FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contains or may contain certain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of acquisitions, our future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. When used in this Annual Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this Annual Report. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; financing risks, including the risk that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us. In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1 of this Annual Report and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART I
Item 1.     Business
The Company
      Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. As of December 31, 2004, we owned or managed a real estate portfolio of 1,499 apartment properties containing 263,734 apartment units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Based on apartment unit data compiled by the National Multi Housing Council, as of December 31, 2004, we were the largest REIT owner and operator of apartment properties in the United States. Our portfolio includes garden style, mid-rise and high-rise properties.
      We own an equity interest in, and consolidate the majority of, the properties in our owned real estate portfolio. These properties represent the consolidated real estate holdings in our financial statements, which we refer to as consolidated properties. In addition, we have an equity interest in, but do not consolidate for financial statement purposes, certain properties that are accounted for under the equity method. These properties represent our investment in unconsolidated real estate partnerships in our financial statements, which we refer to as unconsolidated properties. Additionally, we manage (both property and asset) but do not own an equity interest in other properties, although in certain cases we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the

operations of such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund. Our equity holdings and managed properties are as follows as of December 31, 2004:

      Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2004, we held approximately a 90% interest in the common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all of our assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as “OP Units.” OP Units include common OP Units, partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units, and high performance partnership units, or High Performance Units. Generally after a holding period of twelve months, holders of common OP Units may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Aimco Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock. At December 31, 2004, 94,853,696 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 10,840,754 common OP Units and equivalents outstanding for a combined total of 105,694,450 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding preferred OP Units).
      Since our initial public offering in July 1994, we have completed numerous transactions, expanding our portfolio of owned or managed properties from 132 properties with 29,343 apartment units to 1,499 properties with 263,734 apartment units as of December 31, 2004. These transactions have included purchases of properties and interests in entities that own or manage properties, as well as corporate mergers.
      Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company.

The information contained on our website is not incorporated into this Annual Report. Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AIV.”
Financial Information About Industry Segments
      We operate in two reportable segments: real estate (owning and operating apartments) and investment management business (providing property management and other services relating to the apartment business to third parties and affiliates). For further information on these segments, see Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7.
Business Overview
      Our principal objective is to increase long-term stockholder value, which we believe results from increasing asset values, increasing operating cash flows and long-term, predictable Funds From Operations, or FFO (as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts), per share of Common Stock, less capital

3


Table of Contents

spending for replacements. For a description of the meaning of FFO and its use and limitations as an operating measure, see the discussion titled “Funds From Operations” in Item 7.
      We strive to meet our objectives by focusing on property operations, generation of fees, portfolio management, reinvestment in properties, increasing land values through entitlements, managing our cost of capital by using leverage that is largely long-term, non-recourse and property specific, and managing our general and administrative costs through increasing productivity.
Property Operations
      We divide property operations into two business components: conventional and affordable. Our conventional operations, which typically are market-rate apartments with rents paid by the resident, include 591 properties with 164,807 units and also include our university communities portfolio (16 properties with 4,277 units). Aimco Capital conducts our affordable operations of 415 properties with 49,853 units, which typically are apartments with rents set by a government agency and frequently subsidized or paid by a government agency.
      Our property operations are characterized by diversification of product, location and price point. We operate a broad range of property types, from suburban garden-style to urban high-rise properties in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico at a broad range of average monthly rental rates, with most between $500 and $1,100 per month, and reaching as much as $6,000 per month at some of our premier properties. This geographic diversification insulates us, to some degree, from inevitable downturns in any one market.
Conventional
      Our conventional operations are organized into four divisions, each of which is supervised by a Division Vice President, or DVP, and as of December 31, 2004, are further sub-divided into 17 regional operating centers, or ROCs, and a university communities group. Each ROC is supervised by a Regional Vice President, or RVP. The ROCs are generally smaller business units with specialized operational, financial and human resource leadership. We seek to improve the operating results from our property operations by, among other methods, combining centralized financial control and uniform operating procedures with localized property management decision-making and market knowledge. To manage our nationwide portfolio more efficiently and to increase the benefits from our local management expertise, we have given direct responsibility for operations to the RVP with oversight from extensive regular reviews with senior management. To enable the RVPs to focus on sales and service, as well as improve financial control and budgeting, we have dedicated a regional financial officer to support each RVP and have an expanded construction services group to handle all work on site beyond routine maintenance, thus reducing the need for RVPs to spend time on oversight of construction projects. We continue to improve our corporate-level oversight of conventional property operations by developing better systems, standardizing business goals, operational measurements and internal reporting, and enhancing financial controls over field operations. Many changes were made during 2003 and 2004 that we believe will enable our regional and community managers to benefit from more organizational clarity, more and better information, and more tools to help them make quicker, better decisions closer to the property and to the customer, including the areas discussed below:
  •  Customer Service. We are changing our operating culture to become more focused on our customers, by emphasizing customer service and evaluating our performance through a customer satisfaction tracking system. We increased training at the community level and elevated the role of the service manager in enhancing the experience of our residents. These changes included an increased emphasis on our service order intake process and implementation of standardized preventive and proactive maintenance programs.
 
  •  Resident Selection and Retention. In apartment properties, neighbors are a part of the product, together with the location of the property and the physical quality of the apartment units. Part of our conventional operations strategy is to focus on resident acquisition and retention — attracting and retaining credit-worthy residents who are good neighbors. In addition to the customer service initiatives discussed above, we enhanced our resident acquisition and retention processes by: implementing structured goals and coaching for all of our sales personnel; refining the content and placement of our advertising; standardizing the content and timing of our phone and email responses to customer inquiries, including

4


Table of Contents

  the implementation of a tracking system for inquiries; and standardizing our renewal communication programs. We standardized residential financial stability requirements and raised the standard across our portfolio to reduce turnover costs and improve retention. Additionally, we have implemented policies and monitoring practices to maintain our resident quality. We believe that the costs exceed the benefits when higher occupancy results from lowering of financial stability standards.
 
  •  Revenue Increases. We increase rents where feasible and seek to improve occupancy rates. We are also focused on the automation of on-site operations, as we believe that timely and accurate collection of property performance and resident profile data will enable us to maximize revenue through better property management and leasing decisions. We have standardized policies for new and renewal pricing with timely data and analyses by floor-plan, thereby enabling us to maximize our ability to modify pricing, even in challenging sub-markets. In addition, we intend to continue our emphasis on the quality of our on-site employees through recruiting, training and retention programs, which we believe lead to increased occupancy rates through improved customer service and enhanced performance.
 
  •  Controlling Expenses. Cost controls are accomplished by local focus at the ROC level and by taking advantage of economies of scale at the corporate level. As a result of the size of our portfolio and our creation of regional concentrations of properties, we have the ability to spread over a large property base fixed costs for general and administrative expenditures and certain operating functions, such as purchasing, insurance and information technology. We are currently implementing a local vendor consolidation program and an electronic procurement system to provide better ongoing control over purchasing decisions and to take advantage of volume discounts.
 
  •  Ancillary Services. We believe that our ownership and management of properties provide us with unique access to a customer base that allows us to provide additional services and thereby increase occupancy and rents, while also generating incremental revenue. We currently provide cable television, telephone services, appliance rental, and carport, garage and storage space rental at certain properties.

University Communities
      We established University Communities as an autonomous division in 2003 with the goal of becoming the most significant operator in the student-housing sector. In 2004, the division managed 16 properties with 4,277 apartments and maintained academic year occupancy at 93% through focused attention on student leasing. University Communities is actively acquiring multi-family and residence hall properties both on its own, through our joint venture with the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS), and in partnership with major universities. In 2004, we added two well-located properties with 504 units to this portfolio, one next to Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and one adjoining the campus of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
Aimco Capital
      We are among the largest owners and operators of affordable properties in the United States. We formed Aimco Capital in 2002 to focus on our affordable housing properties, the operations of which are most often subsidized or financed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, state housing agencies or tax credit financing. Aimco Capital has organized its property operations and asset management under a management team dedicated to this sector. Aimco Capital operates its affordable properties through four ROCs. Affordable properties tend to have stable rents and occupancy due to government subsidies and thus are much less affected by market circumstances.
      Aimco Capital also generates income from asset management (compliance oversight for its owned and operated affordable portfolio as well as two other large portfolios that are asset managed only) and transactional activity related to its affordable holdings. Currently, Aimco Capital generates revenue primarily from: current asset management fees; deferred asset management fees; refinancing and disposition fees; developer fees; and syndication fees. In addition, Aimco Capital is exploring other sources of revenue related to the tax credit redevelopment process. We believe that Aimco Capital is well positioned as it has the national structure, knowledge and pipeline to grow as a more autonomous operation with dedicated capital.

Portfolio Management
Conventional
      We view our conventional property portfolio in terms of “core” and “non-core” properties. Core properties are those properties that are located in selected markets, many where population and employment growth are expected to exceed national trends and where we believe that we can become a regionally significant owner. We categorize core properties among: “preferred markets” — which are typically coastal, with high barriers to entry and home prices and median incomes above the national average; “growth markets” — which are typically in sunbelt regions with expectations of above average job growth; and “stable markets” — which are located in Midwest areas with limited new construction but also limited job growth. We intend to hold and improve core properties over the long-term and seek an allocation of properties among the above three categories in order to reduce volatility of our overall property operations. At December 31, 2004, we had 377 conventional core properties in 38 selected markets. Within our core portfolio, the largest single market (Washington, D.C.) contributed approximately 11%, and the five largest markets (Washington, D.C., greater Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and Miami-Fort Lauderdale) together contributed approximately 32%, to income before depreciation and interest expense, or net operating income. At December 31, 2004, we had 214 conventional non-core properties. Non-core properties are those properties located in 32 other markets or in less favored locations within the 38 selected markets, which we generally intend to hold for investment for the intermediate term. During 2005, we expect to exit an additional 10-12 markets and over the next several years we expect to exit the remaining markets in which we hold our non-core properties.
      Portfolio management includes expanding our core portfolio through acquisitions of properties located in selected markets throughout the United States. We specifically seek investments in a variety of asset qualities and types in the selected markets at a purchase price below replacement cost. Currently, we acquire properties and property interests primarily in three ways:
  •  the direct acquisition of a property or portfolio of properties;
 
  •  acquisition of a portfolio of properties through a purchase from, or a merger or business combination with, an entity that owns or controls the property or portfolio being acquired; and
 
  •  the purchase from third parties, subject to our fiduciary duties, of additional interests in partnerships where we own a general partnership interest. These are typically executed for cash or OP Units. Since 1996, we have completed over 2,800 tender offers with respect to various partnerships resulting in over 171,000 transactions totaling $891 million in cash paid and OP Units issued to purchase additional interests in such partnerships.
      In 2004, we completed direct acquisitions of 11 conventional core properties, containing approximately 1,880 residential units for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $361 million and acquired additional interests in 147 partnerships for approximately $50 million (including transaction costs).
      Portfolio management also includes dispositions of properties located in other markets, properties located in less desirable sub-markets or properties that do not meet our long-term investment criteria. Additionally, from time to time, we may dispose of certain core properties that are consistent with our long-term investment strategy but offer attractive returns, such as in sales to buyers who intend to convert the properties to condominiums. The sales of core and non-core properties partially fund our acquisitions. In 2004, we sold 40 non-core properties generating net cash proceeds to us, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, of $147 million. Additionally, in 2004, we sold seven core properties and one land parcel, generating net cash proceeds to us, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, of $338 million.
Aimco Capital
      The portfolio management strategy for Aimco Capital is similar to that of our Conventional portfolio. Aimco Capital seeks to dispose of properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy and Aimco Capital’s operations. During 2004, we sold 60 non-core properties from within the Aimco Capital portfolio,

6


Table of Contents

generating net cash proceeds to us, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, of $45 million. At December 31, 2004 within the Aimco Capital portfolio, we had 415 properties, of which approximately two-thirds were non-core properties, which we generally intend to hold for investment for the intermediate term. During 2005, we intend to sell approximately the same number of Aimco Capital properties as we sold in 2004.
Rezoning and Entitlements
      Rezoning and entitlements are another aspect of portfolio management. Rezoning and entitlements provide us the opportunity to enhance the value of our existing portfolio by obtaining local approvals required to add dwelling or residential units to a site, which should enable us to realize upside in land values through increasing density of use. To date, we have identified 12 properties with an aggregate value in excess of $700 million where we believe there exists this opportunity. These properties are typically well located and were built 30 or more years ago. These properties were built at lower densities than the local zoning laws currently provide.
Reinvestment in Properties
      We believe that the physical condition and amenities of our apartment properties are important factors in our ability to maintain and increase rental rates. In 2004, we spent $77.2 million, or $483 per owned apartment unit, for Capital Replacements, which are expenditures that represent the share of expenditures that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets. Additionally, we spent $82.4 million for Capital Improvements, which are non-redevelopment capital expenditures that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition.
      In addition to maintenance and improvements of our properties, we focus on the redevelopment of certain properties each year. We believe redevelopment of certain properties in superior locations provides advantages over ground-up development, enabling us to generate rents comparable to new properties with relatively lower financial risk, in less time and with reduced delays associated with governmental permits and authorizations. We undertake two types of redevelopment projects including: major projects, where a substantial number or all available units are vacated for significant renovations to the property; and moderate projects, where there is significant renovation, such as exteriors, common areas or unit improvements, typically done upon lease expirations without the need to vacate units on any wholesale or substantial basis. We have a specialized Redevelopment and Construction Services Group, which includes engineers, architects and construction managers, to oversee these projects. As of December 31, 2004, we had 34 projects at various stages of redevelopment, which included 10 properties for which redevelopment activities were complete but the property operations of which had not yet stabilized. Of the 24 active projects, 14 are conventional properties (one major project and 13 moderate projects) and 10 are affordable redevelopments. During 2004, redevelopment expenditures totaled $137 million, of which our share totaled $89 million. Redevelopment expenditures for our one active major project in Marietta, GA will be approximately $32.2 million (our share $18.4 million), of which approximately $11.3 million (our share $6.5 million) remains to be spent. Total redevelopment expenditures for our 13 active conventional moderate projects will be approximately $100.3 million (our share $75.2 million), of which approximately $81.5 million (our share $60.1 million) remains to be spent. Total redevelopment expenditures for our 10 affordable redevelopments will be approximately $106.0 million, of which approximately $54.3 million remains to be spent, most of which will be funded by third-party tax credit equity and tax-exempt debt. Additionally, we have four major projects, 25 moderate projects and seven affordable redevelopments under review for possible commencement in 2005.
Cost of Capital
      We are focused on minimizing our cost of capital. In 2004, we modified our credit facility and term debt, resulting in lower interest rate spreads, extended maturity dates, and more operating and financial covenant flexibility. We also refinanced $734 million in property debt at an average rate of 4.48% generating a savings of approximately 2.0% over prior rates. Additionally, we have reduced our cost of capital through the redemption of higher cost preferred securities with proceeds from the issuance of lower cost preferred securities.

Table of Contents

Productivity
      Over the past several years, we have had growth in our general and administrative spending as a result of the building of our infrastructure in certain areas in which we had needs, including, operational systems, information technology and other automation, human resources, and expanded accounting, legal, and financial planning and analysis functions. We are focused on containing this spending going forward through enhanced productivity and process improvements.
Taxation
      We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intend to continue to operate in such a manner. Our current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will generally not be subject to United States Federal corporate income tax on our taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from investment in a corporation.
      Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to United States Federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on our undistributed income. We also will be required to pay 100% tax on non-arms length transactions between us and a TRS (described below) and on any net income from sales of property that the Internal Revenue Service, IRS, successfully asserts was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course. We and our stockholders may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or our stockholders reside. Any taxes imposed on us would reduce our operating cash flow and net income. The state and local tax laws may not conform to the United States Federal income tax treatment.
      Certain of our operations (property management, asset management, risk, etc.) are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and as such is subject to United States Federal corporate income tax. We use the TRS format to facilitate our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.
Competition
      In attracting and retaining residents to occupy our properties we compete with numerous other housing alternatives. Our properties compete directly with other rental apartments, as well as with condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent or purchase in the markets in which our properties are located. Principal factors of competition include rent or price charged, attractiveness of the location and property and quality and breadth of services. The number of competitive properties in a particular area has a material effect on our ability to lease apartment units at our properties and on the rents we charge. Additionally, we compete with other real estate investors, including other apartment REITs, pension and investment funds, partnerships and investment companies in acquiring, redeveloping and managing apartment properties. This affects our ability to acquire properties we want to add to our portfolios and the price that we pay in such acquisitions.
Regulation
General
      Apartment properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, activity centers and other common areas. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, as well as changes in laws affecting development, construction and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our net income

and cash flows from operating activities. In addition, future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing may reduce rental revenue or increase operating costs in particular markets.
Environmental
      Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.
      We are aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We have a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from our properties. Our policy and procedures are based on guidelines established by various Federal, state and local bodies. We believe that our measures will eliminate, or at least minimize, the effects that mold could have on our residents. To date, we have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change we can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Insurance
      Our primary lines of insurance coverage are property, general liability and workers’ compensation. We believe that our insurance coverages adequately insure our properties against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood and other perils and adequately insure us against other risks. Our coverage includes deductibles, retentions and limits that are customary in the industry. We have established loss prevention, loss mitigation, claim handling, litigation management and loss reserving procedures to manage our exposure.
Employees
      We currently have approximately 6,800 employees, of which approximately 5,700 are at the property level, performing various on-site functions, with the balance managing corporate and regional operations, including investment and debt transactions, legal, financial reporting, accounting, information systems, human resources and other support functions. Unions represent approximately 200 of our employees. We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe we maintain satisfactory relations with our employees.
Risk Factors
      The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report, describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Changes in the real estate market may limit our ability to generate Funds From Operations.
      Our ability to make payments to our investors depends on our ability to generate Funds From Operations in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Funds From Operations and the value of our properties may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond our control, including:
  •  the general economic climate;
 
  •  competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;
 
  •  local conditions, such as an increase in unemployment or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates;
 
  •  changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;
 
  •  increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents;
 
  •  changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing;
 
  •  changes in interest rates and the availability of financing; and
 
  •  the relative illiquidity of real estate investments.
If we are not able successfully to acquire, operate, redevelop and expand properties, our growth and results of operations will be adversely affected.
      The selective acquisition, redevelopment and expansion of properties are one component of our growth strategy. However, we may not be able to complete successfully transactions in the future. Although we seek to acquire, operate, redevelop and expand properties only when such activities increase our net income on a per share basis, such transactions may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations. When we redevelop or expand properties, we are subject to the risks that:
  •  costs may exceed original estimates;
 
  •  occupancy and rental rates at the property may be below our projections;
 
  •  financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all;
 
  •  redevelopment and leasing of the properties may not be completed on schedule; and
 
  •  we may experience difficulty or delays in obtaining necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations.
We may have difficulty integrating any acquired businesses or properties.
      We have grown rapidly. Since our initial public offering in July 1994, we have completed numerous acquisition transactions, expanding our portfolio of owned or managed properties from 132 properties with 29,343 apartment units to 1,499 properties with 263,734 apartment units as of December 31, 2004. These acquisitions have included purchases of properties and interests in entities that own or manage properties, as well as corporate mergers. Our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and properties depends, among other things, on our ability to:
  •  attract and retain qualified personnel;
 
  •  integrate the personnel and operations of the acquired businesses;
 
  •  maintain standards, controls, procedures and policies; and
 
  •  maintain adequate accounting and information systems.

      We can provide no assurance that we will be able to accomplish these goals and successfully integrate any acquired businesses or properties. If we fail to integrate successfully such businesses, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may be subject to litigation associated with partnership acquisitions that could increase our expenses and prevent completion of beneficial transactions.
      We have engaged in, and intend to continue to engage in, the selective acquisition of interests in partnerships that own apartment properties. In some cases, we have acquired the general partner of a partnership and then made an offer to acquire the limited partners’ interests in the partnership. In these transactions, we may be subject to litigation based on claims that we, as the general partner, have breached our fiduciary duty to our limited partners or that the transaction violates the relevant partnership agreement or state law. Although we intend to comply with our fiduciary obligations and the relevant partnership agreements, we may incur additional costs in connection with the defense or settlement of this type of litigation. In some cases, this type of litigation may adversely affect our desire to proceed with, or our ability to complete, a particular transaction. Any litigation of this type could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our existing and future debt financing could render us unable to operate, result in foreclosure on our properties or prevent us from making distributions on our equity.
      Our strategy is generally to incur debt to increase the return on our equity while maintaining acceptable interest coverage ratios. We seek to maintain a ratio of free cash flow to combined interest expense and preferred stock dividends of greater than 2:1 and to match debt maturities to the character of the assets financed. For the year ended December 31, 2004, however, we had a ratio of free cash flow to combined interest expense and preferred stock dividends of 1.5:1, and this ratio in prior periods has also deviated from our goal. In addition, our Board of Directors could change this strategy at any time and increase our leverage. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of debt that we may incur, and we have significant amounts of debt outstanding. Payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties or pay distributions required to be paid in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We are also subject to the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we fail to make required payments of principal and interest on any debt, our lenders could foreclose on the properties securing such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to us. As of December 31, 2004, substantially all of the properties that we owned or controlled were encumbered by debt.
Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense.
      As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $1,533.2 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding. Based on this level of debt, an increase in interest rates of 1% would result in our income and cash flows being reduced by $15.3 million on an annual basis and could reduce our ability to service our indebtedness and make dividends or other distributions. Of the total debt subject to variable interest rates, floating rate tax-exempt bond financing was $741.8 million. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index, or the BMA Index, which since 1981 has averaged 52.1% of the 10-year Treasury Yield. If this relationship continues, an increase in the 10-year Treasury Yield, of 1% (0.52% in tax-exempt interest rates) would result in our income before minority interests and cash flows being reduced by $11.8 million on an annual basis.
Covenant restrictions may limit our ability to make payments to our investors.
      Some of our debt and other securities contain covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors unless certain financial tests or other criteria are satisfied. Our credit facility provides that we may make distributions to our investors during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount that does not exceed the greater of 95% of our Funds From Operations for such period or such amount as may be necessary to maintain our REIT status.

Table of Contents

      Our outstanding classes of preferred stock prohibit the payment of dividends on our Common Stock if we fail to pay the dividends to which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled. If we are unable to pay dividends on our Common Stock, we may fail to qualify as a REIT. This would subject us to corporate taxation and reduce our ability to make distributions to our investors.
We depend on distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries that they may be prohibited from making to us.
      All of our properties are owned, and all of our operations are conducted, by the Aimco Operating Partnership and our other subsidiaries. As a result, we depend on distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries in order to satisfy our financial obligations and make payments to our investors. The ability of our subsidiaries to make such distributions and other payments depends on their earnings and may be subject to statutory or contractual limitations. As an equity investor in our subsidiaries, our right to receive assets upon their liquidation or reorganization will be effectively subordinated to the claims of their creditors. To the extent that we are recognized as a creditor of such subsidiaries, our claims may still be subordinate to any security interest in or other lien on their assets and to any of their debt or other obligations that are senior to our claims.
Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in our incurrence of unanticipated expenses.
      Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to our properties, or restrict renovations of the properties. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, we may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA.
Affordable housing regulations may limit rent increases at some of our properties, reducing our revenue and, in some cases, causing us to sell properties that we might otherwise continue to own.
      As of December 31, 2004, we owned an equity interest in 415 affordable properties and managed for third parties and affiliates 409 properties that benefit from governmental programs intended to provide housing to people with low or moderate incomes. These programs, which are usually administered by HUD or state housing finance agencies, typically provide mortgage insurance, favorable financing terms or rental assistance payments to the property owners. As a condition of the receipt of assistance under these programs, the properties must comply with various requirements, which typically limit rents to pre-approved amounts. If permitted rents on a property are insufficient to cover costs, a sale of the property may become necessary, which could result in a loss of management fee revenue. We usually need to obtain the approval of HUD in order to manage, or acquire a significant interest in, a HUD-assisted property. We may not always receive such approval.
We depend on our senior management
      Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, including Terry Considine, our chief executive officer and president. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find qualified replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services were no longer available. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not currently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our employees. The loss of any member of senior management could adversely affect our ability to pursue effectively our business strategy.

We may fail to qualify as a REIT.
      We believe that we operate, and have always operated, in a manner that enables us to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, investment, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to manage successfully the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Moreover, the proper classification of an instrument as debt or equity for Federal income tax purposes may be uncertain in some circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT qualification requirements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not contend that our interests in subsidiaries or other issuers constitutes a violation of the REIT requirements. Moreover, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, or our Board of Directors may determine to revoke our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to our stockholders in computing our taxable income, and we will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. This would substantially reduce our funds available for payment to our investors. Unless entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, we also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT.
      In addition, our failure to qualify as a REIT would trigger the following consequences:
  •  we would be obligated to repurchase certain classes of our preferred stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of repurchase; and
 
  •  we would be in default under our primary credit facilities and certain other loan agreements.
REIT distribution requirements limit our available cash.
      As a REIT, we are subject to annual distribution requirements, which limit the amount of cash we retain for other business purposes, including amounts to fund our growth. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, in order for our distributed earnings not to be subject to corporate income tax. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell assets or borrow funds on a short-term or long-term basis to meet the 90% distribution requirement of the Code.
Legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us.
      The rules dealing with Federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the United States Treasury Department. Changes to the tax laws, which may have retroactive application, could adversely affect our investors or us. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect our investors or us. For example, under legislation effective January 1, 2001, if any of our taxable REIT subsidiaries were deemed to operate or manage a health care or lodging facility, we would fail to qualify as a REIT. Although we believe that, since January 1, 2001, none of our taxable REIT subsidiaries have operated or managed any health care or lodging facilities, the statute provides little guidance as to the definition of a health care or lodging facility. Accordingly, we cannot assure that the IRS will not contend that any of our taxable REIT subsidiaries operate or manage a health care or lodging facility, resulting in our disqualification as a REIT.
A reduction, in 2003, in the maximum tax rate applicable to dividends may make REIT investments less attractive.
      Tax legislation enacted in 2003 reduced (through 2008) the maximum tax rate for dividends payable to individuals from 38.6% to 15%. Dividends payable by REITs are generally not eligible for the reduced rates.

Table of Contents

Although this legislation does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the capital stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the capital stock of REITs, including our Common Stock. In addition, the relative attractiveness of real estate in general may be adversely affected by the newly favorable tax treatment given to corporate dividends, which could negatively affect the value of our real estate assets.
The FBI has issued alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving apartment buildings — a risk for which we are only partially insured.
      From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at our properties. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats of such activities could have on our business is uncertain and unpredictable. If we incur a loss at a property as a result of an act of terrorism, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the property. Since September 2001, our lenders have increased their scrutiny regarding terrorism exposure, and we have sometimes been required to purchase terrorism insurance. In all cases, we have purchased insurance that exceeds the minimum requirements of our lenders. Currently, these costs have not had a negative effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The market place for insurance coverage is uncertain and in some cases insurance is becoming more expensive and more difficult to obtain.
      The current insurance market is characterized by volatility with respect to premiums, deductibles and coverage. For certain types of coverage, such as property coverage, we are currently experiencing stable or declining premiums. For other types of coverage, however, such as liability and executive coverage, we continue to experience rising premiums, higher deductibles, and more restrictive coverage language. Although we make use of many alternative methods of risk financing that enable us to insulate ourselves to some degree from variations in coverage language and cost, sustained deterioration in insurance marketplace conditions may have a negative effect on our operating results.
Limits on ownership of shares in our charter may result in the loss of economic and voting rights by purchasers that violate those limits.
      Our charter limits ownership of our Common Stock by any single stockholder to 8.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. Our charter also limits ownership of our Common Stock and preferred stock by any single stockholder to 8.7% of the value of the outstanding Common Stock and preferred stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. The charter also prohibits anyone from buying shares of our capital stock if the purchase would result in us losing our REIT status. This could happen if a transaction results in fewer than 100 persons owning all of our shares of capital stock or results in five or fewer persons, applying certain attribution rules of the Code, owning 50% or more of the value of all of our shares of capital stock. If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit or in violation of the ownership requirements of the Code for REITs:
  •  the transfer will be considered null and void;
 
  •  we will not reflect the transaction on our books;
 
  •  we may institute legal action to enjoin the transaction;
 
  •  we may demand repayment of any dividends received by the affected person on those shares;
 
  •  we may redeem the shares;

14


Table of Contents

  •  the affected person will not have any voting rights for those shares; and
 
  •  the shares (and all voting and dividend rights of the shares) will be held in trust for the benefit of one or more charitable organizations designated by us.
      We may purchase the shares of capital stock held in trust at a price equal to the lesser of the price paid by the transferee of the shares or the then current market price. If the trust transfers any of the shares of capital stock, the affected person will receive the lesser of the price paid for the shares or the then current market price. An individual who acquires shares of capital stock that violate the above rules bears the risk that the individual:
  •  may lose control over the power to dispose of such shares;
 
  •  may not recognize profit from the sale of such shares if the market price of the shares increases;
 
  •  may be required to recognize a loss from the sale of such shares if the market price decreases; and
 
  •  may be required to repay to us any distributions received from us as a result of his or her ownership of the shares.
Our charter may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.
      The 8.7% ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of us by a third party without the consent of our Board of Directors. Our charter authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 510,587,500 shares of capital stock. As of December 31, 2004, 426,157,976 shares were classified as Common Stock and 84,429,524 shares were classified as preferred stock. Under our charter, our Board of Directors has the authority to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares of capital stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, rights, powers and restrictions as our Board of Directors may determine. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interests.
Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.
      As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various Maryland laws that may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General Corporation Law restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between us and any person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of our stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without our Board of Directors’ prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. Maryland law also provides generally that a person who acquires shares of our capital stock that represent 10% or more of the voting power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote. Additionally, Maryland law provides, among other things, that the board of directors has broad discretion in adopting stockholders’ rights plans and has the sole power to fix the record date, time and place for special meetings of the stockholders. In addition, Maryland law provides that corporations that:
  •  have at least three directors who are not employees of the entity or related to an acquiring person; and
 
  •  are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
may elect in their charter or bylaws or by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to all or part of a special subtitle that provides that:
  •  the corporation will have a staggered board of directors;
 
  •  any director may be removed only for cause and by the vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors generally, even if a lesser proportion is provided in the charter or bylaws;

15


Table of Contents

  •  the number of directors may only be set by the board of directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws;
 
  •  vacancies may only be filled by the remaining directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws; and
 
  •  the secretary of the corporation may call a special meeting of stockholders at the request of stockholders only on the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws.
      To date, we have not made any of the elections described above.

