Subject to certain exceptions, no Person may, (1) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Trust or (2) Beneficially Own Equity Stock that would result in the Trust’s being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Trust. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Declaration, as the same may be further amended from time to time, a copy of which including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, the shares of Equity Stock represented hereby will be automatically converted for shares of Excess Stock which will be held in trust by the Trust.
