EXHIBIT I

STRATEGIC STORAGE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP II, L.P.

DESIGNATION OF THE RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES,

RESTRICTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

OF THE SERIES A CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED UNITS

The following are the terms of the Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) established pursuant to this Amendment:

(1) Number. The maximum number of authorized Preferred Units shall be 2,600,000.

(2) Rank. The Preferred Units will, with respect to distribution rights (to the extent set forth herein) and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership, rank: (a) senior to all classes or series of Partnership Units not designated as Preferred Units (“Common Units”) and to all equity securities issued by the Partnership the terms of which provide that such equity securities shall rank junior to such Preferred Units; (b) on a parity with all equity securities issued by the Partnership other than those referred to in clauses (a) and (c); and (c) junior to all equity securities issued by the Partnership that rank senior to the Preferred Units. The term “equity securities” shall not include convertible debt securities.

(3) Distributions.

(a) Current Distributions.

(i) Commencing from and including the applicable date of issuance of Preferred Units, which may be issued in one or more tranches (each such date, a “Date of Issuance”), current distributions (the “Current Distributions”) on each Preferred Unit shall be payable monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the LIBOR Rate, plus 6.5% per annum of the Liquidation Amount (as defined below) (the “Pay Rate”), until the redemption or repurchase of such Preferred Units in accordance with Sections 5 or 6, as the case may be (each such period a “Current Distribution Period”).

(ii) Current Distributions on the Preferred Units shall be cumulative from the applicable Date of Issuance at the Pay Rate, and shall be declared and payable monthly in arrears on the 1^st day of each month of each year or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, commencing on December 1, 2014 (each, a “Current Distribution Payment Date”), and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the applicable period. Current Distributions will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the Partnership at the close of business on the applicable record date by wire transfer pursuant to wire instructions provided by such holders. The record date shall be the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding each Current Distribution Payment Date (each, a “Current Distribution Payment Record Date”).

(iii) Current Distributions on the Preferred Units shall accumulate at the Pay Rate, whether or not, in any Current Distribution Period, the Partnership has earnings, whether or not such Current Distribution shall be authorized and declared and whether or not there shall be funds of the Partnership legally available for payment of such Current Distributions. If on any Current Distribution Payment Date the Partnership shall not be permitted under Delaware law to pay all or a portion of any such Current Distributions, the Partnership shall take such action as may be lawfully permitted in order to enable the Partnership, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, to lawfully to pay such Current Distributions. Accumulated but unpaid Current Distributions, if any, on the Preferred Units, will accrue at the Pay Rate plus the then-applicable Additional Distribution Rate (as defined below).

(b) Deferred or Additional Distributions.

(i) In addition to the Current Distributions, commencing from and including the applicable Date of Issuance of Preferred Units, each month the Partnership shall have the obligation to elect either (1) to pay additional distributions (“Additional Distributions,” and collectively with the Current Distributions, the “Distributions”) on each Preferred Unit, which Additional Distributions shall be payable monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to: (w) in the case of the period from and including the applicable Date of Issuance through March 31, 2017, 4.35% per annum of the Liquidation Amount; and (x) beginning April 1, 2017, 6.35% per annum of the Liquidation Amount (each of the foregoing rates being referred to as an “Additional Distribution Rate”), until the Final Redemption (as defined below) or Final Repurchase (as defined below) of the outstanding Preferred Units in accordance with Sections 5 or 6, as the case may be (each such period an “Additional Distribution Period”), or (2) to defer the Additional Distribution (the “Deferred Distribution”) with respect to each Preferred Unit, which Deferred Distribution shall accumulate monthly, in an amount equal to: (y) in the case of the period from and including the applicable Date of Issuance through March 31, 2017, the LIBOR Rate, plus 10.85% of the Deferred Distribution; and (z) beginning April 1, 2017, the LIBOR Rate, plus 12.85% of the Deferred Distribution (each of the foregoing rates being referred to as a “Deferred Distribution Rate”), until the Final Redemption or Final Repurchase of the outstanding Preferred Units in accordance with Sections 5 or 6, as the case may be (each such period a “Deferred Distribution Period,” and collectively with each Current Distribution Period and each Additional Distribution Period, each a “Distribution Period”).

