AND UNITED DOMINION REALTY, L.P. RELEASE FROM SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE MADE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF UDR, INC.
At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Grantee hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Restricted Units, or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such Restricted Units to the Partnership. In addition, if requested, the Grantee shall deposit with the Company or the Partnership, a stock/unit power, or powers, executed in blank and sufficient to re-convey the Restricted Units to the Company or the Partnership upon termination of the Grantee’s service during the Restricted Period, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(a)Investment. The Grantee is holding the LTIP Units for the Grantee’s own account, and not for the account of any other person or entity. The Grantee is holding the LTIP Units for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.
(b)Relation to the Partnership. The Grantee is presently a director of the Company, which is the sole general partner of the Partnership, or is otherwise providing services to or for the benefit of the Partnership, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Partnership.
A-4
(c)Access to Information. The Grantee has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Partnership with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial conditions, and results of operations of the Partnership.
(d)Registration. The Grantee understands that the LTIP Units have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and the LTIP Units cannot be transferred by the Grantee unless such transfer is registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the LTIP Units under the 1933 Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the 1933 Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six (6) months after the issuance of the LTIP Units and then not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.
(e)Public Trading. None of the Partnership’s securities are presently publicly traded, and the Partnership has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.
(f)Tax Advice. The Partnership has made no warranties or representations to the Grantee with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), and the Grantee is in no manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. Grantee hereby recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83, 704, and 707 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes. In the event that those proposed regulations or similar regulations become final or temporary regulations, the Grantee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Partnership in amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required, to conform to such regulations. Further, Congress recently enacted, and proposed Treasury Regulations were recently issued under, Section 1061 of the Code, which materially alters the taxation of “profits interests” issued in connection with the provision of services. The Grantee is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the LTIP Units.
