The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters.

Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 received from the SEC and advise the other Party of any oral comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 received from the SEC. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Form S-4.

Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Company Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. Parent shall also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, NYSE rules and regulations, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock and New Parent Preferred Stock (or depositary shares in respect thereof) in the Company Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of Company Common Shares and Company Series D Preferred Shares as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions. Parent shall also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the new Parent OP Interests in connection with the Partnership Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company, the Partnership and the holders of the Partnership OP Units as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions. The Parent Parties shall have the right, to the extent necessary (and following consultation with the Company), to prepare and file a Form S-4 with respect to the new Parent OP Interests (the “OP Unit Form S-4”) to be issued in connection with the Partnership Merger. The Company Parties will cooperate in the preparation of the OP Unit Form S-4 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Parent Parties determine to prepare and file the OP Unit Form S-4, (x) the Parent Parties shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable after such determination, the OP Unit Form S-4, (y) all references in this Agreement to “Form S-4” (including this Section 7.1 and Section 8.1(b)) shall be deemed to refer to the Form S-4 and the OP Unit Form S-4, collectively.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders and, unless the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 7.7, the Company Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Merger Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Parent and Purchaser each agree that at the Company Stockholder Meeting, all of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of Company Common Stock otherwise owned by Parent, Purchaser or their respective controlled affiliates will be voted in favor of the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting if this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.1.
