INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The Domestication and Mergers

As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2022, Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“FWAC”), entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2023 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FWAC, Queen Merger Corp. I, a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FWAC (“Merger Sub”), and Mobile Infrastructure Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“MIC”).

On August 25, 2023, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Proposal 2—The Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 163 of the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated July 11, 2023 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), FWAC filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed Articles of Incorporation and Articles of Conversion with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, pursuant to which FWAC was domesticated and converted to a Maryland corporation, and is referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) as “New MIC” or the “Company” (the “Domestication”).

In connection with the Domestication, (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of FWAC (“FWAC Class A Shares”) converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New MIC (the “New MIC Common Stock”); and (b) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of FWAC (“FWAC Class B Shares”) converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of New MIC Common Stock.

On August 25, 2023, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “The Merger—The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 222 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, following the Domestication: (a) Merger Sub merged with and into MIC (the “First Merger”) with MIC continuing as the surviving entity (the “First-Step Surviving Company” and the time the First Merger became effective being referred to as the “First Effective Time”), and (b) immediately following the First Effective Time, the First-Step Surviving Company merged with and into New MIC in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with New MIC continuing as the surviving entity resulting from the Second Merger. The closing of the Merger is referred to herein as the “Closing” and the date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” In connection with the Second Merger, FWAC changed its name to “Mobile Infrastructure Corporation.”

In connection with the Merger, among other things: (a) each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of MIC (“MIC Common Stock”) (excluding shares owned by MIC and any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Mobile Company”)) converted into the right to receive such number of shares of New MIC Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 1.5 to 1 for an aggregate of 11,632,040 shares of New MIC Common Stock and (b) each issued and outstanding share of Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of MIC (the “MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock”) and Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of MIC (the “MIC Series A Preferred Stock”) converted into the right to receive one share of Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New MIC (the “New MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock”) or one share of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New MIC (the “New MIC Series A Preferred Stock” and, together with the New MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock, the “New MIC Preferred Stock”), as applicable, having terms materially the same as the applicable MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock or MIC Series A Preferred Stock, except that the shares of New MIC Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of New MIC Common Stock instead of shares of MIC Common Stock. Each share of New MIC Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number of shares of New MIC Common Stock determined by a formula to be applied at the time of conversion, which formula was described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each outstanding share of MIC Common Stock that was held by any Mobile Company was cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and no Mobile Company was entitled to any consideration by virtue of the Merger. In addition, upon the First Merger Effective Time, the outstanding and unexercised warrant to purchase 1,702,128 shares of MIC Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.75 per share

 

2


(the “MIC Common Stock Warrant”) became a warrant (the “New MIC Warrant”) to purchase 2,553,192 shares of New MIC Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.83 per share. The sole holder of the New MIC Warrant is Color Up, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Color Up”).

In connection with the Merger, Mobile Infra Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), converted (the “Conversion”) from a Maryland limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company, Mobile Infra Operating Company, LLC (following the Conversion, the “Operating Company”). In connection with the Conversion, each outstanding unit of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into an equal number of identical membership units of the Operating Company. Following the Conversion, the classes of partnership units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Common Units,” “Class A Units,” “LTIP Units” and “Performance Units” became classes of membership units of the Operating Company. The Conversion was consummated prior to the First Effective Time and at or about the time of the Domestication. MIC was the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, prior to the Conversion, owned substantially all of its assets and conducted substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. Following the Conversion, New MIC is a member of the Operating Company. New MIC owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Company. Immediately following the Conversion, New MIC owns approximately 52.05% of the Common Units. The Operating Company will be managed by a board of directors consisting of two board members—one individual appointed by New MIC who shall be entitled to two votes on every matter submitted to a vote of the board of directors of the Operating Company and one individual appointed by the non-New MIC members of the Operating Company who shall be entitled to one vote on every matter submitted to a vote of the board of directors of the Operating Company. The two directors of the Operating Company as of the date of this Report are Manuel Chavez, III and Stephanie Hogue.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.

The described amounts are subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting the Series 2 Preferred Stock, as set forth in New MIC Charter (as defined below).

