This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement include and incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

THE COMPANY

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) in the business of acquiring, developing, redeveloping, owning, leasing and managing shopping centers. Our executive offices are located at 3300 Enterprise Parkway, Beachwood, Ohio 44122, and our telephone number is (216) 755-5500.

RECENT EVENTS

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company sold one shopping center asset aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet of Company-Owned GLA for a sales price of approximately $1.7 million, resulting in a net loss of approximately $0.1 million (the “Property Sale”). In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the loss on sale and operations of this shopping center were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, filed on May 12, 2008, and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because the Property Sale was not considered a fundamental change or material to any of the periods presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed on February 29, 2008, and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, the Company has not restated the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, but rather will restate the information as required by SFAS No. 144 in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, unless required at an earlier date.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The common shares offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus. See “Selling Shareholders.” All net proceeds from the sale of the common shares will go to the selling shareholders. We will not receive any part of the proceeds from such sale of shares.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

General

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 300,000,000 common shares, $0.10 par value per share. As of June 30, 2008, we had 120,266,413 common shares outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2008, we have reserved 6,081,254 common shares for issuance under our equity-based award plans and 31,666 common shares for issuance upon the exercise of options granted to our directors. Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DDR.” National City Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, is the transfer agent and registrar of the common shares.

The following description of our common shares sets forth certain of their general terms and provisions. The following description of our common shares is in all respects subject to and qualified by reference to the applicable provisions of our articles of incorporation and our code of regulations.

Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors, out of funds legally available therefore. Any payment and declaration of dividends by the Company on our common shares and purchases thereof will be subject to certain restrictions if we fail to pay dividends on any outstanding preferred shares. If we are liquidated, dissolved or involved in any winding-up, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive ratably any assets remaining after we have fully paid all of our liabilities, including the preferential amounts we owe with respect to any preferred shares. Holders of our common shares possess ordinary voting rights, with each share entitling the holder to one vote. Holders of our common shares have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Holders of our common shares do not have preemptive rights, which means that they have no right to acquire any additional common shares that we may subsequently issue.

All of our common shares currently outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable.

Restrictions on Ownership

In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals during the last half of a taxable year. Individual is defined in the Code to include certain entities. In addition, our capital stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Additionally, certain other requirements must be satisfied.

To assure that five or fewer individuals do not own more than 50% in value of our outstanding common shares, our articles of incorporation provide that, subject to certain exceptions, no holder may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 5% (the “ownership limit”) of our outstanding common shares. Shareholders whose ownership exceeded the ownership limit immediately after the initial public offering, or IPO, may continue to own common shares in excess of the ownership limit and may acquire additional shares through the share option plan, the equity-based award plans, any dividend reinvestment plan adopted by the Company or from other existing shareholders who exceed the ownership limit, but may not acquire additional shares from those sources if the result would be that the five largest beneficial owners of common shares hold more than 49.6% of our outstanding common shares. In addition, because rent from a related party tenant (any tenant 10% of which is owned, directly or constructively, by a REIT, including an owner of 10% or more of a REIT) is not qualifying rent for purposes of the gross income tests under the Code, our articles of incorporation provide that no individual or entity may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code (which differ from the attribution provisions applied to the ownership limit), in excess of 9.8% of our outstanding common shares. Our board of directors may waive the ownership limit and the related party limit if an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is provided to the board of directors to the effect that that ownership will not then or in the future jeopardize our status as a REIT. As a condition of any waiver, our board of directors will require appropriate representations and undertakings from the applicant with respect to preserving our REIT status.

The preceding restrictions on transferability and ownership of common shares may not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. The ownership limit and the related party limit will not be automatically removed even if the REIT provisions of the Code are changed to no longer contain any ownership concentration limitation or if the ownership concentration limitation is increased. In addition to preserving our status as a REIT, the effects of the ownership limit and the related party limit are to prevent any person or small group of persons from acquiring unilateral control of us. Any change in the ownership limit requires an amendment to the articles of incorporation, even if our board of directors determines that maintenance of REIT status is no longer in our best interests. Amendments to the articles of incorporation require the affirmative vote of holders owning a majority of our outstanding common shares. If it is determined that an amendment would materially and adversely affect the holders of any class of preferred shares, that amendment also would require the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the affected class of preferred shares.

If common shares in excess of the ownership limit or the related party limit, or common shares which would cause the REIT to be beneficially or constructively owned by less than 100 persons or would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, are issued or transferred to any person, the issuance or transfer will be null and void to the intended transferee. The intended transferee will not acquire rights to the shares. Common shares transferred or proposed to be transferred in excess of the ownership limit or the related party limit or which would otherwise jeopardize our REIT status (“excess shares”) will be subject to repurchase by us. The purchase price of any excess shares will be equal to the lesser of (i) the price in the proposed transaction and (ii) the fair market value of the shares reflected in the last reported sale price for the common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we or our designee determine to exercise our repurchase right, if the shares are then listed on a national securities exchange, or such price for the shares on the principal exchange, if they are then listed on more than one national securities exchange, or, if the common shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange, the latest bid quotation for the common shares if they are then traded over-the-counter, or, if such quotation is not available, the fair market value as determined by our board of directors in good faith, on the last trading day immediately preceding the day on which notice of the proposed purchase is sent by us. From and after the date fixed for purchase of excess shares by us, the holder of the excess shares will cease to be entitled to distribution, voting rights and other benefits with respect to the excess shares except the right to payment of the

5

purchase price for the excess shares. Any dividend or distribution paid to a proposed transferee on excess shares will be repaid to us upon demand. If the foregoing transfer restrictions are determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the intended transferee of any excess shares may be deemed, at our option, to have acted as an agent on our behalf in acquiring the excess shares and to hold the excess shares on our behalf.

All certificates representing our common shares bear a legend referring to the preceding restrictions.

Our articles of incorporation provide that all persons who own, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 5% of our outstanding common shares must file an affidavit with us containing information specified in our articles of incorporation each year by January 31. In addition, each of those shareholders will upon demand be required to disclose to us in writing such information with respect to the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of shares as our board of directors deems necessary for us to comply with the provisions of the Code as applicable to a REIT or to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency.

CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF OHIO LAW

Certain provisions of Ohio law may have the effect of discouraging or rendering more difficult an unsolicited acquisition of a corporation or its capital stock to the extent the corporation is subject to those provisions. We have opted out of one such provision. We remain subject to the provisions described below.

Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code prohibits certain transactions, including mergers, sales of assets, issuances or purchases of securities, liquidation or dissolution, or reclassifications of the then-outstanding shares of an Ohio corporation with 50 or more shareholders involving, or for the benefit of, certain holders of shares representing 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation (any such shareholder, a “10% Shareholder”), unless:

(i) the transaction is approved by the directors before the 10% Shareholder becomes a 10% Shareholder;

(ii) the acquisition of 10% of the voting power is approved by the directors before the 10% Shareholder becomes a 10% Shareholder; or

(iii) the transaction involves a 10% Shareholder who has been a 10% Shareholder for at least three years and is approved by the directors before the 10% Shareholder becomes a 10% Shareholder, is approved by holders of two-thirds of our voting power and the holders of a majority of the voting power not owned by the 10% Shareholder, or certain price and form of consideration requirements are met.

Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code may have the effect of deterring certain potential acquisitions of us which might be beneficial to shareholders.

Section 1707.041 of the Ohio Revised Code regulates certain “control bids” for corporations in Ohio with fifty or more shareholders that have significant Ohio contacts and permits the Ohio Division of Securities to suspend a control bid if certain information is not provided to offerees.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of material federal income tax considerations regarding the Company and the securities we are registering. This summary is based on current law, is for general information only and is not tax advice. The tax treatment to holders of our securities will vary depending on a holder’s particular situation, and this discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to a holder of securities in light of his or her personal investments or tax circumstances, or to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws except to the extent discussed under the subheadings “— Taxation of Tax-Exempt Shareholders” and “— Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders.” In addition, the summary below does not consider the effect of any foreign, state, local or other tax laws that may be applicable to holders of our securities.

6

The information in this section is based on the Code, current, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, the legislative history of the Code, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) (including its practices and policies as expressed in certain private letter rulings which are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received such rulings), and court decisions, all as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Future legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations and practices and court decisions may adversely affect, perhaps retroactively, the tax considerations described herein. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, any rulings from the IRS concerning our tax treatment and the statements in this prospectus supplement are not binding on the IRS or any court. Thus, we can provide no assurance that these statements will not be challenged by the IRS or sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS.

You are advised to consult your tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to you of the acquisition, ownership and sale of our securities, including the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of such acquisition, ownership and sale and of potential changes in applicable tax laws.

Taxation of the Company

General.  We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. We believe we have been organized and have operated in a manner which allows us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. We intend to continue to operate in this manner.

The law firm of Baker & Hostetler LLP has acted as our tax counsel in connection with our election to be taxed as a REIT. It is the opinion of Baker & Hostetler LLP that we have qualified as a REIT under the Code for our taxable years ended December 31, 1993 through December 31, 2007, we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT, and our current and proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for our taxable year ended December 31, 2008 and for future taxable years. It must be emphasized that the opinion of Baker & Hostetler LLP is based upon certain assumptions and representations as to factual matters made by us, including representations made by us in a representation letter and certificate provided by one of our officers and our factual representations set forth herein and in registration statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any variation from the factual statements set forth herein, in registration statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in the representation letter and certificate we have provided to Baker & Hostetler LLP may affect the conclusions upon which its opinion is based.

The opinions of Baker & Hostetler LLP are based on existing law as contained in the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect on the date hereof, and the interpretations of such provisions and Treasury Regulations by the IRS and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively, and to possibly different interpretations. Baker & Hostetler LLP will have no obligation to advise the Company or the holders of our securities of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. You should be aware that the opinion represents Baker & Hostetler LLP’s best judgment of how a court would decide if presented with the issues addressed therein but, because opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or any court, there can be no assurance that contrary positions may not successfully be asserted by the IRS. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability, through actual annual operating results and methods of operation, to satisfy various qualification tests imposed under the Code, such as distributions to shareholders, asset composition levels, and diversity of stock ownership, the actual results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Baker & Hostetler LLP. In addition, our ability to qualify as a REIT also depends in part upon the operating results, organizational structure and entity classification for federal income tax purposes of certain affiliated entities, including affiliates that have made elections to be taxed as REITs, the status of which may not have been reviewed by Baker & Hostetler LLP. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.

7

Similarly, we have significant subsidiaries that have elected to be taxed as REITs and are therefore subject to the same qualification tests.

If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our taxable income that is distributed currently to our shareholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (once at the corporate level when earned and once again at the shareholder level when distributed) that generally results from investment in a C corporation. However, we will be subject to federal income tax as follows:

First, we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains.

Second, we may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference under certain circumstances.

Third, if we have (a) net income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property” (defined generally as property we acquired through foreclosure or after a default on a loan secured by the property or a lease of the property) which is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or (b) other nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the highest U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on this income.

Fourth, we will be subject to a 100% tax on any net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property (other than foreclosure property) held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.

Fifth, if we fail to satisfy the 75% or 95% gross income tests (as described below) due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, but have maintained our qualification as a REIT because we satisfied certain other requirements, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to (a) the gross income attributable to the greater of the amounts by which we fail the 75% or 95% gross income tests multiplied by (b) a fraction intended to reflect our profitability.

Sixth, if we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (a) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year, (b) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for the year (other than certain long-term capital gains for which we make a Capital Gains Designation (defined below) and on which we pay the tax), and (c) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the amounts actually distributed.

