Allocations of Gross Income, Net Income and Net Loss. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, in each tax year in which there is sufficient Gross Income and Net Income to make all of the allocations described in clauses (i) through (iii) below, Gross Income, Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership for such tax year shall be allocated among the Partners in the following order and priority: (i) First, Net Income shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of the Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount of Net Cash Flow distributed to such Partner pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(i) and (ii) and Section 6.2(c) (but only to the extent of the Preferred Distribution Requirement and Preferred Distribution Shortfalls) for the current and all prior Partnership tax years over (B) the amount of Net Income previously allocated to such Partner pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) or pursuant to paragraph (b)(i); (ii) Second, for any Partnership tax year ending on or after a date on which Preferred Units are redeemed, Net Income (or Net Losses) shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of the Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess (or deficit) of the sum of the applicable Preferred Redemption Amounts for the Preferred Units that have been or are being redeemed during such Partnership tax year over the Preferred Unit Issue Price of such Preferred Units; (iii) Third, Gross Income shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of SCUs or Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in an amount equal to the amount of cash distributed to such Partner in respect of such SCUs or Common Units pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) (the "Target Amount"). The character of the items of Gross Income allocated to the relevant Partners pursuant to this clause (iii) shall proportionately reflect the relative amounts of the Partnership's Gross Income having such character for such year, excluding from such Gross Income Net Capital Gain allocated pursuant to Section 1(c) below; provided, however, that such items shall not include items described in section (e) of the definition of Net Income or Net Loss, it being the intention of the parties that the tax items allocated under Section 3(a) corresponding to the items of Gross Income allocated pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iii) will equal the Target Amount. If the amount of such items differs from the Target Amount, the items of Gross Income allocated pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iii) shall be adjusted to cause the amount of such tax items to equal the Target Amount. For purposes of determining the amount of cash distributed to such Partners, Special Tax Distributions shall not be taken into account, and Extraordinary Return of Capital Distributions shall be taken into account only to the extent that the amount of such Extraordinary Return of Capital Distributions exceed the aggregate of the Excess Allocations made to such Partners. For this purpose, "Excess Allocations" mean the excess of the Tax Net Capital Gain allocated under Section 3(a) to holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in connection with allocations of Net Capital Gain under Section 1(c) over the Special Tax Distribution made to such Partners. A distribution shall be treated as an Extraordinary Return of Capital Distribution to the extent that such distribution is reasonably attributable to (x) Net Financing Proceeds or (y) proceeds allocable to a transaction generating Net Capital Gain allocated pursuant to Section 1(c); in either case limited to the excess of the Tax Net Capital Gain allocated under Section 3(a) to holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in connection with allocations of Net Capital Gain under Section 1(c) over the Special Tax Distributions made to such Partners. (iv) Fourth, any remaining Net Income and Net Losses, taking into account in determining such Net Income or Net Losses the allocation of Gross Income provided for in paragraph (a)(iii) above, shall be allocated among the Partners, on account of their Common Units other than Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs, in accordance with their proportionate ownership of Common Units other than Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs (except as otherwise required by the Regulations). (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, in each tax year in which there is not sufficient Gross Income and Net Income to make all of the allocations described in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(iii) above, Gross Income, Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership for such tax year shall be allocated among the Partners in the following order and priority: (i) First, Net Income shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of the Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount of Net Cash Flow distributed to such Partner pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(i) and (ii) and Section 6.2(c) (but only to the extent of the Preferred Distribution Requirement and Preferred Distribution Shortfalls) for the current and all prior Partnership tax years over (B) the amount of Net Income previously allocated to such Partner pursuant to this paragraph (b)(i) or pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) (ii) Second, for any Partnership tax year ending on or after a date on which Preferred Units are redeemed, Net Income (or Net Losses) shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of the Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess (or deficit) of the sum of the applicable Preferred Redemption Amounts for the Preferred Units that have been or are being redeemed during such Partnership tax year over the Preferred Unit Issue Price of such Preferred Units; (iii) Third, Gross Income, to the extent not previously taken into account in making the allocations required under paragraph (a)(i) and (a)(ii), shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, on account of SCUs or Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in an amount equal to the amount of cash distributed to such Partner in respect of such SCUs or Common Units pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) (the "Target Amount"). The character of the items of Gross Income allocated to the relevant Partners pursuant to this clause (iii) shall proportionately reflect the relative amounts of the Partnership's Gross Income having such character for such year, excluding from such Gross Income Net Capital Gain allocated pursuant to Section 1(c) below; provided, however, that such items shall not include items described in section (e) of the definition of Net Income or Net Loss, it being the intention of the parties that the tax items allocated under Section 3(a) corresponding to the items of Gross Income allocated pursuant to this Section 1(b)(iii) will equal the Target Amount. If the amount of such items differs from the Target Amount, the items of Gross Income allocated pursuant to this Section 1(b)(iii) shall be adjusted to cause the amount of such tax items to equal the Target Amount. For purposes of determining the amount of cash distributed to such Partners, Special Tax Distributions shall not be taken into account, and Extraordinary Return of Capital Distributions shall be taken into account only to the extent that the amount of such Extraordinary Return of Capital Distributions exceed the aggregate of the Excess Allocations made to such Partners. For this purpose, "Excess Allocations" mean the excess of the Tax Net Capital Gain allocated under Section 3(a) to holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in connection with allocations of Net Capital Gain under Section 1(c) over the Special Tax Distribution made to such Partners. A distribution shall be treated as an Extraordinary Return of Capital Distribution to the extent that such distribution is reasonably attributable to (x) Net Financing Proceeds or (y) proceeds allocable to a transaction generating Net Capital Gain allocated pursuant to Section 1(c); in either case limited to the excess of the Tax Net Capital Gain allocated under Section 3(a) to holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs in connection with allocations of Net Capital Gain under Section 1(c) over the Special Tax Distributions made to such Partners. (iv) Fourth, any remaining Net Income and Net Losses, taking into account in determining such Net Income or Net Losses the allocation of Gross Income provided for in paragraph (b)(iii) above, shall be allocated among the Partners, on account of their Common Units other than Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs, in accordance with their proportionate ownership of Common Units other than Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs (except as otherwise required by the Regulations). (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a)(iii) and (a)(iv), and clauses (b)(iii) and (b)(iv), above, holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received upon a conversion or redemption of SCUs may be allocated their proportionate share of Net Capital Gain recognized by the Partnership in a taxable year (in accordance with their proportionate ownership of the aggregate number of SCUs and Common Units, counting each SCU as the number of Common Units into which it is convertible in accordance with Exhibit E), in addition to the amount specified in clause (a)(iii) above and clause (b)(iii) above, if each of the following requirements is satisfied: (i) the Partnership shall have distributed to each holder of SCUs in cash pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iv) for the last quarter of such taxable year an amount equal to the Basic Distribution Amount (determined without taking into account any Special Tax Distribution); (ii) during such taxable year, the Partnership has recognized Net Capital Gain in connection with a sale of, condemnation of, or disposition of one or more Properties; (iii) the Partnership has made or will make prior to January 30, of the following tax year a cash distribution (a "Special Tax Distribution") to the Partners, and the portion of such Special Tax Distribution made to the holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received upon a conversion or redemption of SCUs equals or exceeds the product of the maximum combined federal, Ohio and Cleveland rates imposed on net capital gains of the applicable holding period (taking into account recapture, if applicable, and the deductibility of state and local taxes) multiplied by the amount of Tax Net Capital Gain allocated under Section 3(a) to holders of SCUs and holders of Common Units received upon a conversion or redemption of SCUs in connection with the allocation under this Section 1(c) of Net Capital Gain to such holders. For these purposes, Tax Net Capital Gain means net capital gain, as determined for federal income tax purposes, which is governed by Section 3(a) and not Section 3(c) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of any Special Tax Distribution will be taken into