Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated December 2, 1999 attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference herein, RECP II Anthracite, LLC (the "Investor"), acquired from the Company 1,200,000 shares of 10.5% Series A Senior Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock") of the Company. In order to issue the Preferred Stock, the Company filed Articles Supplementary (the "Articles Supplementary") with the State of Delaware on December 2, 1999, incorporated by reference herein and attached hereto as Exhibit 5. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time after the issuance of such share, into such number of shares of common stock as is determined by dividing $25.00 by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) in effect on the date such share certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price is $7.35, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price in effect at the time, upon the occurrence, at any time on or after December 2, 2002, of the closing of a public offering of Shares pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which (i) the aggregate offering price is not less than $10 million and (ii) the offering price per share is at least 150% of the then applicable Conversion Price. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has reserved 4,081,633 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holders at any time on or after December 2, 2006. Within five months after receipt by the Company of a (Page 21 of 133 Pages) written request (a "Redemption Election") from a holder of the then outstanding Preferred Stock that all of its shares of Preferred Stock be redeemed, the Company shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, redeem the number of shares specified in the Redemption Election by paying in cash therefor a sum per share equal to $27.75 per share of Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company, each holder has the right to require that the Company, to the extent it may lawfully do so, purchase for cash all of that holder's shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to $27.75 per share of Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. In the event that the Company fails to comply with any of the covenants made by it in the Articles Supplementary for a period of 150 days following a notice of breach, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock has the right to cause the Company, to redeem all of that holder's shares of Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to $30.525 per share of Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, at any time after December 2, 2002, the Company has the right to redeem all but not less than all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof at a redemption price equal to $27.75 per share of Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares, provided that the average closing price per share of the common stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange for the ninety days immediately prior to the date of the notice of redemption is at least 150% of the applicable conversion price on the date of such notice. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock have the option to purchase a portion of any new equity securities offered by the Company other than in a public offering or securities issued to employees of the manager of the Company pursuant to the Company's compensatory stock option plans at the same price per share and upon the same terms as specified in the notice. Each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right to purchase that number of the offered new securities as shall be equal to the number of offered new securities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock of the Company then held by the holder plus all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible securities of the Company (including the Preferred Stock) and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of common stock plus all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible securities of the Company. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the Company has a right of first offer with respect to any sale of Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote as a single class with the holders of common stock, and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which such Preferred Stock could then be converted. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. F. TRANSFER OR RE-SALE. The Buyer understands that: (i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (a) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Securities are sold or transferred in compliance with certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation as amended (the "Articles") relating to Company's election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a "REIT") under the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") as described more fully in the Company's registration statement on Form S-3, which does not register the sale of the Preferred Shares to the Buyer, originally filed under Rule 415 of the 1933 Act with the SEC on April 1, 1999 (Registration No. 333-75473) (as amended, the "Registration Statement") under the section titled "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK - Repurchase of Shares and Restrictions on Transfer," (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144") of the Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 2(F) and who is an Accredited Investor or (d) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144 if available; (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule 144 and further, if said Rule 144 is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any further obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) . Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. G. LEGENDS. The Buyer understands that the Preferred Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities): "The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state of the United States. The securities represented hereby may not be offered, sold, or otherwise transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under the applicable securities laws or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under said act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement." The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is sold pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. (Page 74 of 133 Pages) Until (i) the Board of Directors of the Company determines it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to, or continue to, qualify as a REIT and (ii) there is an affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of all of the votes ordinarily entitled to be cast in the election of directors, voting together as a single class approving the determination of the Board of Directors set forth in clause (i) above, the Preferred Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities): "The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Company's election to be subject to tax as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Subject to the exemptions granted under (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 2, 1999, between the Company and RECP II Anthracite, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("RECP II"), a wholly owned subsidiary of DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners II, L.P. ("RECP") and that certain letter from the Company to RECP II and RECP dated December 2, 1999 regarding such exemptions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6.1.7 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, no Person may (i) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock in excess of 9.8% of the number of outstanding shares of such class or series of Preferred Stock, (iii) Beneficially Own shares of Equity Stock that would result in the shares of Equity Stock being Beneficially Owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), or (iv) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock that would result in the Company being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Company in writing. If the restrictions above are violated, the shares of Equity Stock represented hereby will be transferred automatically and by operation of law to a Trust and shall be designated Shares-in-Trust. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Company's Articles filed with the Department of Assessment and Taxation of the State of Maryland on March 20, 1998, as the same may be further amended from time to time (the "Articles"), a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests." H. OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS. Subject to Sections 3(Y), 4(H) and 6(I) hereof, the Buyer understands the restrictions on transfer and ownership of the Company's shares of beneficial interest included in the Articles and this Agreement as such restrictions relate to the election by the Company to be taxed as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code (the "REIT Provisions of the Code"), and as described in the Registration Statement the section titled "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK - Repurchase of Shares and Restrictions on Transfer." I. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by the Buyer.