Seventh, if we acquire any asset from a corporation which is or has been a C corporation in a transaction in which the basis of the asset in our hands is determined by reference to the basis of the asset in the hands of the C corporation, and we subsequently recognize gain on the disposition of the asset during the ten-year period beginning on the date on which we acquired the asset, then we will be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate tax rate on the excess of (a) the fair market value of the asset over (b) our adjusted basis in the asset, in each case determined as of the date we acquired the asset. The results described in this paragraph with respect to the recognition of gain assume that we will not make an election pursuant to existing Treasury Regulations to recognize such gain at the time we acquire the asset.

Eighth, we will be required to pay a 100% tax on any “redetermined rents,” “redetermined deductions” or “excess interest.” In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of services furnished to any of our tenants by a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of ours. Redetermined deductions and excess interest generally represent amounts that are deducted by a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm’s length negotiations.

Ninth, if we fail to satisfy any of the REIT asset tests, as described below, by more than a de minimis amount, due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and we nonetheless maintain our REIT qualification because of specified cure provisions, we will be required to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the nonqualifying assets that caused us to fail such test.

8

Tenth, if we fail to satisfy any provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT (other than a violation of the REIT gross income tests or certain violations of the asset tests described below) and the violation is due to reasonable cause, we may retain our REIT qualification but we will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure.

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT.  The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:

(1) that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

(2) that issues transferable shares or transferable certificates to evidence its beneficial ownership;

(3) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation, but for Sections 856 through 860 of the Code;

(4) that is not a financial institution or an insurance company within the meaning of certain provisions of the Code;

(5) that is beneficially owned by 100 or more persons;

(6) not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock of which is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year;

(7) that meets certain other tests, described below, regarding the nature of its income and assets and the amount of its distributions;

(8) that elects to be a REIT, or has made such election for a previous year, and satisfies the applicable filing and administrative requirements to maintain qualification as a REIT; and

(9) that adopts a calendar year accounting period.

The Code provides that conditions (1) to (4), inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year and that condition (5) must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months. Conditions (5) and (6) do not apply until after the first taxable year for which an election is made to be taxed as a REIT. For purposes of condition (6), pension funds and certain other tax-exempt entities are treated as individuals, subject to a “look-through” exception with respect to pension funds.

We believe that we have satisfied each of the above conditions. In addition, our articles of incorporation and code of regulations provide for restrictions regarding ownership and transfer of shares. These restrictions are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in (5) and (6) above. These restrictions, however, may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in (5) and (6) above. In general, if we fail to satisfy these share ownership requirements, our status as a REIT will terminate. However, if we comply with the rules in applicable Treasury Regulations that require us to ascertain the actual ownership of our shares, and we do not know, or would not have known through the exercise of reasonable diligence, that we failed to meet the requirement described in condition (6) above, we will be treated as having met this requirement.

Ownership of Interests in Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries and Taxable REIT Subsidiaries.  In the case of a REIT which is a partner in a partnership, or a member in a limited liability company treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership or limited liability company, based on its interest in partnership capital, subject to special rules relating to the 10% REIT asset test described below. Also, the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to its proportionate share of the income of that entity. The assets and items of gross income of the partnership or limited liability company retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of Section 856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the asset tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of income of partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships, in which we are, directly or indirectly through other partnerships or limited liability companies taxed as partnerships, a partner or member, are treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT qualification requirements described in this prospectus supplement (including the income and asset tests described below).

9

We own 100% of the stock of a number of corporate subsidiaries that are qualified REIT subsidiaries (each, a “QRS”) and may acquire stock of one or more new subsidiaries. A corporation qualifies as a QRS if 100% of its outstanding stock is held by the Company, and we do not elect to treat the corporation as a taxable REIT subsidiary, as described below. A QRS is not treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of a QRS are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit for all purposes of the Code, including the REIT qualification tests. For this reason, references to our income and assets include the income and assets of any QRS. A QRS is not subject to federal income tax, and our ownership of the voting stock of a QRS is ignored for purposes of determining our compliance with the ownership limits described below under “— Asset Tests.”

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, REITs may own more than 10% of the voting power and value of securities in a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). A TRS is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with the REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS also includes any corporation other than a REIT with respect to which a TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A TRS is subject to income tax as a regular C corporation. In addition, a TRS may be prevented from deducting interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by its parent REIT if certain tests regarding the taxable REIT subsidiary’s debt to equity ratio and interest expense are not satisfied. A REIT’s ownership of securities of a TRS will not be subject to the 10% or 5% asset tests described below, and its operations will be subject to the provisions described above.

Income Tests.  We must satisfy two gross income requirements annually to maintain our qualification as a REIT. First, in each taxable year at least 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages secured by real property, including “rents from real property” and, in certain circumstances, interest, or certain types of temporary investment income. Second, in each taxable year at least 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions and certain real estate liability hedges) must be derived directly or indirectly from income from the real property investments described above or dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities (or from any combination of the foregoing).

Rents we receive will qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of satisfying the gross income tests for a REIT described above only if all of the following conditions are met:

•  The amount of rent must not be based in any way on the income or profits of any person, although rents generally will not be excluded solely because they are based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales.

•  We, or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of our capital stock, must not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the interests in the tenant, or, if the tenant is a corporation, 10% or more of the voting power or value of all classes of stock of the tenant. Rents received from such tenant that is our TRS, however, will not be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” as a result of this condition if either at least 90% of the space at the property to which the rents relate is leased to third parties, and the rents paid by the TRS are comparable to rents paid by our other tenants for comparable space. Whether rents paid by a TRS are substantially comparable to rents paid by other tenants is determined at the time the lease with the TRS is entered into, extended, and modified, if such modification increases the rents due under such lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if a lease with a “controlled taxable REIT subsidiary” is modified and such modification results in an increase in the rents payable by such TRS, any such increase will not qualify as “rents from real property.” For purposes of this rule, a “controlled taxable REIT subsidiary” is a TRS in which we own stock possessing more than 50% of the voting power or more than 50% of the total value of outstanding stock of such TRS.

•  Rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a lease of real property, is not greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease. If this condition is not met, then the portion of the rent attributable to personal property will not qualify as “rents from real property”.

10

•  For rents received to qualify as “rents from real property,” the REIT generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to the tenants of the property (subject to a 1% de minimis exception), other than through an independent contractor from whom the REIT derives no revenue or through a TRS. The REIT may, however, directly perform certain services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant” of the property. Any amounts we receive from a TRS with respect to the TRS’s provision of non-customary services will, however, be nonqualifying income under the 75% gross income test and, except to the extent received through the payment of dividends, the 95% gross income test.

We do not intend to charge rent for any property that is based in whole or in part on the net income or profits of any person (except by reason of being based on a percentage of gross receipts or sales, as heretofore described), and we do not intend to rent any personal property (other than in connection with a lease of real property where less than 15% of the total rent is attributable to personal property). We directly perform services under certain of our leases, but such services are not rendered to the occupant of the property. Furthermore, these services are usual and customary management services provided by landlords renting space for occupancy in the geographic areas in which we own property. To the extent that the performance of any services provided by us would cause amounts received from our tenants to be excluded from rents from real property, we intend to hire a TRS, or an independent contractor from whom we derive no revenue, to perform such services.

The term “interest” generally does not include any amount received or accrued (directly or indirectly) if the determination of some or all of the amount depends in any way on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term “interest” solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales.

If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for the year if we are entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. We generally may make use of the relief provisions if:

(i) following our identification of the failure to meet the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we file a schedule with the IRS setting forth each item of our gross income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for such taxable year in accordance with Treasury Regulations to be issued; and

(ii) our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.

It is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. For example, if we fail to satisfy the gross income tests because nonqualifying income that we intentionally accrue or receive exceeds the limits on nonqualifying income, the IRS could conclude that our failure to satisfy the tests was not due to reasonable cause. If these relief provisions do not apply to a particular set of circumstances, we will not qualify as a REIT. As discussed above, even if these relief provisions apply, and we retain our status as a REIT, a tax would be imposed with respect to our nonqualifying income. We may not always be able to comply with the gross income tests for REIT qualification despite periodic monitoring of our income.

Hedging Transactions.  Except to the extent provided by Treasury regulations, any income we derive from a hedging transaction (which may include entering into interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, options to purchase these items, and futures and forward contracts) which is clearly identified as such as specified in the Code, including gain from the sale or disposition of such a transaction, will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, and therefore will be exempt from this test, but only to the extent that the transaction hedges indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by us to acquire or carry real estate assets. Income from any hedging transaction will, however, be nonqualifying for purposes of the 75% gross income test.

Prohibited Transaction Income.  Any gain we realize on the sale of any property, other than foreclosure property, held as inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions.

11

Penalty Tax.  Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions or excess interest we generate will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our tenants by one of our TRSs, and redetermined deductions and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a TRS for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm’s-length negotiations. Rents we receive will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions contained in the Code. These determinations are inherently factual, and the IRS has broad discretion to assert that amounts paid between related parties should be reallocated to clearly reflect their respective incomes. If the IRS successfully made such an assertion, we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on the excess of an arm’s-length fee for tenant services over the amount actually paid.

Asset Tests.  At the close of each quarter of our taxable year, we also must satisfy four tests relating to the nature and composition of our assets. First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities. For purposes of this test, real estate assets include real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property) and shares (or transferable certificates of beneficial interest) in other REITs, as well as any stock or debt instruments that are purchased with the proceeds of a stock offering or public offering of debt at least five years, but only for the one-year period beginning on the date we receive such proceeds. Second, not more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities, other than those securities includable in the 75% asset test. Third, of the investments included in the 25% asset class, and except for investments in another REIT, a QRS or a TRS, the value of any one issuer’s securities may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets, and we may not own more than 10% of the total vote or value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer except, in the case of the 10% value test, securities satisfying the “straight debt” safe-harbor. Certain types of securities we may own are disregarded as securities solely for purposes of the 10% value test, including, but not limited to, any loan to an individual or an estate, any obligation to pay rents from real property and any security issued by a REIT. In addition, commencing with out taxable year beginning January 1, 2005, solely for purposes of the 10% value test, the determination of our interest in the assets of a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest will be based on our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership or limited liability company, excluding for this purpose certain securities described in the Code. Fourth, no more than 20% of the value of our assets may be comprised of securities of one or more TRSs.

After initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to satisfy an asset test because we acquire securities or other property during a quarter, we can cure this failure by disposing of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We believe we have maintained and intend to continue to maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests. If we failed to cure any noncompliance with the asset tests within the 30 day cure period, we would cease to qualify as a REIT unless we are eligible for certain relief provisions discussed below.

Certain relief provisions may be available to us if we fail to satisfy the asset tests described above after the 30 day cure period. Under these provisions, we will be deemed to have met the 5% and 10% REIT asset tests if the value of our nonqualifying assets (i) does not exceed the lesser of (a) 1% of the total value of our assets at the end of the applicable quarter or (b) $10,000,000, and (ii) we dispose of the nonqualifying assets or otherwise satisfy such tests within six months after the last day of the quarter in which the failure to satisfy the asset tests is discovered or the period of time prescribed by Treasury Regulations to be issued. For violations due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect that are in excess of the de minimis exception described above, we may avoid disqualification as a REIT under any of the asset tests, after the 30 day cure period, by taking steps including (i) the disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets, or the taking of other actions, which allow us to meet the asset test within six months after the last day of the quarter in which the failure to satisfy the asset tests is discovered or the period of time prescribed by Treasury Regulations to be issued, (ii) paying a tax equal to the greater of (a) $50,000 or (b) the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the nonqualifying assets and (iii) disclosing certain information to the IRS.

