A.            The Partnership was originally governed by that certain Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of May 21, 2004, by and between GMH Communities GP, LLC (“GMH GP”), a Delaware limited liability company, as general partner, and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a natural person, as limited partner.  The Partnership was thereafter reconstituted and governed by that certain Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of GMH Communities, LP, dated as of July 20, 2004, by and among GMH GP, as the Class A general partner, GMH LP LLC (“GMH LP”), a Delaware limited liability company, as the Class A limited partner, Vornado Community GP LLC (“VNO GP”), a Delaware limited liability company, as the Class B general partner, and Vornado Community LP LLC (“VNO LP”), a Delaware limited liability company, as the Class B limited partner (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2004, the “First Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement”).

C.            Immediately following such redemption, (i) GMH LP assigned its interests in the Partnership to the Partnership in exchange for the limited partnership interests to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon GMH LP dissolved and distributed its right to receive such limited partnership interests to its members, (ii) GMH GP caused the Partnership to admit the General Partner as the new sole general partner of the Partnership and then GMH GP withdrew as a partner from the Partnership, and (iii) the General Partner caused certain formation

transactions to occur to again reconstitute the Partnership, including without limitation closing on certain contribution transactions with certain of the new Limited Partners and closing on the exercise of the warrant described above.

exercise.  For example, in the event the Company issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase price and contributes all of the proceeds of such issuance to the Partnership as required hereunder, the General Partner shall be issued a number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of such REIT Shares issued by the Company, the proceeds of which were so contributed, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such contribution.

(b)           Certain Contributions of Proceeds of Issuance of REIT Shares.  In connection with any and all issuances of REIT Shares, the Company shall make Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds therefrom, provided that if the proceeds actually received and contributed by the Company are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the Company shall make a Capital Contribution of such net proceeds to the Partnership but solely for the purpose of determining its Percentage Interest, the Company shall be deemed to receive additional Partnership Units with a value equal to the aggregate amount of the gross proceeds of such issuance pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereof.  Upon any such Capital Contribution by the Company, the Company’s Capital Account shall be increased by the actual amount of its Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.

(c)           Company Repurchase of Capital Stock.  If the Company shall repurchase shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock, the purchase price thereof and all costs incurred in connection with such repurchase shall be reimbursed to the Company by the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof and the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to repurchase a number of Partnership Interests of the appropriate class held by the Company equal to the quotient of the number of such shares of the Company’s capital stock divided by the Conversion Factor in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6.10.

4.03        Additional Funding.  If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interest of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership funds (“Additional Funds”) for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may (i) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the Company, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise.

4.04        Capital Accounts.  A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (iii) the Partnership grants more than a de minimis Partnership Interest as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership by a Partner acting in a partner capacity or by a new Partner acting in a partner capacity or in anticipation of being a Partner, or (iv) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner may revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market

14

value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).  When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.01 if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.  Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, no Partner shall be required to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account.  As of the date hereof, the Capital Account balances of the Partners are set forth on Schedule A.

4.05        Percentage Interests.  If the number of outstanding Partnership Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted by the General Partner effective as of the effective date of each such increase or decrease to a percentage equal to the number of Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of Partnership Units outstanding after giving effect to such increase or decrease.  If the Partners’ Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.05, the Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the portion of the year ending on the day when the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner and the portion of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the taxable year had ended on the date of the adjustment or (ii) based on the number of days in each portion.  The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs.  The allocation of Profits and Losses for the earlier part of the year shall be based on the Percentage Interests before adjustment, and the allocation of Profits and Losses for the later part shall be based on the adjusted Percentage Interests.  The General Partner shall amend Schedule A accordingly.

4.06        No Interest on Contributions.  No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution.

4.07        Return of Capital Contributions.  No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no obligation to return to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such Partner’s Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in existence.

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

15

and assigns.  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 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 of any of the Partners.  In addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other property in violation of the Act.  However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or property of the Partnership.

ARTICLE V

PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS

5.01        Allocation of Profit and Loss.

(a)           Profit.  Profit of the Partnership for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b)           Loss.  Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c)           Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided in any Contribution Agreement, (i) any expense of the Partnership that is a “nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated in accordance with the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests, (ii) any expense of the Partnership that is a “partner nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the “economic risk of loss” of such deduction in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(1) for any Partnership taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2),(3), (4) and (5), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Partnership taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704(2)(g), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). A Partner’s “interest in partnership profits” for purposes of determining its share of the nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be (x) to the extent of the gain that would be allocated to the Partner under Section 704(c) upon a sale of the property of the Partnership, the amount of such gain, and (y) to the extent that the

16

nonrecourse liabilities exceed the amount allocated under clause (x), each Partner’s Percentage Interest.

(d)           Qualified Income Offset.  If a Partner receives in any taxable year an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Capital Account that exceeds the sum of such Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i), such Partner shall be allocated specially for such taxable year (and, if necessary, later taxable years) items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit Capital Account balance as quickly as possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(e)           Capital Account Deficits.  Loss shall not be allocated to a Limited Partner to the extent that such allocation would cause a deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account (after reduction to reflect the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) to exceed the sum of such Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.  Any Loss in excess of that limitation shall be allocated to the General Partner.  After the occurrence of an allocation of Loss to the General Partner in accordance with this Section 5.01(e), to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), Profit shall first be allocated to the General Partner in an amount necessary to offset the Loss previously allocated to the General Partner under this Section 5.01(e).

(f)            Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee.  If a Partner transfers any part or all of its Partnership Interest, the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss allocable among the Partners during such fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership’s fiscal year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such fiscal year that each was a Partner without regard to the results of Partnership activities in the respective portions of such fiscal year in which the transferor and the transferee were Partners.  The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss between the transferor and the transferee Partner.

(g)           Definition of Profit and Loss.  “Profit” and “Loss” and any items of income, gain, expense or loss referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 5.01(c), 5.01(d) or 5.01(e). All allocations of income, Profit, gain, Loss and expense (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in this Section 5.01, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). Unless otherwise agreed with a contributing Limited Partner, the Partnership shall use the traditional method for allocating items of income, gain and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to the properties acquired by the Partnership on or before the date hereof and,

17

with respect to other properties subsequently acquired by the Partnership, the General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to such properties, and such election shall be binding on all Partners.

5.02        Distribution of Cash.

(a)           Subject to Section 5.02(c) hereof and except with respect to distributions in connection with a liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.06(a), the Partnership shall distribute cash at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date.

