2. Certain Powers, Rights, and Limitations of Capital Stock.

(a) Common Stock. Subject to the rights, preferences, and limitations that the Board of Directors designates with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, a statement of certain powers, rights, and limitations of the shares of the Common Stock is as follows:

(i) Dividend Rights. The holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation with respect to the Common Stock, subject to the preferential rights of any series of Preferred Stock designated by the Corporation's Board of Directors.

(ii) Rights Upon Liquidation. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation, each holder of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of shares of the Common Stock, that portion of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its holders of shares of Common Stock as the number of shares of the Common Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock that have become Excess Stock) then outstanding.

(b) Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters (for which a common shareholder shall be entitled to vote thereon) at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation, and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of the Common Stock entitled to vote at such meeting. Any action to be taken by the shareholders, other than the election of directors or adjourning a meeting, including, but not limited to, the approval of an amendment to these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (other than an amendment by the Board of Directors to establish the relative rights, preferences, priorities, privileges, restrictions, and limitations of Preferred Stock as provided in Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, which amendment by the Board of Directors shall require no action to be taken by the shareholders), shall be authorized if approved by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares of Capital Stock entitled to vote thereon. Directors shall be elected if approved by a plurality of the votes cast at an election.

(c) Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock shall have such relative rights, preferences, priorities, privileges, restrictions, and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time by one or more amendments to these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

(i) Intentionally Omitted.

(ii) Series B Preferred Stock. Subject in all cases to the other provisions of this Section 2 of this Article III, including, without limitation, those provisions restricting the Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock and those provisions with respect to Excess Stock, the following sets forth the designation, preference, limitation as to dividends, voting, and other rights of the Series B Preferred Stock (defined below) of the Corporation. Terms that are used and not otherwise defined in this Item (ii) have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or, if not so defined, their conventional meanings.

(a) There is hereby established a series of Preferred Stock designated "Series B Non-Participating Convertible Preferred Stock," (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), which shall initially consist of 40,000,000 authorized shares, subject to one or more increases in the authorized shares of the series by a further amendment(s) to these Amended and Restated

Articles of Incorporation to permit the issuance of additional shares upon the issuance of additional Units (defined below) to Registered Unitholders (defined below) and to accommodate stock dividends or stock splits as provided below.

(b) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased, exchanged, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or that are converted into Common Stock shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(c) Except upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Corporation, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right to any assets of the Corporation, and (except as expressly set forth in this Item (ii)) shall have no right to cash dividends or distributions (from whatever source), but shall have the preference rights upon dissolution, liquidation, and winding up that are set forth in this Item (ii) of this Section 2. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks (i) junior to any Parity Preferred Stock or Senior Preferred Stock (the Parity Preferred Stock and the Senior Preferred Stock are collectively referred to as the "Series B Senior Preferred Stock"), (ii) pari passu with any other series of Preferred Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation (the "Series B Parity Preferred Stock"), and (iii) prior to any other class or series of Capital Stock, including, without limitation, the Common Stock of the Corporation, whether now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the "Series B Junior Stock"). If shares of Common Stock or other securities are distributed on the Common Stock or other voting Capital Stock (as a stock dividend or otherwise) (a "Voting Stock Dividend"), then each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive a distribution of the number of shares (or warrants or rights to acquire shares, as the case may be) of Series B Preferred Stock that would then be necessary to preserve the relative voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock (i.e., in relation to the voting power of all outstanding shares of voting Capital Stock) that existed prior to the Voting Stock Dividend.

(d) Subject to the rights of the Series B Senior Preferred Stock, upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, and before any distribution of assets shall be made in respect of any Series B Junior Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its shareholders a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share in cash (or property having a fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors valued at $0.001 per share). After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right or claims to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

(e) The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and shall not be subject to redemption; however, the foregoing shall not be a restriction on the Corporation's otherwise lawful redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock on a consensual basis with each holder of the shares to be redeemed.

(f) (1) The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, and will be automatically converted under the circumstances described below, into Common Stock at a conversion ratio of 14,000:1; i.e., each 14,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into one share of Common Stock. In lieu of issuing less than a full share (a "fractional share") of Common Stock upon the conversion of fewer than 14,000 shares (or an integral multiple of 14,000 shares) of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem the shares of Series

B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be convertible into a fractional share of Common Stock (the "Scrip Shares"), and from and after the date of the conversion, the Scrip Shares shall cease to be outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shall not constitute any other class of Capital Stock, and shall entitle the holder only to receive the cash redemption price, as provided below.

(2) The Corporation will initially issue the Series B Preferred Stock to each Person who, on the initial date of issuance, is a Registered Unitholder at the rate of one share for each Unit held by such Registered Unitholder, if such Registered Unitholder subscribes for the shares and pays to the Corporation an amount equal to the product of $0.001 multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to him. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be issued only in certificated, fully registered form and may be issued only to Registered Unitholders. The Corporation may issue fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Following the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, each Registered Unitholder acquiring one or more newly issued Units shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal in number to the number of newly issued Units acquired by such Registered Unitholder, provided that the Registered Unitholder subscribes for the shares and pays to the Corporation an amount equal to the product of $0.001 multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to him. Except as provided below, a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock may freely effect a transfer of the shares to any Person (subject to the Transfer being in compliance with, or (to the satisfaction of the Corporation) exempt from, applicable securities laws and regulations). Upon a Registered Unitholder's Transfer of one or more Units to another Registered Unitholder, then (to the extent of the transferring Registered Unitholder's then ownership of Series B Preferred Stock) the transferring Registered Unitholder shall be deemed to have transferred to the transferee of the Units (i) shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal in number to the number of transferred Units or if, after giving effect to the Unit Transfer, the transferring Registered Unitholder will cease to own any Units, (ii) all of the transferring Registered Unitholder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Registered Unitholder shall have the right (which shall be exercised by delivering written notice at the time of the Unit Transfer to the Corporation and the transferee of the Units) to negate the deemed simultaneous Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock. A Registered Unitholder desiring to sell (by exchange or otherwise) Units to the Corporation shall be required to surrender to the Corporation for conversion shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal in number to the number of Units being sold (by exchange or otherwise), but only if and to the extent that, after giving effect to the Corporation's proposed purchase of Units, the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will exceed the aggregate number of Units held by all Registered Unitholders. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be converted into Common Stock, as provided in subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph (f), upon the Corporation's purchase of the Units of the surrendering Registered Unitholder, and the Corporation shall promptly redeem any resulting Scrip Shares for cash, as provided below. Except as provided above in this subparagraph (f)(2), a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voluntary conversion rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, but shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into Common Stock as provided in subparagraph (3) of this Paragraph (f).