Although we expect to satisfy the asset tests described above and plan to take steps to ensure that we satisfy such tests for any quarter with respect to which retesting is to occur, there can be no assurance we will always be

12

successful. If we fail to cure any noncompliance with the asset tests in a timely manner, and the relief provisions described above are not available, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.

Annual Distribution Requirements.  To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to the sum of 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain) and 90% of our net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property; minus the excess of the sum of certain items of noncash income (i.e., income attributable to leveled stepped rents, original issue discount on purchase money debt, or a like-kind exchange that is later determined to be taxable) over 5% of “REIT taxable income” as described above.

In addition, if we dispose of any asset we acquired from a corporation which is or has been a C corporation in a transaction in which our basis in the asset is determined by reference to the basis of the asset in the hands of that C corporation, within the ten-year period following our acquisition of such asset, we would be required to distribute at least 90% of the after-tax gain, if any, we recognized on the disposition of the asset, to the extent that gain does not exceed the excess of (a) the fair market value of the asset on the date we acquired the asset over (b) our adjusted basis in the asset on the date we acquired the asset.

We must pay the distributions described above in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if they are declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration or are paid during January to shareholders of record in October, November or December of the prior year. These distributions are taxable to our shareholders (other than tax-exempt entities) in the year in which they are paid, even though the distributions relate to the prior year for purposes of our 90% distribution requirement. The amount distributed must not be preferential — i.e., every shareholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other shareholder of that class, and no class of stock may be treated otherwise than in accordance with its dividend rights as a class. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates. We believe we have made and intend to continue to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these annual distribution requirements.

We generally expect that our REIT taxable income will be less than our cash flow because of the allowance of depreciation and other non-cash charges in computing REIT taxable income. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will generally have sufficient cash or liquid assets to enable us to satisfy the distribution requirements described above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements because of timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in arriving at our taxable income. If these timing differences occur, in order to meet the distribution requirements, we may need to arrange for short-term, or possibly long-term, borrowings or need to pay dividends in the form of taxable share dividends.

Under certain circumstances, we may be able to rectify a failure to meet the 90% distribution requirement for a year by paying “deficiency dividends” to shareholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. Thus, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based on the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

In addition, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent we fail to distribute during each calendar year (or in the case of distributions with declaration and record dates falling in the last three months of the calendar year, by the end of January immediately following such year) at least the sum of 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, 95% of our REIT capital gain income for the year (other than certain long-term capital gains for which we make a Capital Gains Designation and on which we pay the tax), and any undistributed taxable income from prior periods. Any REIT taxable income and net capital gain on which this excise tax is imposed for any year is treated as an amount distributed during that year for purposes of calculating such tax.

13

Earnings and Profits Distribution Requirement.  In order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot have at the end of any taxable year any undistributed “earnings and profits” that are attributable to a “C corporation” taxable year (i.e., a year in which a corporation is neither a REIT nor an S corporation).

We intend to make timely distributions to satisfy the annual distribution requirements.

Failure to Qualify

Specified cure provisions will be available to us in the event that we violate a provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT. These cure provisions would reduce the instances that could lead to our disqualification as a REIT for violations due to reasonable cause and would instead generally require the payment of a monetary penalty. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders in any year in which we fail to qualify will not be deductible by us, and we will not be required to distribute any amounts to our shareholders. As a result, our failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce the cash available for distribution by us to our shareholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, all distributions to shareholders will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, and, subject to certain limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we would also be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our qualification. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to this statutory relief.

Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders

The following summary describes certain federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders with respect to an investment in our shares. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to persons who receive special treatment under the federal income tax law. Shareholders subject to special treatment include, without limitation, insurance companies, financial institutions or broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, shareholders holding securities as part of a conversion transaction, or a hedge or hedging transaction or as a position in a straddle for tax purposes, foreign corporations or partnerships and persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Shareholder” means a holder of shares who, for United States federal income tax purposes:

(i) is a citizen or resident of the United States;

(ii) is a corporation, partnership or other entity classified as a corporation or partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or in the District of Columbia, unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide otherwise;

(iii) is an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

(iv) is a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons prior to this date that elect to continue to be treated as United States persons, shall also be considered U.S. Shareholders.

Distributions Generally.  As long as we qualify as a REIT, distributions out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, other than capital gain dividends discussed below, generally will constitute dividends taxable to our taxable U.S. Shareholders as ordinary income. For purposes of determining whether distributions to holders of shares are out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, our earnings and profits will be allocated first to our outstanding preferred shares and then to our common shares. These distributions will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. Shareholders that are corporations.

14

Because we generally are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income distributed to our shareholders, our ordinary dividends generally are not eligible for the reduced 15% rate available to most non-corporate taxpayers through 2010, and will continue to be taxed at the higher tax rates applicable to ordinary income. However, the reduced 15% rate does apply to our distributions:

(i) designated as long-term capital gain dividends (except to the extent attributable to real estate depreciation, in which case such distributions continue to be subject to tax at a 25% rate);

(ii) to the extent attributable to dividends received by us from non-REIT corporations or other taxable REIT subsidiaries; and

(iii) to the extent attributable to income upon which we have paid corporate income tax (for example, if we distribute taxable income that we retained and paid tax on in the prior year).

To the extent that we make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, these distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to each U.S. Shareholder. This treatment will reduce the adjusted basis which each U.S. Shareholder has in his shares of stock for tax purposes by the amount of the distribution (but not below zero). Distributions in excess of a U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted basis in his shares will be taxable as capital gains (provided that the shares have been held as a capital asset) and will be taxable as long-term capital gain if the shares have been held for more than one year. Dividends we declare in October, November, or December of any year and payable to a shareholder of record on a specified date in any of these months shall be treated as both paid by us and received by the shareholder on December 31 of that year, provided we actually pay the dividend on or before January 31 of the following calendar year. Shareholders may not include in their own income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital losses.

Capital Gain Distributions.  Distributions that we properly designate as capital gain dividends (and undistributed amounts for which we properly make a capital gains designation) will be taxable to U.S. Shareholders as gains (to the extent that they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year) from the sale or disposition of a capital asset. Depending on the period of time we have held the assets which produced these gains, and on certain designations, if any, which we may make, these gains may be taxable to non-corporate U.S. Shareholders at either a 15% or a 25% rate, depending on the nature of the asset giving rise to the gain. Corporate U.S. Shareholders may, however, be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income.

Passive Activity Losses and Investment Interest Limitations.  Distributions we make and gain arising from the sale or exchange by a U.S. Shareholder of our shares will be treated as portfolio income. As a result, U.S. Shareholders generally will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against this income or gain. A U.S. shareholder may elect to treat capital gain dividends, capital gains from the disposition of stock and qualified dividend income as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation, but in such case, the shareholder will be taxed at ordinary income rates on such amount. Other distributions we make (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital) generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation. Gain arising from the sale or other disposition of our shares, however, will not be treated as investment income under certain circumstances.

Retention of Net Long-Term Capital Gains.  We may elect to retain, rather than distribute as a capital gain dividend, our net long-term capital gains. If we make this election (a “Capital Gains Designation”) we would pay tax on our retained net long-term capital gains. In addition, to the extent we make a Capital Gains Designation, a U.S. Shareholder generally would:

(i) include its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gains in computing its long-term capital gains in its return for its taxable year in which the last day of our taxable year falls (subject to certain limitations as to the amount that is includable);

(ii) be deemed to have paid the capital gains tax imposed on us on the designated amounts included in the U.S. Shareholder’s long-term capital gains;

(iii) receive a credit or refund for the amount of tax deemed paid by it;

15

(iv) increase the adjusted basis of its shares by the difference between the amount of includable gains and the tax deemed to have been paid by it; and

(v) in the case of a U.S. Shareholder that is a corporation, appropriately adjust its earnings and profits for the retained capital gains in accordance with Treasury Regulations to be promulgated.

Dispositions of Shares

Generally, if you are a U.S. Shareholder and you sell or dispose of your shares, you will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property you receive on the sale or other disposition and your adjusted basis in the shares for tax purposes. This gain or loss will be capital if you have held the shares as a capital asset and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the shares for more than one year. However, if you are a U.S. Shareholder and you recognize loss upon the sale or other disposition of shares that you have held for six months or less (after applying certain holding period rules), the loss you recognize will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to the extent you received distributions from us which were required to be treated as long-term capital gains. All or portion of any loss a U.S. Shareholder realizes upon a taxable disposition of our shares may be disallowed if the U.S. Shareholder purchases substantially identical stock within the 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition.

The maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers on net long-term capital gains (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) is 15% for most assets. In the case of individuals whose ordinary income is taxed at a 10% or 15% rate, the 15% rate is reduced to 5%. Absent future legislation, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains will return to 20% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2010.

Redemption of Shares

If we redeem any of your shares in us, the tax treatment of the redemption can only be determined on the basis of particular facts at the time of redemption. In general, you will recognize gain or loss (as opposed to dividend income) equal to the difference between the amount received by you in the redemption and your adjusted tax basis in your shares redeemed if such redemption results in a “complete termination” of your interest in all classes of our equity securities, is a “substantially disproportionate redemption” or is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to you. In applying these tests, there must be taken into account your ownership of all classes of our equity securities. You also must take into account any equity securities that are considered to be constructively owned by you.

If, as a result of a redemption by us of your shares, you no longer own (either actually or constructively) any of our equity securities or only own (actually and constructively) an insubstantial percentage of our equity securities, then it is likely that the redemption of your shares would be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” and, thus, would result in gain or loss to you. Gain from the sale or exchange of our shares held for more than one year is taxed at a maximum long-term capital gain rate. However, whether a distribution is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” depends on all of the facts and circumstances, and if you rely on any of these tests at the time of redemption, you should consult your tax advisor to determine their application to the particular situation.

Generally, if the redemption does not meet the tests described above, then the proceeds received by you from the redemption of your shares will be treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend to the extent of the allocable portion of current or accumulated earnings and profits. If the redemption is taxed as a dividend, your adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares will be transferred to any other shareholdings in us that you own. If you own no other shareholdings in us, under certain circumstances, such basis may be transferred to a related person, or it may be lost entirely.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We report to our U.S. Shareholders and the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the amount of any tax withheld. Under the backup withholding rules, a shareholder may be subject to backup withholding with respect to dividends paid unless the holder is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt

16

categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A U.S. Shareholder that does not provide us with its correct taxpayer identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount paid as backup withholding will be creditable against the shareholder’s income tax liability. In addition, we may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to any shareholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status. See “— Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders.”

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Shareholders

The IRS has ruled that amounts distributed as dividends by a qualified REIT do not constitute unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) when received by a tax-exempt entity. Based on that ruling, dividend income from us will not be UBTI to a tax-exempt shareholder so long as the tax-exempt shareholder (except certain tax-exempt shareholders described below) has not held its shares as “debt financed property” within the meaning of the Code (generally, shares, the acquisition of which was financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt shareholder) and the shares are not otherwise used in a trade or business. Similarly, income from the sale of shares will not constitute UBTI unless a tax-exempt shareholder has held its shares as “debt financed property” within the meaning of the Code or has used the shares in its trade or business.

For tax-exempt shareholders, which are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans exempt from federal income taxation under Code Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and (c)(20), respectively, income from an investment in our shares will constitute UBTI unless the organization is able to properly deduct amounts set aside or placed in reserve for certain purposes so as to offset the income generated by its investment in our shares. These prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these “set aside” and reserve requirements.

Notwithstanding the above, however, a portion of the dividends paid by a “pension held REIT” may be treated as UBTI as to certain types of trusts that hold more than 10% (by value) of the interests in the REIT.