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

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code.  To the extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to a Partner or assignee (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner (the “Distributable Amount”) equals or exceeds the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership (the “Withheld Amount”), the entire Distributable Amount shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Partner, or (ii) if the Distributable Amount is less than the Withheld Amount, the excess of the Withheld Amount over the Distributable Amount shall be treated as a loan (a “Partnership Loan”) from the Partnership to the Partner on the day the Partnership pays over such amount to a taxing authority.  A Partnership Loan shall be repaid upon the demand of the Partnership or, in the alternative, through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions to the applicable Partner or assignee.  In the event that a Limited Partner (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”) fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the General Partner or Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner.  In such event, on the date of payment, the General Partner or Company, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have extended a loan (a “Withholding Tax Loan”) to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of the payment made by the General Partner or Company and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the

18

Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that amount.  Without limitation, the General Partner or Company shall have the right to receive any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the Defaulting Limited Partner until such time as the Withholding Tax Loan has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner or Company shall be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid to the General Partner or Company.

Any amounts treated as a Partnership Loan or a Withholding Tax Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, or (ii) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership, the General Partner or Company, as applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full.

(d)           In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be redeemed if the effect of the distribution with respect to the Partnership Unit would be to result in receipt by the Partner (in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company as well as in its capacity as a Partner) of a larger distribution than the Partner would have received if it had only been a Partner in the Partnership for the entire period to which the distribution relates.

5.03        REIT Distribution Requirements.  The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient to enable the Company to pay shareholder dividends that will allow the Company to (i) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Code, other than to the extent the Company elects to retain and pay income tax on its net capital gain.

5.04        No Right to Distributions in Kind.  No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the Partnership.

5.05        Limitations on Return of Capital Contributions.  Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to receive, and the General Partner shall not have the right to make, a distribution that includes a return of all or part of a Partner’s Capital Contributions, unless after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return of his Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets.

5.06        Distributions Upon Liquidation.

(a)           Upon liquidation of the Partnership, after payment of, or adequate provision for, debts and obligations of the Partnership, including any Partner loans, any remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to all Partners with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances.

19

(b)           Immediately prior to making a liquidating distribution, if the Company has made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership for which the Company was deemed to receive under Section 4.20(b) additional Partnership Units for purposes of determining its Percentage Interest, the Company shall be allocated Profit or items of gross income or gain so that the ratio of its Capital Account to the Capital Accounts of all other Partners is proportionate to its deemed Percentage Interest.

(c)           Any distributions pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be made by the end of the Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation).  To the extent deemed advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the use of a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are available to pay any contingent debts or obligations.

5.07        Target Final Balance.  The allocation provisions of this Agreement are intended to produce final Capital Account balances that are at levels (“Target Final Balances”) that permit liquidating distributions that are made in accordance with such final Capital Account balances to be equal to the distributions that would occur under Section 5.02 hereof if such liquidating proceeds were distributed pursuant to Section 5.02.  To the extent that the allocation provisions of this Agreement would not produce the Target Final Balances, the Partners agree to take such actions as are necessary to amend such allocation provisions to produce such Target Final Balances.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized and directed to make such allocations of gain, loss and deduction (including items of gross income, gain, loss and deduction) in the year of liquidation of the Company so as to cause the Capital Accounts of the Partners that determine the amounts that are distributed to the Partners under Section 5.02 to be equal to the Target Final Balances.

ARTICLE VI

RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND
POWERS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

6.01        Management of the Partnership.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the General Partner shall have full, complete and exclusive discretion to manage and control the business of the Partnership for the purposes herein stated, and shall make all decisions affecting the business and assets of the Partnership.  Subject to the restrictions specifically contained in this Agreement, the powers of the General Partner shall include, without limitation, the authority to take the following actions on behalf of the Partnership:

(i)            to acquire, purchase, own, operate, lease and dispose of any real property and any other property or assets including, but not limited to, notes and mortgages that the General Partner determines are necessary or appropriate in the business of the Partnership;

(ii)           to construct buildings and make other improvements on the properties owned or leased by the Partnership;

(iii)          to authorize, issue, sell, redeem or otherwise purchase any Partnership Interests or any securities (including secured and unsecured debt obligations of the Partnership, debt obligations of the Partnership convertible into any class or series of Partnership Interests, or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to any Partnership Interests) of the Partnership;

(iv)          to borrow or lend money for the Partnership, issue or receive evidences of indebtedness in connection therewith, refinance, increase the amount of, modify, amend or change the terms of, or extend the time for the payment of, any such indebtedness, and secure indebtedness by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other lien on the Partnership’s assets;

(v)           to pay, either directly or by reimbursement, for all operating costs and general administrative expenses of the Partnership to third parties or to the General Partner or its Affiliates as set forth in this Agreement;

(vi)          to guarantee or become a co-maker of indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Company, refinance, increase the amount of, modify, amend or change the terms of, or extend the time for the payment of, any such guarantee or indebtedness, and secure such guarantee or indebtedness by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other lien on the Partnership’s assets;

(vii)         to use assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, cash on hand) for any purpose consistent with this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment, either directly or by reimbursement, of all operating costs and general and administrative expenses of the General Partner, the Partnership, any Subsidiary of either or their Affiliates, to third parties or to the General Partner as set forth in this Agreement;

(viii)        to lease all or any portion of any of the Partnership’s assets, whether or not the terms of such leases extend beyond the termination date of the Partnership and whether or not any portion of the Partnership’s assets so leased are to be occupied by the lessee, or, in turn, subleased in whole or in part to others, for such consideration and on such terms as the General Partner may determine;

(ix)           to prosecute, defend, arbitrate or compromise any and all claims or liabilities in favor of or against the Partnership, on such terms and in such manner as the General Partner may reasonably determine, and similarly to prosecute, settle or defend litigation with respect to the Partners, the Partnership or the Partnership’s assets;

21

(x)            to file applications, communicate and otherwise deal with any and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over, or in any way affecting, the Partnership’s assets or any other aspect of the Partnership business;

(xi)           to make or revoke any election permitted or required of the Partnership by any taxing authority;

(xii)          to maintain such insurance coverage for public liability, fire and casualty, and any and all other insurance for the protection of the Partnership, for the conservation of Partnership assets, or for any other purpose convenient or beneficial to the Partnership, in such amounts and such types, as it shall determine from time to time;

(xiii)         to determine whether or not to apply any insurance proceeds for any property to the restoration of such property or to distribute the same;

