     The Series A Preferred Shares represented by this Certificate are subject to restrictions on
Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer. Subject to certain further restrictions and
except as expressly provided in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as amended, no Person may
Beneficially or Constructively Own in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is
more restrictive) of the Trust’s Series A Preferred Shares and no Person may Beneficially or
Constructively Own Shares with an aggregate value in excess of 8.75% of the value of the
outstanding Shares. If these or the other restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated, the
Series A Preferred Shares represented hereby will automatically become Excess Shares or a purported
Transfer in violation of the restrictions could be void ab initio. In addition, the
Trust may take other actions, including redeeming Shares upon the terms and conditions specified by
the Trustees in their sole and absolute discretion if the Trustees determine that ownership or a
Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above.

     The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on ownership and
transfer contained in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust 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. A copy of the Declaration of Trust and information about the restrictions in
effect will be furnished by the Trust to any holder of this certificate upon request and without
charge. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Declaration of Trust
of the Trust. If the restrictions on ownership or transfer are violated, the securities
represented hereby will be designated and treated as Excess Shares which will be held in the
Charitable Trust by the Trust.

     The Trust will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge a full statement of
the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends or distributions, qualifications and the terms and conditions of
redemption of the shares of each class authorized to issue and, with respect to the classes of
shares which may be issued in series, the differences in the relative rights and preferences
between the shares of each series, to the extent they have been set. Such request may be made to
the Secretary of the Trust or to the Transfer Agent.
