(i)increase such Capital Account by any amounts that such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement upon liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest or that such Person is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and
(ii)decrease such Capital Account by the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

“Adjustment Factor” means 1.0; provided, however, that in the event that the REIT Limited Partner:
(iii)(a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares wholly or partly in NAV REIT Common Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares wholly or partly in NAV REIT Common Shares, (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares or (c) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares into a smaller number of NAV REIT Common Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the date of such transaction by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has occurred as of such time) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of NAV REIT Common Shares (determined without the above assumption)
2

issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination;
(iv)distributes any Distributed Rights, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted as of the record date for the distribution of such Distributed Rights (or, if such Distributed Rights become exercisable only upon the occurrence of an event that may or may not occur, the date on which such Distributed Rights become exercisable), by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued and outstanding on the record date (or the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable, if applicable) plus the maximum number of NAV REIT Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Distributed Rights and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued and outstanding on the record date (or the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable, if applicable) plus a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the product of the maximum number of NAV REIT Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Distributed Rights multiplied by the minimum purchase price per NAV REIT Common Share under such Distributed Rights and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a NAV REIT Common Share as of the record date (or the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable, if applicable); provided, however, that, if any such Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be further adjusted to reflect a reduced maximum number of NAV REIT Common Shares or any change in the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction; provided further, that any such further adjustment in respect of the distribution of Distributed Rights shall be effective retroactive to the record date for their distribution (or the date on which they became exercisable, if such Distributed Rights became exercisable only upon the occurrence of an event that may or may not have occurred) for all purposes in this Agreement and any issuance, distribution, redemption, purchase by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C or payment may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, be effected on the basis of the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to any adjustment under this paragraph (ii), subject to a subsequent supplemental issuance, distribution, redemption, purchase or payment, as applicable, to reflect the Adjustment Factor as finally determined under this provision;
(v)distributes to all holders of its NAV REIT Common Shares (by dividend or otherwise) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i) or (ii) above), the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted to equal the product of the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such distribution multiplied by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the Value of a NAV REIT Common Share as of the record date and (b) the denominator of which shall be the amount by which the Value of a NAV REIT Common Share as of the record date exceeds the then fair market value (as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed in respect of one NAV REIT Common Share; provided, however, no such adjustment to the
3

Adjustment Factor shall be made for any distribution of evidences of indebtedness or assets relating to indebtedness or assets received by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution to Common Units by the Partnership; and
(vi)determines in its sole and absolute discretion that (1) an event not described by subclauses (i) through (iii) has occurred that requires an adjustment to the Adjustment Factor to ensure fair and equitable treatment of holders of NAV REIT Common Shares and/or holders of Common Units or (2) the calculation of the Adjustment Factor as prescribed in subclauses (i) through (iii) above will not lead to a fair and equitable treatment of holders of NAV REIT Common Shares and/or holders of Common Units, the Adjustment Factor shall be such number as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be made for any class or series of Limited Partner Interests to the extent that the Partnership or REIT Limited Partner makes or effects any correlative distribution or payment to all of the Partners holding Partnership Interests of such class or series, or the Partnership effects any correlative split or reverse split in respect of the Partnership Interests of such class or series.

27

Designation applicable to the Partnership Units held by such Partner or (ii) a separate writing addressed to the Partnership and the General Partner.
Article 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1 Capital Contributions of the Partners. The Partners have heretofore made Capital Contributions to the Partnership. Except as provided by law or in Section 4.2, 4.3, or 10.4 hereof, the Partners shall have no obligation or, except with the prior Consent of the General Partner, right to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. The General Partner shall cause to be maintained in the principal business office of the Partnership, or such other place as may be determined by the General Partner, the books and records of the Partnership, which shall include, among other things, a register containing the name, address, and number, class and series of Partnership Units of each Partner, and such other information as the General Partner may deem necessary or desirable (the “Register”). The Register shall not be part of this Agreement. The General Partner shall from time to time update the Register as necessary to accurately reflect the information therein, including as a result of any sales, exchanges or other Transfers, or any redemptions, issuances or similar events involving Partnership Units. Any reference in this Agreement to the Register shall be deemed a reference to the Register as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the General Partner may take any action authorized hereunder in respect of the Register without any need to obtain the consent or approval of any other Partner. No action of any Limited Partner shall be required to amend or update the Register. Except as required by law, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive a copy of the information set forth in the Register relating to any Partner other than itself.
Section 4.2 Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation:
A.General. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units, for any Partnership purpose, at any time or from time to time, to the Partners (including the General Partner) or to other Persons, and to admit such Persons as Additional Limited Partners, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, all without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units: (i) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any Debt, Partnership Units, or other securities issued by the Partnership, (ii) for less than fair market value, (iii) for no consideration, (iv) in connection with any merger of any other Person into the Partnership or (v) upon contribution of property or assets to the Partnership. Any additional Partnership Interests may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption (including, without limitation, terms that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference over existing Partnership Units) as shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
28

discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by this reference (each, a “Partnership Unit Designation”), without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have authority to specify in the applicable Partnership Unit Designation: (a) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (b) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share (on a pari passu, junior or preferred basis) in Partnership distributions; (c) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (d) the voting rights, if any, of each such class or series of Partnership Interests; and (e) the conversion, redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such class or series of Partnership Interests. Except as expressly set forth in any Partnership Unit Designation or as may otherwise be required under the Act, a Partnership Interest of any class or series other than a Common Unit shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on, or consent to, any matter. Upon the issuance of any additional Partnership Interest, the General Partner shall update the Register and the books and records of the Partnership as appropriate to reflect such issuance.
B.Issuances of Compensatory Units. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner is hereby authorized to create one or more classes or series of additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units (each such class or series of Partnership Interests is referred to as “Compensatory Units”), for issuance at any time or from time to time to any external manager, director, trustee, officer or employee of the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or any of their respective Affiliates, and to admit such Persons as Additional Limited Partners or General Partners, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner, all without approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person. The General Partner shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any class or series of Compensatory Units (including, without limitation, the extent to which the value or number of each such class or series of Compensatory Units is subject to adjustment based on the financial performance of the General Partner). Upon the issuance of any class or series of Compensatory Units, the General Partner shall amend the Partnership Agreement, including the Register and the books and records of the Partnership as appropriate to reflect such issuance.
C.Issuances to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner. No additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner unless such additional Partnership Units (i) are issued as part of an issuance to all Partners holding Common Units, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in Common Units, (ii) are Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of NAV REIT Common Shares, (iii) are Partnership Equivalent Units (other than Common Units) or Partnership Equivalent Securities issued in connection with an issuance of NAV REIT Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the REIT Limited Partner (other than NAV REIT Common Shares), (iv) are issued
29

upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt, Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership, or (v) are issued pursuant to Section 4.3.B (Additional Capital Contributions), Section 4.3.D (Issuance of Securities by the REIT Limited Partner), Section 4.4 (Equity Awards and Plans), Section 4.5 (Warrants) or Section 4.6 (Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Deferred Compensation and Similar Plans); provided, however, in exchange for any issuance pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii), the REIT Limited Partner shall contribute to the Partnership the cash proceeds or other consideration received in connection with the issuance of such NAV REIT Common Shares, NAV REIT Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the REIT Limited Partner.
D.No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly specified in this Agreement or any Partnership Unit Designation, no Person, including, without limitation, any Partner or Assignee, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interest.
Section 4.3 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions.
A.General. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Properties, for the redemption of Partnership Units or for such other purposes as the General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person.
B.Additional Capital Contributions. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Units (as set forth in Section 4.2 above) in consideration therefor and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units.
C.Loans by Third Parties.
(1)The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to any Person other than the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner (other than as set forth in paragraph (2) below) upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units or NAV REIT Common Shares.
(2)The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner if such Debt is either (a) to the extent permitted by law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule,
30