account when determining whether the Partnership has satisfied the distribution requirement of Section 6.2(a)(iii) or 6.2(a)(iv) ; (iv) with respect to Special Tax Distributions to be made within two years of the final Closing provided for in the Master Contribution Agreement, the Special Tax Distribution will not cause the aggregate distributions to a holder of SCUs or a holder of Common Units received on a conversion or redemption of SCUs, other than distributions to such holder in respect of the Basic Distribution Amount, to exceed the product of (x) the lesser of such holder's percentage interest in Partnership profits for the year in which the Special Tax Distribution is made or such holder's percentage interest in Partnership profits for the life of the Partnership (as determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(b)) and (y) the Partnership's net cash flow from operations for the year in which the Special Tax Distribution is made (as determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(b)). (d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), Net Income and Net Losses from a Liquidation Transaction shall be allocated as follows: (i) First, Net Income (or Net Losses) from the Liquidation Transaction shall be allocated to the relevant Partner, in connection with the Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess (or deficit) of the sum of the applicable Preferred Redemption Amounts of the Preferred Units which have been or will be redeemed with the proceeds of the Liquidation Transaction over the Preferred Unit Issue Price of such Preferred Units; (ii) Second, Net Income (or Net Losses) from the Liquidation Transaction shall be allocated among the Partners owning SCUs or Common Units so that the Capital Accounts of the Partners (excluding from the Capital Account of any Partner the amount attributable to such Partner's Preferred Units) are proportional to the number of Common Units held by each Partner. For purposes of this clause (ii), each SCU shall be treated as the number of Common Units into which the SCU is convertible pursuant to the terms of Exhibit E to the Agreement. (iii) Third, any remaining Net Income or Net Losses from the Liquidation Transaction shall be allocated among the Partners owning SCUs or Common Units in accordance with their proportionate ownership of Common Units. For purposes of this clause (iii), each SCU shall be treated as the number of Common Units into which the SCU is convertible pursuant to the terms of Exhibit E to the Agreement. 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 thereto. (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 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 Sections 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 sections 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 thereto. (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Sections 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) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their proportionate ownership of Common Units other than Common Units issued on a redemption or conversion of SCUs. (e) 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 Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1). (f) Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations (as defined below) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income (including Gross 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. To the extent that there is an allocation under Section 2(a) or (b) hereof of Partnership income or gain to a holder of SCUs or Common Units issued on a redemption or conversion of SCUs, there will be a correspondingly smaller allocation of Gross Income to such holder under Section 1(a)(ii) or 1(b)(ii) hereof. This subparagraph (f) 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 this paragraph 2. 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 Section 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 Section 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 Section 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 subject to the ceiling rule stated in Regulation Section 1.704-1(c) and Regulation Section 1.704-3. The General Partner will not specially allocate Tax Items (other than the Section 704(c) Tax Items) to cure for the effect of the ceiling rule, except that with respect to the properties contributed to the Partnership (the "Jacobs Properties") pursuant to the Master Contribution Agreement dated September 25, 2000 among Jacobs Realty Investors Limited Partnership, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and others (as amended, the "Master Contribution Agreement"), curative allocations of gain recognized on a disposition of a direct or indirect interest in a Jacobs Property may be made to the extent permitted in Regulation Section 1.704-3(c). The Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to it by a Property Partnership to the Partner or Partners contributing the interest or interests in such Property Partnership, so that, to the greatest extent possible, such contributing Partner or Partners are allocated the same amount and character of items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Property Partnership that they would have been allocated had they contributed undivided interests in the assets owned by such Property Partnership to the Partnership in lieu of contributing the interest or interests in the Property Partnership to the Partnership. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to property contributed to the Partnership after the date hereof, such Section 704(c) Tax Items may be allocated under such method selected by the General Partner that is consistent with the Section 704(c) Regulations. 