ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On July 10, 2002 the Company acquired, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 3, 2002 (the "Merger Agreement"), among General Growth Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), GGP Limited Partnership ("GGPLP"), of which the Company is the general partner, JP Realty, Inc. ("JP Realty") and its operating partnership subsidiary, Price Development Company, Limited Partnership ("PDC"), all of the outstanding shares of each class of common stock of JP Realty and all of the outstanding common units of limited partnership in PDC by merging JP Realty and PDC with indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The acquisition closed on July 10, 2002, immediately following the approval by the common stockholders of JP Realty. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.1 billion, which included the assumption of approximately $460 million of existing debt and $116 million of existing preferred operating units. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of JP Realty common stock was converted into $26.10 in cash without interest, which represented a total payment in cash of approximately $431 million. In addition, each common unit of limited partnership interest in PDC was converted into either $26.10 in cash without interest or, at the election of the holder of such unit who is an accredited investor, 0.522 8.5% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units of limited partnership of GGPLP (the "Series B Preferred Units") with a face value of $50 per unit. Based upon the elections of such holders, 1,426,392.666 Series B Preferred Units were issued and the holders of the remaining common units of limited partnership interest of PDC received approximately $23.6 million in cash. The Series B Preferred Units may be converted into common units of limited partnership in GGPLP at a conversion price of $50 per unit. The Series B Preferred Units have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The cash portion of the acquisition price was funded from substantially all of the proceeds from approximately $117 million in mortgage loans (on loans from UBS Warburg Real Estate Investments, Inc. and Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB collateralized by the Crossroads Center and Eden Prairie Mall, respectively) and a $350 million acquisition loan from a syndicate of commercial banks led by Dresdner Bank AG and Bank of America, N.A. JP Realty owned or had an interest in 51 properties, which consisted of eighteen (18) enclosed regional malls, twenty-six (26) anchored community centers, one (1) free-standing retail property and six (6) mixed-use commercial/business properties, containing an aggregate of over 15.2 million square feet of Gross Leasable Area in 10 western states. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. (c) For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section IV, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting rights and powers or the right to receive notice of meetings and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. V. Dividends. (a) The holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends and subject to the right to payment of holders of Capital Stock ranking senior to or on 4 parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, quarterly cumulative cash dividends in an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to 8.95% of the $1,000 liquidation preference thereof per annum (or $22.375 per quarter). Dividends on the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative and shall accrue from and after the date of issuance thereof (the "Series B Initial Issuance Date"), whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends. Dividends on the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable in arrears quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board, on the fifteenth day of each January, April, July and October or, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, beginning on the first such date following the Initial Series B Issuance Date (each, a "Dividend Payment Date"). Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to holders of record of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, as such holders appear in the stock records of the Company at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the first day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or such other date designated by the Board for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a "Dividend Record Date"). Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Series B Preferred Stock for each full Dividend Period shall equal the quotient of 8.95% of the $1,000 liquidation preference thereof divided by four (or $22.375). The amount of dividends payable for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period, on the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be prorated and computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as provided in this Section V, on the Series B Preferred Stock. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are authorized. (d) Except as provided in Section V(e) herein, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than in Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company ranking, as to payment of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, on a parity with or junior to the Series B 5 Preferred Stock, for any period nor shall any Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Capital Stock) by the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or by redemptions for the purpose of maintaining the Company's qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series B Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the dividend payment date for such other class or series of capital stock or the date of such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, as the case may be. (e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart for such payment) upon the Series B Preferred Stock and any other Capital Stock ranking on a parity as to payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series B Preferred Stock and any other Capital Stock ranking on a parity as to payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series B Preferred Stock and such other Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and such other Capital Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. VI. Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and subject to the rights of holders of Capital Stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Common Stock or any other Capital Stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders remaining after payment or provisions for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets of the Company, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to payment of amounts upon the liquidation, 6 dissolution or winding-up of the Company, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such other stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section VI, none of (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, (ii) a merger of another entity with or into the Company, (iii) a statutory share exchange by the Company or (iv) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, properties or business shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. (b) Written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Company. (c) After payment of the full amount of liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. VII. Redemption. (a) General. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not redeemable prior to May 25, 2005. To ensure that the Company remains a qualified REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, however, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which Series B Preferred Stock owned by a stockholder (i) in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit or (ii) that would cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") shall automatically be transferred to a Trust (as defined in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation) and the Company shall have the right to purchase such shares, as provided in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph (a). (b) Cash Redemption Right. On and after May 25, 2005, the Company, at its option, upon giving notice as provided below, may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at the redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock of $1,000, plus, in each case, all dividends accumulated and unpaid on such Series B Preferred Stock to the date of such redemption (the "Redemption Right"). (c) Limitations on Redemption. (i) If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Right, the shares to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot. If such redemption is to be by lot and, as a result of such redemption, (i) any holder of Series B Preferred Stock would become a holder of a number of shares of Series B 7 Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit or (ii) the Company would become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code because such holder's Series B Preferred Stock were not redeemed, or were only redeemed in part, then, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will redeem the requisite number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock of such holder such that the holder of such shares (i) will not hold in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit subsequent to such redemption or (ii) will not cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date of redemption or purchase, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods, the Company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Company ranking, as to payment of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock (except by conversion into or exchange for Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and except for redemptions for the purposes of maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT). (iii) Immediately prior to any redemption of any Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends with respect thereto through the Redemption Date, unless a Redemption Date falls after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares on or prior to such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Company will make no payment, or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series B Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption has been given. (d) Procedures for Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption pursuant to the Redemption Right shall be mailed, not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, notifying such holder of the Company's election to redeem such shares. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage 8 prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Company, or by publication in The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times, or, if neither such newspaper is then being published, any other daily newspaper of national circulation. If the Company elects to provide such notice by publication, it shall also promptly mail notice of such redemption to holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof, to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of notice or the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to any other holder. (ii) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series B Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the cash redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder (and, if fewer than all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed from such holder, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder), (iv) the place or places where certificates for shares of such Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price in cash and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date. (iii) On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender the certificates representing his Series B Preferred Stock to the Company at the place designated in the notice of redemption and thereupon the redemption price of such shares shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. (iv) From and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company fails to make available an amount in cash necessary to effect such redemption), all dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption in such notice shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except the right to receive the redemption price (including all accumulated and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date), shall cease and terminate and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Company) on the Company's books, all rights of the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption) and such shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Company's obligation to provide cash in accordance with this Section VII shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Redemption Date, the Company elects to deposit the cash necessary for redemption of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called with a bank or trust company that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of 9 Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Company. Any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Company. If the Company elects to deposit the cash necessary for redemption with a bank or trust company, in accordance with this subsection (d)(iv), the redemption notice to holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall (i) state the date of such deposit, (ii) specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of redemption and (iii) require such holders to surrender the certificates representing such shares at such place on or about the date fixed in such redemption notice (which may not be later than the Redemption Date) against payment of the redemption price (including all accumulated and unpaid dividends to the Redemption Date). (e) Status of Redeemed Shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section III, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board. VIII. Ownership Limitations. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are subject to the restrictions on transferability and ownership provisions described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. The ownership limit as described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Ownership Limit") shall mean that ownership of more than 7.5% of the value of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company, including the Series B Preferred Stock, is restricted in order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to certain limitations described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may modify the Ownership Limit, though the Ownership Limit may not be increased by the Board to more than 9.8%. In addition, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation limits the ownership of "Existing Holders" (the "Existing Holder Limit") and also limits transfers that would cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions hereof shall not limit or prohibit the purchase by the Company of shares of any class or series of Capital Stock pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. 5. The aforesaid Certificate of Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware. 10 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, General Growth Properties, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights to be executed by its duly authorized Executive Vice President this 8th day of May, 2002.

The authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be 71,320. III. Rank The Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, shall be deemed to rank: (a) senior to all classes or series of Common Stock and to all Capital Stock of the Company the terms of which provide that such Capital Stock shall rank junior to the Series C Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock and each other series of Preferred Stock issued by the Company which does not provide by its express terms that it ranks junior in right of payment to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and (c) junior to any class or series of Capital Stock issued by the Company that ranks senior to the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with Section IV(d). IV. Voting (a) Holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as provided by applicable law and as described below in this Section IV. (b) If and whenever six quarterly dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, whether or not earned or declared, shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full) (a "Preferred Dividend Default"), the number of directors then constituting the Board shall be increased by two and the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (voting separately as a single class (regardless of series) with all other Capital Stock of the Company upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable ("Parity Preferred Stock")) shall be entitled to elect two additional directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors") to serve on the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current Dividend Period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages in six quarterly dividends), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of the Board shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred Stock, the secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Series C Preferred Stock (addressed to the secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and of the Parity Preferred Stock for the election of the two directors to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to 3 that provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation for a special meeting of the stockholders 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 shares of Series C Preferred Stock 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 stockholders or special meeting held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. (c) So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if there is no such remaining director, by the holders of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock and the other series of Parity Preferred Stock voting as a single class. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed only for cause and only by the holders of record of seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock voting separately as a class with all other series of Parity Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter. (d) So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a class), (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of shares of Capital Stock ranking prior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or reclassify any authorized shares of Capital Stock of the Company into such Capital Stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible or exchangeable into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Capital Stock; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations, whether by merger or consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock or the holders thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the following shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect any such right, preference, privilege or voting power or otherwise require the vote or consent of the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock: (X) the occurrence of any Event so long as either (1) the Company is the surviving entity and the Series C Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or (2) interests in an entity having substantially the same rights and terms as the Series C Preferred Stock are substituted for the Series C Preferred Stock, (Y) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or Common Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock or any increase in the amount of authorized or issued Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and (Z) the dissolution, liquidation and/or winding up of the Company. (e) For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section IV, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other series of preferred stock shall have the right to vote with the Series C Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, 4 then the Series C Preferred Stock and such other series shall have with respect to such matters one (1) vote per $25.00 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. V. Dividends (a) With respect to each Dividend Period and subject to the rights of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of assets of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, quarterly cumulative cash dividends in an amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $21.25 and (ii) the amount of the regular quarterly cash dividends for such Dividend Period upon the number of shares of Common Stock (or portion thereof) into which such Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible in accordance with Section VII hereof (but, with respect to any Dividend Period ending after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date, no amount shall be paid in respect of clause (ii) of this paragraph in respect of the portion of such Dividend Period occurring after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of dividends described under each of clause (i) and (ii) of this paragraph for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be prorated and computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock for each Dividend Period shall, if and to the extent declared or authorized by the Board, be paid in arrears (without interest or other amount) on the Dividend Payment Date with respect thereto, and, if not paid on such date, shall accumulate, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such dividends are declared or authorized. The record date for dividends to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period shall be the same as the record date for the dividends to the holders of shares of Common Stock for such Dividend Period (or, if no such record is set for the Common Stock, the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls). Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board. Any dividend payment made on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be owing or payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series C Preferred Stock, whether or not in arrears. (b) No dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall accumulate whether or not any of the foregoing restrictions exist 5 (c) Except as provided in subsection V(d) herein, so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) no dividends (other than in Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company ranking, as to payment of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Stock, for any period and (ii) no Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Capital Stock) by the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other Capital Stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or by redemptions for the purpose of maintaining the Company's qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the dividend payment date for the Common Stock or such other class or series of Capital Stock or the date of such redemption, purchase or other acquisition. (d) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart for such payment) upon the Series C Preferred Stock and any other Capital Stock ranking on a parity as to payment of dividends with the Series C Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series C Preferred Stock and any other Capital Stock ranking on a parity as to payment of dividends with the Series C Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series C Preferred Stock and such other Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series C Preferred Stock and such other Capital Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. (e) The holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends as described in V(a) above. VI. Liquidation Preference (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Common Stock or any other Capital Stock ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to each such share, be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company, an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of 6 final distribution and (ii) the amount that a holder of such share of Series C Preferred Stock would have received upon final distribution in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such date of final distribution (but no amount shall be paid in respect of the foregoing clause (ii) after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date). If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets of the Company, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to payment of dividends and amounts upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and such other stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section VI, none of (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, (ii) a merger of another entity with or into the Company, (iii) a statutory share exchange by the Company or (iv) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, properties or business shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. (b) Written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series C Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Company. (c) After payment of the full amount of liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. VII. Conversion. Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock, as follows: (a) A holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time (subject to the proviso contained in the immediately succeeding sentence), to convert any whole number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the $1,000 face amount per each share of Series C Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the end of the last Dividend Period ending prior to the conversion (but without duplication of the dividends, if any, which the holder of such share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive for such last Dividend Period pursuant to the third paragraph of Section VII (b) hereof or in respect of the shares of Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred Stock is converted) by (ii) a conversion price of $50 per share of Common Stock (equivalent to an initial anticipated conversion rate of 20 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock), subject to adjustment as described in Section VII(c) hereof (the "Conversion Price"); provided, however, that the right to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock 7 may not be exercised after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon any conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Instead, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. (b) To exercise the conversion right, the holder of each share of Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the principal office of the Company accompanied by a written notice to the Company (the "Conversion Notice") indicating that the holder thereof elects to convert such share of Series C Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Series C Preferred Stock is registered, each share of Series C Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Series C Preferred Stock and delivery of the Conversion Notice as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on the holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section VII. In addition, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates evidencing any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were evidenced by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Company in connection with such conversion but that were not converted. A holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the close of business on the record date for any Dividend Period shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock following such record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date and shall have no right to receive any dividend for such Dividend Period in respect of the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted. Except as provided herein, the Company shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares of Series C Preferred Stock or for dividends on the shares of Common Stock that are issued upon such conversion. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and the Conversion Notice is received by the Company as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such shares at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time and on such date unless the transfer books of the Company shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares have been surrendered and such notice received by the Company. 8 (c) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Company shall, after the date on which any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are first issued (the "Issue Date"), (A) pay or make a dividend to holders of its Common Stock in Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or at the opening of business on the day next following the day on which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective, as the case may be, shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Series C Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such share of Series C Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in subsection (g) below) in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. (ii) If the Company shall issue after the Issue Date rights, options or warrants to all holders of shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day next following such record date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for shares of Common Stock would purchase at such Fair Market Value, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided in subsection (g) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company upon issuance and upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of the Company. (iii) If the Company shall distribute after the Issue Date to all holders of shares of Common Stock any other securities or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding those rights, options and warrants referred to in and treated under subsection (ii) above, and excluding 9 dividends paid exclusively in cash) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this subsection (iii) called the "Securities"), then in each case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of the Company) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date mentioned below. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the opening of business on the business day next following (except as provided in subsection (g) below) the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. For the purposes of this subsection (iii), a dividend in the form of a Security, which is distributed not only to the holders of the shares of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of such Security, but also is distributed with each share of Common Stock delivered to a person converting a share of Series C Preferred Stock after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection (iii); provided that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a share of Series C Preferred Stock would no longer be entitled to receive such Security with a share of Common Stock, a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this subsection (iii) (and such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend" and "the record date" within the meaning of the two preceding sentences). (iv) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subsection (iv) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section VII (other than this subsection (iv)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a dividend to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section VII, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price for the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under such plan. All calculations under this Section VII shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this subsection (c), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any Capital Stock dividend, subdivision of Capital Stock, reclassification or combination of Capital Stock, distribution of rights, options or warrants to purchase Capital Stock or securities, or a distribution consisting of other assets (other than cash distributions) hereafter made by the Company to its holders of Capital Stock shall not be taxable but any such adjustment shall not adversely affect the value of the Series C Preferred Stock. 10 (d) If the Company shall be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or recapitalization of the Common Stock and excluding any transaction as to which subsection (c)(i) of this Section VII applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive shares, stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Series C Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive shares, stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares, stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction, assuming such holder of Common Stock is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. The Company shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this subsection (d), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Company has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction (with the holder having the option to elect the type of consideration if a choice is offered in the Transaction). The provisions of this subsection (d) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (e) If: (i) the Company shall declare a dividend on the shares of Common Stock (other than a cash dividend) or there shall be a reclassification, subdivision or combination of Common Stock; or (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of the shares of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any Capital Stock of any class or any other rights, options or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or a statutory share exchange involving the conversion or exchange of shares of Common Stock into securities or other property, or a self tender offer by the Company for all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, 11 then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the records of the Company, as promptly as possible a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution of rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such distribution of rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section VII. (f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the records of the Company. (g) In any case in which subsection (c) of this Section VII provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the date next following the record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any share of Series C Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment. (h) For purposes of this Section VII, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Company. The Company shall not make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. (i) If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section VII, only one adjustment shall be made, and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value. (j) If the Company shall take any action affecting the shares of Common Stock, other than action described in this Section VII, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Company, determines to be equitable in the circumstances. (k) The Company covenants that shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state 12 laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof, by any governmental authority. (l) The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid. (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the provisions of Section VII (n) hereof), the Company agrees that it will apply the adjustment provisions of this Section VII and any related provisions as if the Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of July 10, 2002. Thus, for example, if an event were to occur on December 31, 2002 that would adjust the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock would have been convertible had such shares of Series C Preferred Stock been outstanding as of such date, but the Series C Preferred Stock were not actually issued until December 31, 2003, then such adjustment would be applied so that, upon such issuance (but subject to further adjustment for subsequent events), the Series C Preferred Stock would be immediately convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock would have been convertible had such shares of Series C Preferred Stock been outstanding on December 31, 2002. (n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the adjustment provisions contained in this Section VII shall be applied so that there is no duplication of adjustments made pursuant to any other document. VIII. Ownership Limitations The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are subject to the restrictions on transferability and ownership provisions described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. The ownership limit as described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Ownership Limit") shall mean that ownership of more than 7.5% of the value of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company, including the Series C Preferred Stock, is restricted in order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to certain limitations described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may modify the Ownership Limit, though the Ownership Limit may not be increased by the Board to more than 9.8%. In addition, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation limits the ownership of "Existing Holders" (the "Existing Holder Limit") and also limits transfers that would cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. 13 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Designations to be executed in its name and on its behalf by its Executive Vice President and attested to by its Secretary on this 10th day of July, 2002.

