	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 of the Corporation (the “Board”) 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, 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.
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership,
Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance
of its status as 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 Charter, (i) no Person
shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of 9.8% in value or
number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series
of Capital Stock of the Corporation excluding any outstanding shares of Capital Stock not treated
as outstanding for federal income tax purposes, or such other percentage determined by the Board in
accordance with the Charter, unless such person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted
Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person shall Beneficially Own shares of Capital Stock to
the extent that such Beneficial Ownership of Capital Stock would result in the Corporation being
“closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the
ownership interest is held during the last half of the taxable year; (iii) 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 (as determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code);
(iv) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock to the extent
that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Capital Stock would cause the
Corporation to Constructively Own 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant (other than a
TRS) of the Corporation’s real property within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; and
(v) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock to the extent
such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock would otherwise
cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code, including, but not limited to,
as a result of any “eligible independent contractor” (as defined in Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the
Code) that operates a “qualified lodging facility” (as defined in section 856(e)(6)(D)(i) of the
Code) on behalf of a TRS failing to qualify as such. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends
to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock which causes
or may 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
a proposed or attempted transaction, must give at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the
Corporation. If any of the restrictions on Transfer, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership
set forth in (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock in excess or in
violation of such limitations will be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust for the
benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary and the Person shall acquire no rights in such shares of
Capital Stock; provided, however, that if such automatic transfer would not prevent a violation of
such limitations, then the Transfer of the number of shares of Capital Stock that would otherwise
cause such violation will be void ab initio and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in
such shares of Capital Stock. In addition, the Corporation may take other actions, including
redeeming shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board, in its sole and absolute
discretion, if the Board determines that Beneficial Ownership, Constructive 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. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Charter, a copy of
which, including the restrictions on Transfer and Beneficial Ownership or Constructive 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.