(xiv)        to establish one or more divisions of the Partnership, to hire and dismiss employees of the Partnership or any division of the Partnership, and to retain legal counsel, accountants, consultants, real estate brokers and such other persons as the General Partner may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Partnership business and to pay therefor such reasonable remuneration as the General Partner may deem reasonable and proper;

(xv)         to retain other services of any kind or nature in connection with the Partnership business, and to pay therefor such remuneration as the General Partner may deem reasonable and proper;

(xvi)        to negotiate and conclude agreements on behalf of the Partnership with respect to any of the rights, powers and authority conferred upon the General Partner;

(xvii)       to maintain accurate accounting records and to file promptly all federal, state and local income tax returns on behalf of the Partnership;

(xx)          to establish Partnership reserves for working capital, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities or any other valid Partnership purpose;

22

(xxi)         to do any and all acts and things necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code; and

(xxii)        to take such other action, execute, acknowledge, swear to or deliver such other documents and instruments, and perform any and all other acts that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation and conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership (including, without limitation, all actions consistent with allowing the Company at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the Company voluntarily terminates its REIT status, and all actions consistent with avoiding entity level tax on the Company for so long as it elects to qualify as a REIT) and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and powers of a general partner as provided by the Act.

(b)           Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.

6.02        Delegation of Authority.  The General Partner may delegate any or all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ, contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may approve.

6.03        Indemnification and Exculpation of Indemnitees.

(a)           The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including 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 as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that:  (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  The 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 6.03(a).  The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that

23

specified in this Section 6.03(a).  Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership.

(b)           The Partnership shall reimburse an Indemnitee for reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 6.03 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 6.03 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity.

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

(e)           For purposes of this Section 6.03, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 6.03; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.

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

(g)           An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.03 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 6.03 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.

(i)            Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.03 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the indemnification of

24

an Indemnitee by the Partnership under this Section 6.03 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

6.04        Liability of the General Partner.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith.  The General Partner shall not be in breach of any duty that the General Partner may owe to the Limited Partners or the Partnership or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity provided the General Partner, acting in good faith, abides by the terms of this Agreement.

(b)           The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the General Partner’s securityholders (including the Company’s shareholders) collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or the tax consequences of some, but not all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions.  In the event of a conflict between the interests of the securityholders of the General Partner (including the Company’s shareholders) on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the securityholders of the General Partner (including the Company’s shareholders) or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner and Company own a majority of the Partnership Units, any such conflict that the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the securityholders of the General Partner (including the Company’s shareholders) or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the securityholders of the General Partner (including the Company’s shareholders).  The General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

(c)           Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 6.01 hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents.  The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent the Company from incurring any taxes under

25

Section 857, Section 4981, or any other provision of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

(e)           Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.04 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

6.05        Partnership Obligations.

(a)           Except as provided in this Section 6.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.

(b)           All Administrative Expenses shall be obligations of the Partnership, and the General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Partnership for any expenditure (including Administrative Expenses) incurred by it on behalf of the Partnership that shall be made other than out of the funds of the Partnership.  In the event that any such reimbursement made by the General Partner is treated as gross income of the General Partner for purposes of Section 856 of the Code, the Partnership shall treat such reimbursement as a guaranteed payment to the General Partner within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code.

6.06        Outside Activities.  Subject to Section 6.08 hereof, the Declaration of Trust and any agreements entered into by the General Partner or its Affiliates with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate, shareholder or holder of beneficial interest of the General Partner and the General Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities substantially similar or identical to those of the Partnership.  Neither the Partnership nor any of the Limited Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business ventures, interest or activities.  None of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any such business ventures, interests or activities, and the General Partner shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures, interests and activities to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, could be taken by such Person.

6.07        Employment or Retention of Affiliates.

(a)           Any Affiliate of the General Partner or the Company may be employed or retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and

26

may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price or other payment therefor that the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable.

(b)           The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from 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 Subsidiary or any other Person.

(c)           The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

6.08        General Partner Activities.  The General Partner agrees that all business activities of the Company and the General Partner, including activities pertaining to the acquisition, development or ownership of real property, shall be conducted through the Partnership or one or more Subsidiary Partnerships; provided, however, that the General Partner may make a direct acquisition, if and only if, such acquisition is made in connection with the issuance of Additional Securities, and such direct acquisition and issuance have been approved and determined to be in the best interests of the Company, the General Partner and the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

6.09        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, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof.  Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General 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 or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable.  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.

6.10        Redemption of General Partner Partnership Units.  In the event the Company redeems any REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the Company a number of Partnership Units as determined based on the application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms that the Company redeemed such REIT Shares.  Moreover, if the Company makes a cash tender offer or other offer to acquire REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a corresponding offer to the Company to acquire an equal number of Partnership Units held by the Company.  In the event any REIT Shares are redeemed by the Company pursuant to such offer, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent

27

number of the Company’s Partnership Units for an equivalent purchase price based on the application of the Conversion Factor.

6.11        REIT Protective Covenants.  From and after November 15, 2004 and except with respect to Section 6.11(d), until the date on which (A) the Holder (as defined in the Warrant) has no direct or indirect interest in the Partnership (other than by or through a taxable REIT subsidiary), (B) the Holder owns no warrant or other right to acquire any interest in the Partnership and (C) the Holder’s aggregate ownership of interests in the Partnership and the Company represents less than 5% of the value of the Partnership (in all such cases, taking into account any options or other rights to acquire such interests) (the “Partnership Restricted Period”), the General Partner shall operate and manage the Partnership in compliance with all requirements of Part II of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code (or any successor or similar provisions thereto) such that, if at any time after November 15, 2004, the Partnership were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and were to elect REIT status under Section 856(c) of the Code, the Partnership would qualify as a REIT within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (determined by (i) assuming that the first taxable year of the Partnership and its subsidiaries commences on November 15, 2004 and that their final taxable year ends on the date of the expiration of the Partnership Restricted Period (unless actions taken by the Partnership prior to such date would, without regard to actions taken following such date, have prevented the Partnership from qualifying as a REIT for the taxable year which includes such date (but assuming that such taxable year begins no earlier than November 15, 2004)), (ii) treating each entity that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest as having made a joint TRS election under Section 856(l) of the Code with respect to the Partnership to the extent necessary to avoid a REIT qualification issue, so long as the provisions of clause (e) have been complied with and (iii) assuming that the Partnership satisfies the requirements of Section 856(a)(5) and Section 856(a)(6) of the Code. From and after the IPO Date (as defined in the Warrant issued by the Company and the Partnership to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, dated as of July 27, 2004, as amended (the “Warrant”)) and until the date on which (A) the Holder has no direct or indirect interest in the Partnership (other than by or through a taxable REIT subsidiary), (B) the Holder owns no warrant or other right to acquire any interest in the Partnership and (C) the Holder’s aggregate ownership of interests in the Partnership and the Company represents less than 5% by value of the value of the Partnership (in all such cases, taking into account any options or other rights to acquire such interests) (the “Company Restricted Period”), the Company shall be operated and managed in compliance with all requirements of Part II of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code (or any successor or similar provisions thereto) such that the Company will qualify as a REIT within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code; except as may result from any actions taken following the Partnership Restricted Period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, each of the Company and the Partnership and the General Partner agrees, for the benefit of the Holder, that during the Partnership Restricted Period (in the case of the Partnership and the General Partner) and during the Company Restricted Period (in the case of the Company), neither the Company, the Partnership nor General Partner shall act, directly or indirectly, in any manner that would result in violation of any of clauses (a) through (h) below without the prior written consent of the Holder. Except as specifically provided otherwise in clause (b), for

