The Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement and may be amended as provided in Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(a)).

Section 2.03 Procedures, Amendments

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to the Applicable Partner an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (x) deliver to the Applicable Partner schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow the Applicable Partner reasonable access during normal business hours at no cost to the appropriate representatives of the Corporation and its Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment thereto or within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, the Applicable Partner provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice (i) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to an Exchange Basis Schedule, or (ii) within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to a Tax Benefit Schedule, after such Schedule was delivered to the Applicable Partner, the Corporation and the Applicable Partner shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.01 Payments

(a) Within fifteen (15) calendar days of a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to an Applicable Partner becoming final in accordance with Section 2.03(a), or earlier in the Corporation’s discretion, the Corporation shall pay to the Applicable Partner for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b) in the amount Attributable to the Applicable Partner. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Partner previously designated by such Applicable Partner to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal income tax payments.

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The “Net Tax Benefit” for each Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.01, excluding payments attributable to the Interest Amount; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, no Applicable Partner shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount” for a given Taxable Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable Year until the Payment Date. In the case of a Tax Benefit Payment made in respect of an Amended Schedule, the “Interest Amount” shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the date of such Amended Schedule becoming final in accordance with Section 2.03(a) until the Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments paid with respect to Class A Units that were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated by using Valuation Assumptions (1), (3), and (4), substituting in each case the terms “the date on which a Change of Control becomes effective” for an “Early Termination Date”. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange, on a Class A Unit-by-Class A Unit basis by reference to the Amount Realized by the Applicable Partner on the Exchange of a Class A Unit and the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporation.

Section 3.02 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the Corporation’s Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to the Applicable Partners pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner so that these fundamental results are achieved.

12

Section 3.03 Pro Rata Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent (i) the Corporation’s deductions with respect to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest are limited in a particular Taxable Year or (ii) the Corporation lacks sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, the limitation on the deductions, or the Tax Benefit Payments that may be made, as the case may be, shall be taken into account or made for the Applicable Partner in the same proportion as Tax Benefit Payments would have been made absent the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

Section 4.01 Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.

(a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Class A Units held (or previously held and distributed or exchanged) by the Partnership and all Partners at any time by paying to the Partners the Early Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all Partners, and provided, further, that the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation, neither the OP nor the Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Partners, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and a Partner as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation makes the Early Termination Payment with respect to all Partners, the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such case shall be its obligations to all Partners under Section 4.03(a).

(b) In the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and does not cure such breach within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice of such breach from a Partner, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and any Partner as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement, and this Section 4.01(b) applies, the Partners shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2), and (3), above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this

13

Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporation has insufficient funds, and cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain sufficient funds, to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.02 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporation does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case, Section 5.02 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).

(c) The undersigned parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the timing, amounts, and aggregate value of Tax Benefit Payments pursuant to this Agreement are not reasonably ascertainable.

Section 4.02 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, the Corporation shall deliver to each Partner notice of such intention to exercise such right (the “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The applicable Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless a Partner, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and such Partner shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement.

Section 4.03 Payment upon Early Termination. (a) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after agreement between a Partner and the Corporation of the Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall pay to such Partner an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by such Partner.

(b) The “Early Termination Payment” for any Partner, as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule, shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation to such Partner beginning on the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify the Partners of, and keep the Partners reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporation and the OP by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the Partners’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall provide to the Partners reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporation, the OP and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporation and the OP shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the OP Agreement.

Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.09.

Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.03 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 7.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.06 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

(a) No Partner (other than the Partnership or a Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement) may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that a Partner effectively transfers Class A Units to a party other than the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the OP Agreement, and any other agreements that the Partners may have entered into with each other, or a Partner may have entered into with the Corporation, the Partnership and/or the OP, the transferring party shall assign to the transferee of such Class A Units the transferring party’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Class A Units, and such transferee shall become a party to this Agreement, as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, agreeing to become a “Partner” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder, and (ii) once an Exchange has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to a Partner pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange may be assigned to any Person or Persons, as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12 and acknowledging specifically

17

the second paragraph in this Section 7.06. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Partner or other Person transfers Class A Units to a Partner as may be permitted by any agreement to which the OP is a party, the Partner receiving such Class A Units shall have all rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Class A Units as such Partner has under this Agreement with respect to the other Class A Units held by such Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.06, no transferee described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 2.03, 4.02, 6.01 or 6.02 of this Agreement, and no assignee described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall have any rights under this Agreement except for the right to enforce its right to receive payments under this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the Corporation, the OP, and Partners who would be entitled to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of the Early Termination Payments payable to all Partners hereunder if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any Partner pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate adverse effect on the payments certain Partners will or may receive under this Agreement unless (i) such disproportionate effect is a result of tax laws imposed by government authorities in non-U.S. jurisdictions or (ii) all such Partners disproportionately affected consent in writing to such amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(d) All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 7.07 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 7.08 Submission to Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the validity, interpretation, performance, breach, alleged breach, negotiation or termination of this Agreement (“Dispute”), shall be submitted to mandatory, final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration, except as modified herein. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. For the avoidance of doubt, all parties hereto irrevocably waive any defense or objection to the AAA forum.

18

(b) Any such arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the parties to the Dispute within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent to the arbitration of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the parties do not agree upon an arbitrator within this time limit, an arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Commercial Arbitration Rules, with each party being given a limited number of strikes, except for cause. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen (15) years of experience with corporate and limited partnership matters. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the state of Delaware.

(c) The AAA arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the Dispute, and the award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding, and not subject to appeal. Judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not be permitted to award punitive, multiple or other non-compensatory damages. Any fees, expenses or costs (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incident to enforcing the award shall be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The parties to the Dispute will share equally the arbitration costs and bear their own fees and expenses except as directed by the arbitrator.

(d) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any documents disclosed by one party to another, testimony or other oral submission, and any award or decision) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrators, the AAA, the parties to the Dispute, their legal and professional advisors, and any person necessary for the conduct of the arbitration, except as may be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, or by law, regulatory or governmental authority. Any court proceedings relating to the arbitration hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to prevent or compel arbitration or to confirm, correct, vacate or otherwise enforce an arbitration award, shall be filed under seal with the court, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) Barring good cause shown (as determined in the sole discretion of the arbitrator), discovery shall be limited to pre-hearing disclosure of documents that each side will present in support of its case, and, in response to reasonable documents requests, non-privileged documents in the responding party’s possession, custody or control, not otherwise readily available to the party seeking the documents, and reasonably believed to exist, that may be relevant to the outcome of disputed issues.

(f) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect. In any such judicial action: each of the parties

19

(i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York (the “New York Courts”) for the purpose of any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement of any judgment on any award; (ii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Courts; (iii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; and (iv) hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury.

(g) Each Partner irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that any proceeding brought by such Partner under this Agreement may only be brought and maintained as an individual proceeding in such Partner’s individual capacity. Any claim brought by a Partner must be brought and maintained in such Partner’s individual capacity only and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. Each Partner waives the right to commence or participate in any group, representative, class or collective action and shall not be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

Section 7.09 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and a Partner are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.03, 4.02, and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with either the Corporation or such Partner or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before the date any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, such payment shall be paid on the date such payment would be due and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation, except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and such Partner shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless such Partner has a prevailing position that is more than ten percent (10%) of the payment at issue, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse such Partner for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporation and such Partner and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

20

Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Applicable Partner.

Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If the Corporation becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments, and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Corporation acquires one or more assets that, as of an Exchange Date, have not been contributed to the OP (other than the Corporation’s interests in the OP) (such assets, “Excluded Assets”), then all Tax Benefit Payments due hereunder shall be computed as if such assets had been contributed to the OP on the date such assets were first acquired by the Corporation; provided, however, that if an Excluded Asset consists of stock in a corporation, then, for purposes of this Section 7.11(b), such corporation (and any corporation Controlled by such corporation) shall be deemed to have contributed its assets to the OP on the date on which the Corporation acquired stock of such corporation.

