The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership, Constructive Ownership and Transfer. Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock and/or Limited Voting Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Limited Voting Stock of the Corporation, other than an Excepted Holder; (ii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, other than an Excepted Holder; (iii) no Excepted Holder may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of the Excepted Holder Common Stock Limit or Preferred Stock in excess of the Excepted Holder Preferred Stock Limit; (iv) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; (v) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or indirectly, including by application of Section 318 of the Code) an interest in a Tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation (either directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships or limited liability companies) from such Tenant for the taxable year of the Corporation during which such determination is being made would reasonably be expected to equal or exceed the lesser of (a) one percent (1%) of the Corporation’s gross income (as determined for purposes of Section 856(c) of the Code), or (b) an amount that would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code; and (vi) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons (as determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code). Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns, Transfers or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations set forth must immediately notify the Corporation. If certain of the restrictions on transfer or ownership above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trustee of a Charitable Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may take other actions, including redeeming Capital Stock upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or Non-Transferring Event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. A Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in violation of the ownership limitations described above shall have no claim, cause of action, or any recourse whatsoever against a transferor of such shares.

All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation’s Charter, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office.