28

purposes of clauses (a) through (h) below, references to the Partnership shall include any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest.

Except as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the Tax Director of Vornado (as defined in the Warrant):

(a)           Neither the Company nor the Partnership shall own, directly or indirectly, any securities (including, without limitation, stock, partnership or membership interests or indebtedness of a corporation, partnership or limited liability company) other than Excluded Securities (as defined below). “Excluded Securities” shall mean (i) (A) an equity interest in a partnership or limited liability company that is treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes (other than an interest in a partnership or limited liability company listed on such schedules as may be provided by the Holder to the Company or the Partnership from time to time by written notice (provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this clause (a) where the Company or the Partnership owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in a partnership or limited liability company listed on such schedules where such interest was owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) prior to the time at which the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) received written notice adding such entity to such schedules, so long as the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) disposes of its interest in such entity within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice), or (B) an interest in an entity that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and (1) as to which the Partnership intends that the Company will make “taxable REIT subsidiary” election under Section 856(l) of the Code after the IPO Date, so long as the provisions of clause (e) have been complied with or (2) with respect to which the Company has made such an election after the IPO Date (and such election is valid), so long as the provisions of clause (e) have been complied with, (ii) stock in an entity that is a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, (iii) a mortgage loan that is secured by real property with a value, as of the date of acquisition, in excess of the amount of such loan and (iv) assets constituting real estate assets, cash, cash items or government securities for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code.

(b)           Neither the Company nor the Partnership shall hold, directly or indirectly (other than solely through an interest in an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), any (i) stock in trade or other property of a kind that would properly be includable in inventory at hand at the close of a taxable year or (ii) property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. For purposes of this clause (b), the term “partnership” shall not include any entity that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

(c)           Neither the Company nor the Partnership shall hold, directly or indirectly, any REMIC residual interests.

(d)           Neither the Company nor the Partnership shall provide services to tenants of the properties in which the Company or the Partnership owns a direct or indirect interest other than (i) services (other than Excluded Services (as defined below)) that are customarily furnished

29

by landlords in the same geographical area to tenants of or with respect to properties of similar type and class in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only, (ii) through (A) an “independent contractor” (as defined below) or (B) an entity that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and (1) as to which the Partnership intends that the Company will make a “taxable REIT subsidiary” election under Section 856(l) of the Code after the IPO Date, so long as the provisions of clause (e) have been complied with or (2) with respect to which the Company has made such an election after the IPO Date (and such election is valid), so long as the provisions of clause (e) have been complied with, or (iii) through any entity listed on such schedules as may be provided by the Holder to the Company or the Partnership from time to time by written notice. An entity or individual shall be treated as an independent contractor if it (i) is not owned directly or indirectly by the Company or the Partnership and from which neither the Company nor the Partnership derives any income and (ii) is listed on a schedule provided by the Company or the Partnership within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof by written notice (or from time to time thereafter) to the Tax Director of Vornado (or such other person identified by Vornado), provided that the Tax Director of Vornado (or such other person) does not object to such person with ten (10) Business Days after receiving such notice. “Excluded Services” shall mean (i) cleaning services (other than in common areas), (ii) “power space” services, (iii) conference room services, (iv) catering services, (v) telecommunications services or (vi) any other services provided within a tenant’s premises (other than maintenance services provided for the Company or the Partnership’s benefit, services such as the provision of lighting, heat, air conditioning, internet hook-ups and similar services (in each case, to the extent customarily provided to tenants by owners of rental properties of a similar class and located in the same geographic areas)).

(e)           For so long as a member of the Holder holds any direct or indirect interest in the Partnership, the Partnership shall not hold an ownership interest in any entity that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes without providing the Holder with the opportunity to make a taxable REIT subsidiary election under Section 856(1) with respect to such entity (and if the Holder so elects, the Partnership shall cause such entity to join in such election) by providing notice to the Tax Director of Vornado (or such other person identified by Vornado) within 10 business days of acquiring an interest in such entity and allowing the members of the Holder at least 30 business days to choose to make such an election.

(f)            No taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company or the Partnership shall operate property as a lodging facility (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(D)(ii) of the Code) or a health care facility (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(6)(D)(ii)), provided, however, that if the Internal Revenue Service issues a private ruling to the Company concluding that the management of student housing properties that offer short-term summer leasing arrangements would not constitute the operation of a lodging facility (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(D)(ii) of the Code) and such ruling is applicable to any partner in the Partnership that qualifies as a REIT, a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company or the Partnership shall be permitted to operate or manage such properties.  Neither the Company nor the Partnership shall (i)  rent property for an amount based on income or profits of the tenant except to the extent that gross income (as determined under the provisions of the Code relating to the REIT gross income tests) from such rent, together with all other income not qualifying under

30

Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, does not exceed 5% of the gross income of the Partnership or the Company for any taxable year, and (ii) enter into any arrangement whereby the Company or the Partnership will derive income from a person listed on such schedules as may be provided by the Holder to the Company or the Partnership from time to time by written notice (provided that it shall not be a violation of this clause (f) where the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) derives income from a person listed on such schedules as a result of arrangements in place prior to the time at which the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) received written notice identifying such person on such schedules, so long as the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) ceases to derive income from such person within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice.