(3) After giving effect to a Transfer of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to a Registered Unitholder, the transferee Registered Unitholder is permitted to own shares

of Series B Preferred Stock up to (i) the number of Units then owned by such transferee Registered Unitholder or (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, whichever is greater (any shares in excess of a transferee Registered Unitholder's permitted ownership of Series B Preferred Stock are referred to as the "Disproportionate Shares"). After giving effect to a Transfer of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to any Person who is not a Registered Unitholder, the transferee is permitted to own up to 5% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (any shares held by a transferee of Series B Preferred Stock who is not a Registered Unitholder in excess of such 5% limit are referred to as the "Greater than 5% Shares"). Upon a Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock resulting in the transferee holding Disproportionate Shares or Greater than 5% Shares, as applicable, the Disproportionate Shares or Greater than 5% Shares, as applicable, shall automatically convert into Common Stock as provided in subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph (f) without action on the part of anyone, and the Corporation shall promptly redeem any resulting Scrip Shares for cash, as provided below. Upon any such automatic conversion, each certificate evidencing converted shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall instead represent the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted and the right to receive the cash redemption payment for any Scrip Shares evidenced by such certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation in exchange for a Common Stock certificate and the redemption price of the Scrip Shares (if any).

(4) Upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, no payment or adjustment shall be made on account of dividends declared and payable to holders of Common Stock of record on a date prior to the date of conversion.

(5) As soon as practicable on or after the date of conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate(s) evidencing the converted shares, the Corporation will issue and deliver to or at the direction of the converting shareholder a certificate(s) for the whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Corporation shall redeem Scrip Shares resulting from a voluntary or automatic conversion of Series B Preferred Stock for a cash payment equal to the fair value of the fractional share of Common Stock into which the Scrip Shares would otherwise be convertible (the fair value shall be the product of the relevant fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the date of conversion on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed (or the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on such date on the principal national market system on which the Common Stock is traded) or (if the Common Stock is not so listed or traded) the fair value of the Common Stock on such date as determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors). The Corporation shall be responsible for any stamp or other issuance taxes payable upon the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for surrendered or automatically converted shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(g) (1) On all matters with respect to which shareholders of the Corporation vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote. On all matters with respect to which the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a separate class, including the nomination of directors pursuant to subparagraph (2) of this Paragraph (g), the action shall be determined by the vote (which may be by non-unanimous written consent) of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote. On all other matters, including the election of directors, the Series B Preferred Stock will vote as a single class with all other Capital Stock entitled to vote.

(2) With respect to each annual meeting of the Corporation's shareholders, commencing with the annual meeting of the Corporation's shareholders to be held in 1999 (the "1999 Annual Meeting"), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a separate class, to designate nominees for election as directors of the Corporation and to have such nominees included as such in the Corporation's proxy statement and ballots (or, if none, in a specially prepared proxy statement and ballots) submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation entitled to vote in a timely manner prior to the annual meeting. The Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts, consistent with the Board of Directors' exercise of its fiduciary duties, to cause the election of the nominees designated by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. With respect to the 1999 Annual Meeting, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate four nominees. With respect to each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, the number of nominees to be designated by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Base Number of Series B Nominees") shall be equal to the difference between (i) four and (ii) the number of directors whose terms commenced prior to and will continue after such meeting and who were nominated to serve such terms by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class. The Base Number of Series B Nominees calculated as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be reduced (i) by one, if as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors at the relevant annual meeting (the "Record Date"), the Registered Unitholders collectively own less than 25% (but at least 15%) of the Fully Diluted Common Stock of the Corporation, (ii) by two, if as of the Record Date, the Registered Unitholders collectively own less than 15% (but at least 10%) of the Fully Diluted Common Stock of the Corporation, (iii) by three, if as of the Record Date, the Registered Unitholders collectively own less than 10% (but at least 5%) of the Fully Diluted Common Stock of the Corporation, and (iv) to zero, if as of the Record Date, the Registered Unitholders collectively own less than 5% of the Fully Diluted Common Stock of the Corporation. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) "Fully Diluted Common Stock of the Corporation" means all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the relevant Record Date, plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested employee stock options to acquire Common Stock and issuable upon the exchange of Units owned by the Registered Unitholders (assuming a 1:1 exchange ratio and calculated without regard to limitations imposed on the ability or rights of certain Registered Unitholders to exchange Units for Common Stock), and (ii) the Registered Unitholders shall be deemed to "collectively own" all shares of Common Stock that they own in fact, that they have the right to acquire upon the exercise of vested employee stock options, and that would be issued upon the exchange (without regard to limitations imposed on the ability or rights of certain Registered Unitholders to exchange Units for Common Stock) of all outstanding Units (and Units issuable upon the exercise of options to acquire Units) held by the Registered Unitholders.

(h) At all times when the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to designate nominees for election as directors of the Corporation, (i) the Board of Directors shall consist of nine directors (other than during any vacancy caused by the death, resignation, or removal of a director), plus the number of directors that any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, has the right to elect because of the Corporation's default in the payment of preferential dividends due on such series, and (ii) a majority of the directors shall be "independent" (for these purposes, an individual shall be deemed "independent" if such individual is neither an officer nor an employee of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries). At such time as the holders of Series

B Preferred Stock no longer have the right to designate any nominees for election as directors of the Corporation, the size of the Board of Directors shall be as determined in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws of the Corporation.