and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as Funding Debt incurred by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Partnership to provide such Additional Funds, (b) on terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate to the Partnership than would be available to the Partnership from a third party or (c) of the type described by clause (iii) of the definition of Debt.
(3)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3.C, the Partnership shall not incur any Debt under which (a) any Partner (or any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, principal, director, officer, adviser, beneficiary or trustee of any Partner) would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner or other affected Person otherwise agrees in writing) or (b) the Transfer of any Partnership Units or Partnership Interest held by any Person (other than the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner) would constitute a breach or violation of, or default under, the terms of such Debt.
D.Issuance of Securities by the REIT Limited Partner.
(1)Except as provided in Section 4.3.D(2), the REIT Limited Partner shall not issue any additional NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities unless the REIT Limited Partner contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration (including property acquired with such consideration) received in connection therewith to the Partnership in exchange for (a) in the case of an issuance of NAV REIT Common Shares (including upon the exercise of rights contained in Capital Shares or New Securities), Common Units or (b) in the case of an issuance of Capital Shares (including upon the exercise or conversion of Capital Shares or New Securities), corresponding Partnership Equivalent Units. If the cash proceeds in connection with any issuance of additional NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities by the REIT Limited Partner actually received and contributed to the Partnership by the REIT Limited Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance (including, not limited to, underwriter’s discounts, commissions, marketing expenses (including related costs of travel), filing and printing fees and expense reimbursement obligations), then the REIT Limited Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the cash proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such expenses paid by the REIT Limited Partner (which expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4). In the event that the REIT Limited Partner issues any additional NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities and contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration (or property acquired with such proceeds) received from the issuance thereof to the Partnership, the Partnership is expressly authorized to issue a number of Common Units or Partnership Equivalent Units to the REIT Limited Partner equal to the number of NAV REIT Common Shares (divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect), Capital Shares or New Securities so issued, in accordance with this Section 4.3.D without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons. In the event that the REIT Limited
31

Partner issues any additional New Securities that are not Capital Shares and contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance thereof, if any, to the Partnership, the General Partner is expressly authorized (but not required), in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the Partnership issue a number of Partnership Equivalent Securities without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.
(2)Notwithstanding Section 4.3.D(1), the REIT Limited Partner may issue NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities without contributing the cash proceeds or other consideration received in connection therewith to the Partnership if such issuance is (a) pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 15.1.C hereof, (b) to CMCT in exchange for CMCT Common Shares that will be delivered pursuant to Section 15.1.C(3) hereof to a Tendering Party that made an election pursuant to the CMCT Redemption Option, (c) pursuant to a dividend or other distribution (including any share split) of NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be), (d) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Capital Shares as set forth in Section 4.8, (e) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise of New Securities, or (f) in connection with an acquisition of Partnership Units or a property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the REIT Limited Partner.
Section 4.4 Equity Awards and Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating Equity Plans for the benefit of employees, trustees, directors or other business associates of the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates or from issuing NAV REIT Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities thereunder. The General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner may implement such Equity Plans and any actions taken thereunder (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire NAV REIT Common Shares, or the issuance of restricted NAV REIT Common Shares), whether taken with respect to or by an employee or other service provider of the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, in a manner determined by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, which may be set forth in plan implementation guidelines that the General Partner may establish or amend from time to time. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any Equity Plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, or for any other reason as determined by the General Partner, amendments to this Agreement may become necessary or advisable, any approval or Consent to any such amendments requested by the General Partner shall be deemed granted by the Limited Partners. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Units and Partnership Equivalent Securities (i) in accordance with the terms of any such Equity Plans, or (ii) in an amount equal to the number of NAV REIT Common Shares (divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect), Capital Shares or New Securities issued pursuant to any such Equity Plans, without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.
Section 4.5 Warrants. If at any time or from time to time a warrant granted for NAV REIT Common Shares is duly exercised, the REIT Limited Partner shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, contribute to the Partnership an amount in cash equal to the exercise price
32

paid to the REIT Limited Partner by such exercising party in connection with the exercise of such warrant. Notwithstanding the amount of the cash actually contributed to the Partnership pursuant to the preceding sentence, (a) the REIT Limited Partner shall be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution (in lieu of such cash actually contributed) an amount equal to the product of (i) the Value of a NAV REIT Common Share as of the date of exercise multiplied by (ii) the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued upon exercise of such warrant, and (b) in exchange for the foregoing Capital Contribution, the Partnership shall issue to the REIT Limited Partner a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued upon exercise of such warrant divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor in effect on the date of exercise.
Section 4.6 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Deferred Compensation and Similar Plans. All amounts received or deemed received by the REIT Limited Partner in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, deferred compensation plan or similar plan shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the REIT Limited Partner, either be (a) utilized to effect open market purchases of NAV REIT Common Shares to satisfy the obligations of the REIT Limited Partner under such plans, in which case no Common Units will be issued to the REIT Limited Partner in connection therewith, or (b) contributed to the Partnership if the REIT Limited Partner elects to issue new NAV REIT Common Shares to satisfy its obligations under such plans, in which case the Partnership will issue to the REIT Limited Partner a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of new NAV REIT Common Shares so issued divided by (ii) Adjustment Factor then in effect.
Section 4.7 No Interest; No Return. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.
Section 4.8 Conversion or Redemption of Capital Shares.
A.Conversion of Capital Shares. If, at any time, any of the Capital Shares are converted into NAV REIT Common Shares, in whole or in part, then a number of Partnership Equivalent Units equal to the number of Capital Shares so converted shall automatically be converted into a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued upon such conversion divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect such conversion.
B.Redemption or Repurchase of Capital Shares or NAV REIT Common Shares. If, at any time, any Capital Shares are redeemed or otherwise repurchased (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the REIT Limited Partner, the Partnership shall, immediately prior to the time when such redemption or repurchase of Capital Shares is effective, redeem an equal number of Partnership Equivalent Units held by the REIT Limited Partner upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership Equivalent Unit as such Capital Shares are redeemed or repurchased; provided, that, if all or any portion of the price paid for the redemption or repurchase of such Capital Shares is paid in NAV REIT Common
33

Shares, the corresponding portion of the price paid per Partnership Equivalent Unit shall be paid to the REIT Limited Partner by a number of newly issued Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of NAV REIT Common Shares issued upon such redemption or repurchase divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect. If, at any time, any NAV REIT Common Shares are redeemed or otherwise repurchased by the REIT Limited Partner, the Partnership shall, immediately prior to the time such redemption or repurchase of NAV REIT Common Shares is effective, redeem or repurchase a number of Common Units held by the REIT Limited Partner equal to the quotient of (i) the NAV REIT Common Shares so redeemed or otherwise repurchased, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, such redemption or repurchase to be upon the same terms and for the same price per Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the Adjustment Factor) as such NAV REIT Common Shares are redeemed or repurchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.8.B shall not apply in the event that such redemption or repurchase of NAV REIT Common Shares is paired with a share split or share dividend such that after giving effect to such redemption or repurchase and subsequent share split or share dividend there shall be outstanding an equal number of NAV REIT Common Shares as were outstanding prior to the effective date of such redemption or repurchase and subsequent share split or share dividend.
Article 5
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions
. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to distribute such amounts, at such times, as the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine, to the Holders as of any Partnership Record Date. All such distributions shall be made to the Holders of Common Equivalent Units pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Equivalent Units held on such Partnership Record Date.
Distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units that were not outstanding during the entire period in respect of which any distribution is made, other than any Partnership Units issued to the REIT Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of NAV REIT Common Shares by the REIT Limited Partner, shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding.
Section 5.2 Distributions in Kind. Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Holder to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in kind of Partnership assets to the Holders, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 13 hereof; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not make a distribution in kind to any Holder unless the Holder has been given 90 days prior written notice of such distribution.
34