(g)           During the Partnership Restricted Period, the Partnership shall, and during the Company Restricted Period, the Company shall, deliver to the Holder, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Holder (at least on a quarterly basis), a certificate or certificates signed by General Partner (in the case of the Partnership) or an appropriate officer of the Company (in the case of the Company) to the effect that the Company or the Partnership (as the case may be) has complied with the agreements set forth in this Section 6.11. In addition, the Company, General Partner and the Partnership shall cooperate with the Holder, including, without limitation, by providing information and documents within their respective control relating to the income and assets of the Company and the Partnership, even if the Holder at such time no longer holds an interest in the Company or the Partnership, in addressing issues raised by any taxing authority in any audit or similar proceeding relating to the Holder that relates to or arises out of the Holder’s investment in the Partnership.

(h)           The Company and the Partnership will, upon the request of the Holder, enter into a Trust Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement, as may be modified by the Holder from time to time to the extent the Holder determines reasonably necessary to comply with any guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

(i)            Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.11, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership will be responsible for any failure to comply with such provisions resulting from (A) the deemed treatment of rents as described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code where such rents would not be treated as rents described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to the Company or (B) the ownership, either directly or under the attribution rules of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code, by the Holder of a direct or indirect interest in any entity identified to the Tax Director of Vornado (or such other person identified by Vornado) in a written notice provided by the Partnership, where such Tax Director (or such other person) did not reasonably object in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice from the Partnership to the entering into by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Warrant) of a lease or similar arrangement with respect to such entity or the use of such entity by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Warrant) as an “independent contractor” (determined as though the Partnership were a REIT) within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code.

31

(j)            If either the Company or the Partnership during the Company Restricted Period and the Partnership Restricted Period, respectively, or General Partner fails to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.11 and, as a result of such failure, the Holder (1) fails to maintain its qualification as a REIT or (2) otherwise incurs any liability for any tax, penalty or similar charges), the Company and the Partnership shall indemnify the Holder for all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the loss of any deduction or other tax benefit) attributable to such failure, including without limitation, the loss of REIT status (whether or not such any such losses, damages, liabilities costs or other expenses arise during or after the Company Restricted Period or the Partnership Restricted Period).

(k)           None of the management contracts listed on Schedule 5 to Exhibit A of the Contribution Agreement dated as of July 24, 2004, by and among the Partnership, GMH GP and GMH LP (the “Management Agreements”) shall be contributed to the Partnership at any time during which the Holder (as defined in the Warrant) holds its interest in the Partnership through a taxable REIT subsidiary; provided, however, that if the Internal Revenue Service issues a private ruling to the Partnership or the Company concluding that the management of student housing properties that offer short-term summer leasing arrangements would not constitute the operation of a lodging facility (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(ii) of the Code) and such ruling is applicable to any partner in the Partnership that qualifies as a REIT, one or more of the Management Contracts may be contributed to the Partnership or a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Partnership.  From and after the date hereof, to the extent that the owner of the Management Contracts and the Partnership share employees with respect to the provision of services under the Management Contracts, the Partnership and such owner shall have in place an employee sharing agreement reasonable acceptable to the Holder, to be dated as of the date hereof, which provides that each of the owner and the Partnership shall bear their respective share of the overhead and expense with respect to such employees; provided, that each of the Partnership and the owner shall reimburse the other party to the extent it receives written notice that such other party has paid more than its share of such expenses.  Any such reimbursement shall be made within 10 business days after receipt of such notice.

ARTICLE VII

CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNER

7.01        Transfer of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest.

(a)           The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest or withdraw as the General Partner except as provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Section 7.01(b), (c) or (d).

(b)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01(c) or (d) hereof, the Company shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than in connection with a change in the Company’s state of incorporation or organizational form), in each case which

32

results in a change of control of the Company (a “Transaction”), unless at least one of the following conditions is met:

(i)            the consent of a Majority in Interest (other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) is obtained;

(ii)           as a result of such Transaction, all Limited Partners will receive, or have the right to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal in value to the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid in the Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration for one REIT Share; provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer (“Offer”) shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property that a Limited Partner would have received had it (A) exercised its Redemption Right and (B) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received upon exercise of the Redemption Right immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer; or

(iii)          the Company is the surviving entity in the Transaction and either (A) the holders of REIT Shares do not receive cash, securities or other property in the Transaction or (B) all Limited Partners (other than the Company or any Subsidiary) receive an amount of cash, securities or other property having a value (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) that is no less than the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property having a value (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the Transaction by any holder of REIT Shares.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 7.01(b), the Company may merge with or into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”), other than Partnership Units held by the Company, are contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving Company in good faith and (ii) the Surviving Company expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner hereunder.  Upon such contribution and assumption, the Surviving Company shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7.01(c).  The Surviving Company shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and Conversion Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible.  Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired had

33

such Partnership Units been exchanged immediately prior to such merger or consolidation.  Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for with respect to the Conversion Factor.  The Surviving Company also shall in good faith modify the definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.04 hereof so as to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.04 as closely as reasonably possible.  The above provisions of this Section 7.01(c) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder.

In respect of any transaction described in the preceding paragraph, the General Partner is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure such transaction to avoid causing the Limited Partners to recognize a gain for federal income tax purposes by virtue of the occurrence of or their participation in such transaction, provided such efforts are consistent with and subject in all respects to the exercise of the Board of Trustees’ fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable law.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII,

(i)            the General Partner may transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest to (A) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the General Partner or (B) a parent company of the General Partner, and following a transfer of all of its General Partnership Interest, may withdraw as General Partner; and

(ii)           the General Partner or the Company may engage in a transaction required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange or over-the-counter interdealer quotation system on which the REIT Shares are listed or traded.

7.02        Admission of a Substitute or Additional General Partner.  A Person shall be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner of the Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

(a)           the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner, and a certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05 hereof in connection with such admission shall have been performed;

(b)           if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is a corporation or a partnership, it shall have provided the Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such Person’s authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

34

(c)           counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying on such opinions from other counsel and the state or any other jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the Act, that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner’s limited liability.

7.03        Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, or Dissolution of a General Partner.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to the General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the withdrawal, removal or dissolution of the General Partner (except that, if the General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners), the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof.  The merger of the General Partner with or into any entity that is admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof shall not be deemed to be the withdrawal, dissolution or removal of the General Partner.

(b)           Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to the General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the withdrawal, removal or dissolution of the General Partner (except that, if the General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners), the Limited Partners, within 90 days after such occurrence, may elect to continue the business of the Partnership by selecting, subject to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute General Partner by consent of a Majority in Interest.  If the Limited Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership and admit a substitute General Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of any Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement.