(i) For purposes of this Item (ii) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

(1) "Registered Unitholder" means a Person, other than the Corporation, (i) who at the relevant time is reflected in the records of The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership as a partner in such partnership (or who as the result of a Transfer of Units is being admitted as a partner in such partnership) or (ii) who is (or upon completion of the relevant Transfer (including, for these purposes, the exercise of an option to acquire a Unit) will become) a beneficial owner of Units.

(2) "Units" means Units of Partnership Interest in The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (and its successors), and any securities into which such Units of Partnership Interest (as a class) are converted or for which such Units (as a class) are exchanged, whether by merger, reclassification, or otherwise. All references in this Item (ii) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III to numbers of Units shall be adjusted to reflect any splits, reverse splits, or reclassifications of Units of Partnership Interest.

(j) As long as shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class):

(1) create, authorize, or issue any securities or any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such securities, the issuance of which could adversely and (relative to the other outstanding Capital Stock) disparately affect the voting power or voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock or the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (including the rights under Paragraph (g) of this Item (ii) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, and disregarding, for these purposes, the right of any series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, to elect directors of the Corporation as the result of the Corporation's default in the payment of a preferential dividend to which the holders of such series of Preferred Stock are entitled);

(2) amend, alter, or repeal the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise, in a manner that could adversely affect the voting power or voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock or the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (including the rights under Paragraph (g) of this Item (ii) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, and disregarding, for these purposes, the right of any series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, to elect directors of the Corporation as the result of the Corporation's default in the payment of a preferential dividend to which the holders of such series of Preferred Stock are entitled);

(3) be a party to a material transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, or share exchange) (a "Series B Transaction") if the Series B Transaction could adversely and (relative to the other outstanding Capital Stock) disparately affect the voting power or voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock or the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (including the rights under Paragraph (g) of this Item (ii) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, and disregarding, for these purposes, the right of any

series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, to elect directors of the Corporation as the result of the Corporation's default in the payment of a preferential dividend to which the holders of such series of Preferred Stock are entitled). The provisions of this subparagraph (3) shall apply to successive Series B Transactions; or

(4) issue any shares of Series B Preferred Stock to anyone other than a Registered Unitholder as provided in Paragraph (c) or subparagraph (f)(2) of this Item (ii).

(iii) Intentionally omitted.

(iv) Intentionally omitted.

(v) Intentionally omitted.

(vi) Intentionally omitted.

(vii) Intentionally omitted.

(viii) Intentionally Omitted.

(ix) Series J Preferred Stock. Subject in all cases to the other provisions of this Section 2 of this Article III, including, without limitation, those provisions restricting the Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock and those provisions with respect to Excess Stock, the following sets forth the designation, preferences, limitations as to dividends, voting and other rights, and the terms and conditions of redemption of the Series J Preferred Stock (defined below) of the Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, all defined terms in this Subsection 2(c)(ix) of Article III shall apply solely with respect to this Subsection 2(c)(ix) of Article III.

(a) Designation and Number. There is hereby established a series of Preferred Stock designated "6.500% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock" (the "Series J Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 8,050,000 authorized shares.

(b) Status of Acquired Shares. All shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased, exchanged, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(c) Rank. The Series J Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank (i) junior to any other series of Preferred Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank prior to the Series J Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution (the "Senior Preferred Stock"), (ii) pari passu with the Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank pari passu with the Series J Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution (the "Parity Preferred Stock"), and (iii) prior to the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Capital Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series of Capital Stock shall rank junior to the Series J Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution

of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, whether now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the "Junior Stock").

(d) Dividends.

(1) Subject to the rights of any Senior Preferred Stock, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the annual rate of 6.500% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (i.e., $1.625 per annum per share). Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from the date of original issue and shall be payable in equal quarterly amounts in arrears on or about the last day of each March, June, September, and December or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each, a "Dividend Payment Date") (for the purposes of this Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph (d), a "business day" is any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, on which banks in Detroit, Michigan, are open for business), except Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (ix) shall govern if there is any dividend payment period during which any shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (ix). The first dividend, which shall be paid on September 28, 2012 if so declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, will be for less than a full quarter. All dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock, including any dividend for any partial dividend period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or on such other date designed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than ten days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a "Dividend Record Date").

(2) No dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment, or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment, or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach of, or a default under, such agreement or if such declaration, payment, or setting aside shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

(3) Dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative regardless of whether the Corporation has earnings, regardless of whether there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and regardless of whether such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable. Except as provided in this Subparagraph (3), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period: (i) no dividends (other than in shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock, the Series H Preferred Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series J Preferred Stock as to dividend

rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution; and (ii) no shares of Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock, the Series H Preferred Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series J Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution shall be redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired for any consideration (nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock). When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series J Preferred Stock and the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series J Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series J Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series J Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata, so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series J Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series J Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment on the Series J Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. Holders of shares of the Series J Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property, or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock as provided above. Any dividend payment made on shares of the Series J Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares that remains payable.

(4) If for any taxable year the Corporation elects to designate as "capital gains dividends" (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the "Capital Gains Amount") of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of Capital Stock (the "Total Dividends"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to the holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

with or into any other corporation, trust, or entity (or of any other corporation with or into the Corporation) nor the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation shall be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for the purpose of this Paragraph (e) of this Item (ix). Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

(f) Redemption.

(1) The Series J Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to August 14, 2017, except as set forth in Paragraphs (g) or (h) of this Item (ix).

(2) On and after August 14, 2017, the Corporation, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem shares of the Series J Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (except as provided below).