(ii) Additional Distributions, if elected pursuant to Section 3(b)(i)(1), on the Preferred Units shall be declared and payable monthly in arrears on the 1^st day of each month of each year or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day (each, an “Additional Distribution Payment Date,” and collectively with each Current Distribution Payment Date, each a “Distribution Payment Date”), and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the applicable period. Additional Distributions, if any, will be payable to holders of

record as they appear in the records of the Partnership at the close of business on the applicable record date by wire transfer pursuant to wire instructions provided by such holders. The record date shall be the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding each Additional Distribution Payment Date (each, an “Additional Distribution Payment Record Date,” and collectively with each Current Distribution Payment Record Date, each a “Distribution Payment Record Date”).

(iii) Deferred Distributions, if elected pursuant to Section 3(b)(i)(2), on the Preferred Units shall accumulate at the Deferred Distribution Rate on the amount of the Deferred Distribution, whether or not, in any Distribution Period, the Partnership has earnings, whether or not such Deferred Distribution shall be authorized and declared and whether or not there shall be funds of the Partnership legally available for payment of such Deferred Distributions. Deferred Distributions may be made from time to time in the discretion of the Partnership but in all cases shall be due and payable on or prior to the Final Redemption or Final Repurchase of the outstanding Preferred Units in accordance with Sections 5 or 6, as the case may be.

(c) Distribution Payments. Any Distribution payment made on Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid Current Distribution due with respect to such Preferred Units which remains payable.

(4) Liquidation Amount.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership (referred to herein as a “liquidation”), the holders of the Preferred Units will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Partnership legally available for distribution to its unitholders liquidating distributions, in cash, in the amount of $25.00 per unit multiplied by the number of outstanding Preferred Units (the “Liquidation Amount”), plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of such liquidation, before any distribution or payment is made to holders of Common Units or any other equity securities of the Partnership ranking junior to the Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon a liquidation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Preferred Units will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.

(b) In the event that, upon any liquidation of the Partnership, the available assets of the Partnership are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding Preferred Units, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of such liquidation and the corresponding amounts payable on all other equity securities of the Partnership ranking on a parity with Preferred Units in the distribution of assets upon a liquidation, then the holders of Preferred Units and all other such equity securities of the Partnership ranking on a parity with Preferred Units shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions per unit to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c) The consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into any other entity, or the merger of another entity with or into the Partnership, or a statutory unit exchange by the Partnership, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Partnership, shall be deemed to constitute a liquidation of the Partnership.

(d) The Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Preferred Units will not be added to the liabilities of the Partnership for the purpose of determining whether under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act a distribution may be made to unitholders of the Partnership whose preferential rights upon dissolution of the Partnership are junior to those of holders of Preferred Units. This Section 4(d) shall be without prejudice to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 3(b) and 4(a) hereof.

(5) Redemption.

(a) The Partnership may redeem the Preferred Units, in whole or in part at the option of the Partnership at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price per unit in cash in an amount equal to (the “Redemption Price”): (i) in the event of a partial redemption, the sum of the Liquidation Amount plus all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions thereon to the date of redemption; and (ii) in the event of the redemption of all remaining outstanding Preferred Units (the “Final Redemption”), the sum of the Liquidation Amount plus all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Preferred Units are to be redeemed at the option of the Partnership, the Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as determined by the General Partner to be fair and equitable to holders of Preferred Units.

(b) Notice of a redemption pursuant to Section 5(a) will be mailed by the Partnership, postage prepaid, not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of the Preferred Units to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the books of the Partnership. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of Preferred Units to be redeemed; (iii) the Redemption Price; (iv) the place or places where certificates representing such Preferred Units, if any, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (v) in the event of a partial redemption, that Current Distributions on the Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date; and (vi) in the event of a Final Redemption, that Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions on the Preferred Units will cease to accumulate on such redemption date. If fewer than all the Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to each such holder thereof shall also specify the number of Preferred Units to be redeemed from each such holder.

(c) On or after a redemption date, each holder of Preferred Units to be redeemed must present and surrender any certificates representing the Preferred Units to the Partnership at the place designated in the notice of redemption and thereupon the Redemption Price of such Preferred Units will be paid to or on the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificates, if any, as the owner thereof by wire transfer pursuant to wire instructions provided by such Person and each surrendered certificate will be canceled. In the event that fewer than all the Preferred Units are to be redeemed, and if a certificate has been issued representing the Preferred Units, a new certificate will be issued representing the unredeemed Preferred Units.

