​

25

​

hereby continues as the general partner of the Partnership generally and the general partner of the Partnership associated with each of Series I and Series II.

Section 7.2Series.

(a)Each of Series I and Series II has previously been formed, and upon execution of this Agreement hereby continues without dissolution, as a registered series of partnership interests in the Partnership within the meaning of Section 17-221 of the Act. The terms of each Series shall be as set forth in this Agreement and, if the Board of Directors so determines, in a separate Series Agreement for each Series in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, but with any changes therein that the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Limited Partner or any other Person. No Series shall be required to have a separate Series Agreement. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, (i) the terms and provisions of a Series Agreement may have the effect of altering, supplementing and amending the terms and provisions hereof with respect to the related Series, and (ii) to the extent that any of the terms or provisions of a Series Agreement conflict with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement as applied to the relevant Series, the terms or provisions of such Series Agreement shall control with respect to such Series.

(b)Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series (or the general partner associated with such Series) only, and not against the assets of the Partnership generally or any other Series (or any general partner not associated with such Series), and none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Partnership generally or any other Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series (or any general partner associated with such Series who is not also general partner of the Partnership generally or the general partner associated with such other Series, as the case may be). The records maintained for each Series shall account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the other assets of the Partnership, or any other Series, and assets associated with a Series may be held, directly or indirectly, including in the name of such Series, in the name of the Partnership, through a nominee or otherwise. Records maintained for a Series that reasonably identify its assets, including by specific listing, category, type, quantity, computational or allocational formula or procedure (including a percentage or share of any asset or assets) or by any other method where the identity of such assets is objectively determinable, will be deemed to account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the other assets of the Partnership or any other Series. The Board of Directors and the Partnership shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series or the assets, if any, of the Partnership, generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Series may agree to be liable, including jointly and severally liable, for the obligations of one or more other Series and/or of the Partnership generally, and the Partnership may agree to be liable, including jointly and severally liable, for the obligations of one or more Series. The Board of Directors may allocate assets, debts, liabilities, expenses or other obligations of the Partnership generally among the Series in such percentages and proportions as the Board of Directors may determine.

(c)The Board of Directors may cause the Partnership generally and any Series to allocate any property to any Series. A Person may be admitted as a Limited Partner associated

​

26

​

with such Series in accordance with Section 7.8 or Section 10.4, as applicable. A Person may be admitted as a Limited Partner associated with one or more than one Series.

(d)The Certificate shall contain a notice of the limitation of liabilities of the Series in conformity with Section 17-218 of the Act and Section 17-221 of the Act.

(e)Each provision of this Agreement and each reference herein to the “Partnership” may, except as otherwise expressly provided, be interpreted to mean “the Partnership (including each Series thereof)” or “the Partnership (including any Series thereof)” where the context permits or requires such interpretation, each reference to the “Partnership” may be interpreted on a Series-by-Series basis where context permits or requires such interpretation, and each reference to a “Series” may be interpreted as a reference to the “Partnership generally” where the context permits or requires such interpretation, in each case, as determined by the Board in its good faith discretion.

Section 7.3Shares

(a)The partnership interests in each Series shall be represented by the “Share” or “Shares” held by the Limited Partners associated with such Series. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares shall constitute economic interests in a Series and shall not confer on any holder thereof any partnership interest or any other interest in the Partnership generally or in any other Series, including as a Limited Partner of the Partnership generally or as a Limited Partner associated with such other Series, and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to any rights of a Limited Partner associated with the Series of which it holds Shares, unless such holder is admitted as a Limited Partner associated with such Series in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)Initially, Series I does not intend to offer any Shares to investors, however, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Series I from offering Shares to investors at any time subject to the approval of the General Partner, in its sole discretion. Shares of Series I shall be divided in such classes and be subject to such sales loads, servicing fees, distribution fees, dealer manager fees, commissions, other fees, aggregate commitment capacities and minimum investment requirements described below, as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time in its sole discretion and set forth in the PPM. The Shares of Series II shall initially be divided into six Classes of Investor Shares, one Class of E Shares and one Class of E-W Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Article XVII, Classes of Investor Shares shall be subject to such sales loads, servicing fees, distribution fees, dealer manager fees, commissions, other fees, aggregate commitment capacities and minimum investment requirements described below, as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time in its sole discretion and set forth in the PPM.

(c)Investor Shares will be offered monthly on a continuous basis at NAV per Share. Initially, there shall be six types of Investor Shares in Series II: (i) Standard Fee Class-S Shares (“Standard Fee Class-S Shares”), (ii) Standard Fee Class-I Shares (“Standard Fee Class-I Shares”), (iii) Founder Share Class II-S Shares (“Founder Share Class II-S Shares”), (iv) Founder Share Class II-I Shares (“Founder Share Class II-I Shares”), (v) Founder Share Class III-S Shares (“Founder Share Class III-S Shares”), (vi) Founder Share Class III-I Shares (“Founder Share Class III-I Shares” and Founder Share Class II-S Shares, Founder Share Class

​

27

​

II-I Shares and Founder Share Class III-S Shares also referred to as “Founder Shares” and, collectively with Standard Fee Class-S Shares and Standard Fee Class-I Shares, the “Series II Investor Shares”).

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Article XVII, E Shares (“E Shares”) and Classes of E-W Shares (“E-W Shares”) shall be subject to such sales loads, servicing fees, distribution fees, dealer manager fees, commissions, other fees, and minimum investment requirements described below, as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time in its sole discretion and set forth in the PPM. E Shares and E-W Shares are not Investor Shares, and Class E Shares will be held only by (i) Monroe, its affiliates, its officers and employees, (ii) the directors, officers and employees (if any) of the Partnership, and (iii) certain other investors in the Operating Manager’s discretion, and are not being offered to other investors, and Class E-W Shares will be held only by certain investors in the Operating Manager’s discretion, and are not being offered to other investors.

Section 7.4Establishment of New Classes; Authorized Shares. In addition to the Series II Investor Shares, E Shares and E-W Shares, the Board of Directors may, without the consent of any other Person, cause each Series to (i) create additional Classes of Shares having such terms, rights, designations, preferences, powers and duties (which rights or powers may be senior to existing Classes of Shares), as the Board of Directors shall determine, including, without limitation: (A) the right of any such Class of Shares to share in Series distributions; (B) the allocation to any such Class of Shares of items of Series income, gains, losses, deductions and credits; (C) the rights of any such Class of Shares upon dissolution of the Partnership or the applicable Series; and (D) the right of any such Class of Shares to vote on matters relating to the Partnership, the Series and this Agreement and (ii) issue Shares of any Class, for such consideration, if any, as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. The Limited Partners understand and agree that rights afforded to any additional Class of Shares (including, without limitation, rights to Partnership and Series distributions) may be senior to and result in a reduction and/or dilution in the rights of then outstanding Shares. In connection with the creation of any additional Class of Shares, the Board of Directors shall, without the consent of any other Person, approve a Class designation (a “Class Designation”) setting forth the terms of such Class of Investor Shares. Any such Class Designation shall be attached as an annex to this Agreement. For all purposes of the Act, this Agreement, together with each Series Agreement (if any) and Class Designation constitutes the “partnership agreement” of the Partnership within the meaning of the Act.

(b)The Partnership or the applicable Series is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares of any Class of any Series. The Board of Directors may cause the Partnership or the applicable Series to issue any number of Shares of any Class of any Series without the consent of any Person. Subject to the terms of any Class Designation, the Limited Partners holding each Class of Investor Shares will have the same voting rights.

