[REVERSE SIDE OF CERTIFICATE]

 

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, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each class of stock which the Corporation has authority to issue and (i) the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent that they have been set and (ii) the authority of the board of directors of the Corporation to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the charter of the Corporation, as may be amended from time to time.

 

The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s charter, (i) (a) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account any other Capital Stock Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person, in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, (b) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit and (c) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder; (ii) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account any other Capital Stock Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person, to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Series A Preferred Stock would result in the Corporation (a) 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 a taxable year) or (b) being treated as a “pension held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year); (iii) no person shall Transfer shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the extent such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock being beneficially owned by fewer than one hundred (100) Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code); (iv) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account any other Capital Stock Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person, to the extent such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership would cause the Corporation to Constructively Own ten percent (10%) or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the Corporation’s real property within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (v) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account any other Capital Stock Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person, to the extent that such ownership would cause any independent contractor of the Corporation to not be treated as such under Section 856(d)(3) of the Code; and (vi) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account any other Capital Stock Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person, to the extent such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership would otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns (or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own) shares of Series A Preferred Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation (or in the case of an attempted transaction, to provide the corporation with at least 15 days’ prior written notice). If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess or in violation will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Charitable 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. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the charter of the Corporation, 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 Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office.