      At December 31, 2004, we owned an equity interest in and consolidated 676 properties containing 169,932 apartment units, which we refer to as “consolidated.” These consolidated properties contain, on average, 251 apartment units, with the largest property containing 2,899 apartment units. These properties offer residents a

range of amenities, including swimming pools, clubhouses, spas, fitness centers, tennis courts and saunas. Many of the apartment units offer design and appliance features such as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, washer and dryer hook-ups, cable television, balconies and patios. Additional information on our consolidated properties is contained in “Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” in this Annual Report. At December 31, 2004, we held an equity interest in and did not consolidate 330 properties containing 44,728 apartment units, which we refer to as “unconsolidated.” In addition, we provided property management services for third parties owning 72 properties containing 7,841 apartment units, and asset management services for third parties owning 421 properties containing 41,233 apartment units, although in certain cases we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the operations of such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund.
      Substantially all of our consolidated properties are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness. At December 31, 2004, our consolidated properties were encumbered by aggregate mortgage indebtedness totaling $5,604.7 million (not including $50.2 million of mortgage indebtedness included within liabilities related to assets held for sale), having an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 5.95%. Such mortgage indebtedness was secured by 648 properties with a combined net book value of $8,687.0 million. Included in the 648 properties, we had a total of 48 mortgage loans, with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $539.2 million, that were each secured by property and cross-collateralized with certain (but not all) other mortgage loans within this group of 48 mortgage loans. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information about our indebtedness.

      On February 28, 2005, the closing price of our Common Stock was $38.26 per share, as reported on the NYSE and there were 94,877,048 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held by 3,868 stockholders of record. The number of holders does not include individuals or entities who beneficially own shares but whose shares are held of record by a broker or clearing agency, but does include each such broker or clearing agency as one recordholder.
      As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to holders of common stock at least 90% of our “real estate investment trust taxable income,” which, as defined by the Code and United States Department of Treasury regulations, is generally equivalent to net taxable ordinary income. We measure our economic profitability and intend to pay regular dividends to our stockholders based on Funds From Operations, less Capital Replacements during the relevant period. Future payment of dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on numerous factors including our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the provisions of the Code applicable to REITs and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.
      From time to time, we issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for common and preferred OP Units tendered to the Aimco Operating Partnership for redemption in accordance with the terms and provisions of the agreement of limited partnership of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Such shares are issued based on an exchange ratio of one share for each common OP Unit or applicable conversion ratio for preferred OP Units. The shares are generally issued in exchange for OP Units in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, approximately 23,000 and 735,000 shares of Common Stock were issued in exchange for common OP Units. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, approximately 365 and 8,000 shares of Common Stock were issued in exchange for preferred OP Units.

Also, effective January 1, 2001, as a result of the REIT Modernization Act permitting REITs to own taxable REIT subsidiaries, we began consolidating our previously unconsolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. Prior to this date, we did not control such subsidiaries, which were accounted for under the equity method, and as a result, the periods prior to 2001 are not comparable.

Item 7.                     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
      We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the ownership, acquisition, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. Our property operations are characterized by diversification of product, location and price point. As of December 31, 2004, we owned or managed 1,499 apartment properties containing 263,734 units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our primary sources of income and cash are rents associated with apartment leases.
      The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Funds From Operations, or FFO; FFO less spending for Capital Replacements, or AFFO; same store property operating results; net operating income; net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. These terms are defined and described in the sections captioned “Funds From Operations” and “Capital Expenditures” below. The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that affect our financial condition and operating performance are: rates of job growth; unemployment rates; single-family and multifamily housing starts; and interest rates.
      Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our properties, the supply and demand for apartments substantially influences our results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our properties and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment properties can affect our operating results. Our cost of capital is affected by the conditions in the capital and credit markets and the terms that we negotiate for our equity and debt financings.
      We have grown rapidly over the past decade, and during the past three years our growth has moderated. During 2004, the apartment industry continued to face a challenging operating environment — job growth at a pace slower than anticipated, low interest rates and an abundant supply of housing alternatives. In addition, we experienced greater difficulty as compared to our peers because our property operating systems and structure were not as effective in meeting the challenges presented by the apartment markets. The effect of these operational challenges was mitigated by a favorable investment climate in which we were able to sell properties at attractive prices, generally higher than the cost of replacement.
      In response to this challenging operating environment and our specific operational issues, during late 2003 and throughout 2004 we adjusted our business strategies to compete successfully in challenging times and to be ready to maximize our opportunities as the economy improves. We focused on a number of areas related to improving operations, including those related to customer service, resident selection and retention, marketing, pricing, and operating cost management. Our resident selection initiatives designed to make our communities more desirable places to live and work, which drives better financial performance from higher and more stable occupancy levels, increased pricing power and reduced costs. In combination, our initiatives are resulting in improved customer service, better pricing decisions, increased resident quality, a focus on sales and marketing and higher employee satisfaction. Our revenue building initiatives are largely completed with processes in place for continued improvement in resident quality, pricing, sales and marketing.
      Our focus in 2005 will be to continue to increase revenue and work on cost management and productivity initiatives including centralizing purchasing, restructuring business processes, using technology to increase efficiency and implementing structured monthly reporting to identify issues and improve effectiveness of spending. We believe that our improvement efforts are working and have resulted in a positive trend in certain operating results and are the foundation for long-term benefits that we began to realize in the second half of 2004 and expect to continue throughout 2005 and beyond. These initiatives and others have also resulted in improved asset quality, and we will continue to seek opportunities to reinvest in our properties through capital expenditures and to manage our portfolio through property sales and acquisitions.
      The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.

Results of Operations
Overview
2004 compared to 2003
      We recognized net income of $263.5 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $174.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to net income of $158.9 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $65.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, increases of $104.6 million and $109.4 million, respectively. These increases were principally due to the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail within this section:
  •  an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate (including the gain recognized in discontinued operations and the gain related to unconsolidated entities and other); and
 
  •  an increase in activity fees and asset management revenues.
      These increases were partially offset by:
  •  an overall decline in net operating income, which included increases related to acquisitions and newly consolidated properties, offset by a decline in same store net operating results;
 
  •  an increase in general and administrative expenses;
 
  •  an increase in interest expense; and
 
  •  an increase in depreciation and amortization expense.
      The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting our results of operations in more detail.
2003 compared to 2002
      We recognized net income of $158.9 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $65.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to net income of $169.0 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $75.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, decreases of $10.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively. These decreases were principally due to the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail within this section:
  •  an overall decline in net operating income, which included increases related to acquisitions and newly consolidated properties, offset by a decline in same store net operating results;
 
  •  an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses;
 
  •  an increase in interest expense;
 
  •  a decrease in interest income; and
 
  •  a decrease in property management revenues.
      These decreases were partially offset by:
  •  an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate (including the gain recognized in discontinued operations and the gain relating to unconsolidated entities); and
 
  •  lower minority interest allocations as a result of lower property operating results.
Rental Property Operations
      Our operating income is primarily generated from the operations of our consolidated properties. The principal components within our total consolidated property operations are: consolidated same store properties, which consist of all conventional properties that were owned, stabilized and consolidated for all comparable periods presented; and other consolidated entities, which include acquisition, newly consolidated, affordable and redevelopment properties.

      The following table summarizes the overall performance of our consolidated properties for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Net operating income
  $ 732,846     $ 751,330     $ 723,429  
                   
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, net operating income for our consolidated property operations decreased by $18.5 million, or 2.5%. This decrease was principally due to a $40.3 million decrease in consolidated same store net operating income (see further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results”). Additionally, there was a $6.6 million decrease related to net casualty losses and other costs primarily resulting from hurricanes and tropical storms in the third quarter of 2004, which damaged over 100 of our properties and $4.0 million in higher property management costs. These decreases were offset by an $18.2 million increase related to operations of newly consolidated properties, which are properties that had been previously unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method (42 properties first consolidated in 2004, which includes 24 properties that were consolidated due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, and 12 properties that were first consolidated after the first quarter of 2003) and a $16.0 million increase related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of The Palazzo at Park La Brea and 10 other properties purchased in 2004, and three properties purchased in 2003.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, net operating income for our consolidated property operations increased by $27.9 million, or 3.9%. This increase was principally due to $62.2 million related to operations of newly consolidated properties (19 properties first consolidated in 2003 and 78 properties first consolidated in 2002) and $34.6 million related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of three properties purchased in 2003, 115 properties acquired in the March 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc., 11 properties acquired in the August 2002 acquisition of New England area properties, and two properties purchased in 2002. This was partially offset by a $71.1 million decrease in consolidated same store net operating income (see further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results”).
Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results
      Same store operating results is a key indicator we use to assess the performance of our property operations and to understand the period over period operations of a consistent portfolio of properties. We define “same store” properties as conventional properties in which our ownership interest exceeds 10% and the operations of which are stabilized for all periods presented. To ensure comparability, the information for all periods shown is based on current period ownership. The following table summarizes the conventional rental property operations on a “same store” basis (which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP)

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, our share of same store net operating income decreased $27.9 million, or 5.4%. Revenues decreased $6.8 million, or 0.8%, primarily due to lower occupancy (down 1.6%), and slightly lower average rent (down $1 per unit), offset by higher utility reimbursements from residents and lower bad debt expense. Expenses increased by $21.1 million, or 5.5%, primarily due to: an increase of $18.9 million in compensation and benefit expense related to a new employee health plan, merit increases and increased staffing levels; an increase of $3.7 million in utilities due to the increase in the cost of natural gas; and an increase of $3.9 million in marketing and administrative expenses associated with our efforts to increase occupancy. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property taxes related to successful appeals and changes in estimates related to assessments.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, our share of same store net operating income decreased $73.0 million, or 12.4%. Revenues decreased $34.7 million, or 3.7%, primarily due to lower average rent (down $19 per unit), lower occupancy (down 0.9%), and increased bad debt. Expenses increased by $38.3 million, or 11.2%, primarily due to: an increase of $10.1 million in turnover, marketing and administrative costs in 2003 related to focused efforts to improve property appearance and the condition of units ready to be occupied; $9.6 million in contract services and repairs and maintenance primarily driven by seasonal factors such as landscaping and snow removal due to more severe winter conditions in 2003 than in 2002; $6.0 million in utilities due to the increase in the cost of natural gas, electric, water and sewer; and $4.8 million in property hazard insurance due to increased casualty losses.
Property Management
      We earn income from property management primarily from unconsolidated real estate partnerships for which we are the general partner. The income is primarily in the form of fees generated through property management and other associated activities. Our revenue from property management decreases as we consolidate real estate partnerships and the income generated is therefore eliminated in consolidation. We expect this trend to continue as we increase our ownership in more of these partnerships or otherwise determine that consolidation is required by GAAP. Additionally, our revenue decreases as properties within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships are sold. Offsetting the revenue earned in property management are the direct expenses associated with property management.

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, net operating income from property management decreased by $6.6 million, or 22.2%. For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, net operating income from property management decreased by $19.3 million, or 39.3%. In both periods the decreases were principally due to an increase in consolidated real estate partnerships, which required elimination of fee income and associated property operating expense related to such partnerships, and the sales of properties within our unconsolidated partnerships (53 properties in 2004 and 37 properties in 2003) that had previously generated property management revenues.
Activity Fees and Asset Management
      Activity fees are generated from transactional activity including dispositions, syndications, tax credit redevelopments and refinancings. These transactions occur on varying timetables, thus the income generated may vary from period to period. The majority of these fees are generated by transactions related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio. Asset management revenue is from the financial management of properties, rather than management of day-to-day property operations. Asset management revenue includes deferred asset management fees that are recognized once a transaction or improvement in operations has occurred to generate available cash. Offsetting the revenue earned in activity fees and asset management are the direct expenses associated with these activities.
      The following table summarizes the overall performance of our activity fees and asset management for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Net operating income from activity fees and asset management
  $ 22,999     $ 11,831     $ 11,875  
                   
      Included in the activity fees and asset management revenues, primarily from affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, were $30.3 million, $18.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of fees related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $11.2 million, or 94.4%. This overall increase was principally a result of increased activity fees related to disposition, refinancing and developer activities of $7.3 million, $2.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, due to a greater number of transactions in 2004 than in 2003. Additionally, there was an increase of $2.9 million related to the recognition of deferred asset management fees resulting from closed transactions and improved operations. These increases were offset by a $2.1 million decrease related to syndication fees and $3.4 million in higher expenses associated with these activities.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, net operating income from activity fees and asset management decreased by $0.04 million. This overall decrease was principally a result of decreased activity fees related to disposition and refinancing activities of $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, due to a fewer number of transactions in 2003 than in 2002. Additionally, there was a decrease of $3.5 million related to the recognition of deferred asset management fees resulting from fewer closed

transactions in 2003. These decreases were offset by a $6.6 million increase related to syndication fees and lower expenses of $1.4 million associated with these activities.
Depreciation and Amortization
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, depreciation and amortization increased $37.2 million, or 11.2%. This increase was principally due to $11.3 million and $7.2 million of additional depreciation related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties, respectively, as well as $10.5 million from the completion of certain redevelopment properties. Additionally, $7.1 million of the increase resulted from additional depreciation on certain assets where, based on a periodic review, the estimated useful lives were reduced.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, depreciation and amortization increased $63.5 million, or 23.7%. This increase was principally due to $23.4 million and $23.5 million of additional depreciation related to the acquisition properties and the newly consolidated properties, respectively, as well as $12.3 million of additional depreciation related to new capital spending on same store properties. Additionally, amortization of intangibles increased $2.7 million as a result of additional amortization recognized due to the termination of certain management contracts acquired in the Casden Transactions.
General and Administrative Expenses
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $29.4 million, or 60.5%. This increase was principally due to: $15.5 million in higher compensation related to increased staffing levels, merit increases and variable compensation; $7.7 million related to increased health insurance costs and the effect of a favorable change in 2003 related to our accrual for insurance claims incurred but not reported (IBNR); $3.2 million in increased amortization of restricted stock and stock option compensation; and $3.1 million in legal costs and compliance costs primarily related to the internal control reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat decreasing $0.4 million, or 0.8%. This decrease was principally due to: $6.0 million related to lower health insurance costs and the effect of a favorable change in our IBNR accrual in 2003; and $2.9 million in lower salaries, primarily related to lower variable compensation. These decreases were offset by an $8.7 million increase in consulting fees associated with the implementation of site level software and legal fees.
Other Expenses (Income), Net
      Other expenses (income), net includes tax provision/benefit, franchise taxes, risk management activities related to our unconsolidated partnerships and partnership expenses.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, other expenses (income), net changed $9.7 million from income of $6.3 million in 2003 to expense of $3.4 million in 2004. This change was principally due to a $10.8 million lower tax benefit recognized in 2004 as compared to 2003, due primarily to an $8.0 million benefit related to the reversal of a deferred income tax asset valuation allowance (see further discussion in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). In the year ended December 31, 2004, there was a tax benefit of $7.2 million recorded, as compared to $18.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2003.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, other expenses (income), net changed $8.3 million from expense of $2.0 million in 2002 to income of $6.3 million in 2003. This change was principally due to a $15.1 million higher tax benefit recognized in 2003 as compared to 2002, partially offset by $2.4 million in higher franchise taxes and $1.3 million in decreased risk operations due to increased legal expenses. In the year ended December 31, 2003, there was a tax benefit of $18.0 million recorded, as compared to $2.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. See discussion above on the 2003 tax activity.

Interest Income
      Interest income consists primarily of interest and accretion on general partner notes receivable from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Transactions that result in accretion occur on varying timetables and thus the income generated may vary from period to period.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, interest income increased $7.6 million, or 30.8%. This increase was principally a result of $5.0 million in higher interest due from general partner notes receivable, and $3.0 million in higher accretion income.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, interest income decreased $51.6 million, or 67.5%. This decrease was principally a result of: $33.5 million in reduced accretion income; $11.1 million in lower interest due from general partner notes receivable resulting from the consolidation of real estate partnerships, and therefore the elimination of interest income, as well as the collection of outstanding notes receivable; and $7.7 million related to gain recognized in second quarter 2002 on the sale of certain tax-exempt bonds.
Recovery of (Provision for) Losses on Notes Receivable
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, recovery of (provision for) losses on notes receivable changed $3.9 million from a provision of $2.2 million in 2003 to a recovery of $1.8 million in 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, provision for losses on notes receivable decreased $6.8 million.
      The provision or recovery in each period was determined based on our periodic review of the collectibility of each loan made to affiliated partnerships within our loan receivable portfolio as well as actual cash collections. We continue to monitor these loans and assess the collectibility of each loan on a periodic basis and record provisions as necessary based on the projected operating cash flows of the underlying real estate assets.
Interest Expense
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $24.8 million, or 7.3%. This increase was principally due to: $9.9 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to the newly consolidated properties; $9.6 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to acquisition properties; and a $4.7 million decrease in capitalized interest due to redevelopment properties being placed in service. Additionally, an $8.8 million increase related to the credit facility and term loan (of which $1.8 million was associated with the write-off of deferred loan costs related to the November 2004 modification of the credit facility and term loan and $0.8 million related to the payoff of the indebtedness incurred to complete the Casden Transactions) due to higher average principal balances along with a higher weighted average interest rate. The November 2004 modification reduced the spread over LIBOR by an average of 1.25%, which will favorably impact interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and $300 million term loan. These increases were partially offset by lower weighted average effective interest rates on mortgage debt due to refinancings that occurred in 2003 and 2004.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, interest expense increased $47.0 million, or 16.0%. This increase was principally due to $26.6 million and $21.3 million of additional interest on the debt related to the newly consolidated properties and the acquisition properties, respectively.
Deficit Distributions to Minority Partners
      When real estate partnerships consolidated in our financial statements make cash distributions to partners in excess of the carrying amount of the minority interest, we record a charge equal to the amount of such distribution, even though there is no economic effect or cost.

28


Table of Contents

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, deficit distributions to minority partners decreased $4.6 million, or 20.4%. For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, deficit distributions to minority partners decreased $4.9 million, or 17.8%. Each of these decreases were due to reduced levels of distributions being made by the consolidated real estate partnerships as a result of lower refinancing activity and decreased operating results, as well as our increased ownership of such partnerships.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate partnerships decreased $4.7 million, or 72.5%. This decrease in loss was principally the result of increased ownership in certain unconsolidated partnerships and better property operating results at certain properties.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate partnerships changed $7.1 million from equity in earnings of $0.7 million in 2002 to equity in losses of $6.4 million in 2003. This increase was principally the result of the purchase of equity interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships that resulted in these properties becoming consolidated. Such real estate partnerships owned better performing properties that are now contributing to consolidated rental revenues and expenses. In addition, the remaining properties within unconsolidated real estate partnerships had decreased earnings driven by lower property operating results in 2003 than in 2002.
Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Real Estate Related to Unconsolidated Entities and Other
      Gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other includes our share of gain related to dispositions of real estate within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, gain on dispositions of non-depreciable assets and costs related to asset disposal activities. Gains (losses) on properties sold are determined on a property-by-property basis and are not comparable period to period.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other increased $65.5 million. This increase was principally due to a $34.6 million gain on the sale of a parcel of land located in Florida, and $17.4 million gain from the sale of one of our unconsolidated core properties.
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other increased $25.5 million. Included in 2002 was a loss of approximately $28.0 million that resulted primarily from a change in estimate due to better insight into information related to the finalization of the recording of purchase price accounting to appropriate entities acquired in past acquisitions and the related historical estimation process in determining the carrying value of assets sold. The recognition of this amount in 2002 was considered to be a change in estimate associated with the historical estimated gain or loss on the sale of these properties. The recognition of this change in estimate resulted in a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Minority Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships changed $17.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships changed $13.5 million. The changes in both periods were principally a result of decreased earnings caused by lower property operating results than in the prior year.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net
      For properties accounted for as held for sale, the results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are required to be classified as discontinued operations. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include all property-

29


Table of Contents

related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, property-specific interest expense to the extent there is secured debt on the property and the associated minority interest. In addition, any impairment losses on assets held for sale, and the net gain on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported as discontinued operations.
      For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, income from discontinued operations, net totaled $211.8 million, $94.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively, which includes income from operations of $6.6 million, $15.4 million and $35.6 million, respectively. In 2004, the income from operations included 68 properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2004. In 2003 and 2002, the income from operations included 140 properties and 182 properties, respectively, that were sold or classified as held for sale in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Due to varying number of properties and the timing of sales, the income from operations is not comparable year to year.
      During 2004, we sold 54 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $233.9 million (which is net of $16.0 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $7.3 million in impairment losses on assets sold or held for sale in 2004. During 2003, we sold 72 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $89.7 million (which is net of $12.1 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $9.0 million in impairment losses on assets sold or held for sale in 2003. During 2002, we sold 42 properties, resulting in a net loss on sale of approximately $8.5 million (including $2.5 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $2.9 million in impairment losses on assets sold or held for sale in 2002.
      Gains (losses) on properties sold are determined on a property-by-property basis and are not comparable period to period. See Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for more details on discontinued operations.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
      On March 31, 2004, we recorded a $4.0 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the adoption of FIN 46. This charge is attributable to our recognition of cumulative losses allocable to minority interest that would otherwise have resulted in minority interest deficits. See Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
      We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
      Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.
      Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our real estate investments. These factors include:
  •  the general economic climate;
 
  •  competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;
 
  •  local conditions, such as an increase in unemployment or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates;
 
  •  changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;

30


Table of Contents

  •  increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents;
 
  •  changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing;
 
  •  changes in market capitalization rates; and
 
  •  the relative illiquidity of such investments.
      Any adverse changes in these factors could cause an impairment in our long-lived assets, including real estate, goodwill and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, we have determined that the carrying amount for our properties to be held and used is recoverable and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses related to such properties during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Notes Receivable and Interest Income Recognition
      Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of subordinated notes receivable from partnerships in which we are the general partner. The ultimate repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value of the underlying real estate property and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders. Our notes receivable include loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes,” and loans extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”
      We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of interest. We record income on such nonaccrual loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts are recognized as income.
      We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has entered into certain closed or pending transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other discounted notes using the cost recovery method. For the year ended December 31, 2004, if we had not been able to complete certain transactions, our accretion income would have decreased by $6.3 million ($0.06 per basic and diluted share). Accretion income recognized in any given period is based on our ability to complete transactions to monetize the notes receivable and the difference between the carrying value and the estimated collectible value of the notes; therefore, accretion income varies on a period by period basis and could be lower or higher than in prior periods.
Allowance for Losses on Notes Receivable
      We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate.
      During the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $1.8 million in net recovery of impairment losses on notes receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we identified and recorded

31


Table of Contents

$2.2 million, and $9.0 million in impairment losses on notes receivable (net of recoveries), respectively. We will continue to evaluate the collectibility of these notes, and we may adjust related allowances in the future due to changes in market conditions and other factors.
Capitalized Costs
      We capitalize direct and allocable indirect costs (including salaries, interest, real estate taxes and other costs) incurred in connection with redevelopment, Capital Improvement and Capital Replacement activities. We charge to expense as incurred indirect costs that do not relate to the above activities, including general and administrative expenses. The amounts capitalized depend on the volume and costs of such activities. Based on the level of capital spending during the year ended December 31, 2004, if capital activities had increased or decreased during the period by 10%, our income before minority interest would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $5.1 million. See further discussion under the heading “Capital Expenditures.”
Funds From Operations
      Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial data determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the guidance set forth by NAREIT’s April 1, 2002 White Paper, which we refer to as the White Paper. We calculate FFO (diluted) by subtracting redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock, adding back dividends/ distributions on dilutive preferred securities and adding back the interest expense on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred securities. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts.

(1)  Represents our numerator for earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
(2)  Includes amortization of management contracts where we are the general partner. Such management contracts were established in certain instances where we acquired a general partner interest in either a consolidated or an unconsolidated partnership. Because the recoverability of these management contracts

depends primarily on the operations of the real estate owned by the limited partnerships, we believe it is consistent with the White Paper to add back such amortization, as the White Paper directs the add-back of amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry.
 
(3)  “Minority partners’ interest,” means minority interest in our consolidated real estate partnerships.
 
(4)  In accordance with GAAP, deficit distributions to minority partners are charges recognized in our income statement when cash is distributed to a non-controlling partner in a consolidated real estate partnership in excess of the positive balance in such partner’s capital account, which is classified as minority interest on our balance sheet. We record these charges for GAAP purposes even though there is no economic effect or cost. Deficit distributions to minority partners occur when the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeds its depreciated net book value because the underlying real estate has appreciated or maintained its value. As a result, the recognition of expense for deficit distributions to minority partners represents, in substance, either (a) our recognition of depreciation previously allocated to the non-controlling partner or (b) a cost related to the non-controlling partner’s share of real estate appreciation. Based on White Paper guidance that requires real estate depreciation and gains to be excluded from FFO, we add back deficit distributions and subtract related recoveries in our reconciliation of net income to FFO.
 
(5)  Represents our denominator for earnings per common share — diluted calculated in accordance with GAAP plus additional common share equivalents that are dilutive for FFO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of additional funds through working capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective working capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from property sales and proceeds from refinancings of existing mortgage loans and borrowings under new mortgage loans.
      Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to partners, and acquisitions of, and investments in, properties. We use our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that the cash provided by operating activities is not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity demands, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from property sales and refinancings, to help us meet our short-term liquidity demands. We use our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations.
      At December 31, 2004, we had $105.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $9.1 million from December 31, 2003, which cash is principally from sales and refinancing transactions that has yet to be distributed or applied to the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). At December 31, 2004, we had $282.0 million of restricted cash (including $12.6 million of restricted cash that is included within Assets Held for Sale), primarily consisting of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by partnerships that are not presented on a consolidated basis. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 8.
Operating Activities
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net cash provided by operating activities of $365.5 million was primarily from operating income from our consolidated properties, which is determined by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of properties. This decreased $98.4 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2003, driven primarily by lower property operating results.

Investing Activities
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net cash provided by investing activities of $336.9 million primarily resulted from proceeds received from sales of properties, offset by the acquisition of The Palazzo at Park La Brea and several other properties (see Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further information on acquisitions), as well as investments in our existing real estate assets through capital spending (see further discussion on capital expenditures under the heading “Capital Expenditures”).
      Although we hold all of our properties for investment, we sell properties when they do not meet our investment criteria or are located in areas that we believe do not justify our continued investment when compared to alternative uses for our capital. In the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold 54 consolidated properties, three consolidated land parcels, and 53 unconsolidated properties. These properties were sold for an aggregate sales price of $1.4 billion, of which $1.0 billion related to the consolidated properties and land parcels. The sale of the consolidated properties generated proceeds totaling $971.6 million, after the payment of transaction costs. Our share of the total net proceeds from the sale of the 107 properties and three land parcels, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $530.3 million, of which $60.9 million related to the unconsolidated properties. Of the $60.9 million, $39.0 million was received as of December 31, 2004, and was included in our distributions received from investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. These proceeds were used to repay a portion of our outstanding short-term indebtedness, redeem preferred securities, and for other corporate purposes.
      We are currently marketing for sale certain properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, from time to time, we may market certain properties that are consistent with our long-term investment strategy but offer attractive returns, such as sales to buyers who intend to convert the properties to condominiums. Gross sales proceeds from 2005 dispositions are expected to be $500 million to $550 million, and we plan to use such proceeds to reduce debt, fund capital expenditures on existing assets, fund property and partnership acquisitions, and for other operating needs and corporate purposes.
Financing Activities
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in financing activities of $711.5 million primarily related to payments on our secured notes payable, the repayment in full of the term loan we entered into in connection with the Casden Transactions, payment of our dividends, and the full or partial redemptions of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities, the Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Class N Cumulative Preferred Stock. These were offset by proceeds from the issuance of Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Y Cumulative Preferred Stock and mortgage loans (see notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further details on these activities).
Mortgage Debt
      At December 31, 2004, we had $5.6 billion in consolidated mortgage debt outstanding as compared to $5.2 billion outstanding at December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we refinanced or closed mortgage loans on 38 consolidated properties generating $444.3 million of proceeds from borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 4.03%. Our share of the net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $120.2 million. In addition, we closed mortgage loans on 22 unconsolidated properties, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.04%. Our share of the net proceeds from these 22 mortgage loans totaled $26.2 million and are included in our distributions received from investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships within investing activities. We used our total net proceeds from all loans closed of $146.4 million to repay existing short-term debt and for other corporate purposes. In 2005, we intend to continue to refinance mortgage debt to generate proceeds in amounts exceeding our scheduled amortizations and maturities.
      During the year ended December 31, 2004, we closed five mortgage loans totaling $126.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.40%, to finance our acquisitions.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
      On November 2, 2004, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement, with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement replaced our previous two separate credit agreements. The original aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement is $750 million, comprised of $450 million of revolving loan commitments and a $300 million term loan tranche. Proceeds from the term loan made on the closing date were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under our previous loan facilities and for other corporate purposes. Proceeds from the revolving loans made on the closing date were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the previous loan facilities. The term loan matures on November 2, 2009 and the revolving loans mature on November 2, 2007. See Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for detailed information on the Credit Agreement.
      At December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan was $300.0 million at an interest rate of 4.18% (based on LIBOR plus 2.00%). The proceeds of future term loans are generally permitted to be used to fund general working capital and other corporate purposes.
      At December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans was $68.7 million at an interest rate of 4.64% (based on various weighted average LIBOR and base rate borrowings outstanding with various maturities). The amount available under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2004 was $358.2 million (after giving effect to $23.1 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility). The proceeds of future revolving loans are generally permitted to be used to fund working capital and for other corporate purposes.
      Additionally, during 2004, we repaid $104.4 million of indebtedness that was incurred in connection with the Casden Transactions.
Equity Transactions
      During the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued $522.5 million of new preferred securities with rates ranging from 7.75% to 8.5%. With proceeds from these issuances, we redeemed or exchanged $336.2 million of outstanding preferred securities with rates ranging from 8.75% to 9.00%. Additionally, we redeemed all outstanding shares of Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for $98.9 million (see Notes 7 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8).
      Under our shelf registration, which was declared effective in April 2004, we had approximately $877 million of debt and equity securities available and the Aimco Operating Partnership had $500 million of debt available as of December 31, 2004 (see Notes 12 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further details on the shelf registration statement and preferred securities). We intend to continue to issue preferred securities in both public offerings and private placements to generate proceeds that we will use to redeem higher cost preferred securities, to finance acquisitions of real estate interests and for other corporate purposes.
      Our Board of Directors has, from time to time and most recently in 2001, authorized us to repurchase shares of our outstanding capital stock. Currently, we are authorized to repurchase up to a total of approximately 1.5 million shares of either our Common Stock or preferred stock. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to applicable law. On February 18, 19 and 24, 2004, we purchased in the open market 30,000, 60,000 and 20,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an average price per share of approximately $32.03, $32.17 and $31.26, respectively. Additionally, on February 24, 2004, we completed the purchase of 287,272 shares of Common Stock at a price of $31.60 per share in a privately negotiated transaction.
      The dividend paid in February 2005 of $0.60 per share represents a distribution of 120% of diluted Adjusted Funds From Operations, which we refer to as AFFO, and 83% of diluted FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Table of Contents

Capital Expenditures
      Effective January 1, 2004, we classify all capital spending as Capital Replacements (which we refer to as CR), Capital Improvements (which we refer to as CI) or redevelopment. We believe the new classifications are simpler to apply, allow more discrete differentiation between categories, facilitate sound economic decisions, and assist investors and analysts in better understanding our capital spending.
      Non-redevelopment capitalizable expenditures are apportioned between CR and CI based on the useful life of the capital item under consideration and the period we have owned the property (i.e., the portion that was consumed during our ownership of the item represents CR; the portion of the item that was consumed prior to our ownership represents CI).
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, we spent a total of $77.2 million on CR. These are expenditures that represent the share of expenditures that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we spent a total of $82.4 million and $88.8 million, respectively, on CI and redevelopment. CI expenditures represent all non-redevelopment capital expenditures that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition, and redevelopment expenditures represent expenditures that substantially upgrade the property.