7.04        Removal of the General Partner.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the dissolution of, the General Partner, the General Partner shall be deemed to be removed automatically; provided, however, that if the General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners.  The Limited Partners may not remove the General Partner, with or without cause.

(b)           If the General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section 7.04 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof, the General Partner shall promptly

35

transfer and assign its General Partnership Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by a Majority in Interest in accordance with Section 7.03(b) hereof and otherwise be admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.  At the time of assignment, the removed General Partner shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such removed General Partner as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such General Partner.  Such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and a Majority in Interest (excluding the General Partner) within 10 days following the removal of the General Partner.  In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon an appraiser, the removed General Partner and a Majority in Interest each shall select an appraiser.  Each such appraiser shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest within 30 days of the General Partner’s removal, and the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals; provided, however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than 20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later than 40 days after the removal of the General Partner, shall select a third appraiser who shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest no later than 60 days after the removal of the General Partner.  In such case, the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals closest in value.

(c)           The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner, during the time after default until transfer under Section 7.04(b), shall be converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such removed General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the management and affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any portion of the income, expense, profit, gain or loss allocations or cash distributions allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners.  Instead, such removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to retain distributions or allocations of such items that it would have been entitled to receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer is effective pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

(d)           All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents, shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be legally necessary and sufficient to effect all of the foregoing provisions of this Section.

ARTICLE VIII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

8.01        Management of the Partnership.  The Limited Partners shall not participate in the management or control of Partnership business nor shall they transact any business for the Partnership, nor shall they have the power to sign for or bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner.

36

8.02        Power of Attorney.  Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act for each Limited Partner and in its name, place and stead, and for its use and benefit, to sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file or record, at the appropriate public offices, any and all documents, certificates and instruments as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out fully the provisions of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their terms, including amendments hereto, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, dissolution or legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer by the Limited Partner of any part or all of its Partnership Interest.

8.03        Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners.  No Limited Partner shall be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the Partnership.  A Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership only to make payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as and when due hereunder.  After its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited Partner shall, except as otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any further Capital Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the Partnership.

8.04        Redemption Right.

(a)           Subject to Sections 8.04(b) through (g), and the provisions of any agreements between the Partnership and one or more Limited Partners with respect to Partnership Units held by them and any restriction agreed to in writing between the Redeeming Limited Partner and the General Partner, each Limited Partner, other than the Company or the General Partner, shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units that have been held by such Limited Partner for at least one year (or such lesser time as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion) at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Redemption Amount to be paid by the Partnership.  The Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Limited Partner”); provided, however, that the Partnership shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the option to deliver either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, provided, further, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy such Redemption Right if the Company elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Notice of Redemption.  A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less than 1,000 Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Partner.  The Redeeming Limited Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so redeemed, to receive any distribution paid with respect to Partnership Units if the record date for such distribution is on or after the Specified Redemption Date.

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.04(a), a Limited Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be deemed to have offered to sell the Partnership Units described in the Notice of Redemption to the Company, and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the

37

Redeeming Limited Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as may be elected by the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Limited Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such acquired Partnership Units.  If the Company shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units under this Section 8.04(b) with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the Redeeming Limited Partner within five Business Days after the receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption.  In the event the Company shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units with respect to the exercise of a Redemption Right, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Limited Partner with respect to such Redeeming Limited Partner’s exercise of such Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Limited Partner, the Partnership, the Company and the General Partner shall treat the transaction between the Company and the Redeeming Limited Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Redeeming Limited Partner’s Partnership Units to the Company.  Each Redeeming Limited Partner agrees to execute such documents as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Redemption Right.

(c)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.04(a) and 8.04(b), with respect to an amount of Partnership Units owned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group (as defined in the Declaration of the Trust) as of the date hereof which, if converted into REIT Shares, would not result in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group owning, directly or under applicable ownership attribution rules (as described in the Declaration of Trust) applicable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group, REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) applicable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group (the “Direct Conversion Units”) or an amount that would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem, on a date that is five Business Days after the Partnership’s receipt of a Notice of Redemption (“Direct Conversion Units Redemption Date”), all or a portion of the Direct Conversion Units that have been held by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group for at least one year (or such lesser time as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion) at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the REIT Shares Amount (determined by substituting “5” for “60” in the definition of Specified Redemption Date); provided, however, upon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group’s exercise of such right, it shall be deemed to have offered to sell the Direct Conversion Units described in the Notice of Redemption to the Company, and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group the REIT Shares Amount on the Direct Conversion Units Redemption Date, whereupon the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such acquired Partnership Units; provided, further, (i) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group may not exercise its right under this Section 8.04(c) to convert Direct Conversion Units into the REIT Shares Amount for an amount of Partnership Units less than an amount that would qualify as a “block transfer” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e)(2), (ii) the number of Direct Conversion Units as to which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group has the rights provided in this Section 8.04(c) shall be reduced by the number of Partnership Units previously transferred (whether by sale, redemption or otherwise) by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and (iii) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group may not exercise the right under this Section 8.04(c) if the Company determines that the exercise

38

of such right would prevent the Company from qualifying as a REIT under the Code or would cause the Company to incur additional tax under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code.  The rights provided in this Section 8.04(c) shall not be transferable.  If the Company shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units under this Section 8.04(c) with respect to such Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group within two Business Days after the receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption.  In the event the Company shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units with respect to the exercise of such Redemption Right, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group with respect to its exercise of such Redemption Right, and each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group, the Partnership and the Company shall treat the transaction between the Company and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group’s Partnership Units to the Company.  The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group agrees to execute such documents as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Redemption Right.

(d)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.04(a), 8.04(b) and 8.04(c), a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right if, in the case of Section 8.04(b), the delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date by the Company pursuant to Section 8.04(b) (regardless of whether or not the General Partner would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.04(b)) and, in the case of Section 8.04(c), the delivery of REIT Shares to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group on the Direct Conversion Units Redemption Date by the Company pursuant to Section 8.04(c), would (i) result in such Partner or any other Person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Declaration of Trust and calculated in accordance therewith, except as provided in the Declaration of Trust), (ii) result in REIT Shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), (iii) result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (iv) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the Company’s, General Partner’s, the Partnership’s or a Subsidiary Partnership’s real property, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or (v) be likely to cause the acquisition of REIT Shares by such Partner to be “integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Shares or Partnership Units for purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act.  The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive the restriction on redemption set forth in this Section 8.04(d).