A REIT will not be a “pension held REIT” if it is able to satisfy the “not closely held” requirement without relying upon the “look-through” exception with respect to certain trusts. We do not expect to be classified as a “pension held REIT,” but because our shares are publicly traded, we cannot guarantee this will always be the case.

Tax-exempt shareholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in our shares.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders

The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of non-U.S. Shareholders (defined below) are complex. This section is only a summary of such rules. We urge non-U.S. Shareholders to consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state, and local income tax laws on ownership of shares, including any reporting requirements. As used herein, the term “non-U.S. Shareholder” means any taxable beneficial owner of our shares (other than a partnership or entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a taxable U.S. Shareholder.

Ordinary Dividends.  A non-U.S. Shareholder that receives a distribution that is not attributable to gain from our sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests (as defined below) and that we do not designate as a capital gain dividend or retained capital gain will recognize ordinary income to the extent that we pay such distribution out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. A withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution ordinarily will apply to such distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or eliminates the tax. Under some treaties, however, rates below 30% that are applicable to ordinary income dividends from U.S. corporations may not apply to ordinary income dividends from a REIT or may apply only if the REIT meets certain additional conditions. If a distribution is treated as effectively connected with the non-U.S. Shareholder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business, however, the non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to federal income tax on the distribution at graduated rates, in the same manner as taxable U.S. Shareholders are taxed with respect to such

17

distributions (and also may be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a non-U.S. Shareholder that is a non-U.S. corporation unless the rate is reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty).

Return of Capital.  A non-U.S. Shareholder will not incur tax on a distribution to the extent it exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits if such distribution does not exceed the adjusted basis of its shares. Instead, such distribution in excess of earnings and profits will reduce the adjusted basis of such shares. A non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to tax to the extent a distribution exceeds both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the adjusted basis of its shares, if the non-U.S. Shareholder otherwise would be subject to tax on gain from the sale or disposition of its shares, as described below. Because we generally cannot determine at the time we make a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we normally will withhold tax on the entire amount of any distribution just as we would withhold on a dividend. However, a non-U.S. Shareholder may obtain a refund of amounts that we withhold if we later determine that a distribution in fact exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Capital Gain Dividends.  Provided that a particular class of our shares is “regularly traded” on an established securities market in the United States, and the non-U.S. Shareholder does not own more than 5% of the shares of such class at any time during the one-year period preceding the distribution, then amounts distributed with respect to those shares that are designated as capital gains from our sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests (defined below) are treated as ordinary dividends taxable as described above under “— Ordinary Dividends.”

If the foregoing exceptions do not apply, for example because the non-U.S. Shareholder owns more than 5% of our shares, the non-U.S. Shareholder will incur tax on distributions that are attributable to gain from our sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”). The term “U.S. real property interests” includes certain interests in real property and shares in corporations at least 50% of whose assets consists of interests in real property, but excludes mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. Under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. Shareholder is taxed on distributions attributable to gain from sales of U.S. real property interests as if such gain were effectively connected with a U.S. business of the non-U.S. Shareholder. A non-U.S. Shareholder thus would be taxed on such a distribution at the normal capital gain rates applicable to taxable U.S. Shareholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of a nonresident alien individual). A corporate non-U.S. Shareholder not entitled to treaty relief or exemption also may be subject to the 30% branch profits tax on distributions subject to FIRPTA. We must withhold 35% of any distribution that we could designate as a capital gain dividend. However, if we make a distribution and later designate it as a capital gain dividend, then (although such distribution may be taxable to a non-U.S. Shareholder) it is not subject to withholding under FIRPTA. Instead, we must make up the 35% FIRPTA withholding from distributions made after the designation, until the amount of distributions withheld at 35% equals the amount of the distribution designated as a capital gain dividend. A non-U.S. Shareholder may receive a credit against its FIRPTA tax liability for the amount we withhold.

Distributions to a non-U.S. Shareholder that we designate at the time of distribution as capital gain dividends which are not attributable to or treated as attributable to our disposition of a U.S. real property interest generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation, except as described below under “— Sale of Stock.”

Sale of Stock.  A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not incur tax under FIRPTA on gain from the sale of its shares as long as we are a “domestically controlled REIT.” A “domestically controlled REIT” is a REIT in which at all times during a specified testing period non-U.S. persons held, directly or indirectly, less than 50% in value of the shares. We believe that we are currently a “domestically controlled REIT.” Because our common shares are publicly traded, however, we cannot guarantee that we are or will continue to be a domestically controlled REIT. In addition, a non-U.S. Shareholder that owns, actually or constructively, 5% or less of a class of our outstanding shares at all times during a specified testing period will not incur tax under FIRPTA on a sale of such shares if the shares are “regularly traded” on an established securities market.

If neither of these exceptions were to apply, the gain on the sale of the shares would be taxed under FIRPTA, in which case a non-U.S. Shareholder would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return and would be taxed in the same manner as taxable U.S. Shareholders with respect to such gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals), and, if the sold shares were not regularly traded on an established securities market or we were not a domestically-controlled REIT, the

18

purchaser of the shares may be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 10% of the purchase price. Additionally, a corporate non-U.S. Shareholder may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax on gains from the sale of shares taxed under FIRPTA.

A non-U.S. Shareholder will incur tax on gain not subject to FIRPTA if (1) the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. trade or business, in which case the non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as taxable U.S. Shareholders with respect to such gain, or (2) the non-U.S. Shareholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year, in which case the non-U.S. Shareholder will incur a 30% tax on his capital gains. Capital gains dividends not subject to FIRPTA will be subject to similar rules. A non-U.S. Shareholder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has effectively connected interest income (as described in the first point above) may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax, which is generally imposed on a foreign corporation on the deemed repatriation from the United States of effectively connected earnings and profits, at a 30% rate, unless the rate is reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.  We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. Shareholder the amount of distributions paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such distributions, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such distributions and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. Shareholder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

Backup withholding (currently at the rate of 28%) and additional information reporting will generally not apply to distributions to a non-U.S. Shareholder provided that the non-U.S. Shareholder certifies under penalty of perjury that the Shareholder is a non-U.S. Shareholder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be credited against a non-U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or refunded to the extent excess amounts are withheld, provided that the required information is supplied to the IRS.

State and Local Tax Consequences

We may be subject to state or local taxation or withholding in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business and our shareholders may be subject to state or local taxation or withholding in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which they reside. Our state and local tax treatment may not conform to the federal income tax treatment discussed above. In addition, your state and local tax treatment may not conform to the federal income tax treatment discussed above. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an investment in our shares.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

We issued the common shares covered by this prospectus in private placements to the selling shareholders in connection with the redemption of their limited partnership interests in our subsidiaries, DDR/Tech 29 Limited Partnership (“Tech 29”) and Developers Diversified Centennial Promenade LP (“Centennial Promenade”). The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information about the selling shareholders as of June 15, 2008.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. Common shares issuable under stock options that are exercisable within 60 days after June 15, 2008 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the selling shareholders named in the table have sole voting and investment

19

power with respect to their common shares. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the party named below.

We do not know when or in what amounts the selling shareholders may offer shares for sale. The selling shareholders might not sell any or all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the selling shareholders may offer any amount of the shares pursuant to this offering, we cannot estimate the number of shares that will be held by the selling shareholders after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders have not held any position or office with, or had another material relationship with, us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years, except as follows:

In October 1997, Koelbel Promenade, LLC (“Koelbel”) and another entity entered into an agreement of limited partnership for Centennial Promenade with us. The agreement provided for a right of redemption of Koelbel’s interest in Centennial Promenade in exchange for cash or our common shares, which was exercised in June 2008 and resulted in the issuance of 126,434 common shares to Koelbel on June 17, 2008. The common shares offered by Koelbel hereby are being registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in October 1997 related to Centennial Promenade. Under the terms of the agreement of limited partnership, Koelbel may not, during any calendar quarter, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the common shares if that sale, transfer or other disposition would cause the aggregate number of common shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by all partners or former partners of Centennial Promenade and their affiliates to exceed 25,000 shares.

In September 1998, the selling shareholders (other than Koelbel Promenade, LLC) entered into an agreement of limited partnership for Tech 29 with us and one of our subsidiaries. The agreement provided for a right of redemption of each such selling shareholder’s interest in Tech 29 in exchange for cash or our common shares, which was exercised in May 2008 and resulted in the issuance of 336,751 common shares to those selling shareholders on June 13, 2008. The common shares offered by those selling shareholders hereby are being registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in October 1998 related to Tech 29.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling shareholders or the selling shareholders’ pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest who have received, after the date of this prospectus and from the selling shareholders, shares as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to

20

the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling shareholders may sell their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

•  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

•  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

•  crosses;

•  block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•  a transaction on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market;

•  in privately negotiated transactions; or

•  through the distribution of the shares to its partners, members or shareholders.

In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also sell the common shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling shareholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or their agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling shareholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling shareholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

21

At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (ii) ten years after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part.

Item 15.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Ohio Revised Code (the “Ohio Code”) authorizes Ohio corporations to indemnify officers and directors from liability if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer or director to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal actions, if the officer or director had no reason to believe his or her action was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of a corporation, indemnification may not be made (1) if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct, unless the court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, or (2) if liability asserted against such person concerns certain unlawful distributions. The indemnification provisions of the Ohio Code require indemnification if a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he or she was a party to by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The indemnification authorized under Ohio law is not exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and directors under the articles of incorporation or code of regulations of the corporation or any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any officer or director against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in his or her capacity, or arising out of his or her status, as an officer or director, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the Ohio Code.

The registrant’s code of regulations provides for the indemnification of directors and officers of the registrant to the maximum extent permitted by Ohio law as authorized by the board of directors of the registrant and for the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he or she was a party to by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the registrant upon the receipt of an undertaking to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification.

The registrant maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures the directors and officers of the registrant from claims arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such persons in their respective capacities as directors and officers of the registrant, subject to certain exceptions.

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers which provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Ohio law.

Item 17.   Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

II-2

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     I. The Class A Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class A Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class A Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class A Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class A Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on the Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class A Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

2

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item I) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class A Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class A Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class A Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except

3

as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class A Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class A Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item I.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class A Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class A Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class A Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

4

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class A Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item I; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class A Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item I; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class A Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item I prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class A Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class A Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class A Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class A Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class A Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such

5

bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class A Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class A Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class A Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class A Shares, unless all dividends on all Class A Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class A Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class A Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item I, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class A Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class A Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be

6

deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class A Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class A Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class A Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class A Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class A Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class A Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class A Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class A Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class A Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class A Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class A Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class A Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class A Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided.

7

Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class A Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class A Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class A Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class A Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class A Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class A Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class A Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

8

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class A Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class A Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class A Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class A Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class A Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class A Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class A Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class A Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class A Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 9¹/2% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class A Shares, 460,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “9¹/2% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares”). The 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Item I as being applicable to all Class A Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares as a series of Class A Shares:

9

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares shall be 9¹/2% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the 15th day of March, June, September, and December each year, the first quarterly dividend being payable, if declared, on December 15, 1995. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Share shall be $5.94.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to November 15, 2000. At any time or from time to time on and after November 15, 2000 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including

10

common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 9¹/2% Class A Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Item I, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

     II. The Class B Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class B Cumulative Preferred Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class B Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class B Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class B Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on the Cumulative Shares are cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class B Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

11

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item II) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), both inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class B Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class B Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class B Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class B Shares of all series

12

then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to the Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class B Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class B Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class B Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class B Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class B Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class B Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart; and

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class B Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

13

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent that it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class B Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class B Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class B Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item II; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class B Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item II; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class B Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item II prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class B Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class B Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class B Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust

14

company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class B Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class B Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class B Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class B Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class B Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class B Shares, unless all dividends on all Class B Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class B Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class B Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item II, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all

15

outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class B Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class B Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class B Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class B Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of Class B Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class B Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class B Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class B Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient therefor set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class B Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph.