(d) From and after a partial redemption date (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the Redemption Price), all Current Distributions on the Preferred Units subject to such redemption will cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except (i) the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions to the redemption date) and (ii) the right to receive any accumulated Deferred Distributions, will cease and terminate and such Preferred Units will not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Partnership) on the Partnership’s records, and such Preferred Units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever other than with respect to the accumulation of Deferred Distributions on such Preferred Units. In the event that the Partnership defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price for any Preferred Units surrendered for redemption, such Preferred Units shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes and to be owned by the respective holders that surrendered such Preferred Units, and the Partnership shall promptly return the surrendered certificates representing such Preferred Units, if any, to such holders (although the failure of the Partnership to return any such certificates to such holders shall in no way affect the ownership of such Preferred Units by such holders or their rights thereunder).

(e) From and after the date of the Final Redemption (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the Redemption Price), all Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions on the Preferred Units will cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of the Final Redemption), will cease and terminate and such Preferred Units will not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Partnership) on the Partnership’s records, and such Preferred Units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. In the event that the Partnership defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of the Final Redemption) for any Preferred Units surrendered for Final Redemption, such Preferred Units shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes and to be owned by the respective holders that surrendered such Preferred Units, and the Partnership shall promptly return the surrendered certificates representing such Preferred Units, if any, to such holders (although the failure of the Partnership to return any such certificates to such holders shall in no way affect the ownership of such Preferred Units by such holders or their rights thereunder).

(f) Immediately prior to any redemption of Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay, in cash, (i) in the event of a partial redemption, all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions with respect to the Preferred Units to be redeemed in such partial redemption to the redemption date, or (ii) in the event of a Final Redemption, all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions on the remaining outstanding Preferred Units and accumulated Deferred Distributions on all of the Preferred Units to the redemption date, unless such redemption date falls after a Distribution Payment Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Distribution Payment Date, in which case each holder of Preferred Units at the close of business on such Distribution Payment Record Date shall be entitled to the Distribution payable on such Preferred Units on the corresponding Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such Preferred Units on or prior to such Distribution Payment Date.

(g) Any Preferred Units that have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued Partnership Units, without designation as to series, until such units are once more designated as part of a particular series by the General Partner.

(h) The Preferred Units will not have a stated maturity date and will not be subject to any sinking fund.

(6) Repurchase at the Election of Holders.

(a) Following the occurrence of an Optional Repurchase Event, a holder of Preferred Units, at its election, may require the Partnership to repurchase all or any portion of such holder’s Preferred Units at any time or from time to time, at a repurchase price per unit in cash equal to (the “Repurchase Price”): (i) in the event of a partial repurchase, the sum of the Liquidation Amount plus all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions thereon to the date of repurchase; and (ii) in the event of the repurchase of all remaining outstanding Preferred Units (the “Final Repurchase”), the sum of the Liquidation Amount plus all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of repurchase.

(b) Holders may exercise the rights specified in this Section 6 upon delivery to the Partnership of a written notice of repurchase in the form attached as Schedule A hereto (a “Holder Repurchase Notice”) via telecopy, email, hand delivery or other mail or messenger service. The original Holder Repurchase Notice and any certificates representing the Preferred Units for which repurchase is elected shall be delivered to the Partnership by nationally recognized courier, duly endorsed. The date upon which a Holder Repurchase Notice is initially received by the Partnership shall be a “Holder Repurchase Notice Date.”

(c) The Partnership shall pay within ten (10) business days after the Holder Repurchase Notice Date, to or on the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificates or book entry as the owner thereof by wire transfer pursuant to wire instructions provided by such Person, the Repurchase Price for the Preferred Units being repurchased and each surrendered certificate, if any, will be canceled. In the event that fewer than all the Preferred Units are to be repurchased, and if a certificate has been issued representing the Preferred Units, a new certificate will be issued representing the Preferred Units that were not repurchased.

(d) From and after a partial repurchase date (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the Repurchase Price), all Current Distributions on the Preferred Units tendered for repurchase will cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except (i) the right to receive the Repurchase Price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions to the repurchase date) and (ii) the right to receive any accumulated Deferred Distributions, will cease and terminate and such Preferred Units will not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Partnership) on the Partnership’s records, and such Preferred Units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever other than with respect to the accumulation of Deferred Distributions on such Preferred Units. In the event that the

Partnership defaults in the payment of the Repurchase Price for any Preferred Units tendered for repurchase, such Preferred Units shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes and to be owned by the respective holders that tendered such Preferred Units, and the Partnership shall promptly return the tendered certificates representing such Preferred Units, if any, to such holders (although the failure of the Partnership to return any such certificates to such holders shall in no way affect the ownership of such Preferred Units by such holders or their rights thereunder).