(c)As set forth in the Operating Agreement, the Management Fee and the Performance Fee may be paid, at the Operating Manager’s election, in cash or E Shares. To the extent that the Operating Manager elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee or the Performance Fee in E Shares, the Partnership may redeem such E Shares from the Operating Manager pursuant to the Share Redemption Program, and the Operating Manager may elect to

​

28

​

submit those shares for repurchase pursuant to the Share Redemption Program. E Shares of the Partnership obtained by the Operating Manager will be subject to the repurchase limits of the Share Redemption Program, but will not be subject to the Early Redemption Deduction.

Section 7.5Capital Contribution by the General Partner. Subject to applicable law and except as may otherwise be agreed by the Partnership generally and/or applicable Series and the General Partner, the General Partner shall have no obligation to make any capital contributions to the Partnership generally or to either Series.

Section 7.6Additional Capital Contributions. Subject to applicable law and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Class Designation or as agreed by the Partnership, the applicable Series and such Limited Partner, no Limited Partner shall be required to make any Capital Contribution in addition to the purchase price paid for such Limited Partner’s Shares.

Section 7.7Offering of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall have sole and complete discretion in determining the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of Shares and are hereby authorized and directed to do all things which the Board of Directors deems to be necessary, convenient, appropriate and advisable in connection therewith, including the execution or performance of agreements with selling agents and others concerning the marketing of the Shares, all on such basis and upon such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine.

Section 7.8Admission of Limited Partners; Subscriptions for Shares.

(a)Other than with respect to Substitute Limited Partners as provided in Section 10.4, no Person may be admitted as a Limited Partner, either of the Partnership generally or associated with a particular Series, without the prior written consent of the Partnership. Subject to obtaining such prior written consent, such Person shall be admitted as a Limited Partner either of the Partnership generally or associated with a particular Series, as applicable, upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Series Agreement of the applicable Series (if any) and any applicable Class Designation, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement or a Subscription Agreement, and such Person being listed as Limited Partner in the Partnership’s books and records.

(b)Subscriptions for Shares will be accepted or rejected by the Partnership, the Officers or the Board of Directors and, if rejected, all funds (or the funds associated with the rejected portion of any partially-rejected subscription) shall be returned to such subscribers. The Partnership, the Officers or the Board of Directors may refuse to accept subscriptions for Shares and contributions tendered therewith for any reason whatsoever, or for no reason.

Section 7.9Redemption of Shares.

​

​

capital, and as may be subsequently amended, modified, revised or restated by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 7.9(b).

(b)The Board of Directors may, without the consent of any Person, amend, modify, revise or restate the Share Redemption Program if in reasonable judgment deems such action to be in the Partnership’s best interest and the best interest of the Limited Partners, including, but not limited to, for tax, regulatory or other structuring reasons.

(i)Material modifications to the Share Redemption Program, including any amendment to the five percent (5%) quarterly limitation on redemptions described herein will be subject to the approval of the Independent Directors and promptly disclosed to Limited Partners in a supplement to the PPM or special or periodic report filed by the Partnership. Material modifications will also be disclosed on the Partnership’s website.

(ii)In addition, the Board of Directors may determine to suspend the Share Redemption Program if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in the Partnership’s best interest and the best interest of Limited Partners, including, but not limited to, for tax, regulatory or other structuring reasons. Any suspension of the Share Redemption Program will be promptly disclosed to Limited Partners in a supplement to the PPM or special or periodic report filed by the Partnership.

(iii)Once the Share Redemption Program is suspended, the Board of Directors is required to consider the recommencement of the Share Redemption Program at least quarterly. Continued suspension of this Share Redemption Program would only be permitted if the Board determines that the continued suspension is in the best interest of the Partnership. The Board of Directors must affirmatively authorize the recommencement of the Share Redemption Program before Limited Partner requests will be considered again. The Board of Directors cannot terminate the Share Redemption Program absent a liquidity event which results in Limited Partners receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange, or results in the Shares being quoted on the over the counter market or otherwise becoming traded on a secondary market or where otherwise required by law.

(c)Pursuant to the Share Redemption Program, the Partnership will redeem Shares using a purchase price (the “Transaction Price”) equal to the NAV per Share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, subject to the Early Redemption Deduction described below (each, a “Share Redemption”). Because of differential fees and other factors, NAV between Share classes will differ, but all NAV calculations are expected to be based on the joint underlying economic interests in the assets underlying its Asset-Backed Finance Assets.

(d)For each calendar quarter, a Limited Partner may request to redeem its Shares pursuant to the Share Redemption Program beginning on the opening of business on the first Business Day of the second month of the applicable quarter, and no later than such deadline, as disclosed on the Partnership’s website the “Redemption Deadline”, which is generally expected to be 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the 10th Business Day following the publication of NAV for the

​

30

​

immediately preceding quarter and such submission period, the “Redemption Window”. If a redemption request is received after 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Redemption Deadline of the applicable calendar quarter, the redemption request will not be executed and, if a Limited Partner still wishes to have its Shares redeemed, must be resubmitted after the start of the next quarter. Limited Partners may also withdraw their redemption requests by the same deadline.

(e)Redemption requests may be made by mail or by contacting the Limited Partner’s financial intermediary, both subject to certain conditions described in the PPM. If a Limited Partner has made multiple purchases of any class of Shares of a Series that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any redemption request will be processed on a first in/first out basis unless otherwise requested in the Redemption Request Form (as defined below). If making a redemption request by mail to the transfer agent, the Limited Partner must complete and sign a redemption request in the form attached herein as Schedule A (the “Redemption Request Form”) which is also available on the Partnership’s website, and submit required documentation. Written requests should be sent to the transfer agent at the following address:

​

(iii) All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of redemption requests and notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Partnership or the Operating Manager, in their sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding.

(f)A Series may redeem fewer Shares than have been requested in any particular quarter to be redeemed under the Share Redemption Program, or none at all, at the sole discretion of the Board. In addition, the aggregate NAV of total redemptions of Shares each quarter will be limited to no more than 5.00% of the Partnership’s aggregate NAV as of the end of the prior quarter (measured collectively across both Series as of the close of the previous calendar quarter), unless otherwise authorized by the Board of Directors. Shareholders who are exchanging a class of Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV of another class of Shares will not be subject to, and will not be treated as, redemptions for the calculation of the 5.00% quarterly calculation on redemptions and will not be subject to the Early Redemption Deduction.

(g)In the event that the Partnership determines to redeem some but not all of the Shares submitted for redemption during any quarter, Shares submitted for redemption during

​

32

​

such quarter will be redeemed on a pro rata basis after the Partnership has redeemed all Shares for which redemption has been requested due to death, qualifying disability, divorce, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or adjudicated incompetence of the Limited Partner. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next quarter, or upon the recommencement of the Share Redemption Program, as applicable. The Transaction Price for each quarter will be available on the Partnership’s website.

(c)Each Series will not redeem Shares if (1) such purchases would impair the Partnership’s status as a holding company; (2) the Series would not be able to sell the Partnership assets in a manner that is orderly and consistent with the Partnership’s objectives in order to purchase Shares under the Share Redemption Program; or (3) there is, in the Board of Directors’ judgment any (a) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging the Share Redemption Program or otherwise materially and adversely affecting the Partnership, (b) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State, which is material to the Partnership, (c) limitation imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, (d) commencement or escalation of war, armed hostilities, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, public health crises or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States that in the sole determination of the Board of Directors is material to the Partnership, (e) a material decrease in the estimated NAV from the estimated NAV as of the commencement of the Share redemption offer or (f) other events or conditions that would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or its Limited Partners if Shares were redeemed.

