ARTICLE III

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

3.01 Capital Contributions. Each Partner has made the capital contribution to the Partnership set forth opposite such Partner’s name on Exhibit A. The Partnership hereby acknowledges its receipt of the foregoing and, in exchange therefor, has issued to or established for each Partner, and each Partner hereby acknowledges its receipt of, the Partnership Units, the

Capital Account and the Percentage Interest set forth opposite such Partner’s name on Exhibit A. All Partnership Interests now or hereafter issued by the Partnership shall constitute personal property of the owner thereof for all purposes, and a Partner shall not, by virtue of holding and/or owning a Partnership Interest, have or be deemed to have any interest in the Partnership’s Property. The Partnership Units and Percentage Interests of the Partners shall be adjusted from time to time to take into account the actual Capital Contributions of the Partners, it being understood and agreed that, as of the Operational Date, each Partner is to own the Partnership Units and Percentage Interests proportionate to the total Capital Contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership.

3.02 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions.

(a) General. The General Partner may, except as otherwise provided herein, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for Partnership purposes or for such other purposes. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 3.02 and, except as otherwise provided herein, without the Approval of the Limited Partners.

(b) Additional Capital Contributions. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Units to Persons and to admit such Persons as additional Limited Partners for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the determination of the terms and the amount of consideration payable for any issuances of additional Partnership Units to MPT, the General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates shall be subject to the Approval of the Limited Partners, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event of any such issuance, the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units.

(c) Loans by Third Parties. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur indebtedness to any Person, other than the General Partner or its Affiliates, upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate, including making such indebtedness convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such debt if (i) a breach, violation or default of such indebtedness would be deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer by any Limited Partner of any Partnership Interest, or (ii) such debt is recourse to any Partner (unless the applicable Partner otherwise agrees).

(d) General Partner Loans. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur indebtedness to the General Partner or its Affiliates (a “General Partner Loan”) if such indebtedness is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than would be available to the Partnership from any third party; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such indebtedness if (a) a breach, violation or default of such indebtedness would be deemed to occur by virtue of the

Transfer by any Limited Partner of any Partnership Interest, or (b) such indebtedness is recourse to any Partner (unless the applicable Partner otherwise agrees).

3.03 Preemptive Rights. No person shall have any preemptive, preferential or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interests.

3.04 Capital Accounts.

(a) A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) will be established and maintained for each Partner. Each Partner’s Capital Account will have an initial balance equal to the amount of such Partner’s initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership which balance will be hereafter increased by (1) the amount of cash contributed by such Partner to the Partnership; (2) the fair market value of property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code); (3) allocations to such Partner of Profits; (4) any items in the nature of income and gain which are specially allocated to the Partner pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), (d) or (e) allocations to such Partner of income described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code. Each Partner’s Capital Account will be hereafter decreased by (1) the amount of cash distributed to such Partner by the Partnership; (2) the fair market value of property distributed to such Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code); (3) allocations to such Partner of Losses; (4) any items in the nature of deduction and loss that are specially allocated to the Partner pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), (d) or (e); and (5) allocations to such Partner of expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Partners, no adjustment to any Partner’s Capital Account in accordance with this Section 3.05(a) shall result in any adjustment to, or otherwise affect, the Percentage Interest of such Partner.

(b) In the event of a sale or exchange of a Partnership Interest in accordance with this Agreement, the Capital Account of the transferor shall become the Capital Account of the transferee to the extent it relates to the transferred Partnership Interest in accordance with Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1).

(c) The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulation §1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event that the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership or any Partner), are computed in order to comply with such Regulation, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Partner pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner shall also (A) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and (B) make any appropriate

modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulation §1.704-1(b).

3.05 No Interest on Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on his or its Capital Contribution or Capital Account.

3.06 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 all or any part of such Partner’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account for so long as the Partnership continues in existence.

3.07 Other Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such partner in cash and such Partner had contributed the cash to the capital of the Partnership. In addition, with the consent of the General Partner, one or more Limited Partners may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.

3.08 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 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.

3.09 No Restoration Obligation. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.08, a deficit in the Capital Account of any Partner shall not be deemed to be an asset or property of the Partnership or a liability of such Partner which such Partner is obligated to make up or restore.

