SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S CHARTER, (I) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF % (IN VALUE OR NUMBER OF SHARES) OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (II) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IN EXCESS OF % OF THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (III) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN CAPITAL STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (IV) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS.

(b) The Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall not be liable to any holder of SPE LLC Interests for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(c) So long as some portion of the Merger Consideration is in the form of OP Units, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall constitute an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) any payment of cash or REIT Shares for SPE LLC Interests of such holder shall be treated as a sale of such SPE LLC Interests by the holder and a purchase of such SPE LLC Interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash and/or REIT Shares so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4), and (ii) each such holder of SPE LLC Interests who accepts cash and/or REIT Shares shall explicitly agree and consent (the “Sale Consent”) to such treatment in their Consent Form as a condition to electing such consideration. To the extent the Operating Partnership acquires any SPE LLC Interests as described above, or previously acquired such interests, for United States federal income tax purposes the receipt by the Operating Partnership of the portion of property attributable to such SPE LLC Interests shall be treated as a distribution by the SPE LLC in redemption of such SPE LLC Interests. Notwithstanding Section 1.05(b) and any holder’s election as to the form of their Merger Consideration, if any holder (other than a non-accredited investor) fails to execute a Sale Consent prior to the Closing, such holder’s Merger Consideration shall consist solely of OP Units. Any cash paid as the Merger Consideration to a non-accredited investor for a SPE LLC Interests shall be paid only after the receipt of a Sale Consent from such holder.