(d)All Shares redeemed pursuant to the Share Redemption Program will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

(e)The Partnership will assume or cause to be assumed all fees and expenses related to a redemption of Shares. A Limited Partner that has less than all of its Shares redeemed must maintain a minimum account balance after the redemption is effected, the amount of which will be established by the Partnership from time to time and is currently $500. If a Limited Partner requests the redemption of a number of Shares that would cause the aggregate NAV of the Limited Partner’s holdings to fall below the required minimum, a Series reserves the right to reduce the amount to be redeemed from the Limited Partner so that the required minimum balance is maintained. In the alternative, the Partnership may also redeem all of such Limited Partner’s Shares. The Partnership or the Operating Manager may waive the minimum account balance from time to time.

ARTICLE VIII

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 8.1Series Capital. No Limited Partner shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution or on such Limited Partner’s Capital Account (if any), and no Limited Partner shall have any right (i) to demand the return of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution or any other distribution from the Partnership or any Series (whether upon withdrawal or otherwise), except upon dissolution of the Partnership or a Series pursuant to Section 18.2 hereof or pursuant to the Share Redemption Program, (ii) to cause a partition of the Partnership’s or a Series’ assets, or (iii) to own or use any particular or individual assets of the Partnership or a Series.

​

33

​

Section 8.2Establishment and Determination of Capital Accounts. A capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be established for each Series II Limited Partner. The Capital Account of each Series II Limited Partner shall consist of his, her or its initial Capital Contribution and shall be (i) increased by (a) any additional Capital Contributions made by such Series II Limited Partner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Class Designation, (b) the amount of any Partnership or Series liabilities that are assumed by such Series II Limited Partner, and (c) such Series II Limited Partner’s share of Series II Profits allocated to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.2, (ii) decreased by (a) such Series II Limited Partner’s share of Series II Losses allocated to such Series II Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.2 and (b) any distributions to such Series II Limited Partner (net of liabilities assumed by such Series II Limited Partner and liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed to such Series II Limited Partner and (iii) adjusted as otherwise required by the Code and the regulations thereunder, including the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Any references in this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Series II Limited Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time as set forth above.

Section 8.3Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense to be reflected in Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that:

(i)any income that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax shall be added to such taxable income or losses;

(ii)any expenditures of Series II (or of the Partnership allocated to Series II) described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), shall be subtracted from such taxable income or losses;

(iii)if the Book Value of any Series II property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) (in connection with a distribution of such property) or (f) (in connection with a revaluation of Capital Accounts), then the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property;

(iv)if property that is reflected on the books of Series II has a Book Value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then depreciation, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property shall be determined by reference to such Book Value; and

(v)the computation of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be made without regard to any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code that may be made by Series II, unless the adjustment to basis of Series II property pursuant to such election is reflected in Capital Accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

Section 8.4Negative Capital Accounts. No Series II Limited Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership generally, a Series or any other Limited Partner any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Series II Limited Partner’s Capital Account.

​

34

​

Section 8.5Adjustments to Book Value. Series II shall adjust the Book Value of its assets to fair market value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of the following times: (a) at the Board of Directors’ discretion, in connection with the issuance of Shares in Series II and the computation of NAV thereon; (b) at the Board of Directors’ discretion, in connection with the distribution by Series II to a Series II Limited Partner of more than a de minimis amount of Series II assets, including cash, if as a result of such distribution, such Series II Limited Partner’s interest in Series II is reduced (including a redemption of Shares in Series II); and (c) the liquidation of Series II within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(g). Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset made pursuant to Section 8.5 shall, as a matter of administrative convenience, occur on a quarterly basis to take into consideration the contributions by and distributions to Series II Limited Partners over the course of a given quarter. Furthermore, any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset shall be allocated as a Series II Profit or Series II Loss to the Capital Accounts of the Series II Limited Partners under Section 9.2 (determined immediately prior to the issuance of the new Shares in Series II or the distribution of assets in an ownership reduction transaction).

Section 8.6Compliance With Section 1.704-1(b). The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board of Directors determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by Series II or any Series II Limited Partner), are computed in order to comply with such regulation, the Board of Directors may make such modification; provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.1 on the dissolution of the Partnership or the applicable Series. The Board of Directors also shall (a) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Series II Limited Partners and the amount of Series II capital reflected on the Partnership’s or Series, as applicable, balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(iv)(g), and (b) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

Section 8.7Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each transferee Series II Limited Partner shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account of the Series II Limited Partner (or portion thereof) to which such transferee Limited Partner succeeds at the time of such transfer. The Capital Account of any Series II Limited Partner whose interest in Series II shall be increased or decreased by means of the transfer of Shares shall have a corresponding adjustment to such Series II Limited Partner’s Capital Account. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of or distribution to a Series II Limited Partner that has succeeded to Shares in Series II of any other Series II Limited Partner shall include any Capital Contributions or distributions previously made by or to the former Series II Limited Partner on account of such Shares in Series II.

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF SERIES II PROFITS AND SERIES II LOSSES

Section 9.1Generally.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Sections 17-607, 17-218, 17-221 and 17-804 of the Act, the Board of Directors shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to Limited Partners, in each case subject to the retention of, or payment to third parties of, such funds or reserves as the Board of Directors deems necessary with respect to anticipated business needs of the Partnership and the Series which shall include (but not by way of limitation) the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of obligations of the Partnership generally or of the Series, including the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses or any other obligations.

(b)Distributions made with respect to the Partnership generally and/or a Series may exceed earnings and adjusted cash flow from operating activities of the Partnership generally and/or the applicable Series and may be paid from borrowings, offering proceeds and other sources.

(c)Subject to the rights of any holders of Shares specified in any Class Designation and the terms of any Class of Shares specified herein or in any Class Designation, distributions of cash shall be paid to the holders of record of such Shares as of the applicable record date established by the Board of Directors pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on such record date.

(d)Cash distributions to holders of Shares pursuant to Section 9.1(c) are subject to the terms of the DRIP and such cash distributions will automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares unless such holders have elected in their Subscription Agreement or otherwise provided notice to the Partnership using the appropriate documentation and the applicable Series of such election to receive distributions in cash. Limited Partners may terminate their participation in the DRIP with prior written notice to the Partnership and the applicable Series. Under the DRIP, distributions in respect of Shares are reinvested in Shares of the same Class for a purchase price equal to the most recently available NAV per Share as of the end of the prior month.

(e)The DRIP in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Schedule B to this Agreement. The Board of Directors may, without the consent of any Person, amend, modify, revise or restate the DRIP from time to time and any such amendment, modification, revision or restatement of the DRIP shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made to a Partner if and to the extent that such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Section 9.2Allocation of Series II Profit and Series II Loss.

(a)All special allocations pursuant to Section 9.3 with respect to such fiscal year, all Series II Profits and Series II Losses (including special allocations of distribution fees and

​

36

​

other than Series II Profits and Series II Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.3) shall be allocated to the Series II Limited Partners’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account of each Series II Limited Partner (which may be either a positive or negative balance) shall be equal to the amount which would be distributed to such Series II Limited Partner if Series II were to liquidate all of its assets for the Book Value thereof and distributed the proceeds thereof pursuant to the order of priorities set forth herein, minus such Series II Limited Partner’s share of Series II Minimum Gain and Limited Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical liquidation of assets of Series II.

(b)All Series II Profits and Series II Losses allocable to any Series II Limited Partner shall be allocated on a monthly basis based upon the results of Series II’s operations during such month, without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Series II Limited Partner during such calendar month; however, such allocation shall be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)The Partnership, and each Series, shall separately track and reflect on its books and records Operating Expenses allocable to a single Class (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Management Fees), as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, and allocate such Operating Expenses to such Class.

