Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

      Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

          On March 8, 2005, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or the Company, entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. On April 7, 2005, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,400,000 depositary shares, each depositary share representing a 1/100 fractional interest in a share of 8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The gross proceeds from the sale of the depositary shares, or $135,000,000, were used to redeem 54,000 shares of 9% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company and the corresponding 5,400,000 depositary shares representing the 9% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock redeemed. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

          Each of the depositary shares issued on April 7, 2005, or the Depositary Shares, represents a 1/100 fractional interest in a share of 8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, of the Company deposited with SunTrust Bank, as depositary, pursuant to a Deposit Agreement, dated April 7, 2005, by and among the Company, SunTrust Bank and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Shares. The Deposit Agreement governs the deposit of the Series C Preferred Stock with the depositary and the issuance of the Depositary Shares. A copy of the Depositary Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

          Each holder of the Depositary Shares is entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock, including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights, preferences, privileges and obligations of an owner of the Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share). Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly on the last calendar day of January, April, July and October of each year, commencing on July 31, 2005, at a rate of 8% of the liquidation preference per year (equivalent to $2.00 per year per Depositary Share). The Series C Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares are not redeemable prior to April 7, 2010. On and after April 7, 2010, the Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at is option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any.

          On April 7, 2005, the Company, in its capacity as the sole general partner of FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, and on behalf of the limited partners of FelCor LP, pursuant to the power of attorney granted to the Company in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of FelCor LP, as amended, or the LP Agreement, entered into the Seventh Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of FelCor LP. The Seventh Amendment adopted Addendum No. 4 to the LP Agreement. Addendum No. 4 established and designated units of limited partnership interest as “Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.” The Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units have the preferences and other rights, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption that are applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. A copy of the Seventh Amendment and Addendum No. 4 are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 3 — Securities and Trading Markets

      Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

          The Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the Charter of the Company as in effect, has the authority to issue in one or more series of up to 20,000,000 shares of Company preferred stock. On April 6, 2005, the Company filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland Articles Supplementary to its Charter. The Articles Supplementary designated 54,000 shares of Company preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, as “8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.” The following is a description of the material terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares representing the Series C Preferred Stock.

      Dividends. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares are cumulative from the date of issuance payable at the rate of 8% of the liquidation preference per year (equivalent to $2.00 per year per Depositary Share). Dividends are payable quarterly on the last calendar day of January, April, July, October (or, if not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) commencing on July 31, 2005. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock will accrue from the date of issuance regardless of whether the Company has sufficient earnings or funds otherwise legally available for the payment of dividends or has declared any such dividends.

      Liquidation Preference. The Series C Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, if any.

      Optional Redemption. The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to April 7, 2010, except in limited circumstances relating to the ownership limitation necessary to preserve the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust. On and after April 7, 2010, the Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the date of redemption.

      Ranking. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, the Series C Preferred Stock will rank pari passu with the Company’s outstanding $1.95 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 9% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and senior to the Company’s outstanding common stock.

      Voting Rights. Holders of Depositary Shares, generally, will not have any voting rights, except as required by law. However, if dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock or any parity preferred stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of Depositary Shares (voting together, as a single class, with the holders of Company Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and of any other series of Company preferred stock on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock having like voting rights that are then exercisable) will be entitled to elect a total of two directors to the Company’s board of directors until all dividends accumulated on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any parity preferred stock have been fully paid or set aside for payment.

      No Conversion Rights. The Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the Company’s other securities. Under certain transfer restrictions contained in the Company’s Charter, however, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may become excess shares in order, among other things, to ensure that the Company remains qualified as a real estate investment trust for Federal income tax purposes.

 


Table of Contents

      Restrictions on Ownership. To ensure that the Company can satisfy certain ownership limitations applicable to real estate investment trusts, no person may own (including ownership attributed to that person for Federal income tax purposes) more than 9.9% of any class of Company capital stock. Ownership of the Series C Preferred Stock will be attributed to holders of the Depository Shares on a prorated basis.

      Listing The Depositary Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FCH Pr C.”

      Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Articles Supplementary designated 54,000 shares of Company preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, as “8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.” A copy of the Articles Supplementary is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representatives, as used herein, shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospec- tus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 18 hereof. 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1. (a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on file number 333-46357 on Form S-3, including a related basic prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. The Company may have filed one or more amendments thereto, including a Preliminary Final Prospectus, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will next file with the Commission one of the following: (1) after the Effective Date of such registration statement, a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rules 430A and 424(b), (2) prior to the Effective Date of such registration statement, an amendment to such registration statement (including the form of final prospectus supplement) or (3) a final prospectus supplement in accordance with Rules 415 and 424(b). In the case of clause (1), the Company has included in such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Date, all information (other than Rule 430A Information) required by the Act and the rules thereunder to be included in such registration statement and the Final Prospectus. As filed, such final prospectus supplement or such amendment and form of final prospectus supplement shall contain all Rule 430A Information, together with all other such required information, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Basic Prospectus and any Preliminary Final Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x). (b) On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement did or will, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder; on the Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and, on the Effective Date, the Final Prospectus, if not filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), will not, and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any settlement date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information fur- -2- nished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto). (c) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; no order preventing or suspending the use of any Final Prospectus has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission or the securities authority of any state or other jurisdiction. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened or, to the best knowledge of the Company, contemplated by the Commission or the securities authority of any state or other jurisdiction and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. (d) Each document, if any, filed or to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. (e) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland with all requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Final Prospectus. The Company has been duly qualified or registered to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each other jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its business as described in the Final Prospectus requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, business, prospects, net worth or results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the entities listed on Schedule II hereto (the "Subsidiaries"), taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect"). Except for the Subsidiaries, the Company does not own, control, or have an equity interest in, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity. The Company, the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary, as applicable, owns the percentage equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries as reflected on Schedule II hereto. All of such equity interests have been duly and validly authorized and issued and, except for general partnership interests, are fully paid and non-assessable and are so owned free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, security interests, preemptive right or other claims, except as set forth in such entity's governing documents or otherwise reflected on Schedule II hereto. (f) The Operating Partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Delaware Act") with all requisite partnership power and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Final Prospectus. Each Subsidiary (other than the Operating Partnership) has been duly formed and is validly existing as a corporation, business trust, limited partnership or limited liability company in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of forma- -3- tion. Each Subsidiary has been duly qualified or registered to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, business trust, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in each other jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its business as now conducted requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is, and at the Closing Date will be, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and at the Closing Date will own, directly or indirectly, at least a 95% interest in the Operating Partnership. (g) The Company has all requisite corporate right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to execute and file articles supplementary relating to the classification of authorized shares of Securities (the "Articles Supplementary"), to enter into the other documents to be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, to issue, sell and deliver the Securities as provided in the Final Prospectus and to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Final Prospectus. (h) This Agreement and the Articles Supplementary have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. (i) The Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, and when executed and delivered by the Company (and assuming the due authorization by the Depositary), will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity. (j) The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended or supplemented (the "Partnership Agreement"), has been duly and validly executed by the Company on behalf of itself and all of the other partners in the Operating Partnership. The Subsidiaries that are parties to the Management Agreements have the requisite power and authority to enter into the Management Agreements and to perform their obligations thereunder. Each such agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries, as applicable. (This Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Articles Supplementary, the Partnership Agreement and the Management Agreements sometimes are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Operative Documents"). (k) Each consent, approval, authorization, order, license, certificate, permit, registration, designation or filing by or with any governmental agency or body necessary for the valid authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Articles Supplementary and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby has been made or obtained and is in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Articles Supplementary has not been filed, but will be filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation at or before the Closing Date. (l) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery by the Company of the Securities, nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement -4- or the Articles Supplementary and the other documents to be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by the Company nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in the Final Prospectus will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) constitute a default under, any of the Operative Documents, the charter (as amended by the Articles Supplementary), articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, as the case may be, of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary; any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary is a party or to which they, any of them, any of their respective properties or other assets or any Hotel is subject, except that any violation of the "Ownership Limit," as defined in the Company's articles of amendment and restatement, because of the issuance of the Securities, has been waived, or will be waived prior to the Closing Date, by the Company's board of directors as permitted by such instrument and except such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or any applicable statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body applicable to any of the foregoing or any of their respective properties, except such breaches or violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim or encumbrance upon any property or asset of any of the foregoing, except such liens, charges, claims or encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (m) The Depositary Shares and the Preferred Stock have been validly authorized by the Company. When the shares of Preferred Stock and the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares representing interests in such Preferred Stock are issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, the Preferred Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The deposit of the Preferred Stock by the Company with the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized and, when the Depositary Shares are issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Depositary Shares will represent legal and valid interests in the Preferred Stock as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement by the Depositary, each Depositary Share will represent the interest described in the Final Prospectus in a validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Preferred Stock. Assuming due execution and delivery of the Depositary Receipts by the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary Receipts will entitle the holders thereof to the benefits provided therein and in the Deposit Agreement.