(3) Holders of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such shares at the place designated in the notice of redemption, if any, and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption has been given and if the Corporation has set aside in trust the funds necessary for the redemption for the benefit of the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date: (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series J Preferred Stock; (ii) such shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding; and (iii) all rights of the holders of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends. If less than all of the outstanding Series J Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Corporation.

(4) Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series J Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series J Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock (except by exchange for Junior Stock); however, the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of Series J Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock.

No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places, if any, where the Series J Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) if fewer than all shares of the Series J Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder.

(6) The holders of Series J Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to such Series J Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption thereof between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, regardless of whether in arrears, on Series J Preferred Stock called for redemption.

(7) The Series J Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption by the Corporation.

(g) Special Optional Redemption by Corporation.

(1) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), the Corporation may, at its option, redeem shares of the Series J Preferred Stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (“Special Optional Redemption Right”).

(2) Notice shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage pre-paid, no fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and addressed to the holders of record of shares of the Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

A “Change of Control” is when, after the original issuance of the Series J Preferred Stock, the following have occurred and are continuing:

(i) the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of stock of the Corporation entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of the Corporation's directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence

of a subsequent condition); and

(ii) following the closing of any transaction referred to in (i) above, neither the Corporation nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the NYSE Amex Equities (the “NYSE Amex”), or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or NASDAQ.

(3) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series J Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the certificates, if any, representing shares of Series J Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) procedures for surrendering noncertificated shares, if any, of Series J Preferred Stock for payment of the redemption price; (vi) that dividends on the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; (vii) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series J Preferred Stock; (viii) that the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are being redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control; and (ix) that holders of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender such shares of Series J Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Change of Control and each share of Series J Preferred Stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, for redemption will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. If fewer than all of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) by lot or in such other equitable method determined by the Corporation. If redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right will result in a violation of the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, then the Corporation may concurrently exercise its rights under the REIT Qualification Optional Redemption pursuant to Paragraph (h) of this Item (ix).

(4) If the Corporation has given a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right and has set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series J Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer being outstanding, no further dividends will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series J Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series J Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, without interest. So long as full cumulative dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock for all

past dividend periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash, or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for payment, nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Corporation's right or ability to purchase, from time to time, either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series J Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the repurchase of shares of Series J Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board of Directors.

(5) The holders of Series J Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to the Series J Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series J Preferred Stock pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date or the Corporation's default in the payment of the dividend due. Except as provided herein, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series J Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right has been given.

(6) All shares of the Series J Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Paragraph (g), or otherwise acquired in any other manner by the Corporation, shall be retired and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series or class.

(h) REIT Qualification Optional Redemption by Corporation.

(1) If the Corporation determines it necessary to redeem any or all of a holder's Series J Preferred Stock to prevent a violation of the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, then the Corporation, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem shares of the Series J Preferred Stock, in such amount as required to comply with such Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, at any time and from time to time, for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (except as provided below) (the “REIT Qualification Optional Redemption Right”).

(2) Holders of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such shares at the place designated in the notice of redemption, if any, and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption has been given and if the Corporation has set aside in trust the funds necessary for the redemption for the benefit of the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date: (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series J Preferred Stock; (ii) such shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding; and (iii) all rights of the holders of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends.

shares of Series J Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places, if any, where the Series J Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) if fewer than all shares of the Series J Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder.

(4) The holders of Series J Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to such Series J Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption thereof between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, regardless of whether in arrears, on Series J Preferred Stock called for redemption.

(i) Voting Rights.

(1) Except as may be required by law or as otherwise expressly provided in this Item (ix) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, the holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote. On all matters with respect to which the Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, each share of Series J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

(2) Whenever dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock are in arrears (which shall, with respect to any quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full whether or not earned or declared) for six or more quarterly periods (whether consecutive or not), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, and the holders of Series J Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other series of Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Voting Parity Preferred”)) shall have the right to elect two directors of the Corporation at a special meeting called by the holders of record of at least 10% of the Series J Preferred Stock or at least 10% of any other Voting Parity Preferred so in arrears (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders) or at the next annual meeting of shareholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting, until all dividends accumulated on the Series J Preferred Stock for the past dividend periods and the then current dividend period have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of such dividends has been set aside for payment. If and when all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current dividend period on the Series J Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full, the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing voting rights (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages in six quarterly dividends), and if all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all series of Voting Parity Preferred, the term of office of each director so elected by the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock and the Voting Parity Preferred shall terminate.

(3) As long as any shares of Series J Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least

two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class): (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Senior Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized Capital Stock into, or create, authorize, or issue any obligation or security convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase, any Senior Preferred Stock; or (ii) amend, alter, or repeal the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege, or voting power of the Series J Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; however, as long as the Series J Preferred Stock remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of an Event, the Corporation may not be the surviving entity and the surviving entity may be the issuer of the Series J Preferred Stock, the occurrence of an Event described in clause (ii) above of this Subparagraph (3) shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges, or voting power of the holders of Series J Preferred Stock, and (x) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, or (y) any increase in the amount of authorized shares of the Series J Preferred Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock, in the case of either (x) or (y) ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series J Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges, or voting powers.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series J Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote, and the foregoing voting provisions shall not apply, if at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required is effected, all outstanding shares of the Series J Preferred Stock have been redeemed or called for redemption, and sufficient funds have been deposited in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series J Preferred Stock to effect such redemption.

(j) Conversion.

(1) The shares of Series J Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation, except as provided in this Paragraph (j). Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing in this Paragraph (j), if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), the Corporation has provided or provides notice of redemption with respect to the Series J Preferred Stock (pursuant to Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (ix)), the holders of shares of Series J Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described in this Paragraph (j).

(2) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert some or all of the Series J Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of Common Stock, per share of Series J Preferred Stock to be converted (the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”) equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (x) the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series J Preferred Stock to be converted plus (y) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in such sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined herein) and (B) 0.6361 (the “Share Cap”), subject to the immediately succeeding

Paragraph.