(e) From and after the date of the Final Repurchase (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the Repurchase Price), all Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions on the Preferred Units will cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except the right to receive the Repurchase Price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of the Final Repurchase), will cease and terminate and such Preferred Units will not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Partnership) on the Partnership’s records, and such Preferred Units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. In the event that the Partnership defaults in the payment of the Repurchase Price (including all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions and any accumulated Deferred Distributions to the date of the Final Repurchase) for any Preferred Units tendered for Final Repurchase , such Preferred Units shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes and to be owned by the respective holders that tendered such Preferred Units, and the Partnership shall promptly return the tendered certificates representing such Preferred Units, if any, to such holders (although the failure of the Partnership to return any such certificates to such holders shall in no way affect the ownership of such Preferred Units by such holders or their rights thereunder).

(f) Immediately prior to any repurchase of Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay, in cash, (i) in the event of a partial repurchase, all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions with respect to the Preferred Units to be repurchased in such partial repurchase to the repurchase date, or (ii) in the event of a Final Repurchase, all accumulated and unpaid Current Distributions on the remaining outstanding Preferred Units and accumulated Deferred Distributions on all of the Preferred Units to the repurchase date, unless such repurchase date falls after a Distribution Payment Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Distribution Payment Date, in which case each holder of Preferred Units at the close of business on such Distribution Payment Record Date shall be entitled to the Distribution payable on such Preferred Units on the corresponding Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the repurchase of such Preferred Units on or prior to such Distribution Payment Date.

(g) From and after the occurrence of an Optional Repurchase Event until such date as all Preferred Units have been repurchased or redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 or Section 5, none of the Partnership, the General Partner or their respective Subsidiaries may undertake (and the Partnership and the General Partner shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries not to undertake) any of the following actions, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of record of at least a majority of the Preferred Units then outstanding:

(i) authorize, declare or pay, or set apart for payment, any distributions on any equity securities of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their

respective Subsidiaries, other than, with respect to the Partnership, Current Distributions, Additional Distributions and Deferred Distributions on the Preferred Units;

(ii) redeem or repurchase any equity securities of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries, other than, with respect to the Partnership, redemptions or repurchases of the Preferred Units and, with respect to the General Partner, redemptions pursuant to, and subject to the limitations under, the General Partner’s Share Redemption Program as in effect on the Initial Date of Issuance;

(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire any asset from another party, including real property or interests therein, enter into any contract or agreement or option to do so or make any non-refundable deposit in connection with any such proposed acquisition;

(iv) sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge or dispose of all or any portion of any Property or other asset of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any interest, whether legal or beneficial, in any of the foregoing or enter into any contract or agreement or option to do so; or

(v) (a) incur, renew, refinance, modify or otherwise discharge any Indebtedness of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or extend credit, make a loan or become a guarantor or surety for debt of another party, or (b) create, suffer or permit to exist any Lien on, of or against, or otherwise affecting, all or any portion of any Property (including, without limitation, fixtures and other personal property) in each instance, other than the Permitted Liens or other than in connection with a transaction approved pursuant to clause (a) of this subsection.

(h) Any Preferred Units that have been repurchased shall, after such repurchase, have the status of authorized but unissued Partnership Units, without designation as to series, until such units are once more designated as part of a particular series by the General Partner.

(7) Covenants of the Partnership and the General Partner.

(a) Protective Provisions. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby covenant and agree that, for as long as any Preferred Units are outstanding, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall, and the Partnership and the General Partner shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to, undertake or permit any of the following actions, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of record of at least a majority of the Preferred Units then outstanding:

(i) (1) in the case of the Partnership, authorize or issue, or increase the

authorized or issued amount of, (A) equity securities ranking, as to distributions and upon liquidation, on a parity with or senior to the Preferred Units or (B) Common Units or other equity securities ranking, as to distributions and upon liquidation, junior to the Preferred Units, to the extent that such Common Units or other junior equity securities contain any rights that restrict in any way management of the Partnership, the General Partner or their respective Subsidiaries or would reasonably be expected to interfere with the Preferred Units or the rights of the holders thereof; and (2) in the case of the General Partner, any Subsidiary of the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, authorize or issue additional (A) shares of preferred stock or preferred equity securities or (B) shares of common stock or common equity securities or other equity securities ranking, as to distributions and upon liquidation, junior to shares of such entity’s preferred stock or preferred equity securities, to the extent that such shares of common stock, common equity securities or other junior equity securities contain any rights that restrict in any way management of the General Partner, the Partnership or their respective Subsidiaries or would reasonably be expected to interfere with the Preferred Units or the rights of the holders thereof;