Section 5.3 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 5, to the extent of Available Cash of the Company (if any), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make distributions to each Partner holding Common Equivalent Units (“Tax Distributions”), pro rata in proportion to the Partners’ Percentage Interest with respect to Common Equivalent Units, the Tax Distribution Amount in respect of such Common Equivalent Units. The General Partner may make Tax Distributions in an estimated amount at such times to allow the Partners to make estimated tax payments when due. All Tax Distributions shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement (other than this Section 5.3) as advances against, and shall offset and reduce dollar-for-dollar, (i) current or subsequent distributions under Section 5.1 or Section 13.2, or (ii) any amounts otherwise payable to such Partner by the Partnership or the General Partner in redemption or exchange of such Partner’s Partnership Interests. The General Partner shall adjust, in its reasonable discretion, the Partners’ Tax Distributions (but in any event pro rata in proportion to the Partners’ respective number of Common Equivalent Units) to take into account increases or decreases in the number of Partnership Units held by each Partner during the relevant period.
Section 5.4 Distributions to Reflect Additional Partnership Units. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner is hereby authorized, without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, to make such revisions to this Article 5 and to Articles 6, 11 and 12 hereof as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units, including, without limitation, making preferential distributions to Holders of certain classes of Partnership Units.
Section 5.5 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.
Section 5.6 REIT Distributions. Notwithstanding Sections 5.1 and 5.3, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute such amounts to the REIT Limited Partner as may be necessary in order for the REIT Limited Partner or CMCT to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”).
Article 6
ALLOCATIONS
Section 6.1 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Partnership Year as of the end of each such year, provided, that the General Partner may in its discretion allocate Net Income and Net Loss for a shorter period as of the end of such period (and, for purposes of this Article 6, references to the term “Partnership Year” may include such shorter periods). Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject to Section 11.6.C hereof, an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share
35

of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.
Section 6.2 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, Net Income and Net Loss and to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.3 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Article 13 if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Partnership liabilities (including amounts treated as Partnership liabilities under Code Section 752) were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed in accordance with Article 13 to the Partners immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) and Partnership Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets, provided, however, that the General Partner shall have the authority to adjust the foregoing, including by taking into account expectations regarding the operation of the Partnership for years subsequent to the year in which Net Income and Net Loss are being allocated (e.g., additional amounts that are expected to be required to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.1.A) to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines such adjustments are consistent with the Partner’s interest in the Partnership (within the meaning of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-1(b)(3)(iii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may adjust such allocations as reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Additional Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 6:
A.Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of such net decrease during such year, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
B.Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
36

Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.B is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
C.Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
D.Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.D shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.D were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.D qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
E.Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.E shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.E and Section 6.3.D hereof were not in the Agreement.
F.Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated (x) first, among the other Holders of Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests with respect to Common Units and (y) thereafter, among the Holders of other classes of Partnership Units as determined by the General Partner, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3.F.
37

G.Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
H.Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3.A through G hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
I.Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s respective interest in Partnership profits shall be equal to such Holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to Common Units, except as otherwise determined by the General Partner.
Section 6.4 Tax Allocations.
A.In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for federal, state, and local income tax purposes, each Partnership item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.
B.Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Partnership with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder as to take into account such variation. The Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted
38

basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the General Partner.
C.Effect. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

C.To the extent practicable, Partnership expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Partnership and, subject to Section 15.12 hereof, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or any of their respective Affiliates by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.
Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner and the REIT Limited Partner. Neither the General Partner nor the REIT Limited Partner shall, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with, (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests, (b) with respect to the General Partner, the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership, (c) with respect to the REIT Limited Partner, the operation of the REIT Limited Partner as a private company or a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, (d) with respect to the REIT Limited Partner, its operations as a REIT, (e) with respect to the REIT Limited Partner, the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of NAV REIT Common Shares, NAV REIT Preferred Shares, New Securities, bonds or other interests, (f) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Partnership or its assets or activities, and (g) such activities as are incidental thereto; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, any funds raised by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to the preceding clauses (e) and (f) shall be made available to the Partnership, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, as appropriate; and, provided, further, that the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner may, each in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Partnership so long as the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, as applicable, takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such Property are otherwise vested in the Partnership, whether through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially reasonable to vest such economic interests in the Partnership, the Partners shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement, including, without limitation, the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner and all Disregarded Entities with respect to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, taken as a group, shall not own any assets or take title to assets (other than temporarily in connection with an acquisition prior to contributing such assets to the Partnership) other than (i) interests in Disregarded Entities with respect to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, (ii) Partnership Interests as the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, (iii) a minority interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership that the General Partner holds to maintain
47

such Subsidiary’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, (iv) such cash and cash equivalents, bank accounts or similar instruments or accounts as such group deems reasonably necessary, taking into account Section 7.1.D hereof and the requirements necessary for the REIT Limited Partner to qualify as a REIT, for the General Partner and REIT Limited Partner to carry out their responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Declaration of Trust, as applicable, and (v) cash and cash equivalents or similar instruments and other assets of the Partnership held in bank accounts or similar accounts in the name of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner from executing guarantees of Partnership debt.

Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the REIT Limited Partner, whether pursuant to an Election Notice or otherwise, shall be automatically converted into a REIT Limited Partner Interest comprised of an identical number of Partnership Units with the same terms as the class or series so acquired. Any Affiliate of the General Partner or REIT Limited Partner Affiliate may acquire Limited Partner Interests and shall, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, be entitled to exercise all rights of a Limited Partner relating to such Limited Partner Interests.
Section 7.6 Transactions with Affiliates.
A.The Partnership may lend or contribute funds to, and borrow funds from, Persons in which the Partnership has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from, and lend or contribute funds to, the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.
B.Except as provided in Section 7.5 hereof, the Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

48

E.Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner or an Affiliate thereof shall have the right: (i) to cause the Partnership or one or more of its subsidiaries or other entities in which the Partnership has made an investment to enter into one or more property management agreement, leasing brokerage agreement or development management agreement with an Affiliate of the General Partner in connection with Partnership Investments, pursuant to which such Affiliate will provide services to the Partnership, any subsidiary thereof or any other entity in which the Partnership has made an investment, and any such agreement, provided that (x) any compensation payable thereunder does not exceed the limit set forth on Schedule A hereto (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the related party transaction policy of CMCT and (y) the other terms and conditions of the contract are at least as favorable as the terms generally available in arm’s-length transactions with qualified independent third parties and (ii) to receive the amounts described in Section 7.4 hereof, subject to the limitations set forth therein, without the satisfaction of any other conditions to conflict of interest transactions set forth herein.
Section 7.7 Indemnification.
A.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) if the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, if the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful; or (iii) for any transaction for which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or otherwise, in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; and provided, further, that no payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Partnership to indemnify or advance funds to any Indemnitee (x) with respect to any Action initiated or brought voluntarily by such Indemnitee (and not by way of defense) unless (I) approved or authorized by the General Partner or (II) incurred to establish or enforce such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, and (y) in connection with one or more Actions or claims brought by the Partnership or involving such Indemnitee if such Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership on any portion of any claim in any such Action.
Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty 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 indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of
49

any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 7.7.A that the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Agreement. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any other Holder shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.
B.To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in Section 7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C.The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled as set forth in any agreement, as approved by a vote of the Partners, or as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
D.The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any 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.
E.Any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner or any of their respective Affiliates (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be
50

treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 7.7, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) an act or omission of such Indemnitee that was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful; or (iii) any transaction in which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or otherwise, in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement or applicable law.
F.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Holders to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, and any such indemnification shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership.
G.An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
H.The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or 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.
I.It is the intent of the parties that any amounts paid by the Partnership to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.
J.The Partnership shall indemnify each Limited Partner and its Affiliates, their respective directors, trustees, officers, stockholders and any other individual acting on its or their behalf, from and against any costs (including costs of defense) incurred by it as a result of any litigation or other proceeding in which any Limited Partner is named as a defendant or any claim threatened or asserted against any Limited Partner, in either case which relates to the operations of the Partnership or any obligation assumed by the Partnership, unless such costs are the result of intentional harm or gross negligence on the part of, or a breach of this Agreement by, such Limited Partner; provided, however, that no Partner shall have any personal liability with respect to the foregoing indemnification, any such indemnification to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership.
K.Any obligation or liability whatsoever of the General Partner which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other instrument, transaction, or undertaking contemplated hereby shall be satisfied, if at all, out of the assets of the General Partner or the Partnership only.
51

