Board Nominees (1) So long as Second City, together with its Controlled Entities, owns (a) thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have the right from time to time to designate individuals for nomination for election by the stockholders to the board of directors of the General Partner, such that the number of directors serving (or who would serve upon election), and who are or had been designated for nomination or nominated to serve by Second City, shall equal (i) if the number of directors comprising the entire board of directors of the General Partner is six or more, two; or (ii) if the number of directors comprising the entire board of directors of the General Partner is five or fewer, one; or (b) less than thirty percent (30%) but at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have the right from time to time to designate individuals for nomination for election by the stockholders to the board of directors of the General Partner, such that the number of directors serving (or who would serve upon election), and who are or had been designated for nomination or nominated to serve by Second City, shall equal one. If Second City, together with its Controlled Entities, owns less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding REIT Shares (assuming all outstanding Partnership Common Units not held by the General Partner or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that owns Partnership Common Units are tendered for Redemption and exchanged for REIT Shares, regardless of whether such Partnership Common Units are then eligible for Redemption), Second City shall have no right under this Section 8.8 to designate for nomination any individual to serve on the board of directors of the General Partner. The General Partner, acting through its Board of Directors, will recommend and use all commercially reasonable good faith efforts to cause the election of each Second City Nominee designated in accordance with the foregoing. The General Partner agrees to use all reasonable efforts to solicit proxies for such Second City Nominees from all holders of REIT Shares and/or other voting stock entitled to vote thereon.
