT Stock Amount is not equal to a whole number of shares of REIT Stock, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid (i) that number of shares of REIT Stock which equals the nearest whole number less than the REIT Stock Amount, plus (ii) (A) an amount of cash equal to the Value of one share of REIT Stock on the applicable Valuation Date, multiplied by (B) the REIT Stock Amount minus the whole number of shares of REIT Stock pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.6(e).

(f) Execution of Documents. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with (i) the exercise and satisfaction of the Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right (as applicable), (ii) any assumption by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d), and (iii) any issuance of REIT Stock in connection with the Partnership or the General Partner paying the Redemption Amount to the Redeeming Partner.

(g) Exceptions to Redemption Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a) or 8.6(b), unless the General Partner elects for payment of the Redemption Amount by the Partnership to be paid in cash, a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right if the delivery of REIT Stock to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date would (i) be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws of the General Partner, (ii) adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code, (iii) constitute or be likely to constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations, or (iv) be prohibited under Section 11.6(f) (in each case regardless of whether the General Partner would in fact assume and satisfy the Series A Redemption Right).

(h) Exercise of Redemption Right by the General Partner. With respect to any Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right exercised by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(h), the General Partner will elect for payment of the Redemption Amount by the Partnership to the General Partner to be the Cash Amount.

(i) Assignees. The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6 with respect to any Partnership Units Transferred by such Limited Partner to such Assignee, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited Partner, the Redemption Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

39

(j) No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption. Each Partner covenants and agrees that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, free and clear of all Liens. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any Liens. Each Partner further agrees that, if any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the Transfer of its Partnership Units to the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6, such Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

(k) Cancellation of Units; Amendments to Exhibit A. Upon the redemption of Partnership Units pursuant to this Section 8.6, (i) all such redeemed Partnership Units (other than Partnership Units redeemed pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) shall be cancelled, and (ii) the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the new Percentage Interests of the Partners and to (A) either adjust the number of Partnership Units and the Percentage Interest of the Redeeming Partner or eliminate the Redeeming Partner from Exhibit A, as applicable, and (B) in the event that the General Partner assumes the obligation to satisfy a Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.6(d), adjust the number of Partnership Units and the Percentage Interest of the General Partner to reflect the Transfer of such Partnership Units to the General Partner.

(l) Additional Partnership Interests. If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article 4, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as the General Partner determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such Partnership Interests (including setting forth any restrictions on the exercise of the Series A Redemption Right with respect to such Partnership Interests).

8.7 RESERVED

8.8 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION FACTOR

(a) In the event that the General Partner (A) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Stock in REIT Stock or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Stock in REIT Stock, (B) subdivides its outstanding REIT Stock, or (C) combines its outstanding REIT Stock into a smaller number of shares of REIT Stock, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of REIT Stock issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of shares REIT Stock (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on such date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the General Partner declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Stock in REIT Stock or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Stock in REIT Stock (including a dividend in which stockholders may elect to receive all or a portion of such dividend in cash (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment program)), no adjustment shall be made if, promptly thereafter, with respect to any dividend or distribution with respect to REIT Stock, the Partnership pays a distribution with respect to each Partnership Unit consisting of a number of Partnership Units (or fraction thereof) equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate number of shares of REIT Stock paid by the General Partner as a dividend to all stockholders, by (b) the aggregate number of shares of REIT Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such dividend, and (ii) the number of shares of REIT Stock for which such Partnership Unit is then redeemable pursuant to Section 8.6.

40

(b) Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of any of the events described in subsection (a), retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event, provided, however, that if the Partnership receives a Series A Notice of Redemption Request or Series B Notice of Redemption Request after the record date, but prior to the payment date or effective date, of any dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination referred to in subsection (a), the Conversion Factor shall be determined as if the Partnership had received such Series A Notice of Redemption Request or Series B Notice of Redemption Request immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination.

10.2 TAX ELECTIONS

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.

10.3 PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE

(a) General. For years prior to the effective date of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. For years in which the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 is effective, the General Partner shall serve as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code and corresponding state laws (in such capacity the “partnership representative”) and shall appoint a “designated individual” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 301.6223-1(b)(3) and corresponding state laws. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “partnership representative” shall include a “designated individual”.

