IMPORTANT NOTICE


 


The Corporation will
furnish to any stockholder, on request and without charge, a full statement of the information required by Section 2-211(b) of
the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland with respect to the designations and any preferences,
conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications,
and terms and conditions of redemption of the stock of each class which the Corporation has authority to issue and, if the Corporation
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 set, and (ii) the authority of the Board of Directors to set such rights and
preferences of subsequent series.  The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified
in its entirety by reference to the charter of the Corporation (the “Charter”), a copy of which will be sent without
charge to each stockholder who so requests.  Such request must be made to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal
office or to its Transfer Agent.


 


The shares represented
by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose,
among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided
in the Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.8 percent (in value
or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such Person is exempt from
such limitation or is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially
Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of 9.8 percent (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive)
of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder
Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the
Corporation being “closely held” under 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 cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person
may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock being beneficially owned by fewer than
100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares
of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess
or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation or, in the case of such a proposed or attempted
transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership as set forth in (i)
through (iii) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations will be automatically
transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may
redeem shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors
determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence
of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. The restrictions
on transfer and ownership summarized above shall be applied to the Series D Preferred Stock separately and without regard to any
other series or class. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Charter, as the same may be amended
from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of
Capital Stock on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its
principal office.