No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, any of the General Partner’s managers, members, officers, employees, advisors or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner.
A.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its directors or officers shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners, or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the General Partner or such director or officer acted in good faith.
B.The Limited Partners agree that: (i) the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the General Partner’s stockholders collectively; (ii) the General Partner is under no obligation not to give priority to the separate interests of the General Partner or the stockholders of the General Partner, and any action or failure to act on the part of the General Partner or its directors that gives priority to the separate interests of the General Partner or its stockholders that does not result in a violation of the contract rights of the Limited Partners under this Agreement does not violate the duty of loyalty owed by the General Partner to the Partnership and/or its partners; and (iii) the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the Partnership or any Limited Partner in connection with such decisions, except for liability for the General Partner’s intentional harm or gross negligence.
C.Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in the Act and this Agreement, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.
D.Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
E.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by any Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partners, or for the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s obligations hereunder, and the full recourse of the other Partner(s) shall be limited to the interest of that Partner in the Partnership. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except for liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross
52

negligence, or pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property or assets of any Partner, other than its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. This Agreement is executed by the officers of the General Partner solely as officers of the same and not in their own individual capacities.
F.To the extent that, under applicable law, the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.
G.Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision in (i) its “sole and absolute discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest or factors affecting the Partnership or the Partners or any of them, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise. If any question should arise with respect to the operation of the Partnership, which is not otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or the Act, or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make a final determination with respect to any such question and to interpret this Agreement in such a manner as it shall deem, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be fair and equitable, and its determination and interpretations so made shall be final and binding on all parties. The General Partner’s “sole and absolute discretion” and “discretion” under this Agreement shall be exercised consistently with the duty of care and the obligation of good faith and fair dealing under the Act (as modified by the Agreement).
H.To the maximum extent permitted under the Act, the only duties that the General Partner owes to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person (including any creditor of any Partner or assignee of any Partnership Interest), fiduciary or otherwise, are to perform its contractual obligations as expressly set forth in this Agreement consistently with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and to act with the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty which have been, in accordance with the Act, modified as set forth in this Section 7.8. The General Partner, in its capacity as such, shall have no other duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person (including any creditor of any Partner or any assignee of Partnership Interest). The provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 7.8 shall create contractual obligations of the General Partner only, and no such provision shall be interpreted to expand or modify the fiduciary duties of the General Partner under the Act. The provisions of this Section 7.8, to the extent that they restrict or modify the duties and liabilities of the General Partner under the Act or otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such General Partner. The General Partner is entitled to a presumption that any act or failure to act on the part of the General Partner, and
53

any decision or determination made by the General Partner, is presumed to satisfy the duties of the General Partner under the Act, modified as set forth in this Section 7.8, and no act or failure to act on the part of the General Partner, or decision or determination made by the General Partner (whether with respect to a change of control of the Partnership or otherwise) shall be subject to any duty, standard of conduct, burden of proof or scrutiny, whether at law or in equity, other than as set forth in this Section 7.8.
Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.
A.The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
B.The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
C.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 or agents and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact (including, without limitation, officers and directors of the General Partner). Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.
D.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of CMCT or the REIT Limited Partner to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for CMCT or the REIT Limited Partner otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements, (iii) for CMCT or the REIT Limited Partner to avoid incurring any taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, or (iv) for any REIT Limited Partner Affiliate or any Affiliate of CMCT to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)) or “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(l)), is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners and does not violate the duty of loyalty or any other duty or obligation, fiduciary or otherwise, of the General Partner to the Partnership or any other Partner.
Section 7.10 Title to Partnership Assets. Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively with other Partners or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof.
54

Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner shall be held by the General Partner, the REIT Limited Partner or such nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.
Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Partner, or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.
Section 7.12 Rights and Obligations of the General Partner. Terms capitalized and not otherwise defined in this Section 7.12 are defined as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CIM Urban Partners, L.P., dated as of December 22, 2005, by and between CIM Urban Partners GP, Inc. and CIM Urban REIT, LLC (as such agreement was further amended).
A.The General Partner shall have the power on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership to engage an Affiliate of the General Partner as the Investment Manager for the Partnership (it being understood and agreed that the prior General Partner has executed and delivered the Investment Management Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2015, by and between the Partnership and CIM Investment Advisors, LLC as the Investment Manager, which agreement was assigned pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2019, by and among CIM Capital, LLC, CIM Capital Controlled Company Management, LLC, CIM
55

Capital RE Debt Management, LLC, CIM Capital Real Property Management, LLC and CIM Capital Securities Management, LLC) (together, the “Investment Management Agreement”).
B.Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement but subject to the applicability of the Fee Waiver, the Partnership shall pay to the Investment Manager an annual investment management fee (the “Investment Management Fee”) for the services rendered by the Investment Manager in managing the assets of the Partnership. The Investment Management Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) following the close of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Each quarterly installment of the Investment Management Fee shall be an amount equal to (i) if the daily average Adjusted Fair Value of the Partnership Investments during such quarter is less than or equal to $500 million, 0.25% of such daily average Adjusted Fair Value, (ii) if the daily average Adjusted Fair Value of the Partnership Investments during such quarter is greater than $500 million but less than or equal to $1 billion, the sum of $1.25 million plus 0.2375% of such daily average Adjusted Fair Value in excess of $500 million, (iii) if the daily average Adjusted Fair Value of the Partnership Investments during such quarter is greater than $1 billion but less than or equal to $1.5 billion, the sum of $2.4375 million plus 0.225% of such daily average Adjusted Fair Value in excess of $1 billion, (iv) if the daily average Adjusted Fair Value of the Partnership Investments during such quarter is greater than $1.5 billion but less than or equal to $4.0 billion, the sum of $3.5625 million plus 0.2125% of such daily average Adjusted Fair Value in excess of $1.5 billion and (v) if the daily average Adjusted Fair Value of the Partnership Investments during such quarter is greater than $4.0 billion, the sum of $8.875 million plus 0.100% of such daily average Adjusted Fair Value in excess of $4.0 billion; provided, however, that (I) if any Permitted Investment (but specifically excluding (x) any property level reserves with respect to Qualified Investments that have been included by the applicable Expert(s) as part of the Adjusted Fair Value of any such Qualified Investment and (y) any receipts representing Distributable Proceeds) has been held by the Partnership as a Permitted Investment for six (6) months or more (determined on a first-in-first-out basis) then the portion thereof on any day thereafter that exceeds one percent (1%) of the aggregate Adjusted Fair Value of all of the Partnership Investments on such day shall be excluded from the calculation of the Adjusted Fair Value on that day used to determine the daily average Adjusted Fair Value for purposes of clauses (i) through (v) of this sentence; and (II) for the avoidance of doubt, any property level reserves with respect to Qualified Investments that have been included by the applicable Expert(s) as part of the Adjusted Fair Value of any such Qualified Investment shall not also be separately valued as stand-alone Permitted Investments (i.e., so as to ensure that there is no double counting of such reserves for purposes of calculating the aggregate Adjusted Fair Value of all of Partnership Investments and the Investment Management Fee). Installments of the Investment Management Fee for any period of less than a full three months shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such period.
C.The Partnership’s individual representatives on any board of directors of any entity related to a Partnership Investment shall not be entitled to retain any directors’ fees or similar compensation received by such Persons from such entity as consideration for their service on such board of directors or other governing body. All such Directors’ Fees shall be paid to the Partnership.