The Share Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any share splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of the Common Stock), subdivisions or combinations (in each case, a “Share Split”) with respect to the Common Stock as follows: the adjusted Share Cap as the result of a Share Split shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that is equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Share Cap in effect immediately prior to such Share Split by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Share Split and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Share Split.

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined below), as applicable) issuable in connection with the exercise of the Change of Control Conversion Right shall not exceed 4,452,700 shares of Common Stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable), subject to increase to the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock in the initial public offering of Series J Preferred Stock is exercised, not to exceed 5,120,605 shares of Common Stock in total (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable) (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any Share Splits on the same basis as the corresponding adjustment to the Share Cap.

In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Conversion Consideration”; and the Common Stock Conversion Consideration or the Alternative Conversion Consideration, as may be applicable to a Change of Control, shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Consideration”).

In the event that holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the Conversion Consideration will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration actually received by holders of a majority of the Common Stock that voted for such an election (if electing between two types of consideration) or holders of a plurality of the Common Stock that voted for such an election (if electing between more than two types of consideration), as the case may be, and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control.

The “Change of Control Conversion Date” shall be a business day set forth in the notice of Change of Control provided in accordance with Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph (j) that is no less than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which the Corporation provides such notice pursuant to Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph (j).

The “Common Stock Price” shall be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of Common Stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of Common Stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock is other than solely cash, (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of Common Stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by Pink Sheets LLC or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the Common Stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

(3) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Series J Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, holders shall be entitled to receive the cash value of such fractional shares based on the Common Stock Price.

(4) Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, a notice of occurrence of the Change of Control, describing the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right, shall be delivered to the holders of record of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock at their addresses as they appear on the Corporation's stock transfer records and notice shall be provided to the Corporation's transfer agent. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of any share of Series J Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the events constituting the Change of Control; (ii) the date of the Change of Control; (iii) the last date on which the holders of Series J Preferred Stock may exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right; (iv) the method and period for calculating the Common Stock Price; (v) the Change of Control Conversion Date; (vi) that if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Corporation has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of the Series J Preferred Stock, the holder will not be able to convert shares of Series J Preferred Stock designated for redemption and such shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be redeemed on the related redemption date, even if they have already been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control Conversion Right; (vii) if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series J Preferred Stock; (viii) the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent; and (ix) the procedures that the holders of Series J Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right.

(5) The Corporation shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones & Corporation, Inc., Business Wire, PR Newswire or Bloomberg Business News (or, if such organizations are not in existence at the time of issuance of such press release, such other news or press organization as is reasonably calculated to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public), or post notice on the Corporation's website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first business day following any date on which the Corporation provides notice pursuant to Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph (j) to the holders of Series J Preferred Stock.

(6) In order to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right, a holder

of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Change of Control Conversion Date, the certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written conversion notice completed, to the Corporation's transfer agent. Such notice shall state: (i) the relevant Change of Control Conversion Date; (ii) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be converted; and (iii) that the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are to be converted pursuant to the applicable provisions of these Articles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are held in global form, such notice shall comply with applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”).

(7) Holders of Series J Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Change of Control Conversion Right (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporation's transfer agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date. The notice of withdrawal must state: (i) the number of withdrawn shares of Series J Preferred Stock; (ii) if certificated shares of Series J Preferred Stock have been issued, the certificate numbers of the shares of withdrawn Series J Preferred Stock; and (iii) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the conversion notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are held in global form, the notice of withdrawal shall comply with applicable procedures of DTC.

(8) Shares of Series J Preferred Stock as to which the Change of Control Conversion Right has been properly exercised and for which the conversion notice has not been properly withdrawn shall be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration in accordance with the Change of Control Conversion Right on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

(9) The Corporation shall deliver the applicable Conversion Consideration no later than the third business day following the Change of Control Conversion Date.

(10) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such shares of Series J Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares of Common Stock would cause the holder of such shares of Common Stock (or any other person) to violate the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively.

(x) Series K Preferred Stock. Subject in all cases to the other provisions of this Section 2 of this Article III, including, without limitation, those provisions restricting the Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock and those provisions with respect to Excess Stock, the following sets forth the designation, preferences, limitations as to dividends, voting and other rights, and the terms and conditions of redemption of the Series K Preferred Stock (defined below) of the Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, all defined terms in this Subsection 2(c)(x) of Article III shall apply solely with respect to this Subsection 2(c)(x) of Article III.

(a) Designation and Number. There is hereby established a series of Preferred Stock designated "6.25% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock" (the "Series K Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 6,900,000 authorized shares.

(b) Status of Acquired Shares. All shares of Series K Preferred Stock redeemed,

purchased, exchanged, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series or class.

(c) Rank. The Series K Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank (i) junior to any other series of Preferred Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank prior to the Series K Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution (the "Senior Preferred Stock"), (ii) pari passu with the Series J Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank pari passu with the Series K Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution (the "Parity Preferred Stock"), and (iii) prior to the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Capital Stock hereafter duly established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series of Capital Stock shall rank junior to the Series K Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, whether now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the "Junior Stock").

(d) Dividends.

(1) Subject to the rights of any Senior Preferred Stock, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the annual rate of 6.25% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (i.e., $1.5625 per annum per share). Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from the date of original issue and shall be payable in equal quarterly amounts in arrears on or about the last day of each March, June, September, and December or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each, a "Dividend Payment Date") (for the purposes of this Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph (d), a "business day" is any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, on which banks in Detroit, Michigan, are open for business), except Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (x) shall govern if there is any dividend payment period during which any shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (x). The first dividend, which shall be paid on June 28, 2013 if so declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, will be for more than a full quarter. All dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock, including any dividend for any partial dividend period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15^th day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or on such other date designed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than ten days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a "Dividend Record Date").