3.10 No Partition. No Partner nor any successor-in-interest to a Partner shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Partnership partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Partnership partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself and its successors-in-interest and assigns hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Partners that the rights of the

parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Partnership property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of the Partners and their successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS

4.01 Tax Allocations. Profits or Losses of the Partnership for each Year shall be determined by the General Partner in accordance with this Agreement. Except as otherwise required by provisions of the Code and Regulations, and as set forth in Sections 4.01(c), (d) and (e) below, the Profits or Losses of the Partnership, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit entering into the computation thereof, and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit which the Partners are required to take into account separately under the provisions of the Code or Regulations, shall be as follows:

(a) Allocation of Losses. Losses of the Partnership for any Year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Year. In the event that some but not all of the Partners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to this Section 4.01(a), the limitation set forth in this paragraph shall be applied on a Partner by Partner basis (in accordance with the applicable Partners’ relative Percentage Interests) so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Partner under Section 1.704(b)(2)(ii)(a) of the Regulations.

(b) Allocation of Profits. Profits for any Year shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

	(i)		First, to any Partner who was allocated Losses after the Capital Account of any other Partner was reduced to zero (0), to the extent of such Losses; provided, however, that in the event that the foregoing applies to more than one Partner, to those Partners pro rata according to the amount of such Losses allocated to each; and

	(ii)		Second, to the Partners in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

(c) Additional Tax Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(i)

Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation §1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if there is a net decrease in minimum gain (as defined in Regulation §1.704-2(b)(2)) during any Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Partnership

			for such Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(f)(6) and Regulation §1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.01(c)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation §1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

	(ii)		Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if there is a net decrease in minimum gain attributable to a Partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulation §1.704-2(b)(4)) during any Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Partnership for such Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4) and §1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.01(c)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

	(iii)		Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of income and gain of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, any deficit balance in such Partner’s Capital Account (adjusted as required by the Regulations) of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.01(c)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this subsection have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.01(c)(iii) were not in this Agreement.

	(iv)		Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Year, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of the Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.01(c)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this subsection have been made as if Section 4.01(c)(iii) hereof and this Section 4.01(c)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

	(v)		Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulation §1.704-2(i)(1) and §1.704-2(i)(2)) for any Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner nonrecourse debt to which such Partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(1).

	(vi)		Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulation §1.704-2(b)(1) and §1.704-2(c)) for any Year shall be specially allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

	(vii)		Capital Account Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of its Partnership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partner in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(d) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth and described in Section 4.01(d) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Code § 704. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership pursuant to this subsection. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all such items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b) hereof.

(e) Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code §704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with subsection (i) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any asset of the Partnership is adjusted pursuant to subsection (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal, state and local income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code § 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. The Partners are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations

which may be made pursuant to this Section and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section in reporting their respective shares of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense of the Partnership.

(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 Year of the Partnership shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership’s Year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such Year that each was a Partner without regard to the results of Partnership activities in the respective portions of such 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) Percentage Interests. If the number of outstanding Partnership Units increases or decreases during a 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 4.01(g), the Profits and Losses for the Year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the Year ending on the day when the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner and the part of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the 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 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 of the Year shall be based on the adjusted Percentage Interests.

4.02 Distributions. In addition to the distribution required under Section 4.03 hereof, the General Partner shall distribute Available Cash Flow quarterly and may also make distributions at such other times and in such amounts as it shall in its sole discretion determine. Any such distribution shall, unless otherwise agreed to by all of the Partners, be made to the Partners in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests as of the time of such distribution.

4.03 Tax Distributions. Prior to the due date of the Partners’ federal and state income tax payments for any Year or calendar quarter, the General Partner shall, to the extent that funds are legally available and subject to the Reserve, cause the Partnership to make cash distributions to the Partners in amounts sufficient to enable each of them (or their respective Equity Constituents) to pay their actual or estimated federal and state income tax payments resulting from the Profits of the Partnership, which distributions shall be made at such times (but no less frequently than quarterly each Year) and in such amounts so that, to the extent possible, the Partners (or their respective Equity Constituents) may avoid the imposition of any penalties; provided, however, that any Profit, income, gain, loss, depreciation or other deduction which is recognized and allocated to a Partner (or the Equity Constituents of a Partner) pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code (including reverse 704(c) allocations) shall be disregarded and

excluded when determining Profits for purposes of this Section 4.03 and no tax distributions shall be made with respect to such amounts. In determining the amounts to be distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Section, the General Partner shall assume that each Partner and each Equity Constituent of each Partner is subject to the highest applicable federal and state income tax rates then in effect for individuals.