The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, member, employee, partner, agent, representative, or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

Such notice to the Limited Partner shall be treated as if it were a Common Unit Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership by such Limited Partner, and the REIT Limited Partner shall be entitled to deliver an Election Notice in accordance with Section 15.1.C in connection therewith.

The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners for federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Limited Partners shall promptly provide the General Partner with such information relating to the Contributed Properties as is readily available to the Limited Partners, including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner from time to time.
Section 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, including, but not limited to, the election under Code Section 754, and any
59

The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, any election under Code Section 754 or any applicable state or local tax law) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners.
Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner; Partner Representative.
A.The General Partner shall have the right to designate, revoke and replace the partnership representative of the Partnership (the “Partnership Representative”) within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. If the Person designated by the General Partner to serve as the Partnership Representative (which may be the General Partner itself) is not an individual, the General Partner shall also appoint an individual (the “Designated Individual”) in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1. The General Partner shall make all designations and appointments under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code and Regulations (and, as applicable, analogous state, local and non-U.S. laws) for the Partnership Representative. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Partnership Representative in connection with any applicable proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Partnership Representative, and the provisions relating to indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual, if any, acting as such.
B.Each Partner agrees that such Partner shall not treat any Partnership-related item inconsistently on such Partner’s federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax return with the treatment of the item on the Partnership’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Partner with respect to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code) will be paid by such Partner. If any imputed underpayment (including associated interest, penalties, or additions to tax) is required to be paid (and actually is paid) by the Partnership pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code or any similar provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. law with respect to any item of income, deduction, loss, or credit and is allocable to a Partner or former Partner, such Partner or former Partner (and, in the case of a former Partner, its transferee) shall promptly reimburse the Partnership therefor. To the extent that the Partnership or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, does not make an election under Sections 6221(b) or 6226 of the Code, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make any modifications available under Section 6225(c) of the Code, and (ii) if requested by a Partner, provide to such Partner information allowing such Partner to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent such amended return and payment of any related federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by Partnership; similar principles shall apply under state, local and non-U.S. laws. Each Limited Partner shall, including any time after such Limited Partner withdraws from or otherwise ceases to be a Limited Partner, take all actions requested by the General Partner, including timely provision of requested information and consents in connection with implementing any elections
60

or decisions made by the Partnership or the Partnership Representative (or Person acting in a similar capacity under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws) related to any tax audit or examination of the Partnership (including to implement any modifications to any imputed underpayment or similar amount under Section 6225(c) of the Code, any elections under Sections 6221 or 6226 of the Code and any administrative adjustment request under Section 6227 of the Code); provided, that no Partner shall be required to amend or re-file any tax return. In the event that the Partnership or its Partners that are Partners for an “adjustment year” (within the meaning of Section 6226 of the Code) receive the benefit of a taxpayer-favorable audit adjustment for a different “reviewed year” (within the meaning of Section 6226 of the Code), the General Partner in its discretion may cause such taxpayer-favorable audit adjustment to inure to the benefit of the Partners of the Partnership for such reviewed year, including, but not limited to, by adjusting distributions or causing payments among and between Partners and other Partners (in each case, including former Partners).
C.Each Partner agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.3 at all times, including any time after such Partner ceases to be a Partner solely with respect to matters directly related to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, and the provisions of Section 7.8 shall survive the winding up, liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.
Section 10.4 Withholding. 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 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 Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount withheld with respect to a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be treated as paid or distributed, as applicable, to such Limited Partner for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner, in excess of any such withheld amount, shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within thirty (30) days after the affected Limited Partner receives written notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made; provided, that the Limited Partner shall not be required to repay such deemed loan if either (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution that 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 Cash of the Partnership that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the Prime Rate as of the date such amount is due (i.e., thirty (30) days after the Limited Partner receives written notice of such amount), from and including the date such amount is due until such amount is paid in full.
Section 10.5 Consent to Electronic Delivery. By executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement or a joinder to this Agreement, each Limited Partner (i) consents to electronic delivery of any Schedule K-1 from the Partnership, (ii) acknowledges that a computer or other electronic device with internet access, a printer able to print items from the foregoing, an e-mail account and Adobe Acrobat Reader (or an alternative pdf reader software) will be required to
61

access, print and retain copies of any Schedule K-1 received electronically and (iii) acknowledges that any Schedule K-1 received from the Partnership may be required to be printed and attached to a U.S. federal, state and/or local income tax return.

A.Neither the General Partner nor the REIT Limited Partner shall Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interests without the Consent of the Limited Partners, other than as provided by Sections 11.2.B and 11.2.C. It is a condition to any Transfer of a Partnership Interest of a General Partner or REIT Limited Partner otherwise permitted hereunder (including any Transfer permitted pursuant to Section 11.2.B or 11.2.C) that: (i) coincident with such Transfer, the transferee is admitted as a General Partner pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof or a REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof ; (ii) the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner or REIT Limited Partner, as applicable, under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest; and (iii) the transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the

(1)in connection with such Termination Transaction, all of the Common Limited Partners (other than the REIT Limited Partner) will receive, or have the right to elect to receive, for each Common Unit an amount of cash, securities and/or other property equal to the product of (x) the Adjustment Factor and (y) the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property payable in consideration for one NAV REIT Common Share in such Termination Transaction by default (assuming no affirmative election to receive alternative consideration is made by the holder of such NAV REIT Common Share); provided, that if, in connection with such Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares, each holder of Common Units (other than the REIT Limited Partner) shall receive, or have the right to elect to receive, an aggregate amount of cash, securities or other property in exchange for its Common Units equal to the amount of cash, securities or other property such Person would have received by default (assuming no affirmative election to receive alternative consideration was made by such holder) if (w) such Person had exercised its Redemption Right and received NAV REIT Common Shares in exchange for all of its Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer in accordance with Section 15.1.C, (x) such Person had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer in respect of all of its NAV REIT Common Shares so redeemed and (y) such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or
(2)all of the following conditions are met: (w) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (x) the Common Limited Partners that held Common Units immediately prior to such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the
63

consummation of such transaction; (y) the rights, preferences and privileges of Common Limited Partners in the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable in all material respects as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership (other than the holders of any preferred units therein); and (z) the rights of the Common Limited Partners include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Section 11.2.B(1) or (b) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for cash on terms substantially equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the NAV REIT Common Shares.
C.Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), the General Partner may Transfer all of its Partnership Interests at any time to the REIT Limited Partner or any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, an Affiliate of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner without the Consent of any Limited Partners. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), the REIT Limited Partner may Transfer all of its Partnership Interests at any time to the General Partner or any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, an Affiliate of the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner without the Consent of any Limited Partners. The provisions of Section 11.2.B, 11.3, 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not apply to any Transfer permitted by this Section 11.2.C.
D.The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a general partner of the Partnership without the Consent of the Limited Partners, except in connection with a Transfer of the General Partner’s entire Partnership Interest permitted in this Article 11 or in connection with a Termination Transaction and, in each case, upon the admission of the transferee as a successor General Partner of the Partnership pursuant to the Act and this Agreement.
Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer.
A.General. Prior to the end of the Initial Holding Period and except as provided in Section 11.1C hereof, no Limited Partner (other than the REIT Limited Partner) shall Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the Consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that any Limited Partner (other than the REIT Limited Partner) may, at any time, without the Consent of the General Partner, (i) Transfer all or part of its Partnership Interest to any Family Member (including a Transfer by a Family Member that is an inter vivos or testamentary trust (whether revocable or irrevocable) to a Family Member that is a beneficiary of such trust) or any Controlled Entity or (ii) pledge all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a lending institution that is not an Affiliate of such Limited Partner as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and, except as provided in Section 11.1.C, Transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of
64