In accordance with Section 3(Y), the Company shall have taken all action necessary to (i) exempt the Buyer, RECP, the Ownership Limitation Affiliates or any Qualifying Transferee from the Ownership Limit (as defined in the Articles) pursuant to Section 6.1.7. of the Articles, as set forth in the Exemption Letter, with respect to all Preferred Shares and the Allowed Common Shares and (ii) cause the Buyer, the Ownership Limitation Affiliates or any Qualifying Transferee to be exempt from the "Interested Stockholder" and "Control Share Acquisition" provisions (Subtitles 6 and 7 of Title 3) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, with respect to the ownership by the Buyer, RECP, the Ownership Limitation Affiliates or any Qualifying Transferee of the Preferred Shares and any future ownership of Allowed Common Shares, and the Company will not take any action that results in the Buyer, the Ownership Limitation Affiliates or any Qualifying Transferee no longer being exempted or excepted, as applicable, from the Ownership Limit and Maryland law provisions, as described above, provided such persons comply with the terms and conditions of the Exemption Letter. Any transferee of the Buyer (i) which is not an "individual" (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h)(3), i.e., not treating a pension fund under Section 401(a) of the Code as an individual), (ii) whose ownership of Preferred Shares or Allowed Common Shares into which such Preferred Shares are convertible will not cause the Company to (a) fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code or (b) be a "pension-held REIT" within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code and (iii) who executes a shareholder undertaking substantially similar to that executed by Buyer in connection with the Company's issuance of the Exemption (a "Qualifying Transferee"), shall, upon such transfer, be (i) exempt from the Ownership Limit with respect to the Preferred Shares and the Allowed Common Shares, as set forth in the Exemption Letter, and (ii) exempt from the "Interested Stockholder" and "Control Share Acquisition" provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Company shall have delivered a letter to the Buyer, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer confirming the above described exemptions from the Ownership Limit and "Interested Stockholder" and "Control Share Acquisition" provisions. J. The Buyer shall have received the following, addressed to them and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to them: (Page 85 of 133 Pages) (i) certified copies of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, each of the other agreements, instruments and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby including the issuance and sale of the Securities; (ii) certified copies of the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company as in effect at the Closing; (iii) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company dated the Closing Date, as to the incumbency and signatures of the officers executing this Agreement and all instruments executed pursuant hereto; (iv) Officer's Certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, of the Company to the effect set forth in Sections 6(A) (with respect to performance and compliance with the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Agreement) and 6(D); and (v) the opinion of each of (A) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and (B) Miles & Stockbridge, P.C., Maryland counsel to the Company, each in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and its counsel. K. All matters relating to this Agreement, the Registration Right Agreement, the Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the legal and organizational structure of the Company shall be reasonably satisfactory from a legal point of view to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall have received such additional certificates, legal opinions and other documentation as it may have reasonably requested with respect to this Agreement, the Registration Right Agreement, the Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. L. Andrew P. Rifkin shall be appointed a Director of the Company by the Buyer. 7. INDEMNIFICATION A. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and permitted assigns from and against any and all (x) liabilities, losses or damages ("Loss") and (y) reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses ("Expense") incurred by such party in connection with (i) the Company's breach or failure to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement, the Articles Supplementary, the Registration Rights Agreement or in connection with the enforcement by the Buyer of any of the Company's obligations or covenants hereunder or thereunder including the enforcement of this indemnity and (ii) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, or misrepresentation or omission, made by the Company in this Agreement. B. The Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Company and its trustees, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and permitted assigns harmless from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with (i) the Buyer's breach or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or in connection with the enforcement by the Company of any of the Buyer's obligations or covenants hereunder or thereunder including the enforcement of this Indemnity and (ii) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, or misrepresentation or omission, made by the Buyer in this Agreement. C. If a party believes that any of the persons entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 has suffered or incurred any Loss or incurred any Expense, such party shall notify the indemnifying party (Page 86 of 133 Pages) promptly in writing describing such Loss or Expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Loss or Expense, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles Supplementary, the Registration Rights Agreement, or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss or Expense shall have occurred; provided, however, that the omission by such indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligation under this Section 7 except to the extent that such indemnifying party suffers a material Loss as a result of such failure to give notice. If any action at law or suit in equity is instituted against a third party with respect to which any of the persons entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 intends to claim any liability or expense as Loss or Expense under this Section 7, any such person shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such action or suit as specified in this Section 7(C) and in Section 7(D). D. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the indemnified persons shall give notice thereof to the indemnifying party not later than 20 business days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim is required, if possible, and in any event within 15 days following the date such indemnified person has actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that the omission by such indemnified party to give notice as provided therein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligation under this Section 7 except to the extent that such indemnifying party suffers a material Loss as a result of such failure to give notice. In the event of any such claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the indemnifying party may, at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that counsel for the indemnifying party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or legal proceeding, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and provided, further, that if the defendants in any such actions include both the indemnified persons and the indemnifying party and the indemnified persons shall have reasonably concluded based on a written opinion of counsel that there may be legal defenses or rights available to them which have not been waived and are in actual or potential conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified persons shall have the right to select one law firm reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party to act as separate counsel, on behalf of such indemnified persons, at the expense of the indemnifying party. Unless the indemnified persons are represented by separate counsel pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, if an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim of legal proceeding, such indemnifying party shall not consent to entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, that (a) is not subject to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, (b) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the indemnified persons or (c) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified persons of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person (which consent, in the case of clauses (b) and (c), shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that unless the indemnified persons are represented by separate counsel pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the indemnified persons may, at their own expense, participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of their choice without any right of control thereof. So long as the indemnifying party is in good faith defending such claim or proceeding, the indemnified persons shall not compromise or settle such claim or proceeding without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation in accordance with the terms hereof, the indemnified persons may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as they may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, settling such claim or litigation (after giving prior written notice of the same to the indemnifying party) on such terms as the indemnified persons may deem appropriate, and the indemnifying party will promptly indemnify the indemnified persons in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.