4.04 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 11.05 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Partner shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03 hereof for all purposes under this Agreement.

4.05 Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to a Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or any other applicable law.

4.06 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.

4.07 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.

(b) For purposes of Section 4.07(a), the Capital Account of each Partner shall be determined after all adjustments made in accordance with Section 4.01 and 4.02 resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership’s assets.

(c) Any distributions pursuant to this Section 4.07 shall be made by the end of the Partnership’s 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 of the Partnership.

4.08 Substantial Economic Effect. It is the intent of the Partnership and the Partners that the allocations of Profit and Loss under the 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. Article IV and other relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

	(vii)		to use assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, cash on hand) for any purpose consistent with 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;

	(xiv)		to establish one or more divisions of the Partnership, to hire and dismiss employees of the Partnership or any division of the Partnership, to appoint and delegate authority to officers of the Partnership and to retain legal counsel, accountants, consultants, real estate brokers, property managers 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;

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

	(xxii)		to take all actions, make all decisions and determinations and exercise any other rights reserved or assigned to the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the agreements and take the actions described and/or referenced in Section 5.01(a) on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Act or any applicable law. The execution, delivery and performance by the General Partner of the above mentioned agreements and transactions shall not constitute a breach of any duty under this Agreement or implied in law or equity.

(c) 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, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this section, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership.

(d) Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including, without limitation, its own interests, and shall not be required to consider or take into account the interests of any one or more of the Limited Partners or their respective Equity Constituents.

5.02 Delegation of Authority. The General Partner may delegate any or all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder to any Person that the General Partner may from time to time determine, including, without limitation, the officers and employees of the Partnership, the General Partner and any Subsidiary of the Partnership and may further 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.

5.03 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 5.03(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 specified in this Section 5.03(a). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.03 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 5.03 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 5.03 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 is no longer a Partner or otherwise affiliated with the Partnership.

(d) The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, 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 5.03, 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 5.03; 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 5.03 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 5.03 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 5.03 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the indemnification of an Indemnitee by the Partnership under this Section 5.03 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.

(j) If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this section constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

5.04 Liability of the General Partner.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the General Partner nor any of its partners, members, directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the General Partner 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, acts in good faith.

(b) The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and 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 to some, but not all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. 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 except to the extent provided in Section 5.04(a).

(c) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 5.01 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) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 5.04 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s or any of its officer’s, director’s, agent’s or employee’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 5.04 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

5.05 Partnership Obligations.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 5.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Article IV 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 third-party expenditure incurred by it on behalf of the Partnership that shall be made other than out of the funds of the Partnership. The General Partner shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses and shall be entitled to receive a management fee of up to one percent (1%) per Year of the total revenue of the Partnership as determined in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner.

5.06 Outside Activities. The General Partner, for so long as it is the General Partner of the Partnership, agrees that its sole business and purpose will be to act as the General Partner of the Partnership and that it shall not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except in connection with or incidental to its performance as General Partner of the Partnership and the performance of its duties hereunder.

5.07 Employment or Retention of Affiliates.

(a) Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal or contract with the Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and may receive from the Partnership such comparable compensation, price or other payment therefor and upon comparable terms as would be available to the Partnership from third parties. Upon any breach by the Partnership or by any Affiliate of the General Partner of the terms of any contract between the Partnership and any Affiliate of the General Partner (an “Affiliate Contract”) which breach has a material adverse effect on the business of the Partnership, the Limited Partners by

and through the Limited Partner Representative and upon Approval of the Limited Partners may prosecute the rights of the Partnership under such Affiliate Contract.

(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its wholly-owned Subsidiaries 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.

5.08 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. 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.

ARTICLE VI

CHANGES IN THE PARTNERSHIP OR THE GENERAL PARTNER

6.01 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 General Partner except as provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Section 6.01(c) or 6.04(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI, the General Partner may transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest to (A) MPT or (B) any direct or indirect Subsidiary of MPT and, following a transfer of all of its General Partnership Interest, may withdraw as General Partner.

6.02 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 2.06 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

(c) counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying on such opinions from other counsel 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.

6.03 Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, Death or Dissolution of a General Partner.

