C. Each Partner represents, warrants and agrees that it has acquired and continues to hold its interest in the Partnership for its own account for investment only and not for the purpose of, or with a view toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part thereof, nor with a view toward selling or otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under any predetermined circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself, particularly real estate investments, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds it has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be a highly speculative and illiquid investment. Each Partner represents, warrants and agrees that such Partner is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). D. Each Partner acknowledges that (i) the Partnership Units (and any REIT Shares that might be exchanged therefor) have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available (it being understood that the Partnership has no intention of so registering the Partnership Units), (ii) a restrictive legend in the form set forth in Exhibit C shall be placed on the certificates representing the Partnership Units, and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Partnership indicating that the Partnership Units are subject to restrictions on transfer. E. Each Limited Partner, other than any Limited Partner to whom the General Partner has granted an exception in its sole and absolute discretion to this Section 3.4.E (but, with respect to any such Limited Partner, only to the extent of the exception so granted by the General Partner), further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: (i) Upon request of the General Partner, such Limited Partner will disclose to the General Partner the amount of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner that it actually owns or Constructively Owns. (ii) Such Limited Partner understands that if, for any reason, (a) the representations, warranties or agreements set forth in Section 3.4.E(i) are violated or (b) the Partnership’s actual ownership or Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner violates the limitations set forth in the Charter, then (x) some or all of the redemption or exchange rights of the Limited Partners may become non-exercisable, and (y) some or all of such shares owned by the Limited Partners and/or some or all of the Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners may be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary, as provided in the Charter and Exhibit D of this Agreement, respectively. F. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 3.4.A, 3.4.B, 3.4.C and 3.4.D hereof shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Partner and the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership. G. Each Partner hereby acknowledges that no representations as to potential profit, cash flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in respect of the Partnership or the General Partner have been made by any Partner or any employee or representative or Affiliate of any Partner, and that projections and any other information, including, without limitation, financial and descriptive information and documentation, which may have been in any manner submitted to such Partner shall not constitute any representation or warranty of any kind or nature, express or implied.
