EXHIBIT A
CONVERSION NOTICE
The undersigned Holder of this Security hereby irrevocably exercises the option to convert this Security, or any portion of the principal amount hereof (which is U.S. $1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof) below designated, into shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“MREIC”), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture referred to in this Security, and directs that such shares, together with a check in payment for any fractional share and any Securities representing any unconverted principal amount hereof, be delivered to and be registered in the name of the undersigned unless a different name has been indicated below. If shares of Common Stock or Securities are to be registered in the name of a Person other than the undersigned, (a) the undersigned will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto and (b) signature(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution with membership in an approved signature guarantee program pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any amount required to be paid by the undersigned on account of interest accompanies this Security.
The undersigned Holder of this Security hereby certifies that, upon conversion of this Security or the portion of the principal amount hereof below designated, the undersigned will not own, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Shares of Common Stock are subject to restrictions on ownership and Transfer for the purpose of MREIC’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except as otherwise provided pursuant to MREIC’s Charter, no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or in number of shares of Equity Stock, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding Equity Stock of MREIC, with further restrictions and exceptions set forth in the Charter of MREIC. There may be no Transfer that would cause a violation of the Ownership Limit, that would result in MREIC being Beneficially Owned by fewer than 100 Persons, that would result in MREIC’s being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code, or that would otherwise result in MREIC failing to qualify as a REIT. Any Person who attempts or proposes to own, Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Stock of MREIC in excess of, or in violation of, the above limitations must notify MREIC in writing at least 15 days prior to such proposed or attempted Transfer to such Person. If an attempt is made to violate these restrictions on Transfers, (i) any Purported Transfer will be void and will not be recognized by MREIC, (ii) MREIC will have the right to redeem the Stock proposed to be Transferred, and (iii) the shares generally will be automatically converted into and exchanged for shares of Excess Stock, which will be held in trust by the Trustee in part for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary. All capitalized terms in this paragraph have the meanings defined in the Charter of MREIC, a copy of which, including the restrictions on ownership and Transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who directs a request for such information to the Chairman of the Board of MREIC.
o
Check here if the undersigned Holder of this Security is not an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 17 C.F.R. 230.501(a).