(hh) The Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Company's method of operation enables it to meet the requirements for taxation as a real estate investment trust under the Code. The Company has qualified and continues to qualify and has taken all necessary action to be treated, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 1994, as a REIT under the Code, and the Company's organization and current proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT for its taxable year ending December 31, 2004, and in the future. The Operating Partnership and all other subsidiary partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies (excluding taxable REIT subsidiaries) have been since their respective formations, and continue to be, treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes and not as corporations or associations or publicly traded partnerships taxable as corporations. -11- (ii) Neither the Company, the Operating Partnership nor any Subsidiary is, will become as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, or will conduct its respective business in a manner in which any such entity would become, an "investment company," or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Registration Statement has become or becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the Final Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form reasonably approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing.

The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (1) notify the Representatives of such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering. (e) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities and will pay any fee of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., in connection with its review of the offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. (f) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, -14- (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any shares of the Securities or other preferred stock, depositary shares or depositary receipts ranking pari passu with the Securities or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.

To such counsel's knowledge, there are no other jurisdictions in which the ownership or leasing of the Company's properties or the nature or conduct of its business requires such qualification or registration, except where the -16- failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To such counsel's knowledge, the Operating Partnership or the Company, as applicable, directly or indirectly, owns the percentage equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries as reflected on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement. All of the equity interests reflected on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement have been duly and validly authorized and issued and, except for general partnership interests, are to such counsel's knowledge fully paid and non-assessable and are so owned free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, security interests, preemptive right or other claims, except as set forth in such entity's governing documents or on Schedule II.

