IMPORTANT NOTICE 




     The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the
purpose of the Trust’s maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain exceptions, no Person
may (1) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of 9.8% of the
value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Trust; or (2) Beneficially Own Equity Stock that would
result in the Trust’s being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code. Any Person who
attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the above
limitations must immediately notify the Trust. All capitalized terms in this legend have the
meanings defined in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as the same may be further amended from time
to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to
each shareholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, the shares of
Equity Stock represented hereby will be automatically converted for shares of Excess Stock which
will be held in trust by the Trust.



     A full statement or summary of the designations and any preferences, conversion and other
rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or distributions, qualifications,
and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each class which the Trust is authorized to
issue and, if the Trust is authorized to issue any preferred or special class in series, (i) the
differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent
they have been set, and (ii) the authority of the Board of Trustees to set the relative rights and
preferences of subsequent series of capital shares, will be furnished to any shareholder, without
charge, upon request to the Secretary of the Trust at the Trust’s principal office or to the
Trust’s transfer agent.