Section 9.3Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2:

(a)Series II Limited Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Series II Limited Partners, pro rata in proportion to the value of their respective interests in Series II, as determined by the Board of Directors. If there is a net decrease in Series II Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Series II Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Series II Limited Partner’s share of the net decrease in Series II Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g) (subject to the exceptions thereunder). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b)Series II Limited Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Series II Limited Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Series II Limited Partner that has a share of such Series II Limited Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Series II Limited Partner’s share of the net decrease in Series II Limited Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (subject to the exceptions thereunder). Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

​

37

​

(c)If any Series II Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Series II Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d)No allocation of Series II Loss shall be made pursuant to Section 9.2 to the extent that it causes or increases a deficit balance in any Series II Limited Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account. To the extent any allocation of Series II Loss would cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of any of the Series II Limited Partners to have a deficit balance, such Series II Loss shall be allocated to the Series II Limited Partners with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion with such relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances.

(e)The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Series II Profits and Series II Losses among Series II Limited Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Series II Profits and Series II Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Series II Limited Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Series II Limited Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 9.4Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Section 9.8 from any distribution to a Limited Partner shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 9.5Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(i)The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of Series II shall be allocated, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Series II Limited Partners in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Series II Limited Partners for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, Series II’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Series II Limited Partners so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocations set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Limited Partners and in a manner intended to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, within the meaning of the Code and Treasury Regulations. The Board of Directors shall determine all matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state, local

​

38

​

or non-U.S. tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. In the event a Limited Partner’s Shares are redeemed pursuant to Section 7.9 or Section 10.10, the Board of Directors may specially allocate additional items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to such Limited Partner insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between the aggregate amounts allocated to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Limited Partner. For purposes of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes, without limitation, an allocation (i) pro rata based on the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the relevant Limited Partners, or (ii) solely to the relevant Limited Partners with the greatest such differences (taking into account such allocations).

(ii)In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of Series II shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Series II Limited Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to Series II for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using any reasonable method provided for in the Treasury Regulations as selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(iii)If the Book Value of any Series II asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Directors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Series II Limited Partner’s Capital Account or share of Series II Profits, Series II Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.6Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code. The Board of Directors shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election, including any election related to the matters described in Section 3.2 upon the Board of Directors’ determination in its sole discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Limited Partners.

Section 9.7Tax Matters.

(a)The Board of Directors may designate a “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) as defined in Section 6223 of the Code with respect to operations conducted by Series II pursuant to this Agreement. The Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent Series II (at the expense of Series II) in connection with all examinations of the affairs of Series II by any U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of Series II for professional services and costs associated therewith and may act as or appoint an individual to act as a “designated individual” on behalf, and subject to the direction and control, of the Partnership Representative

​

39

​

in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1. The Partnership Representative shall be authorized to take any actions necessary under the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law) that it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including making an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to any imputed underpayment. This Section 9.7 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Partnership or Series II, and each Limited Partner’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall survive such Limited Partner’s ceasing to be a Series II Limited Partner.

(b)The Board of Directors shall use its best efforts to ensure that Series II satisfies the gross income requirements of Section 7704(c)(2) of the Code for each Taxable Year of Series II.

Section 9.8Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby indemnifies the Partnership generally and each Series for and authorizes the Partnership and each Series to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the Partnership generally or the Series is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership or the Series pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472 or 6226 of the Code. This Section 9.8 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Partnership and each Series, and each Limited Partner’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall survive such Limited Partner’s ceasing to be a holder of Shares.

ARTICLE X

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

Section 10.1Cessation of a Limited Partner. A Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership generally or as a partner of the Partnership associated with a Series (i) by having all of such Limited Partner’s Shares (or its Shares in such Series, as applicable) redeemed pursuant to the Share Redemption Program or (ii) in connection with the assignment of all of its Shares (or its Shares in such Series, as applicable) and the admission of a Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with this Agreement, and otherwise may not withdraw as a Limited Partner. The cessation of a Limited Partner as a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership or any Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner shall not cause such Limited Partner to cease to be a limited partner of the Partnership generally or to be a limited partner of the Partnership associated with a Series, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Partnership and each Series shall continue without dissolution. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining limited partner of the Partnership to cease to be a limited partner of the Partnership, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such limited partner is hereby authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such limited partner in the Partnership, agree in writing (i) to continue the Partnership and each Series and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute limited partner of the Partnership generally and as a limited partner of the Partnership associated with each Series, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such limited partner of the Partnership in the Partnership. In the event that a Limited Partner experiences death, legal incompetence or other termination, the estate, legal

​

40

​

representative or successor of such Limited Partner shall be deemed to be the Assignee of the Shares of such Limited Partner.

Section 10.2Tender Offers.

(A)set forth the terms of such Assignment;

(B)evidence the acceptance by the Assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Series Agreement (if any) and any applicable Class Designation;

(D)otherwise be satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Directors.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Board of Directors shall specifically consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Shares may be Assigned:

(i)to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person);

​

41

​

(ii)to any Person if, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would result in the termination of the Partnership or a Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may permit such Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would no longer result in the termination of the Partnership or the Series, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(iii)to any Person if such Assignment would affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then conducting business;

(iv)to any Person not permitted to be an Assignee under applicable law, including applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

(v)if such Assignment would result in the transfer of less than 1 Share (unless such Assignment is of all of the Shares owned by such Limited Partner);

(vi)if such Assignment would result in the retention by such Limited Partner of less than 1 Share; or

(vii)if, in the reasonable belief of the Board of Directors, such Assignment might violate applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shares may be Assigned if, in the determination of the Board of Directors, such Assignment would not be in the best interests of the Partnership generally or a Series. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempt to make any Assignment of Shares in violation of this (b) shall be null and void ab initio.

(c)Assignments made in accordance with this Section 10.3 shall be considered consummated upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions of this Section 10.3.

Section 10.4Substitution.

(a)Only an Assignee to which a Limited Partner has assigned its Shares may be admitted to the Partnership as a limited partner of the Partnership generally or associated with a particular Series, as a Substitute Limited Partner. Such an Assignee may be admitted to the Partnership generally or associated with a particular Series as a Substitute Limited Partner upon the applicable Assignment being considered consummated pursuant to Section 10.3(c) and the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)the Board of Directors or its delegate has reasonably determined that all conditions specified in Section 10.3 have been satisfied and that no adverse effect to the Partnership generally or a Series does or may result from such admission; and

(ii)such Assignee shall have executed a transfer agreement and such other forms as the Board of Directors reasonably may require to determine compliance with this Article X, and shall be deemed to have authorized and appointed with full power of substitution as its, his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its, his or her name, place and stead, the Operating Manager, the Partnership, the applicable Series and

​

42

​

each of their authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact, as the case may be, to take such actions as set forth in Section 3.3.

(b)An Assignee who does not become a Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 10.4 and who desires to make a further Assignment of its, his or her Shares shall be subject to all the provisions of Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as a Limited Partner desiring to make an Assignment of Shares. Failure or refusal of the Board of Directors to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner shall in no way affect the right of such Assignee to receive distributions and the share of the Series II Profits or Series II Losses for tax purposes to which its, his or her predecessor in interest would have been entitled in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 10.5Status of an Assigning Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner that shall Assign all of its, his or her Shares shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership generally and the applicable Series as a Limited Partner, cease to be a Limited Partner and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner.

(a)No Limited Partner shall make any Transfer or Assignment of all or any part of its, his or her Shares if said Transfer or Assignment, when considered with all other Transfers during the same applicable 12 month period, would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in the termination of Series II’s status as a partnership, or cause Series II to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes.

(b)No Limited Partner shall make any Transfer or Assignment of all or any of its, his or her Shares unless the transferee would have been qualified to purchase Shares in the offering of Shares and no transferee may acquire or hold less than the minimum initial purchase amount of $10,000 for Investor Shares, which amount can be modified or waived in the sole discretion of the Partnership or the Operating Manager, unless such Transfer is made on behalf of a retirement plan, or such Transfer is made by gift, inheritance, intra-family transfer, family dissolution, or to Affiliates.