To such counsel's knowledge, there are no other jurisdictions in which the ownership or leasing of the Operating Partnership's properties or the nature or conduct of its business requires such qualification or registration, except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 95% interest in the Operating Partnership. (iii) Each Significant Subsidiary has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited partnership or limited liability company in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation. Each such Significant Subsidiary has all requisite partnership or limited liability company power and authority to own and lease its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted. (iv) The Company has all requisite corporate right, power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform the Underwriting Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Articles Supplementary, to issue, sell and deliver the Securities as provided in the Final Prospectus and to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Final Prospectus. (v) The Underwriting Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Articles Supplementary have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. (vi) Each consent, approval, authorization, order, license, certificate, permit, registration, designation or filing by or with any governmental agency or body necessary for the valid authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Se- -17- curities, the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Final Prospectus has been made or obtained and is in full force and effect, except such (i) as may be necessary under state securities or real estate syndication laws or by the NASD in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, as to which such counsel need express no opinion, or (ii) solely as the same may relate to the Operative Documents, the lack of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (vii) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the other documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby by the Company, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in the Final Prospectus, will violate any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any of the Operative Documents, the charter (as amended by the Articles Supplementary), articles or certificates of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, as the case may be, of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary; or, to the knowledge of such counsel, under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to any required reports, schedules, forms, statements or other documents filed by the Company or the Operating Partnership with the Commission (collectively, the "SEC Reports"), except that any violation of the "Ownership Limit," as defined in the Company's articles of amendment and restatement, because of the issuance of the Preferred Stock has been waived by the Company's board of directors as permitted by such instrument and except for violations or defaults under agreements or instruments which have since been terminated, cured or otherwise satisfied or such violations or defaults as would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or, to the knowledge of such counsel, violate any applicable statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body of the United States of America or the State of Texas (provided that no opinion is given with respect to laws regulating alcoholic beverages), except for violations as would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or, to the knowledge of such counsel, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim or encumbrance upon any property or asset of any of the foregoing, except for liens, charges, claims or encumbrances which are created by the Operative Documents or which have since been terminated, cured or otherwise would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (viii) The Depositary Shares and the Preferred Stock have been validly authorized by the Company. When the Preferred Stock and the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares representing interests in such Preferred Stock are issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided in the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, the Preferred Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The deposit of the Pre- -18- ferred Stock by the Company with the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized and, when the Depositary Shares are issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Depositary Shares will represent legal and valid interests in the Preferred Stock as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement by the Depositary, each Depositary Share will represent the interest described in the Final Prospectus in a validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Preferred Stock. Assuming due execution and delivery of the Depositary Receipts by the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary Receipts will entitle the holders thereof to the benefits provided therein and in the Deposit Agreement. To such counsel's knowledge, no person or entity has a right of participation or first refusal with respect to the sale of the Depositary Shares by the Company. The form of certificates evidencing the Preferred Stock comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Maryland law. The Depositary Receipts are in due and proper form. (ix) All offers and sales of the Company's capital stock prior to the date hereof were at all relevant times duly registered under the Act or exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by reason of Sections 3(b), 4(2) or 4(6) thereof, and (with the exception of shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock registered under the Act, as to which such counsel need not opine) were duly registered or the subject of an available exemption from the registration requirements of the applicable state securities or blue sky laws. (x) The Company's authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock is as disclosed in the Final Prospectus. All of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Securities conform to the description thereof contained in the Final Prospectus. To the knowledge of such counsel, except as disclosed in the Final Prospectus, and except for any grants of options or restricted stock made in the ordinary course of business under the Company's restricted stock and stock option plans, there is no outstanding option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of, and no commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any security convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company. (xi) All of the issued Units have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid. None of the issued Units have been issued or is owned or held in violation of any preemptive rights. The Units to be issued to the Company at the Closing Date have been duly and validly authorized by the Operating Partnership. When issued and delivered against payment thereof as provided in the Partnership Agreement, such Units will be duly and validly issued and fully paid. All of the outstanding Units have been issued, offered and sold in compliance with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, federal and state se- -19- curities laws). The Units to be issued to the Company at the Closing Date will be issued, offered and sold in compliance with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws). (xii) The Company, the Operating Partnership and each Significant Subsidiary is not in violation of its respective charter, articles or certificates of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, as the case may be. (xiii) To such counsel's knowledge, except as described in the Final Prospectus, there is not pending or threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation against either the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their respective officers and directors or to which the properties, assets or rights of any such entity are subject, which, if determined adversely to any such entity, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. (xiv) There are no contracts, leases or other documents known to such counsel of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which are not described or filed as required. To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no statutes or regulations of the United States of America or the State of Texas (provided that no opinion is given with respect to laws regulating alcoholic beverages) applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership or certificates, permits or other authorizations from governmental regulatory officials or bodies required to be obtained or maintained by such entity, known to such counsel, of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus which have not been so disclosed and properly described therein. (xv) The Depositary Shares have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject only to official notice of issuance. (xvi) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or contemplated under the Act. Other than financial statements and other financial and operating information data and schedules contained therein, as to which counsel need express no opinion, the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto appear on their face to conform as to form in all material respects with the requirements of Form S-3 under the Act. To the knowledge of such counsel, the conditions for use of a registration statement on Form S-3 set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-3 have been satisfied with respect to the Company and the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. (xvii) The Company's and the Operating Partnership's SEC Reports (other than financial statements and related schedules and statistical data, as to -20- which such counsel need express no opinion) appear on their face to be responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Exchange Act. (xviii) Neither the Company, the Operating Partnership nor any Significant Subsidiary is, or solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will become, an "investment company," or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (xix) The statements in the Final Prospectus under the caption "Description of Series C Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares" fairly summarize the matters referred to therein. In addition, such counsel shall have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and participated in discussions with certain officers and employees of the Company, representatives of the independent accountants who examined the financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, and you and your representatives. While such counsel shall have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus (including any of the documents incorporated by reference therein except as set forth in opinion (xix) above), on the basis of such participation and review, nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement (it being understood that we express no comment with respect to the financial statements and schedules, including the notes thereto, or any other financial or statistical data that is found in or derived from the internal accounting or other records of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus), at the time such Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Final Prospectus (it being understood that we express no comment with respect to the financial statements and schedules, including the notes thereto, or any other financial or statistical data that is found in or derived from the internal accounting or other records of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus), as of its date, or at the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In rendering their opinion as aforesaid, such counsel may rely upon an opinion or opinions, each dated the Closing Date, of other counsel retained by them, the Company or the Operating Partnership as to laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States and jurisdictions in which they are admitted, provided that (1) each such local counsel is acceptable to the Un-derwriters, (2) a copy of each such opinion is delivered to the Un- -21- derwriters and is in form and substance satisfactory to them and their counsel, and (3) counsel shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying thereon. In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinion, such counsel may rely on, as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries and certificates or other written statements of officers or departments of various jurisdictions, having custody of documents respecting the existence or good standing of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries provided that copies of all such opinions, statements or certificates shall be delivered to the Underwriters. (c) The Company shall have requested and caused Hunton & Williams LLP, REIT counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, to the effect that: (i) The Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Company's current and proposed method of operation enables it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. (ii) The Company qualified and continues to qualify, and has taken all necessary action to be treated, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 1994, as a REIT under the Code. (iii) The Operating Partnership has been since its formation in 1994, and continues to be, treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as a corporation or an association or a publicly traded partnership or other entity taxable as a corporation. (iv) Each Subsidiary partnership (which term does not include any TRS) has been since its formation, and continues to be, treated for federal income tax purpose either as a partnership or as a disregarded entity and not as a corporation or an association or as a publicly traded partnership or other entity taxable as a corporation. (v) The statements in the Final Prospectus under the caption "Federal Income Tax Consequences of Our Status as a REIT," insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the U.S. federal laws referred to therein, are accurate and fairly summarize in all material respects the U.S. federal tax laws referred to therein. In rendering the foregoing opinion, counsel may rely, as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and the Operating Partnership and certificates or other written statements of officers or departments of various jurisdictions, having custody of documents respecting the existence or good standing of the Company and the Operating Partnership provided that copies of all -22 such opinions, statements or certificates shall be delivered to counsel for the Underwriters. (d) The Representatives shall have received from Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. (e) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President or Executive Vice President and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus, any supplements to the Final Prospectus and this Agreement and that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened; and (iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). (f) The Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" with respect to the financial statements and financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus. -23- (g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request. (h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change. (i) The Depositary Shares shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Representatives. (j) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have filed the Articles Supplementary with the Department of Assessments and Taxation. (k) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Representative shall have received the Deposit Agreement executed by the Company and such agreement shall be in full force and effect at all times from and after the Closing Date. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing. The documents required to be delivered by this Section 7 shall be delivered at the office of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 80 Pine Street, New York, NY 10005, on the Closing Date. 8. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to -24- which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. (b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading "Underwriting," (i) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (ii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iii) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel -25- retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or, (b) or (c) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by -26- pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 11. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) there has been any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company, the Operating Partnership and any of the Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business; (ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq National Market; (iii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iv) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred; (v) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State; or (vi) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis -27- that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (vi), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Prospectus. 12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 13. Notices.

Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. 16. Counterparts.

