Lock-Up Restrictions The Optionee hereby agrees to any lockup of the Shares which the Board of Directors of the Company requests when requested by an investment banker or underwriter providing financing to the Company.
Stock Restrictions Optionee understands that at the time of the execution of this Option Agreement, the shares of the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any state securities law, and that the Company currently does not intend to effect any such registration. Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall be purchased by Optionee for investment without a view to distribution within the meaning of the Act, and shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated unless such transfer has been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or the transfer duly qualifies for an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws. In any event, Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state. In addition, Optionee agrees that (i) the certificates representing the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option may bear such restrictive legend or legends as the Company's legal counsel deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, and (iii) the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Stock purchased under this Option.
Basic Restrictions (i) (1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit, (2) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit and (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.
Ownership Restrictions Notwithstanding any other provision in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Company may restrict transfers of the Shares where such transfer might result in ownership of Shares exceeding limits imposed by applicable law or the Articles of Association of the Company. The Company may also restrict, in such manner as it deems appropriate, transfers of the ADSs where such transfer may result in the total number of Shares represented by the ADSs owned by a single Holder or Beneficial Owner to exceed any such limits. The Company may, in its sole discretion but subject to applicable law, instruct the Depositary to take action with respect to the ownership interest of any Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, including, but not limited to, the imposition of restrictions on the transfer of ADSs, the removal or limitation of voting rights or mandatory sale or disposition on behalf of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Shares represented by the ADSs held by such Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of such limitations, if and to the extent such disposition is permitted by applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as obligating the Depositary or the Company to ensure compliance with the ownership restrictions described in this Section 3.5.
Standstill Restrictions Section 6.1 Until the later of (x) the time that the Investor’s Ownership Percentage is less than 25% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis and (y) the third anniversary of the date hereof (and, in the case of (iv) – (vii), only for so long as the designees of Investor under section 2.1(a) are seated on the Board pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.4(b) and other than with respect to the election of the Investor Designees), neither the Investor nor any Investor Affiliate shall (i) directly or indirectly acquire, agree to acquire, or offer to acquire, beneficial ownership of any equity securities of the Company, any warrant or option to purchase such securities, any security convertible into any such securities, or any other right to acquire such securities, other than the Preferred Shares, Warrant, Common Stock acquired upon conversion of such Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrant and any Preferred Shares or Common Stock paid as dividends or as an increase of the accrued liquidation payment amount or distributions thereon or as otherwise would not increase the Investor’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by greater than 1% on an as-converted basis, (ii) bring any action or otherwise act to contest the validity of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6, or seek a release of such restrictions, (iii) deposit any Preferred Shares or Common Stock in a voting trust or similar arrangement or subject any Preferred Shares or Common Stock to any voting agreement, pooling arrangement or similar arrangement, or grant any proxy with respect to any Preferred Shares or Common Stock to any person not affiliated with the Investor or Company management; (iv) make, or in any way participate or engage in, directly or indirectly, any solicitation of proxies to vote, or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Company or any of Subsidiary of the Company, (v) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company except for any group constituting solely of the Investor and Investor Affiliates, (vi) seek the removal of any directors from the Board or a change in the size or composition of the Board (including, without limitation, voting for any directors not nominated by the Board), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(b) and the Series A Certificate of Designations, (vii) call, request the calling of, or otherwise seek or assist in the calling of a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, (viii) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the foregoing or (ix) make, or take, any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Company to make a public announcement regarding any intention of the Investor to take an action that would be prohibited by the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the Investor from complying with applicable law or the ability of the Investor Designees or other directors appointed or elected to the Board pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations from exercising their fiduciary duties or powers as directors.
Dividend Restrictions No subsidiary of the Company is prohibited or restricted, directly or indirectly, from paying dividends to the Company, or from making any other distribution with respect to such subsidiary’s equity securities or from repaying to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company any amounts that may from time to time become due under any loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any property or assets to the Company or to any other subsidiary.
Securities Restrictions Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Common Shares will be issued upon exercise of a Warrant only in compliance with the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
Additional Restrictions In addition to any other restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner or any redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (v) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8.6 unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel advises the General Partner that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) if such Transfer would cause the General Partner to own 10% or more of the ownership interests of any tenant of a property held by the Partnership within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (ix) if such Transfer would result in the General Partner being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; or (x) if in the opinion the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

On and after 180 days after the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws.