     (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class B Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class B Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided,

16

however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class B Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class B Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class B Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class B Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class B Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation nor require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class B Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class B Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class B Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class B Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class B Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such

17

other shares and the Class B Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class B Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class B Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class B Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class B Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class B Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such Class B Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class B Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class B Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class B Shares or of any shares remaining on a parity with or junior to the Class B Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 9.44% Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class B Shares, 177,500 shares are designated as a series entitled “9.44% Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “9.44% Class B Preferred Shares”). The 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Item II as being applicable to all Class B Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares as a series of Class B Shares:

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares shall be 9.44% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the 15th day of March, June, September, and December each year, the first quarterly dividend being payable, if declared, on March 15, 1996. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 9.44% Class B Preferred Share shall be $5.90.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to December 26,

19

2000. At any time or from time to time on and after December 26, 2000 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 9.44% Class B Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 9.44% Class B Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Item II, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

     III. The Class C Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class C Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class C Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class C Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class C Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein.

20

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class C Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of

21

Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class C Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class C Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class C Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class C Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class C Shares of any series, unless:

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class C Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend

22

or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class C Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class C Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class C Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item III; and

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class C Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item III prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class C Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class C Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class C Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon

23

the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class C Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class C Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class C Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class C Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class C Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class C Shares, unless all dividends on all Class C Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class C Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item III, plus an amount equal to all dividends

24

accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class C Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class C Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class C Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class C Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class C Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class C Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class C Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class C Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class C Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class C Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such

25

Class C Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class C Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class C Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class C Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class C Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class C Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class C Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class C Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class C Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class C Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class C Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason

26

of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class C Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class C Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class C Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class C Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class C Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class C Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class C Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class C Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class C Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class C Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class C Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights

27

of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class C Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class C Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 8³/₈% Class C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class C Shares, 460,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “8³/₈% Class C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares”). The 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class C Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares as a series of Class C Shares:

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares shall be 8³/₈% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the fifteenth day of March, June, September, and December each year, the first quarterly dividend being payable, if declared, on September 15, 1998. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Share shall be $5.234375.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares; and

28

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to July 7, 2003. At any time or from time to time on and after July 7, 2003 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 8³/₈% Class C Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-III, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

     IV. The Class D Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class D Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class D Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class D Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class D Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares,

29

Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class D Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item IV) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each

30

such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class D Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class D Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class D Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class D Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class D Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class D Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class D Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class D Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class D Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class D Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

31

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IV.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class D Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class D Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class D Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class D Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IV; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class D Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IV; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class D Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series

32

pursuant to Section 1 of this Item IV prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class D Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class D Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class D Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class D Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class D Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class D Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class D Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class D Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class D Shares, unless all dividends on all Class D Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

33

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class D Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class D Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item IV, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class D Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class D Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class D Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class D Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class D Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class D Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class D Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided

34

further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class D Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class D Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class D Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class D Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class D Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class D Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class D Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class D Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class D Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class D Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class D Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class D Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class D Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death,

resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class D Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class D Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class D Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class D Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class D Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class D Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class D Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class D Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class D Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class D Shares.

36

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class D Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class D Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class D Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class D Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 8.68% Class D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class D Shares, 230,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “8.68% Class D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “8.68% Class D Preferred Shares”). The 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class D Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares as a series of Class D Shares:

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares shall be 8.68% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the fifteenth day of March, June, September, and December each year, the first quarterly dividend being payable, if declared, on December 15, 1998. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 8.68% Class D Preferred Share shall be $5.425.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

37

     (c) Dividends on 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 8.68 % Class D Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to August 20, 2003. At any time or from time to time on and after August 20, 2003 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 8.68% Class D Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 8.68% Class D Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-IV, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

38

     V. The Class E Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class E Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class E Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class E Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class E Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class E Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

39

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item V) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class E Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class E Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class E Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class E Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class E Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class E Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class E Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class E Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other

40

shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class E Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class E Shares of any series, unless:

               (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

               (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

               (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item V.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class E Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class E Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class E Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

               (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class E Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item V; and

41

               (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class E Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item V; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class E Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item V prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class E Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class E Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class E Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class E Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

               (2) If the holders of Class E Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class E Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class E Shares without serial designation.

42

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class E Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class E Shares, unless all dividends on all Class E Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class E Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class E Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item V, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

               (2) After payment to the holders of Class E Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class E Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class E Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class E Shares at the time outstanding,

43

whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class E Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class E Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class E Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class E Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class E Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class E Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class E Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

               (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class E Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class E Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class E Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class E Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class E Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class E Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class E Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise

44

permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class E Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

               (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class E Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class E Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class E Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class E Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class E Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class E Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

               (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class E Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as

45

amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class E Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class E Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class E Shares; or

               (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class E Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class E Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class E Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class E Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class E Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

          Section 6. Class E Series I Cumulative Preferred Shares.

     (a) DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. Of the 750,000 authorized Class E Cumulative Preferred Shares, without par value, 750,000 are designated as a series designated as “Class E Series I Cumulative Preferred Shares” (the “Series I Preferred Shares”). The Series I Preferred Shares have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Preferred Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all Series I Preferred Shares as a series of Preferred Shares. The number of Series I Preferred Shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors and by the filing of a certificate of amendment pursuant to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio stating that such increase or reduction has been so authorized; however, no decrease shall reduce the number of Series I Preferred Shares to a number less than that of the Series I Preferred Shares then outstanding plus the number of Series I Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise

46

of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Company.

     (b) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

               (1) (i) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred shares (or any similar shares) ranking prior to the Series I Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders of Series I Preferred Shares, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other junior shares, will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a Series I Preferred Share or fraction thereof, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all noncash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Shares after the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, after the first issuance of any Series I Preferred Share or fraction thereof. The multiple of cash and noncash dividends declared on the Common Shares to which holders of the Series I Preferred Shares are entitled, which is 10,000 initially but which will be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter provided, is hereinafter referred to as the “Dividend Multiple.” If the Company at any time after May 26, 1999 (the “Rights Declaration Date”): (i) declares or pays any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or (ii) effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the Dividend Multiple thereafter applicable to the determination of the amount of dividends that holders of Series I Preferred Shares are entitled to receive will be the Dividend Multiple applicable immediately prior to that event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after that event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to that event.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this paragraph (1), the Company shall, out of funds legally available for that purpose, declare a dividend or distribution on the Series I Preferred Shares as provided in this paragraph (1) immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend payable in Common Shares); but if no dividend or distribution has been declared on the Common Shares

47

during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series I Preferred Shares shall nevertheless accrue on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

               (2) Dividends will begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding Series I Preferred Shares from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such Series I Preferred Shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares will begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of Series I Preferred Shares entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends will begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends will not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series I Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares will be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix in accordance with applicable law a record date for the determination of holders of Series I Preferred Shares entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date will be not more than such number of days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof as may be allowed by applicable law.

     (c) REACQUIRED SHARES. Any Series I Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever will be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares will upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued preferred shares and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

     (d) LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Company, no distribution may be made (x) to the holders of shares ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series I Preferred Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series I Preferred Shares shall have received an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, plus an amount equal to the greater of (1) $10,000.00 per share or (2) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 10,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Shares, or (y) to the holders of shares ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series I Preferred Shares, except distributions made ratably on the Series I Preferred

48

Shares and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the Company at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declares or pays any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or (ii) effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the aggregate amount per share to which holders of Series I Preferred Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (x) of the preceding sentence will be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     Neither the consolidation of nor merging of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, will be considered to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company within the meaning of this paragraph (d).

     (e) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. If the Company shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other shares, stock or securities, cash or any other property, then in any such case the Series I Preferred Shares will at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 10,000 times the aggregate amount of shares, stock, securities, or other property, as the case may be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or exchanged, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, payable with respect to the Series I Preferred Shares. If the Company at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declares or pays any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or (ii) effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of Series I Preferred Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     (f) REDEMPTION. The Series I Preferred Shares are not redeemable, but the foregoing does not limit the ability of the Company to purchase or otherwise deal in the Series I Preferred Shares to the extent otherwise permitted hereby and by law.

49

     (g) AMENDMENT. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, may not be amended in any manner that would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series I Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series I Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class.

     (h) FRACTIONAL SHARES. Series I Preferred Shares may be issued in whole shares or in any fraction of a share that is one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share or any integral multiple of such fraction, which will entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series I Preferred Shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company may elect to make a cash payment as provided in that certain Rights Agreement dated as of May 26, 1999, between the Company and National City Bank, a national banking association, as rights agent, for fractions of a share smaller than one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share or any integral multiple thereof.

     VI. The Class F Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class F Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class F Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class F Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class F Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class F Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

50

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item VI) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

     The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class F Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class F Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class F Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class F Shares of all series

51

then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class F Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class F Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class F Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class F Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class F Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class F Shares of any series, unless:

               (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

               (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

               (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VI.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class F Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

52

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class F Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class F Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

               (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class F Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VI; and

               (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class F Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VI; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class F Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item VI prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class F Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class F Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class F Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any

53

unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class F Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

               (2) If the holders of Class F Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class F Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class F Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class F Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class F Shares, unless all dividends on all Class F Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class F Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class F Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item VI, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all

54

outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

               (2) After payment to the holders of Class F Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class F Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

          Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class F Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class F Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class F Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class F Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class F Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class F Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class F Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class F Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class F Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

               (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class F Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the

55

Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class F Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class F Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class F Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class F Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class F Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class F Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class F Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

               (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class F Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class F Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class F Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other

56

shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class F Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class F Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class F Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

               (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class F Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class F Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class F Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class F Shares; or

               (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class F Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class F Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class F Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class F Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class F Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of

57

Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 8.60% Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class F Shares, 690,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “8.60% Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “8.60% Class F Preferred Shares”). The 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class F Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares as a series of Class F Shares:

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall be 8.60% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the fifteenth day of March, June, September, and December each year, the first quarterly dividend being payable, if declared, on June 15, 2002. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall be $0.5375. Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

               (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares; and

               (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

58

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to March 27, 2007. At any time or from time to time on and after March 27, 2007 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 8.60% Class F Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 8.60% Class F Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-VI, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

     VII. The Class G Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class G Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class G Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series.

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item VII) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

          Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class G Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the

60

Class G Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class G Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class G Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class G Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class G Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class G Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class G Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class G Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class G Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VII.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition

61

of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class G Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class G Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class G Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class G Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VII; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class G Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VII; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class G Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item VII prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class G Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class G Shares so to be

62

redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class G Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class G Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class G Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class G Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class G Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class G Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class G Shares, unless all dividends on all Class G Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class G Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed

63

among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class G Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item VII, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class G Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class G Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class G Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class G Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class G Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class G Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class G Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class G Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class G Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the

64

revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class G Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class G Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class G Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class G Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class G Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class G Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class G Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class G Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class G Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class G Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class G Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class G Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any

65

Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class G Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class G Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class G Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class G Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class G Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class G Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class G Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class G Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class G Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class G Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class G Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or

66

otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class G Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class G Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 8% Class G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.

The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 8% Class G Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 8% Class G Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 8% Class G Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 8% Class G

67

Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 8% Class G Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 8% Class G Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 8% Class G Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to March 28, 2008. At any time or from time to time on and after March 28, 2008 the Corporation, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 8% Class G Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest.

     (e) The amount payable per 8% Class G Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 8% Class G Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such 8% Class G Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-VII, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class H Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item VIII) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class H Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class H Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class H Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VIII; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class H Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item VIII; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class H Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item VIII prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation

71

may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class H Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class H Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class H Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class H Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class H Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class H Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class H Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class H Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class H Shares, unless all dividends on all Class H Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

72

Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class H Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class H Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item VIII, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class H Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class H Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class H Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class H Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class H Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class H Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of

73

such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class H Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class H Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class H Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class H Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class H Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class H Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class H Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class H Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class H Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class H Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class H Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class H Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class H Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class H Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such

74

holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class H Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class H Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class H Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class H Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class H Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class H Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class H Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class H Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class H Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class H Shares.

75

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class H Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class H Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class H Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class H Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 7 3/8% Class H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class H Shares, 410,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “7 3/8% Class H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares”). The 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class H Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares as a series of Class H Shares:

The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares shall be $9.21875.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

76

     (c) Dividends on 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to July 28, 2008. At any time or from time to time on and after July 28, 2008 the Company, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $500.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest.

     (e) The amount payable per 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company shall be $500.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Company is in default in the payment of dividends on such 7 3/8% Class H Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-VIII, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Company is in default.