(n) "Transfer Agent" means SunTrust Bank, or such other agent or agents of the Company as may be designated by the Board of Directors or their designee as the transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock. (o) "Voting Preferred Stock" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9(a) hereof. SECTION 3. DIVIDENDS. (a) The Holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, dividends payable in cash in an amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to 8% of the liquidation preference per year. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date of such shares, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are authorized, and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the 2 Issue Date. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Company at the close of business on such record dates, not more than 60 days preceding such Dividend Payment Dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. 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, not exceeding 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. (b) The amount of dividends payable for each full Dividend Period for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four. The amount of dividends payable for any period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period, on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Holders of the Series C 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 Series C 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 Series C Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. (c) So long as any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, except as described in the immediately following sentence, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date on 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 shares of the Series C 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 accrued and unpaid on the Series C Preferred Stock and accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock. (d) So long as any shares of the Series 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 or other distribution declared or made upon Junior Stock, nor shall Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Company 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) by the Company, directly or indirectly, unless in each case (i) the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock of the Company shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series C 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 dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock and the current dividend period with respect to such Parity Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the Company may at any time acquire shares of its capital stock, without regard to rank, for the purpose of preserving its status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). 3 SECTION 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) per share of Series C Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock 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 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 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 Company with one or more corporations, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company'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 Company. (b) Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series C Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. SECTION 5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY. (a) The Series C Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to April 7, 2010. On and after April 7, 2010, the Company, at its option, may redeem the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in whole or in part, as set forth herein, subject to the provisions described below. (b) The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice. In order to exercise its redemption option, the Company must issue a press release announcing the redemption (the "Press Release"). The Company may not issue a Press Release prior to April 7, 2010. The Press Release shall announce the redemption and set forth the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock which the Company intends to redeem. The Call Date shall be selected by the Company, shall be specified in the notice of redemption and, subject to the provisions of Section 5(e) below, shall be not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date on which the Company issues the Press Release. 4 (c) Upon redemption of Series C Preferred Stock by the Company on the date specified in the notice to holders required under subparagraph (e) of this Section 5 (the "Call Date"), each share of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed in cash at a price per share equal to $2,500.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the Call Date, without interest, to the extent that the Company has funds legally available therefor. The redemption price of the Series C Preferred Stock may be paid from any source. Dividends payable on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock for any period greater or less than a full dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. (d) If full cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Parity Stock of the Company have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Series C Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Company may not purchase or acquire shares of Series C Preferred Stock, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. (e) If the Company shall redeem shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, notice of such redemption shall be given to the record holders of the Series C Preferred Stock by the Company not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the Call Date. 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 Company, or by publication in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or THE NEW YORK TIMES, or if neither such newspaper is then being published, any other daily newspaper of national circulation. If the Company elects to provide such notice by publication, it shall also promptly mail notice of such redemption to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (e), 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 mailed or published notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Call Date: (2) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; (4) the place or places where the Series C Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (5) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such Call Date except as otherwise provided herein. Notice having been published or mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date (unless the Company 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 the Series C Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates). The Company's obligation to provide cash in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Company shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Company) that has an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, any cash necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that 5 such cash be applied to the redemption of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so called for redemption. At the close of business on the Call Date, each share Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5(a) (unless the Company defaults in the delivery of the cash payable on such Call Date) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding regardless of whether such holder has surrendered the certificates representing the Series C Preferred Stock. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Company. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Call Date (together with any interest or other earnings accrued thereon) shall revert to the general funds of the Company, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Company for the payment of such cash, and shall have no right to interest from and after the Call Date. As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company shall so require and if the notice shall so state), such shares shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company from outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method determined by the Company in its sole discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, then new certificates representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holder thereof. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time acquire shares of its capital stock, without regard to rank, for the purpose of preserving its status as a REIT, for purposes of an employee benefit plan of the Company, or in accordance with the conversion or redemption provisions of any class of Preferred Stock ranking on parity with or senior to the Series C Preferred Stock. (g) The procedures for redeeming any depositary receipts evidencing fractional interests in the Series C Preferred Stock shall be substantially the same as the procedures for redeeming the Series C Preferred Stock contained in this Section 5 except that the depositary agent that issued the depositary receipts being redeemed may act on behalf of the Company. SECTION 6. SHARES TO BE RETIRED. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Company shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series. The Company may also retire any unissued shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and such shares shall then be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series. SECTION 7. CONVERSION. Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have no conversion rights. 6 SECTION 8. RANKING. Any class or series of stock of the Company shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to the Series 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 amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with the Series 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 are different from those of the Series C Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class or series of stock and the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and 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 ("Parity Stock"); the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be Parity Stock with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock; and (c) junior to the Series C Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such class or series of stock shall be Common Stock or if the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or 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 of stock. SECTION 9. VOTING. (a) If and whenever six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Series 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 a similar arrearage with respect to any Parity Stock) and the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with the holders of shares of every other series of Parity Stock similarly entitled to vote (any such other series, the "Voting Preferred Stock"), 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 Series C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all arrearage dividends on the Series 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 Series 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 arrearage in six quarterly dividends), and the terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate and the number of members of the Board of Directors shall be automatically reduced accordingly. At any time after such voting 7 power shall have been so vested in the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, the secretary of the Company may, and upon the written request of any holder of Series C Preferred Stock or any holder of depositary receipts evidencing a fractional interest in the Series C Preferred Stock (addressed to the secretary at the principal office of the Company) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and 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 Company for a special meeting of the stockholders or as required by law. If any such special meeting required to be called as above provided shall not be called by the secretary within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or depositary receipts representing a fractional interest in the Series C Preferred Stock) may call such meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access to the stock books of the Company. 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 Series 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 Series 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 Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter, as amended, the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock, at the time outstanding, acting as a single class regardless of series, at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating the following: (i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of these Articles Supplementary, whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, that materially adversely affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock or the Voting 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 any Junior Stock or any shares of any class ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock or the Voting Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if any such amendment, alteration or repeal would materially adversely affect any voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock or another series of Voting Preferred Stock that are not enjoyed by some or all of the other series which otherwise would be entitled to vote in accordance herewith, the affirmative vote of least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all series similarly affected, similarly given, shall be required in lieu of the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock which otherwise would be entitled to vote in accordance herewith; 8 (ii) Enter into a share exchange that affects the Series C Preferred Stock, consolidate with or merge into another entity, or permit another entity to consolidate with or merge into the Company, unless in each such case, each share of Series C Preferred Stock remains outstanding without a material and adverse change to its terms and rights or is converted into or exchanged for a share of preferred stock of the surviving entity having preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption identical to those of a share of Series C Preferred Stock (except for changes that do not materially and adversely affect the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock); or (iii) The authorization, reclassification, or creation of, or the increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or any security convertible into shares of any class ranking prior to the Series C Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or in the payment of dividends. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have one hundred (100) votes per share, each of which may be directed separately by the holder thereof (or by any proxy or proxies of such holder). With respect to each share of the Series C Preferred Stock, the holder thereof may designate up to 100 proxies, with each proxy having the right to vote a whole number of votes (totaling 100 votes per share of Series C Preferred Stock). Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series 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. SECTION 10. RECORD HOLDERS. The Company and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute and deliver, in exchange therefor, definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Company's expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, and with respect to the Preferred Shares deposited, as definitive Receipts. Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary, provided that if a Registrar (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed, then such Receipts shall also be countersigned by manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless it shall have been executed as provided in the preceding sentence. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt executed as provided above and delivered as hereinafter provided. Except as the Depositary may otherwise determine, Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. All Receipts shall be dated the date of their issuance. Receipts may be endorsed with, or have incorporated in the text thereof, such legends or recitals, or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required by the Depositary or required to comply with any applicable law or regulation or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipt is subject. 3 Title to any Receipt (and to the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt) that is properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until a Receipt shall be transferred on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.4, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the Record Holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions, the exercise of any conversion rights or to any notice provided for in this Agreement and for all other purposes. SECTION 2.2 Deposit of Preferred Shares; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Depositary a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the Depositary and evidencing Preferred Shares, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with (i) all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) a written order of the Company directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the Depositary Shares representing such deposited Preferred Shares. The Depositary hereby acknowledges receipt of the deposited Preferred Shares and related documentation and agrees to hold such deposited Preferred Shares in an account to be established by the Depositary at the Corporate Office or at such other office as the Depositary shall determine. The Company hereby appoints the Depositary as the Registrar and Transfer Agent for Preferred Shares deposited hereunder, and the Depositary hereby accepts such appointment and, as such, will reflect changes in the number of shares (including any fractional shares) of deposited Preferred Shares held by it by notation, book-entry or other appropriate method. If required by the Depositary, Preferred Shares presented for deposit by the Company at any time, whether or not the register of shareholders of the Company is closed, shall also be accompanied by an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, that will provide for the prompt transfer to the Depositary or its nominee of any dividend or right to subscribe for additional Preferred Shares or to receive other property that any person in whose name the Preferred Shares is or has been registered may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited Preferred Shares, or in lieu thereof such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Preferred Shares deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, and upon registering such Preferred Shares in the name of the Depositary, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall execute and deliver to, or upon the order of, the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.2, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of whole Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Shares so deposited and registered in such name or names as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of any person requesting such delivery, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such person. 