Any person who serves as partnership representative 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 bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or a material breach of this Agreement. Upon the partnership representative’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 Tax Audit Rules. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any taxes, penalties, and interest payable by the Partnership under the Partnership

42

Tax Audit Rules shall be treated as attributable to the Partners or former Partners and, to the extent possible, the partnership representative shall allocate the burden of any such amounts to those Partners or former Partners to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable in the partnership representative’s reasonable discretion, exercised in good faith. The partnership representative and any “designated individual” shall be Indemnitees hereunder. In the event of a Transfer of a Partner’s Interest, the transferor Partner’s obligations under this Section shall survive such transfer, and such transferor Partner and the transferee Partner shall be liable for any taxes, penalties, and interest payable by the Partnership under the Partnership Audit Rules that are reasonably attributable to such Interest.

(b) Reimbursements. 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 to assist partnership representative in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable.

10.4 ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a 180-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

10.5 WITHHOLDING

(a) General. 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 Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code.

(b) Treatment of Amounts Withheld. 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 from amounts otherwise distributable to a Limited Partner as described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.5(b) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner.

(c) Security Interest. 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 10.5. 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.

43

(d) Default. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay when due any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5, 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. Without limitation, in such event, the General Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting Limited Partner until such time as such loan, together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to the defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid by the defaulting Limited Partner to the General Partner in repayment of such loan.

(e) Interest. Any amount payable by a Limited Partner under this Section 10.5 shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) 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, and (ii) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full.

11.3 LIMITED PARTNERS’ RIGHTS TO TRANSFER

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3(b), no Limited Partner shall have the right to Transfer all or a portion of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s rights as a Limited Partner, without the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3(a), but subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), and 11.3(e) and other applicable restrictions on Transfers contained in this Article 11, a Limited Partner may Transfer, with or without the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his Common Partnership Units to a Permitted Transferee; provided that such Permitted Transferee must qualify as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; and provided further that, no Transfer pursuant to this Section 11.3(b) shall be effective until the General Partner receives notice of such Transfer.

(d) No Transfers to Certain Lenders. No Transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

45

(e) Additional Prohibited Transfers. No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if:

(i) in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code;

(ii) in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

11.4 SUBSTITUTED LIMITED PARTNERS

(a) Consent of the General Partner. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a Permitted Transferee in such Limited Partner’s place. The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substitute 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 such transferee to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

(b) Rights of a Substituted Limited Partner. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.

11.5 ASSIGNEES

If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4(a), such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Profit, Losses and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in 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 of the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

11.6 GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) Withdrawal of a Limited Partner. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units pursuant to which the transferee is admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner or a redemption of all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1(e), 8.6 or 8.7.

(b) Termination of Status as a Limited Partner.

(c) Allocations. If any Partnership Interest is Transferred during the Partnership’s Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 (including Transfers to the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Profit, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership 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 monthly proration period, in which event Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such transferred Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner).

47

(d) Distributions. All distributions of Available Operating Cash, Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets attributable to Partnership Units, with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of a Transfer of such Partnership Units (including any Transfer to the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d)), shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Operating Cash, Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units shall be made to the transferee Partner.

(e) Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each transferee shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account or portion thereof of the Partner to which such transferee succeeds, at the time such transferee is admitted to the Partnership.

Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or distribution to, a then-Partner shall include a Capital Contribution or distribution previously made by or to any prior Partner on account of the Partnership Interest of such then-Partner.

(f) Additional Restrictions. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner or any redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 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 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 the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (v) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Series A Redemption Right or Series B Redemption Right under Section 8.6 unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel advises the General Partner that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) if such Transfer would cause the General Partner to own 10% or more of the ownership interests of any tenant of a property held by the Partnership within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (ix) if such Transfer would result in the General Partner being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; or (x) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code.

In the case of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, all items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Section 11.6(c) hereof.

(i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.6 hereof; and

(ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner.

(b) General Partner’s Consent Required.

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 of the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited Partner.