All Class I Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class I Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D

Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class I Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item IX) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

78

     The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class I Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class I Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class I Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class I Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class I Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class I Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class I Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class I Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class I Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class I Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

79

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IX.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class I Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class I Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class I Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class I Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IX; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class I Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item IX; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class I Shares to be redeemed at their

80

respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item IX prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class I Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class I Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class I Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class I Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class I Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class I Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class I Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class I Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class I Shares, unless all dividends on all Class I

81

Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class I Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class I Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item IX, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class I Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class I Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class I Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class I Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class I Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of

82

Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class I Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class I Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class I Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class I Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class I Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class I Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class I Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class I Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class I Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class I Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class I Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class I Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class I Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class I Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

83

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class I Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class I Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class J Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class I Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class I Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class I Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class I Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class I Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class I Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class I Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class I Shares; or

84

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class I Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class I Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class I Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class I Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class I Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 7.50% Class I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class I Shares, 345,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “7.50% Class I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “7.50% Class I Preferred Shares”). The 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class I Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares as a series of Class I Shares:

The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 7.50% Class I Preferred Share shall be $9.375.

     Dividends for the initial dividend period on the 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares, or for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one

85

one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) Except as required to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares may not be redeemed prior to May 7, 2009. At any time or from time to time on and after May 7, 2009 the Company, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $500.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest.

     (e) The amount payable per 7.50% Class I Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company shall be $500.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) All dividend payments made on the 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares, at any time during which the Company is in default in the payment of dividends on such 7.50% Class I Preferred Shares for any dividend period, shall, for the purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of this Division A-IX, be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Company is in default.

     X. The Class J Cumulative Preferred Shares. The Class J Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Class J Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Class J Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in

86

respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative. All Class J Shares shall rank on a parity with the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares and shall be identical to all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Shares shall be cumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class J Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

     (d) The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such dates and periods may be established;

     (e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

     (f) The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

     (g) The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

87

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item X) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

               The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class J Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class J Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class J Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class J Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class J Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class J Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class J Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class J Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class J Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class J Shares of any series, unless:

88

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item X.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class J Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class J Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class J Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class J Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item X; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class J Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price

89

fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item X; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class J Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item X prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class J Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class J Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class J Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class J Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class J Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class J Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class J Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated

90

Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class J Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class J Shares, unless all dividends on all Class J Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class J Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class J Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item X, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class J Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class J Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class J Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class J Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class J Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all

91

Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class K Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class J Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class J Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class J Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class J Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class J Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class J Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class J Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class J Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class J Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class J Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class J Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class J Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class J Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the

92

Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class J Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class J Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class J Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class K Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class J Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class J Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class J Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class J Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class J Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class J Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class J Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so

93

as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class J Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class J Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class J Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class J Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class J Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class J Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 9% Class J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class J Shares, 450,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “9% Class J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “9% Class J Preferred Shares”). The 9% Class J Preferred Share shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class J Preferred Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 9% Class J Preferred Shares as a series of Class J Shares:

     (a) The annual dividend rate of the 9% Class J Preferred Shares shall be 9% of the liquidation preference of $250.00 per share.

     (b) Dividends on the 9% Class J Preferred Shares shall be payable, if declared, quarterly on or about the fifteenth day of January, April, July and October. The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 9% Class J Preferred Share shall be $5.625. Dividends for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 9% Class J Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 9% Class J Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005

94

being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 9% Class J Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 9% Class J Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 9% Class J Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 9% Class J Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 9% Class J Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) The Corporation may, at any time or from time to time on, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, may redeem all or any part of the 9% Class J Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 9% Class J Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

     (f) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class J Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect the authorization, creation, increase in the authorized number of or issuance of any shares, or any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares, in any such case ranking prior to such series of Class J

95

     Preferred Shares in dividends, distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

All Class K Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be cumulative.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, both inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Class K Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series and, with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section), the following:

          (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

          (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

          (c) The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means by which such rates may be established;

          (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

          (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item XI) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

               The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Class K Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Class K Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Class K Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class K Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date (but, with respect to Noncumulative Shares, only with respect to the then current dividend period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares and Noncumulative Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

     (b) So long as any Class K Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Class K Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except

97

as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class K Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class K Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class K Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Class K Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XI.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class K Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares, or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     (d) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the “Total Dividends”), then, to the extent permissible under the Code and to the extent it does not cause any dividends to fail to qualify for the dividends paid deduction under Section 561 of the Code, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of the Class K Shares shall be the amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the Class K Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

98

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Class K Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XI; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Class K Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XI; and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Class K Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item XI prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Class K Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Class K Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Class K Shares so to be redeemed, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Class K Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Class K Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Class K Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in

99

satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Class K Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all of the Class K Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Class K Shares, unless all dividends on all Class K Shares then outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Class K Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Class K Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item XI, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Class K Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Class K Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

100

Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Class K Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment of dividends on any series of Class K Shares at the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, all holders of such Class K Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares and Noncumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable under the circumstances described in Subsection 5(c), shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, a total of two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Class K Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Class K Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Class K Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the holders of such Class K Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph. All dividend payments made on the Class K Shares, at any time during which the Corporation is in default in the payment of dividends on such Class K Shares for any dividend period, shall be deemed to be made in respect of the earliest dividend period with respect to which the Corporation is in default.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Class K Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Class K Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Class K Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Class K Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Class K Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Class K Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any

101

action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Class K Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation or require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Class K Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Class K Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Class K Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares or Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and the Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with each class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Class K Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Class K Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Class K Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class K Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated

102

Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class K Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class K Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class K Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Class K Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such series of Class K Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Class K Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of Class K Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Class K Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class K Shares nor the Amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series.

     Section 6. 8⁷/₈% Class K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. Of the 750,000 authorized Class K Shares, 350,000 shares are designated as a series entitled “8⁷/₈% Class K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares” (hereinafter called “8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares”). The 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares shall have the express terms set forth in this Division as being applicable to all Class K Preferred Shares as a class and, in addition, the following express terms applicable to all 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares as a series of Class K Shares:

The dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period on each 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Share shall be $5.546875. Dividends for any period shorter or longer than a full dividend period on the 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend payable quarterly to each holder of 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent with $.00005 being rounded upward. Each dividend shall be payable to the holders of record on such record date, no less than 10 nor more than 30 days preceding the payment date thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

     (c) Dividends on 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares shall be cumulative as follows:

          (1) With respect to shares included in the initial issue of 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares and shares issued any time thereafter up to and including the record date for the payment of the first dividend on the initial issue of 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares, dividends shall be cumulative from the date of the initial issue of 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares; and

          (2) With respect to shares issued any time after the aforesaid record date, dividends shall be cumulative from the dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, except that if such shares are issued during the period commencing the day after the record date for the payment of a dividend on 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares and ending on the payment date of that dividend, dividends with respect to such shares shall be cumulative from that dividend payment date.

     (d) The Corporation may, at any time or from time to time on, at its option upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, redeem all or any part of the 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $250.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date, without interest. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Corporation, which may include any equity securities (including common shares and preferred shares), shares, interests, participation or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

     (e) The amount payable per 8⁷/₈% Class K Preferred Share in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation shall be $250.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment.

104

     (f) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class K Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect the authorization, creation, increase in the authorized number of or issuance of any shares, or any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares, in any such case ranking prior to such series of Class K Preferred Shares in dividends, distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

     XII. The Noncumulative Preferred Shares. The Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall have the following express terms:

     Section 1. Series. The Noncumulative Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. All Noncumulative Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such series, except as to the dates on which and the periods for which dividends may be payable. All Noncumulative Shares shall rank on a parity with the Cumulative Shares, and shall be identical to all Cumulative Shares, except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on the Noncumulative Shares are noncumulative as set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 through 5, inclusive, and Item XIII of this Division, which provisions shall apply to all Noncumulative Shares, the Board of Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or more series, and with respect to each such series, to determine and fix prior to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section) the following:

     (a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

     (b) The authorized number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may (except where otherwise provided in the creation of the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

     (h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

     (i) Restrictions (in addition to those set forth in Subsection 5(d) or 5(e) of this Item XII) on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

          The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through (i), both inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such amendments.

     Section 2. Dividends.

     (a) The holders of Noncumulative Shares of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares, shall be entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends shall accrue, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors fails to declare a dividend payable on a dividend payment date on any Noncumulative Shares, the holders of the Noncumulative Shares shall have no right to receive a dividend in respect of the dividend period ending on such dividend payment date, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay the dividend accrued for such period, whether or not dividends on such Noncumulative Shares are declared payable on any future dividend payment date. No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Noncumulative Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the then current dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Noncumulative Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares, Class G Shares, Class H Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares and Class K Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividends.

106

     (b) So long as any Noncumulative Shares shall be outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares, shall be paid or declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance of Noncumulative Shares of any series, unless:

          (1) All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart;

          (2) All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Shares for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

          (3) There shall be no arrearages with respect to the redemption of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XII.

     (c) The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption retirement or other acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Noncumulative Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of Cumulative Shares or Noncumulative Shares into Common Shares or (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to Item XIV(d) of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized.

     Section 3. Redemption.

     (a) Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

          (1) May, from time to time at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Noncumulative Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XII; and

          (2) Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each series of Noncumulative Shares as may be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Item XII; and shall, in each case, pay all unpaid dividends for the then current dividend period to the redemption date.

     (b) (1) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Noncumulative Shares to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Item XII prior to the issuance thereof. At any time after notice as provided above has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate redemption price of Noncumulative Shares to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon for the then current dividend period to the redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the Noncumulative Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption price of the Noncumulative Shares so to be redeemed together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon for the then current dividend period, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privileges of conversion. In the event less than all of the outstanding Noncumulative Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

          (2) If the holders of Noncumulative Shares which have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust company shall, upon

108

demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

     (c) Any Noncumulative Shares which are (1) redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided for shares of such series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued Noncumulative Shares without serial designation.

     (d) Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation’s rights pursuant to Section (d) of Item XIV of this Division A, Section 4(d) of Division B or any similar Section hereafter contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to any other class or series of capital stock hereafter created or authorized, the Corporation may not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) of less than all of the Noncumulative Shares then outstanding except in accordance with a stock purchase offer made to all holders of record of Noncumulative Shares, unless all dividends on all Noncumulative Shares then outstanding for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

     Section 4. Liquidation.

     (a) (1) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Noncumulative Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Shares, the amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Item XII, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon for the then current dividend period to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. In the event the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Noncumulative Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

          (2) After payment to the holders of Noncumulative Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of Noncumulative Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

109

     (b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up for the purposes of this Section.

     Section 5. Voting.

     (a) The holders of Noncumulative Shares shall have no voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

     (b) (1) If, and so often as, the Corporation shall not have fully paid, or shall not have declared and set aside a sum sufficient for the payment of, dividends on any series of Noncumulative Shares at the time outstanding, for a number of dividend payment periods, whether consecutive or not, which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, the holders of such Noncumulative Shares, voting separately as a class, together with all Cumulative Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of such Noncumulative Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of such Noncumulative Shares are present in person or by proxy; and provided further, that the special class voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so vested until the Corporation shall have fully paid, or shall have set aside a sum sufficient for the payment of, dividends on such Noncumulative Shares then outstanding for a number of consecutive dividend payment periods which in the aggregate contain at least 360 days, whereupon the holders of such Noncumulative Shares shall be divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in this paragraph.

          (2) In the event of default entitling holders of Noncumulative Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the Noncumulative Shares upon which such default in the payment of dividends exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Noncumulative Shares. At any meeting at which such holders of Noncumulative Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of such Noncumulative Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any such

110

meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which such holders of Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by such holders of Noncumulative Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Nothing in this Subsection shall prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or classifications of directors of the Corporation nor require the resignation of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. Notwithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, the two directors elected by such holders of Noncumulative Shares shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

          (3) Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of the holders of the Noncumulative Shares in respect of elections of directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

     (c) If at any time when the holders of Noncumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section the holders of any Cumulative Shares are entitled to elect directors pursuant hereto by reason of any default in the payment of dividends thereon, then the voting rights of the Cumulative Shares and Noncumulative Shares then entitled to vote shall be combined (with class of shares having a number of votes proportional to the aggregate liquidation preference of its outstanding shares). In such case, the holders of Noncumulative Shares and of all such other shares then entitled so to vote, voting as a class, shall elect such directors. If the holders of any such other shares have elected such directors prior to the happening of the default or event permitting the holders of Noncumulative Shares to elect directors, or prior to a written request for the holding of a special meeting being received by the Secretary of the Corporation as required above, then a new election shall be held with all such other shares and the Noncumulative Shares voting together as a single class for such directors, resulting in the termination of the term of such previously elected directors upon the election of such new directors.