4 Other than in the case of splits, combinations or other reclassifications affecting the Preferred Shares, or in the case of dividends or other distributions of Preferred Shares, if any, there shall be deposited hereunder not more than the number of shares constituting the Preferred Shares as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, as such may be amended. The Company shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request to enable the Depositary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. SECTION 2.3 Optional Redemption of Preferred Shares for Cash. Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem deposited Preferred Shares for cash in accordance with the provisions of the Articles Supplementary, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior written notice of the date of such proposed redemption and of the number of such Preferred Shares held by the Depositary to be redeemed and the applicable redemption price, as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of such redemption. The Depositary shall mail, first-class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Preferred Shares and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Shares to be redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares (the "cash redemption date"), to the holders of record on the record date fixed for such redemption pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any such notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to other holders. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: the cash redemption date; the cash redemption price; the number of deposited Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares to be redeemed; if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the cash redemption price; and that from and after the cash redemption date dividends in respect of the Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional Depositary Shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Company. The Company may also cause notice of redemption to be published in the Wall Street Journal or New York Times or, if neither is being published, in any other newspaper of national circulation, prior to the cash redemption date. In the event that notice of redemption has been made as described in the immediately preceding paragraph and the Company shall then have paid in full to the Depositary the cash redemption price (determined pursuant to the Articles Supplementary) of the Preferred Shares deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed (including any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption), the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares 5 representing such Preferred Shares so called for redemption by the Company and from and after the cash redemption date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem the Preferred Shares to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company's notice provided for in the preceding paragraph), all dividends in respect of the Preferred Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the cash redemption price and any money or other property to which holders of such Receipts were entitled upon such redemption) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per Depositary Share plus any other money and other property payable in respect of such Preferred Shares. The foregoing shall be further subject to the terms and conditions of the Articles Supplementary. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with payment of the cash redemption price for and all other amounts payable in respect of the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. SECTION 2.4 Registration of Transfers of Receipts. The Company hereby appoints the Depositary as the Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Receipts and the Depositary hereby accepts such appointment and, as such, shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer taxes as may be required by law. Upon such surrender, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts and deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. SECTION 2.5 Combinations and Split-Ups of Receipts. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of Receipts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denominations requested evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. SECTION 2.6 Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Preferred Shares. Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw any or all of the deposited Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt or Receipts and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office or at such office as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals, provided that a holder of a Receipt or Receipts may not withdraw such Preferred Shares (or money and other property, if any, represented thereby) that have previously been called for redemption. After such surrender, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to 6 such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole or fractional shares of such Preferred Shares and all such money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of such whole or fractional Preferred Shares will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Preferred Shares hereunder or to receive Depositary Shares therefor. If the Receipt or Receipts delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole or fractional shares of deposited Preferred Shares to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole or fractional Preferred Shares and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or (subject to Section 2.4) upon his order, a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Delivery of such Preferred Shares and such money and other property being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate, which, if required by the Depositary, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. If the deposited Preferred Shares and the money and other property being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Preferred Shares, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such Preferred Shares be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement in blank. The Depositary shall deliver the deposited Preferred Shares and the money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal at the Corporate Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such holder. SECTION 2.7 Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Split-Up, Combination, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company may require any or all of the following: (i) payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any tax or other governmental charge with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with respect to the Preferred Shares being deposited or withdrawn); (ii) the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature (or the authority of any signature); and (iii) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as may be required by any securities exchange upon which the deposited Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be included for quotation or listed. 7 The deposit of Preferred Shares may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Preferred Shares may be suspended, the transfer of Receipts may be refused, and the transfer, split-up, combination, surrender, exchange or redemption of outstanding Receipts may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of shareholders of the Company is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed reasonably necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under the Charter or under any provision of this Agreement. SECTION 2.8 Lost Receipts, Etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated or destroyed or lost or stolen, the Depositary, in its discretion, may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, provided that the holder thereof provides the Depositary with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction, loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his ownership thereof and (ii) reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary and the Company. SECTION 2.9 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be canceled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy such Receipts so cancelled. ARTICLE III CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND THE COMPANY SECTION 3.1 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any person presenting Preferred Shares for deposit or any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold or delay the delivery of any Receipt, the transfer, redemption or exchange of any Receipt, the withdrawal of the deposited Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt, the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof, until such proof or other information is filed, such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made. SECTION 3.2 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of certain fees and expenses, as provided in Section 6.7, or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary that such fees and expenses have been paid. Until such payment is made, transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of the Preferred Shares or money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused, any dividend or other distribution may be withheld, and any part or all of the Preferred Shares or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable 8 means to notify such holder a reasonable number of days prior to such sale). Any dividend or other distribution so withheld and the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such fees or expenses, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. SECTION 3.3 Representations and Warranties as to Preferred Shares. In the case of the initial deposit of the Preferred Shares hereunder, the Company and, in the case of subsequent deposits thereof, each person so depositing Preferred Shares under this Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Preferred Shares and each certificate therefor are valid and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so. The Company hereby further represents and warrants that such Preferred Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of Receipts. SECTION 3.4 Representation and Warranty as to Receipts and Depositary Shares. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued, will evidence legal and valid interests in the Depositary Shares and each Depositary Share will represent a legal and valid 1/100 fractional interest in a deposited Preferred Share. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares. ARTICLE IV THE PREFERRED SHARES; NOTICES SECTION 4.1 Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the deposited Preferred Shares, including any cash received upon redemption of any Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.3, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of such sum as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required to and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Preferred Shares represented by the Receipts held by any holder an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares represented by such Receipts subject to such withholding shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of Receipts a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. SECTION 4.2 Distributions Other Than Cash. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash on the deposited Preferred Shares, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the 9 Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Depositary and the Company may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If, in the opinion of the Depositary after consultation with the Company, such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such record holders, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes), the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received or any part thereof, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.2, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the holders of Receipts unless the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or property have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered. SECTION 4.3 Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Company shall at any time offer, or cause to be offered, to the persons in whose names deposited Preferred Shares are registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct (including by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges); provided, however, that (a) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Company determines upon advice of its legal counsel that it is not lawful or feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to the holders of Receipts (by the issue of warrants or otherwise) or (b) if and to the extent instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, the Depositary shall then, if so instructed by the Company, and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges so permit, sell such rights, preferences or privileges of such holders at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such rights, preferences or privileges, unless the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel stating that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws or do not need to be registered. If registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, the Company agrees that it will promptly file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences 10 or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such a registration statement shall have become effective or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel to such effect. If any other action under the law of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. SECTION 4.4 Notice of Dividends; Fixing of Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the deposited Preferred Shares, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of (i) any meeting at which holders of such Preferred Shares are entitled to vote or of which holders of such Preferred Shares are entitled to notice or (ii) any election on the part of the Company to redeem any such Preferred Shares, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Preferred Shares) for the determination of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of such meeting or whose Depositary Shares are to be so redeemed. SECTION 4.5 Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of deposited Preferred Shares are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, which shall be provided by the Company and which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (ii) a statement that the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Preferred Shares represented by their respective Depositary Shares and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall vote, or cause to be voted, the amount of Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. To the extent such instructions request the voting of a fractional interest of a share of deposited Preferred Shares, the Depositary shall aggregate such interest with all other fractional interests resulting from requests with the same voting instructions and shall vote the number of whole votes resulting from such aggregation in accordance with the instructions received in such requests. Each Preferred Share is entitled to 100 votes and, accordingly, each Depositary Share is entitled to one vote. The Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to 11 enable the Depositary to vote such Preferred Shares or cause such Preferred Shares to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. The Depositary shall not be required to exercise discretion in voting any Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. SECTION 4.6 Changes Affecting Preferred Shares and Reclassifications, Recapitalization, Etc. Upon any change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of Preferred Shares, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation affecting the Company or to which it is a party or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Depositary shall, upon the instructions of the Company: (i) make such adjustments in (a) the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one Preferred Share and (b) the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price of a Preferred Share, in each case as may be required by, or as is consistent with, the provisions of the Articles Supplementary to fully reflect the effects of such change in liquidation value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of Shares, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale and (ii) treat any shares or other securities or property (including cash) that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Preferred Shares as new deposited property under this Agreement, and Receipts then outstanding shall thenceforth represent the proportionate interests of holders thereof or the new deposited property so received in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of such Preferred Shares. In any such case the Depositary may, in its discretion, with approval of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited property. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Preferred Shares or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Preferred Shares represented thereby only into or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property and cash into which the deposited Preferred Shares evidenced by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Preferred Shares might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction. The Company shall cause effective provision to be made in the charter of the resulting or surviving corporation (if other than the Company) for protection of such rights as may be applicable upon exchange of the deposited Preferred Shares for securities or property or cash of the surviving corporation in connection with the transactions set forth above. The Company shall cause any such surviving corporation (if other than the Company) expressly to assume the obligations of the Company hereunder. SECTION 4.7 Inspection of Reports. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Corporate Office and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours any reports and communications received from the Company that are both received by the Depositary as the holder of deposited Preferred Shares and made generally available to the holders of the Preferred Shares. In addition, the Depositary shall transmit certain notices and reports to the holders of Receipts as provided in Section 6.5. 12 SECTION 4.8 Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to the Company a list, as of a recent date specified by the Company, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary. SECTION 4.9 Tax and Regulatory Compliance. The Depositary shall be responsible for (i) preparation and mailing of form 1099's for all open and closed accounts, (ii) foreign tax withholding, (iii) withholding 28% (or any withholding as may be required at the then applicable rate) of dividends from eligible holders of Receipts if directed to do so by the Company or required to do so by applicable law, (iv) mailing W-9 forms to new holders of Receipts without a certified taxpayer identification number, (v) processing certified W-9 forms, (vi) preparation and filing of state information returns and (vii) escheatment services. SECTION 4.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property is subject to any tax which the Depositary is obligated by law to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the holders of Receipts entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Depositary Shares held by them respectively.