(1)  Mandatorily redeemable preferred securities were fully redeemed on January 11, 2005 (see Note 22 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further information).
 
(2)  Of the $485.5 million total: $201 million was associated with our commitment to purchase Westwood (a commitment entered into in connection with the Casden Transactions), which commitment was extinguished on January 3, 2005; and $199 million was associated with our commitment to acquire the Palazzo East at Park La Brea (a commitment entered into in connection with the Casden Transactions), which transaction was completed on February 28, 2005. As a result, as of February 28, 2005 the total remaining commitment to purchase real estate is $85.5 million. See Notes 9 and 22 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
 
(3)  The development fee payments above were established in connection with the Casden Transactions and our commitment as it relates to the Casden Development Company, LLC. We agreed to pay $2.5 million per quarter for five years (up to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million) to Casden Development Company, LLC as a retainer on account for redevelopment services on our assets.
Future Capital Needs
      In addition to the items set forth in “Contractual Obligations” above, we expect to fund any future acquisitions, additional redevelopment projects and capital improvements principally with proceeds from property sales (including tax-free exchange proceeds), short-term borrowings, debt and equity financings and operating cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
      We own general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which interests were acquired through portfolio acquisitions, individual property purchases and separate offers to other limited partners. Our total ownership interests in these unconsolidated real estate partnerships ranges typically from less than 1% to 50%. However, based on the provisions of the related partnership agreements, which grant varying degrees of control, we are not deemed to have control of these partnerships sufficient to require or permit consolidation for accounting purposes. The requirement or ability to consolidate a real estate partnership is determined by FIN 46 (see Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). There are no lines of credit, side agreements, or any other derivative financial instruments related to or between our unconsolidated real estate partnerships and us and no material exposure to financial guarantees (see Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). Accordingly, our maximum risk of loss related to these unconsolidated real estate partnerships is limited to the aggregate carrying amount of our investment in the unconsolidated real estate partnerships and any outstanding notes receivable as reported in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 4

of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our unconsolidated real estate partnerships.
Item 7A.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      Our primary market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or any other material market rate or price risks. We use predominantly long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse mortgage debt in order to avoid the refunding and repricing risks of short-term borrowings. We use short-term debt financing and working capital primarily to fund short-term uses and acquisitions and generally expect to refinance such borrowings with cash from operating activities, property sales proceeds, long-term debt or equity financings.
      We had $1,533.2 million of floating rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2004. Of the total floating rate debt, the major components were floating rate tax-exempt bond financing ($741.8 million), floating rate secured notes ($422.7 million), revolving loans ($68.7 million), and the term loan ($300.0 million). Based on this level of debt, an increase in interest rates of 1% would result in our income before minority interests and cash flows being reduced by $15.3 million on an annual basis. Historically, changes in tax-exempt interest rates have been at a ratio of less than 1:1 with changes in taxable interest rates. Floating rate tax-exempt bond financing is benchmarked against the BMA Index, which since 1981 has averaged 52.1% of the 10-year Treasury Yield. If this relationship continues, an increase in the 10-year Treasury Yield, of 1% (0.52% in tax-exempt interest rates) would result in our income before minority interests and cash flows being reduced by $11.8 million on an annual basis. At December 31, 2004, we had $4,455.2 million of fixed-rate debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2003, based on our level of floating rate debt of $1,599.0 million, an increase in interest rates of 1% would have resulted in our income before minority interests and cash flows being reduced by $16.0 million on an annual basis. The potential reduction of income before minority interests and cash flows due to an increase in interest rates decreased $0.7 million for 2004 compared to 2003 due to lower floating rate balances resulting from the redemption of Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and repayment of a portion of the term loan.
      We believe that the fair value of our floating rate secured tax-exempt bond debt and floating rate secured long-term debt as of December 31, 2004 approximate their carrying values. The fair value for our fixed-rate debt agreements were estimated based on the quoted market rate for the same or similar issues. The combined carrying amount of our fixed-rate secured tax-exempt bonds and fixed rate secured notes payable at December 31, 2004 was $4.4 billion compared to the computed fair value of $4.8 billion (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8).
      As of December 31, 2004, the scheduled principal amortization and maturity payments for our consolidated secured notes payable and consolidated secured tax-exempt bonds were as follows (dollars in thousands):
                                 
    Amortization   Maturities   Total   Percentage

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
      Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
      Management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
  •  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
      Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
      Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, the company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Stockholders and Board of Directors of Apartment Investment and Management Company
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Apartment Investment and Management Company (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Apartment Investment and Management Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Apartment Investment and Management Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Apartment Investment and Management Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Apartment Investment and Management Company at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2004 the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Apartment Investment and Management Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004
Note 1 — Organization
      Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. As of December 31, 2004, we owned or managed a real estate portfolio of 1,499 apartment properties containing 263,734 apartment units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Based on apartment unit data compiled by the National Multi Housing Council, as of December 31, 2004, we were the largest REIT owner and operator of apartment properties in the United States.
      As of December 31, 2004, we:
  •  owned an equity interest in and consolidated 169,932 units in 676 properties (which we refer to as “consolidated”), of which 169,276 units were also managed by us;
 
  •  owned an equity interest in and did not consolidate 44,728 units in 330 properties (which we refer to as “unconsolidated”), of which 38,129 units were also managed by us; and
 
  •  provided services or managed, for third-party owners, 49,074 units in 493 properties, primarily pursuant to long-term agreements (including 41,233 units in 421 properties that are asset managed only, and not also property managed), although in certain cases we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the operations of such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund.
      Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2004, we held approximately a 90% interest in the common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all of our assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as “OP Units.” OP Units include common OP Units, partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units, and high performance partnership units, or High Performance Units. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of common OP Units based on the weighted average number of common OP Units outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership records the issuance of common OP Units and the assets acquired in purchase transactions based on the market price of Aimco’s Class A Common Stock at the date of execution of the purchase contract. The holders of the common OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of Aimco Class A Common Stock. Holders of common OP Units may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Aimco Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the weighted average ownership interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership held by the common OP Unit holders was 10%, 11%, and 13%, respectively. Preferred OP Units entitle the holders thereof to a preference with respect to distributions or upon liquidation. At December 31, 2004, 94,853,696 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 10,840,754 common OP Units and equivalents outstanding for a combined total of 105,694,450 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding preferred OP Units).
      Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company. Interests held in consolidated real estate partnerships by limited partners other than us are reflected as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets of consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership.
      As a result of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, as of March 31, 2004, we consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. See below for additional information about the adoption of FIN 46.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Interpretation No. 46
      As of March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46 and applied its requirements to all entities in which we hold a variable interest. FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary generally is the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.
      Upon adoption of FIN 46, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of 27 previously unconsolidated and five previously consolidated VIEs. These VIEs consisted of partnerships that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 29 apartment properties with 3,478 units. The initial consolidation of the previously unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2004 resulted in an increase in our consolidated total assets (primarily real estate), liabilities (primarily indebtedness) and minority interest of approximately $113.5 million, $90.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively. We recorded a charge of approximately $4.0 million for the cumulative effect on retained earnings resulting from the adoption of FIN 46. This charge is attributable to our recognition of cumulative losses allocable to minority interests that would otherwise have resulted in minority interest deficits.
      As of December 31, 2004, we were the primary beneficiary of and consolidated 39 VIEs, which owned 35 apartment properties with 4,730 units. Real estate with a carrying value of $104.1 million collateralized the debt of those VIEs. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit. As of December 31, 2004, we also held variable interests in 61 VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Those 61 VIEs consist primarily of partnerships, in which we acquired an interest prior to the adoption of FIN 46, that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 67 apartment properties with 7,407 units. We are involved with those VIEs as a non-controlling equity holder, lender, management agent, or through other contractual relationships. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our recorded investments in and receivables from those VIEs totaling

$37.5 million at December 31, 2004. We may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that we voluntarily provide in the future.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150
      In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, or SFAS 150, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The requirements of SFAS 150 apply to the classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments, such as mandatorily redeemable securities, put options, forward purchase contracts, and obligations that can be settled with shares, be classified as liabilities, where in some cases these have previously been classified as equity or between the liabilities and equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We adopted SFAS 150 as of July 1, 2003 and now present mandatorily redeemable securities within the scope of SFAS 150 as liabilities (see Note 7).
      In September 2003, financial statement issuers first became aware that the FASB intended for SFAS 150 to also apply to the non-controlling interests in consolidated finite life partnerships. However, on October 29, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the provisions of SFAS 150 that were intended to apply to non-controlling interests in consolidated finite life partnerships. Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships consists primarily of equity interests held by limited partners in consolidated real estate partnerships that have finite lives. The terms of the related partnership agreements generally require the partnership to be liquidated following the sale of the partnership’s real estate. As the general partner in these partnerships, we ordinarily control the execution of real estate sales and other events that could lead to the liquidation, redemption or other settlement of minority interests. The aggregate carrying value of minority interests in consolidated real estate partnerships is approximately $211.8 million at December 31, 2004. The aggregate fair value of these interests varies based on the fair value of the real estate owned by the partnerships. Based on the number of classes of finite-life minority interests, the number of properties in which there is direct or indirect minority ownership, complexities in determining the allocation of liquidation proceeds among partners and other factors, management believes it is impracticable to determine the required payment to the minority interests at December 31, 2004 in an assumed liquidation. As a result of real estate depreciation that is recognized in our financial statements and appreciation in the fair value of real estate that is not recognized in our financial statements, we believe that the aggregate fair value of our minority interests exceeds their aggregate carrying value. As a result of our ability to control real estate sales and other events that require payment of minority interests and our expectation that proceeds from real estate sales will be sufficient to liquidate related minority interests, we anticipate that the eventual payment of these minority interests will not have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related Depreciation and Amortization
      We capitalize the purchase price and incremental direct costs associated with the acquisition of properties as the cost of the assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, or SFAS 141, we allocate the cost of acquired properties to land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangibles, such as the value of above and below market leases, and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. In order to allocate purchase price on these various components we perform the following procedures for properties we acquire:
  1.  Determine the “as-if vacant” fair value of the physical property acquired (this value assumes the property goes “dark”);
 
  2.  Allocate the “as-if vacant” fair value among land, building, improvements (based on real estate valuation techniques), and furniture, fixtures and equipment; and
 
  3.  Compute the difference between the purchase price of the property and the “as-if vacant” fair value and allocate such difference to leases in-place (based on the nature of our business, customer relationship

F-10


Table of Contents

  value is assumed to be zero), which will represent the total intangible assets. The fair value of the leases in-place are comprised of:

  a.  The value of the above and/or below market leases in-place. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are computed based on the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the period, including estimated lease renewals for below-market leases, that the leases are expected to remain in effect.
  b.  Avoided leasing commissions and other costs that were incurred to execute leases.
  c.  The value associated with lost rents during the absorption period (estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand).
      The values of the above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining terms of the associated lease, including estimated lease renewals for below-market leases, to rental income. For the values associated with avoided leasing commissions and other costs that were incurred to execute leases and the value associated with lost rents during the absorption period, amortization expense is recorded over the expected terms of the associated leases. If a resident vacates the unit prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off.
      Depreciation for all tangible real estate assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Acquired buildings and improvements are depreciated over a composite life of 14 to 52 years, based on the age, condition and other physical characteristics of the property. Furniture, fixtures and equipment associated with acquired properties are depreciated over five years.
Capital Expenditures and Related Depreciation
      We capitalize direct and certain indirect costs incurred in connection with our capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements, and replacements of existing property components. Direct costs consist of costs that are directly identifiable with a specific project and include payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of the project. Indirect costs consist of interest, property taxes, and certain other costs, including an allocation of costs incurred by certain departments that perform activities that clearly relate to capital projects. Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the direct costs of the project, excluding direct labor, exceed $250. Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs are expensed as incurred. We charge to expense as incurred indirect costs that do not relate to the above activities, including general and administrative expenses.
      The costs of capital projects are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related component or improvement, which is generally five to fifteen years. Certain homogeneous items that are purchased in bulk on a recurring basis, such as carpeting and appliances, are depreciated using group methods that reflect the average estimated useful life of the items in each group. Except in the case of property casualties, where the net book value of lost property is written off in the determination of casualty gains or losses, we generally do not recognize any expense in connection with the replacement of an existing property component because normal replacements are considered in determining the estimated useful lives used in connection with our composite and group depreciation methods.
      For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the amounts of capitalized interest were $9.5 million, $14.5 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we capitalized payroll and indirect costs totaling $46.7 million, $45.4 million and $46.0 million, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
      Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate

F-11


Table of Contents

that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, we have determined that the carrying amount for our properties to be held and used is recoverable and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses related to such properties for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Cash Equivalents
      We consider highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
      Restricted cash includes capital replacement reserves, tax-free exchange funds, completion repair reserves, bond sinking fund amounts and tax and insurance escrow accounts held by lenders.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
      Accounts receivable are generally comprised of amounts receivable from residents, amounts receivable from non-affiliated real estate partnerships for which we provide property management and other services and other miscellaneous receivables from non-affiliated entities. We evaluate all accounts receivable from residents and establish an allowance, after the application of security deposits and other anticipated recoveries, for accounts greater than 30 days past due for current residents and all receivables due from former residents. Accounts receivable from residents are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.4 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      We evaluate all accounts receivable from non-affiliated entities and establish an allowance for amounts that are considered to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable relating to non-affiliated entities are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $4.5 million and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts from Affiliates
      Accounts receivable from affiliates are generally comprised of receivables related to property management and other services provided to unconsolidated real estate partnerships in which we have an ownership interest. We evaluate all accounts receivable balances from affiliates on a periodic basis, and establish an allowance for the amounts deemed to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable from affiliates are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $4.4 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Deferred Costs
      We defer lender fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining financing and amortize the cost over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense.
      We defer leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts and amortize the costs over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in property operating expenses.
Advertising Costs
      We generally expense all advertising costs as incurred to property operating expense. Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $29.0 million, $28.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively.

Notes Receivable from Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships and Related Interest Income and Provision for Losses
      Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of subordinated notes receivable from partnerships in which we are the general partner. The ultimate repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value of the underlying real estate property and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders. Our notes receivable include loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes,” and loans extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”
      We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of interest. We record income on such nonaccrual loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts are recognized as income.
      We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has entered into certain closed or pending transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other discounted notes using the cost recovery method.
      We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate.
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships
      We own general and limited partner interests in real estate partnerships that own apartment properties. We account for investments in real estate partnerships that we do not consolidate under the equity method. Under the equity method, our share of the earnings or losses of the entity for the periods being presented is included in equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated real estate partnerships, except for our share of impairments and property disposition gains related to such entities, which we report separately in the consolidated statements of income.
Intangible Assets
      At December 31, 2004 and 2003, other assets included goodwill of $88.1 million and $99.8 million, respectively, associated with the purchase of affordable properties and other businesses that we had previously amortized on a straight-line basis. We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS 142. SFAS 142 does not permit amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but requires an annual impairment test of such assets. The first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of reporting units with their carrying amounts, including goodwill. Based on the application of the goodwill impairment test set forth in SFAS 142, we determined that our goodwill was not impaired in 2004, 2003 or 2002. The 2004 decrease in goodwill was attributable to a change in the accounting for our investment in a previously consolidated entity that we now account for under the equity method.

Table of Contents

      Other assets also includes intangible assets for purchased management contracts with finite lives that we amortize on a straight-line basis over terms ranging from five to twenty years and intangible assets for in-place leases as discussed under Acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Related Depreciation and Amortization.
Capitalized Software Costs
      Purchased software and other costs related to software developed for internal use are capitalized during the application development stage and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally five years. We write off the costs of software development projects when it is no longer probable that the software will be completed and placed in service. During 2004, we wrote off $1.1 million of software development costs. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we capitalized software development costs totaling $18.1 million, $18.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, other assets included $43.4 million and $36.7 million of net capitalized software, respectively.
Minority Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships
      We reflect unaffiliated partners’ interests in consolidated real estate partnerships as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships represents the minority partners’ share of the underlying net assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships. When these consolidated real estate partnerships make cash distributions to partners in excess of the carrying amount of the minority interest, we generally record a charge equal to the amount of such excess distribution, even though there is no economic effect or cost. We report this charge in the consolidated statements of income as deficit distributions to minority partners. We allocate partnership losses to minority partners to the extent of the carrying amount of the minority interest. We generally record a charge when partnership losses exceed the carrying amount of the minority interest, even though there is no economic effect or cost. We report this charge in the consolidated statements of income within minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. We do not record charges for distributions or losses in certain limited instances where the minority partner has a legal obligation and financial capacity to contribute additional capital to the partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, we recorded charges for partnership losses resulting from depreciation of approximately $5.2 million, $1.5 million, and $7.0 million, respectively, that were not allocated to minority partners because the losses exceeded the carrying amount of the minority interest.
Revenue Recognition
      Our properties have operating leases with apartment residents with terms generally of twelve months or less. We recognize rental revenue related to these leases, net of any concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We recognize revenues from property management, asset management, syndication, development and other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.
Stock-Based Compensation
      Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, or SFAS 148, and applied the prospective method set forth in SFAS 148 with respect to the transition. Under this method, we apply the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003, which has resulted in recognition of compensation expense related to stock options based on the fair value of the stock options. For stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, we apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense related to such options has been recognized. We recognize compensation expense for stock options accounted for under SFAS 123 and restricted stock awards ratably over the period the awards vest. Compensation expense is reversed as forfeitures occur.

Table of Contents

      For purposes of the pro forma disclosures below, the estimated fair values for all awards made prior to January 1, 2003 are amortized over the respective vesting period for each such option and are shown as expense as if SFAS 123 had been applied to all such awards. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method. The fair value for our options granted over the last three years was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
                         
    2004   2003   2002
             
Risk free interest rate
    3.5%       3.5%       4.2%  
Expected dividend yield
    7.5%       9.0%       7.5%  
Volatility factor of the expected market price of our Common Stock
    0.191       0.195       0.210  
Weighted average expected life of options
    5.0  years       5.0  years       4.5  years  
Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year
    $2.24       $2.26       $3.52  
      The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options and does not take into account vesting requirements or restrictions on transferability. In addition, the valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
      The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period presented. Our pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
                           
    2004   2003   2002

Reported
  $ 1.88     $ 0.70     $ 0.88  
 
Pro forma
  $ 1.85     $ 0.67     $ 0.81  
Diluted earnings per common share:
                       
 
Reported
  $ 1.88     $ 0.70     $ 0.87  
 
Pro forma
  $ 1.85     $ 0.67     $ 0.80  
      The effects of applying SFAS 123 in calculating pro forma income attributable to common stockholders and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share may not necessarily be indicative of the effects of applying SFAS 123 to future years’ earnings. As discussed in Note 21, we are required to change our method of accounting for stock-based compensation in 2005.

Discontinued Operations
      In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, or SFAS 144, we classify certain properties as held for sale (see Note 15). The property operating income, interest expense and interest income are presented in discontinued operations in both current periods and all comparable periods presented. In addition, depreciation is not recorded on properties held for sale, however, depreciation expense recorded prior to classification as held for sale is included in discontinued operations. The net gain on sale and any impairment losses are presented in discontinued operations when recognized.
Derivative Financial Instruments
      We primarily use long-term, fixed-rate and self-amortizing non-recourse debt in order to avoid, among other things, risk related to fluctuating interest rates. For our variable-rate debt, we are sometimes required by our lenders to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap or cap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by converting the variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate cap agreements effectively limit our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying variable interest rate. The fair values of these instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and periodic changes in fair value are included in interest expense. These instruments are not material to our financial position and results of operations.
Insurance
      We believe that our insurance coverages insure our properties adequately against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, and other perils. In addition, we reinsure substantial portions of our property, workers’ compensation, health, and general liability insurance coverage. Losses are accrued based upon our estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on our experience.
Income Taxes
      We have elected to be taxed as a REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to United States Federal income taxes at the corporate level on our net income that is distributed to our stockholders if we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. If our taxable income exceeds our dividends in a tax year, REIT tax rules allow us to “throw back” dividends from the subsequent tax year in order to avoid current taxation on undistributed income. Throwing back of dividends can result in excise taxes. REITs are also subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income will be subject to United States Federal income tax at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax). Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes and to United States Federal income tax. We also will be required to pay a 100% tax on non-arms length transactions between us and a taxable REIT subsidiary and on any net income from sales of property that the IRS successfully asserts was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course.
      Certain of our operations (property management, asset management, risk, etc.) are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subsidiaries of the Aimco Operating Partnership and each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and as such is subject to United States Federal corporate income tax. We use the TRS format to facilitate our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.
      For our taxable REIT subsidiaries, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for Federal income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.

Earnings Per Share
      We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period (see Note 16).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
      The aggregate fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term secured debt as of December 31, 2004 approximates their carrying value due to their relatively short-term nature. We further believe that the fair value of our variable rate secured tax-exempt bond debt and secured long-term debt also approximate their carrying value. For notes receivable, fixed rate secured tax-exempt bond debt and secured long-term debt, fair values have been based on estimates using present value techniques. Present value calculations vary significantly depending on the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. We estimate fair value for our fixed rate debt agreements based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. In many cases, the fair value estimates may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. The estimated combined fair value of our notes receivable at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was approximately $201 million and $216 million, respectively. See Note 5 for further details on notes receivable. The estimated combined fair value of our secured tax-exempt bonds and secured notes payable at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was approximately $6.0 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively. See Note 6 for further details on secured tax-exempt bonds and secured notes payable.
Concentration of Credit Risk
      Financial instruments that potentially could subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of notes receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to notes receivable are limited due to the large number of partnerships comprising our partnership base, the geographic diversity of the underlying properties, and the amount of partnership distributions.
Use of Estimates
      The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
      Certain items included in the 2003 and 2002 financial statements amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.
Note 3 — Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Real Estate Acquisitions
      During 2004, we completed acquisitions of 11 properties (including The Palazzo at Park La Brea), containing approximately 1,880 residential units (and some ground floor retail space) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $361 million. Of the 11 properties acquired, six are located in the New York City area, one in Los Angeles, two in Massachusetts, one in Florida and one in the Chicago area. The purchases were funded with cash, tax-free exchange funds, new debt and the assumption of existing debt.
      During 2003, we completed acquisitions of two properties (one located in the New York City area and one in Florida) containing 415 residential units and 12 commercial units for an aggregate purchase price of $96.5 million. The purchases were funded with cash, common OP units, new debt, and the assumption of existing debt.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions of Partnership Interests
      During 2004 and 2003, we acquired limited partnership interests in 147 partnerships and 166 partnerships, respectively, in which our affiliates served as general partner. In connection with such acquisitions in both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, during 2004 we paid approximately $50 million, which included transaction costs, of which $48 million was in cash and the remainder in OP Units, and during 2003 we paid approximately $27 million, which included transaction costs, of which $26 million was in cash and the remainder in OP Units. The 2004 and 2003 amounts were approximately $89 million and $56 million, respectively, in excess of the minority interests’ book value in such limited partnerships, which we generally identified to real estate.
      In July 2003, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in the partnership that owns Lincoln Place, a 795-unit apartment community in Venice, California, for a purchase price of approximately $63 million, funded through a combination of cash and assumed non-recourse mortgage debt. During 2001, we acquired an approximate 50% interest in the partnership that owns Lincoln Place, which we funded through the payment of cash and the issuance of Class Nine Partnership Preferred Units, or the Class Nine Preferred Units. In connection with the July 2003 transaction, we repurchased for approximately $33 million all outstanding Class Nine Preferred Units that were issued in connection with the 2001 purchase and approximately 147,000 common OP Units that had been issued upon conversion of Class Nine Preferred Units issued in the 2001 purchase.
GE Joint Venture
      On December 30, 2003 we entered into an equity financing with GE Real Estate in the form of a joint venture, which we refer to the as the GE JV. At closing, we contributed to the GE JV interests in 33 of our apartment properties with a total of 9,534 units, and GE Real Estate contributed cash, of which we received approximately $107 million before transaction costs and funding of reserves. The 33 apartment properties we contributed had an agreed-upon transaction value of approximately $346 million and mortgage debt of approximately $204 million that was assumed by the GE JV. In March 2004, we contributed to the GE JV interests in four additional apartment properties with a total of 900 units, and GE Real Estate contributed cash, of which we received approximately $11.0 million before transaction costs and funding of reserves. The four apartment properties we contributed had an agreed-upon transaction value of approximately $36.0 million and mortgage debt of approximately $21.0 million that was assumed by the GE JV. As a result of our control over day-to-day operations, we continue to consolidate the properties contributed to the GE JV in our consolidated financial statements and did not recognize any gain as a result of this transaction. GE Real Estate’s interest in these net assets is included in minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships.
Note 4 — Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships
      We owned general and limited partner interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships owning approximately 330, 441 and 511 properties at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We acquired these interests through various transactions, including large portfolio acquisitions and offers to individual limited partners. Our total ownership interests in these unconsolidated real estate partnerships ranges typically from less than 1% to 50%.

Net income
    50,778       40,782       27,505  
      The decrease in the amounts in the above table from year to year was primarily due to dispositions of real estate owned by our unconsolidated real estate partnerships and our purchase of additional interests in, and resulting consolidation of, various partnerships previously accounted for under the equity method.
      As a result of our acquisition of interests in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, the investment in these partnerships at December 31, 2004 and 2003 of $188.1 million and $230.1 million, respectively, is approximately $123.7 million and $322.7 million, respectively, in excess of our share of the underlying historical partners’ deficit of the partnerships. The excess of the cost of the investments acquired over the equity in the underlying historical partners’ deficit is primarily ascribed to the fair values of land and buildings owned by the unconsolidated real estate partnerships. We amortize the excess basis related to the buildings over the estimated useful lives of the buildings. Such amortization is recorded as a component of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate partnerships.

We earn interest on these secured notes receivable at various annual interest rates ranging between 6.0% and 12.0% and averaging 9.7%.
      Included in the notes receivable from non-affiliates at December 31, 2004 and 2003, are $9.1 million and $20.9 million, respectively, in notes that were secured by interests in real estate or interests in real estate partnerships. We earn interest on these secured notes receivable at various annual interest rates ranging between 4.0% and 9.0% and averaging 7.3%.

      Additionally, included in notes receivable from non-affiliates at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are notes receivable from Alan I. Casden for an aggregate of $9.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively. Prior to the March 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc. (which we refer to as the Casden Transactions) in which we acquired NAPICO, investors holding limited partnership units in various limited partnerships of which NAPICO is the corporate general partner commenced an action (the “REAL Litigation”) against NAPICO and certain other defendants. On December 30, 2003, a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between NAPICO and Aimco and the prior shareholders of Casden Properties, Inc. closed in accordance with its terms. Among other things, the Settlement Agreement provided that The Casden Company deliver promissory notes (each a Note and collectively, the Notes) to NAPICO in an aggregate amount of $35 million ($7 million per year for 5 years), plus interest, on a secured, non-recourse basis. The Notes were secured by (i) approximately 804,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) cash proceeds of recoveries or settlements that Alan I. Casden or any of his affiliates, or any of the former shareholders of Casden Properties Inc., receive in connection with or related to the REAL Litigation. On September 22, 2004, we entered into an agreement with respect to certain proceeds to be received by Alan I. Casden and Casden’s right to deliver Common Stock at an agreed-upon value of $47 per share in satisfaction of the Notes. Pursuant to this agreement, we received $20 million in cash as payment in full on the three Notes due in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Thereafter, at various intervals spanning approximately 1.5 years, we will receive cash payments of $4.0 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million in satisfaction of the Notes due in 2007 and 2008. This transaction resolves a contingency based on the price of our Common Stock related to the Casden Transactions. In accordance with SFAS 141, we recorded a $4.8 million charge to additional paid-in capital, representing the difference between the $29.1 million fair value of the consideration to be paid pursuant to the settlement and the $33.9 million book value of the Notes.
      Interest income from total non-impaired par value notes for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 totaled $20.5 million, $15.5 million and $26.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, we recognized accretion income on total discounted notes of approximately $6.3 million ($0.06 per basic and diluted share), $3.3 million ($0.03 per basic and diluted share), and $36.8 million ($0.37 per basic and diluted share), respectively.
      The activity in the allowance for loan losses in total for both par value notes and discounted notes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, is as follows (in thousands):
                   
    2004   2003
         
Balance at beginning of year
  $ (10,122 )   $ (9,979 )
 
Recoveries of (provision for) losses on notes receivable

    1,208       2,040  
             
Balance at end of year
  $ (7,149 )   $ (10,122 )
             
      During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we determined that an allowance for loan losses of $3.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, was required on certain of our par value notes that had carrying values of $17.1 million and $16.3 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in the impaired par value notes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $15.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The remaining $95.3 million in par value notes receivable at December 31, 2004 is collectible and, therefore, interest income on these par value notes is recognized as it is earned.
      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, we determined that an allowance for loan losses of $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, was required on certain of our discounted notes that had carrying values of $6.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in the impaired discounted notes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $5.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

      Fixed rate secured tax-exempt bonds payable mature at various dates through October 2045. Variable rate secured tax-exempt bonds payable mature at various dates through June 2034. Principal and interest on these bonds are generally payable in semi-annual installments or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. Certain of our tax-exempt bonds at December 31, 2004 are remarketed periodically by a remarketing agent to maintain a variable yield. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket the bonds, then the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. We believe that the likelihood of this occurring is remote. At December 31, 2004, our secured tax-exempt bond financings were secured by 90 properties with a combined net book value of $1,786.5 million.

      Fixed rate secured notes payable mature at various dates through October 2045. Variable rate secured notes payable mature at various dates through November 2028. Principal and interest are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. At December 31, 2004, our secured notes payable were secured by 558 properties with a combined net book value of $6,900.5 million.
      We have a secured revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $250 million primarily to be used for financing properties that we intend to sell, as well as properties that are under redevelopment. In addition to the amounts in the above table, there were approximately $10 million and $9 million of notes that were provided through this facility that are unconsolidated and not included within secured notes payable at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The interest rate on the notes provided through this facility is the Fannie Mae Discounted Mortgage-Backed Security index plus 0.85%, which interest rate resets monthly. Each such loan under this facility is treated as a separate borrowing and is collateralized by a specific property, and none of the loans is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted. This facility matures in September 2007, but can be terminated and repaid in full without penalty after September 2005.
      Our consolidated debt instruments generally contain covenants common to the type of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants establishing minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. At December 31, 2004, we were in material compliance with all financial covenants pertaining to our consolidated debt instruments.