     (d) The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Noncumulative Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

111

          (1) Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Noncumulative Shares which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Noncumulative Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Noncumulative Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of Noncumulative Shares; or

          (2) The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case ranking prior to such Noncumulative Shares.

     (e) In the event, and only to the extent, that (1) Noncumulative Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the holders of a series of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a class, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of the Noncumulative Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended; provided, however, neither the amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of Noncumulative Shares or of any shares remaining on a parity with or junior to the Noncumulative Shares nor the amendment of the provisions of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holder of such series.

     (v) For purposes of construing the foregoing provisions, any attempt to transfer Preferred Shares in violation of the Ownership Limit applicable to the series of the class of such Preferred Shares (as such Ownership Limit may be modified by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section (h) of Item XIV) shall be construed as causing such Preferred Shares to be transferred by operation of law to the Corporation as trustee of a trust for the exclusive benefit of the person or persons to whom such Preferred Shares can ultimately be transferred without violating the Ownership Limit and any Excess Preferred Shares while held in such trust shall not have any voting rights, shall not be considered for purposes of any shareholder vote or for determining a quorum for such a vote, and shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions.

     (c) Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors or its designees shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section (b) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Preferred Shares of the Corporation in violation of Section (b) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, or that any such Transfer, intended or attempted acquisition or acquisition would jeopardize the status of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code, the Board of Directors or its designees shall take such actions as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer and, in addition, exercising its rights under Section (d) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH.

The Corporation shall have the

116

right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of such Transfer and (ii) if the Corporation does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section (e) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, the date the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such Transfer has occurred. Prompt payment of the purchase price shall be made in such reasonable manner as may be determined by the Corporation. From and after the date fixed for purchase by the Corporation, and so long as payment of the purchase price for the Excess Preferred Shares to be so purchased shall have been made or duly provided for, the holder of any Excess Preferred Shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to dividends, distributions, voting rights and other benefits with respect to such Excess Preferred Shares, excepting only the right to payment of the purchase price fixed as aforesaid. Any dividend or distribution paid to a proposed transferee of Excess Preferred Shares prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the Excess Preferred Shares have been transferred in violation of Section (b) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand. If the foregoing provisions are determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the intended transferee of such Excess Preferred Shares shall be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as agent on behalf of the Corporation in acquiring such Excess Preferred Shares and to hold such Excess Preferred Shares on behalf of the Corporation.

     (e) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Preferred Shares or other securities in violation of subparagraph (b) of this Item XIV, or any Person who owns or will own Excess Preferred Shares as a result of an event under subparagraph (b) of this Item XIV, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (f) Owners Required to Provide Information. From and after the date of the Initial Public Offering:

     (i) every Beneficial Owner of more than 5.0% (or such other percentage, between 0.5% and 5.0%, as provided in the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code) of the outstanding Preferred Shares of the Corporation shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of shares Beneficially Owned, and description of how such shares are held. Each such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

117

     (ii) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Preferred Shares and each Person (including the shareholder of record) who is holding Preferred Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information that the Corporation may request, in good faith, in order to determine the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (g) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Division A of this Article FOURTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its shareholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (h) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, including any definition contained in Section (a) of this Item XIV, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Item XIV with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it.

          (1) Exceptions.

     (i) Subject to Section (b)(iv) of this Item XIV of this Division A, the Board of Directors may exempt a Person from the Ownership Limit applicable to a series of a class of Preferred Shares if such Person is not an individual (other than pension plans described in Section 856(h)(3)) for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code if the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial Ownership of such Preferred Shares will violate the Ownership Limit, and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Preferred Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit being subject to repurchase by the Corporation as set forth in Section (d) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH.

     (ii) The Board of Directors may exempt a Person from the limitation on such Person Constructively Owning Preferred Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit applicable to a series of a class of such Preferred Shares if such Person does not own and represents that it will not own, directly or constructively (by virtue of the application of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B)) in a tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation, if the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact and agrees that any

118

violation or attempted violation will result in such Preferred Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit being deemed to be Excess Preferred Shares and subject to repurchase by the Corporation as set forth in Section (d) of this Item XIV of this Division A of this Article FOURTH.

     XV. Legend. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

          “The Preferred Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to certain provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any series of any class of Preferred Shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Preferred Shares of such series. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any series of any class of Preferred Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each shareholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, certain of the Preferred Shares represented hereby may be subject to repurchase by the Corporation on the terms and conditions set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.

     “Dividend Periods” shall mean each quarterly dividend period commencing on and including March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year and ending on and including the day preceding the first day of the next succeeding Dividend Period, other than the Dividend Period during which any Voting Preferred Shares shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 5, which shall end on and include the Redemption Date with respect to the Voting Preferred Shares being redeemed.

     Section 3. Dividends. (a) The holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, cumulative dividends payable in cash in an amount per Voting Preferred Share equal to $2.3438 per annum (equivalent to 9 3/8% of the per share Liquidation Preference per annum). Such dividends shall be cumulative from the first day of the Dividend Period in which the Closing Date (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 4, 2002 by and among the Corporation, JDN Realty Corporation and DDR Transitory Sub, Inc.) shall occur, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Voting Preferred Shares, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls on or such other

120

date designated by the Board of Directors for the payment of dividends that is not more than 45 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date. No dividends on the Voting Preferred Shares shall be declared by the Board of Directors or be paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to the Corporation’s indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

     (b) Any dividend payable on the Voting Preferred Shares for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Voting Preferred Shares. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Voting Preferred Shares that may be in arrears. Any dividend payment made on the Voting Preferred Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable.

     (c) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the total distributions (as determined for federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes of capital stock (the “Total Dividends”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be in the same proportion that the Total Dividends paid or made available to the holders of Voting Preferred Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends. If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects, as provided in Section 857(b)(3)(D) of the Code, to designate as “undistributed capital gains” any portion of the Corporation’s total net capital gains for the taxable year, then such undistributed capital gains shall be allocated between the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the holders of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation in a manner that is consistent with such allocations being considered other than a “preferential dividend” within the meaning of Section 562(c) of the Code.

     (d) So long as any of the Voting Preferred Shares are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares ranking on a parity unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding Voting Preferred Shares have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment of such

121

dividends on the Voting Preferred Shares for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such shares ranking on a parity. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Voting Preferred Shares and all dividends declared upon any shares ranking on a parity shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Voting Preferred Shares and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such shares ranking on a parity.

     (e) So long as any of the Voting Preferred Shares are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares, ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares, nor shall any shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Shares made for purposes of an employee incentive, benefit or stock purchase plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares, ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding Voting Preferred Shares have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding Voting Preferred Shares for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares, or the date such shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares in respect thereof, as the case may be.

     (f) In determining the extent to which a distribution with respect to the Voting Preferred Shares constitutes a dividend for tax purposes, the earnings and profits of the Corporation will be allocated, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the ranking of the class of capital stock or series of capital stock, constituting a class within the meaning of Code Section 562(c), of the Corporation, as described in Section 7.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares ranking junior to or on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any shares ranking junior to

122

or on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to assist in maintaining the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code.

     Section 4. Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares, the holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per Voting Preferred Share (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus an amount equal to all dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Voting Preferred Shares and any such other shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Voting Preferred Shares and any such other shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other entities, (ii) a sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

     (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Voting Preferred Shares and any shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and any shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share therein.

     Section 5. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. (a) Shares of Voting Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to September 15, 2003. On and after September 15, 2003, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem Voting Preferred Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to $25.00 per share, plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”); provided, however, that in the event of a redemption of Voting Preferred Shares, if the Redemption Date occurs after a

123

dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such dividend record date, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Voting Preferred Shares (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation of other capital shares of the Corporation (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, “capital shares” means any common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation.

     (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation.

     (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding Voting Preferred Shares have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no Voting Preferred Shares may be redeemed unless all outstanding Voting Preferred Shares are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire Voting Preferred Shares other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Voting Preferred Shares.

     (d) If the Corporation shall redeem Voting Preferred Shares pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder’s address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of Voting Preferred Shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (4) the redemption price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be (x) payable as part of the redemption price, or (y) payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence.

124

     Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the Voting Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the Voting Preferred Shares called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Voting Preferred Shares of the Corporation shall cease except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any Voting Preferred Shares occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such Voting Preferred Shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation’s obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such Voting Preferred Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the Voting Preferred Shares so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of Voting Preferred Shares to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of Voting Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash.

     As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such Voting Preferred Shares to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding Voting Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding Voting Preferred Shares not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of Voting Preferred Shares held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Voting Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof.

125

     Section 6. Status of Reacquired Shares. All Voting Preferred Shares which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be deemed retired.

     Section 7. Ranking. The Voting Preferred Shares rank prior to, on a parity with, or junior to other shares of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Item XIII of this Division A.

     Section 8. Voting. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Voting Preferred Shares or any series or class of shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the “Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares”)) and the holders of Voting Preferred Shares, together with the holders of shares of all other Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of class or series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of shareholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrearages in dividends on the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of at least ten percent (10%) of Voting Preferred Shares (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and of the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares for the election of the two directors to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Code of Regulations of the Corporation for a special meeting of the shareholders or as required by law. If any such special meeting required to be called as above provided shall not be called by the Secretary within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any holder of Voting Preferred Shares may call such meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access to the stock books of the Corporation. The directors elected at any such special meeting shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or special meeting held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors

126

elected by the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares and the Arrearage Voting Preferred Shares or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above.

     (b) So long as any Voting Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders required by law or by the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

          (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an “Event”), that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (A) so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue, any shares ranking junior to the Voting Preferred Shares or any shares of any class or series of shares ranking on a parity with the Voting Preferred Shares or (B) with respect to the occurrence of any Event, so long as the Voting Preferred Shares remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of the Event, the Corporation may not be the surviving entity, shall not in either case be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Voting Preferred Shares; or

          (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Voting Preferred Shares or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Voting Preferred Shares (whether or not such class or series of shares ranking prior to the Voting Preferred Shares is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such shares ranking prior to the Voting Preferred Shares or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Voting Preferred Shares at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5.

     (c) In addition to the foregoing, the holders of Voting Preferred Shares shall be entitled to vote on all matters (for which holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to vote thereon) at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation, and shall be entitled to one vote for each Voting Preferred Share entitled to vote at such meeting.

127

     Section 9. Record Holders. The Corporation and its transfer agent may deem and treat the record holder of any Voting Preferred Shares as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     (ii) Except as provided in Section 4(i) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, from and after the date of the Initial Public Offering, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than an Existing Holder) Beneficially Owning Common Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Common Shares which would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Common Shares.

     (iii) Except as provided in Section 4(i) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, from and after the date of the Initial Public Offering, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in any Existing Holder Beneficially Owning Common Shares in excess of the applicable Existing Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Common Shares which would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Existing Holder in excess of the applicable Existing Holder Limit, and such Existing Holder shall acquire no rights in such Common Shares.

     (iv) Except as provided in Section 4(i) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, from and after the date of the Initial Public Offering, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in any Person Constructively Owning Common Shares in excess of the Related Party Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Common Shares which would be otherwise Constructively Owned by such Person in excess of such amount, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Common Shares.