(e)           Any Cash Amount to be paid to a Redeeming Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be paid on the Specified Redemption Date; provided, however, that the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Redemption Date to be delayed for up to an additional 90 days to the extent required for the General Partner to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to make such payment of the Cash Amount.  Any REIT Share Amount to be paid to a Redeeming Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be paid on the Specified Redemption Date; provided, however, that the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Redemption Date to be delayed for up to an additional 60 days to the extent required for the General Partner to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner agrees to use its best efforts to cause the

39

closing of the acquisition of redeemed Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably possible.

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law that apply upon a Redeeming Limited Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right.  If a Redeeming Limited Partner believes that it is exempt from such withholding upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, such Partner must furnish the General Partner with a FIRPTA Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  If the Partnership or the General Partner is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount upon a Redeeming Limited Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right and if the Redemption Amount equals or exceeds the Withheld Amount, the Withheld Amount shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its Partnership Units.  If, however, the Redemption Amount is less than the Withheld Amount, the Redeeming Limited Partner shall not receive any portion of the Redemption Amount, the Redemption Amount shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its Partnership Units, and the Partner shall contribute the excess of the Withheld Amount over the Redemption Amount to the Partnership before the Partnership is required to pay over such excess to a taxing authority.

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the Limited Partners to exercise their Redemption Rights (including the rights granted to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group by Section 8.04(c)) as and if deemed necessary to ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a “publicly traded partnership” under section 7704 of the Code.  If and when the General Partner determines that imposing such restrictions is necessary, the General Partner shall give prompt written notice thereof (a “Restriction Notice”) to each of the Limited Partners, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of an opinion of counsel to the Partnership that states that, in the opinion of such counsel, restrictions are necessary in order to avoid the Partnership being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under section 7704 of the Code.

8.05        Registration.  Subject to the terms of any agreement between the General Partner and one or more Limited Partners with respect to Partnership Units held by them, including, without limitation, the Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 27, 2004, as amended, by and among the Company, the Partnership, GMH Communities GP, LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Vornado Realty, L.P., and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October    , 2004, by and among the Company and FW Military Housing LLC:

(a)           Shelf Registration of the Common Stock.  Effective as of such date as the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 for the registration of securities under the Securities Act (the “S-3 Eligible Date”), the Company shall file with the Commission a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”), or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, covering (i) the issuance of the Common Shares issuable upon redemption of the Partnership Units

40

(“Redemption Shares”) and/or (ii) the resale by the holder of the Redemption Shares, such Registration Statement to be filed as follows:

(A) within six months following the S-3 Eligible Date with respect to Partnership Units issued prior to the S-3 Eligible Date; and

(B) within nine months following the date Partnership Units are issued with respect to Partnership Units issued on or after the S-3 Eligible Date;

provided, however, that only two such Registration Statements are required to be filed by the Company in any 12-month period.  In connection therewith, the Company will:

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable;

(ii) furnish to each holder of Redemption Shares such number of copies of prospectuses, and supplements or amendments thereto, and such other documents as such holder reasonably requests;

(iii) register or qualify the Redemption Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any holder of Redemption Shares shall reasonably request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable such holders to consummate the sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the Redemption Shares; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be required to (A) qualify as a foreign corporation or consent to a general or unlimited service or process in any jurisdictions in which it would not otherwise be required to be qualified or so consent or (B) qualify as a dealer in securities; and

(iv) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to each Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form utilized by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for such Registration Statement.  Each Limited Partner agrees to furnish to the Company, upon request, such information with respect to the Limited Partner as may be required to complete and file the Registration Statement.

In connection with and as a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 8.05, each Limited Partner agrees with the Company that:

(i)            it will not offer or sell its Redemption Shares until (A) such Redemption Shares have been included in a Registration Statement and (B) it has received copies of a prospectus, and any supplement or amendment thereto, as contemplated by Section 8.05(a) hereof, and

41

receives notice that the Registration Statement covering such Redemption Shares, or any post-effective amendment thereto, has been declared effective by the Commission;

(ii)           if the Company determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel, that the use of the Registration Statement, including any post-effective amendment thereto, or the use of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement would require the disclosure of important information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, upon written notice of such determination by the Company, the rights of each Limited Partner to offer, sell or distribute its Redemption Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or prospectus or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Redemption Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement (including any action contemplated by this Section 8.05) will be suspended until the date upon which the Company notifies such Limited Partner in writing (which notice shall be deemed sufficient if given through the issuance of a press release) that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this paragraph is no longer necessary; provided, however, that the Company may not suspend such rights for an aggregate period of more than 90 days in any 12-month period; and

(iii)          in the case of the registration of any underwritten equity offering proposed by the Company (other than any registration by the Company on Form S-8, or a successor or substantially similar form, of (A) an employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan or (B) a dividend reinvestment plan), each Limited Partner will agree, if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters administering such offering, not to effect any offer, sale or distribution of any REIT Shares (or any option or right to acquire REIT Shares) during the period commencing on the 10th day prior to the expected effective date (which date shall be stated in such notice) of the registration statement covering such underwritten primary equity offering or, if such offering shall be a “take-down” from an effective shelf registration statement, the 10th day prior to the expected commencement date (which date shall be stated in such notice) of such offering, and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter in such written request to the Limited Partners; provided, however, that no Limited Partner shall be required to agree not to effect any offer, sale or distribution of its Redemption Shares for a period of time that is longer than the greater of 90 days or the period of time for which any senior executive of the Company is required so to agree in connection with such offering.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be read to limit the ability of any Limited Partner to redeem its Partnership Units for REIT Shares in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)           Listing on Securities Exchange.  If the Company shall list or maintain the listing of any REIT Shares on any securities exchange or national market system, it will, at its expense and as necessary to permit the registration and sale of the Redemption Shares hereunder, list thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing to include such Redemption Shares.

42

(c)           Registration Not Required.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file or maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to Redemption Shares after the earlier of (i) the first date upon which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all of the Redemption Shares covered thereby could be sold by the holders thereof in any period of three months pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereto or (ii) the second anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement.

(d)           Allocation of Expenses.  The Partnership shall pay all REIT Expenses; provided, however, the Partnership shall not be liable for (i) any discounts or commissions to any underwriter or broker attributable to the sale of Redemption Shares, or (ii) any fees or expenses incurred by holders of Redemption Shares in connection with such registration that, according to the written instructions of any regulatory authority, the Partnership is not permitted to pay.