(c) If any entity that is obligated to make an Exchange Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Exchange Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset (as reasonably determined by the governing body, or the Person responsible for management, of such entity acting in good faith), plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest.

21

Section 7.12 Confidentiality. A Partner’s rights to access or receive any information about the Corporation or its business are conditioned on such Partner’s willingness and ability to assure that the Corporation information will be used solely by such Partner for purposes reasonably related to such Partner’s interest as a Partner and that such Corporation information will not become publicly available as a result of such Partner’s rights to access or receive such Corporation information. Each Partner hereby acknowledges that the Corporation creates and will be in possession of confidential information, the improper use or disclosure of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP and their respective Affiliates. Each Partner further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation information constitutes a valuable trade secret of the Corporation and agrees to maintain any such information provided to it in the strictest confidence. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Notwithstanding Article II and Article VI, the Corporation shall have the right to keep confidential from the Partners (and their respective agents and attorneys) for such period of time as the Corporation deems reasonable, any information: (i) that the Corporation believes to be in the nature of trade secrets; (ii) other information, the disclosure of which the Corporation believes is not in the best interest of the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP or could damage the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or their respective businesses; or (iii) which the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP (or their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, members, partners or personnel) is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential; provided, that the Corporation shall make available to a Partner, upon reasonable request, information required by such Partner to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as any requests from any federal or state regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Partner. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, in no event shall the Corporation be required to disclose to any Partner the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or any of their respective Affiliates) unless it is required to do so by law applicable to it, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 7.12 or as required by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that the provisions of this Agreement, all of the information and documents described in Article II and Article VI, all understandings, agreements and other arrangements between and among the parties (or any of them), and all other non-public information received from, or otherwise relating to, any Partner, the OP, the Partnership, the Corporation and/or their respective Affiliates shall be confidential, and shall not disclose or otherwise release to any other Person such matters, without the written consent of the Corporation.

(c) The confidentiality obligations of the parties under this Section 7.12 shall not apply to: (i) the disclosure by a Partner of information to another Partner’s Affiliates, partners, officers, agents, board members, trustees, attorneys, auditors, employees, prospective transferees permitted hereunder, financial advisors and other professional advisors (provided, that such prospective transferees and other Persons agree to hold confidential such information substantially in accordance with this Section 7.12 or are otherwise bound by a duty of confidentiality to such Partner) solely on a need-to-know basis, which Persons shall be bound by this Section 7.12 as if they were Partners, as applicable; (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Partner to prepare and file his or her tax returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any taxing authority with respect to such returns; (iii) information already known to the general public at the time of disclosure or that became known prior to such disclosure through no act or omission by any Partner (or any investor in the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP or any of

22

their respective Affiliates) or any Person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing; (iv) information received from a source not bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Corporation, the Partnership, the OP, any Partner or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; (v) any party to the extent that the disclosure by such party of information otherwise determined to be confidential is required by applicable law (foreign or domestic) or legal process (including pursuant to an arbitration proceeding), or by any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body with jurisdiction over such party; (vi) disclosures made in connection with any lawsuit initiated to enforce any rights granted under this Agreement; or (vii) the disclosure of confidential information to rating agencies to the extent such disclosure is required by such rating agencies; provided, that prior to disclosing such confidential information, a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify the Corporation thereof, which notice shall include the basis upon which such party believes the information is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 7.12(c) permit any Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any the Corporation, the OP, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates), without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which may be given or withheld in the Corporation’s sole discretion) unless the applicable Partner delivers to the Corporation a written opinion of counsel to such Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