SECTION 5.4 Remedies for Breach. If the Company or its designees, including the Depositary, at any time shall determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 5.2 of this Article V or that a Person intends to acquire, or has attempted to acquire, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Depositary Shares in violation of Section 5.2 of this Article V, the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Depositary, shall be authorized and empowered to take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or acquisition, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to 16 such Transfer on the books of the Depositary or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or acquisition. SECTION 5.5 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who attempts to acquire, or acquires, Depositary Shares in violation of Section 5.2 of this Article V, or any Person who holds record title to any Depositary Shares that were transferred to a Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Article V, shall immediately give written notice to the Company of such event and shall provide to the Company such other information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such purported Transfer or the Non-Transfer Event, as the case may be, on the Company's status as a REIT. SECTION 5.6 Owners Required to Provide Information. Prior to the Restriction Termination Date: (i) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of more than 5% (or such lower percentage as may be required pursuant to the Code or regulations issued under the Code) of the outstanding Depositary Shares shall, no later than January 30 of each year, give written notice to the Company stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner, the number of Depositary Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned and a description of how such shares are held. Each such Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Company such additional information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Company's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit and (ii) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Depositary Shares and each Person (including a stockholder of record) who is holding Depositary Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Company, promptly following any request therefor, such information as the Company may deem necessary in order to determine the Company's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit. SECTION 5.7 Remedies Not Limited.

