Contributing Partner with respect to the exercise of a Redemption Right for
such Units, and any Units purchased shall be owned by the General Partner for

have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such
redeemed or purchased Units; provided, however, that Contributing Partner's
rights under this Agreement with regard to any other Units will continue in
full force and effect.
(e) No fractional Shares shall be issued hereunder. In lieu of
fractional Shares, the General Partner shall pay cash based on the Current Per
Share Market Price on the relevant Computation Date.
3. Exercise of Redemption Rights.
3.1 Time for Exercise of Redemption Rights. Contributing Partner may
exercise his Redemption Rights in whole or in part and at any time and from
time to time on or after the second anniversary of the date hereof but prior to
the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Redemption Rights may not be
exercised at any one time by Contributing Partner with respect to less than
1,000 Units (or all the Units then owned by Contributing Partner if
Contributing Partner owns less than 1,000 Units) or in the event that such
exercise of Redemption Rights (or the assignment of Units or delivery of either
the Cash Purchase Price or the Share Purchase Price with respect thereto)
violates the terms of the Partnership Agreement or applicable law. Once given,
a Notice shall be irrevocable subject to the payment of the Purchase Price for
the Units specified therein in accordance with the terms hereof.
3.2 Method of Exercise. The Redemption Rights shall be exercised by
written notice (the "Notice") to the Partnership in the form of Exhibit A
specifying the number of Units to be redeemed and the name or names (with
address) in which any Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be registered
if different than the Contributing Partner.
3.3 Closing. The closing of the redemption or purchase and sale pursuant
to an exercise of the Redemption Rights shall occur within 30 days following
the giving of the Notice. Contributing Partner shall execute such documents as
the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the closing of
such redemption or purchase and sale.
3.4 Payment of Cash or Issuance of Shares. At the closing of the
redemption or purchase and sale of Units pursuant to an
6
7
exercise of Redemption Rights, the Partnership shall deliver to Contributing
Partner the Cash Purchase Price by check or, in the event that the General
Partner has assumed the obligations of the Partnership with respect to such
exercise of Redemption Rights, the General Partner shall deliver to the
Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, which may be exercised in
the General Partner's sole discretion, either (a) the Cash Purchase Price in
immediately available funds or (b) certificates representing the Shares and any
other securities constituting the Share Purchase Price, together with cash in
lieu of the issuance of any fraction of a Share as provided in Section 2(e), or
a combination thereof.
4. Matters Relating to Shares.
4.1 Registration.
(a) The General Partner shall (i) prepare, file and use reasonable efforts
to cause to become effective on or before the ninetieth day following the
second anniversary of the date hereof a registration statement, which may be on
Form S-3, under the Securities Act relating to the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights assuming full satisfaction of the Redemption
Rights by delivery of Shares and (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.
(b) The General Partner shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred prior
to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof with respect to filing and
keeping effective the registration statement through such date, and the
Unitholders shall reimburse the General Partner for Registration Expenses (or a
pro rata portion of the Registration Expenses based on the number of Shares
issuable to such Unitholders upon full exercise of the Redemption Rights of
such Unitholders relative to the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to
such registration statement) which are incurred after the seventh anniversary
of the date hereof in respect of maintaining effective (but not the initial
filing and causing to become effective of) such registration statement;
provided, however, that Contributing Partner shall not be required to reimburse
any costs (i) of preparing any documents filed with the SEC that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or (ii) that become
necessary because the General Partner is unable to use Form S-3
7
8
(or any equivalent short form that relies on incorporation by reference) for
the reason that the General Partner has failed to comply on a timely basis with
any requirement of the Acts or Form S-3. The reimbursement of such expenses by
the Unitholders shall be paid upon demand.
(c) If under the Securities Act or then current SEC policy the
above-described registration of the Shares constituting the Share Purchase
Price (assuming full satisfaction of the Redemption Rights by delivery of
Shares) is not permitted for any reason or the public resale of such Shares may
not be effected by Contributing Partner without the further registration under
the Securities Act of such Shares for resale, the General Partner shall use
reasonable efforts to register such Shares for resale, which may be
accomplished by means of a shelf registration (and the General Partner shall
not be required to register such Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(a)), and
Contributing Partner and the General Partner shall enter into customary
agreements with respect thereto which contain provisions similar to those
contained in Section 4.1(a) and (b) (except that (i) such registration
statement only shall be maintained until the Shares registered thereunder have
been sold or are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the
Securities Act (without regard to the period that Units were held prior to the
exchange of such Units for Shares pursuant to the Redemption Rights) and (ii)
after the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, Contributing Partner shall
pay the Registration Expenses therefor or a pro rata portion thereof based on
the number of Shares of Contributing Partner which remain available for sale
pursuant to such registration statement relative to the total number of Shares
that remain available for sale pursuant to such registration statement) and
other customary provisions, including without limitation customary
indemnification provisions.
