FALCON FINANCIAL
INVESTMENT TRUST

 

The trust will furnish to any Shareholder on
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 terms and
conditions of redemption of the shares of each class which the Trust is
authorized to issue, of the differences in the relative rights and preferences
between the shares of each series of a preferred or special class which the
Trust is authorized to issue in series, to the extent they have been set, and
of the authority of the Board of Trustees to set the relative rights and
preferences of subsequent series of a preferred or special class of
shares.  Such request may be made to the
secretary of the Trust or to its transfer agent.

 

The shares represented by this certificate are
subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership and Transfer for the purpose of
the Trust’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a
“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Subject to certain further restrictions and
except as expressly provided in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, (i) no Person
may Beneficially Own Common Shares of the Trust in excess of 9.8 percent (in
value or number of shares) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Trust unless
such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit
shall be applicable); (ii) with respect to any class or series of Preferred
Shares, no Person may Beneficially Own more than 9.8 percent (in value or
number of shares) of the outstanding shares of such class or series of
Preferred Shares of the Trust, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in
which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may
Beneficially Own Shares that would result in the Trust being “closely held”
under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust to fail to
qualify as a REIT; (iv) no Disqualified Person other than an Exempted
Disqualified Person may beneficially own any Shares and (v) no Person may Transfer
Shares if such Transfer would result in Shares of the Trust being owned by
fewer than 100 Persons.  Any Person who
Beneficially Owns or attempts to Beneficially Own Shares which cause or will
cause a Person to Beneficially Own Shares in excess or in violation of the
above limitations must immediately notify the Trust.  If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated,
the Shares represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Charitable
Trustee of a Charitable Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable
Beneficiaries.  In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the
restrictions described above may be void ab
initio.  A Person who
attempts to Beneficially Own Shares in violation of the ownership limitations
described above shall have no claim, cause of action, or any recourse
whatsoever against a transferor of such Shares.  All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in
the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, 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 Shares of the Trust on request and without charge.