(d) To the extent that a Partner is subject to the United States Freedom of Information Act or any similar public disclosure or public records act statutes: (i) such Partner acknowledges the Corporation’s and the Corporation’s position that the information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) constitutes or includes sensitive financial data, proprietary data, commercial and financial information and/or trade secrets that are being provided to and/or entered into with such Partner with the specific understanding that such documents and information will remain confidential; (ii) the Corporation advises such Partner that the documents and information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) would not be supplied to such Partner without an understanding that such documents and information will be held and treated by such Partner as confidential information; and (iii) to the extent that such Partner is nevertheless required to disclose any such confidential information, (A) such Partner shall, unless legally prohibited, give the Corporation prior notice of any such required disclosure and (B) such Partner shall in any event maintain the confidentiality of the Corporation’s information (including this Agreement) to at least the same extent as, and in a manner no less favorable to the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP than the manner in which, it maintains the confidentiality of comparable information in respect of any other private investment vehicles in which such Partner invests (whether such vehicles are focused on private investments, public investments or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 7.12(d) permit any Partner to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Partner (or any other investor in any other Affiliate of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP), without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which may be given or withheld in the Corporation’s sole discretion) unless such Partner delivers to the Corporation a written opinion of counsel to such Partner (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.

23

(e) The Corporation, the Partnership and the OP shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Partner under this Section 7.12 to maintain the confidentiality of the information described herein. The remedies provided for in this Section 7.12 are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Corporation or the Corporation provided by law or equity, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by or among one or more of the Partners and/or the Corporation. Each Partner expressly acknowledges that the remedy at law for damages resulting from a breach of this Section 7.12 may be inadequate and that the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP shall be entitled to institute an action for specific performance of a Partner’s obligations hereunder. The Corporation shall be entitled to consider the different circumstances of different Partners with respect to the restrictions and obligations imposed on Partners hereunder to the full extent permitted by law, and, to the full extent permitted by law, the Corporation may, in its good faith discretion, waive or modify such restrictions and obligations with respect to a Partner without waiving or modifying such restrictions and obligations for other Partners.

(f) In addition, to the full extent permitted by law, each Partner agrees to indemnify (i) the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP, (ii) any Person made, or threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding by reason of its status as a manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP, and (iii) such other Persons (including Affiliates, employees or agents of the Corporation, the Partnership or the OP) as the Corporation, the Partnership and the OP may designate from time to time (whether before or after the event giving rise to potential liability) against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys’ fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Corporation or any such indemnified Person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Corporation or any such indemnified Person may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which the Corporation or any such indemnified Person shall be threatened, by reason of the Partner’s obligations (or breach thereof) set forth in this Section 7.12.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including this Section 7.12), a Partner may disclose any confidential information otherwise subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 7.12 to any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory or self-regulatory body or any securities exchange or listing authority to the extent required or requested by such body, exchange or authority, or as necessary and appropriate in connection with filings, or as otherwise legally required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Partner and assignee (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Partner or assignee, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of (x) the Corporation, the OP, the Partnership and their Affiliates and (y) any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Partners relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 7.13 OP Agreement. To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon the OP or a partner thereof, this Agreement shall be treated as part of the “partnership agreement” of the OP as described in section 761(c) of the Code and sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.

24

Section 7.14 Joinder. The Corporation hereby agrees that, to the extent it acquires a general partner interest, managing member interest or similar interest in any Person after the date hereof, it shall cause such Person to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of such interest, and such person shall be treated in the same manner as the OP for all purposes of this Agreement. The Corporation hereby agrees to cause any Corporate Entity that acquires an interest in the OP (or any entity described in the foregoing sentence) to execute a joinder to this Agreement (to the extent such Person is not already a party hereto) promptly upon such acquisition, and such Corporate Entity shall be treated in the same manner as the Corporation for all purposes of this Agreement. The OP shall have the power and authority (but not the obligation) to permit any Person who becomes a limited partner in the OP to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of limited partnership interests in the OP by such Person, and such Person shall be treated as a “Partner” for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.15 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