remedies under such loan or extension of credit (any Transfer or pledge permitted by this proviso is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”). It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is a Permitted Transfer) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor entity by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all restrictions on ownership or transfer of stock of CMCT or shares of the REIT Limited Partner contained in the Charter or Declaration of Trust, as applicable, that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.
B.Incapacity. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.
C.Adverse Tax Consequences. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent the Partnership from being taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with the Consent of the General Partner, no Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interests (including any redemption, any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner or any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) may be made to or by any Person if such Transfer could (i) result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation, (ii) be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, (iii) result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for one or more of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”) or could cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant Section 7704 of the Code or successor provisions of the Code (as determined by the General Partner) or (iv) based on the advice of counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, adversely affect the ability of the General
65

Partner to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981.
D.Restrictions Not Applicable to Redemptions or Conversions. The provisions of this Section 11.3 (other than Section 11.3.C) shall not apply to the redemption of Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1 or the redemption or conversion of any other Partnership Units pursuant to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation.
Section 11.4 Admission of Substituted Limited Partners.
A.No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Limited Partner in its place. A transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner may be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner only with the Consent of the General Partner. The failure or refusal by the General Partner to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or the General Partner. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner until and unless it furnishes to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the General Partner may require, in its sole and absolute discretion, to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner. The admission of a Substituted Limited Partner shall be effective only upon the countersignature by the General Partner of the signature page delivered by such Assignee pursuant to clause (ii).
B.Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall update the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and class and/or series of Partnership Units of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Partnership Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.
C.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.
Section 11.5 Assignees. If the General Partner does not Consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, or in the event that any Partnership Interest is deemed to have been Transferred notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Article 11, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interest assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Partnership Interest provided in this Article 11, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Interest for any other purpose
66

under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 15.1 hereof), and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Partnership Interest on any matter presented to the Partners for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further Transfer of any such Partnership Interest, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make a Transfer of a Limited Partner Interest.
Section 11.6 General Provisions.
A.No Limited Partner (other than the REIT Limited Partner) may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of (i) a permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article 11, with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the REIT Limited Partner) of all of its Partnership Interest pursuant to a redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) an acquisition by the REIT Limited Partner of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof.
B.Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to Sections 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) to the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof, shall cease to be a Limited Partner.
C.If any Partnership Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or is redeemed by the Partnership, or acquired by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Partnership Unit for such Partnership Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a redemption, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, unless the General Partner decides to use another method permitted under the Code, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner and none of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be), if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other
67

than a redemption, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.
D.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including any redemption, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner or the REIT Limited Partner or any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made: (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) except with the Consent of the General Partner, 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) in the event that such Transfer could cause either the REIT Limited Partner or CMCT to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements; (v) if such Transfer could, based on the advice of legal counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to be classified as other than a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption (or acquisition by the General Partner) of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c)); (vii) if such Transfer could, based on the advice of counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (viii) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) if such Transfer causes the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or (x) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended.
E.Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise Consents.
Article 12
ADMISSION OF PARTNERS
Section 12.1 Admission of Successor General Partner. A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately upon such Transfer. Any such successor shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission. Upon any such Transfer, the transferee shall become the successor General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner. Upon any such Transfer and the admission of any such transferee as a
68

successor General Partner, the transferor shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and shall cease to be a general partner of the Partnership without the separate Consent of the Limited Partners or the consent or approval of any other Partners. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of such a successor General Partner, the General Partner shall update the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and class and/or series of Partnership Units of such successor General Partner. In the event that the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, or transfers its entire Partnership Interest, in violation of this Agreement, or otherwise dissolves or terminates or ceases to be the general partner of the Partnership, a Majority in Interest of the Partners may elect to continue the Partnership by selecting a successor general partner in accordance with Section 13.1.A hereof.
Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners.
A.A Person (other than an existing Partner) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Units and in accordance with this Agreement or is issued Compensatory Units in exchange for no consideration in accordance with Section 4.2.B hereof shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance 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 2.4 hereof, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Person, (iii) if such Person is not a natural person, the questionnaire set forth as Exhibit C completed by such Person, the responses of which may require such Person to provide additional information as requested by the General Partner, and (iv) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional Limited Partner, the General Partner shall update the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and classes and/or series of Partnership Units of such Additional Limited Partner.
B.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the Consent of the General Partner. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the Consent of the General Partner to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.A.
C.If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Holders by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner
69

occurs shall be allocated among all the Holders including such Additional Limited Partner, in accordance with the principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.
D.Any Additional Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership that is an Affiliate of the REIT Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a “REIT Limited Partner Affiliate” hereunder and shall be reflected as such on the Register and the books and records of the Partnership.
Section 12.3 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to update the Register, amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.
Section 12.4 Limit on Number of Partners. Unless otherwise permitted by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners that would cause the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.
Section 12.5 Admission. A Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a limited partner of the Partnership or a general partner of the Partnership only upon strict compliance, and not upon substantial compliance, with the requirements set forth in this Agreement for admission to the Partnership as a Limited Partner or a General Partner.
Article 13
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
Section 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. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall continue the business and affairs of the Partnership without dissolution. However, the Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):
A.an event of withdrawal as defined in Section 10-402(2) – (9) of the Act (including, without limitation, bankruptcy), or the withdrawal in violation of this Agreement, of the last remaining General Partner unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, a Majority in Interest of the Partners remaining agree in writing, in their sole and absolute discretion, to continue the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such withdrawal, of a successor General Partner;
70

B.an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner with Consent of the Limited Partners;
C.entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act; or
D.the redemption or other acquisition by the Partnership or the General Partner of all Partnership Units other than Partnership Units held by the General Partner.
Section 13.2 Winding Up.
A.Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and the Holders. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Holder shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event that there is no remaining General Partner or the General Partner has dissolved, become bankrupt within the meaning of the Act or ceased to operate, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Partners (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property, and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(1)First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);
(2)Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including, but not limited to, amounts due as reimbursements under Section 7.4 hereof;
(3)Third, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the other Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
(4)Fourth, to the Partners in accordance with Section 5.1.
The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13, other than reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 7.4.
B.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or
71

upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
C.If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), except as otherwise agreed to by such Holder, such Holder 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.
D.In the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holders pursuant to this Article 13 may be:
(1)distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or
(2)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 Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2.A hereof as soon as practicable.
E.The provisions of Section 7.8 hereof shall apply to any Liquidator appointed pursuant to this Article 13 as though the Liquidator were the General Partner of the Partnership.
Section 13.3 Deemed Contribution and Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event that the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the
72

Partnership’s Property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal income tax purposes the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and immediately thereafter, distributed Partnership Units to the Partners in the new partnership in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the Partnership, and the new partnership is deemed to continue the business of the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be deemed to have constituted a Transfer to an Assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner without compliance with the provisions of Section 11.4 or Section 13.3 hereof.
Section 13.4 Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
Section 13.5 Notice of Dissolution. In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner or Liquidator shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each Holder and, in the General Partner’s or Liquidator’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner or Liquidator), and the General Partner or Liquidator may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner or Liquidator).
Section 13.6 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed with the SDAT, all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership or association in jurisdictions other than the State of Maryland shall be cancelled, and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.
Section 13.7 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 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Partners during the period of liquidation; provided, however, reasonable efforts shall be made to complete such winding-up within twenty-four (24) months after the adoption of a plan of liquidation of the General Partner, as provided in Section 562(b)(1)(B) of the Code, if necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.