(c)Each Limited Partner that is a legal entity (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) acknowledges that its management shall have a fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of any assignee to all or a portion of its interest as a Limited Partner, and that the management of each Limited Partner that is a legal entity (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) shall not employ, or permit another to employ such funds or assets that are attributable to any assignee of all or a portion of such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the assignee. Each Limited Partner, other than a Benefit Plan Investor, agrees that it will not contract away the foregoing fiduciary duty.

​

43

​

(d)No Limited Partner shall make any Transfer or Assignment of all or any part of its, his or her Shares if said Transfer or Assignment would create a potential REIT qualification problem under the ownership requirements in Section 856(a)(5) or 856(a)(6) of the Code or any other requirements of Sections 856 through 857 of the Code for any REIT Subsidiary.

Section 10.7Elimination or Modification of Restrictions.

Section 10.8Records. The Board of Directors shall cause the Limited Partnership List to be updated to reflect changes in the Limited Partners admitted in accordance with this Agreement, which updates shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement or any Series Agreement (if any).

(iv)continued ownership of the Shares by a Limited Partner may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Partnership generally, a Series, the Operating Manager, Monroe or any of their Affiliates, or may subject the Partnership generally, a Series or any Limited Partner to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal or regulatory consequences;

44

Limited Partners whose Shares are redeemed by the Partnership generally or a Series will not be entitled to a return of any amount of sales load that was charged in connection with such Limited Partner’s purchase of such Shares. If the Partnership or a Series requires the mandatory redemption of any Shares of any Limited Partner, such redemption will not be subject to the redemption limits under the Share Redemption Program, including any redemption limitations set forth therein, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Limited Partner or its assignee whose Shares are being mandatorily redeemed may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, be subject to the Early Redemption Deduction in accordance with the Share Redemption Program. A Limited Partner that shall have all of such Limited Partner’s Shares redeemed by the Partnership generally or a Series shall cease to be a Limited Partner and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner hereunder, at law or in equity.

The Independent Valuation Advisor will assist the Operating Manager in determining the estimated values of the Portfolio Assets of the Partnership generally and the Series and the Administrator will use the estimated values provided as well as inputs from other sources in its calculation of the monthly NAV per Share. The NAV per Share of each Class of the Shares is determined by dividing the Partnership’s total assets (the value of investments, plus cash or other assets, including interest and distributions accrued but not yet received) attributable to such Class less the value of any liabilities (including accrued expenses or distributions) of such Class, by the total number of Shares outstanding of such Class.

(b)The value of the Portfolio Assets of the Partnership generally and the Series will be monitored for material changes and will be updated each month as described in this Section 14.2.

Manager.

(d)The assets of the Partnership generally and the Series will be valued at fair value in a manner consistent with GAAP, as applicable, including Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Section 15.1Generally; Specific Authorization. Whenever a potential material conflict arises among Monroe, the Operating Manager or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership generally, a Series, any of the Limited Partners, on the other hand, any resolution or course of action by the Board of Directors, the Operating Manager or Affiliates of the Operating Manager in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Limited Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein, or of any duty otherwise existing hereunder, at law or in equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by a committee of the Independent Directors (which may be the Audit Committee) (“Special Approval”); (ii) on terms which are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the Partnership generally or a Series, as applicable, than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties; (iii) fair and reasonable to the Partnership generally or a Series, as applicable, taking into account the totality of the relationships among the parties involved, including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership generally or a Series, as applicable; or (iv) approved by the vote of Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding Investor Shares, excluding any Investor Shares owned by Monroe or any of its Affiliates.

The Board of Directors or the Operating Manager may, but is not required to, seek the approval of the resolution of such a conflict of interest from the Audit Committee or any other committee of Independent Directors. Unless the resolution of a conflict is otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, notwithstanding any duty existing at law or in equity, the Board of Directors, the Operating Manager or a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of Independent Directors (which may be the Audit Committee) may consider any factors they determine in their sole discretion to consider when resolving a conflict of interest. Whenever the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager makes a determination to refer or not to refer any potential conflict of interest to a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit

​

50

​

Committee) or to adopt or not to adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received approval of a committee of Independent Directors, then the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, the Series, any Limited Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the Board of Directors and the Operating Manager, as applicable, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard or duty imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or in equity, and the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, in making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in its sole discretion. If the approval of a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) is sought, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) acted in good faith, and if the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or that a member of a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) satisfies the eligibility requirements to be an Independent Director (or a member of the Audit Committee), then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors or Operating Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith. In any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner, by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partners or the Partnership generally or a Series, or otherwise by any Person bound by this Agreement, on its behalf or on behalf of the Partnership generally or a Series, challenging any action by a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) with respect to any matter referred to such committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) for approval by the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, in determining whether the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or whether a member of such committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) satisfies the eligibility requirements to be an Independent Director (or a member of the Audit Committee), the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming the presumption that the committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee), the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith by clear and convincing evidence.

The Operating Manager may, but is not required to, seek approval of the resolution of such a conflict of interest by obtaining Special Approval. In considering whether to grant a Special Approval, Independent Directors may consider any factors they determine to be relevant in their sole discretion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the existence of any conflicts of interest in connection with the following transactions are hereby approved by all of the Limited Partners and each other Person bound by this Agreement and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any such duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise:

(a)The designation of any Person as the Operating Manager and the Partnership’s execution, delivery and performance, and the Series’ performance, of the Operating Agreement, including the Partnership’s and the Series’ payment of the Management Fee, the Performance Fee and any other payment by the Partnership or the Series to the Operating Manager

(a)Whenever the Operating Manager or the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof (including the Audit Committee), makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any Affiliate of the Operating Manager causes the Operating Manager to do so, in its capacity as the Operating Manager as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement, then, unless another express lesser standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Operating Manager, the Board of Directors or such committee or such Affiliates causing the Operating Manager to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different duties or standards (including fiduciary duties or standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or in equity.

(b)Whenever the Operating Manager or its directors, officers, employees or Affiliates make a determination or take or decline to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in their individual capacity as opposed to in their capacity as the Operating Manager or as directors or other employees of the Operating Manager, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the Operating Manager or its directors, officers, employees or Affiliates, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership generally, the Series, any Limited Partner, or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the directors or employees of the Operating Manager, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in their sole and absolute discretion.

Section 15.3Modification of Duties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or expressly required by the Act, the Indemnified Parties shall not have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership generally, the Series, any Limited Partner, or any other Person bound by this Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Indemnified Parties otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Limited Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Parties. Any exculpation or indemnification standards contained herein shall not restore or create, whether in contract or otherwise, any such duties or liabilities.