(2) No dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment, or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration,

payment, or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach of, or a default under, such agreement or if such declaration, payment, or setting aside shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

(3) Dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative regardless of whether the Corporation has earnings, regardless of whether there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and regardless of whether such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable. Except as provided in this Subparagraph (3), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period: (i) no dividends (other than in shares of Junior Stock or as part of the consideration in connection with a redemption, purchase or other acquisition as permitted in (ii) below) shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series J Preferred Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series K Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution; and (ii) no shares of Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series J Preferred Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series K Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution shall be redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired for any consideration (nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except (a) by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock or (b) in furtherance of a REIT Qualification Optional Redemption (or substantially similar provisions relating to other shares of the Corporation's capital stock) or the provisions set forth in Subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III to ensure the Corporation's REIT qualification). When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series K Preferred Stock and the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series K Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series K Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series K Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata, so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series K Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series K Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment on the Series K Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. Holders of shares of the Series K Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property, or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock as provided above. Any dividend payment made on shares of the Series K Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares that remains payable.

be allocable to the holders of Series K Preferred Stock shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

(e) Liquidation Preference. Subject to the rights of any Senior Preferred Stock, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, and before any distribution of assets shall be made in respect of any Junior Stock, the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its shareholders a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share in cash (or property having a fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors valued at $25.00 per share), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series K Preferred Stock shall have no right or claims to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of Parity Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust, or entity (or of any other corporation with or into the Corporation) nor the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation shall be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for the purpose of this Paragraph (e) of this Item (x). Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

(f) Redemption.

(1) (A) The Series K Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 15, 2018, except as set forth in Paragraphs (g) or (h) of this Item (x).

(B) Notwithstanding anything in Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (x) or otherwise, nothing in this Subsection 2(c)(x) of Article III shall prevent or restrict (i) at any time, the purchase or acquisition of shares of Series K Preferred Stock by the Corporation pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock or (ii) so long as full cumulative dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (X) declared and paid in cash, or (Y) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for payment, the purchase or acquisition by the Corporation, from time to time, either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series K Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the repurchase of shares of Series K Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board of Directors.

(2) On and after March 15, 2018, the Corporation, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem shares of the Series K Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (except as provided below).

(3) Holders of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such shares at the place designated in the notice of redemption, if any, and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption has been given and if the Corporation has set aside in trust the funds necessary for the redemption for the benefit of the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation defaults in payment of the redemption price and all accumulated and unpaid dividends): (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series K Preferred Stock; (ii) such shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding; and (iii) all rights of the holders of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, without interest.

If less than all of the outstanding Series K Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Corporation. If redemption pursuant to this Paragraph (f) will result in a violation of the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, then the Corporation may concurrently exercise its rights under the REIT Qualification Optional Redemption pursuant to Paragraph (h) of this Item (x).

(4) Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series K Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series K Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock (except by exchange for Junior Stock).

(5) Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places, if any, where the Series K Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) if fewer than all shares of the Series K Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the

number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder.

(6) The holders of Series K Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to such Series K Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption thereof between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, regardless of whether in arrears, on Series K Preferred Stock called for redemption.

(7) The Series K Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption by the Corporation.

(g) Special Optional Redemption by Corporation.

(1) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), the Corporation may, at its option, redeem shares of the Series K Preferred Stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (“Special Optional Redemption Right”).

(2) Notice shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage pre-paid, no fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and addressed to the holders of record of shares of the Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series K Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

A “Change of Control” is when, after the original issuance of the Series K Preferred Stock, the following have occurred and are continuing:

(ii) following the closing of any transaction referred to in (i) above, neither the Corporation nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT”), or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ.

(3) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series K Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the certificates, if any, representing shares of Series K Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) procedures for surrendering noncertificated shares, if any, of Series K Preferred Stock for payment of the redemption price; (vi) that dividends on the shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; (vii) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series K Preferred Stock; (viii) that the shares of Series K Preferred Stock are being redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control; and (ix) that holders of the shares of Series K Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender such shares of Series K Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Change of Control and each share of Series K Preferred Stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, for redemption will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. If fewer than all of the shares of Series K Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) or in such other equitable method determined by the Corporation. If redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right will result in a violation of the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, then the Corporation may concurrently exercise its rights under the REIT Qualification Optional Redemption pursuant to Paragraph (h) of this Item (x).

(4) If the Corporation has given a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right and has set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation defaults in payment of the redemption price and all accumulated and unpaid dividends): (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series K Preferred Stock; (ii) such shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding; and (iii) all rights of the holders of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, without interest.

Except as provided herein, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series K Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special

Optional Redemption Right has been given.

(h) REIT Qualification Optional Redemption by Corporation.

(1) If the Corporation determines it necessary to redeem any or all of a holder's Series K Preferred Stock to prevent a violation of the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, then the Corporation, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem shares of the Series K Preferred Stock, in such amount as required to comply with such Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively, at any time and from time to time, for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (except as provided below) (the “REIT Qualification Optional Redemption Right”).

(2) Holders of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such shares at the place designated in the notice of redemption, if any, and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption has been given and if the Corporation has set aside in trust the funds necessary for the redemption for the benefit of the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless the Corporation defaults in payment of the redemption price and all accumulated and unpaid dividends): (i) dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series K Preferred Stock; (ii) such shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding; and (iii) all rights of the holders of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, without interest.

(3) Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series K Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places, if any, where the Series K Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) if fewer than all shares of the Series K Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder.

(4) The holders of Series K Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to such Series K Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption thereof between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, regardless of whether in arrears, on Series K Preferred Stock called for redemption.

(i) Voting Rights.

(1) Except as may be required by law or the rules of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or quotation system on which the Series K preferred stock is then listed, traded or quoted, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Item (x) of this Subsection (c) of this Section 2 of this Article III, the holders of Series K Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote. On all matters with respect to which the Series K Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, each share of Series K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

(2) Whenever dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock are in arrears (which shall, with respect to any quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full whether or not earned or declared) for six or more quarterly periods (whether consecutive or not), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, and the holders of Series K Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other series of Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Voting Parity Preferred”)) shall have the right to elect two directors of the Corporation at a special meeting called by the holders of record of at least 10% of the Series K Preferred Stock or at least 10% of any other Voting Parity Preferred so in arrears (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders) or at the next annual meeting of shareholders, each to serve until all dividends accumulated on the Series K Preferred Stock for the past dividend periods and the then current dividend period have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of such dividends has been set aside for payment. If and when all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current dividend period on the Series K Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full, the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing voting rights (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages in six quarterly dividends), and if all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all series of Voting Parity Preferred, the term of office of each director so elected by the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock and the Voting Parity Preferred shall terminate.