Article 14
PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS
OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS
Section 14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Partners. The actions requiring Consent of any Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14.
Section 14.2 Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner and, except as set forth in Section 7.3.C and subject to Section 7.3.D and the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, shall be approved by the Consent of the Partners. Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit to the Partners entitled to vote thereon any proposed amendment that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, requires the consent, approval or vote of such Partners. The General Partner shall seek the consent, approval or vote of the Partners entitled to vote thereon on any such proposed amendment in accordance with Section 14.3 hereof. Upon obtaining any such Consent, or any other Consent required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including any Limited Partner, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the General Partner, and (ii) the Limited Partners shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the Consent of the General Partner.
Section 14.3 Meetings of the Partners.
A.Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the General Partner to transact any business that the General Partner determines. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners entitled to act at the meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Partners is required by this Agreement, the affirmative vote of Partners holding a majority of the Percentage Interests held by the Partners entitled to act on any proposal, voting together as a single class, shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Partners. Whenever the vote, consent or approval of Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of Partners or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B hereof.
B.Any action requiring the Consent of any Partner or group of Partners pursuant to this Agreement or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Partners whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting of the Partners. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Partners at a meeting of the Partners. Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic
74

transmission, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than ten (10) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.
C.Each Partner entitled to act at a meeting of the Partners may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it 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. Each proxy must be signed by the Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.
D.The General Partner may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining the Partners (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Partners or (iii) in order to make a determination of Partners for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Partners, not less than five (5) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held or Consent is to be given. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Partners shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the record date for any other determination of Partners shall be the effective date of such Partner action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of the Partners has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
E.Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the General Partner’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the General Partner’s stockholders.
Article 15
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 15.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties.
A.After the expiration of the applicable Initial Holding Period, a Qualifying Party shall have the right from time to time (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units held by a Qualifying Party (Common Units tendered for Redemption, “Tendered Common
75

Units”) in exchange for cash from the Partnership as described in this Section 15.1 (a “Redemption”), subject to the right of the REIT Limited Partner to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units under Section 15.1.C pursuant to an Election Notice. A Qualifying Party may exercise the Redemption Right (a “Tendering Party”) by delivering to the General Partner a Common Unit Notice of Redemption; provided, however, without the written consent of the General Partner, no Common Unit Notice of Redemption may seek the Redemption of less than one thousand (1,000) Common Units (or, if a Tendering Party holds (as a Common Limited Partner or, economically, as an Assignee) less than one thousand (1,000) Common Units, all of the Common Units held by such Tendering Party). The Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, redeem Tendered Common Units at the request of the Qualifying Party prior to the end of the applicable Initial Holding Period (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the expiration of the applicable Specified Redemption Date)) (a “Special Redemption”); provided, however, that the General Partner first receives a legal opinion to the same effect as the legal opinion described in Section 15.1.E(4) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the receipt of a Common Unit Notice of Redemption, the Partnership’s obligation to effect a Redemption shall not arise or be binding against the Partnership until the earlier of (a) the date the REIT Limited Partner notifies the Tendering Party that it declines to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units under Section 15.1.C hereof and (b) the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date.
B.In the event the REIT Limited Partner fails to timely deliver an Election Notice or the Applicable Percentage is less than 100% with respect to a Redemption, the Partnership shall pay to the Tendering Party on or before the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash (or, in the REIT Limited Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, in immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) 100% minus the Applicable Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Cash Amount; provided, however, that the General Partner, upon written notice to the Tendering Party, may delay the Specified Redemption Date for up to an additional 90 Business Days in the event the Partnership has a bona fide intention to generate all or part of such cash (a) by the REIT Limited Partner’s issuance of NAV REIT Common Shares (including, without limitation, to CMCT in exchange for the proceeds of an offering of securities of CMCT) and contribution of all or a portion of the proceeds therefrom to the Partnership in exchange for additional REIT Limited Partner Interests, (b) by incurring additional Debt and/or (c) by selling any Property. In no event shall any interest be due or payable with respect to, or otherwise accrue on, any amount payable under this Section 15.1.B.
C.Election Notice
(1)Notwithstanding the Redemption Right, on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, the REIT Limited Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion but subject to the applicable Ownership Limit (so long as the applicable Ownership Limit is in effect), elect to acquire any or all of the Tendered Common Units from the Tendering Party (the percentage of Tendered Common Units so elected to be acquired, the “Applicable Percentage”) in exchange for NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Tendering Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date (an “Election Notice”).
76

(2)If the REIT Limited Partner timely delivers an Election Notice to a Tendering Party that elected the NAV REIT Redemption Option, then (a) the REIT Limited Partner shall issue to the Tendering Party, prior to the Cut-Off Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, a number of NAV REIT Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the NAV REIT Common Shares Amount multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage, (b) the NAV REIT Common Shares issued to the Tendering Party (i) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit and, to the extent applicable, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (ii) may contain legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the REIT Limited Partner in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws, (c) the transfer of NAV REIT Common Shares to the Tendering Party under this Section 15.1.C shall be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a transfer by the Tendering Party to the REIT Limited Partner of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units in exchange for the NAV REIT Common Shares Amount, and (d) the Tendering Party shall not have any right to cause the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units and the obligation of the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units shall not accrue or arise.
(3)If the REIT Limited Partner timely delivers an Election Notice to a Tendering Party that elected the CMCT Redemption Option, then (a) the REIT Limited Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Party, prior to the Cut-Off Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, a number of CMCT Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the CMCT Common Shares Amount multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage, (b) the CMCT Common Shares issued to the Tendering Party (i) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than any restrictions on ownership and transfer under the Charter and, to the extent applicable, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (ii) may contain legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as CMCT in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws, (c) the transfer of CMCT Common Shares to the Tendering Party under this Section 15.1.C shall be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a transfer by the Tendering Party to the REIT Limited Partner of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units in exchange for the CMCT Common Shares Amount, and (d) the Tendering Party shall not have any right to cause the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units and the obligation of the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Common Units shall not accrue or arise.
(4)Any transfer of NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares to a Tendering Party under this Section 15.1.C shall be conditioned upon the Tendering Party submitting to the REIT Limited Partner such certifications, affidavits, representations, investment letters, legal opinions and other instruments and information as the REIT Limited Partner may reasonably request in order to confirm, to the
77

reasonable satisfaction of the REIT Limited Partner, that such transfer will not violate the applicable Ownership Limit or any applicable federal or state securities laws. No Tendering Party, Partner, Assignee or other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause the REIT Limited Partner or CMCT to register, qualify or list any NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 15.1.C, with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between the REIT Limited Partner or CMCT and any such Person.
D.Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.1 to the contrary:
(1)The Tendering Parties shall have no rights under this Agreement that would otherwise be prohibited by the applicable Ownership Limit. To the extent that any attempted Redemption or acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof would be in violation of this Section 15.1.D(1), it shall be null and void ab initio, and the Tendering Party shall not acquire any rights or economic interests in NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable by the REIT Limited Partner under Section 15.1.C hereof or cash otherwise payable under Section 15.1.B hereof.
(2)All Tendered Common Units acquired by the REIT Limited Partner shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be a REIT Limited Partner Interest comprised of the same number of Common Units.
(3)If the REIT Limited Partner acquires Tendered Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1.C following a Partnership Record Date, but before the record date established by the REIT Limited Partner for a distribution to its shareholders of some or all of its portion of the distribution to which such Partnership Record Date relates, then the Tendering Party shall pay to the REIT Limited Partner on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Partnership distribution in respect of the Tendered Common Units exchanged for NAV REIT Common Shares.
(4)The consummation of any Redemption or an acquisition of Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof shall be subject to the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.
(5)The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof) all Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Common Limited Partner or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Common Units are either paid for by the Partnership pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof or transferred to the REIT Limited Partner and paid for, by the issuance of the NAV REIT
78