("RECP"). WHEREAS: A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the parties hereto of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to the Investor shares of its preferred stock ("Preferred Stock"), $.001 par value per share, designated and classified 10.5% Series A Senior Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), that are convertible into shares (as converted, the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Articles Supplementary to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles Supplementary"); and B. To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and applicable state securities laws; C. The Company registered Preferred Stock and Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 filed under Rule 415 of the 1933 Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that was declared effective by the SEC on September 29, 1999 (Registration No. 333-75473) (the "Existing Registration Statement"). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agrees as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS. A. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Investor" means RECP II Anthracite, LLC and any transferee or assignee who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof. (ii) "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or Statements in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). (iii) "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Preferred Shares, (ii) any (Page 99 of 133) securities of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange by the Company generally for, or in replacement by the Company generally of, the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares or (iii) any securities issued in exchange for Registrable Securities in any merger or reorganization of the Company. (iv) "Registration Period" means the period ending on the earliest to occur of (i) the sale of all the Registrable Securities under an effective Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act and can be sold in one transaction in accordance with the volume limitations contained in Rule 144(e)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act, if applicable. (v) "Registration Statement(s)" means a registration statement(s) of the Company under the 1933 Act covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, including the Existing Registration Statement as amended by a post-effective amendment allowing the Registrable Securities to be included in the Existing Registration Statement. B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 2. REGISTRATION. A. DEMAND REGISTRATION. The Company, within sixty (60) days of the date hereof, shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities) (the "Investor Registration Statement"), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and complying as to form in all material respects with applicable SEC rules. The number of shares of Preferred Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall equal the number of Preferred Shares issued. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall equal the number of Conversion Shares that are then issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions, and to the extent necessary such Registration Statement shall be amended from time to time to cover additional Registrable Securities of the Investor. B. UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. If any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(A) hereof involves an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2E herein, the Investor shall have the right to select one legal counsel and an investment banker or bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering, which investment banker or bankers or manager or managers and legal counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. C. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2(C), if at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, the Company shall determine to file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), the Company shall send to the Investor who is entitled to registration rights under this Section 2(C) written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) days after the date of such written notice, the Investor (Page 100 of 133) shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities the Investor requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in the good faith judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing or other factors dictate that such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited number of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall advise. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investor and any other holders of Registrable Securities seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by the Investor and such other holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to demand registration rights in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however, that any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(C) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(A) hereof. If an offering in connection with which the Investor is entitled to registration under this Section 2(C) is an underwritten offering, then the Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the registration rights of the Investor pursuant to this Section 2(C) shall only be available in the event and at such times as the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(A) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company files a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(C), the Company shall take the steps necessary to obtain the effectiveness of or shall take no steps to cause the lapse in effectiveness of, as the case may be, of any such Registration Statement even if a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(A) or this Section 2(C) becomes effective; provided, further, however, that nothing contained in the preceding two provisos shall (i) be construed as requiring the Company to register or maintain the registration of any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to more than one Registration Statement; or (ii) diminish the Company's obligation to register all of the Registrable Securities. D. ELIGIBILITY FOR FORM S-3. The Company represents and warrants that it currently complies with the registrant eligibility and transaction requirements for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the sale by the Investor and of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall use its best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-3 until the expiration of the Registration Period. 3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations: A. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(A), and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the (Page 101 of 133) Investor Registration Statement was filed with the SEC), and keep the Investor Registration Statement effective, free of material misstatements or omissions (including the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for such purpose), pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the expiration of the Registration Period and as a result of the event or circumstance described in the foregoing clause, the legend with respect to transfer restrictions required under the Agreement is removed. The Investor Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall comply with all applicable SEC rules and regulations and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except for an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use therein). B. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Investor Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Investor Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Investor Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period except for Allowed Delays, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Investor Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement. C. The Company shall furnish to the Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement and its legal counsel, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of the Investor Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(A), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. The Company will promptly notify the Investor by facsimile of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon as practicable following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review. D. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement prior to the time that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under all other securities or "blue sky" laws of all jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a) qualify to do (Page 102 of 133) business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(D), (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction and (c) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. E. In the event of an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities, the Investor shall select underwriters for the offering and the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriters of such offering. The Company shall only be obligated to effect two such underwritten offerings pursuant to Section 2(B) hereof. F. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify the Investor of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement or the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Investor as the Investor may reasonably request; provided that, at any time after the date which is thirty (30) days after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC for not more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company (as well as prospectus or Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of which would materially impede, delay or interfere with any pending material financing, acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or require the disclosure of important information which the Company has a material business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would materially impede the Company's ability to consummate a significant transaction (an "Allowed Delay"); provided that no more than three such Allowed Delays may be made in any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investor in writing of the existence of an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Investor in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay. Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of this Section 3(F) with respect to the information giving rise thereto. G. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof. H. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the holders whose shares make up at least a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), other than documents filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a reasonable period of time (but not less than five (5) business days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto) prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such counsel. The sections of such Registration Statement covering information with respect to the Investor, the Investor's beneficial (Page 103 of 133) ownership of securities of the Company or the Investor's intended method of disposition of Registrable Securities shall conform in all material respects to the information provided to the Company by the Investor. I. The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement. J. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investor, and (iii) one firm of attorneys retained by all such underwriters (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector to enable each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor or another Inspector) of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information in such Records to any Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into confidentiality agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 3(J). The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and the Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investor's ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. K. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. L. The Company shall cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted (Page 104 of 133) under the rules of such exchange. Additionally, the Company shall, promptly after the registration of the Conversion Shares with the SEC, apply to list the Conversion Shares on the New York Stock Exchange. M. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement. N. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investor may request. Additionally, management of the Company shall make itself reasonably available in order to cooperate in good faith with the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with any road show, presentations or conference calls undertaken in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(B) hereof. O. The Company shall, if reasonably requested by the Investor or Investor's counsel, incorporate as promptly as practicable in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Investor or Investor's counsel requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Investor to any underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of any underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and the Company shall as promptly as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. P. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Investor in good faith to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law or the Company's Articles of Incorporation) representing Registrable Securities sold under a Registration Statement to the purchasers thereof, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investor may request and keep available and make available to the Company's transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement a supply of such certificates. Q. The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as the Investor or the underwriters participating in an underwritten public offering, if any, may reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities. The Investor may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of any underwriters also be made to and for the benefit of the Investor. R. The Company shall furnish to the Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in the offering and to each underwriter, if any, if requested by the Investor or underwriter, a signed counterpart, addressed to the Investor or underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company's independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be. S. The Company shall, during the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, file in a timely fashion all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. (Page 105 of 133) T. The Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any successor rule or similar provision or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Investor, the Company will deliver to such Investor a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. U. The Company covenants that it will file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor, make available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Investor may request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any successor rule or similar provision or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investor shall have the following obligations. A. The Investor shall promptly furnish (but in no event later than three (3) business days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or amendment(s) or supplement(s) thereto with respect to the Registrable Securities) to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least six (6) business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement and any amendment(s) or supplement(s) thereto, the Company shall notify the Investor of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor and the Investor shall supply or cause its representatives to supply such information within three (3) business days; provided, however, that if the Investor fails to deliver to the Company the information referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or amendment(s) or supplement(s) thereto, the Investor shall bear the cost of any additional Registration Statement or amendment(s) or supplement(s) thereto which the Company is required to file due solely to such failure; provided, however, that the failure of the Investor to provide such information shall not delay or otherwise prevent the Company from the filing of the Registration Statement or amendment(s) or supplement(s) thereto. B. The Investor, by the Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities for inclusion in a Registration Statement, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company in writing of the Investor's election to exclude all of the Investor's Registrable Securities from a Registration Statement. C. In the event the Investor determines to engage the services of an underwriter, the Investor agrees to enter into and perform the Investor's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, (Page 106 of 133) with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of the Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement. D. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(F) or 3(G), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(F) or 3(G) or notice from the Company that such supplement or amendment is not necessary and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. E. No Investor may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Investor (i) agrees to sell the Investor's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any expenses in excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 below. F. At any time after the date which is thirty (30) days after the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, in connection with any firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Common Stock (other than any registration by the Company on Form S-4 or S-8, as the case may be, or a successor or substantially similar form, of (A) an employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan or (B) a dividend reinvestment plan) resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000 led by at least one underwriter of nationally recognized standing (a "Qualified Public Offering"), the Investor agrees, if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or the underwriters administering such offering, not to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement in any public sale for a period commencing on the seventh day prior to the expected effective date of the registration statement covering such Qualified Public Offering or the date on which the proposed offering is expected to commence (which date shall be stated in such notice) and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter in such written request to the Investor, which date shall not be later than forty-five (45) days after such expected date of effectiveness or the commencement of the offering, as the case may be (the "Underwriters Lock-Up Period"); provided that such underwriters in good faith determine that the sale of the Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on such Qualified Public Offering; and further, provided that all of the Company's directors, executive officers and affiliates shall have also agreed to similar restrictions. The Investor shall be subject to no more than one such restriction in each twelve (12) month period during the Registration Period. 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all SEC, state and stock exchange securities registration, listing and qualification fees, all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of the Registration Statement and prospectus (including all expenses incurred with the delivery to the Investor of such number of copies of any prospectus as the Investor may reasonably request), the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the independent public accountants of the Company, shall be borne by the Company (provided that the fees and disbursements of the counsel selected by the (Page 107 of 133) Investor pursuant to Section 3(H) shall be paid by the Investor), whether or not the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: A. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend: (i) the Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, trustees, stockholders, employees, agents and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the Investor (subject to the Company receiving customary indemnification from any such underwriter), and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, if any (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other securities laws including without limitation, any state securities laws, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(C) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or preliminary or final prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(C) hereof, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor. B. In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set (Page 108 of 133) forth in Section 6(A), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation by the Investor, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or preliminary or final prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereof or thereto; and subject to Section 6(C) the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(B) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 6(B) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (after deducting the amounts already paid to Indemnified Parties by the Investor pursuant to this Section 6(B) or Section 7). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(B) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. C. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof at such indemnifying party's or parties' own expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interest under applicable rules of professional conduct or that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay for up to one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investor, if the Investor is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the indemnifying party's counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying party's defense, and counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the Indemnified Party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party (i) is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action, (ii) does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, or (iii) fails to employ counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the (Page 109 of 133) Indemnified Party, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party. In such event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into a settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. D. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to law. 7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution (together with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (after deducting amounts already paid to indemnified parties by the Investor under Sections 6(B) and 7). 8. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Investors. If any successor, assignee or transferee of the Investor shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof. 9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holder(s) of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, Registrable Securities that are owned, directly or indirectly, by either the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. 10. MISCELLANEOUS. (Page 110 of 133) A. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record or beneficially such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of an instruction, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities and the Company shall have no liability for following instructions from the registered owner of the Registrable Securities and the registered owner by providing such instructions agrees to indemnify the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(B). B. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent overnight by express mail or delivered personally or by courier (including an overnight delivery service) or by facsimile and shall be effective upon receipt, if delivered by overnight express mail, personally or by courier (including an overnight delivery service) or by facsimile, in each case addressed to a party.

Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. (Page 111 of 133) D. This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. The parties agree that all disputes between any of them arising out of, connected with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with this Agreement, and whether arising in law or in equity or otherwise, shall be resolved by the federal or state courts located in New York, New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction. In addition, each of the parties hereto consents to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the state of New York in the event that any dispute arises out of this Agreement.

Shea -------------------------------- Richard M. Shea Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer RECP II ANTHRACITE, LLC By: /s/ Philip C. Tager -------------------------------- Name: Philip C. Tager Title: Senior Vice President ADDRESS: 277 Park Avenue, 19th Floor New York, NY 10172 (Page 114 of 133) EX-99.5 6 ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY EXHIBIT 5 ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY OF ANTHRACITE CAPITAL, INC. Anthracite Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation"), certifies as follows: FIRST: Under the authority set forth in Article FIFTH of the charter of the Corporation, as heretofore amended (which, as hereinafter amended or restated from time to time is, together with the Articles Supplementary, herein called the "Articles"), the Board of Directors of the Corporation on September 16, 1999, by resolution duly designated and classified 1,200,000 of the authorized, but unissued shares of the preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Corporation as the "10.5% Series A Senior Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock" (the "Convertible Preferred Stock") and has authorized the issuance and sale of such shares. SECOND: The preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and other provisions of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be included as part of Article FIFTH of the Articles and are as follows: 1. Designation: A series of Preferred Shares, designated as "10.5% Series A Senior Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock," is hereby established. The number of shares constituting such series shall be 1,200,000. 2. Voting Rights. Subject to Section 18, the holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of Common Stock (defined below) on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled to such number of votes per share on each matter submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock as shall equal the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote. 3. Dividends. (a) From the date of original issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Issue Date"), the holders of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount per annum equal to $2.625, of which an amount equal to $.65625 will be payable quarterly. Dividends shall be cumulative, whether or not declared, on a daily basis from the Issue Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each of January 5, April 5, July 5 and October 5 (each a "Dividend Payment Date"). The first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date with respect to the quarter ended December 31, 1999 shall be January 5, 2000 and the dividend payment on such date shall be $.21875 per share. If dividends are payable on a date that is not a business day, payment will be made on the next business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The amount of the dividends payable for any period less than a calendar quarter will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months, based on the actual number of days elapsed. All unpaid dividends will compound on a quarterly basis at a rate of 10.5% per annum. Such dividends shall commence to accrue on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock from the date of issuance, whether or not authorized by the Board of Directors, and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, and such (Page 115 of 133) dividends shall continue to accrue thereon until all amounts payable upon liquidation or redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock are paid in full in cash or upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock as provided in Section 5. If the dividends in respect of any previous or current quarter shall not have been paid, at the rate provided herein, or a sum sufficient for the payment thereof shall not have been set aside for payment, any and all arrearages in the payment thereof shall be paid in full before (i) any dividends or other distributions shall be declared and set aside for payment in respect of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to or on a parity with (subject to the last clause of this Section 3(a)) the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the right to receive dividends or distributions from the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock) or (ii) any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the right to receive dividends or distributions from the Corporation or upon liquidation is redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired in whole or in part by the Corporation for any consideration (or any moneys are paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such capital stock), unless at the same time or prior thereto all accrued but unpaid dividends on any then-outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for all previous quarters and for the current quarter shall be declared, set aside and paid in full to the holders thereof; provided, that if the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that ranks on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock, such payment shall be made ratably among the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and all classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation that rank on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock in such manner so that the amount of distributions paid per share on such shares shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued but unpaid distributions per share on such shares (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such shares do not have cumulative distribution rights) bear to each other. (b) Any distribution payment made on shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock which remains payable. 4. Liquidation of the Corporation. (a) Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made on any shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the right to receive distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock), a per share amount equal to the sum of (i) $27.75 (the "Liquidation Preference"), and (ii) an amount equal to the amount of all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest, computed up to the date that payment thereof is made available. In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Liquidation Preference and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares held by each such holder. In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidation distributions on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and capital stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon such event of liquidation, shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, (Page 116 of 133) unless and until the Liquidation Preference and such accrued but unpaid dividends and unpaid interest has been paid in full to the holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, no dividends or distributions will be made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to liquidations and no payments shall be made (or monies put aside) to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire, with respect to any sinking fund by the Corporation, any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation. The liquidation preference of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock will not be added to the liabilities of the Corporation for purposes of determining whether under Maryland law, a distribution by dividend, redemption or otherwise, may be made to stockholders of the Corporation whose preferential rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily, are junior to those of holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. (b) Notice of Liquidation. The Corporation shall provide each holder of record of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock with written notice of any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, which notice shall set forth the amount of the Liquidation Preference and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest per share and the date on which payments of the Liquidation Preference and all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest shall be payable, not less than 20 days prior to the payment date stated therein, such notice to be addressed to each such holder at its address as shown by the records of the Corporation. 5. Conversions. (a) Automatic Conversion. Beginning on the third anniversary of the Issue Date, each outstanding share of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or the Corporation, and whether or not any of the certificates for such shares are surrendered to the Corporation, immediately upon the occurrence of the Automatic Conversion Event, into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of the Convertible Preferred Stock could have been converted as of the date of the Automatic Conversion Event pursuant to Section 5(b). Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event, the holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be obligated to surrender to the Corporation the certificates evidencing such shares at the principal office of the Corporation (or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock). The Corporation shall then issue and deliver to each such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Common Stock into which the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered were convertible on the date of the Automatic Conversion Event. (b) Right to Convert. Subject to the adjustments contemplated by Section 6 hereof, shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted, in whole or in part, at any time after the issuance thereof until the close of business on the last Trading Day (defined below) prior to the date fixed for redemption of such shares or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, by the holder thereof, without the payment of any additional consideration, in the form of shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. For purposes hereof, the "Conversion Price" per share shall be equal to $7.35 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $25.00 by the Conversion Price (initially equivalent to a conversion ratio of 3.4014 shares of Common Stock for each Convertible Preferred Share). Upon conversion, any accrued and unpaid dividends and interest shall be payable in the form of either shares of Common Stock (valued at the Closing Prices of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the date of conversion) or cash as the Corporation may decide. (Page 117 of 133) (c) Exercise of Right to Convert. The right to convert the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock set forth in Section 5(b) above shall be exercised by the holder of Convertible Preferred Stock only by surrendering to the Corporation for that purpose the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be converted at its principal office (or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock) at any time during its usual business hours, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation stating that the holder elects to convert all or a stated number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock and identifying the name or names (with address and social security or taxpayer identification number) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued and the address at which such certificate or certificates should be delivered (each, a "Conversion Notice"). (d) Issuance of Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the receipt by the Corporation of a Conversion Notice but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter, and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder at the address specified in the Conversion Notice, (i) a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock to which the holder of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be entitled and (ii) if less than the full number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates are to be converted, a new certificate or certificates, for the number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by such surrendered certificate or certificates less the number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock converted into shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation. (e) Effect of Conversion. (1) Any conversion of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock made pursuant to Section 5(b) shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date the Corporation receives the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock being converted and the Conversion Notice, and the rights of the holder thereof with respect to the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall cease, except that the holder thereof shall thereafter have and retain (i) the right to receive shares of the Common Stock (and certificates therefor) in respect of the converted shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 5(d), and (ii) the right to vote such shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders or to receive distributions with respect to such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, in either case as to which the applicable record date established by the Board of Directors for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or entitled to receive distributions, as the case may be, shall occur prior to the date on which such holder shall have delivered the Conversion Notice to the Corporation and surrendered to the Corporation the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion of the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such shares of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the date such shares are converted. (2) Upon the conversion of any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation, each share of the Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. (Page 118 of 133) (f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock. If any fractional share of the Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock but for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 5(f), the Corporation, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the holder of the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price (as defined below) of such fractional share. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a redemption of such shares, a Change of Control, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, such conversion may, at the election of any holder tendering Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the consummation of such event, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until the satisfaction of such conditions. 6. Adjustments to the Conversion Price. (a) Issuance of Additional Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(h), if the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of the Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Current Market Price, then, and in each such event, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, effective as of the close of business on the date of such issuance or sale, to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, by the following fraction: X + Y ----- X + Z Where: "X" equals the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other class or series of convertible securities of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock, or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents"); "Y" equals the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of shares of the Common Stock issued without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Current Market Price would purchase at the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale; and (Page 119 of 133) "Z" equals the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued by the Corporation without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Current Market Price. For the purpose of any computation of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, the "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five Trading Days ending the earlier of the day in question and, if applicable, the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex" date means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or on such successor securities exchange as the Common Stock may be listed or in the relevant market from which the Closing Prices were obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. "Closing Price" of any share of Common Stock on any day shall mean the last reported sale price regular way on such day or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way of such common stock, in each case on the NYSE Composite Tape or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any NYSE member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation for that purpose or, if not so available in such manner, as otherwise determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which securities are traded on the national securities exchange or quotation system used to determine the Closing Price. (b) Issuance of Options or Convertible Securities, Etc. For purposes of Section 6(a), in case at any time the Corporation shall in any manner grant, issue or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any (i) warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of (such warrants, rights or options hereinafter being referred to as "Options"), any shares of the Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being hereinafter referred to as "Convertible Securities"), or (ii) any Convertible Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the Net Aggregate Consideration Per Share to be received by the Corporation for the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof or the exchange or conversion thereof shall be less than the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting, issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon (x) the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such options or (y) the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued, as of the date of granting, issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities, for such Net Aggregate Consideration Per Share. No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of shares of the Common Stock upon (A) the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options (or upon the actual issuance of any shares of the Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities) or (B) conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities if an adjustment shall have been made upon the issuance of any such Options or Convertible Securities. (c) Net Aggregate Consideration Per Share. For purposes of Section 6(b), the "Net Aggregate Consideration Per Share" with respect to any Options or Convertible Securities shall mean the amount which is equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the (Page 120 of 133) issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon exercise (plus, in the case of Options to subscribe for or acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange thereof) or upon the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities divided by the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock that would be issuable upon (i) the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options or (ii) conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (d) Consideration for Stock. In cases where any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Corporation for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor, net of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In cases where any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, net of deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (e) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 5(b), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 5(b) or (d), or the rate at which such Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Price in effect for the Convertible Preferred Stock at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder is thereby reduced; and on the expiration of any such Option or the termination of any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. (f) Record Date. In case the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed (but only to the extent that one of the preceding events actually occurs) to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. (g) Certain Issuances of Stock Excepted. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in the case of (i) the conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, (ii) the issuance of shares of the Common Stock in connection with the Automatic Conversion Event, (iii) the (Page 121 of 133) issuance to employees of the Manager of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the Corporation's compensatory stock option plans approved by the Board of Directors at a price not less than 95% of Current Market Price, or the issuance of shares of the Common Stock upon the exercise of any of such options or (iv) issuances pursuant to the Corporation's Dividend Reinvest and Stock Purchase Plan. (h) Calculation of Adjustments to Conversion Price. The calculation by the Board of Directors of the Corporation of any adjustment to the Conversion Price, made in good faith and in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, shall be final and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation. (i) Extraordinary Common Stock Events. In the event that the Corporation shall (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock or Convertible Securities as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding shares of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, and in each such event, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of each such event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. 7. Other Adjustments. (a) In the event the Corporation shall make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of the Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of the Common Stock or in assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions), then and in each such event, adequate provision shall be made so that holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of the Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, an amount per share of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to (i) the aggregate amount of capital stock, securities or other assets, as the case may be, that would have been received per share of the Common Stock by holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock had their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into shares of the Common Stock on the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation for determining stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of the Common Stock into which each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock could have been converted on such record date. No adjustments or provision for adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price as a result of any of the events described in this Section 7(a). (b) If the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise, then, and in each such event, adequate provisions shall be made such that the holder of each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of the Common Stock into which such share of the Convertible Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or other change. No adjustments or provision for adjustments shall be made with respect to the Conversion Price as a result of any of the events described in this Section 7(b). (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(c), if, at any time or from time to time, the Corporation shall be a party to a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another (Page 122 of 133) Person, a share exchange involving the Corporation or shall sell, lease, exchange or transfer all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation to any other Person, then, as a condition to the consummation of such transaction, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, upon conversion of the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, (i) the number of shares of capital stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation, resulting from such merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale, lease, exchange or transfer, that would have been received per share of Common Stock by holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock had their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of the Common Stock into which each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. No adjustments or provision for adjustments shall be made with respect to the Conversion Price as a result of any of the events described in this Section 7(c). 8. Reports of Adjustments.

(b) Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 business days prior to the date specified for redemption in such notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of record of the Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they shall appear on the books of the Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom the Corporation has failed to give notice or except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the redemption price, (iii) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and (iv) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date. Subject to Section 4(b), upon the mailing of any such notice of redemption, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem at the time of redemption specified thereon all shares called for redemption. (c) If notice has been mailed in accordance with Section 14(b) above and provided that the Corporation pays, or sets aside for payment, the applicable redemption price, on or before the redemption date specified in such notice, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease. Upon surrender, in accordance with said notice, of the certificates for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if (Page 124 of 133) the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price. 15. Optional Redemption by the Holders. (a) On the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date and at any time thereafter, each holder shall have the right to cause the Corporation to redeem all of its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, at a redemption price per share payable in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. To effect such redemption, a redeeming holder shall notify the Corporation in writing of its election to exercise its redemption right; provided, that a redeeming holder may only send a redeeming notice on the date which is five months prior to the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date or at any time thereafter. Upon receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and shall set the applicable redemption date, which redemption date shall be no later than five months following the Corporation's receipt of such notice. If notice has been mailed and provided that the Corporation pays, or sets aside for payment, the applicable redemption price, on or before the redemption date as set by the Corporation, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease. Upon surrender, in accordance with said notice, of the certificates for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price. Holders electing to have their shares redeemed pursuant to this Section 15(a) will be required to surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the date of such redemption. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder will have the right to require that the Corporation purchase for cash all or a portion of such holder's Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to the Liquidation Preference, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. As soon as practicable following the earlier of the date the Corporation obtains actual knowledge that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur (subject to the Corporation's duties to maintain the confidentiality of a prospective Change of Control), the Corporation must send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock with all relevant information concerning such Change of Control, which notice shall govern the terms of the purchase of such shares. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no later than the earlier of ten (10) business days from the date such notice is mailed or the date of the consummation of a prospective Change of Control, other than as may be required by law. Such notice shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of record of the Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they shall appear on the books of the Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for repurchase of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom the Corporation has failed to give notice or except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. Each holder who wishes to exercise its right of redemption pursuant to this Section 15(b) shall notify the Corporation in writing of its exercise to later than ten (10) business days after receipt of notice from the Corporation. Holders electing to have shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to this Section 15(b) will be required to surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation at the address specified in the Corporation's notice prior to the close of business on the purchase date. The Corporation will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under (Page 125 of 133) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 15(b), the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 15(b) by virtue thereof. Any notice by holders of Convertible Preferred Stock electing redemption pursuant to this Section 15(b) can be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control. (c) If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 15(a), 15(b) or 18(c) are insufficient to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to redemption, the Corporation shall redeem only such number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock as may be allowed out of funds legally available for redemption of such shares. In such event, the Corporation shall select the shares for redemption on a pro rata basis for each holder based on its percentage of Convertible Preferred Stock held. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Convertible Preferred Stock, such funds will be used at the earliest permissible time, to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are then legally available. 16. Rank. The shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank prior to all shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, unless such other class or series by its terms ranks senior to the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, with respect to voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, whether upon liquidation or otherwise. 17.

