 interest of any class or series, the Board is authorized, without shareholder approval, subject to the terms of the Statement of Preferences, to amend or supplement the Declaration as it deems necessary or appropriate. The Board may from time to time divide or combine the shares of beneficial interest into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in such shares.

Our Board may increase the number of authorized preferred shares or cause the issuance of additional shares of any series of preferred shares, including Series A Preferred Shares, subject to the terms of the Statement of Preferences. The Statement of Preferences provides that an increase in the number of authorized preferred shares or the issuance of additional shares of any series of preferred shares, including Series A Preferred Shares, pursuant to the Governing Documents will not in and of itself be considered to adversely affect the rights and preferences of the preferred shares and holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, by virtue of their acquisition of Series A Preferred Shares, will be deemed to have authorized such issuances by the Board. The Governing Instrument does not require the consent of holders of preferred shares, including the Series A Preferred Shares, for the Board to authorize and issue additional shares of beneficial interest ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

As a result of the above, although our Board does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize the issuance of shares of beneficial interest with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our shares.

Also, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of our shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as private foundations) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made).