Common Shares or delivery of CMCT Common Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a shareholder of the REIT Limited Partner or a stockholder of CMCT with respect to the NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares issuable in connection with such acquisition.
(6)If the Tendering Party elects the NAV REIT Redemption Option, all references in this Section 15.1 to “Common Shares” shall mean the “NAV REIT Common Shares.” If the Tendering Party elects the CMCT Redemption Option, all references in this Section 15.1 to “Common Shares” shall mean the “CMCT Common Shares.”
(7)If the Tendering Party makes a Contingent Redemption Election in the Common Unit Notice of Redemption and the REIT Limited Partner delivers a timely Election Notice, the total number of Tendered Common Units will be automatically reduced so that the number of NAV REIT Common Shares received by the Tendering Party pursuant to this Section 15.1 shall be equal to the number of NAV REIT Common Shares that will be repurchased from the Tendering Party on the Specified Redemption Date pursuant to the NAV REIT Common Shares Repurchase Program. A Tendering Party may only make a Contingent Redemption Election if such Tendering Party elects the NAV REIT Redemption Option.
E.In connection with an exercise of the Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 15.1, except as otherwise agreed by the REIT Limited Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Tendering Party shall submit the following to the REIT Limited Partner, in addition to the Common Unit Notice of Redemption:
(1)A written affidavit, dated the same date as the Common Unit Notice of Redemption, (a) disclosing the actual and constructive ownership, as determined for purposes of Code Sections 856(a)(6) and 856(h), of Common Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) to the best of their knowledge any Related Party and (b) representing that, after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party will own Common Shares in violation of the applicable Ownership Limit;
(2)A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional NAV REIT Common Shares or CMCT Common Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof on the Specified Redemption Date; and
(3)An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of (i) the Redemption or (ii) the acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited
79

Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof on the Specified Redemption Date, that either (a) the actual and constructive ownership of Common Shares by the Tendering Party and to the best of their knowledge any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed in the affidavit required by Section 15.1.E(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.C hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party shall own Common Shares in violation of the applicable Ownership Limit.
(4)In connection with any Special Redemption, the REIT Limited Partner shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Partnership, the REIT Limited Partner or CMCT to violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Special Redemption, the sale of the Tendered Common Units to the Tendering Party or the issuance and sale of Common Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to Section 15.1.C of this Agreement.
Section 15.2 Addresses and Notice. Any notice, demand, request or report required or permitted to be given or made to a Partner or Assignee under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other means of written or electronic communication (including by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or commercial courier service) to the Partner or Assignee at the address set forth in the Register or such other address of which the Partner shall notify the General Partner in accordance with this Section 15.2.
Section 15.3 Titles and Captions. All article or section titles or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only. They shall not be deemed part of this Agreement and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof. Except as specifically provided otherwise, references to “Articles” or “Sections” are to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the General Partner, without the approval of any Limited Partner, may enter into side letters or similar written agreements with Limited Partners, executed contemporaneously with the admission of such Limited Partner to the Partnership, affecting the terms hereof, as negotiated with such Limited Partner and which the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems necessary, desirable or appropriate. The parties hereto agree that any terms, conditions or provisions contained in such side letters or similar written agreements with a Limited Partner shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 15.11 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.
Section 15.12 Limitation to Preserve REIT Status. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, to the extent that the amount to be paid, credited, distributed or reimbursed by the Partnership to any REIT Partner or its officers, directors, employees or agents, whether as a reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment”), would constitute gross income to the REIT Partner for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or Code Section 856(c)(3), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the General Partner in its discretion from among items of potential distribution, reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any Partnership Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, for or with respect to such REIT Partner shall not exceed the lesser of:
A.an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Code) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(2)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Code); or
B.an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-four percent (24%) of the REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Code) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code
82

Section 856(c)(3) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Code); provided, however, that REIT Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be made if the General Partner, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts should not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Partnership Year as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.12, such REIT Payments shall carry over and shall be treated as arising in the following Partnership Year if such carry over does not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT, provided, however, that any such REIT Payment shall not be carried over more than three Partnership Years, and any such remaining payments shall no longer be due and payable. The purpose of the limitations contained in this Section 15.12 is to prevent any REIT Partner from failing to qualify as a REIT under the Code by reason of such REIT Partner’s share of items, including distributions, reimbursements, fees, expenses or indemnities, receivable directly or indirectly from the Partnership, and this Section 15.12 shall be interpreted and applied to effectuate such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 15.12 shall not apply for the taxable year ending December 31, 2024, and for any subsequent taxable year unless and until the REIT Limited Partner elects to attempt to qualify as a REIT.
Section 15.13 No Partition. No Partner nor any successor-in-interest to a Partner shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Partnership partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Partnership partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Partners that the rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Partnership property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of the Partners and their respective successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.
Section 15.14 No Third-Party Rights Created Hereby. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the interests of the Holders, inter se; and no other person, firm or entity (i.e., a party who is not a signatory hereto or a permitted successor to such signatory hereto including, without limitation, a creditor of the Partnership or any Partner or other third party having dealings with the Partnership) shall have any right, power, title or interest by way of subrogation or otherwise, in and to the rights, powers, title and provisions of this Agreement. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership (other than as expressly provided herein with respect to Indemnitees) shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may any such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or any of the Partners.
83

Section 15.15 No Rights as Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders of Partnership Units any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the REIT Limited Partner or stockholders of CMCT, including without limitation any right to receive dividends or other distributions made to shareholders of the REIT Limited Partner or stockholders of CMCT or to vote or to consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of stockholders or shareholders for the election of trustees of the REIT Limited Partner or directors of CMCT or any other matter.
Section 15.16 Interpretation. In this Agreement, unless there is a clear contrary intention: (i) when a reference is made to a section, an annex or a schedule, that reference is to a section, an annex or a schedule of or to this Agreement; (ii) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (iii) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means that agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) reference to any statute, rule, regulation or other law means that statute, rule, regulation or law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and reference to any section or other provision of any law means that section or provision from time to time in effect and constituting the substantive amendment, modification, codification, replacement or reenactment of that section or provision; (v) “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and words of similar import shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section or other provision of this Agreement; (vi) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term; (vii) references to agreements, documents or instruments shall be deemed to refer as well to all addenda, exhibits, schedules or amendments thereto; and (viii) the terms “writing,” “written” and words of similar import shall be deemed to include communications and documents in e-mail, fax or any other similar electronic or documentary form.

EXHIBIT A
EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on ________ is 1.0 and (b) on _______ (the “Partnership Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 NAV REIT Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Example 1
On the Partnership Record Date, the REIT Limited Partner declares a dividend on its outstanding NAV REIT Common Shares in NAV REIT Common Shares. The amount of the dividend is one NAV REIT Common Share paid in respect of each NAV REIT Common Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (i) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows:
1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.
Example 2
On the Partnership Record Date, the REIT Limited Partner distributes options to purchase NAV REIT Common Shares to all holders of NAV REIT Common Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one NAV REIT Common Share in respect of each NAV REIT Common Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value of a NAV REIT Common Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:
1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + 100 * $4.00/$5.00) = 1.1111
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.
Example 3
On the Partnership Record Date, the REIT Limited Partner distributes assets to all holders of NAV REIT Common Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by the REIT Limited Partner) of $1.00 in respect of each NAV REIT Common Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by the REIT Limited Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership. The Value of a NAV REIT Common Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to

Paragraph (iii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows:
1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 - $1.00) = 1.25
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.