Section 15.4Corporate Opportunity; Authorization to Compete. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty that would otherwise exist at law or in equity, each of the Indemnified Parties may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on its own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which any of the Indemnified Parties is affiliated or otherwise, and each of the Indemnified Parties may engage in any such activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership generally, the Series, any Affiliate of the Partnership or any Affiliate of a Series, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership, the Series, an Affiliate of the Partnership, an Affiliate of the Series or to any other Limited Partner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty that would otherwise exist at law or in equity, neither the Partnership generally, the Series, any Affiliate of the Partnership generally, any Affiliate of the Series, nor any Limited Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement or the existence of the Partnership or the Series, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership generally,

​

54

​

an Affiliate of the Partnership generally, the Series or an Affiliate of the Series shall not be deemed wrongful or improper or a breach of this Agreement or of any duty otherwise existing hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 15.5Other Duties. The Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that the Partnership and each Series may co-invest with other Monroe funds and accounts managed by Monroe or its Affiliates and that the Indemnified Parties may owe duties (including fiduciary duties) to such other funds or accounts now or in the future and that (i) such duties (including fiduciary duties) may take priority over the duties of such Indemnified Party to the Partnership generally and the Series, including the Limited Partners, and (ii) to the extent an Indemnified Party acts in compliance with its duties (including fiduciary duties) to any such fund or account, any action taken or omission with respect to the Partnership generally or the Series in connection with or arising from such compliance shall be deemed consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Series Agreements (if any), including the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, any Series Agreement (if any) or of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

ARTICLE XVI

LIABILITY LIMITATION, INDEMNIFICATION

AND TRANSACTIONS WITH THE PARTNERSHIP

Section 16.1Limitation of Limited Partner Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Limited Partner will have personal liability for any of the obligations or liabilities of the Partnership generally or any Series solely by reason of being a Limited Partner or holder of Shares of the Partnership generally or being associated with or owning any Shares of any Series. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Limited Partners associated with a Series will have no personal liability for any of such Series’ obligations or liabilities solely by reason of being a Limited Partner associated with such Series, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Limited Partners will only be liable for the debts and obligations of the Partnership, in their capacity as a holder of an interest in the Partnership with respect to the applicable Series or the Partnership generally, to the extent of their Capital Contributions and pro rata share of any of the Partnership’s undistributed profits, subject to the Limited Partners’ obligations to return distributions under the Act.

Section 16.2Limitation of Liability.

(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Indemnified Parties will be liable to the Partnership generally, the Series, any Limited Partner, or any other Person bound by this Agreement for (i) any losses due to any act or omission by any Indemnified Party in connection with the conduct of the business of the Partnership generally or the Series unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, such Indemnified Party’s act or omission constitutes actual fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) any losses due to any action or omission by any other Person, (iii) any losses due to any mistake, action, inaction, negligence, dishonesty, actual fraud or bad faith of any broker, placement agent or other agent as provided in this Agreement or (iv) any change in U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income tax laws, or in interpretations thereof, as they apply to the Partnership generally, the Series, or the Limited

​

55

​

Partners, whether the change occurs through legislative, judicial or administrative action. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 16.1, no Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership generally, any Series, any other Limited Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement.

(b)Each Indemnified Party may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the advice or opinion of such Persons as to matters that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

(c)Each Indemnified Party shall, in the performance of such Person’s duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon records of the Partnership generally and the Series.

(d)Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 16.2 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 16.2 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 such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 16.3Indemnification.

(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except in the case of actual fraud or willful misconduct, the Partnership generally or the applicable Series will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind, including legal fees and amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnified Party and arise out of or in connection with the business of the Partnership generally, the business of a Series or the performance by the Indemnified Party of any of its responsibilities under this Agreement, the Operating Agreement or the Administration Agreement ; provided that an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if the Indemnified Party’s action or omission constitutes actual fraud or willful misconduct; provided further that such claims, liabilities, damages, losses costs or expenses did not arise solely out of a dispute between or among the officers, directors, employees or partners of Monroe or its Affiliates.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Party who is indemnified pursuant to Section 16.3(a) in appearing at, participating in or defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership generally or the applicable Series prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.3, the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the

​

56

​

Partnership or the applicable Series of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 16.3.

(c)The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 16.3 shall not be exclusive of any rights to which any Indemnified Party may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, bylaw, contract or agreement. The indemnification and advancement obligations of the Partnership generally and the Series to an Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnifiable amounts shall be reduced by any indemnification payments actually received by such Indemnified Party from any of Monroe or any subsidiary of Monroe or any potential, current or former Portfolio Asset with respect to the same indemnifiable amounts. Solely for purposes of clarification, and without expanding the scope of indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.3, the Limited Partners intend that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as between (a) Portfolio Assets and (b) the Partnership generally and/or the Series, this Section 16.3 shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with any applicable Portfolio Asset having primary liability and the Partnership generally and the Series, as applicable, having only secondary liability. The possibility that an Indemnified Party may receive indemnification payments from a Portfolio Asset shall not restrict the Partnership generally or the Series from making payments under this Section 16.3 to an Indemnified Party that is otherwise eligible for such payments, but such payments by the Partnership generally or the Series are not intended to relieve any Portfolio Asset from any liability that it would otherwise have to make indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party and, if an Indemnified Party that has received indemnification payments from the Partnership generally or the Series actually receives duplicative indemnification payments from a Portfolio Asset for the same indemnifiable amounts, such Indemnified Party shall repay the Partnership generally or the Series, as applicable, to the extent of such duplicative payments. If, notwithstanding the intention of this Section 16.3, a Portfolio Asset’s obligation to make indemnification payments to an Indemnified Party is relieved or reduced under applicable law as a result of payments made by the Partnership generally or the Series pursuant to this Section 16.3, or if otherwise necessary to effect the intention of the parties hereto in this Section 16.3, the Partnership generally and the Series shall have, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a right of subrogation against (or contribution from) such Portfolio Asset for amounts paid by the Partnership or the Series to an Indemnified Party that relieved or reduced the obligation of such Portfolio Asset to such Indemnified Party. As used in this Section 16.3, “indemnification” payments or obligations and “indemnifiable” amounts made or to be made by a Portfolio Asset shall be deemed to include (i) advancement of expenses in connection with indemnification obligations, (ii) payments made or to be made by any successor to the indemnification obligations of such Portfolio Asset and (iii) equivalent payments made or to be made by or on behalf of such Portfolio Asset (or such successor) pursuant to an insurance policy or similar arrangement.

(d)The indemnification provided by this Section 16.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Limited Partners, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as an Indemnified Party and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to serve in such

​

57

​

capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Party.

(e)The Partnership generally and the Series may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Operating Manager or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the Indemnified Parties and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the activities of the Partnership generally or the Series or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership generally or the Series, regardless of whether the Partnership generally or the Series would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f)The provisions of this Section 16.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(g)No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 16.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnified Party to be indemnified by the Partnership generally or the Series, nor the obligations of the Partnership generally or the Series to indemnify any such Indemnified Party under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.3 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 such claims may arise or be asserted.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any document (including any side letters or similar agreements), if, at any time following any Limited Partner’s acquisition of its interest in the Partnership, it is discovered that such Limited Partner’s investment is a Proscribed Investment or would cause the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or their respective Affiliates or service providers, to be in violation of applicable anti-money laundering, anti-corruption, or economic sanctions laws, the Partnership is authorized to take all steps it deems necessary to comply with the laws applicable to the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or their respective Affiliates or service providers, which may include freezing and blocking such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership or such Limited Partner being deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership effective immediately, and

​

64

​

such Limited Partner shall have no claim arising out of such actions for any form of damages against the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees or agents.

(c)The Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager or their respective Affiliates or service providers, may request additional information about any Limited Partner’s beneficial owners, control persons and/or anyone authorized to give instructions on the Limited Partner’s behalf, to comply with applicable anti-money laundering or economic sanctions laws. The Limited Partner shall provide to the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager or their respective Affiliates and service providers, any information they reasonably deem necessary to comply with such laws, and if the Limited Partner fails to provide such information, the Partnership is authorized to take all steps it deems necessary to comply with the laws applicable to the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or their respective Affiliates or service providers, and such Limited Partner shall have no claim arising out of such actions for any form of damages against the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees or agents.

(d)The Partnership, the Series, or the Operating Manager may release confidential information about any Limited Partner and, if applicable, any beneficial owner(s) of such Limited Partner to proper authorities or third parties performing anti-money laundering or economic sanctions diligence on the Partnership, if the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or their respective Affiliates or service providers, in their sole discretion, determine that it is in the best interests of the Partnership, the Series, the Operating Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates to provide such information for purposes of complying with regulatory or law enforcement requests and/or applicable anti-money laundering, anti-corruption, or economic sanctions laws.