PURSUANT TO SECTION 151 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE General Growth Properties, Inc., a Delaware company (the "Company"), hereby certifies that pursuant to the authority contained in Article IV of its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and in accordance with Section 151 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), its Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), on June 28, 2002, adopted the following resolution creating a series of its preferred stock, par value $100 per share, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, designated as the "8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D"; WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized, within limitations and restrictions stated in its Certificate of Incorporation, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock in series and to establish the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof; and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of the preferred stock to be designated the "8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D" and the number of shares constituting such preferred stock. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that there is hereby authorized the "8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D" on the terms and with the provisions herein set forth. Section 1. Designation and Number. A series of preferred stock, designated the "8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D" (the "Series D Preferred Stock") is hereby established. The number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be 12,750. Section 2. Rank. The Series D Preferred Stock will, with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, or both, rank senior to all classes or series of Common Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and to all classes or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding, other than any class or series of equity securities of the Company expressly designated as ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, the term "Parity Preferred Stock" shall be used to refer to the 7.25% Preferred Income Equity Redeemable Stock, Series A, the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B, the 8.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C, the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series E, the 8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series F, the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series G, and any class or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the Company to rank on a parity with Series D Preferred Stock with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company or both, as the context may require. The term "equity securities" does not include debt securities. Section 3. Distributions. (a) Payment of Distributions. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth herein: (i) "Liquidation Preference" shall mean, with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid Series D Priority Return (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such share, whether or not declared, to the date of payment and (ii) "Series D Priority Return" shall mean an amount equal to 8.75% per annum of the Liquidation Preference per share of Series D Preferred Stock, commencing on the date of issuance of such share of Series D Preferred Stock, determined on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (or actual days for any month which is shorter than a full monthly period), cumulative to the extent not distributed on any Series D Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock as to the payment of distributions, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, the Series D Priority Return. Such distributions shall be cumulative, shall accrue from the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series D Preferred Stock and will be payable (A) quarterly (such quarterly periods for purposes of payment and accrual will be the quarterly periods ending on the last day of each calendar quarter) in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series D Preferred Stock and, (B) in the event of a redemption, on the redemption date (each a "Series D Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date"). If any Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the distribution to be made on such date shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding such Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock will be made to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on the relevant record dates to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which record dates shall in no event exceed 15 Business Days prior to the relevant Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date (each a "Distribution Record Date"). The term "Business Day" shall mean each day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. (b) Prohibition on Distributions. No distributions on Series D Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at any such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment -2- or provides that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or to the extent that such authorization or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. (c) Distributions Cumulative. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized or declared. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable. Distributions on account of arrears for any past distribution periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to a regular Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date to holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors which date shall not be more than 15 Business Days prior to the payment date. Accumulated and unpaid distributions will not bear interest. (d) Priority as to Distributions. (i) So long as any Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Common Stock or any class or series of other stock of the Company ranking junior as to the payment of distributions or rights upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership to the Series D Preferred Stock (such Common Stock or other junior stock, collectively, "Junior Stock"), nor shall any cash or other property be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for consideration of any Series D Preferred Stock, any Parity Preferred Stock or any Junior Stock, unless, in each case, all distributions accumulated on all Series D Preferred Stock and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in full. The foregoing sentence shall not prohibit (A) distributions payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) the conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Preferred Stock into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to distributions, and (C) purchase by the Company of such Series D Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation to the extent required to preserve the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. (ii) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not irrevocably deposited in trust for payment) upon the Series D Preferred Stock, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series D Preferred Stock and all classes or series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock with respect to distributions shall be authorized and declared so that the amount of distributions authorized and declared per share of Series D Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods for any such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock which does not have cumulative distribution rights) bear to each other. -3- (e) If, for any taxable year, the Company elects to designate as "capital gains distributions" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor revenue code or section (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 Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Distributions. (f) No Further Rights. Holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein. Section 4. Liquidation Preference. (a) Payment of Liquidating Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and subject to equity securities ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution or the proceeds thereof, after payment or provision for debts and other liabilities of the Company, but before any payment or distributions of the assets shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of the Company that ranks junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference per share of Series D Preferred Stock. If upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of liquidating distributions to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, all payments of liquidating distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall be made so that the payments on the Series D Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the respective rights of the Series D Preferred Stock and such other Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company bear to each other. (b) Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by (i) fax and (ii) first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series D Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Company. -4- (c) No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. (d) Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. The voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company to, or the consolidation or merger or other business combination of the Company with or into, any corporation, trust or other entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with or into the Company) or a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. Section 5. Optional Redemption. (a) Right of Optional Redemption. The Series D Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to April 23, 2004. On or after such date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole (but not in part), at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the Liquidation Preference (the "Series D Redemption Price") to the date of redemption. (b) Limitation On Redemption. The redemption price of the Series D Preferred Stock (other than the portion thereof consisting of accumulated but unpaid distributions) will be payable solely out of the sale proceeds of equity securities of the Company and from no other source. (c) Procedures For Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be (A) faxed, and (B) mailed by the Company, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the transfer records of the Company. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series D Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series D Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each such notice shall state: (u) the redemption date, (v) the redemption price, (w) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (x) the place or places where such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (y) that distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (z) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series D Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. (ii) If the Company gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series D Preferred Stock (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on -5- the redemption date, the Company will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Series D Redemption Price, and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Series D Redemption Price to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed upon surrender of the certificate evidencing the Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed by such holders at the place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series D Preferred Stock called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series D Preferred Stock is not a Business Day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Series D Redemption Price or any accumulated or unpaid distributions in respect of the Series D Preferred Stock is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Company, distributions on such Series D Preferred Stock will continue to accumulate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Series D Redemption Price. (d) Status of Redeemed or Repurchased Stock. Any Series D Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed or repurchased shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular class or series by the Board of Directors. Section 6. Voting Rights. (a) General. Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below. (b) Right To Elect Directors. (i) If at any time distributions shall be in arrears with respect to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods (including quarterly periods on the Series A Preferred Units of Price Development Company, Limited Partnership ("Series A Preferred Units") prior to the exchange into Series D Preferred Stock), whether or not consecutive, and shall not have been paid in full (a "Preferred Distribution Default"), the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of record of such Series D Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, will be entitled to fill the vacancies so created by electing two additional directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors") at a special meeting called in accordance with Section 6(b)(ii) hereof and at the next annual meeting of stockholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, until all such distributions in arrears and distributions for the current quarterly period on the Series D Preferred Stock and each such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in full. -6- (ii) At any time when such voting rights shall have vested, a proper officer of the Company may, and, upon written request (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Company) of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, shall, call or cause to be called a special meeting of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and all the series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (collectively, the "Parity Securities") by notice in accordance with the By-laws of the Company for a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company or as required by law to such holders a notice of such special meeting to be held not less than ten and not more than 45 days after the date such notice is given. The record date for determining holders of the Parity Securities entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting will be the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such special meeting, all of the holders of the Parity Securities, by plurality vote, voting together as a single class without regard to series will be entitled to elect two directors on the basis of one vote per $25 of liquidation preference to which such Parity Securities are entitled by their terms (excluding amounts in respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and not cumulatively. The holder or holders of one-third of the votes of the Parity Securities then outstanding, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors except as otherwise provided by law. Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the transfer records. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, the holders of a majority of the Parity Securities present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Distribution Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting. (iii) If and when all accumulated distributions and the distribution for the current distribution period on the Series D Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is irrevocably deposited in trust for payment, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be divested of the voting rights set forth in Section 6(b)(i) herein (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Distribution Default) and, if all distributions in arrears and the distributions for the current distribution period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the term and office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class (and shall not otherwise be removed). So long as a Preferred Distribution Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter. -7- (c) Certain Voting Rights. So long as any Series D Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Units exchangeable into Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding at the time (i) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, (ii) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Parity Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, but only to the extent such Parity Preferred Stock is issued to an affiliate of the Company, or (iii) either (A) consolidate, merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety, to any corporation or other entity, or (B) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in each case that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series D Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of a merger, consolidation or a sale or lease of all of the Company's assets as an entirety, so long as (y) the Company is the surviving entity and the Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (z) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation organized under the laws of any state and substitutes for the Series D Preferred Stock other preferred stock having substantially the same terms and same rights as the Series D Preferred Stock, including with respect to distributions, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock; and provided, further, that any increase in the amount of authorized preferred stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of preferred stock, or any increase in an amount of authorized shares of each class or series, in each case ranking either (I) junior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or (II) on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the extent such preferred stock is not issued to an affiliate of the Company, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. Section 7. No Conversion Rights.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that there is hereby authorized the "8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series E" on the terms and with the provisions herein set forth. Section 1. Designation and Number. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Series E Preferred Stock") is hereby established. The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be 95,000. Section 2. Rank. The Series E Preferred Stock will, with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, rank senior to all classes or series of Common Stock(as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and to all classes or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding, other than any class or series of equity securities of the Company expressly designated as ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, the term "Parity Preferred Stock" shall be used to refer to the 7.25% Preferred Income Equity Redeemable Stock, Series A, the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B, the 8.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C, the 8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D, the 8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series F, the 8.95% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series G, and any class or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the Company to rank on a parity with Series E Preferred Stock with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. The term "equity securities" does not include debt securities. Section 3. Distributions. (a) Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock as to the payment of distributions and holders of equity securities ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to payment of distributions, holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate per annum of 8.95% of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series E Preferred Stock. Such distributions shall be cumulative, shall accrue from the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series E Preferred Stock and will be payable (i) quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series E Preferred Stock, and (ii) in the event of a redemption, on the redemption date (each, a "Series E Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date"). The amount of the distribution payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full quarterly period for which distributions are computed, the amount of the distribution payable will be computed based on the ratio of the actual number of days elapsed in such period to ninety (90) days. If any date on which distributions are to be made on the Series E Preferred Stock is not a Business Day (as defined herein), then payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock will be made to the holders of record of the Series E Preferred Stock on the relevant record dates, to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which record dates shall in no event exceed fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the relevant Series E Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date (each, a "Series E Preferred Stock Distribution Record Date"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall also continue to accrue all accrued and unpaid distributions up to the exchange date on any Series B Preferred Unit (as defined in the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Price Development Company, Limited Partnership, dated as of July 15, 1999, as amended through the date hereof (the "Partnership Agreement")) validly exchanged into such share of Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of such Partnership Agreement. The term "Business Day" shall mean each day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. -2- (b) Limitation On Distributions. No distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to 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. (c) Distributions Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to indebtedness, at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized or declared. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Series E Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable. Distributions on account of arrears for any past distribution periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to a regular Series E Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date to holders of record of the Series E Preferred Stock on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors which date shall not be more than 15 Business Days prior to the payment date. Accumulated and unpaid distributions will not bear interest. (d) Priority As To Distributions. (i) So long as any Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Common Stock or any class or series of other stock of the Company ranking junior as to the payment of distributions or as to rights upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Partnership to the Series E Preferred Stock (such Common Stock or other junior stock are, collectively, "Junior Stock"), nor shall any cash or other property be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for consideration of any Series E Preferred Stock, any Parity Preferred Stock or any Junior Stock, unless, in each case, all distributions accumulated on all Series E Preferred Stock and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock as to payment of distributions have been paid in full. The foregoing sentence will not prohibit (A) distributions payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) the conversion of Junior Stock or Parity Preferred Stock into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to distributions and upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, and (C) purchase by the Company of such Series E Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock with respect to distributions or Junior Stock pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation to the extent required to preserve the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. (ii) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not irrevocably deposited in trust for payment) upon the Series E Preferred Stock, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series E Preferred Stock and all classes or series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock shall be authorized and declared so that the amount of distributions authorized and declared per share of Series E Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same -3- ratio that accrued distributions per share on the Series E Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods for any such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock which does not have cumulative distribution rights) bear to each other. (e) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as "capital gain distributions" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor revenue code or section (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 Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Distributions. (f) No Further Rights. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein. Section 4. Liquidation Preference. (a) Payment Of Liquidating Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and subject to equity securities ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution or the proceeds thereof, after payment or provision for debts and other liabilities of the Company, but before any payment or distributions of the assets shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of the Company that ranks junior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, an amount equal to the sum of (i) a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series E Preferred Stock, and (ii) an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of payment. In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of liquidating distributions to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, all payments of liquidating distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall be made so that the payments on the Series E Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the respective rights of the Series E Preferred Stock and such other Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company bear to each other. (b) Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given -4- by (i) fax and (ii) first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than thirty (30) and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series E Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Company. (c) No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. (d) Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. The voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company to, or the consolidation or merger or other business combination of the Company with or into, any corporation, trust or other entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with or into the Company), or a statutory share exchange, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. Section 5. Optional Redemption. (a) Right Of Optional Redemption. The Series E Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to July 28, 2004. On or after such date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to $1,000 per share of Series E Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid distributions, whether or not declared, to the date of redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata among the holders (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional units). (b) Limitation On Redemption. (i) The redemption price of the Series E Preferred Stock (other than the portion thereof consisting of accumulated but unpaid distributions) will be payable solely out of the sale proceeds of capital stock of the Company and from no other source. For purposes of the preceding sentence, capital stock means any equity securities (including Common Stock and preferred stock), shares, 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. (ii) Subject to the Ownership Limits, the Company may not redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock unless all accumulated and unpaid distributions have been paid on all outstanding Series E Preferred Stock for all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. (c) Procedures For Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be (A) faxed, and (B) mailed by the Company, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the -5- redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the transfer records of the Company. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series E Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series E Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each such notice shall state: (u) the redemption date, (v) the redemption price, (w) the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (x) the place or places where such shares of Series E Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (y) that distributions on the Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (z) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series E Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. (ii) If the Company gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series E Preferred Stock (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series E Preferred Stock being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price, plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions, if any, on such shares to the date fixed for redemption, without interest, and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions, whether or not declared, if any, on such shares to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock being redeemed upon surrender of the certificate evidencing the Series E Preferred Stock being redeemed by such holders at the place designated in the notice of redemption. If fewer than all shares of Series E Preferred Stock evidenced by any certificate are being redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued upon surrender of the certificate evidencing all such Series E Preferred Stock, which new certificate shall evidence the unredeemed Series E Preferred Stock and be issued without cost to the holder thereof. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series E Preferred Stock or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series E Preferred Stock is not a Business Day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the redemption price or any accumulated or unpaid distributions in respect of the Series E Preferred Stock is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Company, distributions on such Series E Preferred Stock will continue to accumulate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions. (d) Status of Redeemed or Repurchased Stock. Any Series E Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed or repurchased shall, after such redemption or repurchase, have the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular class or series by the Board of Directors. -6- Section 6. Voting Rights. (a) General. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below. (b) Right to Elect Directors. (i) If at any time full distributions shall be in arrears with respect to any six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive, and shall not have been paid in full (a "Preferred Distribution Default"), the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be increased by two (2) and the holders of record of such Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, will be entitled to fill the vacancies so created by electing two additional directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors") at a special meeting called in accordance with Section 6(b)(ii) hereof and at the next annual meeting of stockholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, until all such distributions in arrears and distributions for the current quarterly period on the Series E Preferred Stock and each such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in full. (ii) At any time when such voting rights shall have vested, a proper officer of the Company may, and, upon written request (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Company) of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding Shares of Series E Preferred Stock, shall, call or cause to be called a special meeting of the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and all the series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (collectively, the "Parity Securities") by notice in accordance with the By-Laws of the Company for a special meeting of the stockholders or as required by law to such holders a notice of such special meeting to be held not less than ten (10) and not more than forty-five (45) days after the date such notice is given. The record date for determining holders of the Parity Securities entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting will be the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such special meeting, all of the holders of the Parity Securities, by plurality vote, voting together as a single class without regard to series will be entitled to elect two directors on the basis of one vote per $25 of liquidation preference to which such Parity Securities are entitled by their terms (excluding amounts in respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and not cumulatively. The holder or holders of one-third of the votes of the Parity Securities then outstanding, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors except as otherwise provided by law. Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the transfer records. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, the holders of a majority of the Parity Securities present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Distribution Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, -7- mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Series E Preferred Stock that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting. (iii) If and when all accumulated distributions and the distribution for the current distribution period on the Series E Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is irrevocably deposited in trust for payment, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be divested of the voting rights set forth in Section 6(b)(i) herein (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Distribution Default) and, if all distributions in arrears and the distributions for the current distribution period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the term and office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class (and shall not otherwise be removed). So long as a Preferred Distribution Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter. (c) Certain Voting Rights. So long as any Series E Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series E Preferred Stock outstanding at the time (i) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, (ii) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Parity Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, but only to the extent such Parity Preferred Stock is issued to an affiliate of the Company, or (iii) either (A) consolidate, merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety, to any corporation or other entity, or (B) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in each case that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series E Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of a merger, consolidation or a sale or lease of all of the Company's assets as an entirety, so long as (y) the Company is the surviving entity and the Series E Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (z) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation organized under the laws of any state and substitutes for the Series E Preferred Stock other preferred stock having substantially the same terms and same rights as the Series E Preferred Stock, including with respect to distributions, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock; and provided further that any increase in the amount of -8- authorized preferred stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of preferred stock, or any increase in an amount of authorized shares of each class or series, in each case ranking either (I) junior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or (II) on a parity with the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the extent such preferred stock is not issued to an affiliate of the Company, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. Section 7. No Conversion Rights. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into shares of any other class or series of stock or into any other securities of, or interest in, the Company. Section 8. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of Series E Preferred Stock. Section 9. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series E Preferred Stock of the Company shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for additional shares of stock of the Company or any other security of the Company which it may issue or sell. Section 10. Ownership Limitations. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock are subject to the restrictions on transferability and ownership provisions described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. The ownership limit as described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Ownership Limit") shall mean the ownership of more than 7.5% of the value of the outstanding shares of equity securities of the Company, including the Series E Preferred Stock, is restricted in order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to certain limitations described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may modify the Ownership Limit, though the Ownership Limit may not be increased by the Board to more than 9.8%. In addition, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation limits the ownership of "Existing Holders" and also limits transfers that would cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions hereof shall not limit or prohibit the purchase by the Company of shares of any class or series of equity securities pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. -9- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Designations to be executed in its name and on its behalf and attested to by duly authorized officers on this 10th day of July, 2002.

Such distributions shall be cumulative, shall accrue from the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series F Preferred Stock and will be payable (A) quarterly (such quarterly periods for purposes of payment and accrual will be the quarterly periods ending on the last day of each calendar quarter) in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the original date of issuance of the relevant shares of Series F Preferred Stock and, (B) in the event of a redemption, on the redemption date (each a "Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date"). If any Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined herein), then payment of the distribution to be made on such date shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding such Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Distributions on the Series F Preferred Stock will be made to the holders of record of the Series F Preferred Stock on the relevant record dates to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which record dates shall in no event exceed 15 Business Days Prior to the relevant Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date (each a "Distribution Record Date"). The term "Business Day" shall mean each day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. (b) Prohibition On Distributions. No distributions on Series F Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company or paid or set apart for payment by -2- the Company at any such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or to the extent that such authorization or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. (c) Distributions Cumulative. Distributions on the Series F Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized or declared. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series F Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable. Distributions on account of arrears for any past distribution periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to a regular Series F Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date to holders of record of the Series F Preferred Stock on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors which date shall not be more than 15 Business Days prior to the payment date. Accumulated and unpaid distributions will not bear interest. (d) Priority As To Distributions. (i) So long as any Series F Preferred Stock is outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Common Stock or any class or series of other stock of the Company ranking junior as to the payment of distributions or rights upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership to the Series F Preferred Stock (such Common Stock or other junior stock, collectively, "Junior Stock"), nor shall any cash or other property be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for consideration of any Series F Preferred Stock, any Parity Preferred Stock or any Junior Stock, unless, in each case, all distributions accumulated on all Series F Preferred Stock and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in full. The foregoing sentence shall not prohibit (A) distributions payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) the conversion of Series F Preferred Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Preferred Stock into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series F Preferred Stock as to distributions, and (C) purchase by the Company of such Series F Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation to the extent required to preserve the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. (ii) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not irrevocably deposited in trust for payment) upon the Series F Preferred Stock, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series F Preferred Stock and all classes or series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock with respect to distributions shall be authorized and declared so that the amount of distributions authorized and declared per share of Series F Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per share on the Series F Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods for any -3- such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock which does not have cumulative distribution rights) bear to each other. (e) If, for any taxable year, the Company elects to designate as "capital gain[S] distributions" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor revenue code or section (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 Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Distributions. (f) No Further Rights. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein. Section 4. Liquidation Preference. (a) Payment Of Liquidating Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and subject to equity securities ranking senior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution or the proceeds thereof, after payment or provision for debts and other liabilities of the Company, but before any payment or distributions of the assets shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of shares of the Company that ranks junior to the Series F Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference per share of Series F Preferred Stock. If upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of liquidating distributions to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, all payments of liquidating distributions on the Series F Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall be made so that the payments on the Series F Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the respective rights of the Series F Preferred Stock and such other Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company bear to each other. (b) Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by (i) fax and (ii) first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series F Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Company. -4- (c) No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. (d) Consolidation, Merger Or Certain Other Transactions. The voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company to, or the consolidation or merger or other business combination of the Company with or into, any corporation, trust or other entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with or into the Company) or a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. Section 5. Optional Redemption. (a) Right Of Optional Redemption. The Series F Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to May 1, 2005. On or after such date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, in whole (but not in part), at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the Liquidation Preference (the "Series F Redemption Price") to the date of redemption. (b) Limitation On Redemption. The redemption price of the Series F Preferred Stock (other than the portion thereof consisting of accumulated but unpaid distributions) will be payable solely out of the sale proceeds of equity securities of the Company and from no other source. (c) Procedures For Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be (A) faxed, and (B) mailed by the Company, postage prepaid not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the transfer records of the Company. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series F Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series F Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each such notice shall state: (u) the redemption date, (v) the redemption price, (w) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (x) the place or places where such shares of Series F Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (y) that distributions on the Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (z) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series F Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. (ii) If the Company gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series F Preferred Stock (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on -5- the redemption date, the Company will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Series F Redemption Price, and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Series F Redemption Price to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed upon surrender of the certificate evidencing the Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed by such holders at the place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series F Preferred Stock called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series F Preferred Stock is not a Business Day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Series F Redemption Price or any accumulated or unpaid distributions in respect of the Series F Preferred Stock is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Company, distributions on such Series F Preferred Stock will continue to accumulate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Series F Redemption Price. (d) Status of Redeemed or Repurchased Stock. Any Series F Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed or repurchased shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular class or series by the Board of Directors. Section 6. Voting Rights. (a) General. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below. (b) Right To Elect Directors. (i) If at any time distributions shall be in arrears with respect to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods (including quarterly periods on the Series C Preferred Units of Price Development Company, Limited Partnership ("Series C Preferred Units") prior to the exchange into Series F Preferred Stock), whether or not consecutive, and shall not have been paid in full (a "Preferred Distribution Default"), the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of record of such Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, will be entitled to fill the vacancies so created by electing two additional directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors") at a special meeting called in accordance with Section 6(b)(ii) hereof and at the next annual meeting of stockholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, until all such distributions in arrears and distributions for the current quarterly period on the Series F Preferred Stock and each such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock have been paid in full. -6- (ii) At any time when such voting rights shall have vested, a proper officer of the Company may, and, upon written request (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Company) of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, shall, call or cause to be called a special meeting of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock and all the series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (collectively, the "Parity Securities") by notice in accordance with the By-laws of the Company for a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company or as required by law to such holders a notice of such special meeting to be held not less than ten and not more than 45 days after the date such notice is given. The record date for determining holders of the Parity Securities entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting will be the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such special meeting, all of the holders of the Parity Securities, by plurality vote, voting together as a single class without regard to series will be entitled to elect two directors on the basis of one vote per $25 of liquidation preference to which such Parity Securities are entitled by their terms (excluding amounts in respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and not cumulatively. The holder or holders of one-third of the votes of the Parity Securities then outstanding, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors except as otherwise provided by law. Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the transfer records. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, the holders of a majority of the Parity Securities present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Distribution Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Series F Preferred Stock that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting. (iii) If and when all accumulated distributions and the distribution for the current distribution period on the Series F Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is irrevocably deposited in trust for payment, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be divested of the voting rights set forth in Section 6(b)(i) herein (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Distribution Default) and, if all distributions in arrears and the distributions for the current distribution period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the term and office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class (and shall not otherwise be removed). So long as a Preferred Distribution Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Parity Securities entitled to vote on such matter voting together as a single class. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter. -7- (c) Certain Voting Rights. So long as any Series F Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Units exchangeable into Series F Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series F Preferred Stock outstanding at the time (i) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, (ii) designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Parity Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized shares of the Company into any such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, but only to the extent such Parity Preferred Stock is issued to an affiliate of the Company, or (iii) either (A) consolidate, merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety, to any corporation or other entity, or (B) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in each case that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series F Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of a merger, consolidation or a sale or lease of all of the Company's assets as an entirety, so long as (y) the Company is the surviving entity and the Series F Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (z) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation organized under the laws of any state and substitutes for the Series F Preferred Stock other preferred stock having substantially the same terms and same rights as the Series F Preferred Stock, including with respect to distributions, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock; and provided, further, that any increase in the amount of authorized preferred stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of preferred stock, or any increase in an amount of authorized shares of each class or series, in each case ranking either (I) junior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or (II) on a parity with the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the extent such preferred stock is not issued to an affiliate of the Company, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. Section 7. No Conversion Rights. The holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into shares of any other class or series of stock or into any other securities of, or interest in, the Company. Section 8. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of Series F Preferred Stock. Section 9. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series F Preferred Stock of the Company shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for additional shares of stock of the Company or any other security of the Company which it may issue or sell. -8- Section 10. Ownership Limitations. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock are subject to the restrictions on transferability and ownership provisions described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. The ownership limit as described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Ownership Limit") shall mean the ownership of more than 7.5% of the value of the outstanding shares of equity securities of the Company, including the Series F Preferred Stock, is restricted in order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to certain limitations described in Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may modify the Ownership Limit, though the Ownership Limit may not be increased by the Board of Directors to more than 9.8%. In addition, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation limits the ownership of "Existing Holders" and also limits transfers that would cause the Company to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions hereof shall not limit or prohibit the purchase by the Company of shares of any class or series of equity securities pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Designations to be executed in its name and on its behalf and attested to by duly authorized officers on this 10th day of July, 2002.

