(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement, provided that the Partnership shall elect to apply an allocation method permitted by the Regulations under Code Section 704(c).

INDEMNIFICATION

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the General Partner, (ii) Affiliates of the General Partner and officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, general partners and employees of the General Partner or its Affiliates who perform or are alleged to perform any duties, responsibilities or functions for or on behalf of the Partnership or the General Partner, and (iii) all officers of the Partnership (individually, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including 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, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status specified in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above, if (x) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful; and (y) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendre, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee failed to meet the standards for indemnification set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Article IX shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article IX.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution to which those indemnified may be entitled from the Partnership pursuant to any approval by the Partners or as a matter of law, both as to (x) an action in a capacity described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of paragraph (a) above and (y) an action in another capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity (but only as to actions taken by such Indemnitee prior to such Indemnitee ceasing to serve in such capacity) and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. The Partnership may indemnify an Indemnitee against, or make contribution in respect of, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred by an Indemnitee on a basis other than that described in this Article IX if such indemnification or contribution is approved by both the General Partner and the Limited Partner.

(d) To the extent commercially reasonable, the Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the General Partner, and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense 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. Any indemnification under this Article IX shall first be satisfied out of insurance proceeds to the extent such proceeds have been received by the Partnership. In the event that any assets of the Partnership are used to satisfy any indemnification obligation hereunder and insurance proceeds are subsequently received in respect of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in respect of which indemnification has been provided, such proceeds shall be used to repay the Partnership for the amounts used by it to satisfy such indemnification obligation.

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Article IX 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, provided that such indemnification shall only extend to such Indemnitee’s activities with respect to or on behalf of the Partnership, and not to such Indemnitee’s other interest in the transaction.

(g) The indemnification provided in this Article IX is for the benefit of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any right to indemnification for any other Persons.

TAX APPENDIX

1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of ASR TX INVESTOR LP will have the same meaning in this Exhibit A. In addition, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(a) Crediting to such Capital Account (i) any amount which such Partner is obligated to restore following the liquidation of such Partner’s partnership interest in the Partnership (pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) and (ii) any amount which such Partner is deemed obligated to restore in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(b) Debiting to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6).

This definition is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d), and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

“Book Depreciation” means, for each taxable year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to the Partnership’s assets for such year or other period for federal income tax purposes, except that if the Carrying Value of any asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Book Depreciation with respect to such asset will be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Carrying Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction with respect to such asset for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction with respect to such asset for such year is zero, Book Depreciation will be determined with reference to such beginning Carrying Value using any reasonable method selected by the General Partner.

A-1

“Carrying Value” means, with respect to any asset the asset’s adjusted basis for federal income taxes, subject to the following exceptions and adjustments:

(a) The initial Carrying Value of any asset contributed by a Partner to the Partnership will be the gross fair market value of such asset, as determined by the contributing Partner and the Partnership;

(b) The Carrying Value of all Partnership assets will be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined by the General Partner, immediately preceding the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the acquisition of any interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution if the General Partner determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership; (ii) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership if the General Partner determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership; and (iii) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) (which for this purpose will include the termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1)(B));

(c) The Carrying Value of any Partnership asset distributed to any Partner will be the gross fair market value of such asset on the date of distribution;

(d) The Carrying Values of Partnership assets will be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustment to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and Section 2(g); provided, however, that Carrying Values will not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d) to the extent the General Partner determines that an adjustment pursuant to subsection (b) above is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subsection (d); and

(e) If the Carrying Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (d) above, such Carrying Value will thereafter be adjusted by the Book Depreciation (calculated in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)) taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits and Net Loss.

A-2

“Net Profits” or “Net Losses,” as the case may be, for any period, means an amount equal to the Partnership’s Taxable Income or Taxable Loss for such period, with the following adjustments:

(a) Any income of the Partnership that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits and Net Loss pursuant to this definition will be added to such Taxable Income or will reduce such Taxable Loss;

(b) Any expenditure of the Partnership described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as a Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Loss pursuant to this definition, will be subtracted from such Taxable Income or Loss;

(c) If the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of the definition of Carrying Value, the amount of such adjustment will be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits or Net Loss;

(d) Gain or loss resulting from the disposition of any Partnership asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes will be computed by reference to the Carrying Value of the asset disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Carrying Value;

(e) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such Taxable Income or Loss, there will be taken into account Book Depreciation for such taxable year or other period; and

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, any item which is specially allocated pursuant to Section 2 will not be taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss.

Special Allocations.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of Article VII of the Partnership Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 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 Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704- 2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of Article VII of the Partnership Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable 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 Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704- 2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. If any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), that, after tentatively taking into account all allocations that would be made for the current period under this

A-4

Agreement (other than allocations pursuant to this Section 2(c)), would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain will be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations under Code Section 704(b), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations under this Section 2(c) will be comprised of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain for the year.

(d) Preventative Allocation. If any Limited Partner would have a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any taxable year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Limited Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership on liquidation, (ii) such Limited Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Minimum Gain as of the end of such taxable year, and (iii) such Limited Partner’s share of Partner Minimum Gain as of the end of such taxable year, each such Limited Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible. Allocations under this Section 2(d) will be comprised of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain for the taxable year.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable 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 Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(l).

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages at the time of such allocation.

(g) Optional Adjustment to Basis - Section 754. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will 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 will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Regulations Section.

A-5

(h) Overall Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Net Loss will be allocated to any Limited Partner if such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Limited Partner’s Capital Account. If the Capital Account of any Limited Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at any time when the Capital Account of any other Limited Partner would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, any further Net Loss will be allocated in accordance with the respective Capital Account balances of the Limited Partners whose Capital Accounts would have no Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. In the event that the allocation of further Net Loss would cause Adjusted Capital Account Deficits in the Capital Accounts of all Limited Partners, all such Net Loss will be allocated to the General Partner.

(i) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 2(a) through 2(h) (“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized to divide other allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss, and other items among the Partners so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions will be divided among the Partners pursuant to this Agreement. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profit, Net Loss, and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Person is zero. However, the General Partner will have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner.

Other Allocation Principles.

(a) Frequency. For purpose of determining the Net Profit, Net Loss, or any other item allocated to any period, Net Profit, Net Loss, and any such other item shall be determined on a daily, monthly, quarterly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) Remaining Items. Any item of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction and any other allocation not otherwise provided for in this Agreement shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as the Partners share Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, for such period.

(c) Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse

A-6

liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners’ interests in Partnership profits are in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages.
