Any change in the foregoing status of the Participant shall terminate this Agreement, and the Participant shall give prompt notice to the Distributor and the Transfer Agent of such change. Transfers of securities settling through Euroclear or other foreign depositories may require Participant access to such facilities. The Participant further represents that it is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or is exempt from or otherwise not required to be licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA. The Participant is qualified, registered and/or licensed to act as a broker or dealer, or is otherwise exempt, as required according to all applicable laws of the state(s) in which the Participant conducts its activities as defined hereunder. The Participant is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Participant agrees to conform to the rules of FINRA (if it is a member of FINRA) and the securities laws of any jurisdiction to the extent such laws, rules and regulations relate to the Participant’s transactions in, and activities with respect to, the Shares.
Election to Participate Within 15 business days after delivery of the Participation Notice, each Capital Partner desiring to accept the offer pursuant to Section 6.2.2 shall send an irrevocable commitment (each a “Participation Commitment”) to the Partnership specifying the amount or proportion of Securities which such Capital Partner desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”). The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided and so long as the terms and conditions applicable to the Pre-Emptive Issuance remain as stated in the Participation Notice, each such Participating Buyer shall be obligated to acquire in the Pre-Emptive Issuance on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Security issued, as the Pre-Emptive Transferees such amount or proportion of Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s Participation Commitment. Each Capital Partner that does not accept such offer shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights under this Article VI with respect to the Pre-Emptive Issuance specified in the Participation Notice, and the Partnership shall thereafter be free to issue Securities in such Pre-Emptive Issuance to the Pre-Emptive Transferees and any Participating Buyers, at a price not less than the price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other terms not materially more favorable in the aggregate, to the Pre-Emptive Transferees and any Participating Buyers than those set forth in the Participation Notice. If the principal terms of such proposed Pre-Emptive Issuance change such that they are more materially favorable in the aggregate to the Participating Buyers than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Article VI separately complied with, in order to consummate such Pre-Emptive Issuance. In the event a Capital Partner breaches its obligation to purchase such Securities after delivering a Participating Commitment, such Capital Partner shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights under this Article VI with respect to such Pre-Emptive Issuance and all future Pre-Emptive Issuances.
Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be Participants of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Restricted Stock Units, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 (Termination of Employment) of the Agreement, any unvested Restricted Stock Units as of the date the Participant ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of employment or service. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination on the Restricted Stock Units.

To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by the Company), the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

If, pursuant to the Election Form, Contributor (A) elected all or part of Contributor’s consideration payable hereunder to be in the form of units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) and (B) submitted to the Operating Partnership (x) an executed Investor Questionnaire representing and warranting to the Operating Partnership that Contributor is an “accredited investor” as defined in the Investor Questionnaire and (y) any other documentation required by the Operating Partnership, including, but not limited to, a signature page to the Partnership Agreement (as hereinafter defined), Contributor shall receive OP Units in an amount determined in the manner described on Exhibit A hereto. The portion of the Consideration, if any, payable in cash is set forth on Exhibit A. Contributor agrees that the cash payment shall be made and the OP Units shall be registered in the name of the persons or entities set forth on the Election Form. OP Units will only be delivered to Contributor if Contributor has represented to the Operating Partnership that Contributor is an “accredited investor”. No fractional OP Units will be issued and OP Units will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Consideration payable to Contributor, whether in cash, in OP Units or a combination thereof, may be reduced by the amount the Operating Partnership reasonably determines must be withheld for tax purposes.