Section 19.15No Third-Party Beneficiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the Indemnified Parties, there are no intended or unintended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement (it being understood that each Indemnified Party is an express third-party beneficiary with respect to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to them as if they were parties to this Agreement).

ARTICLE XX

REIT PROVISIONS

Section 20.1Asset Acquisition Program. The Partnership generally and the Series may (but is not required to) carry out the asset acquisition program by making a portion of its acquisitions through one or more REITs (each, a “REIT Subsidiary”).

Section 20.2Transfers and Ownership of Interests in a REIT Subsidiary.

(a)To the extent permitted by law, but notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit II shall be applied to the Partnership generally and the Series in the same manner as to any REIT Subsidiary mutatis mutandis. Specifically, but without limiting the application of the provisions of Exhibit II, in the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner is Transferred and (ii) as a result of

​

65

​

such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held, directly or indirectly, by the Partnership and/or Series would otherwise be subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II, then provisions similar to those set forth in Exhibit II shall apply to Shares to which such purported Transfer relates. The Limited Partners agree that the Shares that were the subject of the purported Transfer shall be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary in such amount as shall be sufficient to ensure that no equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary shall be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement. In the event of a transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust (or similar), provisions comparable to Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.2 of Exhibit II shall apply to the transferred Shares and such trust. The intention of this Section 20.2 is to cause each Limited Partner to bear the consequences of direct and indirect Transfers that relate to such Limited Partner’s Shares that otherwise would have caused equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary to be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement.

(b)In the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner is Transferred and (ii) notwithstanding Section 20.2(a), above, as a result of such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held by the Partnership generally and/or Series are subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II, then (A) the Limited Partner who is the transferee of the Shares or whose Shares are the subject of the Transfer of the direct or indirect ownership interest, as the case may be, shall (1) repay to the Partnership generally and/or Series the amount of any distributions received by it from the Partnership and/or Series that are attributable to any interests in such REIT Subsidiary that are held by the Partnership generally and/or Series, that are subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II and that were received on or after the date that such shares became subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II, and (2) have its right to receive future distributions and redemption proceeds pursuant to this Agreement reduced by an amount equal to the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received by the Charitable Trust with respect to such Shares subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II, (B) if applicable, the allocations of income, gain, loss or expense of the Partnership and/or Series pursuant to Article IX shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the rights and obligations of such transferee or Limited Partner as described in clause (A) of this sentence and (C) for purposes of determining such transferee’s or Limited Partner’s Constructive Ownership or Beneficial Ownership of the interests in such REIT Subsidiary, any interests in the REIT Subsidiary that otherwise would be Constructively Owned or Beneficially Owned by such transferee or Limited Partner (but for the transfer to the Charitable Trust) shall be reduced by such number of Shares subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit II.

(c)If, following the automatic divestment and transfers provided for in this Section 20.2 and Exhibit II, any REIT Subsidiary would, but for the application of this Section 20.2(c), be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(a)(6) of the Code at any time during the last half of any taxable year after the first year for which such REIT Subsidiary made or intends to make an election to be taxable as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code, distributions otherwise payable to the Limited Partners and net income or gain otherwise allocable, if applicable, to Limited Partners pursuant to Article IX shall be decreased to the extent necessary to ensure that any REIT Subsidiary is not “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(a)(6) of the Code at any time during the last half of any taxable year after the first year for which such REIT Subsidiary made or intends to make an election to be taxable as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code, and such net income or gain shall instead be allocated to, or such cash

​

66

​

distributed to, the applicable other Limited Partners. Any reduction in allocations, if applicable, or distributions pursuant to this Section 20.2(c) shall be made proportionately by each of the Partnership generally and/or Series and among the Limited Partners therein. Allocations or distributions, as the case may be, in subsequent taxable years shall be made to the Limited Partners as necessary to cause the aggregate amount of net income and gain allocated or distributions made to each Limited Partner to be equal to or more closely approximate the aggregate amount that would have been allocated or distributed to each such Limited Partner if the adjustments required by this Section 20.2(c) had not been made, but only to the extent consistent with the first sentence of this Section 20.2(c).

(d)Each Limited Partner shall comply with any requirements to provide information to the Partnership and the Series in accordance with Section 2.1.4 of Exhibit II or the principles thereof as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(e)For the purposes of this Section 20.2 the terms “Beneficial Ownership” (and “Beneficially Owned”), “Charitable Beneficiary,” “Charitable Trust,” “Constructive Ownership” (and “Constructively Owned”) and “Transfer” have the meanings set forth in Exhibit II.

5.SHARE REDEMPTION PROGRAM CONSIDERATIONS (Select only one)

The Share Redemption Program of the Partnership (“Share Redemption Program”) contains limitations on the number of Shares that can be redeemed under the Share Redemption Program during any calendar quarter. Redemption requests of certain limited partners of the Partnership (“Limited Partners”) are also subject to the redemption percentage limitations. In addition to these limitations, neither Series can guarantee that it will have sufficient funds to accommodate all redemption requests made in any applicable redemption period and the Partnership may cause each Series to redeem fewer Shares than have been requested in any particular calendar quarter, or none at all. If the quarterly volume limitation is reached in any particular calendar quarter or the Partnership’s board of directors (the “Board”) determines to redeem fewer Shares than have been requested to be redeemed in any particular calendar quarter, Shares submitted for redemption for such calendar quarter will be redeemed on a pro rata basis after each Series has redeemed all Shares for which redemption has been requested due to death, disability or divorce and other limited exceptions. If redemption requests are reduced on a pro rata basis after each Series has redeemed all Shares for which redemption has been requested due to death, disability or divorce or other limited exceptions, you may elect (at the time of your redemption request) to either withdraw your entire request for redemption or have your request honored on a pro rata basis. If you wish to have the remainder of your initial request redeemed, you must resubmit a new redemption request for the remaining amount. Please select one of the following options below. If an option is not selected, your redemption request will be processed on a pro rata basis, if needed.

Process my redemption request on a pro rata basis.

Withdraw (do not process) my entire redemption request if amount will be reduced on a pro rata basis.

6.AUTHORIZATION AND SIGNATURE

​

Please refer to the LPA and the Partnership’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, as amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, for a description of the current terms of the Share Redemption Program. There are various limitations on your ability to request that the Partnership redeems your Shares, including, subject to certain exceptions, the Early Redemption Deduction (as defined in the LPA) if your Shares have been outstanding for less than one (1) year. In addition, redemptions under the Share Redemption Program will be limited in any calendar quarter to 5.00% of the Partnership’s outstanding Shares (by aggregate net asset value) as of the last calendar day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Board may determine to make exceptions to, amend or suspend the Share Redemption Program without Limited Partner’s approval, all of which will be, to the extent required under the LPA, promptly disclosed in such manner as is required under the LPA. Redemption of Shares, when requested, will generally be made quarterly. All requests for redemption must be received in good order by the redemption deadline, which is no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the redemption window of the applicable quarter, as published on our website or our filings with the SEC, which we generally expect to be 10 business days following the publication of NAV for the immediately preceding quarter (“Redemption Deadline”). A Limited Partner may withdraw his or her redemption request by notifying the transfer agent, directly or through the Limited Partner’s financial intermediary, on the Partnership’s toll-free,

​

​

​

automated telephone line, (833) 321-0316 . Redemption requests must be cancelled before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the applicable Redemption Deadline. The Partnership cannot guarantee that it will have sufficient available funds or that the Partnership will otherwise be able to accommodate any or all requests made in any applicable redemption period. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of redemption requests and notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Partnership, in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding.

ARTICLE II

REIT MATTERS

Section 2.1Shares.

Section 2.1.1 Ownership Limitations. During the period commencing on the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date, but subject to Section 2.3:

​

​

​

​

(i)(1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, (2) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit and (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.