Note 7 — Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
      In accordance with SFAS 150, we report Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities, which we refer to as TOPRS, and the Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Class S Preferred Stock, within the liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 (see Note 2 for further details on SFAS 150).
      In connection with the Insignia merger in 1998, we assumed the obligations under TOPRS with an aggregate liquidation amount of $149.5 million. Since 1998, approximately $134.5 million of the securities have been converted, resulting in $15.0 million remaining as of December 31, 2004, which also represents the redemption value. The securities mature on September 30, 2016 and require quarterly distributions payable in arrears at the rate of 6.5% per annum. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of distributions have been recorded to interest expense. The securities are convertible by the holders at any time through September 30, 2016 and may be redeemed by us on or after November 1, 1999. Each $50 of liquidation value of the securities can be converted into Common Stock at a conversion price of $49.61, which equates to 1.007 shares of Common Stock. In 2004 and 2003, the holders of the securities converted approximately $0.1 million and $0.05 million, respectively, of the securities into approximately 2,000 and 1,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. On January 11, 2005, we redeemed for cash, all outstanding TOPRS (see Note 22 for further details on the redemption).
      On April 30, 2003, we sold 4,000,000 shares ($100 million) of Class S Preferred Stock through a private placement to an institutional investor. On January 30, 2004, we redeemed 1,015,228 shares of the Class S Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $24.625 per share. On March 26, 2004, we redeemed the remaining 2,984,772 shares of the Class S Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $24.75 per share. In accordance with SFAS 150, for the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded to interest expense approximately $0.8 million of dividends paid on the Class S Preferred Stock and $0.4 million resulting from a redemption value adjustment on February 1, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded to interest expense $2.0 million of dividends paid on the Class S Preferred Stock and $0.75 million resulting from a redemption value adjustment.
Note 8 — Term Loans and Credit Facility
      On November 2, 2004, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement, with a syndicate of financial institutions. In addition to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and two Aimco subsidiaries, NHP Management Company and AIMCO/ Bethesda Holdings, Inc. are also borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement replaced our previous two separate credit agreements.
      The original aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement is $750 million, comprised of $450 million of revolving loan commitments and a $300 million term loan tranche. The revolving loans bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin that can range from 1.50% to 2.00% (for LIBOR loans) or (ii) the base rate plus a margin that can range from 0% to 0.25% (for base rate loans), in each case, depending on our leverage ratio. The term loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (for LIBOR loans) or (ii) the

F-22


Table of Contents

base rate plus 0.25% (for base rate loans). The default rate of interest for the loan is equal to the applicable rate described above plus 3%. The revolving loans mature on November 2, 2007, and the term loan matures on November 2, 2009.
      The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the maintenance of specified ratios with respect to total indebtedness to gross asset value, total secured indebtedness to gross asset value, aggregate recourse indebtedness to gross asset value, variable rate debt to total indebtedness, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage; the maintenance of a minimum adjusted tangible net worth; and limitations regarding the amount of cross-collateralized debt. The Credit Agreement includes other customary covenants, including a restriction on distributions and other restricted payments, but permits distributions during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of our funds from operations for such period or such amount as may be necessary to maintain our REIT status. The Credit Agreement also permits us to repurchase our Common Stock using up to 80% of sales proceeds in any trailing four-quarter period.
      The lenders under the Credit Agreement may accelerate any outstanding loans if, among other things: we fail to make payments when due (subject to applicable grace periods); material defaults occur under other debt agreements; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events occur; material judgments are entered against us; we fail to comply with certain covenants, such as the requirement to deliver financial information or the requirement to provide notices regarding material events (subject to applicable grace periods in some cases); indebtedness is incurred in violation of the covenants; or prohibited liens arise.
      Upon entering into the Credit Agreement on November 2, 2004, we borrowed $300.0 million under the term loan facility, which bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.0%, and $145.0 million under the revolving credit facility, which currently bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75%. Proceeds from the term loan were used to repay the outstanding loans under our previous loan facilities and for other corporate purposes. Proceeds from the revolving loans made on the closing date were used to repay outstanding loans under the previous loan facilities. The proceeds of future revolving loans are generally permitted to be used to fund working capital and other corporate purposes.
      At December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan was $300.0 million at an interest rate of 4.18%. At December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans was $68.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.64% (based on various weighted average LIBOR and base rate borrowings outstanding with various maturities). The amount available under the revolving facility at December 31, 2004 was $358.2 million (after giving effect to $23.1 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit issued under the revolving facility). As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all financial covenant requirements.
Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
      In connection with the Casden Transactions, we have commitments to:
  •  purchase, for a contractually agreed minimum consideration of approximately $199 million, Palazzo East at Park La Brea upon satisfactory completion of construction and attainment of 60% occupancy. Palazzo East at Park La Brea is comprised of a total of 610 units, construction of which was completed in December 2003. The Palazzo East at Park La Brea acquisition was completed on February 28, 2005 (see Note 22). With regard to our previously disclosed commitment to purchase Westwood, on January 3, 2005, we finalized an agreement that extinguished our purchase obligation;
 
  •  provide a stand-by facility of $64.5 million in debt financing associated with the development of Palazzo East at Park La Brea and Westwood (as of December 31, 2004, no funds have been drawn on this stand-by facility). In connection with the Westwood agreement described above, the maximum amount we are required to provide through this stand-by facility was reduced to $32.1 million. Additionally, with the February 28, 2005 acquisition of Palazzo East at Park La Brea, we are no longer required to provide this stand-by facility;

F-23


Table of Contents

  •  invest up to $50 million for a 20% limited liability company interest in Casden Properties LLC. As of December 31, 2004, we had invested $39.2 million. Casden Properties LLC intends to pursue new development opportunities in Southern California and other markets. We have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase at completion all multifamily rental projects developed by Casden Properties LLC; and
 
  •  pay $2.5 million per quarter for five years (for an aggregate amount of $50 million) to Casden Properties LLC as a retainer on account for redevelopment services on our assets (as of December 31, 2004, $27.5 million has been paid).
Guarantees
      In the ordinary course of business, we provide certain guarantees that are covered by the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, or FIN 45. These guarantees include: (i) standby letters of credit, which we may provide to enhance credit or guarantee our performance under contractual obligations; (ii) limited guarantees, which we may provide to certain of our lenders and that may require us to provide funds to maintain required loan-to-value ratios; and (iii) guarantees in connection with our syndication of historical and affordable housing tax credits, which we may provide to make available additional funding to cover operating cash flow deficiencies, cover shortfalls related to the delivery of tax credits and cover financing shortfalls related to project development. These guarantees have varying expiration dates ranging from less than one year to fourteen years. The fair values of guarantees that are required to be recognized under FIN 45 are not material to our financial statements.
Legal Matters
      In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Limited Partnerships
      In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Environmental
      Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, we could potentially

F-24


Table of Contents

be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.
Mold
      As previously disclosed, we have been named as a defendant in lawsuits that have alleged personal injury as a result of the presence of mold. In addition, we are aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from our properties and believe that our measures will eliminate, or at least minimize, the effects that mold could have on our residents. To date, we have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change we can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
San Francisco Litigation
      As previously disclosed, Aimco and four of its affiliated partnerships were parties to a lawsuit with the City and County of San Francisco and certain of its agents. A settlement agreement among the parties resolving the litigation became effective on November 4, 2004. The settlement was subject to certain previously disclosed conditions subsequent that have been satisfied. We intend to complete a renovation of the properties. The settlement and anticipated renovation of the properties have had no material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
National Union Litigation
      As previously disclosed, National Program Services, Inc. and Vito Gruppuso (collectively “NPS”) were insurance agents who sold to us property insurance issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (“National Union”). The financial failure of NPS resulted in defaults under two agreements by which NPS indemnified us from losses relating to the matters described below. As a result of such defaults we had a $16.7 million insurance-related receivable that was subsequently reduced to $6.7 million following our settlement with Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (“Lumbermens”) and an insurance agency. In addition, we have pending litigation against National Union, First Capital Group, a New York based insurance wholesaler, NPS and other agents of National Union, for a refund of at least $10 million of the prepaid premium plus other damages. The contingent liabilities arising from the NPS defaults also resulted in litigation against us by Cananwill, Inc. (“Cananwill”), a premium funding company, regarding an alleged balance due of $5.7 million on a premium finance agreement that funded premium payments made to National Union. We are also plaintiffs in litigation against Cananwill and Combined Specialty Insurance Company, formerly known as Virginia Surety Company, Inc., alleging Cananwill’s conversion of $1.6 million of unearned premium belonging to us and misapplication of such funds to the alleged debt asserted in the lawsuit initiated by Cananwill. The matter in which we are plaintiffs has been stayed by the court pending resolution of the action filed by Cananwill against us. The previously disclosed litigation brought by WestRM — West Risk Markets, Ltd. (“WestRM”) against XL Reinsurance America, Inc. (“XL”), Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”) and Lumbermens in which we have been made a third party defendant continues. Summary judgment has been entered against defendants XL and Greenwich. Similarly, the previously disclosed litigation brought by Highlands Insurance Company (“Highlands”) against Cananwill, XL, Greenwich and us also continues. In those cases in which we are a defendant, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to assert, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against claims brought against us. In addition, we will vigorously prosecute our own claims. Although the outcome of any claim or matter in litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that we will incur any material loss in connection with the insurance-related receivable or that the ultimate outcome of these separate but related matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FLSA Litigation
      As previously disclosed, the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHP Management Company (“NHPMN”), our affiliate, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be “on-call.” Additionally, the complaint alleges the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while “on-call.” We have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Discovery relating to the certification of the collective action has concluded and briefing on the matter is underway. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
SEC Investigation
      As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is conducting a formal investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may investigate, we believe the areas of investigation include our miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, and tax credit transactions. We are cooperating fully. We are not able to predict when the matter will be resolved. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Operating Leases
      We are obligated under office space and equipment non-cancelable operating leases. In addition, we sublease certain of our office space to tenants under non-cancelable subleases. Approximate minimum annual rentals under operating leases and approximate minimum payments to be received under annual subleases are as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense recognized totaled $5.8 million, $6.1 million, and $5.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Sublease receipts totaled approximately $0.9 million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, in an effort to streamline business processes and operational efficiencies of our property management and services businesses, we contributed all of the capital stock of NHP Management Company to AIMCO/ Bethesda Holdings, Inc. (both of which are wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries). In connection with this transaction, we reversed a valuation reserve related to future deductions and tax loss carryforwards of NHP Management Company and thereby recognized approximately $8.0 million of deferred tax benefits within other expenses (income), net. This deferred tax benefit increased net income by approximately $7.1 million, net of minority interest, and resulted in an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.08 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
      Income taxes paid totaled approximately $2,727,000, $3,771,000, and $1,189,000 in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
      At December 31, 2004, we had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $27.0 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2017 to 2023. Subject to certain separate return limitations, we may use these NOLs to offset all or a portion of taxable income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. Additionally, at December 31, 2004, we had tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3.8 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2012 to 2023.
      Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes principally due to differences for United States Federal tax purposes in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties.

Note 11 — Transactions Involving Minority Interest in Aimco Operating Partnership
Preferred OP Units
      Various classes of preferred OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership are outstanding. Depending on the terms of each class, these preferred OP Units are convertible into common OP Units or redeemable for Common Stock and are paid distributions varying from 8% to 9.5% per annum per unit, or equal to the dividends paid on Common Stock based on the conversion terms. As of December 31, 2004, a total of 3.3 million preferred OP Units were outstanding with a redemption value of $90.5 million, which were redeemable into approximately 2.5 million shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2003, a total of 3.3 million preferred OP Units were outstanding with a redemption value of $90.8 million, which were redeemable into approximately 2.5 million shares of Common Stock.
      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, approximately 10,000 and 32,000 preferred OP Units were tendered for redemption in exchange for approximately 8,000 and 22,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were none and approximately 13,000 preferred OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for cash. Additionally, in July 2003, we repurchased all outstanding Class Nine Preferred Units for approximately $27 million (see Note 3 for further information).
Common OP Units
      We completed tender offers for limited partnership interests resulting in the issuance of approximately 82,000 and 23,000 common OP Units in 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, in December 2003, we issued 88,792 common OP Units valued at $3.5 million in connection with the acquisition of an individual property.
      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, approximately 160,000 and 35,000 common OP Units, respectively, were redeemed in exchange for cash and approximately 735,000 and 338,000 common OP Units, respectively, were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock.
High Performance Partnership Units
      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were 2,379,084 Class I High Performance Partnership Units outstanding. Also outstanding were 4,398 Class V High Performance Partnership Units, or the Class V Units, for which the valuation period began on January 1, 2002 and ended on December 31, 2004, 5,000 Class VI High Performance Partnership Units, or the Class VI Units, for which the valuation period began on January 1, 2003 and will end on December 31, 2005 and 4,109 Class VII High Performance Partnership Units, or the Class VII Units, for which the valuation period began on January 1, 2004 and will end on December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2004, we did not meet the required measurement benchmarks for the Class V Units, Class VI Units or Class VII Units and therefore, we have not recorded any value to such High Performance Partnership Units in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and such High Performance Partnership Units have no dilutive effect.

Note 12 — Registration Statements
      On March 26, 2004, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, with respect to an aggregate of $1.05 billion of our debt and equity securities (of which approximately $50 million was carried over from the 2001 shelf registration statement) and $500.0 million of debt securities of the Aimco Operating Partnership (all of which was carried forward from the 2001 shelf registration statement). On April 5, 2004, the SEC declared the 2004 shelf registration statement effective. Under this 2004 shelf registration statement, we have approximately $876.6 million of debt and equity securities, and the Aimco Operating Partnership has $500.0 million of debt securities, available for sale as of December 31, 2004.

On November 5, 2004, we redeemed 1,450,000 shares of the Class D Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25 per share, or $36.25 million, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends through November 5, 2004, for a total of $25.1276 per share.
 
  (3)  On March 24, 2004, we sold 8,000,000 shares of Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class U Preferred Stock, in a registered public offering. We used the net proceeds of approximately $193.2 million to redeem a portion of Class S Preferred Stock and the remainder to pay down the revolving credit facility that we later used to redeem Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock.
 
  (4)  On September 29, 2004, we sold 3,450,000 shares of Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class V Preferred Stock, in a registered public offering.

  (6)  The articles supplementary set forth the relative rights and preferences of each class of securities and as shown above, the dividend rate on each class of convertible securities is the rate specified in the articles supplementary for each class. Such rate can be increased to the rate of the dividends paid on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of such preferred security is convertible. The initial conversion price of each class was in excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the respective dates on which the purchasers of each class agreed to purchase such securities.
 
  (7)  On September 30, 2004, we completed a partial redemption for cash of 2,000,000 outstanding shares of the Class N Preferred Stock for a total redemption price of $25.68125 per share, which included a redemption price of $25 per share, $0.18125 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through October 29, 2004, and a 2%, or $0.50 per share, redemption premium. Additionally, on September 30, 2004, we issued 2,000,000 shares of Class X Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class X Preferred Stock, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Class N Preferred Stock in a private transaction. See additional discussion below on the Class X Preferred Stock. The conversion ratio for the Class N Preferred Stock is 0.4762.
 
  (8)  On September 30, 2004, we issued 1,904,762 shares of Class W Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class W Preferred Stock, in exchange for all 1,904,762 shares of Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Class O Preferred Stock, in a private transaction. Each share of the Class W Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning September 30, 2007 for cash at a price per share equal to 102% of the liquidation preference, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. The conversion ratio for the Class O Preferred Stock and the Class W Preferred Stock is 1.0. Accordingly, upon a conversion of all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock, 1,904,762 shares of Common Stock would be issued.
 
  (9)  On April 21, 2004, we redeemed for cash all 3,999,662 outstanding shares of Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, or the Class P Preferred Stock, for a total redemption price of $25.0375 per share, which included a redemption price of $25 per share, and $0.0375 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through April 20, 2004. The conversion ratio for the Class P Preferred Stock is 0.4464.
(10)  On September 30, 2004, we issued 2,000,000 shares of the Class X Preferred Stock, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Class N Preferred Stock in a private transaction. Beginning on April 1, 2006, holders of the Class X Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $2.25 per year (equivalent to 9.0% of the liquidation preference), or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Class X Preferred Stock is convertible. Each share of the Class X Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning March 31, 2006 for cash in the amount of $25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Under certain circumstances prior to March 31, 2006, the Class X Preferred Stock may be redeemed at 102% of the liquidation preference. The conversion ratio for the Class X Preferred Stock is 0.4762. Accordingly, upon a conversion of all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock, 952,400 shares of Common Stock would be issued.
      All classes of preferred stock are pari passu with each other and are senior to Common Stock. The holders of each class of preferred stock are generally not entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders. Dividends on all shares of preferred stock are subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. All of the above outstanding classes of preferred stock have a liquidation preference per share of $25, with the exception of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Class W Preferred Stock, which both have a liquidation preference per share of $52.50.
      On July 31, 2003, the SEC clarified Emerging Issues Task Force, Topic No. D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings Per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock, or Topic D-42, which provides that any excess of (a) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of preferred stock redeemed over (b) the carrying amount of the preferred stock should be subtracted from net earnings to determine net earnings available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. The SEC interpreted Topic D-42 to require that the issuance costs of the preferred securities reduce the carrying amount of the preferred securities, regardless of where in the stockholders’ equity section those costs were initially classified on issuance. Under the clarification, these issuance costs must be treated like a preferred dividend and deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders. The July 2003 clarification of Topic

D-42 was effective for us for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The partial redemption of the Class D Preferred Stock, the redemption of the Class P Preferred Stock, and the exchanges of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Class O Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2004, resulted in $3.5 million of redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and a $1.0 million redemption premium being deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and thereby reduced by $0.05 our earnings per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2004. During 2003, the partial redemption of the Class D Preferred Stock and the redemptions of the Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock resulted in $7.7 million of redemption related preferred stock issuance costs being deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and thereby reduced by $0.08 our earnings per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2003.
      The dividends paid on each class of preferred stock classified as equity for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Common Stock
      During 2004 and 2003, we issued approximately 45,000 shares and 50,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock to certain officers at market prices. In exchange for the shares purchased, the officers executed notes payable totaling $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These notes, which are 25% recourse to the holder, have a 10-year maturity and bear interest either at a fixed rate of 6% annually or a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 3.85%, which is subject to an annual interest rate cap of typically 7.25%. Total payments on such notes from officers in 2004 and 2003 were $4.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
      In addition, in 2004 and 2003, we issued approximately 532,000 and 235,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, respectively, to certain officers and employees. The restricted stock was recorded at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of issuance. These shares of restricted Common Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and are subject to a risk of forfeiture prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period (typically ratably over a period of three or five years).
      On February 18, 19 and 24, 2004, we purchased on the open market 30,000, 60,000 and 20,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an average price per share of approximately $32.03, $32.17 and $31.26, respectively. Additionally, on February 24, 2004, we completed the purchase of 287,272 shares of Common Stock in a privately negotiated transaction at a price of $31.60 per share. There were no shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2003, however, we accepted approximately 532,000 shares of Common Stock as payment in full of an obligation pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement associated with the REAL Litigation (described in Note 5).
Note 14 — Stock Option Plans and Stock Warrants
      We adopted the Apartment Investment and Management Company 1997 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, or the 1997 Plan, and the Apartment Investment and Management Company Non-Qualified Employee Stock Option Plan, or the Non-Qualified Plan, to attract and retain officers, key employees and independent directors. The 1997 Plan provides for the granting of a maximum of 20,000,000 options to purchase Common Stock. The Non-Qualified Plan provides for the granting of a maximum of 500,000 options to purchase Common Stock. At December 31, 2004, there were approximately 5,000,000 shares available for issuance under these plans. The 1997 Plan allows for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, and together with the Non-Qualified

Plan, which provides for the grant of non-qualified options only, are administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. In the case of incentive stock options, the exercise price of the options granted may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The term of the incentive and non-qualified options is ten years from the date of grant. The options typically vest over a period of one to five-years from the date of grant. Terms may be modified at the discretion of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors.
      The 1997 Plan also authorizes grants of restricted stock awards as part of our equity compensation plan. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we granted restricted stock awards of approximately 532,000, 235,000 and 80,000 shares, respectively, with weighted average fair values per share of $29.56, $38.09, and $43.65, respectively. Compensation costs related to these awards is being recognized over the applicable vesting period (typically ratably over a period of three or five years). Dividends paid on restricted stock awards (whether vested or unvested) are charged to distributions in excess of earnings. We evaluate quarterly the previously paid dividends on restricted stock awards that are forfeited to determine whether a reclassification between distributions in excess of earnings and compensation expense should be recorded. Dividends paid on restricted stock awards that were forfeited were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
      On December 2, 1997, Aimco issued warrants, which we refer to as the Oxford Warrants, exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $41 per share. The Oxford Warrants were issued to affiliates of Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, or Oxford, in connection with the amendment of certain agreements pursuant to which we manage properties formerly controlled by Oxford or its affiliates. The Oxford Warrants were amended in connection with the acquisition of the Oxford entities in September 2000, are currently exercisable and expire on December 31, 2006.

Note 15 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
      In accordance with SFAS 144 we report as discontinued operations real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity and have been sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale under SFAS 144. We included all results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, in a separate component of income on the consolidated statements of income under the heading “discontinued operations.” This treatment resulted in certain reclassifications of 2003 and 2002 financial statement amounts.
      At December 31, 2004, we had 14 properties with an aggregate of 2,270 units classified as held for sale. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, discontinued operations includes the results of operations of these properties. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold 54 properties with an aggregate of 12,248 units. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, discontinued operations includes the results of operations of these 54 properties for periods prior to the date of sale. During 2003, we sold 72 properties with an aggregate of 18,291 units. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, discontinued operations includes the results of operations of these 72 properties for periods prior to the date of sale. During 2002, we sold 42 properties with an aggregate of 8,547 units. For the year ended December 31, 2002, discontinued operations includes the results of operations of these 42 properties for periods prior to the date of sale.

      We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. We expect that all properties classified as held for sale will sell within one year from the date classified as held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale of $53.3 million at December 31, 2004 include real estate net book value of $51.9 million and restricted cash and other assets of $1.4 million. Liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $50.8 million at December 31, 2004 include mortgage debt of $50.2 million. Assets classified as held for sale of $691.3 million at December 31, 2003 include real estate net book value of $667.7 million, represented by 68 properties with 14,518 units that were classified as assets held for sale during 2003 and 2004. Liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $515.6 million at December 31, 2003 include mortgage debt of $506.9 million. The estimated proceeds, less anticipated costs to sell, for certain of these assets were less than the related net book value, and therefore we recorded impairment losses of $7.3 million, $9.0 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We are also marketing for sale certain other properties that do not meet all of the criteria under SFAS 144 to be classified as held for sale.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, we treat the dilutive impact of the unvested portion of restricted shares as common stock equivalents.

(1)  Certain reclassifications have been made to 2004 and 2003 quarterly amounts to conform to the full year 2004 presentation, including certain intercompany eliminations, as well as the treatment of discontinued operations.
      During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, we reversed a valuation reserve against certain deferred tax assets related to future deductions and tax loss carryforwards of NHP Management Company that increased our net income by approximately $7.1 million and our basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.08 for the year ended December 31, 2003. See Note 10 for further details.
Note 18 — Business Segments
      We have two reportable segments: real estate (owning and operating apartments) and investment management business (providing property management and other services relating to the apartment business to third parties and affiliates). We own and operate properties throughout the United States and Puerto Rico that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of residents. We separately evaluate the performance of each of our properties. However, because each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, the properties have been aggregated into a single apartment communities, or real estate, segment. All real estate revenues are from external customers and no revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. No single resident or related group of residents contributed 10% or more of total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 or 2002.
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, or SFAS 131, requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. Our chief operating decision maker is comprised of several members of our executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business including net operating income, free cash flow, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations. In 2004, the chief operating decision maker emphasized net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. Accordingly, below we disclose net operating income for each of our segments. Net operating income is defined as segment revenues (after the elimination of intersegment revenues) less direct segment operating expenses. In 2003, we reported free cash flow as the primary basis for measurement of segment profit or loss. Certain reclassifications have been made to 2003 and 2002 amounts to conform to the 2004 presentation. These reclassifications primarily represent presentation changes related to discontinued operations resulting from the requirements of SFAS 144 and intercompany eliminations.

(1)  Total assets for reportable segments include assets associated with both the real estate and investment management business segments.
      Our capital expenditures primarily relate to the real estate segment and totaled $301.9 million, $245.5 million and $270.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Note 19 — Transactions with Affiliates
      We earn revenue from unconsolidated real estate partnerships in which we are the general partner and have a 23% average ownership interest and earn fees from consolidated real estate partnerships. These revenues and fees include property management services, partnership and asset management services, risk management services and transactional services such as syndication and acquisition, development, refinancing, construction supervisory and disposition. In addition, we are reimbursed for our costs in connection with the management of the unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Fees earned for these services and reimbursement of costs from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $89.6 million, $93.1 million and $104.6 million, respectively, and were recorded within various captions on our consolidated statements of income. The total accounts receivable due from affiliates was $39.2 million, net of

allowance for doubtful accounts of $4.4 million, at December 31, 2004, and $55.0 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.0 million, at December 31, 2003.
      Additionally, we earn interest income on notes from unconsolidated and consolidated real estate partnerships, in which we are the general partner and hold either par value or discounted notes. Interest income earned on par value notes from unconsolidated real estate partnerships totaled $16.8 million, $14.3 million, and $26.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Accretion income earned on discounted notes from unconsolidated real estate partnerships totaled $6.2 million, $2.7 million, and $36.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. See Note 5 for additional information on notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships.
      In the consolidated balance sheets, we eliminate the accounts receivable and notes receivable from affiliates due from consolidated real estate partnerships. We eliminate in the consolidated statements of income the income from services and interest income earned on notes from consolidated real estate partnerships. We eliminate in the consolidated statements of income to the extent of our ownership any intercompany profits on income earned from unconsolidated real estate partnerships.
Note 20 — Employee Benefit Plans
      We provide a 401(k) defined-contribution employee savings plan. Effective January 1, 2004, employees who have completed 30 days of service are eligible to participate. Effective January 1, 2004, our matching contributions are made in the following manner: (1) a 100% match on the first 3% of the participant’s contribution; (2) a 50% match on the next 2% of the participant’s contribution. Previously we matched 50% to 100% of the participant’s contributions to the plan up to a maximum of 6% of the participant’s contribution and our match percentage was based on employee tenure. Our expense incurred totaled approximately $3.2 million, $2.4 million and $2.6 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Note 21 — Recent Accounting Developments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004)
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which supersedes the existing SFAS 123, which we adopted in 2003 using the prospective method of transition as described therein. SFAS 123R requires all share-based employee compensation, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value and requires, at a minimum, a modified prospective application method of adoption. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R will be applied prospectively to new and modified awards granted on or after the required effective date. In addition, compensation expense is required to be recognized over the remaining vesting period for the unvested portion of outstanding awards granted prior to the effective date. The measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS 123R that apply to our stock option plans are similar to those currently being followed by us for awards granted on or after January 1, 2003. The primary change in expense recognition requirements, which also applies to our unvested restricted stock awards, relates to the treatment of forfeitures. Under SFAS 123R, expected forfeitures are required to be estimated in determining periodic compensation expense, whereas we currently recognize forfeitures as they occur. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we will estimate forfeitures of unvested awards of stock options and restricted stock and record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reflect the compensation expense that would not have been recognized in prior periods had forfeitures been estimated prior to the date of adoption. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005, although early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, our periodic compensation expense will increase due to the recognition of expense for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, for which no expense is currently being recognized. Based on preliminary estimates of such additional compensation expense, we do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153
      In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, or SFAS 153. The guidance in APB Opinion

F-42


Table of Contents

No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. This guidance, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Statement of Position 03-3
      In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, or SOP 03-3. SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. This SOP requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected are required to be recognized as an impairment. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. SOP 03-3 also is required to be applied prospectively to decreases in cash flows expected to be collected that relate to loans previously acquired at a discount. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SOP 03-3 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-16
      In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue No. 03-16, EITF 03-16, regarding accounting for investments in limited liability companies. The Task Force reached a consensus that an investment in an LLC that maintains a “specific ownership account” for each investor — similar to a partnership capital account structure — should be viewed as similar to an investment in a limited partnership for purposes of determining whether a noncontrolling investment in an LLC should be accounted for using the cost method or the equity method. EITF 03-16 is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. We do not anticipate that the adoption of EITF No. 03-16 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Note 22 — Subsequent Events
Dividend Declared
      On January 28, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, that was paid on February 28, 2005, to stockholders of record on February 18, 2005.
Redemption of TOPRS
      On January 11, 2005, we redeemed for cash all outstanding TOPRS (see Note 7) for a total redemption price of $50 per security, or $15.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions through the redemption date.
Redemption of Class D Preferred Stock
      On January 21, 2005, we redeemed for cash the remaining 1.25 million shares outstanding of the Class D Preferred Stock for a total redemption price of $25.0425 per share, which included a redemption price of $25 per share, and $0.0425 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through January 21, 2005.

Acquisition of Palazzo East at Park La Brea
      On February 28, 2005, we completed the acquisition of Palazzo East at Park La Brea, a mid-rise apartment community with 610 units, for approximately $199.3 million. Palazzo East at Park La Brea is the third of three phases to be completed as part of the Park La Brea development. In connection with the Casden Transactions, we agreed to purchase all three phases of the Park La Brea development upon completion and attainment of 60% occupancy (see Note 9). For Palazzo East at Park La Brea, we paid approximately $86.8 million in cash and were required to repay existing mortgage indebtedness of approximately $113.0 million. The repayment of existing mortgage indebtedness was funded through a variable rate property note of $112.5 million.

Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit.

The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Common Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Common Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Common Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Common Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

(E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may transfer the shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a transfer is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 3.4.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (l) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. if any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 3.4.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Common Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Common Stock on behalf of the Corporation. 10 (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Common Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred.