(d) If a registration statement referred to in Section 4.1(a) or (c) is
not effective on the later of the ninetieth day following the second
anniversary of the date hereof and the closing pursuant to any exercise of
Redemption Rights where Shares are otherwise issuable (unless, in either case,
Contributing Partner has defaulted hereunder), the General Partner shall not
have the right to deliver the Share Purchase Price in respect of such exercise
of Redemption Rights, and the General Partner or the Partnership shall deliver
the Cash Purchase Price on the date specified in Section 3.3 (but the General
Partner shall not otherwise have any liability therefor); provided, however,
that the General Partner may
8
9
deliver Shares if it previously filed a registration statement under Section
4.1(c) and such registration statement has not yet been declared effective
solely by reason of the fact that the Shares are not yet outstanding. In the
event that Shares are delivered to Contributing Partner pursuant to an exercise
of Redemption Rights and the proviso contained in the immediately preceding
sentence and the registration statement referred to in such sentence shall not
have been declared effective on or before the tenth business day following
delivery of such Shares, the General Partner shall, upon written notice from
Contributing Partner to the General Partner, repurchase such Shares, and
Contributing Partner shall sell such Shares to the General Partner, for a
purchase price equal to the Cash Purchase Price relating to such exercise of
Redemption Rights. Each of Contributing Partner and the General Partner shall
execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by the other to
effectuate such repurchase and sale.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General
Partner shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Section 4.1 effective after the Expiration Date or if the
status of the General Partner (or its successor) as an Exchange Act Reporting
Company is terminated or all of the Unitholders notify the General Partner in
writing that the General Partner no longer need keep such registration
statement effective.
4.2 Reservation of Shares. At all times while the Redemption Rights are
outstanding, the General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of
Shares as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue Shares in
full satisfaction of all Redemption Rights which are from time to time
outstanding (assuming no limitations as to the ownership of such Shares under
the Certificate of Incorporation which relate to compliance with the REIT
Requirements and that the General Partner elected to pay the Share Purchase
Price with respect to all such Redemption Rights).
4.3 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights shall be duly and validly issued and fully
paid and non-assessable.
5. Transfer and Other Taxes. In the event that any state or local
property transfer or other tax is payable as the result of or in connection
with any exercise of the Redemption Rights by Contributing Partner, Contributor
Partner shall pay such tax, and no Shares shall be issued pursuant hereto until
such
9
10
Contributor Partner has paid to the General Partner or the Partnership, as
the case may be, the amount of such tax or has provided evidence, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner or the Partnership, as the case
may be, as to the payment thereof.
6. Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions.
(a) The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted in the event that the General
Partner (i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Shares in Shares or
makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii)
subdivides its outstanding Shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares
into a smaller number of Shares. The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such
dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes
that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of
such time) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares
(determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record
date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination. Any
adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after
the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for
such event.
(b) If at any time the General Partner grants to its stockholders any
right to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the General Partner,
whether Common Stock or other classifications, or for any other securities or
interests that Contributing Partner would have been entitled to subscribe for
if, immediately prior to such grant, Contributing Partner had exercised his
Redemption Rights and received the Share Purchase Price in payment thereof, in
lieu of any adjustment under any other subsection of this Section 6 or other
provision of this Agreement, then the General Partner also shall grant to
Contributing Partner the same subscription rights that Contributing Partner
would be entitled to if Contributing Partner had exercised his Redemption
Rights in full and received the Share Purchase Price in satisfaction thereof
prior to such grant.
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction Event where at least
one-half of the value (as determined in good faith by the General Partner) of
the consideration received by the stockholders of the General Partner in
connection with such
10
11
Major Transaction Event is in the form of securities in a successor entity,
the General Partner shall cause effective provision to be made so that, upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights and payment of the Purchase Price at any time
following such Major Transaction Event by means of the Share Purchase Price,
Unitholders shall have the right to acquire, in lieu of the Shares which
otherwise would have been issued to Contributing Partner, the kind and amount
of shares of stock and other securities and property (and the provisions
contained in Section 4.1 shall apply anew to the extent that such securities
are of a class of securities of the General Partner or its successor that are
registered under the Exchange Act) and interests as would be issued or payable
with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares constituting the Share
Purchase Price as if such Redemption Rights had been exercised and the General
Partner had satisfied the Redemption Rights by delivery of the Share Purchase
Price immediately before such Major Transaction Event.
(d) In the event of any other Major Transaction Event, each Unitholder
shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Rights in full prior to the
consummation of such Major Transaction Event, and, with respect to any Shares
acquired upon exercise thereof, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the
other holders of Shares with respect to any distribution by the General Partner
(or the other party to such Major Transaction Event) in connection with such
Major Transaction Event. If not exercised within forty-five days after written
notice from the General Partner of such Major Transaction Event or such shorter
period between the date of such notice and the effective date of such Major
Transaction Event, the Redemption Rights shall terminate at the expiration of
such period, but the Redemption Rights shall be revived if such Major
Transaction Event is not consummated.
(e) The Partnership shall give written notice of any Major Transaction
Event promptly after such Major Transaction is announced to the public.
(f) The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive events that
may occur from time to time but only shall apply to a particular event if it
occurs prior to the exercise in full of the Redemption Rights or the
liquidation of the Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or
otherwise limit the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, as amended from time to time.
11
12
(g) Whenever the Conversion Factor is adjusted as herein provided, the
General Partner shall compute the adjusted Conversion Factor in accordance with
this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial
officer of the General Partner setting forth the adjusted Conversion Factor and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and
such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the offices of the General Partner
and mailed to the holders of the Redemption Rights within thirty days of any
such adjustment.
