In addition, the Series B Preferred Units may be exchanged for Gables Trust Series B Preferred Shares, in whole but not in part at the option of the holders of 51% of all outstanding Series B Preferred Units after November 15, 2001 and prior to November 15, 2008 if such holders of Series B Preferred Units deliver to the General Partner either (A) a private letter ruling addressed to such holder of Series B Preferred Units or (B) an opinion of independent counsel based on the enactment of temporary or final Treasury Regulations or the publication of a Revenue Ruling, in either case to the effect that such exchange of the Series B Preferred Units at such earlier time would not cause the Series B Preferred Units to be considered "stock and securities" within the meaning of Section 351(e) of the Code for purposes of determining whether the holder of such Series B Preferred Units is an "investment company" under Section 721(b) of the Code if an exchange is permitted at such earlier date. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Units, if Contributor so determines, may be exchanged in whole but not in part (regardless of whether held by Contributor) for Gables Trust Series B Preferred Shares if Contributor concludes based on results or projected results that there exists (in the reasonable judgment of Contributor) an imminent and substantial risk that the Contributor's interest in the Partnership represents or will exceed the 19.5% Limit.

Series B Preferred Units shall be deemed canceled (and any corresponding Partnership Interest represented thereby deemed terminated) simultaneously with the delivery of shares of Gables Trust Series B Preferred Shares (with respect to Series B Preferred Units exchanged) or simultaneously with the redemption date (with respect to Series B Preferred Units redeemed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all Series B Preferred Units to be exchanged for Gables Trust Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 shall be so exchanged in a single transaction at one time. As a condition to exchange, the Gables Trust may require the holders of Series B Preferred Units to make such representations as may be reasonably necessary for the Gables Trust to establish that the issuance of Gables Trust Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to the exchange shall not be required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws. Any Gables Trust Series B Preferred Shares issued pursuant to this Section 8 shall be delivered as shares which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction other than those provided in the Declaration of Trust, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky laws.