(3) As long as any shares of Series K Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class): (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Senior Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized Capital Stock into, or create, authorize, or issue any obligation or security convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase, any Senior Preferred Stock; or (ii) amend, alter, or repeal the provisions of these Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege, or voting power of the Series K Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; however, as long as the Series K Preferred Stock remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of an Event, the Corporation may not be the surviving entity and the surviving entity may be the issuer of the Series K Preferred Stock, the occurrence of an Event described in clause (ii) above of this Subparagraph (3) shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges, or voting power of the holders of Series K Preferred Stock, and (x) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, or (y) any increase in the amount of authorized shares of the Series K Preferred Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock, in the case of either (x) or (y) ranking on a parity with or junior to the

Series K Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges, or voting powers.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series K Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote, and the foregoing voting provisions shall not apply, if at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required is effected, all outstanding shares of the Series K Preferred Stock have been redeemed or called for redemption, and sufficient funds have been deposited in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock to effect such redemption.

(j) Conversion.

(1) The shares of Series K Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation, except as provided in this Paragraph (j). Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing in this Paragraph (j), if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), the Corporation has provided or provides notice of redemption with respect to the Series K Preferred Stock (pursuant to Paragraphs (f), (g) or (h) of this Item (x)), the holders of shares of Series K Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described in this Paragraph (j).

(2) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert some or all of the Series K Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of Common Stock, per share of Series K Preferred Stock to be converted (the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”) equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (x) the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series K Preferred Stock to be converted plus (y) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in such sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined herein) and (B) 0.64218 (the “Share Cap”), subject to the immediately succeeding Paragraph.

extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Series K Preferred Stock in the initial public offering of Series K Preferred Stock is exercised, not to exceed 4,431,042 shares of Common Stock in total (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable) (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any Share Splits on the same basis as the corresponding adjustment to the Share Cap.

In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion of such shares of Series K Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Conversion Consideration”; and the Common Stock Conversion Consideration or the Alternative Conversion Consideration, as may be applicable to a Change of Control, shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Consideration”).

The “Common Stock Price” shall be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of Common Stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of Common Stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock is other than solely cash, (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of Common Stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the Common Stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

(3) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Series K Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, holders shall be entitled to receive the cash value of such fractional shares based on the Common Stock Price.

(4) Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, a notice of occurrence of the Change of Control, describing the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right, shall be delivered to the holders of record of the shares of Series K Preferred Stock at their addresses as they appear on the Corporation's stock transfer records and notice shall be provided to the Corporation's transfer agent. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of any share of Series K Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the events constituting the Change of Control; (ii) the date of the Change of Control; (iii) the last date on which the holders of Series K Preferred Stock may exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right; (iv) the method and period for calculating the Common Stock Price; (v) the Change of Control Conversion Date; (vi) that if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Corporation has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of the Series K Preferred Stock, the holder will not be able to convert shares of Series K Preferred Stock designated for redemption and such shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall be redeemed on the related redemption date, even if they have already been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control Conversion Right; (vii) if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series K Preferred Stock; (viii) the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent; and (ix) the procedures that the holders of Series K Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right.

(6) In order to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right, a holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock shall be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Change of Control Conversion Date, the certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written conversion notice completed, to the Corporation's transfer agent. Such notice shall state: (i) the relevant Change of Control Conversion Date; (ii) the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be converted; and (iii) that the shares of Series K Preferred Stock are to be converted pursuant to the applicable provisions of these Articles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Series K Preferred Stock are held in global form, such notice shall comply with applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”).

(7) Holders of Series K Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Change of Control Conversion Right (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporation's transfer agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date. The notice of withdrawal must state: (i) the number of withdrawn shares of Series K Preferred Stock; (ii) if certificated shares of Series K Preferred Stock have been issued, the certificate numbers of the shares of withdrawn Series K Preferred Stock; and (iii) the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the conversion notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

if the shares of Series K Preferred Stock are held in global form, the notice of withdrawal shall comply with applicable procedures of DTC.

(8) Shares of Series K Preferred Stock as to which the Change of Control Conversion Right has been properly exercised and for which the conversion notice has not been properly withdrawn shall be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration in accordance with the Change of Control Conversion Right on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

(9) The Corporation shall deliver the applicable Conversion Consideration no later than the third business day following the Change of Control Conversion Date.

(10) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such shares of Series K Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares of Common Stock would cause the holder of such shares of Common Stock (or any other person) to violate the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, respectively.

(j) Information Rights. During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any Series K Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall (i) transmit by mail (or other permissible means under the Exchange Act) to all holders of Series K Preferred Stock as their names and addresses appear in the Corporation's record books and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it were subject thereto (other than any exhibits, including certifications, that would have been required) and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any prospective holder of Series K Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall mail (or otherwise provide) the information to the holders of Series K Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, if we were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Such conversion shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or change in capital structure.

(b) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article III, at any time, there is a purported Transfer or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation which, if effective, would cause the Corporation to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code then the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or both, being Transferred which would cause the Corporation to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or held by a Person in excess of that Person's Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, as applicable (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall automatically become Excess Stock. Such conversion shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or change in capital structure.

(b) Any Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of shares of Capital Stock and any Person (including the shareholder of record) who is holding Capital Stock for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner, and any proposed transferee of shares,

(vi) Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Subsection (h) of this Section 2 of this Article III, nothing contained in this Article III shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable (i) to protect the Corporation and the interests of its shareholders in the preservation of the Corporation's status as a REIT, and (ii) to insure compliance with the Ownership Limit and the Existing Holder Limit.