(ii) amend, alter, repeal or waive any of the provisions of (1) this Amendment or the Purchase Agreement or (2) the certificate of limited partnership of the Partnership, the Partnership Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the General Partner or the organizational documents of any of their respective Subsidiaries, in the case of clause (2) only, to the extent that such amendment would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Preferred Units or the rights of the holders thereof;

(iii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for any consideration (1) in the case of the Partnership, equity securities of the Partnership that rank, as to distributions and upon liquidation, junior to the Preferred Units, including Common Units, and (2) in the case of the General Partner, any Subsidiary of the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, any class or series of capital stock or equity securities; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the following: (A) redemptions pursuant to the Share Redemption Program; and (B) redemptions of Common Units in exchange for which the General Partner issues REIT Shares to the holders of such Common Units as the sole consideration therefor pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement;

(iv) engage in a Change of Control;

(v) commence or suffer to exist an Event of Bankruptcy as to the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(vi) pay any special distributions (which, for purposes hereof, shall mean any distribution other than a distribution made on a regular monthly basis consistent with past practice) on (1) in the case of the Partnership, Common Units or other equity securities that rank, as to distributions and upon liquidation, junior to the Preferred Units and (2) in the case of the General Partner, any Subsidiary of

the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, shares of common stock or common equity securities or other equity securities that rank, as to distributions and upon liquidation, junior to such entity’s shares of preferred stock or preferred equity securities; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit special distributions that are necessary to preserve the General Partner’s status as a REIT under the Code; or

(vii) engage in a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, unit or stock split, statutory unit or stock exchange, sale of all or substantially all of such entity’s assets, tender offer for all or substantially all of its Common Units, shares of common stock or other common equity securities, as the case may be, or other similar transaction.

Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall take, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to take, any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing actions without obtaining the required consent therefor, as specified in this Section 7(a). Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7(a) to the contrary, the Partnership shall be able to enter into tax protection agreements in the ordinary course of its business.

(b) Investment Company Act. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby covenant and agree that, for as long as any Preferred Units are outstanding, each of the Partnership and the General Partner shall take such steps as shall be necessary to ensure that none of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(c) REIT Status and Partnership Operations. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby covenant and agree that, for as long as any Preferred Units are outstanding, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to continue to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code unless and until the Board of Directors of the General Partner determines that it is in the best interest of the General Partner’s stockholders for the General Partner not to maintain such qualification. So long as any Preferred Units are outstanding and held by a REIT, the General Partner shall operate the Partnership in compliance with the income and asset requirements of Code Sections 856(c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) and so as to avoid the imposition of the tax on prohibited transactions imposed under Code Section 857(b)(6), as if the Partnership were a REIT, unless all REITs holding Preferred Units voluntarily terminate their status as a REIT and deliver a notice to that effect to the General Partner.

(d) Notices. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby covenant and agree that, for as long as any Preferred Units are outstanding, the Partnership and the General Partner shall give to each holder of Preferred Units written notice, within three (3) days of the Partnership or the General Partner having actual knowledge thereof, of:

(i) the issuance by any Governmental Authority of any injunction, order, decision or other restraint or the initiation of any litigation or similar proceeding seeking any such injunction, order or other restraint that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) the existence of an Event of Default (or an event which, upon notice, lapse of time or both would, unless cured or waived, become an Event of Default) or other Optional Repurchase Event;

(iii) the occurrence of a default under any instrument, agreement or indenture pertaining to any Indebtedness of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(iv) any default or event of default under any Material Contract of any of the Partnership, the General Partner or their respective Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(v) the occurrence of an event or series of events relating to or affecting the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(vi) the damage or destruction of any Property, in whole or in part;

(vii) the occurrence of a Capital Event; or

(viii) any actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings in respect of any Taking of any Property.

The written notice provided in connection with any of the foregoing events shall specify the nature of the event prompting such notice and the action (if any) that is proposed to be taken with respect thereto.