The term "Series B Preferred Unit Reallocated Amount" shall mean the difference between (I) the amount of Net Income allocable to the Common Units pursuant to subparagraph (a)(5) with respect to such fiscal year or other period, and (II) the product obtained by multiplying (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Units and the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Common Units into which the Series B Preferred Units are convertible plus the number of Common Units and (B) the sum of (i) Net Income allocable to the Series B Preferred Units pursuant to subparagraph (a)(4) with respect to such fiscal year or other period and (ii) the Net Income allocable to the Common Units pursuant to this subparagraph (a)(5) with respect to such fiscal year or other period; provided, however, that to the extent the allocation of the Series B Preferred Unit Reallocated Amount to the holders of Series B Preferred Units would cause such holders on a cumulative basis to have been allocated Net Income in excess of distributions, the Series B Preferred Unit Reallocated Amount shall be reduced by such excess. The Series B Preferred Unit Reallocated Amount shall be calculated based on the amounts of Net Income allocable pursuant to subparagraphs (a)(4) and (a)(5) prior to the application of the provisos contained in such subparagraphs with respect to such fiscal year or other period. It is the intention of the parties that the application of subparagraphs (a)(4) and (a)(5) above will result in corresponding return of capital distributions (per Unit) to the Series B Preferred Units (on an as-converted basis) and Common Units on a cumulative basis and shall be applied and interpreted consistently therewith. (b) Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated as follows: (1) First, to the holders of Common Units, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests provided that the Net Loss allocated to a holder of Common Units pursuant to this Section (b)(1) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Loss that can be allocated without causing a holder of Common Units to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (excluding for this purpose any increase to such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for a holder's actual obligation to fund a deficit Capital Account balance, C-2 including the obligation of an Obligated Partner to fund a deficit Capital Account Balance pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof and also excluding for this purpose the balance of such holder's Capital Account attributable to such holder's Preferred Units, if any); (2) Second, to the holders of Preferred Units in proportion to each such holder's Capital Account balance in such Preferred Units, provided that the Net Loss allocated to a holder of Preferred Units pursuant to this Section (b)(1) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Loss that can be allocated without causing any holder of Preferred Units to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (excluding for this purpose any increase to such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for a holder's actual obligation to fund a deficit Capital Account balance, including the obligation of an Obligated Partner to fund a deficit Capital Account Balance pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof); (3) Third, to the General Partner, until the General Partner's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (excluding for this purpose any increase to such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the obligation of the General Partner to actually fund a deficit Capital Account balance, including any deemed obligation pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-(1)(b)(2)(ii)(c)) equals the excess of (i) the amount of Recourse Liabilities over (ii) the Aggregate Protected Amount; (4) Fourth, to the Obligated Partners, in proportion to their respective Protected Amounts, until such time as the Obligated Partners have been allocated an aggregate amount of Net Loss pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(4) equal to the Aggregate Protected Amount; and (5) Thereafter, to the General Partner. 2. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit C, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order: (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year (except as a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions or revaluation of the Partnership property as further outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), (f)(2) or (f)(3)), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This paragraph (a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto. (b) Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of C-3 Partnership property as further outlined in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This paragraph (b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto. (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and such Limited Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This paragraph (c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (d) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the Partner Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1)). (e) Allocations With Respect to Preferred Unit Redemptions. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, Net Income of the Partnership shall be allocated to the holders of Preferred Units, at the time of redemption of such Preferred Units (other than in the case of a redemption occurring pursuant to a final liquidation of the Partnership), in an amount equal to the portion of any redemption distribution that exceeds the Liquidation Preference Amount (other than any accrued but unpaid distribution thereon) per Preferred Unit established for such Preferred Unit in the applicable Preferred Unit designation. The character of the items of Net Income allocated to the holders of Preferred Units pursuant to this subparagraph (e) shall proportionately reflect the relative amounts of the items of Partnership income and gain as determined for federal income tax purposes under Section 703(a) of the Code. (f) Tax Treatment of Conversion of Preferred Units. Upon conversion of a Preferred Unit(s) into Common Unit(s), the Company will specially allocate to the converting Partner any Net Income or Net Loss attributable to an adjustment of Gross Asset Values under subparagraph (b) of the definition of "Gross Asset Value" until the portion of such Partner's Capital Account attributable to each Common Unit received upon conversion equals the Capital Account attributable to a Common Unit at the time of conversion. To the extent that such allocation is insufficient to bring the portion of the Capital Account attributable to each Common Unit received upon conversion by the converting Partner to the Capital Account attributable to a Common Unit at the time of conversion, a portion of the Capital Account of the non-converting Partners will be shifted, pro rata in accordance with their relative Capital Account balances, to the converted Partner and such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the Converting Partner as a transaction defined in Section 721 of the Code. C-4 (g) Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the cumulative net amount of allocations of Partnership items under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Exhibit C shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This subparagraph (g) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. For purposes hereof, "Regulatory Allocations" shall mean the allocations provided under subparagraphs 2(a) through (d). 3. Tax Allocations. (a) Generally. Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) hereof, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners on the same basis as their respective book items. (b) Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the sale of property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), then (A) such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated and (B) other Tax Items of gain of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250, shall be allocated away from those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain pursuant to Clause (A) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are allocated the same amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been allocated to them had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied. For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and Net Loss for such respective period. (c) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations; Curative Allocations Resulting from the Ceiling Rule. Notwithstanding paragraph (b) hereof, Tax Items with respect to Partnership property that is subject to Code Section 704(c) and/or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (collectively "Section 704(c) Tax Items") shall be allocated in accordance with said Code section and/or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), as the case may be. The allocation of Tax Items shall be in accordance with the "traditional method" set forth in Treas. Reg. ss.1.704-3(b)(1), unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, and shall be subject to the ceiling rule stated in Regulation Section 1.704-3(b)(1). The General Partner is authorized to specially allocate Tax Items (other than Section 704(c) Tax Items) to cure for the effect of the ceiling rule. The intent of this Section 3(c) is that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the Partnership a partnership interest in an existing Property Partnership will bear, through reduced allocations of depreciation and increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments associated with any precontribution gain and this Section 3(c) shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. C-5 4. Allocations Upon Final Liquidation. With respect to the fiscal year in which the final liquidation of the Partnership occurs in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 1, 2, or 3 hereof, items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction shall be specially allocated to the Partners in such amounts and priorities as are necessary so that the positive capital accounts of the Partners shall, as closely as possible, equal the amounts that will be distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 7.2. C-6 EXHIBIT D OBLIGATED PARTNERS SEE ATTACHED D-1 SCHEDULE A 1. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below, unless the context otherwise requires: "Distribution Period" shall mean the quarterly period that is then the dividend period with respect to the Common Stock or, if no such dividend period is established, the calendar quarter shall be the Dividend Period; provided that (a) the initial distribution period shall commence on July 10, 2002 and end on and include September 30, 2002 and (b) the distribution period in which the final liquidation payment is made pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Second Restated Partnership Agreement shall commence on the first day following the immediately preceding Distribution Period and end on the date of such final liquidation payment. "Distribution Payment Date" shall mean, with respect to any Distribution Period, the payment date for the distribution declared by the General Partner on its shares of Common Stock for such Distribution Period or, if no such distribution payment date is established, the last business day of such Distribution Period. "Fair Market Value" shall mean the average of the daily Closing Price during the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the General Partner commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the day in question with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. "Fifteenth Anniversary Date" shall mean July 10, 2017. 2. DESIGNATION AND NUMBER; ETC. The Series B Preferred Units have been established and shall have such rights, preferences, limitations and qualifications as are described herein (in addition to the rights, preferences, limitations and qualifications contained in the Second Restated Partnership Agreement to the extent applicable). The authorized number of Series B Preferred Units shall be 1,426,392.6660. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Schedule A and any other provision of the Second Restated Partnership Agreement, the provisions of this Schedule A shall control. For purposes of this Amendment, the rights of the Series B Preferred Units shall be construed to include their rights under the Redemption Rights Agreement (Common Units) and Redemption Rights Agreement (Series B Preferred Units). 3. RANK. The Series B Preferred Units shall, with respect to the payment of distributions and the distribution of amounts upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, rank as follows: (a) senior to all classes or series of Common Units and to all Units the terms of which provide that such Units shall rank junior to such Series B Preferred Units; (b) on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units and each other series of Preferred Units issued by the Partnership which does not provide by its express terms that it ranks junior in right of payment to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and A-1 (c) junior to any class or series of Preferred Units issued by the Partnership that ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Units in accordance with Section 4 of this Schedule A. 4. VOTING. (a) Holders of Series B Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights, except as provided by applicable law and as described below in this Section 4. (b) So long as any Series B Preferred Units remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Units outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a class), (i) authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of partnership interests in the Partnership ranking prior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership or reclassify any Common Units into such partnership interests, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible or exchangeable into or evidencing the right to purchase any such partnership interests; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, whether by merger or consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Units or the holders thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the following shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect any such right, preference, privilege or voting power or otherwise require the vote or consent of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units: (X) the occurrence of any Event so long as either (1) the Partnership is the surviving entity, such entity is the principal direct subsidiary of a publicly traded REIT whose common equity is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Series B Preferred Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or (2) interests in an entity having substantially the same rights and terms as the Series B Preferred Units are substituted for the Series B Preferred Units and such entity is the principal direct subsidiary of a publicly traded REIT whose common equity is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, (Y) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Units or Common Units or the creation or issuance of any other series or class of Preferred Units or Common Units or any increase in the amount of Common Units or any other series of Preferred Units, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership and (Z) the dissolution, liquidation and/or winding up of the Partnership. The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding Series B Preferred Units shall have been converted or redeemed. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, each Series B Preferred Unit shall have one (1) vote. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Series B Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any action. A-2 5. DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) With respect to each Distribution Period and subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Units ranking senior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Units, the holders of Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the General Partner, out of assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions, quarterly cumulative cash distributions in an amount per Series B Preferred Unit equal to the greater of (i) $1.0625 and (ii) the amount of the regular quarterly cash distribution for such Distribution Period upon the number of Common Units (or portion thereof) into which such Series B Preferred Unit is then convertible in accordance with Section 7 of this Schedule A (but, with respect to any Distribution Period ending after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date, no amount shall be paid in respect of clause (ii) of this paragraph in respect of the portion of such Distribution Period occurring after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of distributions described under each of clause (i) and (ii) of this paragraph for the initial Distribution Period, or any other period shorter than a full Distribution Period, shall be prorated and computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The distributions upon the Series B Preferred Units for each Distribution Period shall, if and to the extent declared or authorized by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, be paid in arrears (without interest or other amount) on the Distribution Payment Date with respect thereto, and, if not paid on such date, shall accumulate, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are declared or authorized. The record date for distributions upon the Series B Preferred Units for any Distribution Period shall be the same as the record date for the distributions upon the Common Units for such Distribution Period (or, if no such record is set for the Common Units, the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Payment Date falls). Accumulated and unpaid distributions for any past Distribution Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Distribution Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the General Partner. Any distribution payment made upon the Series B Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid distributions due with respect to such Units which remains payable. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be owing or payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Units, whether or not in arrears, including, without limitation, any distribution payment that is deferred pursuant to Section 5(g) of this Schedule A. (b) No distribution on the Series B Preferred Units shall be declared by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series B Preferred Units shall accumulate whether or not any of the foregoing restrictions exist. (c) Except as provided in Section 5(d) of this Schedule A, so long as any Series B Preferred Units are outstanding, (i) no distributions (other than in Common Units or other Units ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to payment of distributions and amounts upon A-3 liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Units or any other class or series of partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking, as to payment of distributions or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Units, for any period and (ii) no Common Units or other Units ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units as to payment of distributions or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Units) by the Partnership (except by conversion into or exchange for other Units ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership or by redemptions pursuant to Rights Agreements) unless, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series B Preferred Units for all Distribution Periods ending on or prior to the distribution payment date for the Common Units or such other class or series of Unit or the date of such redemption, purchase or other acquisition. (d) When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart for such payment) upon the Series B Preferred Units and any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking on a parity as to payment of distributions with the Series B Preferred Units, all distributions declared upon the Series B Preferred Units and any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking on a parity as to payment of distributions with the Series B Preferred Units shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Unit of Series B Preferred Units and such other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per Unit on the Series B Preferred Units and such other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Units do not have cumulative distributions) bear to each other. (e) Holders of Series B Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, property or Units, in excess of the cumulative distributions described in Section 5(a) above. (f) Distributions with respect to the Series B Preferred Units are intended to qualify as permitted distributions of cash that are not treated as a disguised sale within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.707-4 and the provisions of this Schedule A shall be construed and applied consistently with such Treasury Regulations. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the last sentence of Section 5(a) hereof), if the distributions with respect to the Series B Preferred Units made on or prior to the second anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Units would result in any holder of Series B Preferred Units receiving an annual return on such holder's "unreturned capital" (as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(a)) for a fiscal year (treating the fiscal year in which such second anniversary occurs as ending on such date) in excess of the Safe Harbor Rate (as defined below), then the distributions to such holder A-4 in excess of such Safe Harbor Rate will be deferred, will cumulate and will be paid, if and to the extent declared or authorized by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof, on the earlier to occur of (i) the disposition of the Series B Preferred Units to which such deferred distributions relate in a transaction in which the disposing holder recognizes taxable gain thereon or (ii) the first distribution payment date with respect to the Series B Preferred Units following the second anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Units. For purposes of the foregoing, the "Safe Harbor Rate" shall equal 150% of the highest applicable federal rate, based on annual compounding, in effect for purposes of Section 1274(d) of the Code at any time between the date of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Units and the date on which the relevant distribution payment is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any distributions that are deferred under this Section 5(g) shall be deemed to have been paid in full for purposes of Sections 5(c) and (d) of this Schedule A until the end of the Distribution Period during which they are to be paid as provided above. (h) For any quarterly period, any amounts paid with respect to the Series B Preferred Units in excess of the amount that would have been paid with respect to such Units for such period had they been converted into Common Units in accordance with the terms of Section 7 of this Schedule A are intended to constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of allocating Net Income and Net Loss or otherwise maintaining Capital Accounts. 6. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Partnership (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Common Units or any other partnership interests in the Partnership or Units ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units shall, with respect to each such Unit, be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to Partners after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Partnership, an amount equal to the greater of (i) $50.00, plus an amount equal to all distributions (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution and (ii) the amount that a holder of such Series B Preferred Unit would have received upon final distribution in respect of the number of Common Units into which such Series B Preferred Unit was convertible immediately prior to such date of final distribution (but no amount shall be paid in respect of the foregoing clause (ii) after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date). If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Series B Preferred Units are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid on the Series B Preferred Units and liquidating payments on any other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership of any class or series ranking, as to payment of distributions and amounts upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series B Preferred Units and any such other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series B Preferred Units and such other Units or partnership interests in the Partnership if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the A-5 purposes of this Section 6, none of (i) a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, (ii) a merger of another entity with or into the Partnership or (iii) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, properties or business shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership. (b) Written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Units at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the transfer records of the Partnership. (c) After payment of the full amount of liquidating distributions to which they are entitled as provided in Section 6(a) of this Schedule A, the holders of Series B Preferred Units shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership. 7. CONVERSION. Holders of Series B Preferred Units shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such Units into Common Units, as follows: (a) A holder of Series B Preferred Units shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time (subject to the proviso contained in the immediately succeeding sentence), to convert any whole number of Series B Preferred Units, in whole or in part, into Common Units. Each Series B Preferred Unit shall be convertible into the number of Common Units determined by dividing (i) the $50 face amount per Unit, plus an amount equal to all distributions (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the end of the last Distribution Period (but without duplication of the distributions, if any, which the holder of such Series B Preferred Unit is entitled to receive for such last Distribution Period pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 7(b) of this Schedule A or in respect of the Common Units into which such Series B Preferred Unit is converted) by (ii) a conversion price of $50.00 per Common Unit (equivalent to an initial conversion rate of one Common Unit for each Series B Preferred Unit), subject to adjustment as described in Section 7(c) hereof (the "Conversion Price"); provided, however, that the right to convert Series B Preferred Units may not be exercised after the Fifteenth Anniversary Date. No fractional Common Units will be issued upon any conversion of Series B Preferred Units. Instead, the number of Common Units to be issued upon each conversion shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Common Units. (b) To exercise the conversion right, the holder of each Series B Preferred Unit to be converted shall execute and deliver to the General Partner, at the principal office of the Partnership, a written notice (the "Conversion Notice") indicating that the holder thereof elects to convert such Series B Preferred Unit. Unless the Units issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Series B Preferred Unit is registered, each Series B Preferred Unit surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). A-6 As promptly as practicable after delivery of the Conversion Notice as aforesaid, the Partnership shall amend the Partnership Agreement to reflect the conversion and the issuance of Common Units issuable upon the conversion of such Series B Preferred Units in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7. In addition, the Partnership shall deliver to the holder at its address as reflected on the records of the Partnership, a copy of such amendment. A holder of Series B Preferred Units at the close of business on the record date for any Distribution Period shall be entitled to receive the distribution payable on such Units on the corresponding Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Series B Preferred Units following such record date and prior to such Distribution Payment Date and shall have no right to receive any distribution for such Distribution Period in respect of the Common Units into which such Series B Preferred Units were converted. Except as provided herein, the Partnership shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on converted Series B Preferred Units or for distributions on the Common Units that are issued upon such conversion. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Conversion Notice is received by the Partnership as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any Common Units shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Units at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time and on such date unless the transfer books of the Partnership shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such Units have been surrendered and such notice received by the Partnership. (c) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Partnership shall, after the date on which the Series B Preferred Units are first issued (the "Issue Date"), (A) pay or make a distribution to holders of its partnership interests or Units in Common Units, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Units or distribute Common Units to the holders thereof, (C) combine its outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of Units or (D) issue any partnership interests or Units by reclassification of its Common Units, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders entitled to receive such distribution or at the opening of business on the day next following the day on which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective, as the case may be, shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Series B Preferred Unit thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Units or other partnership interests or securities that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Series B Preferred Unit been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in subsection (g) below) in the A-7 case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. (ii) If the Partnership shall issue after the Issue Date rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Units entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Units (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units) at a price per Unit less than the Fair Market Value per Common Unit on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Units entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day next following such record date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Units outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of Common Units that the aggregate proceeds to the Partnership from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common Units would purchase at such Fair Market Value, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Units outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of additional Common Units offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided in subsection (g) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Units to subscribe for or purchase Common Units at less than the Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Partnership upon issuance and upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of the General Partner. (iii) If the Partnership shall distribute after the Issue Date to all holders of Common Units any other securities or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding those rights, options and warrants referred to in and treated under subsection (ii) above, and excluding distributions paid exclusively in cash) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this subsection (iii) called the "Securities"), then in each case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Units entitled to receive such distribution by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per Common Unit on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of the General Partner) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Unit, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per Common Unit on the record date mentioned below. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the opening of business on the business day next following (except as provided in subsection (g) below) the record date for the determination of holders of Common Units entitled to receive such distribution. For the purposes of this subsection (iii), a distribution in the form of a Security, which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Units on the date A-8 fixed for the determination of holders of Common Units entitled to such distribution of such Security, but also is distributed with each Common Unit delivered to a person converting a Series B Preferred Unit after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection (iii); provided that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a Series B Preferred Unit would no longer be entitled to receive such Security with a Common Unit, a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this subsection (iii) (and such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Units entitled to receive such distribution" and "the record date" within the meaning of the two preceding sentences). (iv) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subsection (iv) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 (other than this subsection (iv)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Units. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7, the Partnership shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price for the issuance of any Common Units pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of distributions or interest payable on securities of the Partnership and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Units under such plan. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-tenth of a Unit (with .05 of a Unit being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Partnership shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this subsection (c), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any Unit distributions, subdivision of Units, reclassification or combination of Units, distribution of rights, options or warrants to purchase Units or securities, or a distribution consisting of other assets (other than cash distributions) hereafter made by the Partnership to its holders of Units shall not be taxable but any such adjustment shall not adversely affect the value of the Series B Preferred Units. (d) If the Partnership shall be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, self tender offer for all or substantially all of the Common Units, sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets or recapitalization of the Common Units and excluding any transaction as to which subsection (c)(i) of this Section 7 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be converted into the right to receive other partnership interests, shares, stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each Series B Preferred Unit which is not converted into the right to receive other partnership interests, shares, stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares, stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of Common Units into which one Series B Preferred Unit was convertible immediately A-9 prior to such Transaction, assuming such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. The Partnership shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this subsection (d), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Partnership has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units that will contain provisions enabling the holders of Series B Preferred Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Common Units at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction (with the holder having the option to elect the type of consideration if a choice was offered in the Transaction). The provisions of this subsection (d) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (e) If: (i) the Partnership shall declare a distribution on the Common Units (other than a cash distribution) or there shall be a reclassification, subdivision or combination of Common Units; or (ii) the Partnership shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Common Units of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any Units of any class or any other rights, options or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Units or any consolidation or merger to which the Partnership is a party and for which approval of any partners of the Partnership is required, involving the conversion or exchange of Common Units into securities or other property, or a self tender offer by the Partnership for all or substantially all of the Common Units, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, then the Partnership shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Series B Preferred Units at their addresses as shown on the records of the Partnership, as promptly as possible a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution of rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Units of record to be entitled to such distribution of rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Units of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Units for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7. A-10 (f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Partnership shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each Series B Preferred Unit at such holder's last address as shown on the records of the Partnership. (g) In any case in which subsection (c) of this Section 7 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the date next following the record date for an event, the Partnership may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series B Preferred Unit converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Units issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Units issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment. (h) For purposes of this Section 7, the number of Common Units at any time outstanding shall not include any Common Units then owned or held by or for the account of the Partnership. The Partnership shall not make any distribution on Common Units held in the treasury of the Partnership. (i) If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 7, only one adjustment shall be made, and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value. (j) If the Partnership shall take any action affecting the Common Units, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner would materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units, the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Units may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the General Partner determines to be equitable in the circumstances. (k) The Partnership covenants that Common Units issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Units shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and the holder thereof shall be entitled to rights of a holder of Common Units specified in the Partnership Agreement. Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Partnership shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Units, the Partnership shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof, by any governmental authority. (l) The Partnership will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Units or other securities or property on conversion of the Series B Preferred Units pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Units or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Series B Preferred Units to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Partnership the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Partnership, that such tax has been paid. A-11 (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the adjustment provisions contained in this Section 7 shall be applied so that there is no duplication of adjustments made pursuant to any other document.

Once given, a Notice shall be irrevocable subject to the payment of the Purchase Price for the Common Units specified therein in accordance with the terms hereof. 3.2 Method of Exercise. The Redemption Rights shall be exercised by delivery to the Partnership of (a) written notice (the "Notice") in the form of Exhibit A specifying the number of the Common Units to be redeemed and the name or names (with address) in which any Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be registered if different than the Contributing Party and (b) the -5- certificates, if any, representing such Common Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the exercise of the Redemption Rights with respect to all of the Common Units of any deceased Contributing Party or the Common Units of any partnership, limited liability company or pass-through entity that are allocable to a deceased partner, member or other Person shall not result in the recognition of gain for federal income tax purposes by any party, the Partnership shall have the right to require the Contributing Party or partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity or its legal representative to exercise the Redemption Rights as to all of such Common Units and to take any and all necessary action hereunder to effect such exercise. 3.3 Closing. The closing of the redemption or purchase and sale pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Rights by any Contributing Party shall occur within 30 days following the giving of the Notice; provided, however, that no closing may occur hereunder prior to the earlier of the one hundred twentieth day after the date hereof and the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Such Contributing Party shall execute such other documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the closing of such redemption or purchase and sale. 3.4 Payment of Cash or Issuance of Shares. At the closing of the redemption or purchase and sale of Common Units pursuant to an exercise of Redemption Rights by a Contributing Party, the Partnership shall deliver to such Contributing Party the Cash Purchase Price by check or, in the event that the General Partner has assumed the obligations of the Partnership with respect to such exercise of Redemption Rights, the General Partner shall deliver to such Contributing Party, at the election of the General Partner (which may be exercised in the General Partner's sole discretion) either (a) the Cash Purchase Price by check or (b) certificates representing the Shares and any other securities and/or other property constituting the Share Purchase Price, together with cash in lieu of the issuance of any fraction of a Share as provided in Section 2(e), or a combination thereof. 4. Matters Relating to Shares. 4.1 Registration. (a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the General Partner shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate registration form (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC covering the resale by Contributing Parties of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Redemption Rights assuming full conversion of the Series B Preferred Units into Common Units and full satisfaction of the Redemption Rights by delivery of Shares and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter. Following the effective date of the Registration Statement and until the Shares covered by the Registration Statement have been sold or are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, the General Partner shall keep the Registration Statement current, effective and available for the resale by Contributing Parties of the Shares delivered to them pursuant hereto. The General Partner shall bear all expenses relating to filing such Registration Statement and keeping such Registration Statement current, effective and available; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be responsible for any brokerage fees or underwriting commissions due and payable by any Contributing Party. -6- (b) During the time period when the Registration Statement is required to be current, effective and available under Section 4.1(a), the General Partner also shall: (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus constituting a part thereof, as amended or supplemented (the "Prospectus"), as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale of the Shares covered by such Registration Statement whenever any Contributing Party shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same but in no event beyond the period in which the Registration Statement is required to be kept in effect; (ii) furnish to each Contributing Party, without charge, such number of authorized copies of the Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as any Contributing Party may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Shares owned by Contributing Parties. (iii) register or qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are reasonably required to effect a sale thereof and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or appropriate under such state securities or blue sky laws to enable Contributing Parties to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such securities; (iv) before filing any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed to the Contributing Party Representative who shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon; provided, however, that all such documents shall be subject to the approval of the Contributing Party Representative insofar as they relate to information concerning Contributing Parties (including, without limitation, the proposed method of distribution of any Contributing Party's securities); (v) notify Contributing Parties promptly (A) when any such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (B) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for the purpose, (D) if, between the effective date of any such Registration Statement and the sale of the Shares to which it relates, the General Partner receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares or initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (E) of the happening of any event during the period such Registration Statement is effective which in the judgment of the General Partner makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading; -7- (vi) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest practicable time; (vii) cooperate with each Contributing Party to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Shares being sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends provided the Shares evidenced thereby have been sold in a manner permitted by the Prospectus; and (viii) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.1(b)(v)(E) hereof, promptly prepare and file a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the obligation to prepare and file any such supplement or post-effective amendment shall be suspended if the General Partner, relying upon advice of counsel, determines that disclosure of any information required to be included therein would be adverse to its interests, but such suspension shall not extend beyond 90 days with respect to any such specified event. (c) The General Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Contributing Party and each person, if any, who controls such Contributing Party (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Claims") to which such Contributing Party or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such Contributing Party and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Contributing Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be liable insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the General Partner by any Contributing Party expressly for use therein. Each Contributing Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the General Partner (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all Claims to which the General Partner or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon such information furnished in writing to the General Partner by such Contributing Party. (d) Each Contributing Party agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the General Partner of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(b)(v)(E), such Contributing Party will forthwith discontinue disposition of securities pursuant to the -8- Registration Statement until such Contributing Party's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(b)(viii). (e) Upon the written request to the General Partner from time to time as below provided and subject to other contractual obligations of the General Partner, the Contributing Parties holding Shares covered by the Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Shares covered by the Registration Statement in an underwritten offering. In such underwritten offering, the investment banker or bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting arrangements with respect thereto will be approved by, the Contributing Parties; provided that such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements must be reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner. No Contributing Party may participate in any underwritten offering contemplated hereby unless such Contributing Party agrees to sell such Contributing Party's Shares covered by the Registration Statement in accordance with any approved underwriting arrangements and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such approved underwriting arrangements. The General Partner shall be responsible for the costs of preparing and filing the amendment or supplement that is referred to below, and the selling securityholders shall pay their attorney's fees and underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with such underwritten offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a request from the managing underwriter or a representative of the Contributing Parties to prepare and file an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with such underwritten offering, the General Partner may delay the filing of any such amendment or supplement or postpone taking action with respect to an underwritten offering for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any calendar year, if the General Partner determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of such amendment or supplement or the taking of such action with respect to an underwritten offering would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the General Partner, or adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition of assets or stock, merger or other comparable transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, the Contributing Parties shall not have the right to effect more than two underwritten offerings pursuant to this paragraph and each such offering shall be required to include minimum gross sales proceeds of $17,500,000. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General Partner shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.1 effective after the Expiration Date or if the status of the General Partner (or its successor) as an Exchange Act Reporting Company is terminated. 4.2 Reservation of Shares. At all times while the Redemption Rights are outstanding, the General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of Shares as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue Shares in full satisfaction of all Redemption Rights which are from time to time outstanding (assuming that there are no limitations as to the ownership of such Shares under the Certificate of Incorporation which relate to compliance with the REIT Requirements, that all Series B Preferred Units have been converted into Common Units and that the General Partner elected to pay the Share Purchase Price with respect to all such Redemption Rights). -9- 4.3 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Redemption Rights shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. 5. Transfer and Similar Taxes. The General Partner shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Common Units to be exchanged, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the General Partner the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the General Partner, that such tax has been paid. 6. Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions. (a) The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted in the event that the General Partner (i) declares or pays a dividend or distribution on its outstanding Shares in Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares. In such event, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination. Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the opening of business on the day next following the record date, if any, for such event. In addition, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted in the event that the Partnership (i) declares or pays a dividend or distribution on its outstanding Common Units in Common Units, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Units, or (iii) combines its outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of Common Units. In such event, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the actual number of Common Units issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (determined without the below assumption) and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units issued and outstanding on such record date (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time). Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective on the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. (b) If at any time the holders of Common Stock are entitled to any right (a "Right") to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the General Partner, whether Common Stock or other classifications, or for any other securities or interests that a Contributing Party would have been entitled to subscribe for if, immediately prior to such grant, such Contributing Party had exercised its Redemption Rights and received the Share Purchase Price in payment thereof, in lieu of any adjustment under any other subsection of this Section 6 or other provision of this -10- Agreement and except to the extent that provision otherwise has been made for such Contributing Party to receive such Right or adjustment has been made in respect thereof under the Series B Preferred Unit Designation or otherwise, such Contributing Party also shall receive from the General Partner, prior to or concurrent with the time such Right becomes exercisable, the same Right that such Contributing Party would have been entitled to if such Contributing Party had exercised its Redemption Rights in full and received the Share Purchase Price in satisfaction thereof immediately prior to the time holders of Common Stock became entitled to such Right. (c) Upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction Event, the General Partner shall cause effective provision to be made so that, upon full conversion of the Series B Preferred Units of such Contributing Party into Common Units, exercise of the Redemption Rights by such Contributing Party in respect thereof and the election of the General Partner to pay the Purchase Price at any time following such Major Transaction Event by means of the Share Purchase Price, such Contributing Party shall have the right to acquire, in lieu of the Shares which otherwise would have been issued to such Contributing Party, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (and the provisions contained in Section 4.1 shall apply anew to the extent that such securities are of a class of securities of the General Partner or its successor that are registered under the Exchange Act) and interests as would be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares constituting the Share Purchase Price as if all Series B Preferred Units of such Contributing Party had been converted into Common Units, such Redemption Rights had been exercised and the General Partner had satisfied the Redemption Rights by delivery of the Share Purchase Price immediately before such Major Transaction Event. (d) The Partnership shall give written notice to Contributing Parties of any Major Transaction Event promptly after such Major Transaction is announced to the public. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the adjustment provisions contained in this Agreement shall be applied so that there is no duplication of adjustments made pursuant to any other document. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but only shall apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the exercise in full of the Redemption Rights or the liquidation of the Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise limit the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended from time to time. (f) Whenever the Conversion Factor is adjusted as herein provided, the General Partner shall compute the adjusted Conversion Factor in accordance with this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the General Partner setting forth the adjusted Conversion Factor and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the offices of the General Partner. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the first sentence of Section 6(e) hereof), the General Partner and the Partnership agree that they will apply the provisions of this Section 6, the definition of Share Purchase Price and any related provisions as if the Common Units were issued and outstanding as of July 10, 2002. Thus, for -11- example, if an event were to occur on December 31, 2002 that would adjust the number of Shares into which the Common Units would be exchangeable had such Common Units been outstanding as of such date, but the Common Units were not actually issued until December 31, 2003, then such adjustment would be applied so that, upon such issuance (but subject to further adjustment for subsequent events), the Common Units would be immediately exchangeable for the number of Shares for which the Common Units would have been exchangeable had such Common Units been outstanding on December 31, 2002. 7. Miscellaneous Provisions. 7.1 Notices.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the General Partner may assign this Agreement without the consent of any Contributing Party, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement. 7.3 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. 7.4 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Partnership, the General Partner and the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Units held by Contributing Parties at the time (assuming that all of the Series B Preferred Units were converted into Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement immediately prior to the execution of such amendment). 7.5 Governing Law.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or oral understandings and/or agreements among them with respect thereto. 7.9 Pronouns; Headings; Etc. As used herein, all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and all terms shall include the singular and plural thereof wherever the context and facts require such construction. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. Any references in this Agreement to a "Section" or "Exhibit" shall refer to a Section or Exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 7.10 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or made pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the closing of any redemption or purchase and sale pursuant to an exercise of Redemption Rights hereunder. 7.11 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall hereafter execute and deliver such other instruments and documents and do such further acts and things as may be required or useful to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) register or qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are reasonably required to effect a sale thereof and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or appropriate under such state securities or blue sky laws to enable Contributing Parties to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such securities; (iv) before filing any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed to the Contributing Party Representative who shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon; provided, however, that all such documents shall be subject to the approval of the Contributing Party Representative insofar as they relate to information concerning Contributing Parties (including, without limitation, the proposed method of distribution of any Contributing Party's securities); (v) notify Contributing Parties promptly (A) when any such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (B) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for the purpose, (D) if, between the effective date of any such Registration Statement and the sale of the Shares to which it relates, the General Partner receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares or initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (E) of the happening of any event during the period such Registration Statement is effective which in the judgment of the General Partner makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (vi) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest practicable time; (vii) cooperate with each Contributing Party to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Shares being sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends provided the Shares evidenced thereby have been sold in a manner permitted by the Prospectus; and (viii) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.1(b)(v)(E) hereof, promptly prepare and file a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in -7- light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the obligation to prepare and file any such supplement or post-effective amendment shall be suspended if the General Partner, relying upon advice of counsel, determines that disclosure of any information required to be included therein would be adverse to its interests, but such suspension shall not extend beyond 90 days with respect to any such specified event. (c) The General Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Contributing Party and each person, if any, who controls such Contributing Party (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Claims") to which such Contributing Party or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such Contributing Party and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Contributing Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be liable insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the General Partner by any Contributing Party expressly for use therein. Each Contributing Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the General Partner (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all Claims to which the General Partner or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon such information furnished in writing to the General Partner by such Contributing Party. (d) Each Contributing Party agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the General Partner of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(b)(v)(E), such Contributing Party will forthwith discontinue disposition of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Contributing Party's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(b)(viii). (e) Upon the written request to the General Partner from time to time as below provided and subject to other contractual obligations of the General Partner, the Contributing Parties holding Shares covered by the Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Shares covered by the Registration Statement in an underwritten offering. In such underwritten offering, the investment banker or bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting arrangements with respect thereto will be approved by, the Contributing Parties; provided that such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements must be reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner. No Contributing Party may participate in any underwritten offering contemplated hereby unless such Contributing Party agrees to sell such Contributing Party's Shares covered by the Registration Statement in accordance with any approved underwriting arrangements and completes and -8- executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such approved underwriting arrangements. The General Partner shall be responsible for the costs of preparing and filing the amendment or supplement that is referred to below, and the selling securityholders shall pay their attorney's fees and underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with such underwritten offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a request from the managing underwriter or a representative of the Contributing Parties to prepare and file an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with such underwritten offering, the General Partner may delay the filing of any such amendment or supplement or postpone taking action with respect to an underwritten offering for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any calendar year, if the General Partner determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of such amendment or supplement or the taking of such action with respect to an underwritten offering would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the General Partner, or adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition of assets or stock, merger or other comparable transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, the Contributing Parties shall not have the right to effect more than two underwritten offerings pursuant to this paragraph and each such offering shall be required to include minimum gross sales proceeds of $17,500,000. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General Partner shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.1 effective after the Expiration Date or if the status of the General Partner (or its successor) as an Exchange Act Reporting Company is terminated. 4.2 Reservation of Shares. At all times while the Redemption Rights are outstanding, the General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of Shares as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue Shares in full satisfaction of all Redemption Rights which are from time to time outstanding (assuming that there are no limitations as to the ownership of such Shares under the Certificate of Incorporation which relate to compliance with the REIT Requirements and that the General Partner elected to pay the Share Purchase Price with respect to all such Redemption Rights). 4.3 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Redemption Rights shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. 5. Transfer and Similar Taxes. The General Partner shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or property pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Preferred Units to be exchanged, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the General Partner the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the General Partner, that such tax has been paid. -9- 6. Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions. (a) The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted in the event that the General Partner (i) declares or pays a dividend or distribution on its outstanding Shares in Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares. In such event, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination. Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the opening of business on the day next following the record date, if any, for such event. (b) If at any time the holders of Shares are entitled to any right (a "Right") to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the General Partner, whether Preferred Stock or other classifications, or for any other securities or interests that a Contributing Party would have been entitled to subscribe for if, immediately prior to such grant, such Contributing Party had exercised its Redemption Rights and received the Share Purchase Price in payment thereof, in lieu of any adjustment under any other subsection of this Section 6 or other provision of this Agreement and except to the extent that provision otherwise has been made for such Contributing Party to receive such Right, such Contributing Party also shall receive from the General Partner, prior to or concurrent with the time such Right becomes exercisable, the same Right that such Contributing Party would have been entitled to if such Contributing Party had exercised its Redemption Rights in full and received the Share Purchase Price in satisfaction thereof immediately prior to the time holders of Shares became entitled to such Right. (c) Upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction Event, the General Partner shall cause effective provision to be made so that, upon exercise of the Redemption Rights by any Contributing Party and the election of the General Partner to pay the Purchase Price at any time following such Major Transaction Event by means of the Share Purchase Price, such Contributing Party shall have the right to acquire, in lieu of the Shares which otherwise would have been issued to such Contributing Party, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (and the provisions contained in Section 4.1 shall apply anew to the extent that such securities are of a class of securities of the General Partner or its successor that are registered under the Exchange Act) and interests as would be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares constituting the Share Purchase Price as if such Redemption Rights had been exercised and the General Partner had satisfied the Redemption Rights by delivery of the Share Purchase Price immediately before such Major Transaction Event. (d) The Partnership shall give written notice to Contributing Parties of any Major Transaction Event promptly after such Major Transaction is announced to the public. -10- (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the adjustment provisions contained in this Agreement shall be applied so that there is no duplication of adjustments made pursuant to any other document. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but only shall apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the exercise in full of the Redemption Rights or the liquidation of the Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise limit the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended from time to time. (f) Whenever the Conversion Factor is adjusted as herein provided, the General Partner shall compute the adjusted Conversion Factor in accordance with this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the General Partner setting forth the adjusted Conversion Factor and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the offices of the General Partner. 7.