(a) Upon the occurrence of the Bankruptcy of a General Partner or the death, withdrawal, or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner or member in, such partnership or limited liability company 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(s) or member(s), the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 6.03(b) hereof. The merger of a General Partner with or into any entity that is admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof shall not be deemed to be the withdrawal, dissolution or removal of the General Partner.

(b) Following the occurrence of the Bankruptcy of a General Partner or the death, withdrawal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner or member in, such partnership or limited liability company 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(s) or member(s), the Limited Partners, within 90 days after such occurrence, may elect, by Approval of the Limited Partners, to continue the business of the Partnership for the balance of the term specified in Section 2.05 hereof by selecting, subject to Section 6.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute General Partner. 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.

6.04 Removal of a General Partner.

(a) The Limited Partners may not remove the General Partner, with or without cause.

(b) If the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof, the former General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 6.03(b) hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. At the time of assignment, the former General Partner shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such former General Partner, as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such former General Partner. Such fair market value shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6.04(b) by a Qualified Appraiser mutually agreed upon by the former General Partner and the Approval of the Limited Partners (the “Approved Appraiser”) within 10 days following the date the Limited Partners shall elect to continue the business of the Partnership (the “Election Date”). In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon a Qualified Appraiser, the former General Partner and the Limited Partners, by Approval of the Limited Partners, each shall select a Qualified Appraiser. Each of such selected appraisers shall provide an appraisal of the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest in accordance with this Section 6.04(b) and a third Qualified Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”), as selected by such two appraisers, shall select one of such two appraisals which the Third Appraiser determines to be the more-accurate calculation of the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.04(b). The appraiser or appraisers selected in accordance with this Section 6.04(b) shall each calculate the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest by determining the amount the former General Partner would receive if the Partnership assets were sold for fair market value (based on the Partnership’s revenues) and all such proceeds were distributed prorata to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in liquidation of the Partnership. The appraisal of the Approved Appraiser or as selected by the Third Appraiser shall be deemed the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. The cost of all such appraisals shall be borne by the Partnership.

(c) The General Partnership Interest of a former General Partner, during the time after the Election Date until transfer under Section 6.04(b), shall be converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such former 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 former 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 6.04(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 the foregoing provisions of this Section.

TRANSFERS OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

8.01 Purchase for Investment.

(a) Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the General Partner, the other Limited Partners and the Partnership that (i) the acquisition of its Partnership Interests and Partnership Units is made as a principal for its account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest or Partnership Units, and (ii) the Limited Partner understands and agrees that its acquisition of Partnership Interests and Partnership Units are being made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.02, each Limited Partner agrees that it will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer his Partnership Interest or Partnership Units 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 and the Partnership set forth in Section 8.01(a) above.

8.02 Restrictions on Transfer of Partnership Interests.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.02(b), (c) and (d) and except as provided in Article X hereof, no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest or Partnership Units, 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 the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. 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 8.05 below) of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to this Article VIII. Upon the permitted Transfer of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Partner may pledge its Partnership Interest to the Partnership to secure any obligations owed by such Partner to the Partnership.

(d) No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Partnership Interest or Partnership Units, 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 or Partnership Units 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 or Partnership Units, in whole or in part, may be made to any Person if in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership’s being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation.

(f) Any purported Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article VIII 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 and as a condition of the consummation of any Transfer under this Article VIII, 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.

(h) If any Partner shall at any time Transfer or attempt to Transfer its Partnership Interest or part thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement and any rights hereby granted, then the Partnership and the other Partners shall, in addition to all rights and remedies at law and in equity, be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such Transfer and the offending Partner shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; it being hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law will be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the violation of the provisions concerning Transfer set forth in this Agreement.

8.03 Admission of Substitute Limited Partner.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, 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) or Partnership Units shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership only with the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, and 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, including a revised Exhibit A, 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 8.01(a) hereof and the agreement set forth in Section 8.01(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 7.02 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 shall have 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 8.03(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 practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions in this Article VIII to the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

(d) The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substitute Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

8.04 Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 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 or Partnership Units until the Partnership has received notice thereof.

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

8.05 Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Incompetence or Termination of a Limited Partner. The Bankruptcy of 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 his estate or, if he dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is finally adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his 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.

8.06 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 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. 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.