(ii)No Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares would result in the REITCo being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership that would result in the REITCo owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the REITCo from such tenant would cause the REITCo to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).

(iii)Any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

(b)Transfer in Trust. If any Transfer of Shares occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Shares in violation of Section 2.1.1(a)(i) or (ii),

(i)then that number of Shares the Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 2.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 2.2, effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such Shares; or

(ii)if the Transfer to the Charitable Trust described in clause (i) of this sentence would not be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 2.1.1(a)(i) or (ii), then the Transfer of that number of Shares that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 2.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

To the extent that, upon a transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1.1(b), a violation of any provision of this Article II would nonetheless be continuing (for example where the ownership of Shares by a single Charitable Trust would violate the 100 stockholder requirement applicable to REITs), then Shares shall be transferred to that number of Charitable Trusts, each having a distinct Charitable Trustee and a Charitable Beneficiary or Beneficiaries that are distinct

​

​

​

from those of each other Charitable Trust, such that there is no violation of any provision of this Article II.

Section 2.1.2 Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors or its designee (including any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors) shall at any time determine that a Transfer or other event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 2.1.1 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Shares in violation of Section 2.1.1 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the REITCo to redeem Shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the REITCo or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers or other events in violation of Section 2.1.1 shall automatically result in the Transfer to the Charitable Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or its designee.

Section 2.1.3 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares that will or may violate Section 2.1.1(a), or any Person who would have owned Shares that resulted in a Transfer to the Charitable Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.1(b), shall immediately give written notice to the REITCo of such event, or in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice, and shall provide to the REITCo such other information as the REITCo may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer on the REITCo’s status as a REIT.

Section 2.1.4 Owners Required To Provide Information. From the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:

(a)every owner of more than five percent (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or as otherwise required by the Board of Directors) of the outstanding Shares, within thirty (30) days after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the REITCo stating the name and address of such owner, the number of Shares Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such Shares are held. Each such owner shall provide to the REITCo such additional information as the REITCo may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the REITCo’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit and the other restrictions set forth herein; and

(b)each Person who is a Beneficial or Constructive Owner of Shares and each Person (including the Stockholder of record) who is holding Shares for a Beneficial or Constructive Owner shall provide to the REITCo such information as the REITCo may request, in order to determine the REITCo’s status as a REIT and to comply with requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

​

​

​

Section 2.1.5 Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Section 2.6, nothing contained in this Section 2.1 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the REITCo and the interests of its Stockholders in preserving the REITCo’s status as a REIT.

Section 2.1.6 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or any definition contained in Article I, the Board of Directors may determine the application of the provisions of this Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Section 2.1 or 2.2 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Charter fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors may determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Article I or Sections 2.1 or 2.2. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board of Directors may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 2.1.2) acquired Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares in violation of Section 2.1.1, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the Shares which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such Shares based upon the relative number of the Shares held by each such Person.

Section 2.1.7 Exceptions.

(a)Subject to Section 2.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and the Common Share Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if:

(i)the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary for the Board of Directors to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of such Shares will violate Section 2.1.1(a)(ii);

(ii)such Person does not and represents that it will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the REITCo (or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the REITCo) that would cause the REITCo to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a tenant from whom the REITCo (or an entity owned or controlled by the REITCo) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect the REITCo’s ability to qualify as a REIT, shall not be treated as a tenant of the REITCo); and

(iii)such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions

​

​

​

contained in Sections 2.1.1 through 2.1.6) will result in such Shares being automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trust in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.2.

(b)Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 2.1.7(a), the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the REITCo’s status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.

(c)Subject to Section 2.1.1(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a public offering or a private placement of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering or private placement.

(d)The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder: (i) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (ii) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Share Ownership Limit.

Section 2.1.8 Increase or Decrease in Aggregate Share Ownership and Common Share Ownership Limits. Subject to Section 2.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors may from time to time increase or decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and increase or decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for all other Persons. No decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit will be effective for any Person whose percentage of ownership in Shares is in excess of such decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, as applicable, until such time as such Person’s percentage of ownership in Shares equals or falls below the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Shares in excess of such percentage ownership of Shares will be in violation of the Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and, provided further, that the new Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit would not allow five or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49.9% in value of the outstanding Shares.

Section 2.2Transfer of Shares in Trust.

Section 2.2.1 Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 2.1.1(b) that would result in a Transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust, such Shares shall be deemed to have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee as trustee of a Charitable Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such Transfer to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the Transfer to the Charitable Trust

​

​

​

pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b). The Charitable Trustee shall be appointed by the REITCo and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the REITCo and any Prohibited Owner. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the REITCo as provided in Section 2.2.6.

Section 2.2.2 Status of Shares Held by the Charitable Trustee. Shares held by the Charitable Trustee shall continue to be issued and outstanding Shares. The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the Shares held by the Charitable Trustee. The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any Shares held in trust by the Charitable Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends or other distributions and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the Shares held in the Charitable Trust.

Section 2.2.3 Dividend and Voting Rights. The Charitable Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to the discovery by the REITCo that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or other distribution to the Charitable Trustee upon demand and any dividend or other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Charitable Trustee. Any dividends or other distributions so paid over to the Charitable Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust and, subject to applicable law, effective as of the date that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee, the Charitable Trustee shall have the authority (at the Charitable Trustee’s sole discretion) (a) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the REITCo that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee and (b) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Charitable Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the REITCo has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Charitable Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article II, until the REITCo has received notification that Shares have been Transferred into a Charitable Trust, the REITCo shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other Stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of Stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes and determining the other rights of Stockholders.

Section 2.2.4 Sale of Shares by Charitable Trustee. Within 20 days of receiving notice from the REITCo that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trust, the Charitable Trustee shall sell the Shares held in the Charitable Trust to a Person, designated by the Charitable Trustee, whose ownership of the Shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 2.1.1(a). Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 2.2.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (a) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the Shares or, if the Prohibited Owner did not give value for the Shares in connection with the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust (e.g., in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the Shares on the day of the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust and (b) the price per share received by the Charitable Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the Shares held in the Charitable Trust.

​

​

​

The Charitable Trustee may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 2.2.3 of this Article II. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the REITCo that Shares have been Transferred to the Charitable Trustee, such Shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such Shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Charitable Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such Shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, such excess shall be paid to the Charitable Trustee upon demand.

Section 2.2.5 Purchase Right in Shares Transferred to the Charitable Trustee. Shares Transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the REITCo, or its designee, at a price per Share equal to the lesser of (a) the price per Share in the transaction that resulted in such Transfer to the Charitable Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (b) the Market Price on the date the REITCo, or its designee, accepts such offer. The REITCo shall have the right to accept such offer until the Charitable Trustee has sold the Shares held in the Charitable Trust pursuant to Section 2.2.4. Upon such a sale to the REITCo, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner. The REITCo may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 2.2.3 of this Article II. The REITCo may pay the amount of such reduction to the Charitable Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Section 2.2.6 Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Charitable Trustee, the REITCo shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Charitable Trust such that (a) Shares held in the Charitable Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.1(a) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (b) each such organization must be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and contributions to each such organization must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code.

Section 2.4Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the REITCo or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the REITCo or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

Section 2.5Determinations by Board of Directors. The determination as to any interpretation or resolution of any ambiguity with respect to any provision or other organizational documents of the REITCo, made by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors consistent with the Charter, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the REITCo and every holder of Shares.

​

​

​

Section 2.6REIT Qualification. If the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the REITCo to attempt to, or continue to qualify as a REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the REITCo’s REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The Board of Directors also may determine that compliance with any restriction or limitation on stock ownership and Transfers set forth in Article II is no longer required for REIT qualification.