(viii) Exceptions. The Board of Directors, upon advice from, or an opinion from, Counsel, may exempt a Person from the Ownership Limit if such Person is a Look Through Entity, provided, however, in no event may any such exception cause such Person's ownership, direct or indirect (without taking into account such Person's ownership of interests in TRG), to exceed 9.9% of the value of the outstanding Capital Stock.

For a period of 90 days following the purchase of Regular Capital Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a Look Through Entity and (ii) participates in a public offering of the Regular Capital Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Regular Capital Stock purchased by it as a part of such public offering.

(e) Excess Stock.

(i) Surrender of Excess Stock to Designated Agent. Within thirty business days of the date upon which the Corporation determines that shares have become Excess Stock, the Corporation, by written notice to the Purported Transferee, shall demand that any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the shares of Excess Stock be immediately surrendered to the Designated Agent (the "Demand").

(1) the Net Sales Proceeds; or

(2) the price per share that such Purported Transferee paid for the Regular Capital Stock in the purported Transfer that resulted in the Excess Stock, or if the Purported Transferee did not give value for such shares (because the Transfer was, for example, through a gift, devise or other transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price determined using the date of the purported Transfer that resulted in the Excess Stock as the relevant date.

(c) If some or all of the shares of Excess Stock have been sold prior to receiving the Demand, such sale shall be deemed to been made for the benefit of and as the agent for the Designated Charity. The Purported Transferee shall pay to the Designated Agent, within thirty business days of the date of the Demand, the entire gross proceeds realized upon such sale. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Designated Agent may grant written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain an amount from the gross proceeds equal to the amount the Purported Transferee would have been entitled to receive had the Designated Agent sold the shares as provided in Item (iii)(b) of this Subsection (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III.

(d) The Designated Agent shall promptly pay to the Designated Charity any Excess Share Distributions recovered by the Designated Agent and the excess, if any, of the Net Sales Proceeds over the amount due to the Purported Transferee as provided in Item (iii)(b) of this Subsection (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III.

(iv) Voting Rights. The Designated Agent shall have the exclusive right to vote all shares of Excess Stock as the attorney-in-fact for the Designated Charity.

(v) Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of the Corporation, a Purported Transferee shall be entitled to receive the lesser of (i) that amount which would have been due to such Purported Transferee had the Designated Agent sold the shares of Excess Stock as provided in Item (iii)(b) of this Subsection (e) of this Section 2 of this Article III and (ii) that amount which would have been due to the Purported Transferee if the Transfer had been valid under Item (ii) of Subsection (d) of this Section 2 of this Article III, determined (A) in the case of Common Stock, pursuant to Subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2 of this Article III, and (B) in the case of Preferred Stock, pursuant to the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, amended as authorized by Section 1 of this Article III, which sets forth the liquidation rights of such class or series of Preferred Stock. With respect to shares of Excess Stock, a Purported Transferee shall not have any rights to share in the assets of the Corporation upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation other than the right to receive the amount determined in the preceding sentence and shall not be entitled to any preference or priority (as a creditor of the Corporation) over the holders of the shares

of Regular Capital Stock. Any Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be paid to the Designated Charity.

(vi) Action by Corporation to Enforce Transfer Restrictions.

At no charge, any shareholder may receive a written statement of the restrictions on transfer and ownership that are imposed by the Articles."

(g) Severability. If any provision of this Article III or any application of any such provision is determined to be invalid by any Federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.

(h) New York Stock Exchange Settlement. Nothing contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange or of any other stock exchange on which shares of the Common Stock or class or series of Preferred Stock may be listed, or of the Nasdaq National Market (if the shares are quoted on such Market) and which has conditioned such listing or quotation on the inclusion in the Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of a provision such as this Subsection (h). The fact that the settlement of any transaction is permitted shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article III and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article III.

Subject to the foregoing, a Director shall be deemed and considered in all respects and for all purposes to be a Director of the Corporation, including, without limitation, having the authority to vote or act on all matters, including, without limitation, matters submitted to a vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors or at any meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors, and the application to such Director of Articles VII and VIII of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, notwithstanding a Purported Transferee's unauthorized exercise of voting rights with respect to such Director's election.

ARTICLE VII

Limited Liability of Directors

No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of the director's fiduciary duty; provided, however, the foregoing provision shall not be deemed to limit a director's liability to the Corporation or its shareholders resulting from:


(i)	a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders;


(ii)	acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;


(iii)	a violation of Section 551(1) of the Act or;


(iv)	a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Etc.

1. Indemnification of Directors.

The Corporation shall and does hereby indemnify a person (including the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person) who is or was a party to, or who is threatened to be made a party to, a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director (or in a similar capacity, including serving as a member of the Partnership Committee and of any other committee of TRG) or in any other representative capacity of another foreign or domestic corporation or of or with respect to any other entity (including TRG), whether for profit or not,

against expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding. This Section 1 of this Article VIII is intended to grant the persons herein described with the fullest protection not prohibited by existing law in effect as of the date of filing this Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or such greater protection as may be permitted or not prohibited under succeeding provisions of law.

2. Indemnification of Officers, Etc.

The Corporation has the power to indemnify a person (including the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person) who is or was a party to, or who is threatened to be made a party to, a threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership (including TRG), joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders, and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless ordered by a court, an indemnification under this Section 2 of this Article VIII shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 2 of this Article VIII.

3. Advancement of Expenses.

The Corporation shall pay the expenses incurred by a person described in Section 1 of this Article VIII in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding described in such Section 1 in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding. The Corporation shall pay the expenses incurred by a person described in Section 2 of this Article VIII in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding described in such Section 2 in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such undertaking shall be by unlimited general obligation of the person on whose behalf advances are made but need not be secured.
