Restrictions"), shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall
acquire no right or interest in such shares of Equity Stock; and
WHEREAS, the New Charters will each provide that any shares of any class or
series of Equity Stock of Realty or Operating Company that are Transferred to a
Person in excess of the Ownership Limit or in violation of any of the Transfer
Restrictions shall, subject to certain provisions of the New Charters, be
automatically converted into an equal number of shares of excess stock, par
value $.01 per share ("Excess Stock"), of Realty or Operating Company, as
the case may be, and shall be simultaneously transferred to a trust (a "Trust")
and registered in the name of a trustee (a "Trustee") and that such Trust and
Trustee shall be designated by Realty and Operating Company in accordance with
the Pairing Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the New Charters will each provide that all shares of Excess Stock
of Realty and Operating Company shall be held in a Trust for the exclusive
benefit of a beneficiary (a "Beneficiary") and that such Beneficiary shall be
designated by Realty and Operating Company pursuant to the terms of the Pairing
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in compliance with Section 9 of the Pairing
Agreement, Realty and Operating desire to amend the Pairing Agreement to provide
for the coordination of any exemption from the Ownership Limit, the designation
of a Trustee and a Beneficiary and for the termination of the Ownership Limit
and the Transfer Restrictions as set forth in this Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein
and in the Pairing Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Section 6 of the Pairing Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
shall be replaced with the following:
"6. Shares in Excess of the Ownership Limit or in Violation of the
Transfer Restrictions; Designation of Trustee and Beneficiaries. Until such
time as the Board of Directors of Realty determine that it is no longer in
the best interest of Realty to attempt to, or continue to, qualify under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as a real
estate investment trust (a "REIT"):
(a) Upon the conversion of a share of any class or series of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, or preferred stock, par value $.01
per share (collectively, "Equity Stock"), of Realty into a share of
excess stock, par value $.01 per share ("Excess Stock"), of Realty in
accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of Realty (the "Realty Charter"), if such share of
Equity Stock was paired prior to its conversion into Excess Stock, the
corresponding paired share of that same class or series of Equity
Stock of Operating Company shall be simultaneously converted into a
share of Excess Stock of Operating Company; such shares of Excess
Stock of Realty and Operating Company shall be paired and shall be
simultaneously transferred to a trust established by Realty and
Operating Company for such purpose (a "Trust").
(b) Upon the conversion of a share of any class or series of Equity
Stock of Operating Company into a share of Excess Stock of Operating
Company in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of Operating Company (the "Operating
Company Charter"), if such share of Equity Stock was paired prior to
its conversion into Excess Stock,
the corresponding paired share of that same class or series of Equity Stock of
Realty shall be simultaneously converted into a share of Excess Stock of Realty;
such shares of Excess Stock of Realty and Operating Company shall be paired and
shall be simultaneously transferred to a Trust.
(c) Upon the conversion of a share of Excess Stock of Realty into a share of
Equity Stock of Realty of the same class or series from which such Excess Stock
was converted in accordance with the provisions of the Realty Charter, if such
share of Excess Stock was paired prior to its conversion from Equity Stock into
Excess Stock, the corresponding paired share of Excess Stock of Operating
Company shall be simultaneously converted into a share of Equity Stock of
Operating Company of the same class or series from which such Excess Stock was
converted and such shares of Equity Stock shall be paired.
(d) Upon the conversion of a share of Excess Stock of Operating Company into a
share of Equity Stock of Operating Company of the same class or series from
which such Excess Stock was converted in accordance with the provisions of the
Operating Company Charter, if such share of Excess Stock was paired prior to its
conversion from Equity Stock into Excess Stock, the corresponding paired share
of Excess Stock of Realty shall be simultaneously converted into a share of
Equity Stock of Realty of the same class or series from which such Excess Stock
was converted and such shares of Equity stock shall be paired.
(e) With respect to an offer made by the Trust to Realty or Operating Company
to purchase shares of Excess Stock from a Trust pursuant to the Realty Charter
or the Operating Company Charter (together, the "New Charters"), as the case may
be, in the case of shares of Excess Stock that are paired, neither Realty nor
Operating Company shall accept such offer with respect to its shares of Excess
Stock without the agreement of the other company to accept such offer with
respect to the corresponding paired shares of its Excess Stock.
(f) The Trustee (as defined in the New Charters) of each Trust shall be
designated by mutual agreement of the Board of Directors of Realty and the Board
of Directors of Operating Company.
(g) The Beneficiary (as defined in the New Charters) with respect to each Trust
shall be designated by mutual agreement of the Board of Directors of Realty and
the Board of Directors of Operating Company.
(h) At such time that the Board of Directors of Realty no longer deems it in
the best interests of Realty to attempt to, or continue to, qualify under the
Code as a REIT, it shall notify the Board of Directors of Operating Company in
writing of such determination and the Ownership Limit and the Transfer
Restrictions shall cease to have effect, as provided in Section C of Article IV
of
the New Charters."
2. Section 10 is hereby added to the Pairing Agreement and shall read in
its entirety as follows:
"10. Exemption from the Ownership Limit. Operating Company agrees
that it shall not exempt any Person (as defined in the New Charters) from
the Ownership Limit (as defined in the New Charters) pursuant to Section C
of Article IV of the New Charters without the prior written consent of
Realty, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld."
3. This Amendment shall become effective as of the Effective Time of the
Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
4. Subject to the Amendment set forth herein, the Pairing Agreement shall
continue to be in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as
of the day and year first above written.
