ARTICLE 3BUSINESS OF THE PARTNERSHIP
ARTICLE 4CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS
4.1 Capital Contributions. The General Partner and the Limited Partners have made Capital Contributions to the Partnership in exchange for the Partnership Interests set forth opposite their names on the Partnership’s books and records (the “Partnership Register”). The General Partner may keep, or cause to be kept, the Partnership’s books and records current through separate revisions that reflect periodic changes to the Capital
Contributions made by the Partners and Redemptions and other purchases of Partnership Units by the Partnership, and corresponding changes to the Partnership Interests of the Partners, without preparing an amendment to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Partnership Register shall be deemed a reference to the Partnership Register as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the General Partner may take any action authorized hereunder in respect of the Partnership Register without any need to obtain the consent or approval of any other Partner. No action of any Limited Partner shall be required to amend or update the Partnership Register. Except as required by law, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive a copy of the information set forth in the Partnership Register relating to any Partner other than itself.
4.2 Classes of Partnership Units. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units designated as Class T Units, Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units, Class E Units, Class F-T Units, Class F-S Units, Class F-D Units and Class F-I Units. Each such Class shall have the rights and obligations attributed to that Class under this Agreement. The General Partner may supplement this Agreement to permit the issuance of additional Classes of Partnership Units.
4.3 Additional Capital Contributions and Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests. Except as provided in this Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or in any separate agreement with one or more Partners, the Partners shall have no right or obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. The General Partner may contribute additional capital to the Partnership, from time to time, and receive additional Partnership Interests in respect thereof, in the manner contemplated in this Section 4.3.
4.4 Additional Funding. If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interests 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, (ii) elect to have the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans, the purchase of additional Partnership Interests or otherwise (which the General Partner or such Affiliates will have the option, but not the obligation, of providing) or (iii) cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests and admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3.
4.5 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) and a Partner shall have a single Capital Account with respect to all Partnership Interests held by such Partner. 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 or money as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (iii) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), or (iv) the Partnership grants a Partnership Interest (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner may revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with 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 5.1 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. In furtherance of the foregoing and in accordance with Regulations Section 1.1061-3(c)(3)(ii)(B), the Partnership shall, (i) calculate separate allocations attributable to (A) distribution entitlements that are not commensurate with capital contributed to the Partnership and (B) distribution entitlements that are commensurate with capital contributed to the Partnership (in each case, within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.1061-3(c)(3)(i) and as reasonably determined by the General Partner), and (ii) consistently reflect each such allocation described in clause (i) in its books and records.
4.6 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 4.6, the Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the day when the adjustment occurs and the part 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 part. 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.
4.7 No Interest on Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution.
4.8 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.
4.9 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 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. No Partner shall be required to make a Capital Contribution to restore a deficit in respect of its Capital Account.
4.10 No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Person, including, without limitation, any Partner or assignee, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interest or to otherwise make an additional Capital Contribution.

5.7 Substantial Economic Effect. It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations of Profit and Loss under this Agreement have substantial economic effect (or be consistent with the Partners’ interests in the Partnership in the case of the allocation of losses attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. To the greatest extent possible, Article 5 and other relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.
5.8 Reinvestment. Subject to legal, tax, regulatory or other similar considerations, each Limited Partner holding Partnership Units agrees to participate in the reinvestment program of distributions to the holders of Partnership Units (the “DRIP” and, any participating Limited Partner, a “DRIP Participant”) unless otherwise agreed with the General Partner in writing.