ARTICLE IX

REQUIRED PARTICIPATION IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

9.01 Offer to Purchase Partnership Interests or the Partnership’s Assets. If, during the term of this Agreement, the Partnership or any Partner shall receive written evidence of a bona fide offer (whether in the form of a binding or non-binding letter of intent, term sheet, proposal or otherwise outlining the proposed terms of a bona fide offer) from any Person which is not a party hereto or an Affiliate of a party hereto, pursuant to which such Person offers or proposes to:

	(i)		purchase all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets (whether in a single transaction or in series of related transactions);

	(ii)		purchase One Hundred Percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Partnership Interests; or

	(iii)		enter into a merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar transaction with the Partnership;

in a transaction whose terms and conditions are, except for differences which reflect the Partners’ respective Capital Account balances, identical as to each Partner and each Partnership Interest and as a result of which each Partner, or the Partnership in a sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, would receive cash, cash equivalents or securities which either are or are convertible into securities of a class that is publicly held and publicly traded on an established national market or exchange and the transaction would not, if consummated, subject any Partner to indemnification obligations which were not (A) several, (B) separate, (C) pro rata (based on the consideration received by each Partner relative to the total consideration to be received by all of the Partners), and (D) in excess of the total consideration received by such Partner (provided that any Partner may, at his or its option waive the application of anyone or more of the foregoing conditions as to himself or itself), and the General Partner wishes to accept such offer and consummate the transaction(s) contemplated thereby, then, subject, in the case of any transaction described in clause (iii) above, to the rights of the Non-Affiliate Limited Partners as are set forth in Section 7.06 hereof, the provisions of this Article IX shall apply.

9.02 Acceptance of Offer. In the event that the General Partner elects to accept any such bona fide offer or proposal described in Section 9.01 hereof (an “Accepted Offer”), the General Partner shall deliver written notice of such election along with documentation which sets forth in reasonable detail the general terms and conditions of the bona fide offer or proposal as of the date of such notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) to those Partners with rights to approve such offer or proposal, and only those Partners, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the closing date of the transaction contemplated by such offer or proposal. In connection with such transaction, each Partner shall, at such time as it is appropriate and, as applicable, (i) provide a written consent with respect to his or its Partnership Interest in favor of such sale of the assets and any subsequent liquidation of the Partnership; (ii) subject to the approval rights set forth in Section 7.06 above, provide a written consent with respect to his or its Partnership Interest (and any Partnership Interest with respect to which such Partner holds a proxy) approving such merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar transaction; or (iii) transfer and sell either all of his or its Partnership Interest (and any Partnership Interest with respect to which such Partner holds a proxy) or, as applicable, a percentage of his or its Partnership Interest (and any Partnership Interest with respect to which such Partner holds a proxy) that is equal to the Percentage Interest being transferred and sold in such transaction. Each Partner shall execute such documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to consummate any of the foregoing transactions.

9.03 Powers of Attorney. Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner as such Partner’s true and lawful proxy and attorney in fact, with full power of substitution, to vote the Partnership Interest then owned by such Partner, or to act

by written consent with respect thereto, or to execute such agreements, instruments and documents, and make representations, warranties and covenants and incur indemnity obligations on such Partner’s behalf and in such Partner’s name as may be required to consummate the transactions related to an Accepted Offer. This proxy and power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable.

ARTICLE X

PURCHASE OPTION

10.01 Option to Purchase Partnership Interest. Upon the occurrence of a Call Event with respect to any Limited Partner (along with, as applicable, such Limited Partner’s representative, executor, trustee or custodian, an “Affected Limited Partner”), the Partnership shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Partnership Interest and Partnership Units of the Affected Limited Partner (the “Affected Interest”) at any time from and after the occurrence of the applicable Call Event for the Fair Market Value of the Affected Interest as of the date that an Exercise Notice (as hereinafter defined) has been delivered by the General Partner to the Affected Limited Partner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article X. The General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether and when to exercise the foregoing option for and on behalf of the Partnership and, if the General Partner determines to exercise such option, it shall deliver notice to that effect (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Affected Limited Partner. Upon the delivery and receipt of an Exercise Notice hereunder, the Partnership shall be required to purchase and redeem from the Affected Limited Partner, and the Affected Limited Partner shall be obligated to sell to the Partnership, the Affected Interest for the purchase price determined pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.04.

