ARTICLE
II
EXCHANGE
RIGHT
2.1
Exchange Right. (a) Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 hereof, and
subject to any limitations under applicable law, the Operating Partnership
hereby grants to each Limited Partner and each Limited Partner hereby accepts
the right (the “Exchange Right”), exercisable (i) on or after the date that is
one (1) year after the closing of the Offering or (ii) upon the liquidation
of
the Operating Partnership or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Operating Partnership, to exchange on a Specified Exchange Date all
or a
portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner at an exchange
price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount. Notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary herein, the Exchange Right shall only be applicable to such
Partnership Units that are Common Units and not Series A Preferred Units
prior to conversion of such Series A Preferred Units to Common Units pursuant
to
the Partnership Agreement.
(b)
The
Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered
to
the Operating Partnership, with a copy delivered to the Company, by the Limited
Partner who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Exchanging Partner”);
provided, however, that the Company, on behalf of the Operating Partnership,
may
elect, after a Notice of Exchange is delivered, to satisfy the Exchange Right
which is the subject of such notice in accordance with Section 2.2.
(c)
A
Limited Partner may exercise the Exchange Right from time to time with respect
to part or all of the Partnership Units that it owns (including Common Units
received upon conversion of Series A Preferred Units), as selected by the
Limited Partner, provided that, except as provided in the Agreement, a Limited
Partner may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than one thousand (1,000)
Partnership Units unless such Limited Partner then holds less than one thousand
(1,000) Partnership Units, in which event the Limited Partner must exercise
the
Exchange Right for all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner.
(d)
An
Exchanging Partner shall have no right with respect to any Partnership Units
so
exchanged to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Exchange Date
with respect to such Partnership Units.
(e)
Any
Assignee of a Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner
pursuant to this Article 2, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have
assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of
such
rights by such Assignee.
(f)
In
connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf of a
Limited Partner, the Cash Amount or the REIT Stock Amount, as the case may
be,
shall be satisfied by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as the case
may
be, directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.
2.2
Option of Company to Exchange for REIT Stock. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.1, the Company may, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, in
its
sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and
transfer of REIT Stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect to assume
directly the Operating Partnership’s obligation with respect to the Exchange
Right and satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right by exchanging REIT
Stock and rights equal to the REIT Stock Amount on the Specified Exchange Date
for the Partnership Units offered for exchange by the Exchanging Partner,
whereupon the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for exchange
by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of the
Partnership Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Unless the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its right to assume
directly the Operating Partnership’s obligation with respect to the Exchange
Right and satisfy the Exchange Right, the Company shall not have any obligation
to the Exchanging Partner or to the Operating Partnership with respect to the
Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right. If the Company shall
exercise its right to satisfy the Exchange Right in the manner described in
the
first sentence of this Section 2.2 and shall fully perform its obligations
in
connection therewith, the Operating Partnership shall have no right or
obligation to pay any amount to the Exchanging Partner with respect to such
Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right, and each of the Exchanging
Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Company shall, for federal income
tax
purposes, treat the transaction between the Company and the Exchanging Partner
as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to the Company. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.2 shall imply any right of the Company to require
any Limited Partner to exercise the Exchange Right afforded to such Limited
Partner pursuant to Section 2.1.
3
(b)
In
the event the Company shall elect to satisfy, on behalf of the Operating
Partnership, an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right by exchanging REIT Stock for
the Partnership Units offered for exchange,
(i)
the
Company hereby agrees so to notify the Exchanging Partner within five (5)
Business Days after the receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exchange,
(ii)
each
Exchanging Partner hereby agrees to execute such documents and instruments
as
the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT
Stock
upon exercise of the Exchange Right, and
(iii)
the
Company hereby agrees to deliver stock certificates representing fully paid
and
nonassessable shares of REIT Stock.
2.3
Prohibition of Exchange for REIT Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the
contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s
Exchange Right pursuant to Section 2.2 if the delivery of REIT Stock to such
Limited Partner by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2 (regardless of the
Operating Partnership’s obligations to the Limited Partner under Section 2.1)
(a)
would
be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,
(b)
if
the Company has elected REIT status, would otherwise jeopardize the REIT status
of the Company, or
(c)
would
cause the acquisition of the REIT Stock by the Limited Partner to be
“integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Stock by the Company for
purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
2.4
Payment Date. Any Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner shall be
paid
on the Specified Exchange Date; provided, however, that the Operating
Partnership may elect to cause the Specified Exchange Date to be delayed for
up
to an additional 180 days to the extent required for the Company to cause
additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to make
such
payment of the Cash Amount by the Operating Partnership.
2.5
Expiration of Exchange Right. The Exchange Right shall expire with respect
to
any Partnership Units for which an Exchange Notice has not been delivered to
the
Operating Partnership and the Company on or before December 31, 2040.
2.6
Effect of Exchange. (a) Any exchange of Partnership Units pursuant to this
Article 2 shall be deemed to have occurred as of the Specified Exchange Date
for
all purposes, including without limitation the payment of distributions or
dividends in respect of Partnership Units or REIT Stock, as applicable.
(b)
Any
Partnership Units acquired by the Company pursuant to an exercise by any Limited
Partner of an Exchange Right shall be deemed to be acquired by and reallocated
or reissued to the Company.
(c)
The
Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall amend the
Partnership Agreement to reflect each such exchange and reallocation or
reissuance of Partnership Units and each corresponding recalculation of the
Partnership Units of the Limited Partners.
4
ARTICLE
III
OTHER
PROVISIONS
3.1
Covenants of the Company. (a) At all times during the pendency of the Exchange
Right, the Company shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of REIT
Stock as may be necessary to enable the Company to issue such shares in full
payment of the REIT Stock Amount in regard to all Partnership Units held by
Limited Partners which are from time to time outstanding.
(b)
During the pendency of the Exchange Right, the Company shall deliver to Limited
Partners in a timely manner all reports filed by the Company with the SEC to
the
extent the Company also transmits such reports to its stockholders and all
other
communications transmitted from time to time by the Company to its stockholders
generally.
(c)
The
Company shall notify each Limited Partner, upon request, of the then current
Exchange Factor and such notice will include a reasonable explanation of the
Exchange Factor calculation to be applied at such time.
3.2
Fractional Shares. (a) No fractional shares of REIT Stock shall be issued upon
exchange of Partnership Units.
(b)
The
number of full shares of REIT Stock which shall be issuable upon exchange of
Partnership Units (or the cash equivalent amount thereof if the Cash Amount
is
paid) shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate amount of Partnership
Units so surrendered.
(c)
Instead of any fractional shares of REIT Stock which would otherwise be issuable
upon exchange of any Partnership Units, the Operating Partnership shall pay
a
cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the Cash
Amount of a Partnership Unit multiplied by such fraction.
3.3
Investment Representations and Warranties. By delivering to the Company a Notice
of Exchange, each Exchanging Partner will be deemed to represent and warrant
to
the Company and the Operating Partnership that such Exchanging Partner is aware

advise the Company of such retention and, at the Company’s request, such
Exchanging Partner shall, prior to or at delivery of the REIT Stock hereunder,
(I)
acknowledge in writing such representation and
(II)
cause such representative or advisor to deliver a certificate to the Company
containing such representations as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
(b) (i)
Such Exchanging Partner understands that an investment in the Company involves