49

ARTICLE XIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

13.1 DISSOLUTION

The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 13.1(b), 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, only upon the first to occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”):

(a) the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5 hereof;

(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 such event of withdrawal, a “majority in interest” (as defined below) 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 successor General Partner;

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

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

(e) the occurrence of a Terminating Sale Transaction; or

(f) a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner or the Partnership 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 or the Partnership, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment a “majority in interest” (as defined below) 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, if applicable.

50

As used in this Article 13, a “majority in interest” shall refer to Partners (excluding the General Partner) who hold Common Partnership Units that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Partnership Units not held by the General Partner.

13.2 WINDING UP; LIQUIDATION

(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up as provided in this Section 13.2. The General Partner shall act as the “Liquidator” (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the total number of Common Partnership Units then issued and outstanding). The Liquidator shall wind up the affairs of the Partnership, shall dispose of such Partnership Assets as it deems necessary or appropriate and shall pay and distribute the assets of the Partnership, including the proceeds of any such disposition, as follows:

(i) first, to creditors, including Partners who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Partnership (whether by payment or by establishment or reserves as determined by the Liquidator in its sole discretion), other than distributions to Partners pursuant to Article 5, and

(ii) second, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.

It is intended that such distributions will result in the Partners receiving aggregate distributions in the order of and equal to the amount of distributions that would have been received if the liquidating distributions were made in accordance with Section 5.1. However, if the balances in the Capital Accounts do not result in such intention being satisfied, items of Profits and Losses will be reallocated among the Partners for the Fiscal Year of the liquidation (and, at the election of the General Partner, if necessary and permissible, prior Fiscal Years) so as to cause the balances in the Capital Accounts to be in the amounts necessary to assure that such result is achieved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), liquidation distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year in which the Partnership liquidates or, if later, within ninety (90) days of the date of such liquidation.

(b) In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

(i) 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 the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership; the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, 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

(ii) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2(a) as soon as practicable.

51

(c) The Liquidator shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to sell any Partnership Assets, including, without limitation, Real Estate Assets, and if so, whether at a public or private sale, for what price and on what terms. If the Liquidator determines to sell or otherwise dispose of any Partnership Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall do so expeditiously and for its fair market value under the circumstances, giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. If the Liquidator determines not to sell or otherwise dispose of any Partnership Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall not be required to distribute the same to the Partners promptly but shall have full right and discretion to determine the time and manner of such distribution and distributions giving due regard to the interests of the Partners.

13.3 NO OBLIGATION TO CONTRIBUTE DEFICIT

If any Partner has a deficit balance in his 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.

13.4 NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION

In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1, 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.

13.5 TERMINATION OF PARTNERSHIP AND CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets, as provided in Section 13.2, the Partnership shall be terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed, and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the state of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

13.6 REASONABLE TIME FOR WINDING-UP

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

52

13.7 WAIVER OF PARTITION

Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

ARTICLE XIV

AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

14.1 AMENDMENTS

(a) By the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the power, without the consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement except as set forth in Section 14.1(b) hereof.

The Limited Partners shall not have the power to amend this Agreement.

(b) Restrictions on General Partner’s Ability to Amend this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 14.1(a), this Agreement shall not be amended (whether by merger (including a merger where the Partnership is the surviving entity), division, operation of law, or otherwise) with respect to any Partner adversely affected without the Consent of such Partner adversely affected if such amendment would:

(iii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner in a manner adverse to such Limited Partner;

(v) amend this Section 14.1(b).

14.2 MEETINGS OF THE PARTNERS

53

(b) Vote Required.

Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote the holders of Partnership Units that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement) of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Partnership Units held by the Partners (including the General Partner). 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 of the consent as certified by the General Partner.

(d) Proxy. Each Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him by proxy on all matters in which a 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 Partner or his attorney-in-fact and a copy thereof delivered to the Partnership. 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 Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the General Partner’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy.

(e) Conduct of Meeting. Each meeting of the 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. Meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the stockholders of the General Partner and may be held at the same time, and as part of, meetings of the stockholders of the General Partner.
