Dividends and Distributions.

(a)          Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Trustees, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7.55% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series D Preferred Stock (equivalent to the annual rate of $1.8875 per share of the Series D Preferred Stock). However, if following

 

-3-

 


 

a Change of Control the Series D Preferred Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Trustees, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends from (but excluding) the first date on which both the Change of Control has occurred and the Series D Preferred Stock is not so listed at the increased rate of 8.55% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference of the Series D Preferred Stock (equivalent to the annual rate of $2.1375 per share of the Series D Preferred Stock) for as long as the Series D Preferred Stock is not so listed. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the Original Issue Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing April 16, 2007; provided, however, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The initial partial dividend payable on the Series D Preferred Stock will be approximately $0.2464 per share. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series D Preferred Stock for each full Dividend Period shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend by four (4). The amount of any dividend payable on the Series D Preferred Stock for any partial Dividend Period other than the initial Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Trust at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date.

(b)          No dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Trustees or paid or set apart for payment by the Trust at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Trust, 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 or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall accrue whether or not the Trust has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and whether or not such dividends are declared.

(d)          Except as provided in Section (3)(e) below, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock (other than pro rata dividends paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) for any period, nor shall any shares of Common Stock or

 

-4-

 


 

any other shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock 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 shares) by the Trust (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Article NINTH of the Declaration), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.

(e)          When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series D Preferred Stock and the shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series D Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series D Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of Capital Stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series D Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.

(f)           Holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of Capital Stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series D Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

(g)          If, for any taxable year, the Trust elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the total dividends (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of Capital Stock (the “Total Dividends”), 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 Dividends paid or made available to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Dividends for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Capital Stock outstanding.

(4)          Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to liquidation rights, junior to the Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and of the Excess Stock converted from Series D Preferred Stock, if any) shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Trust legally available for distribution to its shareholders a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of payment (whether or not declared). In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Trust are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and the Excess Stock converted from Series D Preferred Stock, if any) and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to liquidation rights, on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (and the Excess Stock converted from Series D Preferred Stock, if any) and each such other class or series of shares of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, 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 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and the Excess Stock converted from Series D Preferred Stock, if any) at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Trust. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock (and the Excess Stock converted from Series D Preferred Stock, if any) will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Trust. The consolidation or merger of the Trust with or into any other trust, corporation or entity, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Trust, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust.

 

(5)

Redemption.

(a)           Shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to February 14, 2012 except (i) as required by Section (9) below for the purposes of the Trust maintaining its status as a REIT and (ii) as set forth in Section 5(c) below.

(b)           On or after February 14, 2012, the Trust, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest, subject to Section 5(g) below. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro

 

-6-

 


 

rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Trust that will not result in a violation of the Ownership Limit.

(c)           If at any time following a Change of Control, the Series D Preferred Stock is not listed on the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the Trust, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, sent within 90 days after the first date on which both the Change of Control has occurred and the Series D Preferred Stock is not so listed, may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, for cash at $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest.

(d)           Holders of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such Series D Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price of $25.00 per share and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If (i) notice of redemption of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock has been given, (ii) the funds necessary for such redemption have been irrevocably set aside by the Trust in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock so called for redemption and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price and all accrued and unpaid dividends, then from and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption, without interest. Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Trust’s right or ability to purchase, from time to time either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series D Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Trust may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law.

(e)           Unless full cumulative dividends on all Series D Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no Series D Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Trust shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series D Preferred Stock or any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock (except by exchange for shares of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series D Preferred Stock); except that the Trust may purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock or, subject to certain provisions of the Declaration, the Trust may, under certain circumstances, purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by a shareholder in excess of the Ownership Limit.

(f)           Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Trust, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Trust not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date,

 

-7-

 


 

addressed to the respective holders of record of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the share transfer records of the Trust. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series D Preferred Stock except as to a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder received the redemption notice. Each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the certificates for shares of Series D Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; and (v) that dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such redemption date. 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.

(g)          If a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, each holder of Series D 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, and each holder of Series D Preferred Stock that surrenders its shares on such redemption date will be entitled to the dividends accruing after the end of the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates up to but excluding the redemption date. Except as provided herein, the Trust shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series D Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption has been given.

(h)          The Series D Preferred Stock shall have no stated maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption.

(i)             All shares of the Series D Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Section (5) or otherwise shall be authorized but unissued shares of Series D Preferred Stock until reclassified into another class or series of Capital Stock.

 

(6)

Voting Rights.

(a)           Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as set forth in this Section (6).

(b)           Whenever dividends on any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), the holders of such Series D Preferred Stock (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of parity preferred stock of the Trust upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Parity Preferred”)) shall be

 

-8-

 


 

entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional trustees of the Trust (the “Preferred Trustees”) at the next annual meeting of shareholders and at each subsequent meeting until all dividends accumulated on such Series D Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In such case, the entire Board of Trustees will be increased by two trustees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the election of any additional trustees in the manner described herein, all accumulated dividends are paid on the Series D Preferred Stock and all classes or series of Parity Preferred, no such additional trustees will be so elected. If and when all accumulated dividends shall have been paid on such Series D Preferred Stock and all classes or series of Parity Preferred, the right of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred to elect the Preferred Trustees shall immediately cease (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default), and the term of office of each Preferred Trustee so elected shall terminate and the entire Board of Trustees shall be reduced accordingly. So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Trustee may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Trustee remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights described above (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred). Each of the Preferred Trustees shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.

(c)           So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and each other class or series of Parity Preferred, outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting as a single class) will be required to: (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of Capital Stock ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust or reclassify any authorized shares of Capital Stock of the Trust into such Capital Stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Capital Stock; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Declaration or these Articles Supplementary, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise (an “Event”), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series D Preferred Stock; provided however, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above, so long as the Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of an Event, the Trust may not be the surviving entity, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock receive in the Event a substantially similar security, the occurrence of such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of Series D Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above. Holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote with respect to (A) any increase, decrease or issuance from time to time of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust (including the Series D Preferred Stock), or (B) the creation

 

-9-

 


 

or issuance from time to time of any additional classes or series of Capital Stock, in each case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(d)           The foregoing voting provisions of this Section (6) 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 shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds, in cash, shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.

(e)           In any matter in which the Series D Preferred Stock may vote (as expressly provided herein or as may be required by law), each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote per $25.00 of liquidation preference.

(7)           Conversion. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Trust or any other entity except as provided in Article NINTH of the Declaration.

(8)           Ranking. In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Trust, the Series D Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock and to any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust other than any class or series referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, (ii) on a parity with the 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Trust, the 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Trust, and any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series of Capital Stock ranks on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, and (iii) junior to any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust. For avoidance of doubt, debt securities of the Trust which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Capital Stock of the Trust shall not constitute a class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust.

The Series D Preferred Stock, being Equity Stock, is governed by and issued subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of the Declaration applicable to Equity Stock generally, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH of the Declaration applicable to Equity Stock; provided, however, that (i) the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH thereof applicable to Equity Stock shall also be applied to the Series D Preferred Stock separately and without regard to any other series or class, (ii) the reference to the “General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland” under subparagraph (b)(4) of Article NINTH of the Declaration shall be to the “Maryland REIT Law,” (iii) the Equity Stock into which the Excess Stock is converted in subparagraph