     (v) Except as provided in Section 4(i) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, from and after the date of the Initial Public Offering, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the Common Shares being beneficially owned by less than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Common Shares which would be otherwise beneficially owned by the transferee,

131

and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Common Shares.

     (vi) From and after the date of the Initial Public Offering, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the Corporation being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of the Common Shares which would cause the Corporation to be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Common Shares.

     (c) Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors or its designees shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 4(b) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Common Shares of the Corporation in violation of Section 4(b) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, or that any such Transfer, intended or attempted acquisition or acquisition would jeopardize the status of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code, the Board of Directors or its designees shall take such actions as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer and, in addition, exercising its rights under Section 4(d) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH.

     (d) Purchase Right in Excess Shares. Beginning on the date of the occurrence of a Transfer which, if consummated, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, could result in Excess Shares, such Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that created such Excess Shares (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (i) the date of such Transfer and (ii) if the Corporation does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 4(e) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, the date the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such Transfer has occurred. Prompt payment of the purchase price shall be made in such reasonable manner as may be determined by the Corporation. From and after the date fixed for purchase by the Corporation, and so long as payment of the purchase price for the Excess Shares to be so purchased shall have been made or duly provided for, the holder of any Excess Shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to dividends, distributions, voting rights and other benefits with respect to such Excess Shares, excepting only the right to payment of the purchase price fixed as aforesaid. Any dividend or distribution paid to a proposed transferee of Excess Shares prior to the discovery by the Corporation

132

that the Excess Shares have been transferred in violation of Section 4(b) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand. If the foregoing provisions are determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the intended transferee of such Excess Shares shall be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as agent on behalf of the Corporation in acquiring such Excess Shares and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of the Corporation.

     (e) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or intends to acquire shares in violation of Section 4(b) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH or any Person who is a transferee of Excess Shares shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or intended Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (f) Owners Required to Provide Information. From and after the date of the Initial Public Offering:

     (i) every Beneficial Owner of more than 5.0% (or such other percentage, between 0.5% and 5.0%, as provided in the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of shares Beneficially Owned, and description of how such shares are held. Each such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (ii) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Common Shares and each Person (including the shareholder of record) who is holding Common Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information that the Corporation may request, in good faith, in order to determine the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (g) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Division B of this Article FOURTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its shareholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (h) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of Section 4 of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, including

133

any definition contained in Section 4(a), the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it.

     (i) Modification of Existing Holder Limits. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(k) of this Division B, the Existing Holder Limits may be modified as follows:

     (i) Subject to the limitations provided in Section 4(k), any Existing Holder may Transfer Common Shares to a Person who is already an Existing Holder up to the number of Common Shares Beneficially Owned by such transferor Existing Holder in excess of the Ownership Limit. Any such Transfer will decrease the Existing Holder Limit for such transferor Existing Holder and increase the Existing Holder Limit for such transferee Existing Holder by the percentage of the outstanding Common Shares so Transferred. The transferor Existing Holder shall give the Board of Directors of the Corporation prior written notice of any such Transfer.

     (ii) Any grant of a stock option pursuant to a stock option plan approved by the shareholders of the Corporation shall increase the Existing Holder Limit for the affected Existing Holder to the maximum extent possible under Section 4(k) to permit the Beneficial Ownership of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such stock option.

     (iii) The Board of Directors may reduce the Existing Holder Limit for any Existing Holder, with the written consent of such Existing Holder, after any Transfer permitted in this Section 4 by such Existing Holder to a Person other than an Existing Holder or after the lapse (without exercise) of a stock option described in Section 4(i)(ii).

     (iv) Any Common Shares issued to an Existing Holder pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan adopted by the Corporation shall increase the Existing Holder Limit for the Existing Holder to the maximum extent possible under Section 4(k) to permit the Beneficial Ownership of such Common Shares.

     (j) Modification of Ownership Limit. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 4(k) of this Division B, the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Ownership Limit.

     (k) Limitations on Modifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Division B of this Article FOURTH:

134

     (i) Neither the Ownership Limit nor any Existing Holder Limit may be increased (nor may any additional Existing Holder Limit be created) if, after giving effect to such increase (or creation), five Beneficial Owners of Common Shares (including all of the then Existing Holders) could Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, more than 49.6% of the outstanding Common Shares.

     (ii) Prior to the modification of any Existing Holder Limit or Ownership Limit pursuant to Section 4(i) or Section 4(j) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

     (iii) No Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is less than the Ownership Limit.

     (iv) The Ownership Limit may not be increased to a percentage which is greater than 9.8%.

     (v) The Related Party Limit may not be increased to a percentage which is greater than 9.8%.

     (l) Exceptions.

     (i) The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel, may exempt a Person from the Ownership Limits or the Existing Holder Limits, as the case may be, if such Person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial Ownership of such Common Shares will violate the Ownership Limit or the applicable Existing Holder Limit, as the case may be, and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Common Shares in excess of 5.0% of the outstanding Common Shares being deemed to be Excess Shares and subject to repurchase by the Corporation as set forth in Section 4(d) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH.

     (ii) The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel, may exempt a Person from the limitation on such Person Constructively Owning Common Shares in excess of the Related Party Limit if such Person does not own and represents that it will not own, directly or constructively (by virtue of the application of Section 318 of the

135

Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) in a tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation, and the Corporation obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Common Shares in excess of 9.8% being deemed to be Excess Shares and subject to repurchase by the Corporation as set forth in Section 4(d) of this Division B of this Article FOURTH.

     Section 5. Legend. Each certificate for Common Shares shall bear the following legend:

     “The Common Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to certain provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, no Person may Beneficially Own Common Shares in excess of 5.0% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (unless such Person is an Existing Holder) and no Person (other than an Existing Holder who Constructively Owns in excess of 9.8% of the Common Shares immediately following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering) may Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All capitalized items in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each shareholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, certain of the Common Shares represented may be subject to repurchase by the Corporation on the terms and conditions set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.”

     Section 6. Securities Exchange Transactions. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, nothing in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.

          FIFTH: At all times following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (as defined in Article FOURTH), at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall, except during the period of a vacancy or vacancies therein, be Independent Directors. An “Independent Director” shall mean a person who is not (i) employed by the Corporation or (ii) an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of (A) any entity which is part of the Developers Diversified Group, including, without limitation, Developers Diversified Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership, Developers Diversified, Ltd., an Ohio limited partnership, W & M Properties, an Ohio general partnership, W & Z Properties, Ltd., an Ohio limited partnership, and DE Properties Corporation,

136

an Ohio corporation, or (B) any partnership which is an affiliate (as defined above) of any entity listed in clause (A) of this Article FIFTH.

          SIXTH: No holder of shares of the corporation of any class shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for or purchase shares of any class, now or hereafter authorized, or to subscribe for or purchase securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the corporation or to which shall be attached or appertain any warrants or rights entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares, except such rights of subscription or purchase, if any, for such considerations and upon such terms and conditions as its Board of Directors from time to time may determine.

          SEVENTH: Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 1701.01 to 1701.98, inclusive, of the Ohio Revised Code, or any successor statutes now or hereafter in force, requiring for the authorization or taking of any action the vote or consent of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise two-thirds or any other proportion of the voting power of the corporation or of any class or classes of shares thereof, such action, unless otherwise expressly required by law or these Articles of Incorporation, may be authorized or taken by the vote or consent of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the corporation or of such class or classes of shares thereof.

          Except as provided in the Company’s code of regulations with respect to the election of a director to fill a vacancy in the Board of Directors, each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any shareholder meeting held for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if as of the date that is ten days in advance of the date the Company files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a shareholder meeting the number of nominees for election as a director is greater than the number of directors to be elected, then the directors shall be elected at the meeting by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at that meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the director. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be considered votes cast at the shareholder meeting and will be excluded in determining the number of votes cast at the shareholder meeting. 

          EIGHTH: To the extent permitted by law, the corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, may purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any class issued by it at such times, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as its Board of Directors may determine.

          NINTH: The provisions of Chapter 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the Corporation.

          TENTH: The provisions of Chapter 1707.043 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the Corporation.

          ELEVENTH: If any provision (or portion thereof) of these Articles of Incorporation shall be found to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable for any reason, the

137

remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of these Articles of Incorporation shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or otherwise rendered inapplicable, it being the intent of the Corporation and its shareholders that each such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of these Articles of Incorporation remain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all shareholders, notwithstanding any such finding.

          TWELFTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in these Articles of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon shareholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

          THIRTEENTH: These Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall take the place of and supersede the Corporation’s existing Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation

Beachwood, Ohio 44122

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about the date hereof, relating to the re-sale by the selling shareholders listed in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement of an aggregate of 463,185 common shares, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

     We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of those documents and instruments filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and such records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and such other documents as we deemed necessary to render this opinion.

     In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

     We assume that the appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer and sale of the Common Shares, to register and qualify the Common Shares for sale under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws.

     We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the state laws of Ohio and the federal laws of the United States of America.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Common Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.

     This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof. Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation

Beachwood, Ohio 44122
Re: Qualification as a REIT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the SEC on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”), you have requested our opinion regarding whether Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (the “Company”) qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for its taxable years ended December 31, 1993 through December 31, 2007, whether it was organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT, and whether its method of operation enabled the Company to meet, and will enable it to continue to meet, the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

     This opinion is based on certain representations made by the Company as to factual matters as set forth in the registration statements on Forms S-3 and S-11 previously filed with the SEC (the “Prior Registration Statements”). In addition, this opinion is based upon a representation letter and certificate (the “Representation Letter”) certifying and covenanting, among other items, that the Company has made a timely election to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and, commencing with such initial taxable year, the Company has operated and will continue to operate in accordance with the terms and provisions of its articles of incorporation and code of regulations and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prior Registration Statements. We have not attempted to verify independently such representations and statements, but in the course of our representation nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to question the accuracy thereof.

     Finally, for purposes of our review, we have also assumed, with your consent, the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies of documents we have examined, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authority of any individual or individuals who executed any such documents on behalf of any other person, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as certified or reproduction copies.

     Based on the Representation Letter and subject to the foregoing and to the qualifications below, it is our opinion that the Company qualified as a REIT for its taxable years ended December 31, 1993 through December 31, 2007, the Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code, and the Company’s current and proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for its current and subsequent taxable years.

     The opinions set forth in this letter are based on existing law as contained in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect on the date hereof, and the interpretations of such provisions and regulations by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively, and to possibly different interpretations. Also, any variation from the factual statements set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prior Registration Statements or the Representation Letter may affect the conclusions stated herein. Moreover, the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the Company’s ability to meet, through actual annual operating results, distributions to shareholders, asset composition levels, and diversity of share ownership, the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which will not be reviewed by Baker & Hostetler LLP. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operations for any one taxable year will satisfy such requirements. We wish to point out that our opinion represents our best judgment of how a court would decide if presented with the issues addressed herein but, because our opinions are not binding upon the IRS or any court, there can be no assurance that contrary positions may not successfully be asserted by the IRS.

     This opinion is limited to the federal income tax matters addressed herein, and no other opinions are rendered with respect to other federal tax matters or to any issues arising under the tax laws of any state or locality. Additional issues may exist that could affect the federal tax treatment of the transactions or matters addressed above and our opinions do not consider or provide a conclusion with respect to any such additional issues. Our opinions are not written, and cannot be used, to avoid tax penalties with respect to any federal tax issues not addressed above. We undertake no obligation to update the opinions expressed herein after the date of this letter. This opinion is solely for the information and use of the addressee and may not be relied on or referred to by any other person or entity without the express written consent of this Firm.

Very truly yours,
