In this context, "restriction" includes the right of the Company to buy back the Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 2(a) above. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Stock is purchased, rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an "83(b) Election") with the Internal Revenue Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C within thirty (30) days from the date the Stock is purchased. Even if the fair market value of the Stock at the time of the execution of this Agreement equals the amount paid for the Stock, the 83(b) Election must be made to avoid income under Section 83(a) of the Code in the future. Purchaser understands that failure to file such an 83(b) Election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax consequences for Purchaser. Purchaser further understands that an additional copy of such 83(b) Election is required to be filed with his or her federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that it is solely Purchaser's obligation and responsibility to timely file such 83(b) Election, and neither the Company nor the Company's legal or financial advisors shall have any obligation or responsibility with respect to such filing. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Stock hereunder and does not purport to be complete. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has directed Purchaser to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which Purchaser may reside, and the tax consequences of Purchaser's death. Purchaser assumes all responsibility for filing an 83(b) Election and paying all taxes resulting from such election or the lapse of the restrictions on the Stock.

Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of JCN Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder's JCN Common Stock. Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) elects to receive cash and does not dissent shall be referred to herein as the "Cash Election Shares." Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) either does not submit an Election Form or does not elect to receive cash and does not dissent, shall be collectively referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Any of the elections set forth in the foregoing paragraph shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting (or such other time and date as Highwoods and JCN may mutually agree, including as a result of any adjournment or postponement of the JCN Shareholders Meeting) (the "Election Deadline") which is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting a subsequent Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of JCN Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares unless the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and such Election Form is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Exchange Agent shall promptly notify JCN of any defect in an Election Form other than an immaterial defect disregarded in good faith by the Exchange Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, neither Highwoods nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form. Within three business days after the Election Deadline, Highwoods shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of JCN Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms; provided, however, if the amount of cash that would be issued upon the conversion of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the amount by which the Cash Amount exceeds the Dissenting Share Amount (the "Maximum Cash Election Amount"), then the Exchange Agent shall convert a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, which Cash Election Shares shall be selected pro rata from among all of the holders thereof, based upon the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares held by each of such holders, such that the amount of cash that will be issued in the Merger to satisfy the non-converted Cash Election Shares equals as closely as practicable the Maximum Cash Election Amount. Highwoods shall, at least two business days prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting, communicate to JCN the aggregate allocation of stock and cash, the amount of stock and cash going to each of JCN's shareholders, and the method in which such amounts were calculated.