SECTION 5.8 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article V, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to finally resolve such ambiguity and interpret the provisions hereof with respect to any situation, based on the facts known to it. SECTION 5.9 Exception. The ownership limitations set forth in Section 5.2 and/or Section 5.3 of this Article V shall not apply to the acquisition of Depositary Shares by an underwriter in a public offering of those shares or in any transaction involving the issuance of Depositary Shares in which the Board of Directors determines that the underwriter or other Person or party initially acquiring those will timely distribute those shares to or among others so that, following such distribution, the ownership of those shares will not be in violation of Section 5.2 and/or Section 5.3 of this 17 Article V. The Board of Directors, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, may exempt from the operation of Section 5.2 and/or Section 5.3 of this Article V certain specified Depositary Shares proposed to be transferred to, and/or owned by, a Person who has provided the Board of Directors with such evidence, undertakings and assurances as the Board of Directors may require that such transfer to, and/or ownership by, such Person of the specified shares will not prevent the continued qualification of the Company as a REIT under the Code and the regulations issued under the Code. The Board of Directors may, but shall not be required, to condition the grant of any such exemption upon the obtaining of an opinion of counsel, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or such other assurances as the Board of Directors shall deem to be satisfactory. SECTION 5.10. Legend. Each Receipt evidencing a Depositary Share, in addition to any other legend that may be placed thereon, shall bear the following legend: "The Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer for the purpose of maintaining the Company's status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). No Person may at any time (i) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any class of Depositary Shares in excess of 9.9% (or such other percentage as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the total number of Depositary Shares of such class outstanding as of such time; (ii) Beneficially Own Depositary Shares that would result in the Company being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code; or (iii) Constructively Own Depositary Shares that would result in the Company Constructively Owning 10% or more of the ownership interests in any tenant or subtenant of the Company's real property (including the real property held by FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership and any other partnership in which the Company owns an interest), within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Depositary Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Company in writing. If the restrictions above are violated, the Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt will be transferred automatically and by operation of law to a Trust and shall be designated Shares-in-Trust. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings assigned to them in the Deposit Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time. The Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt are subject to all of the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and the Charter and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended from time to time, to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. The Company will furnish to any stockholder, upon request and without charge, a copy of its Charter and Bylaws, and all amendments thereto, setting forth the restrictions on transfer and a statement of (i) the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the stock of each class which the Company is authorized to issue, (ii) the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series of each class of the stock which the Company is authorized to issue to the extent they have been set by the Board of Directors and (iii) the authority of the Board of Directors to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series of stock of the Company. Request for such statement may be directed to the Secretary of the Company. 18 THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH, UPON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE, TO EACH REGISTERED HOLDER OF DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS A COPY OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT AND A COPY OF THE ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY WITH RESPECT TO THE 8% SERIES C CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF THE COMPANY. ANY SUCH REQUEST SHALL BE ADDRESSED TO THE DEPOSITARY NAMED ON THE FACE OF THIS DEPOSITARY RECEIPT." SECTION 5.11 Severability. If any provision of this Article V or any application of any such provision is determined to be invalid by any Federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity 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. SECTION 5.12 Shares-in-Trust. (a) Trust. Any Depositary Shares transferred to a Trust and designated Shares-in-Trust pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Article V shall be held by the Trustee for the exclusive benefit of the Beneficiary. The Company shall name a beneficiary or beneficiaries of each Trust within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of the existence thereof. Any transfer to a Trust and designation of Depositary Shares as Shares-in-Trust, pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Article V, shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of the purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to such Trust. Shares-in-Trust shall remain issued and outstanding Depositary Shares and shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges on identical terms and conditions as are all other issued and outstanding Depositary Shares. When transferred to a Permitted Transferee, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(e) of this Article V, such Shares-in-Trust shall be released from the Trust and cease to be designated as Shares-in-Trust. (b) Dividend Rights. The Trustee, as the record holder of Shares-in-Trust, shall be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions as may be declared on such Depositary Shares and shall hold all such dividends or distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust shall repay to the Trustee the amount of any dividends or distributions received by it that (i) are attributable to any Depositary Shares designated Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the record date of which was on or after the date that such shares became Shares-in-Trust. The Company shall take all lawful measures that the Board of Directors determines to be reasonably necessary to recover the amount of any such dividend or distribution paid to a Prohibited Owner, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future dividends or distributions payable on Depositary Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by the Person who, but for the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Article V, would Constructively Own or Beneficially Own the Shares-in-Trust; and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Company's receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiary the dividends so received or withheld, as the case may be. (c) Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Company, each Trustee of Shares-in-Trust shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of 19 Depositary Shares, that portion of the assets of the Company which is available for distribution to the holders of Depositary Shares. The Trustee shall distribute to the Prohibited Owner the amounts received upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or distribution; provided, however, that the Prohibited Owner shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 5.12(e) in excess of, in the case of a purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for the Depositary Shares and which Transfer resulted in the transfer of the shares to the Trust, the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Depositary Shares and, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer. Any remaining amount in such Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary. (d) Voting Rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to vote all Shares-in-Trust. Any vote by a Prohibited Owner, as a holder of Depositary Shares, prior to the discovery by the Company that the Depositary Shares are Shares-in-Trust shall, subject to applicable law, be rescinded and shall be void ab initio with respect to such Shares-in-Trust and the Prohibited Owner shall be deemed to have given, as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust of the Depositary Shares under Section 5.12(c) of this Article V, an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the Shares-in-Trust in the manner in which the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, desires. (e) Designation of Permitted Transferee. The Trustee shall have the exclusive and absolute right to designate a Permitted Transferee of any and all Shares-in-Trust. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect the Market Price of the Shares-in-Trust, the Trustee shall designate one or more Persons as Permitted Transferees, provided, however, that (i) each such Permitted Transferee so designated shall purchase for valuable consideration (whether in a public or private sale) the Shares-in-Trust and (ii) each such Permitted Transferee so designated may acquire such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition resulting in a transfer to a Trust and the redesignation of such Depositary Shares so acquired as Shares-in-Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Article V. Upon the designation by the Trustee of a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(e), the Trustee of a Trust shall (i) cause to be transferred to the Permitted Transferee that number of Shares-in-Trust acquired by the Permitted Transferee; (ii) cause to be recorded on the books of the Depositary that the Permitted Transferee is the holder of record of such number of Depositary Shares; and (iii) distribute to the Beneficiary any and all amounts held with respect to the Shares-in-Trust after making payment to the Prohibited Owner of the amount determined pursuant to Section 5.12(f) of this Article V. (f) Compensation to Record Holder of Depositary Shares that Become Shares-in-Trust. Any Prohibited Owner shall be entitled (after giving written notice to the Company of the existence of Shares-in-Trust and following the designation of the Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 5.5 of this Article V) to receive from the Trustee, in respect of such Shares-in-Trust, the lesser of (i) in the case of (a) a purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Depositary Shares and which Transfer resulted in the 20 transfer of the shares to a Trust, the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Depositary Shares or (b) a Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer or (ii) the price per share received by the Trustee of the Trust from the sale or other disposition of such Shares-in-Trust in accordance with Section 5.12(e) of this Article V. Any amounts received by the Trustee in respect of such Shares-in-Trust and in excess of such amounts to be paid to the Prohibited Owner pursuant to Section 5.12(f) shall be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(e) of this Article V. Each Beneficiary and Prohibited Owner waive any and all claims that it may have against the Trustee, the Depositary and the Company arising out of the transfer of any Depositary Shares to a Trust, the designation of any Depositary Shares as Shares-in-Trust and the disposition of any Shares-in-Trust, except for claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or any failure to make payments in accordance with this Section 5.12 by, such Trustee or the Company. (g) Purchase Right in Shares-in-Trust. Shares-in-Trust shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, 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 shares being designated as Shares-in-Trust (or, in the case of devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event, the Market Price at the time of such devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Company, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Company shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (a) the date of the Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer which resulted in such Shares-in-Trust and (b) the date the Company determines in good faith that a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event resulting in the designation of any Depositary Shares as Shares-in-Trust has occurred, if the Company does not receive a written notice of such purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event pursuant to Section 5.5 of this Article V. SECTION 5.13 Preemptive Rights. No holder of any stock or any other securities of the Company, whether now or hereafter authorized, shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any stock or any other securities of the Company other than such, if any, as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fix; and any stock or other securities which the Board of Directors may determine to offer for subscription may, as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall determine, be offered to the holders of any class or series of stock or other securities at the time outstanding to the exclusion of the holders of any or all other classes or series of stock or other securities at the time outstanding. SECTION 5.14 Charter Controlling. