Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Additional Partner that acquires Additional Units pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not acquire any interest in and may not exercise or otherwise participate in any Rights pursuant to the Rights Agreements unless they are expressly granted such rights. (i) Upon issuance by either of the General Partner or the Public REIT of shares of its common stock pursuant to the CSA or in settlement of any dispute relating to the CSA, the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner an equal number of Common Units and (ii) upon issuance of shares of its preferred stock pursuant to the CSA, the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner an equal number of Preferred Units with terms that are equivalent to the terms of such shares of preferred stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Partnership Agreement, if there are one or more actual or deemed distributions which would otherwise be treated as giving rise to a “disguised sale” under Section 707 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, such distributions shall be treated as having been made in reimbursement of the General Partner’s preformation capital expenditures as described in Reg. 1.707-4 (d) and Rev.