The dividends payable with respect to the Initial Dividend Period shall be determined solely by reference to the Base Rate. The amount referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) with respect to each succeeding Dividend Period shall be determined as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock, or portion thereof calculated to the fourth decimal point, into which a share of Class B Preferred Stock would be convertible at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date (based on the Conversion Price then in effect) by the aggregate cash dividends payable or paid for such Dividend Period in respect of a share of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the payment of dividends on the Common Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. If (A) the Corporation pays a cash dividend on the Common Stock after the -7- Dividend Payment Date for the corresponding Dividend Period and (B) the dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), taking into account the Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A), exceeds the dividend previously declared on the Class B Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend to the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock on the date that the Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A) is paid, in an amount equal to the difference between the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (B) and the dividends previously declared on the Class B Preferred Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class B Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on a record date fixed by the Board of Directors which shall be not more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date and, within such 60 day period, shall be the same date as the record date for the regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the Common Stock for the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates (or, if there is no such record date for Common Stock, then such date as the Board of Directors may fix). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Upon a final administrative determination by the Internal Revenue Service that the Corporation does not qualify as a real estate investment trust in accordance with Section 856 of the Code, the Base Rate set forth in (a)(i) will be increased to $3.03125 until such time as the Corporation regains its status as a real estate investment trust; provided, however, that if the Corporation contests its loss of real estate investment trust status in Federal Court, following its receipt of an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable basis to contest such loss of status, the Base Rate shall not be increased during the pendency of such judicial proceeding; provided further, however, that upon a final judicial determination in Federal Tax Court, Federal District Court or the Federal Claims Court that the Corporation does not qualify as a real estate investment trust, the Base Rate will be increased as stated above from the date of such judicial determination. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class B Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class B Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class B Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. -8- (c) So long as any of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment on the Class B Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class B Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class B Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case (i) the full cumulative dividends (including all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) on all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock of the Corporation shall have been paid or such dividends have been declared and set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Class B Preferred Stock and all past dividend periods with respect to such Parity Stock and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been paid or set apart for the payment of the full dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Class B Preferred Stock and the current dividend period with respect to such Parity Stock. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive One Hundred Dollars ($100) per share of Class B Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an -9- amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class B Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class B Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to August 4, 2002. On and after August 4, 2002, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class B Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to the Call Date. (b) Shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation on the date specified in the notice to holders required under paragraph (d) of this Section 5 (the "Call Date"). The Call Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Parity Stock of the Corporation have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class B Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless -10- all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class B Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class B Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Call Date; (2) the number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (4) the then-current Conversion Price. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the shares of Class B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class B Preferred Stock called for redemption (except that, in the case of a Call Date after a dividend record date and prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, holders of Class B Preferred Stock on the dividend record date will be entitled on such Dividend Payment Date to receive the dividend payable on such shares), (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class B Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Call Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the -11- certificates for any such shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class B Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class B Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including shares of Class B Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class B Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. At any time on or after August 4, 1998. Holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, a holder of shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time on or after August 4, 1998 to convert such shares, in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of authorized but previously unissued shares of Common Stock per each share of Class B Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class B Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in the last subparagraph of paragraph (b) of this Section 7) and by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 7; provided, however, that the right to convert shares of Class B Preferred Stock called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of business on the Call Date fixed for such redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5 of this Article. (b) In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each share of Class B Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert such -12- share of Class B Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class B Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). Holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class B Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or send on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7. 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 Class B Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. If the dividend payment record date for the Class B Preferred Stock and Common Stock do not coincide, and the preceding sentence does not operate to ensure that a holder of shares of Class B Preferred Stock whose shares are converted into Common Stock does not receive dividends on both the shares of Class B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock into which such shares are converted for the same Dividend Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent, and the Transfer Agent is authorized to ensure that no conversion after the earlier of such record dates will be accepted until after the latter of such record dates. -13- (c) No fractional share of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of shares of Class B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one share shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock so surrendered. (d) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the day 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 Class B Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock (or fraction of a share 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 Class B Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (d)(i) of this Section 7 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in paragraph (h) below) in the case of a dividend or 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 Corporation shall issue after the Issue Date rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below in this paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 7) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (Y) the number of shares that could be -14- purchased at such Fair Market Value from the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (YY) 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 paragraph (h) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation 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 Directors. (iii) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date make a distribution on its Common Stock other than in cash or shares of Common Stock (including any distribution in securities (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 7)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "distribution"), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the next day following the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date and (Y) the number of shares determined by dividing (aa) the aggregate value of the property being distributed by (bb) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided below). The value of the property being distributed shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, if the property being distributed is a publicly traded security, its value shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure for calculating the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (calculated for a period of five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the twentieth Trading Day after the distribution). Neither the issuance by the Corporation of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed a distribution under this paragraph. (iv) If after the Issue Date the Corporation shall acquire, pursuant to an issuer or self tender offer, all or any portion of the outstanding Common Stock and such tender offer involves the payment of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such offer, that exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then the Conversion Price in effect on the opening of business on the day next succeeding the Expiration -15- Time shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including the shares acquired in the tender offer (the "Acquired Shares")) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, multiplied by (Y) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the Acquired Shares and (YY) the product of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Acquired Shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by (II) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. (v) 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 paragraph (d)(v) 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 paragraph (d)(v)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of (A) any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under such plan or (B) any options, rights or shares of Common Stock pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or other stock-based plan maintained by the Corporation. 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 share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this paragraph (d) of this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (d), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event. (e) If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, issuer or self tender offer for at least 30% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Common Stock, but excluding any transaction as to which paragraph (d)(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 shares of Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Class B Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive -16- stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Class B Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction (without giving effect to any Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 7(d)(iv) of this Article). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (e), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (f) If: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions); or (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other rights or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange, an issuer or self tender offer shall have been commenced for at least 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or an amendment thereto changing the maximum number of shares sought or the amount or type of consideration being offered therefor shall have been adopted), or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Class B Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (A) the record date for the payment of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record date is not established, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected -17- that holders 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, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the date on which such tender offer commenced, the date on which such tender offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto). 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. (g) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation 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 each holder of shares of Class B Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation. (h) In any case in which paragraph (d) of this Section 7 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class B Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 7. (i) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any capital stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7. (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class B Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Class B Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. (k) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred -18- Stock not theretofore converted into Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (k), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit set forth in the Charter of the Corporation). The Corporation covenants that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. (l) The Corporation 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 or redemption of shares of Class B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be converted or redeemed, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (m) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for a period of at least twenty Business Days, if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. (n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter), after taking into account any waiver of such limitation granted to any holder of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class B Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class B Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); -19- (b) on a parity with the Class B Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class B Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class B Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Stock or if the holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series ("Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever (i) six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class B Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, or (ii) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to $0.4625 (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7(d) of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend") the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) (in each case if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to Voting Preferred Stock (as defined below)) and the holders of shares of Class B Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of every other series or class of Parity Stock (any other such series, the "Voting Preferred Stock"), voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i), all arrears in dividends on the Class B Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, then the -20- right of the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all Persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class B Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class B Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock and of the Voting Preferred Stock for the election of the two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class B 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.

If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class B Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class B Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class B Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer.

Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class C Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date.

No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class C Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment on the Class C Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock.

(d) So long as any of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case the full cumulative dividends (including all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) on all outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall have been paid or such dividends have been declared and set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(d), the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) or redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 11 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive TwentyFive Dollars ($25) per share of Class C Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class C Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class C Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to December 23, 2002(2) except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after December 23, 2002(3), the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class C Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"). In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class C Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, 'capital shares' means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. 12 (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class C Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class C Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class C Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of shares of Class C Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; and (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the shares of Class C Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class C Preferred Stock called for redemption (except that, in the case of a Redemption Date after a dividend record date and prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, holders of Class C Preferred Stock on the dividend record date will be entitled on such Dividend Payment Date to receive the dividend payable on such shares), (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class C Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. 13 As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class C Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class C Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class C Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class C Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class C Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class C Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class C Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class C Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class C Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class C Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Stock or if the holders of Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series ("Junior Stock"). 14 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class C Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all Persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class C Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then remaining director elected by the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class C Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock voting as a single class 15 with the holders of all other classes or series of Preferred Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in Person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the ByLaws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class C Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, the increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class of Senior Stock (whether or not such class of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class C Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class C Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class C Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock shall have the right to vote with the Class C Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class C Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one (.25) vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Class C Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class C Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 16 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS.

(F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class C Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class C Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the 18 meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class C Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class C Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of longterm indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class C Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or nonaction) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void AB INITIO or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class C Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(d) of this Article. 10.3.

Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class C Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void AB INITIO with respect to such shares of Class C Preferred Stock.

Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on April 15, 1998. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class D Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date. Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class D Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30day months and a 360day year. Holders of Class D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class D Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class D Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class D Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for 7 such payment on the Class D Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class D Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class D Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class D Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case the full cumulative dividends (including all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) on all outstanding shares of Class D Preferred Stock shall have been paid or such dividends have been declared and set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Class D Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(d), the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) or redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive TwentyFive Dollars ($25) per share of Class D Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final 8 distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class D Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class D Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class D Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to February 19, 2003, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after February 19, 2003, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class D Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"). In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class D Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, 'capital shares' means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless 9 and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class D Preferred Stock have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class D Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class D Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class D Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class D Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class D Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of shares of Class D Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; and (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the shares of Class D Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class D Preferred Stock called for redemption (except that, in the case of a Redemption Date after a dividend record date and prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, holders of Class D Preferred Stock on the dividend record date will be entitled on such Dividend Payment Date to receive the dividend payable on such shares), (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class D Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the 10 Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class D Preferred Stock so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class D Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class D Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class D Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class D Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class D Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class D Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class D Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class D Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class D Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class D Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class D Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); 11 (b) on a parity with the Class D Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class D Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class D Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Stock or if the holders of Class D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series ("Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class D Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class D Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all Persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class D Preferred 12 Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class D 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then remaining director elected by the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class D Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Preferred Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in Person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the ByLaws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class D Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class D Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, the increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class of Senior Stock (whether or not such class of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class D Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision 13 is made for the redemption of all shares of Class D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class D Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock shall have the right to vote with the Class D Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class D Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one (.25) vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Class D Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class D Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated interdealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class D Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class D Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into 14 through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated interdealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class D Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class D Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated interdealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class D Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class D Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of shares of Class D Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class D Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class D Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class D Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has 15 attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class D Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of longterm indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class D Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or nonaction) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void AB INITIO or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class D Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(d) of this Article. 10.3. TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "EXCESS TRANSFER") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated interdealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Preferred Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "PROHIBITED TRANSFEREE"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class D Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the 16 exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class D Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class D Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class D Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class D Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void AB INITIO with respect to such shares of Class D Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class D Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void AB INITIO and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class D Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price 17 paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class D Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class D Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class G Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class G Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class G Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

(b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. 9 (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class G Preferred Stock have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class G Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class G Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class G Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class G Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class G Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice of the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of shares of Class G Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; and (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the shares of Class G Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class G Preferred Stock called for redemption(except that, in the case of a Redemption Date after a dividend record date and prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, holders of Class G Preferred Stock on the dividend record date will be entitled to such Dividend Payment Date to receive the dividend payable on such shares), (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class G Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class G Preferred Stock so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class G Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class G Preferred 10 Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class G Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class G Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class G Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class G Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class G Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. Status of Reacquired Stock. All shares of Class G Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class G Preferred Stock. 7. Ranking. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class G Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class G Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class G Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class G Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Stock"); and 11 (c) junior to the Class G Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Stock or if the holders of Class G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series ("Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class G Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class G Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all Persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class G Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class G 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 12 previously terminated as above provided. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class G Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Preferred Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in Person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class G Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class G Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, the increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class of Senior Stock (whether or not such class of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class G Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class G Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class G Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock shall have the right to vote with the Class G Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class G Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one(.25) vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Class G Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 13 9.

The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class G Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS.

(F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class G Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class G Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH.

TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated interdealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Preferred Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class G Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee.

The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class G Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class G Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class G Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class G Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class G Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgement to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class G Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class G Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class G Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and 17 (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class G Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 10.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class G Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 10.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporations's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 10.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION.

In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT.

For a period of 270 days following the purchase of Class G Preferred Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a corporation or a partnership and (ii) participates in an offering of the Class G Preferred Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class G Preferred Stock purchased by it as a part of or in connection with such offering and with respect to any Class G Preferred Stock purchased in connection with market making activities. 10.9 LEGEND.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class H Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class H Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class H Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class H Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to August 14, 2003, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after August 14, 2003, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class H Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"); provided, however, that in the event of a redemption of shares of Class H Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of 9 business on such dividend record date, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class H Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership, of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class H Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class H Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class H Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class H Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class H Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class H Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of shares of Class H Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (4) the redemption price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be (x) payable as part of the redemption price, or (y) payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. 10 Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class H Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class H Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class H Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class H Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class H Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class H Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class H Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class H Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class H Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class H Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class H Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class H Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class H Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class H Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, 11 then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class H Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class H Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class H Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class H Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class H Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class H Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, or Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class H Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 12 8.

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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class H Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class H Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. 13 (b) So long as any shares of Class H Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66- 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class H Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class H Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class H Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class H Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class H Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article.

Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit.

The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class H Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class H Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class H Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class H Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class H Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class H Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class H Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class H Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 18 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred.

DIVIDENDS.

Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on November 15, 1998. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class J Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on a record date fixed by the Board of Directors which shall not be more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date and, within such 60 day period, shall be the same date as the record date for the regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the Class A Common Stock for the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates (or if there is no such record date for Class A Common Stock, then such date as the Board of Directors may fix). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) Any dividend payable on the Class J Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class J Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class J Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class J Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other 9 distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Parity Stock unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment of such dividends on the Class J Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such shares of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class J Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class J Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing 10 or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, setting apart for payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive One Hundred Dollars ($100) per share of Class J Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class J Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class J Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class J Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class J Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 11 5. REDEMPTION. The Class J Preferred Stock is not redeemable, other than as specified in Section 11.2 hereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class J Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including without limitation shares of Class J Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion into Class A Common Stock) shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class J Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, a holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time on or after the Issue Date to convert such shares, in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of authorized but previously unissued shares of Class A Common Stock per each share of Class J Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class J Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in subparagraph (b)(iv) of this Section 7.1) and by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) (i) In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each share of Class J Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert such share of Class J Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class J Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or 12 evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). (ii) A holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall, as of the date of the conversion of such shares to shares of Class A Common Stock, be entitled to receive cash payment in respect of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon as of the time of such conversion, provided, however, that payment in respect of any dividend on such shares that has been declared but for which the Dividend Payment Date has not yet been reached shall be payable as of such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares. (iii) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class J Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or send on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class J Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. (iv) 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 Class J Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. If the dividend payment record date for the Class J Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock do not coincide, and the preceding sentence does not operate to ensure that a holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock whose shares are converted into Class A Common Stock does not receive dividends on both the shares of Class J Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are converted for the same Dividend Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent, and the Transfer Agent is authorized to ensure, that no conversion after the earlier of such record dates will be accepted until after the latter of such record dates. 13 (c) No fractional share of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of shares of Class J Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one share shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class J Preferred Stock so surrendered. 7.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION. (a) The Corporation shall have the right to require that all or part of the issued and outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock under the following circumstances: (i) At any time on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, in the event that the Internal Rate of Return exceeds 12.5%, the Corporation shall have the right to require the issued and outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock to be converted, in whole or in part, into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2. (ii) At any time after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, so long as the average of the daily Current Market Prices of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock during the five most recent Trading Days is equal to or greater than $40, the Corporation shall have the right to require the issued and outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock to be converted, in whole or in part, into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2. (b) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall have the right, under the circumstances set forth in (a) (i) or (ii) above, to convert such shares, in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of authorized but previously unissued shares of Class A Common Stock per each share of Class J Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class J Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in subparagraph (c)(v) of this Section 7.2). (c) (i) In order to exercise the conversion right, the Corporation shall, promptly upon the occurrence of an event described in (a)(i) or (ii) above, and in no event later than the close of business on the next succeeding business day, give notice of such conversion to each holder of record of the shares to be converted. Such 14 notice shall be provided by facsimile or, if facsimile is not available, then by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Any notice which was transmitted or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date received by the holder. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the date of conversion, which date may be any date within one business day following the date on which the notice is transmitted or mailed; (2) the number of shares of Class J Preferred Stock to be converted and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be converted, the number of such shares to be converted; (3) the event which gave rise to the conversion right; and (4) the then current Conversion Price. (ii) Upon receiving such notice of conversion, each such holder shall promptly surrender the certificates representing such shares of Class J Preferred Stock as are being converted on the conversion date, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that the failure to so surrender any such certificates shall not in any way affect the validity of the conversion of the underlying shares of Class J Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such shares of Class J Preferred Stock are registered, each such share surrendered following conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). (iii) A holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall, as of the date of the conversion of such shares to shares of Class A Common Stock, be entitled to receive cash payment in respect of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon as of the time of such conversion, provided, however, that payment in respect of any dividend on such shares that has been declared but for which the Dividend Payment Date has not yet been reached shall be payable as of such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares. (iv) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class J Preferred Stock as aforesaid, and in any event no later than three business days after the date of such surrender, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or send on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class J Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 7.2. 15 (v) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid. If the dividend payment record dates for the Class J Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock do not coincide, and the preceding sentence does not operate to ensure that a holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock whose shares are converted into Class A Common Stock does not receive dividends on both the shares of Class J Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are converted for the same Dividend Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent, and the Transfer Agent is authorized to ensure, that no conversion after the earlier of such record dates will be accepted until after the latter of such record dates. (d) No fractional share of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of shares of Class J Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount of cash based upon the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one of any holder's shares shall be converted at one time, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class J Preferred Stock so surrendered. 7.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on 16 the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the day 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 Class J Preferred Stock thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction of a share of Class A 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 Class J Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.3 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) in the case of a dividend or 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 Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below in this paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.3) to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Class A Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (Y) the number of shares that could be purchased at such Fair Market Value from the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (YY) the number of additional shares of Class A 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 paragraph (e) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Class A Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation 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 Directors. 17 (iii) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock other than in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock (including any distribution in securities (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.3)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "distribution"), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the next day following the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date and (Y) the number of shares determined by dividing (aa) the aggregate value of the property being distributed by (bb) the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided below). The value of the property being distributed shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, if the property being distributed is a publicly traded security, its value shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure for calculating the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common Stock (calculated for a period of five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the twentieth Trading Day after the distribution). Neither the issuance by the Corporation of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed a distribution under this paragraph. (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 paragraph (a)(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 7.3 (other than this paragraph (a)(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 shares of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under such plan or (B) any options, rights or shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any stock option, stock purchases or other stock-based plan maintained by the Corporation. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent ($.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 paragraph (a) of this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation 18 shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (a), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event. (b) If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including with limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock, but excluding any transaction as to which paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.3 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Class J Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which one share of Class J Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction. The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately apply to successive Transactions: (c) If: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Class A Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions); or (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Class A Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other rights or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the outstanding Class A Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or 19 (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (A) the record date for the payment of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record date is not established, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, 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. (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation 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 each holder of shares of Class J Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock record of the Corporation. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.3 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class J Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 7.2(d) or Section 7.1(c). (f) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any capital stock of the Corporation except as specifically set forth in 20 this Section 7. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 7, there shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price upon the payment of any cash dividends or distributions on any capital stock of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the Special Dividend (as such term is defined in the Class E Articles Supplementary) on the Corporation's Class E Preferred Stock or upon the automatic conversion of the shares of such Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, as provided in the Class E Articles Supplementary. (g) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class J Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Class J Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. (h) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class J Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (h), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). The Corporation covenants that any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. (i) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of shares of Class J Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless 21 and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (j) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for a period of at least twenty Business Days, if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class J Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter), after taking into account any waiver of such limitation granted to any holder of the shares of Class J Preferred Stock. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class J Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class J Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class J Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class J Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, or Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class J Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock, (ii) such capital stock is Class E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or (iii) the holders of Class J 22 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class J Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class J Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class J Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class J 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 23 thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class J Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class J Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of or supplement to the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase or decrease the authorized amount of, or to issue any Junior Stock, Class J Preferred Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class J Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized). For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class J Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class J Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class J Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one (.25) vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class J Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 24 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class J Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 11. OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (a) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit and the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit. (b) Transfers in Excess of Ownership Limit. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder) Beneficially Owning shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class J Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class J Preferred Stock. (c) Transfers in Excess of Initial Holder Limit. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class J Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class J Preferred Stock. (d) Transfers Resulting in "Closely Held" Status. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 25 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class J Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class J Preferred Stock. (e) Severability on Void Transactions. A Transfer of a share of Class J Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(b), (c) or (d) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit or the Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class J Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class J Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then Current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class J Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class J Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(c) of this Article. 26 11.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (a) Establishment of Trust. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder) would Beneficially Own shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit (in either such event, the Person or Initial Holder that would Beneficially Own shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Initial Holder Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class J Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Initial Holder Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit or the Initial Holder Limit. (b) Appointment of Trustee. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (c) Status of Shares Held by the Trustee. Shares of Class J Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(e), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class J Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (d) Dividend and Voting Rights. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class J Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class J Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class J Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable 27 Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class J Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit or the Initial Holder Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class J Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (e) Restrictions on Transfer. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 11.3(e). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(e) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class J Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class J Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (f) Purchase Right in Stock Transferred to the Trustee. Shares of Class J Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (g) Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class J Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) 28 each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 11.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class J Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 11.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 11.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. From and after the Issue Date certain record and Beneficial Owners and transferees of shares of Class J Preferred Stock will be required to provide certain information as set out below. (a) Annual Disclosure.

Each such record or Beneficial Owner of Class J Preferred Stock shall, upon demand by the Corporation, disclose to the Corporation in writing such additional information with respect to the Beneficial Ownership of the Class J Preferred Stock as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate or necessary to (i) comply with the provisions of the Code regarding the qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code and (ii) ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit or the Initial Holder Limit, as applicable.

(b) Disclosure at the Request of the Corporation. Any Person that is a Beneficial Owner of shares of Class J Preferred Stock and any Person (including the stockholder of record) that is holding shares of Class J Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Owner, and any proposed transferee of shares, shall provide such information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the Corporation's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or other governmental agency, to determine any such compliance or to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit and the Initial Holder Limit, and shall provide a statement or affidavit to the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Class J Preferred Stock already Beneficially Owned by such stockholder or 29 proposed transferee and any related persons specified, which statement or affidavit shall be in the form prescribed by the Corporation for that purpose. 11.6 REMEDIES NOT LIMITED. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable (subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article) (i) to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders in the preservation of the Corporation's status as a REIT and (ii) to insure compliance with the Ownership Limit and the Initial Holder Limit. 11.7 AMBIGUITY.

The following exceptions shall apply or may be established with respect to the limitations of Section 11.1 of this Article. (a) Waiver of Ownership Limit. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of tax counsel or other evidence or undertaking acceptable to it, may, but shall not be required to, waive the application, in whole or in part, of the Ownership Limit to a Person subject to the Ownership Limit, if such person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a) of the Code and is a corporation, partnership, estate or trust. In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion. (b) Pledge by Initial Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the pledge by the Initial Holder of all or any portion of the Class J Preferred Stock directly owned at any time or from time to time shall not constitute a violation of Section 11.1 of this Article and the pledgee shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class J Preferred Stock so pledged to it either as a result of the pledge or upon foreclosure. (c) Underwriters. For a period of 270 days (or such longer period of time as any underwriter described below shall hold an unsold allotment of Class J Preferred Stock) following the purchase of Class J Preferred Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity and (ii) participates in an offering of the Class J Preferred Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class J Preferred Stock purchased by it as a part of or in connection with such offering and with respect to any Class J Preferred Stock purchased in connection with market making activities. 30 11.9 LEGEND.

If the restrictions on transfer are violated (i) the transfer of the shares of Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock represented hereby will be void in accordance with the Charter (including the Articles Supplementary setting forth the terms of the Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) or (ii) the shares of Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock represented hereby will automatically be transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries." 11.10 SEVERABILITY.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class K Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class K Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class K Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class K Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class K Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to February 20, 2002, except as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. During the period beginning on February 20, 2002, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class K Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Cash Redemption Price applicable thereto. On and after February 20, 2002, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class K Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, in exchange for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (i) 105% of the applicable Cash Redemption Price, divided by (ii) the Redemption Market Price applicable to such redemption. In lieu of any fractional shares of Class A Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon any redemption of Class K Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the applicable Redemption Market Price multiplied by the fractional interest (computed to the nearest 1/100th of a percent) that otherwise would have been deliverable upon such redemption of Class K Preferred Stock. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class K Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such dividend record 10 date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption for cash pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class K Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class K Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class K Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class K Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class K Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash or shares of Class A Common Stock; and (iv) the redemption price payable on such Redemption Date (whether in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock), including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next Dividend 11 Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class K Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class K Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class K Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the right to receive the cash payable, or shares of Class A Common Stock issuable, upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class K Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class K Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. At the close of business on the Redemption Date, without any further action, each holder of shares of Class K Preferred Stock redeemed for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be deemed a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which such Class K Convertible Preferred Stock has been redeemed (unless the Corporation defaults on its obligation to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock or cash). The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect such redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class K Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class K Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class K Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) or shares of Class A Common Stock for which such shares have been 12 redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class K Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class K Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. (e) All shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon redemption of shares of Class K Preferred Stock shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, and prior to giving any notice of redemption the Corporation shall take any corporate action necessary therefor. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class K Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class K Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class K Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class K Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing $25 by the Conversion Price in effect at such time and by surrender of the certificate representing such shares to be converted in the manner provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) In order to convert shares of Class K Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, accompanied by 13 the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b), and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class K Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class K Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable in such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class K Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class K Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class K Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice, instruments of transfer and funds, if any, as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class K Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class K Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Holders of Class K Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that Class K Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Record Date and the opening of business 14 on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except shares converted after the issuance of a notice of redemption with respect to a Redemption Date during such period or coinciding with such Dividend Payment Date, which will be entitled to such dividend) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend Payment Date. A holder of Class K Preferred Stock on a Record Date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for conversion into shares of Class A Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such shares of Class K Preferred Stock on such date, and the converting holder need not include payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender of Class K Preferred Stock for conversion. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class K Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class K Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class K Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class K Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Class K Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such share been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to 15 this subsection (i) of this Section 7.2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i), the holder of any share of Class K Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock. (ii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or stock ownership or purchase plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining 16 the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent). (iii) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock any capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation (excluding (A) those referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.2(a), (B) dividends and distributions paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation, and (C) distributions upon mergers or consolidations to which subsection (b) of this Section 7.2 applies), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock, less the fair market value on such record date (determined by the Board or Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Class A Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (iv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2(a), the current market price per share of Class A Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock for the shorter of (A) 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Time of Determination" shall mean the time and date of the earlier of (A) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distribution referred to in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2, or (B) the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading on the exchange or market referred to in the definition of "Closing Price." (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection (v) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into 17 account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reduction in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.2, as it shall determine in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable to the recipients. Except as set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services. (vi) The Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of shares of Class K Preferred Stock a notice of the decrease at least 15 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or the securities or other property of another entity), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets to another entity, there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price, and lawful provision shall be made by the entity formed by such consolidation or the entity whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the merger or consolidation be owned, by virtue of the merger or consolidation, by the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or the entity which shall have acquired such assets of the Corporation, such that each share of Class K Preferred Stock then outstanding will, without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class K Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. In the case of a cash merger of the Corporation into another entity or any other cash transaction of the type mentioned in this Section 7.2(b), each share of Class K Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible at the Conversion Price in effect at such time into the same amount of cash per share into which each share of Class K Preferred Stock would have been convertible had 18 such share been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such cash merger or other transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers. (c) If (i) the Corporation shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2; (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Class A Common Stock generally of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants; (iii) there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock (other than an event to which subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case, for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be given to the holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.2(c). (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Class K Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Corporation may elect to defer (but only until the filing by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent of the certificate required by subsection 7.2(d)) (i) issuing to 19 the holder of any share of Class K Preferred Stock converted after such record date or effective date the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share. (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a), the holder of any share of Class K Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of Class K Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Class A Common Stock contained in this Section 7.2. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of Class K Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock not theretofore converted and on or before (and as a condition of) taking any action that would cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion in excess of the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Corporation shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares of Class K Preferred Stock were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Class K Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes, payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class K Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class K 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 Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. 20 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class K Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter). 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class K Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class K Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class K Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class K Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class K Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 21 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class K Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class K Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly.

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 Class K 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. 22 (b) So long as any shares of Class K Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class K Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class K Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class K Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class K Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class K Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class K Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class K Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class K Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10.

Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look- Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee.

The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class K Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class K Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class K Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class K Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class K Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 11.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class K Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class K Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class K Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 27 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class K Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 11.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class K Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 11.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 11.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION.

In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT.

When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class I Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class I Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) or redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, setting apart for payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class I Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class I Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class I Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class I Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class I 9 Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class I Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to March 1, 2005, except as set forth in Section 10(b) of this Article. On and after March 1, 2005, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class I Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"); provided, however, that in the event of a redemption of shares of Class I Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such dividend record date, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class I Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership, of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class I Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class I Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class I Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class I Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class I Preferred Stock. 10 (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class I Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of shares of Class I Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (4) the redemption price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be (x) payable as part of the redemption price, or (y) payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class I Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class I Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class I Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class I Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class I Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the redemption price in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class I Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class I Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class 11 I Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class I Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class I Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class I Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class I Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class I Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class I Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class I Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class I Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class I Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class I Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class I Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class I Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the 12 Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class I Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class I Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class I Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of 13 Class I Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class I 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class I Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of or supplement to the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase or decrease the authorized amount of, or to issue any Junior Stock, Class I Preferred Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class I Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class I Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to 14 take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class I Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class I Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class I Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class I Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class I Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9.

(c)(i) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class I Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class I Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class I Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class I Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10(h) of this Article, such shares of Class I Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the 17 exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit.

(iv) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class I Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class I Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class I Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (v) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10(c)(v).

Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10(c)(v) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class I Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class I Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (vi) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO TRUSTEE. Shares of Class I Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred.

(a) The holders of Class L Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose, quarterly cash dividends on the Class L Preferred Stock in an amount per share equal to (i) during the period from the Issue Date through and including May 27, 2002, the greater of $0.50625 or the quarterly cash dividend paid or payable (determined on each Dividend Payment Date by reference to the dividend most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock) on the number of shares of Class A 7 Common Stock (or portion thereof) into which a share of Class L Preferred Stock is convertible, and (ii) during the period from and after May 28, 2002, the greater of $0.625 or the quarterly cash dividend paid or payable (determined on each Dividend Payment Date by reference to the dividend most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock) on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or portion thereof) into which a share of Class L Preferred Stock is convertible. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on August 28, 1999. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class L Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the tenth Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (each a "Record Date"). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) Any dividend payable on the Class L Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class L Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class L Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class L Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class L Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Parity Stock unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment of such dividends on the Class L Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such shares of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class L Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class L Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. 8 (d) So long as any of the shares of Class L Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class L Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not 9 earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class L Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class L Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class L Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class L Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION (a) Shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to May 28, 2002, except as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. On or after May 28, 2002, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class L Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, for cash in an amount equal to the applicable Redemption Price. (b) In the event of any redemption, the Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all preceding Dividend Periods no shares of Class L Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class L Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock. 10 (d) In the event of a redemption, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class L Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class L Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class L Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class L Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect such redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class L Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class L Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. 11 As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class L Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for the cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class L Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class L Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class L Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class L Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class L Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class L Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing $25 by the Conversion Price in effect at such time and by surrender of the certificate representing such shares to be converted in the manner provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) In order to convert shares of Class L Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by 12 such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class L Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class L Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable in such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class L Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class L Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class L Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice and instruments of transfer as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class L Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and a check or cash in respect of (i) the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in the last paragraph of this subsection (b), and (ii) any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for 13 which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class L Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such Record Date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class L Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class L Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class L Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) if such share has not been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any record date for the payment of a dividend on the Class A Common Stock and the opening of business on the corresponding dividend payment date, an amount equal to the product of (A) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock or the Class L Preferred Stock, whichever is later, to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class L Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class L Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class L Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class L Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount 14 in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Class L Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such share been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) of this Section 7.2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i), the holder of any share of Class L Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock. (ii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or stock ownership or purchase plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend 15 reinvestment plan of the Corporation in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent). (iii) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock any capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation (excluding (A) those referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.2(a), (B) dividends and distributions paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation, and (C) distributions upon mergers or consolidations to which subsection (b) of this Section 7.2 applies), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock, less the fair market value on such record date (determined by the Board or Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) of 16 the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Class A Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (iv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2(a), the current market price per share of Class A Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock for the shorter of (A) 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Time of Determination" shall mean the time and date of the earlier of (A) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distribution referred to in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2, or (B) the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading on the exchange or market referred to in the definition of "Closing Price." (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection (v) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reduction in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.2, as it shall determine in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable to the recipients. Except as set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services. (vi) The Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of shares of Class L Preferred Stock a notice of the decrease at least 15 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. 17 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or the securities or other property of another entity), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets to another entity, there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price, and lawful provision shall be made by the entity formed by such consolidation or the entity whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the merger or consolidation be owned, by virtue of the merger or consolidation, by the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or the entity which shall have acquired such assets of the Corporation, such that each share of Class L Preferred Stock then outstanding will, without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class L Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. In the case of a cash merger of the Corporation into another entity or any other cash transaction of the type mentioned in this Section 7.2(b), each share of Class L Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible at the Conversion Price in effect at such time into the same amount of cash per share into which each share of Class L Preferred Stock would have been convertible had such share been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such cash merger or other transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers. (c) If (i) the Corporation shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2; (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Class A Common Stock generally of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants; (iii) there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock (other than an event to which subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case, for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be given to the holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such 18 dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.2(c). (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Class L Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Corporation may elect to defer (but only until the filing by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent of the certificate required by subsection 7.2(d)) (i) issuing to the holder of any share of Class L Preferred Stock converted after such record date or effective date the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share. (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a), the holder of any share of Class L Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of Class L Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Class A Common Stock contained in this Section 7.2. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of Class L Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock not theretofore converted and on or before (and as a condition of) taking any action that 19 would cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion in excess of the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Corporation shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Class L Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes, payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class L Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class L 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 Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class L Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter). (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class L Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, but shall have no obligation to, adjust the Conversion Price for the Class L Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. 20 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class L Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class L Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class L Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class L Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class L Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class L Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class L Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class L Preferred Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any 21 other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class L Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class L Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class L 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class L Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 22 (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class L Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar transaction) or would convert the Class L Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class L Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class L Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class L Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class L Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class L Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class L Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class L Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class L Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 23 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Look- Through Ownership Limit.