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Article V and the provisions of Article V of the Charter, the provisions of Article V of the Charter shall control and govern. 21 ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITARY AND THE COMPANY SECTION 6.1 Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depositary and the Registrar. The Depositary shall maintain at the Corporate Office facilities for the execution and delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination and redemption of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Preferred Shares and at the offices of the Depositary's Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination and redemption of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Preferred Shares, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Depositary shall keep books at the Corporate Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts, which books, at all reasonable times, shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts as provided by applicable law. The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the Preferred Shares represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or any other stock exchange, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, appoint a Registrar (acceptable to the Company) for registration of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with the requirements of such Exchange. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary, if so permitted by the requirements of such Exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Preferred Shares are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request and expense of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender, redemption and exchange of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Preferred Shares as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulations. SECTION 6.2 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar or the Company. Neither the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar nor the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Charter or the Articles Supplementary or, in the case of the Company, the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing that the terms of this Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of a Receipt by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing that the terms of this Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Agreement. 22 SECTION 6.3 Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar nor the Company assumes any obligation, or shall be subject to any liability, under this Agreement or any Receipt to holders of Receipts other than from acts or omissions arising out of conduct constituting bad faith, negligence (in the case of any action or inaction with respect to the voting of the deposited Preferred Shares), gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding with respect to the deposited Preferred Shares, Depositary Shares or Receipts that in its reasonable opinion may involve it in expense or liability unless indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may be required. Neither the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar nor the Company shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information provided by any Person presenting Preferred Shares for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other Person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. The Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar and the Company may each rely, and shall each be protected in acting, upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. In the event the Depositary shall receive conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any holders of Receipts, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, the Depositary shall be entitled to act on such claims, requests or instructions received from the Company, and shall be entitled to the full indemnification set forth in Section 6.6 hereof in connection with any action so taken. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the deposited Preferred Shares or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith and does not result from negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary. The Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar. The Depositary, its parent, affiliate or subsidiaries, any Depositary's Agent, and any Registrar may own, buy, sell or deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts or Depositary Shares or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company or its affiliates may be interested or contract with or lend money to or otherwise act as fully or as freely as if it were not the Depositary or the Depositary's Agent hereunder. The Depositary may also act as transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Company and its affiliates or act in any other capacity for the Company or its affiliates. 23 It is intended that neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent shall be deemed to be an "issuer" of the securities under the federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Depositary and any Depositary's Agent are acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depositary for the deposited Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Depositary agrees to comply with all information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it under law or this Agreement in its capacity as Depositary. The Company agrees that it will register the deposited Preferred Shares and the Depositary Shares if required by the applicable securities laws. SECTION 6.4 Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If a successor depositary shall not have been appointed in 60 days, the resigning Depositary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor depositary. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all rights, title and interest in the deposited Preferred Shares and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor and shall deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding Receipts. Any successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts. Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. Such successor depositary may execute the Receipts either in the name of the predecessor depositary or in the name of the successor depositary. SECTION 6.5 Notices, Reports and Documents. The Company agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the address recorded in the Depositary's books, copies 24 of all notices and reports (including financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are included for quotation or listed or by the Charter and the Articles Supplementary to be furnished by the Company to holders of the deposited Preferred Shares and, if requested by the holder of any Receipt, a copy of this Agreement, the form of Receipt, the Articles Supplementary and the form of Preferred Shares. Such transmission will be at the Company's expense, and the Company will provide the Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the record holders of Receipts at the Company's expense such other documents as may be requested by the Company. SECTION 6.6 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that may arise out of, or in connection with, its acting as Depositary, Depositary's Agent or Registrar, respectively, under this Agreement and the Receipts, except for any liability arising out of the willful misconduct, gross negligence, negligence (in the case of any action or inaction with respect to the voting of the deposited Preferred Shares) or bad faith on the part of any such person or persons. The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.6 shall survive any succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary's Agent or termination of this Agreement.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Series E Preferred Units shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other class or series of Parity Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series E Preferred Units and any such other Parity Units ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series E Preferred Units and any such other Parity Units if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with one or more - 4 - Persons, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, or (iii) a statutory exchange of units shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Partnership. (b) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series or class or classes of Parity Units, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series E Preferred Units, as provided in this Section 3.3, any other series or class or classes of Junior Units shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series E Preferred Units shall not be entitled to share therein. 3.4 REDEMPTION. (a) The Series E Preferred Units shall be redeemable by the Partnership solely when, as, and if any share of the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed by the General Partner and in the same proportion as shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are redeemed by the General Partner so that the number of Series E Preferred Units remaining unredeemed shall be the same as, and at all times equal to, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock remaining unredeemed. The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the General Partner prior to April 7, 2010, and, therefore, the Series E Preferred Units shall not be redeemable by the Partnership prior to such date. (b) Upon redemption of the Series E Preferred Units by the Partnership on the date specified in the notice to holders required under subparagraph (d) of this Section 3.4 (the "CALL DATE"), each Series E Preferred Unit called for redemption shall be redeemed in cash at a price per unit equal to $2,500.00 per unit, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the Call Date, without interest, to the extent that the Partnership has funds legally available therefor. The redemption price of the Series E Preferred Units may be paid from any source. Distributions payable on the Series E Preferred Units for any period greater or less than a full dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. (c) If full cumulative distributions on the Series E Preferred Units and any other class or series of Parity Units have not been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, the Series E Preferred Units may not be redeemed in part and the Partnership may not purchase or acquire Series E Preferred Units, otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Series E Preferred Units. (d) If the Partnership shall redeem Series E Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 3.4, notice of such redemption shall be given to the record holders of the Series E Preferred Units called for redemption as soon as practicable after notice of redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock is given by the General Partner. - 5 - From and after the Call Date (unless the Partnership shall fail to make available the amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, distributions on the Series E Preferred Units so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, (ii) such units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series E Preferred Units shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates). As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of the certificates for any such units so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Partnership shall so require and if the notice shall so state), such units shall be exchanged for cash (without interest thereon) for which such units have been redeemed. If fewer than all the outstanding Series E Preferred Units are to be redeemed, units to be redeemed shall be selected by the Partnership from outstanding Series E Preferred Units not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly as may be) or by any other method determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all the Series E Preferred Units represented by any certificate are redeemed, then new certificates representing the unredeemed units shall be issued without cost to the holder thereof. 3.5 CONVERSION. Holders of Series E Preferred Units shall have no conversion rights. 3.6 RANKING. Any class or series of units of the Partnership shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions 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 distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Series E Preferred Units; (b) on a parity with the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the distribution rates, distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per unit thereof are different from those of the Series E Preferred Units, if the holders of such class of units or series and the Series E Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid distributions per unit or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("PARITY UNITS"); the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units and the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units shall be Parity Units with respect to the Series E Preferred Units; and (c) junior to the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such units or series shall be Common Units or if the holders of the Series E Preferred Units shall be - 6 - entitled to receipt of distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of such units or series ("JUNIOR UNITS"). 3.7 RECORD HOLDERS. The Partnership may deem and treat the record holder of any Series E Preferred Units as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Partnership shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS - 7 - IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Partnership has caused this Addendum to be executed by its General Partner, acting through its duly authorized officer, as of this 7th day of April 2005.