4. Certain Allocations of Depreciation and Loss. Notwithstanding anything in this Exhibit C to the contrary, depreciation, amortization, gain and loss attributable to an adjustment under Section 743 or Section 734 of the Code of the federal income tax basis of Partnership assets (including adjustments made prior to or after the contribution of the relevant assets or indirect interests therein to the Partnership) shall be allocated to the direct or indirect partner, or such partner's successor or assign, whose death or acquisition of a direct or indirect interest gave rise to the adjustments, except to the extent such allocations would not be valid as a result of a change in tax law occurring after the date of the Master Contribution Agreement. Attachment 5 ------------ EXHIBIT F --------- Exchange Rights of Common Units ------------------------------- Issued In Exchange For or Upon Redemption of SCUs ------------------------------------------------- 1 At any time, subject to the remainder of this Exhibit F, a holder of Common Units issued in exchange for or upon the redemption of SCUs (such Common Units are referred to herein as "JCUs") shall have the right to exchange all or any portion of such holder's JCUs (the "JCU Offered Units") for JCU Exchange Consideration (as defined below), subject to the limitations contained in Paragraphs 3 and 4 below. Any such JCU Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to an exchange notice comparable to the Exchange Notice required under Exhibit D to the Partnership Agreement (such notice, a "JCU Exchange Notice") delivered by the holder exercising the JCU Exchange Right (the "JCU Exercising Holder") to the Company. 2 The exchange consideration (the "JCU Exchange Consideration") payable by the Company to each JCU Exercising Holder shall be equal to the product of (x) the Common Stock Amount with respect to the JCU Offered Units multiplied by (y) the Current Per Share Market Price, each computed as of the date on which the JCU Exchange Notice was delivered to the Company. The JCU Exchange Consideration shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, be paid in the form of (A) cash, or cashier's or certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the JCU Exercising Holder's designated account or (B) subject to the applicable Ownership Limit, by the issuance by the Company of a number of shares of its Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Amount with respect to the JCU Offered Units or (C) subject to the applicable Ownership Limit, any combination of cash and Common Stock (valued at the Current Per Share Market Price). 3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any JCU Exchange Right may only be exercised to the extent that, upon exercise of the JCU Exchange Right, assuming payment by the Company of the JCU Exchange Consideration in shares of Common Stock, the JCU Exercising Holder will not, on a cumulative basis, Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the JCU Exchange Right, in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit. If a JCU Exchange Notice is delivered to the Company but, as a result of the applicable Ownership Limit or as a result of restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation of the Company, the JCU Exchange Right cannot be exercised in full as aforesaid, the JCU Exchange Notice shall be deemed to be modified to provide that the JCU Exchange Right shall be exercised only to the extent permitted under the applicable Ownership Limit under the certificate of incorporation of the Company, and the JCU Exchange Notice with respect to the remainder of such JCU Exchange Right shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. 4 JCU Exchange Rights may be exercised at any time and from time to time, provided, however, that, except as set forth below in Paragraph 6 or with the prior written consent of the General Partner, (x) only two (2) JCU Exchange Notices may be delivered to the Company by each holder of JCUs during any consecutive twelve (12) month period; and (y) no JCU Exchange Notice may be delivered with respect to JCUs either (i) having a value of less than $250,000 calculated by multiplying the Common Stock Amount with respect to such JCUs by the Current Per Share Market Price or (ii) if a holder does not own JCUs having a value of $250,000 or more, constituting less than all of the JCUs owned by such holder. 5 Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of any JCU Exchange Notice delivered in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 1 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the JCU Exercising Holder a notice (a "JCU Election Notice"), which JCU Election Notice shall set forth the computation of the JCU Exchange Consideration and shall specify the form of the JCU Exchange Consideration (which shall be in accordance with Paragraph 2 hereof), to be paid by the Company to such JCU Exercising Holder and the date, time and location for completion of the purchase and sale of the JCU Offered Units, which date shall, to the extent required, in no event be more than (A) in the case of JCU Offered Units with respect to which the Company has elected to pay the JCU Exchange Consideration by issuance of shares of Common Stock, ten (10) days after the delivery by the Company of the JCU Election Notice for the JCU Offered Units or (B) in the case of JCU Offered Units with respect to which the Company has elected to pay the JCU Exchange Consideration in cash, sixty (60) days after the initial date of receipt by the Company of the JCU Exchange Notice for such JCU Offered Units; provided, however, that such sixty (60) day period may be extended for an additional sixty (60) day period to the extent required for the Company to cause additional shares of its Common Stock to be issued to provide financing to be used to acquire the JCU Offered Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the closing of the exchange hereunder to occur as quickly as possible. If the Company has delivered a JCU Election Notice to the JCU Exercising Holder with respect to a JCU Exchange Notice, the JCU Exchange Notice may not be withdrawn or modified by the JCU Exercising Holder without the consent of the General Partner. Similarly, if the Company delivers a JCU Election Notice to a JCU Exercising Holder, the Company may not modify the JCU Election Notice without the consent of the JCU Exercising Holder. 6 Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in clause (x) of Paragraph 4, in the event that the Company provides notice to the holders of JCUs, pursuant to Paragraph 8(v) hereof, the JCU Exchange Rights shall be exercisable by each holder of JCUs at any time that is during the period commencing on the date on which the Company provides such notice and ending on the earlier to occur of thirty (30) days from receipt of the Company's aforesaid notice and the record date, if any, to determine shareholders eligible to receive such distribution or to vote upon the approval of such merger, sale or other extraordinary transaction (or, if no such record date is applicable, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date the Company provides the notice pursuant to Paragraph 8(v) hereof). In the event that a JCU Exercising Holder delivers to the Company a JCU Exchange Notice pursuant to this Paragraph 6, the Company shall be required to deliver a JCU Election Notice before the earlier of (1) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Company receives the JCU Exchange Notice or (2) one (1) Business Day before the record date to determine shareholders eligible to receive a distribution or vote on approval and such JCU Election Notice shall, among other things, set the date for the purchase and sale of the JCU Offered Units, which date shall, to the extent required, in no event be more than (A) in the case of JCU Offered Units with respect to which the Company has elected to pay the JCU Exchange Consideration by issuance of shares of Common Stock, one (1) Business Day prior to the record date, if any, to determine shareholders eligible to receive such distribution or to vote upon the approval of such merger, sale or other extraordinary transaction or (B) in the case of JCU Offered Units with respect to which the Company has elected to pay the JCU Exchange Consideration in cash, sixty (60) days after the initial date of receipt by the Company of the JCU Exchange Notice for such JCU Offered Units; provided, however, that such sixty (60) day period may be extended for an additional sixty (60) day period to the extent required for the Company to cause additional shares of its Common Stock to be issued to provide financing to be used to acquire the JCU Offered Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the closing of the exchange hereunder to occur as quickly as possible. 7 At the closing of the purchase and sale of JCU Offered Units, payment of the JCU Exchange Consideration shall be accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and assignment and by the delivery of (i) representations and warranties of (A) the JCU Exercising Holder with respect to (x) its due authority to sell all of the right, title and interest in and to such JCU Offered Units to the Company, (y) the status of the JCU Offered Units being sold, free and clear of all Liens and (z) its intent to acquire the Common Stock for investment purposes and not for distribution, and (B) the Company with respect to due authority for the purchase of such JCU Offered Units, and (ii) to the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued in payment of the JCU Exchange Consideration or any portion thereof, (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company reasonably satisfactory to the JCU Exercising Holder, to the effect that (I) such shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and (II) that the issuance of such shares will not violate the applicable Ownership Limit, and (B) a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock to be issued and registered in the name of the JCU Exercising Holder or its designee, with an appropriate legend reflecting that such shares or units are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold unless registered pursuant to the provisions of such act or an exemption therefrom is available as confirmed by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. 