(C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class L Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class L Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Look- Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class L Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look- Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look- Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class L Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being 24 "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class L Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class L Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class L Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class L Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class L Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class L Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of 25 Class L Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(C) of this Article. 11.3. TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Look- Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look- Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class L Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look- Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class L Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class L Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. 26 (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class L Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class L Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class L Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class L Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class L Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 11.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class L Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class L Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class L Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 27 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class L Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 11.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class L Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 11.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 11.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. From and after the Issue Date certain record and Beneficial Owners and transferees of shares of Class L Preferred Stock will be required to provide certain information as set out below.

Every record and Beneficial Owner of more than 5% (or such other percentage between 0.5% and 5%, as provided in the applicable regulations adopted under the Code) of the number of Outstanding shares of Class L Preferred Stock shall, upon written request by the Corporation, such request to be made within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such record or Beneficial Owner, the number of shares of Class L Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned, and a full description of how such shares are held. Each such record or Beneficial Owner of Class L Preferred Stock shall, upon demand by the Corporation, disclose to the Corporation in writing such additional information with respect to the Beneficial Ownership of the Class L Preferred Stock as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate or necessary to (i) comply with the provisions of the Code regarding the qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code and (ii) ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look- Through Ownership Limit, as applicable. Each stockholder of record, including without limitation any Person that holds shares of Class L Preferred Stock on behalf of a Beneficial Owner, shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the written notice described in this Section 11.5 from the Beneficial Owner. 28 (B) DISCLOSURE AT THE REQUEST OF THE CORPORATION. Any Person that is a Beneficial Owner of shares of Class L Preferred Stock and any Person (including the stockholder of record) that is holding shares of Class L Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Owner, and any proposed transferee of shares, shall provide such information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the Corporation's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or other governmental agency, to determine any such compliance or to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit, and shall provide a statement or affidavit to the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Class L Preferred Stock already Beneficially Owned by such stockholder or proposed transferee and any related persons specified, which statement or affidavit shall be in the form prescribed by the Corporation for that purpose. 11.6 REMEDIES NOT LIMITED. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable (subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article) (i) to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders in the preservation of the Corporation's status as a REIT and (ii) to insure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit. 11.7 AMBIGUITY. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of Section 11 of this Article, or in the case of an ambiguity in any definition contained in Section 11 of this Article, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. 11.8 EXCEPTIONS. The following exceptions shall apply or may be established with respect to the limitations of Section 11.1 of this Article. (A) WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of tax counsel or other evidence or undertaking acceptable to it, may waive the application, in whole or in part, of the Ownership Limit to a Person subject to the Ownership Limit, if such person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a) of the Code and is a corporation, partnership, estate or trust. In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT. (B) PLEDGE BY INITIAL HOLDER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the pledge by the Initial Holder of all or any portion of the Class L Preferred Stock directly owned at any time or from time to time shall not constitute a violation of Section 11.1 of this Article and the pledgee shall not be subject to the 29 Ownership Limit with respect to the Class L Preferred Stock so pledged to it either as a result of the pledge or upon foreclosure. (C) UNDERWRITERS. For a period of 270 days (or such longer period of time as any underwriter described below shall hold an unsold allotment of Class L Preferred Stock) following the purchase of Class L Preferred Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity and (ii) participates in an offering of the Class L Preferred Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class L Preferred Stock purchased by it as a part of or in connection with such offering and with respect to any Class L Preferred Stock purchased in connection with market making activities. 11.9 LEGEND.

If the restrictions on transfer are violated (i) the transfer of the shares of Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will be void in accordance with the Charter (including the Articles Supplementary setting forth the terms of the Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock) or (ii) the shares of Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will automatically be transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries." 11.10 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Article or any application of any such provision is determined in a final and unappealable judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any Federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. 30 11.11 BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISCRETION.

Holders of Class M Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class M Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class M Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class M Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class M Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class M Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the -8- Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the greater of (i) Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class M Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, or (ii) the amount that would be payable to the holders of Class M Preferred Stock if they had converted all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class M Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class M Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class M Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a -9- consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class M Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class M Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to January 13, 2003, except as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. On and after January 13, 2003, except as set forth in paragraph (e) below, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class M Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class M Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such dividend record date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class M Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class M Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class M Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect -10- therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (iii) the redemption price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class M Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class M Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class M Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class M Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class M Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect such redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class M Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class M Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class M Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed -11- or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class M Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class M Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class M Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, except as set forth in Section 7.2(i) of this Article, holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class M Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing $25 by the Conversion Price in effect at such time and by surrender of the certificate representing such shares to be converted in the manner provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) In order to convert shares of Class M Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class M Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class M Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable in such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class M Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class M Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the -12 Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class M Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice, instruments of transfer and funds, if any, as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class M Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and a check or cash in respect of (i) the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in the last paragraph of this subsection (b), and (ii) any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class M Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class M Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such Record Date. In addition to any such dividend, if the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class M Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class M Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of the Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, -13- the "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class M Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number (which may be a fraction) of shares of Class A Common Stock into which a share of Class M Preferred Stock is then convertible, multiplied by (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and if the date of such conversion is not a record date for the payment of a dividend on the Class A Common Stock, multiplied by (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent record date for the payment of a dividend on the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class M Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class M Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class M Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class M Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) -14- issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Class M Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such share been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) of this Section 7.2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i), the holder of any share of Class M Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock. (ii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or stock ownership or purchase plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of Class A Common -15- Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent). (iii) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock any capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation (excluding (A) those referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.2(a), (B) dividends and distributions paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation, and (C) distributions upon mergers or consolidations to which subsection (b) of this Section 7.2 applies), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock, less the fair market value on such record date (determined by the Board or Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Class A Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (iv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2(a), the current market price per share of Class A Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock for the shorter of (A) 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Time of Determination" shall mean the time and date of the earlier of (A) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distribution referred to in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2, or (B) the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading on the exchange or market referred to in the definition of "Closing Price." -16- (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection (v) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reduction in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.2, as it shall determine in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable to the recipients. Except as set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services. (vi) The Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of shares of Class M Preferred Stock a notice of the decrease at least 15 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or the securities or other property of another entity), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets to another entity, there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price, and lawful provision shall be made by the entity formed by such consolidation or the entity whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the merger or consolidation be owned, by virtue of the merger or consolidation, by the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or the entity which shall have acquired such assets of the Corporation, such that each share of Class M Preferred Stock then outstanding will, without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class M Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer (without regard to any Ownership Restrictions as defined in Article IV of the Charter) assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. In the case of a cash merger of the Corporation into another entity or any other cash transaction of the type mentioned in this -17- Section 7.2(b), each share of Class M Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible at the Conversion Price in effect at such time into the same amount of cash per share into which each share of Class M Preferred Stock would have been convertible had (without regard to any Ownership Restrictions as defined in Article IV of the Charter) such share been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such cash merger or other transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers. (c) If (i) the Corporation shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2; (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Class A Common Stock generally of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants; (iii) there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock (other than an event to which subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case, for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be given to the holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.2(c). (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Class M Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date thereof. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Corporation -18- may elect to defer (but only until the filing by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent of the certificate required by subsection 7.2(d)) (i) issuing to the holder of any share of Class M Preferred Stock converted after such record date or effective date the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share. (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a), the holder of any share of Class M Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of Class M Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Class A Common Stock contained in this Section 7.2. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of Class M Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock not theretofore converted and on or before (and as a condition of) taking any action that would cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion in excess of the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Corporation shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares of Class M Preferred Stock were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Class M Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes, payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class M Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class M Preferred Stock to be converted, and no -19- such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class M Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in Article IV of the Charter), after taking into account any applicable waivers. This limitation shall not, however, be taken into account in determining any amounts to which the holders of any shares of Class M Preferred Stock may be entitled under Sections 3, 4 or 5. (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than an action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class M Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, but shall have no obligation to, adjust the Conversion Price for the Class M Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class M Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class M Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class M Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class M Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class M Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and -20- (c) junior to the Class M Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class M Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class M Preferred Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of Parity Stock of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class M Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class M Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class M Preferred Stock may call such meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access to the -21- 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class M Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class M Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class M Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class M Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class M Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class M Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class M Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class M Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one -22- vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class M Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class M Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 11.1. RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class M Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class M Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class M Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class M Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any -23- Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class M Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class M Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class M Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class M Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class M Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class M Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2. REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class M Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class M Preferred Stock acquired -24- in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class M Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(C) of this Article. 11.3. TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class M Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class M Preferred -25- Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class M Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class M Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

The term "Transfers" and "Transferred" shall have correlative meanings.

(a) The holders of Class N Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose, quarterly cash dividends on the Class N Preferred Stock in an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rate, or (ii) the quarterly cash dividend paid or payable (determined on each Dividend Payment Date by reference to the dividend most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock) on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or portion thereof) into which a share of Class N Preferred Stock is convertible. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on October 1, 2000. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class N Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the tenth Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (each a "Record Date"). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) Any dividend payable on the Class N Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30 day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class N Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any 10 dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class N Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class N Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Parity Stock unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment of such dividends on the Class N Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such shares of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class N Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class N Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, 11 purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class N Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class N Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class N Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class N Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class N Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the 12 holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION (a) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class N Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, for cash in an amount equal to the applicable Redemption Price (i) at any time on or after September 12, 2003, (ii) on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (iii) as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all preceding Dividend Periods no shares of Class N Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class N Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock. (d) In the event of a redemption of Class N Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) above, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the 13 shares of Class N Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class N Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class N Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect such redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class N Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class N Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for the cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class N Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class N Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of 14 Class N Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class N Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class N Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing $25 by the Conversion Price in effect at such time and by surrender of the certificate representing such shares to be converted in the manner provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) In order to convert shares of Class N Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class N Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class N Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable in such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class N Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class N Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class N Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice and instruments of transfer as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written 15 instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class N Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and a check or cash in respect of (i) the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in the last paragraph of this subsection (b), and (ii) any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class N Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class N Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such Record Date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class N Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class N Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class N Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus 16 (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction thereof) into which such share of Class N Preferred Stock has been converted, (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class N Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class N Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class N Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION. (a) The Corporation shall have the right to require that all or part of the issued and outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock under the following circumstances: (i) at any time from and including the first anniversary of the Issue Date to but excluding the second anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Internal Rate of Return exceeds 20.0% per annum from and including the Issue Date (such condition, the "Conversion Condition"), on one occasion only the Corporation shall have the right, upon 30 days advance written notice, to require that up to 2,000,000 shares of Class N Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2; (ii) at any time from and including the second anniversary of the Issue Date to but excluding the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Internal 17 Rate of Return exceeds 20.0% per annum from and including the Issue Date, on one occasion only the Corporation shall have the right, upon 30 days advance written notice, to require that all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2; provided, however, that (A) if a Conversion Condition occurs and the Corporation is entitled to require the conversion referred to in Section 7.2(a)(i) and does not so convert, then the Corporation's right to require the conversion referred to in Section 7.2(a)(ii) will be limited to a right to require that up to 2,000,000 shares of Class N Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2(a)(ii); (B) if the Corporation receives a Liquidity Failure Notice pursuant to Section 7.2(c)(vi), then the right to cause a conversion under Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall thereupon terminate; and (C) the Corporation may not exercise its right to convert under Section 7.2(a)(ii) unless and until at least 90 days have transpired since the date of any conversion under Section 7.2(a)(i). (b) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, the Corporation shall have the right, under the circumstances set forth in (a)(i) or (ii) above, to convert such shares, in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of authorized but previously unissued shares of Class A Common Stock per each share of Class N Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class N Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in subparagraph (c)(v) of this Section 7.2). (c) (i) In order to exercise the conversion right, the Corporation shall, promptly upon the Corporation exercising its right to require conversion pursuant to (a)(i) or (ii) above, and in no event later than the close of business on the next succeeding business day, give notice of such conversion to each holder of record of the shares to be converted. Such notice shall be provided by facsimile or, if facsimile is not available, then by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Any notice which was transmitted or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date received by the holder. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the date of conversion, which date may be any date within thirty days following the date on which the notice is transmitted or mailed; (2) the number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock to be converted and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be converted, the number of such shares to be converted; and (3) the then current Conversion Price. 18 (ii) Upon receiving such notice of conversion, each such holder shall promptly (and in any event, within 30 days) surrender the certificates representing such shares of Class N Preferred Stock as are being converted on the conversion date, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that the failure to so surrender any such certificates shall not in any way affect the validity of the conversion of the underlying shares of Class N Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such shares of Class N Preferred Stock are registered, each such share surrendered following conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax, if any (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that such taxes have been paid). (iii) A holder of shares of Class N Preferred Stock shall, as of the date of the conversion of such shares to shares of Class A Common Stock, be entitled to receive a cash payment in respect of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon as of the time of such conversion, provided, however, that payment in respect of any dividend on such shares that has been declared but for which the Dividend Payment Date has not yet been reached shall be payable as of such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares. (iv) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class N Preferred Stock as aforesaid, and in any event no later than three business days after the date of such surrender, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or send on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class N Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 7.2. (v) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such dates and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect 19 on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid. If the dividend payment record dates for the Class N Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock do not coincide, and the preceding sentence does not operate to ensure that a holder of shares of Class N Preferred Stock whose shares are converted into Class A Common Stock does not receive dividends on both the shares of Class N Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are converted for the same Dividend Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent, and the Transfer Agent is authorized to ensure, that no conversion after the earlier of such record dates will be accepted until after the latter of such record dates. (vi) In the event that the Corporation has elected to cause a conversion of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) above, and the holders of a majority of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock so converted provide a written notice (a "Liquidity Failure Notice") to the Corporation within 90 days after the date of conversion that during such 90 day period, such holders were unable (based on commercially reasonable efforts, taking into account volume) to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon conversion on the open market at price(s) that would have provided such holder(s) with an Internal Rate of Return of at least 20% per annum thereon from the Issue Date through the date of sale of all such shares of Class A Common Stock (provided that in calculating the Inflows, instead of calculating the Weighted Average Trading Prices as provided in clause (i) of the definition of Internal Rate of Return, the Internal Rate of Return shall be calculated using the actual sale prices obtained by the holder(s)), then from and after the delivery of the Liquidity Failure Notice, the right of the Corporation to convert shares of Class N Preferred Stock under Section 7.2(ii) shall terminate. The Liquidity Failure Notice shall include a list of dates on which shares of Class A Common Stock were sold, the number and price per share so sold and shall include a calculation of the Internal Rate of Return on the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock so sold during the period. (d) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class N Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class N Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock so converted. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class N Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 20 7.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Class N Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such share been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) of this Section 7.3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i), the holder of any share of Class N Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock. (ii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.3(a)) of the Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or stock ownership or purchase plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, 21 options or warrants for Class A Common Stock would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent). (iii) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock any capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation (excluding (A) those referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.3(a), (B) dividends and distributions paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation, and (C) distributions upon mergers or consolidations to which subsection (b) of this Section 7.3 applies), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.3(a)) of the Class A Common Stock, less the fair market value on such record date (determined by the Board or Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Class A Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. 22 (iv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.3(a), the current market price per share of Class A Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock for the shorter of (A) 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Time of Determination" shall mean the time and date of the earlier of (A) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distribution referred to in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.3, or (B) the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading on the exchange or market referred to in the definition of "Closing Price." (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection (v) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reduction in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.3, as it shall determine in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable to the recipients. Except as set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services. (vi) The Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of shares of Class N Preferred Stock a notice of the decrease at least 15 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or the securities or other property of another entity), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets to another entity, there will be no adjustment of the Conversion 23 Price, and lawful provision shall be made by the entity formed by such consolidation or the entity whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the merger or consolidation be owned, by virtue of the merger or consolidation, by the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or the entity which shall have acquired such assets of the Corporation, such that each share of Class N Preferred Stock then outstanding will, without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class N Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. In the case of a cash merger of the Corporation into another entity or any other cash transaction of the type mentioned in this Section 7.3(b), each share of Class N Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible at the Conversion Price in effect at such time into the same amount of cash per share into which each share of Class N Preferred Stock would have been convertible had such share been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such cash merger or other transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3(b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers. (c) If (i) the Corporation shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.3; (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Class A Common Stock generally of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants; (iii) there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock (other than an event to which subsection (i) of Section 7.3(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case, for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be given to the holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give such 24 notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.3(c). (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Class N Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.3 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Corporation may elect to defer (but only until the filing by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent of the certificate required by subsection 7.3(d)) (i) issuing to the holder of any share of Class N Preferred Stock converted after such record date or effective date the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share. (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 7.3(a), the holder of any share of Class N Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of Class N Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Class A Common Stock contained in this Section 7.3. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of Class N Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock not theretofore converted and on or before (and as a condition of) taking any action that would cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion in excess of the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Corporation shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time 25 of computation all such outstanding shares of Class N Preferred Stock were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Class N Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes, payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class N Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class N 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 Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class N Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter). (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class N Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, but shall have no obligation to, adjust the Conversion Price for the Class N Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class N Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class N Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); 26 (b) on a parity with the Class N Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class N Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class N Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class N Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class N Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever (i) six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class N Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, or (ii) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to $0.5950 (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend") the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii) (in each case if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class N Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one (in the case of an arrearage in 27 dividends described in clause (ii)) to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i), all arrears in dividends on the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, then the right of the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class N Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and of the Voting Preferred Stock for the election of the two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class N 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 or director 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class N Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock voting as a single 28 class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class N Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction) or would convert the Class N Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class N Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class N Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class N Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class N Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class N Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class N Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class N Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class N Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof 29 for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class N Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class N Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class N Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class N Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class N Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class N Preferred Stock. 30 (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class N Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class N Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class N Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class N Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class N Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class N Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may 31 exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class N Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(C) of this Article. 11.3. TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Look- Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look- Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class N Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class N Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class N Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. 32 (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class N Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class N Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class N Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class N Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class N Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class O Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on a record date fixed by the Board of Directors which shall be not more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date and, within such 60 day period, shall be the same date as the record date for the regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the Class A Common Stock for the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates (or, if there is no such record date for Class A Common Stock, then such date as the Board of Directors may fix). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class O Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class O Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or 9 stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class O Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class O Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment on the Class O Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class O Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class O Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case (i) the full cumulative dividends (including all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) on all outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock of the Corporation shall have been paid or such dividends have been declared and set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Class O Preferred Stock and all past dividend periods with respect to such Parity Stock and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been paid or set apart for the payment of the full dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Class O Preferred Stock and the current dividend period with respect to such Parity Stock. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the 10 holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Fifty Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($52.50) per share of Class O Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class O Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class O Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class O Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class O Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, except as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. On and after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class O Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class O Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may 11 purchase or acquire shares of Class O Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class O Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by recognized overnight courier at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the day after the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class O Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; (iv) the then-current Conversion Price; (v) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date; and (vi) a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class O Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class O Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class O Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class O Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. 12 Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class O Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class O Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class O Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class O Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class O Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class O Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, except as set forth in Section 7.2 of this Article, holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class O Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class O Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1) and by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; provided, however, that the right to convert shares of Class O Preferred Stock called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at 13 the close of business on the Redemption Date fixed for such redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5 of this Article. (b) To convert shares of Class O Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class O Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class O Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class O Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class O Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class O Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice, instruments of transfer and funds, if any, as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class O Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7.1, and a check or cash in respect of the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in subsection (c), below. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other 14 than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class O Preferred Stock at the close of business on a record date for the payment of dividends on the Class O Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such record date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class O Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class O Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class O Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any dividend record date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction thereof) into which such share of Class O Preferred Stock has been converted, (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class O Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class O Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class O Preferred Stock so converted. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class O Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on 15 the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION. (a) The Corporation shall have the right to require that all or part of the issued and outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock under the following circumstances: (i) At any time from and including the first anniversary of the Issue Date to but excluding the second anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Internal Rate of Return exceeds 20.0% per annum, from and including the Issue Date (such condition the "Conversion Condition) on one occasion only, the Corporation shall have the right, upon 30 days advance written notice, to require that up to 952,381 shares of Class O Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2. (ii) At any time from and including the second anniversary of the Issue Date to but excluding the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Internal Rate of Return exceeds 20.0% per annum, from and including the Issue Date, on one occasion only, the Corporation shall have the right, upon 30 days advance written notice, to require that all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2; provided, however, that (A) if a Conversion Condition occurs and the Corporation is entitled to require the conversion referred to in Section 7.2(a)(i) and does not so convert, then the Corporation's right to require the conversion referred to in Section 7.2(a)(ii) will be limited to a right to require that up to 952,381 shares of Class O Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 7.2(a)(ii); (B) if the Corporation receives a Liquidity Failure Notice pursuant to Section 7.2(c)(vi), then the right to cause a conversion under Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall thereupon terminate; and (C) the Corporation may not exercise its right to convert under Section 7.2(a)(ii) unless and until at least 90 days have transpired since the date of any conversion under Section 7.2(a)(i). (b) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, the Corporation shall have the right, under the circumstances set forth in (a)(i) or (ii) above, to convert such shares, in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of authorized but previously unissued shares of Class A Common Stock per each share of Class O Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated 16 accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class O Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in subparagraph (c)(v) of this Section 7.2). (c) (i) In order to exercise the conversion right, the Corporation shall, promptly upon the Corporation exercising its right to require conversion pursuant to (a)(i) or (ii) above, and in no event later than the close of business on the next succeeding business day, give notice of such conversion to each holder of record of the shares to be converted. Such notice shall be provided by facsimile or, if facsimile is not available, then by recognized overnight courier at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Any notice which was transmitted or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date received by the holder. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the date of conversion, which date may be any date at least two business days following the date on which the notice is transmitted or mailed; (2) the number of shares of Class O Preferred Stock to be converted and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be converted, the number of such shares to be converted, and (3) the then current Conversion Price. (ii) Upon receiving such notice of conversion, each such holder shall promptly surrender the certificates representing such shares of Class O Preferred Stock as are being converted on the conversion date, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that the failure to so surrender any such certificates shall not in any way affect the validity of the conversion of the underlying shares of Class O Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such shares of Class O Preferred Stock are registered, each such share surrendered following conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax, if any (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that such taxes have been paid). (iii) A holder of shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall, as of the date of the conversion of such shares to shares of Class A Common Stock, be entitled to receive a cash payment in respect of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon as of the time of such conversion, provided, however, that payment in respect of any dividend on such shares that has been declared but for which the Dividend Payment Date has not yet been reached shall be payable as of such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares. (iv) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class O Preferred Stock as aforesaid, and in any event no later than three business days after the date of such surrender, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or send on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, and any fractional interest 17 in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 7.2. (v) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such dates and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date identified as the conversion date in the notice of conversion sent by the Corporation as aforesaid. If the dividend payment record dates for the Class O Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock do not coincide, and the preceding sentence does not operate to ensure that a holder of shares of Class O Preferred Stock whose shares are converted into Class A Common Stock does not receive dividends on both the shares of Class O Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are converted for the same Dividend Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent, and the Transfer Agent is authorized to ensure, that no conversion after the earlier of such record dates will be accepted until after the latter of such record dates. (vi) In the event that the Corporation has elected to cause a conversion of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) above, and the holders of a majority of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock so converted provide a written notice (a "Liquidity Failure Notice") to the Corporation within 90 days after the date of conversion that during such 90 day period, such holders were unable (based on commercially reasonable efforts, taking into account volume) to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon conversion on the open market at price(s) that would have provided such holder(s) with an Internal Rate of Return of at least 20% per annum thereon from the Issue Date through the date of sale of all such shares of Class A Common Stock (provided that in calculating the Inflows, instead of calculating the weighted average price as provided in clause (i) of the definition of Internal Rate of Return, the Internal Rate of Return shall be calculated using the actual sale prices obtained by the holder(s)), then from and after the delivery of the Liquidity Failure Notice, the right of the Corporation to convert shares of Class O Preferred Stock under Section 7.2(ii) shall terminate. The Liquidity Failure Notice shall include a list of dates on which shares of Class A Common Stock were sold, the number and price per share so sold and shall include a calculation of the Internal Rate of Return on the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock so sold during the period. (d) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class O Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class O Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for 18 conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class O Preferred Stock so converted. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class O Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the day 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 Class O Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction of a share of Class A 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 Class O Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.3 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) in the case of a dividend or 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 Corporation shall issue, after the Issue Date, rights, options or warrants to all holders of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below in this paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.3) to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Class A Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior 19 to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (Y) the number of shares that could be purchased at such Fair Market Value from the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (YY) the number of additional shares of Class A 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 paragraph (e) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Class A Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation 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 Directors. (iii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock other than in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock (including any distribution in securities (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.3)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "distribution"), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the next day following the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date and (Y) the number of shares determined by dividing (aa) the aggregate value of the property being distributed by (bb) the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided below). The value of the property being distributed shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the property being distributed is a publicly traded security, its value shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure for calculating the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common Stock (calculated for a period of five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the twentieth Trading Day after the distribution). Neither the issuance by the Corporation of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed a distribution under this paragraph. (iv) If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation shall acquire, pursuant to an issuer or self tender offer, all or any portion of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and such tender offer involves the payment of consideration per share of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), at the last 20 time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such offer, that exceeds the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then the Conversion Price in effect on the opening of business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Time shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (including the shares acquired in the tender offer (the "Acquired Shares")) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, multiplied by (Y) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the Acquired Shares and (YY) the product of (I) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (less any Acquired Shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by (II) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. (v) 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 paragraph (a)(v) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3 (other than this paragraph (a)(v)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7.3, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under such plan or (B) any options, rights or shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or other stock-based plan maintained by the Corporation. All calculations under this Section 7.3 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (a), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event. (b) If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, issuer or self tender offer for at least 30% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock, but excluding any transaction as to which paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.3 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case, as a result of which shares of Class A 21 Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Class O Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which one share of Class O Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction (without giving effect to any Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(iv) of this Article). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (c) If: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Class A Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions); or (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Class A Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other rights or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the outstanding Class A Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange, an issuer or self tender offer shall have been commenced for at least 30% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (or an amendment thereto changing the maximum number of shares sought or the amount or type of consideration being offered therefor shall have been adopted), or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Class O Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (A) the record date for the payment of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record date is not established, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, 22 dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the date on which such tender offer commenced, the date on which such tender offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto). 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 7.3. (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation 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 each holder of shares of Class O Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.3 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class O Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 7.1 or paragraph (d) of Section 7.2, as the case may be. (f) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any capital stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.3. (g) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7.3, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class O Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Class O Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. (h) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class O Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of 23 Class O Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (h), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit set forth in the Charter of the Corporation). The Corporation covenants that any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. (i) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion or redemption of shares of Class O Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock to be converted or redeemed, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (j) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for a period of at least twenty Business Days, if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.3, conversion of Class O Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter), after taking into account any waiver of such limitation granted to any holder of the shares of Class O Preferred Stock. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class O Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts 24 distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class O Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class O Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class O Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class O Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class O Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class O Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever (i) six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class O Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, or (ii) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to Fifty-Nine and One-Half Cents ($0.595) (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend") the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii) (in each case if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class O Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to serve on the Board of Directors at any 25 annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i), all arrears in dividends on the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, then the right of the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class O Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and of the Voting Preferred Stock for the election of the two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class O 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 or director 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class O Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 26 (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class O Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar transaction) or would convert the Class O Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class O Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class O Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class O Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class O Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class O Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class O Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class O Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class O Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess 27 of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class O Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class O Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 11.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 11.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class O Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class O Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class O Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class O Preferred Stock. 28 (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class O Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class O Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class O Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class O Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class O Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(C) of this Article. 11.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through 29 Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class O Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class O Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class O Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class O Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class O Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class O Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class O Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class O Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not 30 violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 11.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class O Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class O Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class O Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class O Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 11.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class P Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class P Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class P Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class P Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class P Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be 11 entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION (a) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class P Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, for cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Price (i) at any time on or before March 26, 2004, if the Market Price of the Class A Common Stock is $56 or higher, in which case the Corporation may redeem shares of Class P Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5(a)(i) for 6 months following any date on which such Market Price exceeds $56, (ii) at any time after March 26, 2004, (iii) on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (iv) as set forth in Section 11.2 of this Article. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all preceding Dividend Periods no shares of Class P Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class P Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock. (d) In the event of a redemption of Class P Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) above, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class P Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be 12 surrendered for cash; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next succeeding sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class P Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class P Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class P Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect such redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class P Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class P Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class P Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for the cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class P Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method 13 as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class P Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class P Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class P Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class P Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS' OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class P Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing $25 by the Conversion Price in effect at such time and by surrender of the certificate representing such shares to be converted in the manner provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1. (b) In order to convert shares of Class P Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class P Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class P Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable in such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on 14 conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class P Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class P Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class P Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice and instruments of transfer as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class P Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and a check or cash in respect of (i) the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in the last paragraph of this subsection (b), and (ii) any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.1. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class P Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class P Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend 15 payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such Record Date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class P Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class P Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class P Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction thereof) into which such share of Class P Preferred Stock has been converted (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class P Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class P Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class P Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class P Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, 16 multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 Adjustments to Conversion Price (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Class P Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such share been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) of this Section 7.2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i), the holder of any share of Class P Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Class A Common Stock and other capital stock. (ii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or 17 stock ownership or purchase plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (B) the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchased pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent). (iii) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock any capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation (excluding (A) those referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.2(a), (B) dividends and distributions paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation, and (C) distributions upon mergers or consolidations to which subsection (b) of this Section 7.2 applies), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior 18 to the record date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined pursuant to subsection (iv) of this Section 7.2(a)) of the Class A Common Stock, less the fair market value on such record date (determined by the Board or Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Class A Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (iv) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2(a), the current market price per share of Class A Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock for the shorter of (A) 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Time of Determination" shall mean the time and date of the earlier of (A) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distribution referred to in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2, or (B) the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading on the exchange or market referred to in the definition of "Closing Price." (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection (v) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reduction in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.2, as it shall determine in its discretion to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable to the recipients. Except as set forth in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Class A Common Stock, or any 19 securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services. (vi) The Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of shares of Class P Preferred Stock a notice of the decrease at least 15 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or the securities or other property of another entity), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets to another entity, there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price, and lawful provision shall be made by the entity formed by such consolidation or the entity whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the merger or consolidation be owned, by virtue of the merger or consolidation, by the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or the entity which shall have acquired such assets of the Corporation, such that each share of Class P Preferred Stock then outstanding will, without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class P Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. In the case of a cash merger of the Corporation into another entity or any other cash transaction of the type mentioned in this Section 7.2(b), each share of Class P Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible at the Conversion Price in effect at such time into the same amount of cash per share into which each share of Class P Preferred Stock would have been convertible had such share been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such cash merger or other transaction. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers. (c) If (i) the Corporation shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2; (ii) the Corporation 20 shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Class A Common Stock generally of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants; (iii) there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock (other than an event to which subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case, for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be given to the holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action or granting of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.2(c). (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent a certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) the Corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Class P Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective date, the Corporation may elect to defer (but only until the filing by the Corporation with the Transfer Agent of the certificate required by subsection 7.2(d)) (i) issuing to the holder of any share of Class P Preferred Stock converted after such record date or effective date the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in excess of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such 21 conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share. (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 7.2(a), the holder of any share of Class P Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of Class P Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Class A Common Stock contained in this Section 7.2. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of Class P Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock not theretofore converted and on or before (and as a condition of) taking any action that would cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion in excess of the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Corporation shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares of Class P Preferred Stock were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit). Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Class P Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes, payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class P Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class P Preferred Stock to be converted, and no such issue or 22 delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, conversion of Class P Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter). (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class P Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, but shall have no obligation to, adjust the Conversion Price for the Class P Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class P Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class P Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class P Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class P Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class O Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class P Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts 23 distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class P Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class P Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever (i) six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class P Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, or (ii) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to $0.5950 (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend") the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii) (in each case if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class P Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i), all arrears in dividends on the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for 24 payment, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, then the right of the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one additional director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class P Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and of the Voting Preferred Stock for the election of the two directors (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (i)) or one director (in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii)) to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class P 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 or director 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class P Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by 25 vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction) or would convert the Class P Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class P Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class P Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class P Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class P Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class P Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class P Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class P Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 26 10.