(e)           Indemnification.

(i)            In connection with the Registration Statement, the Company and the Partnership agree to indemnify holders of Redemption Shares within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) caused by any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission, to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission based upon information furnished to the Company by the Limited Partner of the holder for use therein.  The Company and each officer, director and controlling person of the Company shall be indemnified by each Limited Partner or holder of Redemption Shares covered by the Registration Statement for all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) caused by any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or any omission, or alleged omission, based upon information furnished to the Company by the Limited Partner or the holder for use therein.

(ii)           Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 8.05(e) of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.05(e), such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.05(e) unless such failure shall materially adversely affect the defense of such action.  In case notice of commencement of any such action shall be given to the

43

indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.  The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be paid by the indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (in which case the indemnified party shall have the right to separate counsel and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel).  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent.

(f)            Contribution.

(i)            If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 8.05(e) are either unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the party that would otherwise be required to provide indemnification or the indemnifying party (in either case, for purposes of this Section 8.05(f), the “Indemnifying Party”) in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the party that would otherwise be entitled to indemnification or the indemnified party (in either case, for purposes of this Section 8.05(f), the “Indemnified Party”) as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expense, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party.

(ii)           The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.05(f) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by

44

any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  No person or entity determined to have committed a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The contribution provided for in this Section 8.05(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFERS OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

9.01        Purchase for Investment.

(a)           Each Limited Partner, by its signature below or by its subsequent admission to the Partnership, hereby represents and warrants to the General Partner and to the Partnership that the acquisition of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interests is made as a principal for such Limited Partner’s account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest.

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, each Limited Partner agrees that such Limited Partner will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above.

9.02        Restrictions on Transfer of Partnership Interests.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.02(b), (c) and (d), no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.  The General Partner may require, as a condition of any Transfer to which it consents, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith.

(b)           No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated by clause (a) above or clause (c) below or a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.05 below) of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units pursuant to this Article IX or pursuant to a redemption of all such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.04.  Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption

45

of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c)           Subject to Sections 9.02(d), (e) and (f) below, a Limited Partner may Transfer all or any portion of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, with the consent of the General Partner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to the transferee in an Exempt Transfer.  The term “Exempt Transfer” shall mean a transfer by a Limited Partner to such Limited Partner’s (i) parent or parent’s spouse, (ii) spouse, (iii) natural or adopted descendant or descendants, (iv) spouse of descendant, (v) brother or sister, (vi) trust created by such Limited Partner for the primary benefit of such Limited Partner and/or any such persons described in (i) through (v) above of which trust such Limited Partner or any such person(s) or bank or other commercial entity in the business of acting as a fiduciary in its ordinary course of business and having an equity capitalization of at least $100,000,000 is a Trustee, (vii) a corporation, partnership or limited liability company controlled by a Person or Persons named in (i) through (v) above or (viii) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners.

(d)           No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer would require the registration of the Partnership Interest under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including investment suitability standards).

(e)           No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership’s being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Company to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

(f)            Any purported Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article IX shall be void ab initio and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the General Partner or the Partnership.

(g)           Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Article IX, the transferor and/or the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such opinions, certificates and other documents as the General Partner shall request in connection with such Transfer.

9.03        Admission of Substitute Limited Partner.

(a)           Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, an assignee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall be understood to include any purchaser, transferee, donee or other recipient of any disposition of such Partnership Interest) shall be

46

deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership only upon the satisfactory completion of the following:

(i)            The assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart or an amendment thereof, a revised Schedule A setting forth the allocation of the Partnership Units among the Partners, and such other documents or instruments as the General Partner may require in order to effect the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner.

(ii)           To the extent required, an amended Certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner shall have been signed, acknowledged and filed for record in accordance with the Act.

(iii)          The assignee shall have delivered a letter containing the representation set forth in Section 9.01(a) hereof and the agreement set forth in Section 9.01(b) hereof.

(iv)          If the assignee is a corporation, partnership or trust, the assignee shall have provided the General Partner with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of the assignee’s authority to become a Limited Partner under the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(v)           The assignee shall have executed a power of attorney containing the terms and provisions set forth in Section 8.02 hereof.

(vi)          The assignee shall have paid all legal fees and other expenses of the Partnership and the General Partner and filing and publication costs in connection with its substitution as a Limited Partner.

(vii)         The assignee has obtained the prior written consent of the General Partner to its admission as a Substitute Limited Partner, which consent may be given or denied in the exercise of the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b)           For the purpose of allocating Profits and Losses and distributing cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner upon the filing of the Certificate described in Section 9.03(a)(ii) hereof or, if no such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer documents or the date on which the General Partner has received all necessary instruments of transfer and substitution.

(c)           The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by this Section and making all official filings and publications.  The Partnership shall take all such action as promptly as

47

practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions in this Article IX to the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

9.04        Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof, except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof.

(b)           Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

9.05        Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Incompetence or Termination of a Limited Partner.  The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the death of a Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of the Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding is entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate or, if such Limited Partner dies, such Limited Partner’s executor, administrator or trustee, or, if such Limited Partner is finally adjudicated incompetent, such Limited Partner’s committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing such Limited Partner’s estate property and such power as the bankrupt, deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying conditions precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner.

9.06        Joint Ownership of Interests.  A Partnership Interest may be acquired by two individuals as joint tenants with right of survivorship, provided that such individuals either are married or are related and share the same home as tenants in common.  The written consent or vote of both owners of any such jointly held Partnership Interest shall be required to constitute the action of the owners of such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written consent of only one joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been provided with evidence satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the actions of a single joint owner can bind both owners under the applicable laws of the state of residence of such joint owners.  Upon the death of one owner of a Partnership Interest held in a joint tenancy with a right of survivorship, the Partnership Interest shall become owned solely by the survivor as a Limited Partner and not as an assignee.  The Partnership need not recognize the death of one of the owners of a jointly-held Partnership Interest until it shall have received notice of such death.  Upon notice to the General Partner from either owner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be divided into two equal Partnership Interests, which shall thereafter be owned separately by each of the former owners.

(b)           All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code or any applicable state or local tax law shall be made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)           In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Partnership Interest of any Partner, the Partnership, at the option of the General Partner, may elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the Properties (if such election has not already been made).  Notwithstanding anything contained in Article V of this Agreement, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring Partner and in no event shall be taken into account in establishing, maintaining or computing Capital Accounts for the other Partners for any purpose under this Agreement.  Each Partner will furnish the Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election.
