Series A Preferred Stock On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as soon as practicable after the receipt of the approvals of the Board of Directors of the Company and the stockholders of the Company, including the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, referred to in Paragraph 5, the Company will amend the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock so that, as amended, the Series A Preferred Stock will have only such rights, preferences and privileges set forth on Exhibit A hereto (as so amended, the "New Preferred Stock"). As set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the New Preferred Stock will offer the holders thereof the options set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(c) below, as such holder may elect. All references herein to the Series A Preferred Stock or the New Preferred Stock shall be deemed to include all rights to dividends or other distributions in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock or the New Preferred Stock.
(a) OPTION 1 - CASH. The New Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable at the option of the holder thereof at any time prior to the date which is ten days after the Closing Date (as defined in Paragraph 5 below) for cash in amount equal to 50% of the face value of the New Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, up to an aggregate amount of $6.4 million face value and accrued and unpaid dividends. If, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company's financial condition and results of operations permit the Company to permit the exchange for cash of more than $6.4 million face value (plus accrued dividends) of the New Preferred Stock, the terms of the New Preferred Stock will permit the exchange for cash of up to $8.0 million face value (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) of the New Preferred Stock. To the extent that holders of Series A Preferred Stock desire to exchange in the aggregate a greater face value (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) of the New Preferred Stock than is permitted under the terms of the New Preferred Stock, New Preferred Stock will be accepted for exchange by the Company for cash on a pro rata basis based upon the aggregate face value (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) of the New Preferred Stock tendered for exchange.
Conversion of Preferred Stock If the Class is a class and series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, in the event that all outstanding shares of the Class are converted, automatically or by action of the holders thereof, into common stock pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (the “IPO”), then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of the Class have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of common stock into which the Shares would have been converted had the Shares been outstanding on the date of such conversion, and the Warrant Price shall equal the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of common stock into which one Share would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

Redemption of Stock Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 60 days’ notice of the date of such proposed redemption and of the number of such shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the applicable redemption price. The Depositary shall mail, first-class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed, promptly upon receipt of the Company’s notice to redeem shares of Stock and not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares, to the record holders of the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary. Any such notice shall also be published in the same manner as notices of redemption of the Stock are required to be published by the Company. On the date of such redemption, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such redeemed Stock; provided, that the Company shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price of the Stock to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect thereto to the date of any such redemption. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot in a manner determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall have failed to provide the funds necessary to redeem the shares of Stock evidenced by the Depositary Shares called for redemption), dividends on the shares of Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Depositary Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Depositary Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to the same fraction of the redemption price per share paid with respect to the shares of Stock as the fraction each Depositary Share represents of a share of Stock plus the same fraction of all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of dividends which on the Redemption Date have accumulated on the shares of Stock to be so redeemed and have not theretofore been paid. The foregoing is subject further to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Determination. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of this Depositary Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a new Depositary Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Depositary Receipt and not called for redemption.
Conversion of Preferred Shares If, at any time, any of the Preferred Shares are converted into REIT Shares, in whole or in part, then a number of Partnership Preferred Units equal to the number of Preferred Shares so converted shall automatically be converted into a number of Partnership Common Units equal to (i) the number of REIT Shares issued upon such conversion divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect such conversion.
Issuance of Preferred Stock So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company will not issue any capital stock of any class preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of participation in dividends and in the distribution of such assets.
Preferred Shares The Preferred Shares have been duly and validly authorized, and, when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, such Preferred Shares will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, will not be issued in violation of any preemptive rights, and will rank pari passu with or senior to all other series or classes of Preferred Stock, whether or not issued or outstanding, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.
Redemption of Warrants (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 4, the Company shall have the right to redeem this Warrant for a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) $0.01 by (ii) the number of Warrant Shares that the Registered Holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the termination of this Warrant under Section 4(d) below (such Redemption Price being subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar transactions affecting the Common Stock).
(b) The Company shall exercise this redemption right by providing at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Registered Holder of such redemption (the "Redemption Notice").

The Redemption Notice shall specify the time, manner and place of redemption, including without limitation the date on which this Warrant shall be redeemed (the "Redemption Date") and the Redemption Price payable to the Registered Holder (assuming that this Warrant is not exercised on or prior to the Redemption Date).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not redeem this Warrant or provide the Redemption Notice to the Registered Holder unless the closing sales price of the Common Stock on each day of a 20 consecutive trading day period ending within 30 days prior to the date the Company provides the Redemption Notice to the Registered Holder is greater than or equal to $1.34 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar transactions affecting the Common Stock); provided, however, that the Company may not redeem this Warrant or provide the Redemption Notice on or before February 27, 2005.