From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class P Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class P Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class P Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 11.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class P Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 11.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class P Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be 28 specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class P Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 11.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class P Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 11.8(C) of this Article. 11.3. TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 of this Article, such shares of Class P Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving 29 rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class P Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 11.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class P Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class P Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class P Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class P Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class P Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class P Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 11.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee 30 did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 11.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class P Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class P Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class P Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class P Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 11.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class P Preferred Stock in violation of Section 11.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 11.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 31 11.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION.

In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT.

(d) So long as any of the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants, or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 8 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class Q Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class Q Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class Q Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to March 19, 2006, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after March 19, 2006, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class Q Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class Q Preferred Stock 9 (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class Q Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class Q Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class Q Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) 10 all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class Q Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class Q Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class Q Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class Q Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash un claimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class Q Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class Q Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class Q Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class Q Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class Q Preferred Stock. 11 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class Q Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class Q Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class Q Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class Q Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class Q Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class Q Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is 12 entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class Q Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class Q Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class Q 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class Q Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 13 (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class Q Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock; or (ii) The authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class Q Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class Q Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article.

Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on September 15, 2001. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class R Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on March 1, June 1, September 1 or December 1 (each a "Record Date"), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date. Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to 6 holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class R Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class R Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class R Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class R Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class R Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment, on the Class R Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class R Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class R Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class R Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants, or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has 7 been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class R Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class R Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class R Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class R Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class R Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class R Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, 8 subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class R Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to July 20, 2006, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after July 20, 2006, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class R Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class R Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class R Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class R Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class R Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class R Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class R Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the 9 validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class R Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class R Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class R Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class R Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class R Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class R Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class R Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class R Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class R Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class R Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class R Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such 10 certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class R Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class R Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class R Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class R Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class R Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class R Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class R Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class R Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class R Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class R Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class R Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class R Preferred Stock 11 shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class R Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the _Voting Preferred Stock_) and the holders of shares of Class R Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class R Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class R 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of 12 such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class R Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class R Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to increase the authorized amount of Class R Preferred Stock, or to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock, shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class R Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class R Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class R Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class R Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class R Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class R Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class R Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 13 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class R Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit.

(C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class R Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class R Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class R Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class R Preferred Stock. 14 (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class R Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class R Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class R Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class R Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class R Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class R Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a 15 manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class R Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(C) of this Article. 10.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a _Prohibited Transferee_), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class R Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class R Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

(D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class R Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class R Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class R Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation.

The "Non-Equity Consideration" shall equal the aggregate of (A) the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) (other than Deferred Consideration), (B) the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii), (C) the maximum amount of the portion of the Deferred Consideration payable in cash pursuant to the Tri-Party Agreement into which Casden Capital Stock was converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(a), (D) the aggregate amount payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) in lieu of fractional shares, (E) the aggregate amount payable in respect of Dissenting Shares, (F) the aggregate amount of cash paid pursuant to the Casden Reverse Stock Split, (G) the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iv), and (H) any amount described in Treasury Reg.

The "Equity Consideration" shall equal the aggregate of the product of (x) the 15 Common Per Share Value of AIMCO Common Stock and (y) the number of shares of AIMCO Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2(a). The "Common Per Share Value" shall equal the lower of (i) the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the NYSE of a share of AIMCO Common Stock on the Closing Date and (ii) the price at which the last trade was made on the Closing Date. (e) CASDEN I AND II WARRANTS. At the Effective Time, each then outstanding, unexercised Casden I Warrant and Casden II Warrant which has been amended pursuant to Section 7.28 shall, in accordance with its terms, as amended, and by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action of Casden, AIMCO or the holder of such warrant, terminate. (f) TAXABLE ELECTION. In the event that on the third NYSE trading day prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the "Test Date") the Common Per Share Value of AIMCO Common Stock is such that if the Closing were to occur on the Test Date the provisions of Section 2.2(d) would require an adjustment to the consideration otherwise payable under Section 2.2(a), then Casden shall have the right to elect, in its sole discretion (or, alternatively, AIC in his sole discretion), to restructure the Merger as a reverse subsidiary merger. In the event Casden or AIC notifies AIMCO in writing, not later than the day following the Test Date, that it or he has determined to make the election permitted by this Section 2.2(f) (a "Taxable Election"), AIMCO shall form a new, wholly-owned subsidiary corporation ("New Merger Sub") solely for the purpose of merging into Casden, and the following provisions will apply: (i) the Merger will be effected by the merger of New Merger Sub with and into Casden in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, with Casden as the surviving corporation; (ii) all references to the term "Merger" shall be deemed references to the merger contemplated by this Section 2.2(f); (iii) all references to the term "Surviving Corporation" shall be deemed references to Casden; (iv) at the Effective Time, the charter and bylaws of New Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Charter and bylaws, respectively, of the surviving corporation and the directors and officers of New Merger Sub shall be the directors and officers of the surviving corporation; (v) the provisions of Section 2.2(d) shall have no further force and effect, and in the Merger each holder of Casden Capital Stock will receive the consideration such holder would have received pursuant to Section 2.2 without application of Section 2.2(d); (vi) the covenants set forth in Section 7.19 and the condition set forth in Section 8.3(d) shall thereafter cease to apply; and (vii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.2(f), all terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that in the event the Common Per Share Value is less than $36 on the Test Date, a Taxable Election shall automatically, and without any action of any party hereto, be deemed to have been made. The parties shall cooperate to implement such reverse subsidiary merger structure in the event a Taxable Election is made (or is deemed to have been made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence). If a Taxable Election is made pursuant to this Section 2.2(f), the parties hereto covenant and agree that the transaction effected pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as a sale of the shares of Casden acquired by AIMCO hereunder for all income tax purposes and that the parties shall treat such transaction consistent therewith on all income tax returns and filings. No election provided under Section 338 of the Code shall be made with respect to this transaction without the prior written consent of all the shareholders of Casden prior to the Merger. 16 (g) CONSIDERATION ALLOCATION. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or in any Related Transaction Documents to the contrary, at any time prior to the Effective Time, Casden may modify the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration among the REIT Common Consideration, the REIT Common Deferred Consideration, the REIT Preferred Consideration, the OP Contribution Consideration, the CPLB Merger Consideration and the Casden Contribution Consideration, and may reallocate the REIT Merger Consideration among and with respect to all recipients thereof, and may in connection therewith adjust the deemed $21.66 in Section 2.2(c), by giving written notice of such revised allocation(s) to AIMCO without the consent or approval of any Casden stockholder or any other party hereto, provided however that (i) neither the Aggregate Consideration nor the aggregate amount of Deferred Consideration may be increased, (ii) Casden may not modify the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration in any way that increases the aggregate number of shares of AIMCO Common Stock and AIMCO OP Units to be issued in the Transactions without the prior written consent of AIMCO and (iii) Casden may not modify the Aggregate Consideration without appropriate approval of the board of directors and independent directors of Casden. At least three (3) business days before the Effective Time, Casden shall provide AIMCO with written notice of its determination of its allocation in respect of the Villa Azure Earnout Amount, Core Properties Earnout Amount and Mortgage Debt Amortization. Section 2.3 PAYMENT OF MERGER CONSIDERATION. (a) EXCHANGE FUND. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, AIMCO shall hold, in trust for the benefit of holders of Certificates, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the REIT Merger Consideration plus the option payout and warrant payout amounts and (ii) the cash payable in respect of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.3(d) (collectively, the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. (b) PAYMENT PROCEDURES. (i) Prior to the Effective Time, AIMCO (or any agent or agents appointed by AIMCO) shall deliver to each holder of record (identified on Schedule 4.2(c) of the Casden Disclosure Letter) of a certificate or certificates (a "Certificate" or the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the Effective Time will represent outstanding shares of Casden Capital Stock (the "Canceled Shares") that will be canceled and become instead a portion of the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2(a): (w) an investor representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T, (x) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon actual delivery of the Certificates to AIMCO), and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for that portion of the REIT Merger Consideration payable with respect to such shares. Casden hereby acknowledges that AIMCO shall rely solely on Section 4.2(c) of the Casden Disclosure Letter as to the holders of record to whom the foregoing should be delivered. (ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate to AIMCO for cancellation (or to such agent or agents as may be appointed by AIMCO), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and a duly executed certificate of non-foreign status in the form attached hereto as 17 Exhibit Q-1 or Exhibit Q-2, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive with respect to the shares of Casden Capital Stock formerly represented thereby (in addition to any Deferred Consideration to which such holder may be entitled under the Tri-Party Agreement, if applicable), (A) a certificate or certificates representing that number of whole shares of AIMCO Common Stock into which such holder's Casden Capital Stock was converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2, (B) the amount of cash which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2 and (C) cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(d). (iii) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Canceled Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of Casden, that portion of the REIT Merger Consideration into which such holder's Casden Capital Stock was converted in the Merger may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Canceled Shares is surrendered to AIMCO, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence satisfactory to AIMCO that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b) or as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(e), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a portion of the REIT Merger Consideration. (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any holder of a Certificate who presents any Certificate to AIMCO on or prior to the Closing Date, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as AIMCO shall reasonably require, AIMCO shall deliver to such holder, on the Closing Date, all of that portion of the REIT Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled with respect to such Certificate. (c) DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of AIMCO Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid into an escrow account for the benefit of the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of AIMCO Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash amount or cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate, at which time all proceeds in escrow for the benefit of such surrendering holder shall be released to such surrendering holder as though such shares of AIMCO Common Stock had been issued and outstanding at the Effective Time. Subject to the effect of unclaimed property, escheat and other applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of AIMCO Common Stock issued in consideration therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the applicable cash amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a), any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid into escrow with respect to such whole shares of AIMCO Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of AIMCO Common Stock. 18 (d) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No scrip representing fractional shares of AIMCO Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger and no dividend or other distribution, stock split or interest shall relate to any such fractional share, and such fractional share shall not entitle the owner thereof to any voting or other rights of a stockholder of AIMCO. In lieu of any fractional share of AIMCO Common Stock to which a holder of Casden Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled, upon surrender of a Certificate representing Casden Capital Stock as described in this Section, such holder shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the AIMCO Common Stock Price multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of AIMCO Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. AIMCO shall make available to AIMCO the amount of cash necessary to make such payments without regard to any other cash being provided to AIMCO. (e) BOOK ENTRY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 2.3(b) may, at the option of AIMCO, provide for the right of a holder of one or more Certificates to elect that any shares of AIMCO Common Stock into which such holder's AIMCO Common Stock was converted in the Merger be in uncertificated form. (f) CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS; ETC. From and after the Effective Time, the Casden stock transfer books shall be closed and no registration of any transfer of any capital stock of Casden shall thereafter be made on the Casden stock transfer books. If Certificates are presented to AIMCO after the Effective Time they shall be canceled and exchanged for (i) certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of AIMCO Common Stock, (ii) the applicable cash amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends and other distributions, as provided in Sections 2.3(c) and 2.3(d). Shares of AIMCO Common Stock into which Canceled Shares are converted in the Merger shall be outstanding as of the Effective Time. AIMCO shall cause all such shares of AIMCO Common Stock to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights. In the event any Certificate(s) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate(s) to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by AIMCO, upon the provision by such Person of an unsecured indemnity against any claim that may be made against AIMCO with respect to such Certificate(s), AIMCO will deliver in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate(s), a certificate representing the AIMCO Common Stock into which the shares of Casden Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate(s) were converted in the Merger and the applicable cash amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.3(d) and such Person shall be entitled to the voting, dividend and other distribution rights provided herein with respect thereto. (g) TERMINATION OF EXCHANGE FUND. All unclaimed cash in the Exchange Fund on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be retained by AIMCO, and thereafter, any holder of unsurrendered Certificates shall look only to AIMCO for payment of such funds and the delivery of certificates representing shares of AIMCO Common Stock to which such holder may be due, subject to applicable law as described in the following sentence. AIMCO shall not be liable to any Person for such shares or funds delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 19 Section 2.4 APPRAISAL RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive any portion of the REIT Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to receive cash consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Sections 3-203 through 3-213 of the MGCL; provided, however, that if a holder of Casden Common Stock or Casden Class A Preferred Stock fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses the right to appraisal and payment under the MGCL, each share of such Casden Capital Stock of such holder shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any portion of the REIT Merger Consideration, assuming that such shares were shares of Other Common Stock, and such shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. Casden shall give prompt notice to AIMCO of any written demands received by Casden for appraisal of Casden Common Stock or Casden Class A Preferred Stock and any objections to the Merger received prior to the Merger and AIMCO shall have the right to participate in all negotiations with respect to such demands or objections.

Casden shall have caused to be delivered to AIMCO (i) the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP or such other counsel reasonably acceptable to AIMCO to the effect that each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Casden, XYZ and/or the other parties thereto (other than AIMCO), as applicable, and that such agreements are enforceable against Casden, XYZ and/or the other parties thereto (other than AIMCO), as applicable, in accordance with their terms (with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and based on customary representations); (ii) the opinion of Delaware counsel reasonably acceptable to AIMCO to the effect that, with respect to matters of Delaware law, each of the Related Transaction Documents are enforceable against Casden, XYZ and/or the parties thereto (other than AIMCO), as applicable, in accordance with their terms (with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and based on customary representations); and (iii) the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to AIMCO to the effect that (A) each of Cerberus Partners, LP, BA Casden Investors LLC, Blackacre Park La Brea LLC, Blackacre Capital Management LLC ("Blackacre") and the Blackacre entity which will be a signatory to the Development LLC Agreement (collectively, the "Blackacre Parties") is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation, and (B) each of the Related Transaction Documents is duly authorized by, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of, the Blackacre Parties which are parties thereto, as applicable, and that such agreements are enforceable against the Blackacre Parties which are parties thereto, as applicable, in accordance with their terms (with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and based on customary representations). AIMCO agrees that the form of opinion attached hereto as Exhibit 8.2(d) shall be acceptable to AIMCO with respect to Casden's obligation pursuant to clause (i) hereof and that the failure of Casden to deliver any opinion required by this Section 8.2(d) shall constitute a breach of Section 7.9 by Casden unless such failure shall be due solely to a change in law (statutory or case law) or regulation occurring after the date hereof. (e) CASDEN REQUIRED STATUTORY APPROVALS. Casden shall have obtained each of the Casden Required Statutory Approvals and delivered copies thereof to AIMCO. 67 (f) CASDEN REIT OPINION.

Such opinion shall also be addressed to BA Casden Investors, LLC and may rely upon an officer's certificate of Casden and an officer's certificate of BA Casden Investors, LLC. The failure of Casden to deliver such opinion to AIMCO shall constitute a breach of Section 7.9 by Casden unless such failure shall be due solely to a change in law (statutory or case law) or regulation occurring after the date hereof. (g) LETTER OF CASDEN'S ACCOUNTANTS. AIMCO shall have received letters from Deloitte & Touche LLP, addressed to AIMCO and dated within two business days prior to the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to AIMCO with respect to the most recent Casden Financial Statements.

(a) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations and warranties of AIMCO set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct (i) on and as of the date hereof and (ii) on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though such 68 representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly speak only as of a specific date or time which need only be true and correct as of such date or time) and AIMCO and each AIMCO Subsidiary shall have performed in all material respects each of their respective obligations required to be performed prior to the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this condition to the obligation of Casden to consummate the Merger shall be deemed satisfied if the aggregate loss, cost, damage or expense to Casden, if the Transactions were consummated, as a result of breaches of such representations and warranties (without giving effect to any materiality qualification or standard contained in any such representations and warranties) when aggregated with failures to comply with covenants by AIMCO would not reasonably be expected to exceed $100 million. (b) CLOSING CERTIFICATE. Casden shall have received a certificate signed by an executive officer of AIMCO, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that, to the best of such officer's knowledge, the condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) has been satisfied. (c) OPINION OF AIMCO'S MARYLAND COUNSEL. AIMCO shall have caused to be delivered to Casden and XYZ the opinion of Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe LLP (or another nationally recognized law firm acceptable to Casden) to the effect that this Agreement and the Articles of Merger are enforceable under Maryland law, that all requisite approvals have been obtained, and at the Effective Time upon issuance thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such shares of AIMCO Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights, and as to such other matters as are customary in a transaction such as the Merger. Casden agrees that the form of opinion attached hereto as Exhibit 8.3(c) shall be acceptable to Casden and that the failure of AIMCO to deliver such opinion shall constitute a breach of Section 7.9 by AIMCO unless such failure shall be due solely to a change in law (statutory or case law) or regulation occurring after the date hereof. (d) MERGER OPINION. Unless a Taxable Election is made pursuant to Section 2.2(f), Casden shall have received an opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (or another nationally recognized law firm acceptable to Casden) that, based upon certificates and letters acceptable to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (or another nationally recognized law firm acceptable to Casden) dated as of the Closing Date, the Merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code (with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and based on customary representations). Such opinion shall also be addressed to BA Casden Investors, LLC, AIC, TCC and CIC. Casden agrees that an opinion substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 8.3(d)(i) hereto shall be acceptable to Casden and that the failure of Casden to obtain delivery of such opinion shall constitute a breach of Section 7.9 by Casden unless such failure shall be due solely to (i) a change in the law (statutory or case law) or regulation occurring after the date hereof or (ii) the failure of AIMCO to deliver to such counsel an officers' certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.3(d)(ii), in which case such failure of AIMCO shall constitute a breach by AIMCO of Section 7.9 and shall not be considered a breach by Casden of Section 7.9. (e) OPINION OF AIMCO'S COUNSEL. AIMCO shall have caused to be delivered to Casden and XYZ the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (or 69 another nationally known law firm acceptable to Casden) to the effect that each of the Transaction Documents to which AIMCO is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of AIMCO and AIMCO OP, and that such agreements are enforceable against AIMCO and AIMCO OP, in accordance with their terms (with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and based on customary representations). Casden agrees that an opinion substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 8.3(e) hereto shall be acceptable to Casden and that the failure of AIMCO to deliver such opinion shall constitute a breach of Section 7.9 by AIMCO unless such failure shall be due solely to a change in law (statutory or case law) or regulation occurring after the date hereof. (f) TRADING OF AIMCO COMMON STOCK. AIMCO Common Stock shall be listed and admitted for trading on the NYSE and there shall have occurred trading of AIMCO Common Stock on each of the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date. (g) LISTING OF SHARES. The shares of AIMCO Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger shall have been approved for listing on the NYSE upon official notice of issuance. The parties acknowledge and agree that if Casden elects to waive this condition in the event it is not satisfied, such waiver will not constitute a waiver of (or absolve AIMCO from liability for) the breach of the covenant in Section 7.31. (h) AIMCO REQUIRED STATUTORY APPROVALS. Each of the AIMCO Required Statutory Approvals shall have been obtained. ARTICLE IX TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER Section 9.1 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, whether before or after obtaining the Casden Stockholders' Approval, only: (a) by mutual written consent of the respective Boards of Directors of Casden and AIMCO; (b) (i) by either AIMCO or Casden if there has been any breach by the other party of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, or failure by the other party to comply with any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and which breach or failure individually or together with the other breaches or failures by such other party that have not been cured would result in losses, costs, damages or expenses to the terminating party, if the Transactions were consummated that would reasonably be expected to exceed $100 million, and which breach or failure has not been cured within 30 days following receipt by the breaching or failing party of notice of such breach or failure or adequate assurance of such cure shall not have been given by or on behalf of the breaching or failing party within such 30 day period or (ii) by AIMCO or Casden, if any state or federal law, order, rule or regulation is adopted or issued after the date hereof, which has the effect, as supported by the written opinion of outside counsel for such party, of prohibiting any of the Transactions, or if any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any state shall have issued an order, judgment or 70 decree permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the Transactions, and such order, judgment or decree shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such injunction or prohibition shall have used all reasonable efforts to remove such injunction or overturn such prohibition; (c) by either AIMCO or Casden, by written notice to the other party, if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the six month anniversary of the date hereof (the "Termination Date") subject to AIMCO's and Casden's right to postpone the Closing pursuant to the proviso in Section 3.1; provided, however, that in the event the parties have not obtained approval of the Transactions by HUD by the Termination Date, such date may be extended at the election of AIMCO or Casden for one-month periods (up to an additional six months) pending such approval; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before the Termination Date; or (d) by Casden if (i) all of AIMCO's conditions to closing set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been satisfied, (ii) within 10 days of receiving notice of Casden's intent to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1(d), AIMCO has failed to close and (iii) at such time AIMCO is not entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX. Section 9.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 by either Casden or AIMCO, except as expressly provided in Section 9.3(a) below, no party hereto shall have any liability to any other party with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.6, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 shall survive the termination indefinitely (unless otherwise specifically provided therein). Section 9.3 TERMINATION FEES. (a) CASDEN LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

The payment of the Liquidated Damages shall be compensation and liquidated damages for the loss suffered by Casden as the result of the failure to consummate the Merger and the Related Transactions and to avoid the difficulty of determining damages under the circumstances, and AIMCO and AIMCO OP shall not have any liability to Casden, other than the payment of the Liquidated Damages if the Merger is not consummated. 71 (b) NO PENALTY. The parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Section 9.6 DAMAGES. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the parties agree that if the Merger is consummated, the sole remedy of any such party for any other party's breach of representations or warranties or failure to comply with covenants, and any failure to satisfy any condition, shall be the right to collect damages for any breach of representations or warranties or failure to comply with covenants or to satisfy any condition, to the extent provided in the Master Indemnification Agreement (or, with respect to Tax matters, the Tax Indemnity Agreement). The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall survive the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Master Indemnification Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements; provided, however, that if either party has knowledge prior to the Closing Date of any breach of any covenant or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement prior to the Closing Date and such party did not comply with its Pre-Closing Notice (as defined in the Master Indemnification Agreement) obligation pursuant to the Master Indemnification Agreement, such party shall not be entitled to indemnification under the Master Indemnification Agreement for such breach or inaccuracy, except as pursuant to the Tax Indemnity Agreement.

If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for such Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for such Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Corporation's Dividend Rate Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Reset Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a period of three months commencing on such Reset Date and in a representative amount.

(a) The holders of Class S Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose, quarterly cash dividends on the Class S Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, shall accumulate whether or not such dividends shall be authorized, whether or not there shall be assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, - 10 - including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization or payment or provides that such authorization or payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, and whether or not such authorization or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on July 31, 2003, to the holders of record of the Class S Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation on the relevant Record Date. Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class S Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class S Preferred Stock on each Dividend Payment Date shall be equal to the sum of the daily amounts for each day actually elapsed during such Dividend Period, which daily amounts shall be computed by dividing (1) the product of (A) the Dividend Rate in effect for each such day during such Dividend Period multiplied by (B) the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Class S Preferred Stock by (2) 360. Any dividend payment made on shares of the Class S Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares. The Corporation shall determine the dividend payable on each Dividend Payment Date in accordance with this Article, utilizing the Three-Month LIBOR rate supplied by the Dividend Rate Calculation Agent (which the Dividend Rate Calculation Agent shall determine in accordance with the definition of Three-Month LIBOR in this Article). Holders of Class S Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class S Preferred Stock. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment, on the Class S Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class S Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class S Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Parity Stock does not have a cumulative dividend). (d) So long as any of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to - 11 - subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants, or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if (but only to the extent that) such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class S Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share of Class S Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class S Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series - 12 - of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class S Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class S Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class S Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION. (a) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class S Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part (provided that the Corporation may not call for redemption a number of shares (i) which have an aggregate Liquidation Preference of less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) or (ii) the redemption of which would result in less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) in liquidation amount of Class S Preferred remaining outstanding, at any one time, at a redemption price per share redeemed payable in cash equal to (x) the Liquidation Preference per share of Class S Preferred Stock being redeemed multiplied by the following amount: (i) if the Redemption Date is on or before July 31, 2003, 97.75%; (ii) if the Redemption Date is after July 31, 2003 and on or before October 31, 2003, 98.00%; (iii) if the Redemption Date is after October 31, 2003 and on or before January 31, 2004, 98.50%; (iv) if the Redemption Date is after January 31, 2004 and on or before April 30, 2004, 99.00%; and (v) if the Redemption Date is after April 30, 2004, 100%, plus in each case, (y) an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the Redemption Date (whether or not earned or authorized). The date on which shares called for redemption pursuant to this paragraph (a) of this Section 5 (the "Redemption Date") shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. If a Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on - 13 - or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. (b) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class S Preferred Stock may be redeemed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5 unless all outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class S Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class S Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class S Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class S Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. (c) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class S Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation (except that if the sole record holder of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock is Wachovia Bank, National Association, or one of its affiliates, such notice may be given by telecopy to Wachovia Securities Debt Capital Markets at (704) 283-6205 (to the attention of Rex Rudy, or to such other person as may be designated from time to time)). Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class S Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant Record Date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (provided the Corporation has available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption as set forth below), (i) dividends on the shares of Class S Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class S Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class S Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of - 14 - their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class S Preferred Stock occurs after any Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class S Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class S Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class S Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. (d) (i) Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Change (including a Change in Control to which the Company is a party), each holder of Class S Preferred Stock shall have the right, at the holder's option, to require the Corporation to repurchase all of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock held by such holder as of the Repurchase Date at a price per share equal to $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the Repurchase Date (whether or not earned or authorized) (the "Repurchase Price"). Within thirty (30) days of the consummation of a Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall mail to all holders of record of the Class S Preferred Stock a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation (except that if the sole record holder of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock is Wachovia Bank, National Association, or an affiliate thereof such notice may be given by telecopy to Wachovia Securities Debt Capital Markets at (704) 283-6205 (to the attention of Rex Rudy, or to such other person as may be designated from time to time)), which notice shall: (w) describe the Fundamental Change and the repurchase right arising as a result thereof; (x) state the Repurchase Price; (y) state the Repurchase Date; and (z) state the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered. (ii) In addition to the obligations set forth in (i) above, the Corporation shall not complete any Fundamental Change to which it is a party unless it or, in the case of a Change in Control, the party with whom it has entered into an agreement to effect such Change in Control and any entity which controls such party has agreed to satisfy the Corporation's obligations under this paragraph (d) of this Section 5. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Change (other than a Change in Control in which the Corporation is not a party), the Corporation shall mail to all holders of record of the Class S Preferred Stock a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation (except - 15 - that if the sole record holder of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock is Wachovia Bank, National Association, or an affiliate thereof such notice may be given by telecopy to Wachovia Securities Debt Capital Markets at (704) 283-6205 (to the attention of Rex Rudy, or to such other person as may be designated from time to time), which notice shall: (i) describe the pending Fundamental Change and the repurchase right arising as a result thereof; (ii) state the Repurchase Price; (iii) state the Repurchase Date; and (iv) state the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered. (e) On April 30, 2043 (the "Maturity Date"), the Corporation shall repurchase all of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock on that date at a price per share equal to $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the Maturity Date (whether or not earned or authorized) (the "Maturity Price"). Not earlier than February 1, 2043 nor later than April 15, 2043, the Corporation shall mail to all holders of record of the Class S Preferred Stock a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation (except that if the sole record holder of the shares of Class S Preferred Stock is Wachovia Bank, National Association, or an affiliate thereof, such notice may be given by telecopy to Wachovia Securities Debt Capital Markets at (704) 283-6205 (to the attention of Rex Rudy, or to such other person as may be designated from time to time)), which notice shall state the Maturity Price and the place or places where certificates for shares must be surrendered. (f) Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from any Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class S Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. (g) As promptly as practicable and in no event later than five (5) business days after the surrender of the certificates for any shares of Class S Preferred Stock to be redeemed or repurchased (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) and in the event of a repurchase pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 5, the Corporation (or any successor to the Corporation) shall deliver funds in an amount sufficient to satisfy its obligations under paragraph (d) to an escrow agent no later than five (5) days prior to the Repurchase Date. If fewer than all the shares of Class S Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed or repurchased, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class S Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class S Preferred Stock , but may not be reissued by the Corporation as Class S Preferred Stock so long as any shares of Class S Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding. - 16 - 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class S Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class S Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class S Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class S Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock, or Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class S Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class S Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class S Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class S Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class S Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock - 17 - then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly Dividend Period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of 20% or more of the Class S Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 20% or more of the Class S 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class S Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. The directors elected pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class S Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class S Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class S Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class T Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class T Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class T Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class T Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class T Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class T Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 8 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class T Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to July 31, 2008, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after July 31, 2008, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class T Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class T Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date, notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class T Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class T Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class T Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class T Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class T Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class T Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class T Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class T Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for 9 such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class T Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class T Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class T Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class T Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class T Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class T Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class T Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class T Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class T Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class T Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class T Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class T Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class T Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class T Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 10 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class T Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class T Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class T Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class T Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class T Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class T Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock , Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class T Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class T Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class T Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class T Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting 11 the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class T Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single Class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class T Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class T 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class T Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above.

For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class T Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class T Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class T Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class T Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9.

Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. 15 (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE.

(D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class T Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class T Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class T Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class T Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. 16 (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class T Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred.