Such member shall become a member of the Corporation's Board of Directors and shall (subject to the provisions of this Section 17) be subject to the same provisions of the Corporation's Bylaws as other members of such class. (b) If the Corporation shall fail, (i) within 60 days after any Dividend Payment Date set forth in Section 3 hereof, to pay in full two consecutive dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) to redeem shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the redeeming holder's election pursuant to Sections 15 or 18 hereof, then the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, at any special meeting called by the holders of record of at least 10% of the Convertible Preferred Stock or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting undertaken by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock until (i) all such distributions have been declared and paid or set aside for payment or (ii) all shares to be redeemed have been redeemed in full. The term of office of all directors so elected will terminate with the termination of such voting rights, which will be such time as (i) all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in cash or (ii) all shares to be redeemed have been redeemed in full. (c) Any director elected by the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be removed at any time with or without cause by and only by the vote or written consent of the holders of a (Page 126 of 133) majority of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, at any special meeting called by the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting undertaken by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and any vacancy occurring by reason of such removal or by reason of death, resignation or inability to serve of any director so elected, shall be filled by and only by a vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, at any special meeting called by the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting undertaken by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Covenants. (a) The Corporation may not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, (i) issue any class or series of equity security ranking senior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends or as to payments on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, (ii) enter into any agreement that would restrict the Corporation's ability to perform its obligations under Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (iii) amend its charter or Bylaws in any manner which would materially impair or reduce the rights of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) make any single investment or series of related investments in an amount exceeding $50 million in market value (other than investments in investment grade assets), (v) acquire or merge with or into or consolidate with another entity, the value of whose common stock equity and equity of securities convertible into common stock equity at a price lower than the market price of the common stock equity on the date of such merger or consolidation is greater than $50 million, (vi) enter into any transaction in excess of $5 million with an Affiliate of the Corporation, except for any payments made pursuant to the Management Agreement between the Corporation and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. in effect on December 2, 1999, (vii) make investments which are not consistent with the Corporation's stated objective of investing in a diversified portfolio of multifamily, commercial and residential mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and other real estate-related assets in U.S. and non-U.S. markets, (viii) amend, repeal or change, directly or indirectly, any of the provisions of these Articles Supplementary, including the authorization, creation or issuance of additional or new classes or series of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, (ix) amend Article II, Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 of the Articles, (x) increase the number of members of the Corporation's Board of Directors except in connection with an acquisition of a business, a Change of Control or an investment by a third party (that is not an affiliate of the Corporation or the Manager) in the Corporation pursuant to which such third party is granted the right to elect members to the Board of Directors, or (xi) pay any dividends in the course of any fiscal year which, in the aggregate, exceed the greater of either the Corporation's tax basis income or GAAP income for such year (except to the extent necessary to preserve the Corporation's election to be subject to tax as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856-860 of the Code (as hereinafter defined).

If the Corporation fails to remedy such breach during the 150 days following the receipt of the Notice of Breach, the Corporation shall redeem the electing holders' shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at the Premium Redemption Price not later than the 150th day following the Corporation's receipt of the Notice of Breach. Upon receipt of the Notice of Breach, the Corporation shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Convertible Preferred Stock. If notice has been mailed and provided that the Corporation pays, or sets aside for payment, the applicable redemption price, on or before the redemption date as set by the Corporation, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease.

(Page 128 of 133) (b) The Offer Notice shall contain a written offer (the "Offer") to sell the Offered Shares to the Corporation stating the price (the "Offer Price") and the other material terms upon which the Selling Holder desires to sell the Offered Shares. The Corporation may accept the Offer by giving written notice thereof to the Selling Holder within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Acceptance"). The Corporation and the Selling Holder must then close on such transaction within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the Acceptance, time being of the essence. (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, if the Offer contained in the Offer Notice is not accepted in its entirety by the Corporation in accordance with this Section, the Selling Holder may sell the Offered Shares to any other Person (a "Third Party") without further restriction; provided, that (i) such sale occurs within six months from the earlier of the affirmative rejection of the Offer Notice by the Corporation and the expiration of the 25-day period in which the Corporation may accept the Offer Notice, (ii) the purchase price to be paid by such Third Party shall be an amount equal to or greater than 92.5% of the Offer Price payable by such Third Party in cash and (iii) the non-price related terms shall be substantially similar to the Offer.

Each Holder electing to purchase Offered New Securities must give written notice of its election to the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period. (c) Each Holder shall have the right to purchase that number of the Offered New Securities as shall be equal to the number of the Offered New Securities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Holder plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Securities then held by such Holder and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below). The amount of such Offered New Securities that each Holder is entitled to purchase under this Section 20 shall be referred to as its "Proportionate Share."

If for any reason the Offered New Securities are not issued within such period and at such price and on such terms, the right to issue in accordance with the Notice of Proposed Issuance shall expire and the provisions of this Section 20 shall continue to be applicable to the Offered New Securities. 21.