10.02 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by the Partnership for the Affected Interest shall be its Fair Market Value as of the date of delivery of the applicable Exercise Notice as agreed to by the General Partner and the Affected Limited Partner or, if no such agreement is reached, as determined by the Designated Appraiser in accordance with Section 10.03.

10.03 Selection of Appraisers. If the General Partner and the Affected Limited Partner are unable to agree to the Fair Market Value of the Affected Interest within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the applicable Exercise Notice, the General Partner and the Affected Limited Partner shall each designate and engage a Qualified Appraiser to provide within thirty (30) days following his engagement a written appraisal of such Fair Market Value. Such two (2) Qualified Appraisers shall promptly select a third Qualified Appraiser (the “Designated Appraiser”) who shall be engaged to select one (1) of such two (2) appraisals which he determines to reflect more accurately the Fair Market Value of the Affected Interest and to provide prompt written notice of such selection to the General Partner and the Affected Limited Partner. The appraisal selected by the Designated Appraiser shall constitute the conclusive and binding determination of the Fair Market Value of the Affected Interest. The Partnership and the Affected Limited Partner shall each bear half of the costs incurred to engage and compensate the Qualified Appraisers for services rendered pursuant to this Article X.

10.04 Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price payable for the Affected Interest (the “Purchase Price”) shall be payable in thirty-six (36) equal successive monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest on the balance of the Purchase Price accruing from the date of the closing described in Section 10.05 below at 10.75% per annum. The first installment of principal and interest shall be due and payable on the first day of the month following the date of closing and successive installments shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the entire Purchase Price, together with interest as aforesaid, has been paid in full. The Partnership’s obligation for payment of the Purchase Price shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Partnership in such customary form as may be mutually agreed by the General Partner and the Affected Limited Partner. The Partnership shall have the privilege to prepay part or all of the principal amount of such promissory note, at any time, without premium or penalty. The Partnership’s obligations under such promissory note (i) shall be subordinated to the Partnership’s obligations under or with respect to (A) any instrument evidencing the Partnership indebtedness, if any, to MPT, and (B) any indebtedness for money borrowed, whether or not evidenced by a note, security or other instrument, excluding, however, indebtedness incurred to trade creditors in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business; and (ii) shall be secured by the grant of a security interest in the Affected Interest in favor of the Affected Limited Partner.

10.05 Closing of Purchase. The closing of any purchase and sale of the Affected Interest pursuant to this Article X shall take place within sixty (60) days after the General Partner’s delivery of an Exercise Notice to the applicable Affected Limited Partner at the offices of the Partnership’s attorney at 10:00 a.m., Birmingham, Alabama time.

(b) All deposits and other funds not needed in the operation of the business of the Partnership may be invested by the General Partner in investment grade instruments (or investment companies whose portfolio consists primarily thereof), government obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and municipal notes and bonds. The funds of the Partnership shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person except for such commingling as may necessarily result from an investment in those investment companies permitted by this Section 11.02(b).

11.03 Tax Information and Reports. Within one hundred and fifty (150) days after the end of each Year, the General Partner shall furnish to each person who was a Limited Partner at any time during such year (a) the tax information necessary to file such Limited Partner’s individual tax returns as shall be reasonably required by law; and (b) an audited balance sheet and income statement of the Partnership for such Year prepared in accordance with GAAP. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each quarterly period during a Year (a “Quarter”), the General Partner shall furnish to each person who was a Limited Partner at any time during such Quarter an unaudited balance sheet and income statement for such Quarter prepared in accordance with GAAP.

11.04 Tax Matters Partner; Tax Elections; Special Basis Adjustments.

(a) The General Partner shall be the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. As Tax Matters Partner, the General Partner shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall have the right to retain professional assistance in respect of any audit of the Partnership by the Service and all out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership as Tax Matters Partner shall constitute Partnership expenses. In the event the General Partner receives notice of a final Partnership adjustment under Section 6223(a)(2) of the Code, the General Partner shall either (i) file a court petition for judicial review of such final adjustment within the period provided under Section 6226(a) of the Code, a copy of which petition shall be mailed to all Limited Partners on the date such petition is filed, or (ii) mail a written notice to all Limited Partners, within such period, that describes the General Partner’s reasons for determining not to file such a petition.

(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. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IV 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.

11.05 Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within ten (10) Business Days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 11.05. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 11.05 when due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have lent such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., ten (10) Business Days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.