8 To facilitate the Company's ability to fully perform its obligations hereunder, the Company covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of JCUs, as follows: (i) At all times during the pendency of the JCU Exchange Rights, the Company shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to enable the Company to issue such shares in full payment of the JCU Exchange Consideration in regard to all JCUs which are from time to time outstanding. (ii) As long as the Company shall be obligated to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, the Company will timely file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient of Common Stock issued to holders of JCUs hereunder in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof. (iii) Each holder of JCUs, upon request, shall be entitled to receive from the Operating Partnership in a timely manner all reports filed by the Company with the SEC and all other communications transmitted from time to time by the Company to its shareholders generally. (iv) Other than as contemplated under the terms of the Rights Agreement, dated April 30, 1999, as amended from time to time, and any successor agreement thereof, issuances of stock pursuant to the Company's dividend reinvestment plan (as described in the Company's prospectus dated August 15, 1995) or any customary dividend reinvestment plan adopted by the Company after that date and other than the issuance of deferred stock awards or the grant of stock options to officers, directors and employees of the Company, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities or any instrument convertible into any equity security for a consideration less than the fair value of such Common Stock or other equity security, as determined in each case by the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company's professional advisors, and under no circumstances shall the Company declare any stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution or the like, unless fair and equitable arrangements are provided, to the extent necessary, to fully adjust, and to avoid any dilution in, the rights of holders of the JCUs under this Exhibit F and the Agreement. (v) The Company shall notify the holders of JCUs of its intention to make any extraordinary distributions of cash or property to its shareholders or effect a merger (including, without limitation, a triangular merger), a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any other similar transaction outside of the ordinary course of business at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date, if any, to determine shareholders eligible to receive such distribution or to vote upon the approval of such merger, sale or other transaction (or, if no such record date is applicable, at least thirty (30) days before consummation of such merger, sale or other transaction). This provision for such notice shall not be deemed (i) to permit any transaction that otherwise is prohibited by the Agreement or requires the approval of the holders of JCUs or (ii) to require a vote of the holders of JCUs to a transaction that does not otherwise require such a vote under the Agreement or (iii) to effect the validity of any transaction if such notice is not given. Each holder of JCUs, as a condition to the receipt of the notice pursuant hereto, shall be obligated to keep confidential the information set forth therein until such time as the Company has made public disclosure thereof and to use such information during such period of confidentiality solely for purposes of determining whether or not to exercise its JCU Exchange Rights; provided, however, that a holder of JCUs may disclose such information to its attorney, accountant and/or financial advisor for purposes of obtaining advice with respect to such exercise so long as such attorney, accountant and/or financial advisor agrees to receive and hold such information subject to this confidentiality requirement. 9 All JCU Offered Units tendered to the Company in accordance with the exercise of JCU Exchange Rights shall be delivered to the Company free and clear of all Liens and should any Liens exist or arise with respect to such Units, the Company shall be under no obligation to acquire the same unless, in connection with such acquisition, the Company has elected to pay such portion of the JCU Exchange Consideration in the form of cash consideration in circumstances where such consideration will be sufficient to cause such existing Lien to be discharged in full upon application of all or a part of such consideration, and the Company is expressly authorized to apply such portion of the JCU Exchange Consideration as may be necessary to satisfy any indebtedness in full and to discharge such Lien in full. In the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of JCU Offered Units to the Company, the transferring holder thereof shall assume and pay such transfer tax. 10 Subject to the restrictions of transfer set forth in the Agreement, the Assignee of any holder of JCUs may exercise the rights of such holder of JCUs pursuant to this Exhibit F, and such holder of JCUs shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such holder's Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such holder, the JCU Exchange Consideration shall be paid by the Company directly to such Assignee and not to such holder. 11 In the event that the Company shall be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange with respect to the Common Stock), in each case as a result of which shares of Common Stock are converted into the right to receive shares of capital stock, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), the JCU Exchange Consideration payable thereafter by the Company pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) of Paragraph 2 in lieu of a share of Common Stock shall be the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property (including cash or any combination thereof) that was received upon consummation of such transaction in return for one share of Common Stock; and the Company may not become a party to any such transaction unless the terms thereof are consistent with the foregoing. 12 The provisions of Article XI and Exhibit D of the Agreement shall not apply to the JCUs. 13 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