Holders of Class U Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class U Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class U Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class U Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment, on the Class U Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class U Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class U Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class U Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants, or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless, in each case, dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, 7 set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class U Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) per share of Class U Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class U Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class U Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class U Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class U Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 8 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class U Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to March 24, 2009, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after March 24, 2009 the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class U Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class U Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date, notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class U Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class U Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class U Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class U Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class U Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class U Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for 9 such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class U Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class U Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class U Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class U Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class U Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class U Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class U Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class U Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class U Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class U Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class U Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class U Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class U Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 10 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class U Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class U Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class U Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class U Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class U Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class U Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock , Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock or Class T Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class U Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class U Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class U Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class U Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not 11 been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class U Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single Class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class U Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class U 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class U Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 12 (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to increase the authorized amount of Class U Preferred Stock, or to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock, shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class U Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such vote of the holders of Class U Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class U Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class U Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class U Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class U Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class U Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class U Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE 13 or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class U Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class U Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class U Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class U Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of such shares of Class U Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class U Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of shares of Class U Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class U Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class U Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity 14 of the Transfer of any other share of Class U Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class U Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class U Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void AB INITIO or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class U Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(C) of this Article. 10.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "EXCESS TRANSFER") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "PROHIBITED TRANSFEREE"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class U Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be 15 deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class U Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class U Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class U Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class U Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void AB INITIO with respect to such shares of Class U Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class U Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void AB INITIO and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class U Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited 16 Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class U Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class U Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class U Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class V Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class V Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class V Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the 6 Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

On and after September 29, 2009 the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class V Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. In the event of a redemption of shares of Class V Preferred Stock, if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date the holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date, notwithstanding the redemption of such shares, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(a), the redemption price of the Class V Preferred Stock (other than any portion thereof consisting of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) shall be payable solely with the proceeds from the sale by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership of other capital shares of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership (whether or not such sale occurs concurrently with such redemption). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital shares" means any common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, partnership or other interests, participations or other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into or exchangeable at the option of the holder for equity securities (unless and to the extent such debt securities are subsequently converted into capital shares)) or options to purchase any of the foregoing of or in the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class V Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class V Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class V Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class V Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class V Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class V Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class V Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if 7 fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class V Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class V Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class V Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class V Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class V Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class V Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class V Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class V Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class V Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class V Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class V Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class V Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class V Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class V Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 8 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class V Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class V Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class V Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class V Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class V Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class V Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Class T Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class V Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class V Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class V Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class V Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class V Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single Class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or 9 special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class V Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class V 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class V Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to increase the authorized amount of Class V Preferred Stock, or to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock, shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class V Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); 10 provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class V Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class V Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class V Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class V Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class V Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class V Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class V Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class V Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class V Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class V Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class V Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if 11 effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class V Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class V Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class V Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class V Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class V Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class V Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class V Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class V Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class V Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(C) of this Article. 10.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") 12 (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class V Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class V Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class V Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class V Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class V Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class V Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class V Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class V Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. 13 (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class V Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class V Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class V Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class V Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 10.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class V Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 10.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 10.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. From and after the Issue Date certain record and Beneficial Owners and transferees of shares of Class V Preferred Stock will be required to provide certain information as set out below. (A) ANNUAL DISCLOSURE. Every record holder or Beneficial Owner of more than 5% (or such other percentage between 0.5% and 5%, as provided in the applicable regulations adopted under the Code) of the number of Outstanding shares of Class V Preferred Stock shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such record holder or Beneficial Owner, the number of 14 shares of Class V Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned, and a full description of how such shares are held. Each such record holder or Beneficial Owner of Class V Preferred Stock shall, upon demand by the Corporation, disclose to the Corporation in writing such additional information with respect to the Beneficial Ownership of the Class V Preferred Stock as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate or necessary to (i) comply with the provisions of the Code regarding the qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code and (ii) ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as applicable. Each stockholder of record, including without limitation any Person that holds shares of Class V Preferred Stock on behalf of a Beneficial Owner, shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the written notice described in this Section 10.5 from the Beneficial Owner. (B) DISCLOSURE AT THE REQUEST OF THE CORPORATION. Any Person that is a Beneficial Owner of shares of Class V Preferred Stock and any Person (including the stockholder of record) that is holding shares of Class V Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Owner, and any proposed transferee of shares, shall provide such information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the Corporation's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or other governmental agency, to determine any such compliance or to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit, and shall provide a statement or affidavit to the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Class V Preferred Stock already Beneficially Owned by such stockholder or proposed transferee and any related persons specified, which statement or affidavit shall be in the form prescribed by the Corporation for that purpose. 10.6 REMEDIES NOT LIMITED. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable (subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article) (i) to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders in the preservation of the Corporation's status as a REIT and (ii) to insure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit. 10.7 AMBIGUITY. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of Section 10 of this Article, or in the case of an ambiguity in any definition contained in Section 10 of this Article, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. 10.8 EXCEPTIONS. The following exceptions shall apply or may be established with respect to the limitations of Section 10.1 of this Article. (A) WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of tax counsel or other evidence or undertaking acceptable to it, may waive the application, in whole or in part, of the Ownership Limit to a Person subject to the Ownership Limit, if such person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a) of the Code (as modified to exclude qualified trusts from treatment as individuals pursuant to Section 856(h)(3) of the Code) and is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, estate or trust. In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT. (B) PLEDGE BY INITIAL HOLDER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the pledge by the Initial Holder of all or any portion of the Class V Preferred Stock directly owned at any time or from time to time shall not constitute a violation of Section 10.1 of this 15 Article and the pledgee shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class V Preferred Stock so pledged to it either as a result of the pledge or upon foreclosure. (C) UNDERWRITERS. For a period of 270 days (or such longer period of time as any underwriter described below shall hold an unsold allotment of Class V Preferred Stock) following the purchase of Class V Preferred Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity and (ii) participates in an offering of the Class V Preferred Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class V Preferred Stock purchased by it as a part of or in connection with such offering and with respect to any Class V Preferred Stock purchased in connection with market making activities. 10.9 LEGEND.

No person may Beneficially Own shares of Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Restrictions, as applicable, with certain further restrictions and exceptions set forth in the Charter (including the Articles Supplementary setting forth the terms of the Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock).

If the restrictions on transfer are violated, (i) the transfer of the shares of Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will be void in accordance with the Charter (including the Articles Supplementary setting forth the terms of the Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock) or (ii) the shares of Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will automatically be transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries." 10.10 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Article or any application of any such provision is determined in a final and unappealable judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any Federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. 10.11 BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISCRETION. Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to take or omit to take such actions as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that the Corporation maintain its status as and continue to qualify as a REIT, including, but not limited to, reducing the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit in the event of a change in law. 10.12 SETTLEMENT.

The dividends payable with respect to the Initial Dividend Period shall be determined solely by reference to the Base Rate. The amount referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) with respect to each succeeding Dividend Period shall be determined as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, or portion thereof calculated to the fourth decimal point, into which a share of Class W Preferred Stock would be convertible at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date (based on the Conversion Price then in effect) by the aggregate cash dividends payable or paid for such Dividend Period in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the payment of dividends on the Class A Common Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. If (A) the Corporation pays a cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock after the Dividend Payment Date for the corresponding Dividend Period and (B) the dividend on the Class W Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), taking into account the Class A Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A), exceeds the dividend previously declared on the Class W Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend to the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock on the date that the Class A Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A) is paid, in an amount equal to the difference between the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (B) and the dividends previously declared on the Class W Preferred Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class W Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on a record date fixed by the Board of Directors which shall be not more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date and, within such 60 day period, shall be the same date as the record date for the regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the Class A Common Stock for the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates (or, if there is no such record date for Class A Common Stock, then such date as the Board of Directors may fix). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class W Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class W Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class W Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class W Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have 6 been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment on the Class W Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class W Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class W Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case (i) dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividend on all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been paid or set apart for the payment of the full dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Class W Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if in the opinion of nationally recognized REIT tax counsel such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Fifty Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($52.50) per share of Class W Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and 7 unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class W Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class W Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class W Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class W Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, except as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article. On and after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class W Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class W Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class W Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class W Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by recognized overnight courier at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the day after the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class W Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; (iv) the then-current Conversion Price; (v) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date; and (vi) a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close 8 of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class W Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class W Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class W Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class W Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class W Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares and shall not be payable as part of the Redemption Price for such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class W Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class W Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class W Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class W Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class W Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class W Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class W Preferred Stock. 9 7.

At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class W Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) per share of Class W Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1) and by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; provided, however, that the right to convert shares of Class W Preferred Stock called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date fixed for such redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5 of this Article. (b) To convert shares of Class W Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class W Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class W Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class W Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class W Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class W Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice, instruments of transfer and funds, if any, as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class W Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7.1, and a check or cash in respect of the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in subsection (c), below. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which 10 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class W Preferred Stock at the close of business on a record date for the payment of dividends on the Class W Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such record date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class W Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class W Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class W Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any dividend record date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction thereof) into which such share of Class W Preferred Stock has been converted, (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class W Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class W Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class W Preferred Stock so converted. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class W Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding 11 Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the day 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 Class W Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction of a share of Class A 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 Class W Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.2 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) in the case of a dividend or 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 Corporation shall issue, after the Issue Date, rights, options or warrants to all holders of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below in this paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.2) to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Class A Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (Y) the number of shares that could be purchased at such Fair Market Value from the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (YY) the number of additional shares of Class A 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 paragraph (e) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Class A Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation 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 Directors. 12 (iii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock other than in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock (including any distribution in securities (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.2)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "distribution"), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the next day following the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date and (Y) the number of shares determined by dividing (aa) the aggregate value of the property being distributed by (bb) the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided below). The value of the property being distributed shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the property being distributed is a publicly traded security, its value shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure for calculating the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common Stock (calculated for a period of five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the twentieth Trading Day after the distribution). Neither the issuance by the Corporation of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed a distribution under this paragraph. (iv) If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation shall acquire, pursuant to an issuer or self tender offer, all or any portion of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and such tender offer involves the payment of consideration per share of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such offer, that exceeds the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then the Conversion Price in effect on the opening of business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Time shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (including the shares acquired in the tender offer (the "Acquired Shares")) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, multiplied by (Y) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the Acquired Shares and (YY) the product of (I) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (less any Acquired Shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by (II) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. (v) 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 paragraph (a)(v) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 (other than this paragraph (a)(v)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7.2, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of optional amounts in shares of 13 Class A Common Stock under such plan or (B) any options, rights or shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or other stock-based plan maintained by the Corporation. All calculations under this Section 7.2 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (a), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event. (b) If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, issuer or self tender offer for at least 30% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock, but excluding any transaction as to which paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.2 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Class W Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which one share of Class W Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction (without giving effect to any Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) of this Article). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (c) If: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Class A Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions); or (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Class A Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other rights or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the outstanding Class A Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange, an issuer or self tender offer shall have been commenced for at least 30% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (or an amendment thereto changing the maximum number of shares sought or the amount or type of consideration being offered therefor shall have been adopted), or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause 14 to be mailed to each holder of shares of Class W Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (A) the record date for the payment of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record date is not established, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the date on which such tender offer commenced, the date on which such tender offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto). 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 7.2. (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation 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 each holder of shares of Class W Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation. (e) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class W Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 7.1. (f) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any capital stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.2. (g) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7.2, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class W Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Class W Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. (h) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class W Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (h), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such 15 outstanding shares were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit set forth in the Charter of the Corporation). The Corporation covenants that any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. (i) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion or redemption of shares of Class W Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock to be converted or redeemed, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (j) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for a period of at least twenty Business Days, if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2, conversion of Class W Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter), after taking into account any waiver of such limitation granted to any holder of the shares of Class W Preferred Stock. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class W Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class W Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class W Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class W Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Class T Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class W Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in 16 proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class W Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class W Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever either (i) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to Forty-five Cents ($0.45) (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend"), or (ii) the Corporation fails to pay a quarterly dividend payable on the Class W Preferred Stock, whether or not earned or declared, then the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by one additional director and the holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional director to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of clause (i), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), all arrears in dividends on the Class W Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock to elect such additional director shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future events), and the term of office of the person elected as a director by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class W Preferred Stock, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class W Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock for the election of the director to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class W 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 director 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. If any vacancy shall occur in the director elected by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class W Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, then the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be 17 increased by two directors (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class W Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class W Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class W 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (c) So long as any shares of Class W Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar transaction) or would convert the Class W Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class W Preferred Stock; or 18 (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class W Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class W Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class W Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class W Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class W Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference.

The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class W Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(e) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class W Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class W Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (f) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class W Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred.

(a) The holders of Class X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, quarterly cash dividends payable in cash in an amount per share of Class X Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rate, or (ii) the cash dividends declared on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, or portion thereof, into which a share of Class X Preferred Stock is convertible. The dividends payable with respect to the Initial Dividend Period shall be determined solely by reference to the Base Rate. The amount referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) with respect to each succeeding Dividend Period shall be determined as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, or portion thereof calculated to the fourth decimal point, into which a share of Class X Preferred Stock would be convertible at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date (based on the Conversion Price then in effect) by the aggregate cash dividends payable or paid for such Dividend Period in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the payment of dividends on the Class A Common Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. If (A) the Corporation pays a cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock after the Dividend Payment Date for the corresponding Dividend Period and (B) the dividend on the Class X Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), taking into account the Class A Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A), exceeds the dividend previously declared on the Class X Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend to the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock on the date that the Class A Common Stock dividend referenced in clause (A) is paid, in an amount equal to the difference between the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (B) and the dividends previously declared on the Class X Preferred Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods such dividends shall be declared or there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on January 1, 2005. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Class X Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the tenth Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date. Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, which date shall not precede by more than 45 days the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Class X Preferred Stock for any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of Class X Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Class X Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Class X Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock are outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless dividends equal to the full amount of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for such payment on the Class X Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made, as the case may be, with respect to such class or series of Parity Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class X Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any 6 other class or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class X Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) directly or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of shares of Junior Stock in respect thereof, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation unless in each case (i) dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividend on all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock have been declared and paid, or such dividends have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for such payment, on all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date such dividend or distribution is declared, paid, set apart for payment or made with respect to such shares of Junior Stock, or the date such shares of Junior Stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or monies paid to or made available for any sinking fund for such redemption, or the date any such cash or other property is paid or distributed to or for the benefit of any holders of Junior Stock in respect thereof, as the case may be and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been paid or set apart for the payment of the full dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Class X Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or distribution on any shares of Parity Stock or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Parity Stock, in each case, if in the opinion of nationally recognized REIT tax counsel such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to maintain the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under Section 856 of the Code. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation (whether of capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty Five Dollars ($25.00) per share of Class X Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class X Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class X Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the 7 respective amounts that would be payable on such Class X Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class X Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION. (a) Shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to March 31, 2006, except (i) as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Article, or (ii) during the 60 day period immediately following a Coverage Event. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Class X Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a price payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price applicable thereto, (i) prior to March 31, 2006, only during the 60 day period immediately following a Coverage Event, and (ii) at any time on or after March 31, 2006. (b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class X Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class X Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class X Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by recognized overnight courier at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the day after the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class X Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for cash; (iv) the then-current Conversion Price; (v) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date; and (vi) a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class X Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class X Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class X Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon 8 surrender of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class X Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class X Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares and shall not be payable as part of the Redemption Price for such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption, plus, if such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class X Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class X Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in accordance with such notice. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class X Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class X Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class X Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (including, without limitation, shares of Class X Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion) shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class X Preferred Stock. 7. CONVERSION. 7.1 CONVERSION AT HOLDERS OPTION. At any time on or after the Issue Date, holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Class A Common Stock, as follows: (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, each share of Class X Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible at any time (unless such share is called for redemption, then to and including but not after the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), in whole or in part, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of 9 Class A Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference per share of Class X Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on the date provided for in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1) and by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; provided, however, that the right to convert shares of Class X Preferred Stock called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date fixed for such redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5 of this Article. (b) To convert shares of Class X Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such shares at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the last paragraph of this subsection (b) to be paid by such holder, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on such certificate representing shares of Class X Preferred Stock (or such other notice as is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to the Corporation at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert the shares of Class X Preferred Stock specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class X Preferred Stock is registered, each certificate representing a share of Class X Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, 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 Corporation that such taxes have been paid). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days after the surrender of certificates representing such shares of Class X Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice, instruments of transfer and funds, if any, as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or as designated in such holder's written instructions, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Class X Preferred Stock in accordance with provisions of this Section 7.1, and a check or cash in respect of the cash amount payable to such holder, if any, referred to in subsection (c), below. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which certificates representing such shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and any applicable instruments of transfer and any required taxes) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation 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 stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation. Except as provided herein, the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends (other than dividends on the Class A Common Stock the record date for which is after the conversion date and which the Corporation shall pay in the ordinary course to the record holder as of the record date) on the Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Holders of Class X Preferred Stock at the close of business on a record date for the payment of dividends on the Class X Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend 10 Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following such record date. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Class X Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is positive, the holders of such shares shall, as of the date of conversion, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to such Dividend Adjustment Amount. If the Dividend Adjustment Amount with respect to any shares of Class X Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is negative, such shares must be accompanied by payment of a cash amount equal to the absolute value of such Dividend Adjustment Amount. As used herein, "Dividend Adjustment Amount" shall mean, with respect to any share of Class X Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion, the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) that are accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such share as of the time of such conversion; minus (ii) if such share has been surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any dividend record date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the amount of the dividend payable thereon on such Dividend Payment Date; minus (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction thereof) into which such share of Class X Preferred Stock has been converted, (B) the quarterly cash dividend per share that was most recently declared on the Class A Common Stock, determined as of the date of conversion, and (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from and including the date of the most recent dividend payment date for the Class A Common Stock to but excluding the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which is 90. (c) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Class X Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Class X Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class X Preferred Stock so converted. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any share of Class X Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion, multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon conversion of such share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE. (a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (i) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (including a reclassification pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and in which the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, or securities or other property of another entity), then, in each such case the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or at the opening of business on the day 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 Class X Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of 11 shares of Class A Common Stock (or fraction of a share of Class A 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 Class X Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.2 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the record date (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) in the case of a dividend or 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 Corporation shall issue, after the Issue Date, rights, options or warrants to all holders of Class A Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date described below in this paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.2) to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Class A Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (Y) the number of shares that could be purchased at such Fair Market Value from the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (YY) the number of additional shares of Class A 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 paragraph (e) below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Class A Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation 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 Directors. (iii) If the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, make a distribution on its Class A Common Stock other than in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock (including any distribution in securities (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.2)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "distribution"), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the next day following the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date and (Y) the number of shares determined by dividing (aa) the aggregate value of the property being distributed by (bb) the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided below). The value of the property being distributed shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the property being distributed is a publicly traded security, its value shall be calculated in accordance 12 with the procedure for calculating the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common Stock (calculated for a period of five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the twentieth Trading Day after the distribution). Neither the issuance by the Corporation of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed a distribution under this paragraph. (iv) If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation shall acquire, pursuant to an issuer or self tender offer, all or any portion of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and such tender offer involves the payment of consideration per share of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such offer, that exceeds the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then the Conversion Price in effect on the opening of business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Time shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (including the shares acquired in the tender offer (the "Acquired Shares")) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, multiplied by (Y) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (XX) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the Acquired Shares and (YY) the product of (I) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (less any Acquired Shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by (II) the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. (v) 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 paragraph (a)(v) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 (other than this paragraph (a)(v)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7.2, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under such plan or (B) any options, rights or shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or other stock-based plan maintained by the Corporation. All calculations under this Section 7.2 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (a), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event. (vi) If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, issuer or self tender offer for at least 30% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock, but excluding any transaction as to which 13 paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 7.2 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each share of Class X Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which one share of Class X Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction (without giving effect to any Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) of this Article). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. (b) If: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Class A Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions); or (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Class A Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other rights or warrants; or (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the outstanding Class A Common Stock or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange, an issuer or self tender offer shall have been commenced for at least 30% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (or an amendment thereto changing the maximum number of shares sought or the amount or type of consideration being offered therefor shall have been adopted), or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or (iv) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to each holder of shares of Class X Preferred Stock at such holder's address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, a notice stating (A) the record date for the payment of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record date is not established, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the date on which such tender offer commenced, the date on which such tender offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto). 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 7.2. 14 (c) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation 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 each holder of shares of Class X Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation. (d) In any case in which paragraph (a) of this Section 7.2 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class X Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 7.1. (e) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any capital stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.2. (f) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Class A Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7.2, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of Class X Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Class X Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances. (g) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class X Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (h), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder (and without regard to the Ownership Limit set forth in the Charter of the Corporation). The Corporation covenants that any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. (h) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion or redemption of shares of Class X Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation 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 Class A Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock to be 15 converted or redeemed, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. (i) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for a period of at least twenty Business Days, if the decrease is irrevocable during the period. (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2, conversion of Class X Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be permitted only to the extent that such conversion would not result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions (as defined in the Charter), after taking into account any waiver of such limitation granted to any holder of the shares of Class X Preferred Stock. 8. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class X Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class X Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class X Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class X Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Class T Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock or Class W Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class X Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever either (i) for two consecutive quarterly dividend periods the Corporation fails to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share at least equal to Forty-five Cents ($0.45) (subject to adjustment consistent with any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant 16 to Section 7.3 of this Article) (the "Base Common Stock Dividend"), or (ii) the Corporation fails to pay a quarterly dividend payable on the Class X Preferred Stock, whether or not earned or declared, then the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by one additional director and the holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional director to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever (1) in the case of clause (i), the Corporation makes a quarterly dividend payment on the Class A Common Stock in an amount per share equal to or exceeding the Base Common Stock Dividend, or (2) in the case of an arrearage in dividends described in clause (ii), all arrears in dividends on the Class X Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock to elect such additional director shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future events), and the term of office of the person elected as a director by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class X Preferred Stock, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class X Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock for the election of the director to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class X 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 director 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. If any vacancy shall occur in the director elected by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class X Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, then the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two directors (if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock")) and the holders of shares of Class X Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be 17 reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class X Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class X 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (c) So long as any shares of Class X Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock (including any amendment, alteration or repeal effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar transaction) or would convert the Class X Preferred Stock into cash or any other security other than a preferred stock with terms and provisions equivalent to those set forth in these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class X Preferred Stock; or (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class X Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class X Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class X Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class X Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class X Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class X Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special 18 voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class X Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (a) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (b) Transfers in Excess of Ownership Limit. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class X Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class X Preferred Stock. (c) Transfers in Excess of Initial Holder Limit. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class X Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class X Preferred Stock. (d) Transfers in Excess of Look-Through Ownership Limit. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class X Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class X Preferred Stock. (e) Transfers Resulting in "Closely Held" Status. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class X Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as 19 the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class X Preferred Stock. (f) Severability on Void Transactions. A Transfer of a share of Class X Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(b), (c), (d), or (e) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class X Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class X Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class X Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class X Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(c) of this Article. 10.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (a) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class X Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day 20 prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (b) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (c) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class X Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(e), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class X Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (d) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class X Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class X Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class X Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class X Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class X Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (e) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(e). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary.

LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Class Y Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation. (b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, as provided in Section 4(a), 6 any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 5.

(b) The Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Corporation. (c) If full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, no shares of Class Y Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. Neither the Corporation nor any affiliate of the Corporation may purchase or acquire shares of Class Y Preferred Stock, other than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. (d) If the Corporation shall redeem shares of Class Y Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all such shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; and (iv) the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date as described in the next sentence. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate or accrue on the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock called for redemption, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Class Y Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for any shares of Class Y Preferred Stock occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the full dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record of such shares at the close of business on the corresponding dividend record date notwithstanding the prior redemption of such shares. The Corporation's obligation to make available the cash necessary to effect the redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit in trust with a bank or trust company (which may not be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such amount of cash as is necessary for such redemption plus, if 7 such Redemption Date occurs after any dividend record date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, such amount of cash as is necessary to pay the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock so called for redemption and, if applicable, the payment of such dividend. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon). If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or, with respect to the number of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock held of record by each holder of such shares, pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof. 6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED STOCK. All shares of Class Y Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. 7. RANKING. Any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior or senior to the Class Y Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock ("Senior Stock"); (b) on a parity with the Class Y Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class Y Preferred Stock, if (i) such capital stock is Class B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class C Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class G Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class H Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class I Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class K Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class L Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class M Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Class T Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class W Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock or Class X Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) the holders of such class of stock or series and the Class Y Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Stock"); and (c) junior to the Class Y Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such capital stock or series shall be Class A Common Stock or (ii) the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders 8 of shares of such class or series (the capital stock referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Stock"). 8. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Class Y Preferred Stock or any series or class of Parity Stock shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full), whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two if not already increased by reason of similar types of provisions with respect to shares of any other class or series of Parity Stock which is entitled to similar voting rights (the "Voting Preferred Stock") and the holders of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of all other Voting Preferred Stock then entitled to exercise similar voting rights, voting as a single Class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, then the right of the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar future arrearages), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Class Y Preferred Stock (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and of the Voting 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 that provided in the Bylaws 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 Class Y 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. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as provided above. (b) So long as any shares of Class Y Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock voting as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of Parity Stock entitled to vote on such matters, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or the addition of any provision to, these Articles Supplementary, the Charter or the By-Laws of the Corporation that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Class Y Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to increase the authorized amount of Class Y Preferred Stock, or to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, or issue any Junior Stock or any shares of any class of Parity Stock, shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock; or 9 (ii) the authorization, creation of, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Stock (whether or not such class or series of Senior Stock is currently authorized); provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Class Y Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such Senior Stock or convertible or exchangeable security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for the redemption of all shares of Class Y Preferred Stock at the time outstanding to the extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of this Article. For purposes of the foregoing provisions and all other voting rights under these Articles Supplementary, each share of Class Y Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right to vote with the Class Y Preferred Stock as a single class on any matter, then the Class Y Preferred Stock and such other class or series shall have with respect to such matters one quarter of one vote per $25 of stated liquidation preference. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein or in the Charter, the Class Y Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. 9. RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Class Y Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERS. (A) LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date, no Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) shall Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder shall not Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit and no Look-Through Entity shall Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit. (B) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) Beneficially Owning shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. (C) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF INITIAL HOLDER LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8, from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Initial Holder Beneficially Owning shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by the Initial Holder in excess of the Initial Holder limit, and the Initial Holder shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. (D) TRANSFERS IN EXCESS OF LOOK-THROUGH OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Except as provided in Section 10.8 from and after the Issue Date (and subject to Section 10.12), any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in any Look-Through Entity Beneficially Owning shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership limit shall be void ab initio as 10 to the Transfer of such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock that would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Look-Through Entity in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit and such Look-Through Entity shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. (E) TRANSFERS RESULTING IN "CLOSELY HELD" STATUS. From and after the Issue Date, any Transfer that, if effective would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or would otherwise result in the Corporation failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, a Transfer or other event that would result in the Corporation owning (directly or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock that would cause the Corporation (i) to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (ii) otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT, as the case may be, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. (F) SEVERABILITY ON VOID TRANSACTIONS. A Transfer of a share of Class Y Preferred Stock that is null and void under Sections 10.1(B), (C), (D), or (E) of this Article because it would, if effective, result in (i) the ownership of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, the Ownership Limit, or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, (ii) the Corporation being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or (iii) the Corporation otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, shall not adversely affect the validity of the Transfer of any other share of Class Y Preferred Stock in the same or any other related transaction. 10.2 REMEDIES FOR BREACH. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall be empowered to take any action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or other event on the books of the Corporation, causing the Corporation to redeem such shares at the then current Market Price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, by means of the issuance of long-term indebtedness for the purpose of such redemption), demanding the repayment of any distributions received in respect of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock acquired in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or to rescind such Transfer or attempted Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers (or in the case of events other than a Transfer, Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, regardless of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or such committee, (a) shall be void ab initio or (b) shall automatically result in the transfer described in Section 10.3 of this Article; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article; provided, further, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof may exercise such authority in a manner that interferes with any ownership or transfer of Class Y Preferred Stock that is expressly authorized pursuant to Section 10.8(C) of this Article. 10.3 TRANSFER IN TRUST. (A) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article, at any time after the Issue Date there is a purported Transfer (an "Excess Transfer") (whether or not such Transfer is the result of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other securities exchange or an automated inter-dealer quotation system) or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation (including, but not limited to, any redemption of Equity Stock) or other event (including, but not limited to, any acquisition of any share of Equity Stock) such that (a) any Person (other than the Initial Holder or a Look-Through Entity) would Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or (b) the Initial Holder would Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Initial Holder Limit, or (c) any Person that is a Look-Through Entity would Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Look-Through Ownership Limit (in any such event, the Person, Initial Holder or Look-Through Entity that would Beneficially Own shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Entity Limit, respectively, is referred to as a "Prohibited Transferee"), then, except as otherwise 11 provided in Section 10.8 of this Article, such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or another event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look Through Entity Ownership Limit. (B) APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with either the Corporation or any Prohibited Transferee. The Trustee may be an individual or a bank or trust company duly licensed to conduct a trust business. (C) STATUS OF SHARES HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class Y Preferred Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(E), the Prohibited Transferee shall have no rights in the Class Y Preferred Stock held by the Trustee, and the Prohibited Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust. (D) DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Class Y Preferred Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be repaid to the Corporation upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Class Y Preferred Stock. Any dividends or distributions so disgorged or rescinded shall be paid over to the Trustee and held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. Any vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee will be rescinded as void ab initio and shall be recast in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The owner of the shares at the time of the Excess Transfer, change in capital structure or other event giving rise to a potential violation of the Ownership Limit, Initial Holder Limit or Look-Through Entity Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. (E) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Trustee of the Trust may sell the shares held in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the Ownership Restrictions. If such a sale is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Prohibited Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 10.3(E). The Prohibited Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee for the shares or, if the Prohibited Transferee did not give value for the shares (through a gift, devise or other transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Transferee shall be payable to the Charitable Beneficiary. If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3(E) or any application thereof is determined in a final judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the Prohibited Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Corporation, to have acted as the agent of the Corporation in acquiring the Class Y Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions would, by their terms, apply, and to hold such Class Y Preferred Stock on behalf of the Corporation. (F) PURCHASE RIGHT IN STOCK TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE. Shares of Class Y Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the Excess Transfer or other event resulting in a transfer to the Trust and (ii) the date that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that an Excess Transfer or other event occurred. 12 (G) DESIGNATION OF CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust relating to such Prohibited Transferee if (i) the shares of Class Y Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the Ownership Restrictions in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. 10.4 NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER. Any Person that acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Class Y Preferred Stock in violation of Section 10.1 of this Article, or any Person that is a Prohibited Transferee such that stock is transferred to the Trustee under Section 10.3 of this Article, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event on the Corporation's status as a REIT. Failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Board of Directors provided herein in any way. 10.5 OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. From and after the Issue Date certain record and Beneficial Owners and transferees of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock will be required to provide certain information as set out below. (A) ANNUAL DISCLOSURE. Every record holder or Beneficial Owner of more than 5% (or such other percentage between 0.5% and 5%, as provided in the applicable regulations adopted under the Code) of the number of Outstanding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such record holder or Beneficial Owner, the number of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned, and a full description of how such shares are held. Each such record holder or Beneficial Owner of Class Y Preferred Stock shall, upon demand by the Corporation, disclose to the Corporation in writing such additional information with respect to the Beneficial Ownership of the Class Y Preferred Stock as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate or necessary to (i) comply with the provisions of the Code regarding the qualification of the Corporation as a REIT under the Code and (ii) ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit, as applicable. Each stockholder of record, including without limitation any Person that holds shares of Class Y Preferred Stock on behalf of a Beneficial Owner, shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the written notice described in this Section 10.5 from the Beneficial Owner. (B) DISCLOSURE AT THE REQUEST OF THE CORPORATION. Any Person that is a Beneficial Owner of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock and any Person (including the stockholder of record) that is holding shares of Class Y Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Owner, and any proposed transferee of shares, shall provide such information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the Corporation's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or other governmental agency, to determine any such compliance or to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit, and shall provide a statement or affidavit to the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Class Y Preferred Stock already Beneficially Owned by such stockholder or proposed transferee and any related persons specified, which statement or affidavit shall be in the form prescribed by the Corporation for that purpose. 10.6 REMEDIES NOT LIMITED. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable (subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 of this Article) (i) to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders in the preservation of the Corporation's status as a REIT and (ii) to insure compliance with the Ownership Limit, the Initial Holder Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit. 10.7 AMBIGUITY. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of Section 10 of this Article, or in the case of an ambiguity in any definition contained in Section 10 of this Article, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. 10.8 EXCEPTIONS. The following exceptions shall apply or may be established with respect to the limitations of Section 10.1 of this Article. 13 (A) WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of tax counsel or other evidence or undertaking acceptable to it, may waive the application, in whole or in part, of the Ownership Limit to a Person subject to the Ownership Limit, if such person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a) of the Code (as modified to exclude qualified trusts from treatment as individuals pursuant to Section 856(h)(3) of the Code) and is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, estate or trust. In connection with any such exemption, the Board of Directors may require such representations and undertakings from such Person and may impose such other conditions as the Board of Directors deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT. (B) PLEDGE BY INITIAL HOLDER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the pledge by the Initial Holder of all or any portion of the Class Y Preferred Stock directly owned at any time or from time to time shall not constitute a violation of Section 10.1 of this Article and the pledgee shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class Y Preferred Stock so pledged to it either as a result of the pledge or upon foreclosure. (C) UNDERWRITERS. For a period of 270 days (or such longer period of time as any underwriter described below shall hold an unsold allotment of Class Y Preferred Stock) following the purchase of Class Y Preferred Stock by an underwriter that (i) is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity and (ii) participates in an offering of the Class Y Preferred Stock, such underwriter shall not be subject to the Ownership Limit with respect to the Class Y Preferred Stock purchased by it as a part of or in connection with such offering and with respect to any Class Y Preferred Stock purchased in connection with market making activities. 10.9 LEGEND.

If the restrictions on transfer are violated, (i) the transfer of the shares of Class Y Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will be void in accordance with the Charter (including the Articles Supplementary setting forth the terms of the Class Y Cumulative Preferred Stock) or (ii) the shares of Class Y Cumulative Preferred Stock represented hereby will automatically be transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries." 10.10 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Article or any application of any such provision is determined in a final and unappealable judgment to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any Federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. 10.11 BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISCRETION.