The holders of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends (the “Dividends”) at a cumulative annual rate of 10% during the period between the initial issuance of such shares and the conversion thereof into shares of New MIC Common Stock; provided that if the date of the distribution occurs prior to the first anniversary of the original date of issuance of such share, the holder of such share of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall receive Dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10% of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference for a period of one year, which will be paid in full on the conversion date. Dividends will be paid in kind and also convert into shares of New MIC Common Stock.

The Subscription Agreements provide that the shares of New MIC Common Stock issued to the Preferred PIPE Investors upon the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock (including the conversion of Dividends) will be subject to a one-year lock-up. A description of the Subscription Agreements is included in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “The Merger—The Merger Agreement—PIPE Investment” beginning on page 223 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock issued to the Preferred PIPE Investors were issued in a private placement transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Report, including statements incorporated by reference, may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events, or developments that the Company expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements related to plans, strategies, and objectives of management, the Company’s business prospects, future profitability, and the Company’s competitive position, are forward-looking statements. The words “will,” “may,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “thinks,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and speak only as of the date hereof. The inclusion of any statement in this Report does not constitute an admission by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. In addition, new risks may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict such risks or to assess the impact of such risks on the Company’s business or financial results. Accordingly, future results may differ materially from historical results or from those discussed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, the reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

   

the Company’s ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination;

 

   

increased fuel prices may adversely affect the Company’s operating environment and costs;

 

   

the Company has a limited operating history which makes its future performance difficult to predict;

 

   

MIC incurred net losses attributable to MIC common stockholders of $11.1 million and $14.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.7 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the Company may experience additional net losses in the future;

 

   

the Company will need to improve cash flow from operations to avoid a future liquidity event;

 

   

the Company depends on its management team and the loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to conduct and manage its business;

 

   

a material failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security failure of the Company’s technology networks and related systems could harm the Company’s business;

 

   

the Company’s executive officers and certain of the Company’s directors face or may face conflicts of interest related to their positions and interests in affiliates of the Company, which could hinder the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy and generate returns to investors;

 

   

estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which the Company competes achieves the forecasted growth, the Company’s business could fail to grow at a similar rate, if at all;

 

   

MIC’s revenues had been and the Company’s revenues will continue to be significantly influenced by demand for parking facilities generally, and a decrease in such demand would likely have a greater adverse effect on the Company’s revenues than if it owned a more diversified real estate portfolio;

 

   

the Company may be unable to attain its investment strategy or increase the value of its portfolio;

 

   

the Company may be unable to grow its business by acquisitions of additional parking facilities;

 

 

8


   

the Company’s parking facilities face intense competition, which may adversely affect rental and fee income;

 

   

the Company may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. The Company cannot assure investors that it will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements;

 

   

the Company requires scale to improve cash flow and earnings for investors;

 

   

changing consumer preferences and legislation affecting the Company’s industry or related industries may lead to a decline in parking demand, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations;

 

   

the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy the Company’s debt service obligations, and its duration and ultimate lasting impact is unknown;

 

   

the Company’s investments in real estate will be subject to the risks typically associated with investing in real estate;

 

   

uninsured losses or premiums for insurance coverage relating to real property may adversely affect the Company’s investor returns;

 

   

the Company’s material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect the Company’s ability to report its results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner;

 

   

the Company may not be able to access financing sources on attractive terms, or at all, which could adversely affect its ability to execute its business plan;

 

   

the Company may not obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms and, as a result, the Company’s business and its ability to operate could be materially adversely impacted;

 

   

instability in the debt markets and other factors may make it more difficult for the Company to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties the Company can acquire and the amount of cash distributions the Company can make to its investors;

 

   

increasing interest rates may adversely affect the Company;

 

   

the Company identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

 

   

adverse judgments, settlements, or investigations resulting from legal proceedings in which the Company may be involved could reduce its profits, limit its ability to operate its business or distract its officers from attending to its business;

 

   

holders of outstanding New MIC Preferred Stock and Series 2 Preferred Stock have dividend, liquidation, and other rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of New MIC Common Stock; and

 

   

The Preferred PIPE Investment is structured as an issuance of preferred stock, which may be viewed as less favorable to New MIC and the holders of its shares than other forms of financing and may expose holders of shares of New MIC Common Stock to additional dilution following the closing of the Merger, any of which could cause investors to lose some or all of their investment.

The Company’s business and properties are described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Description of MIC’s Businesses” beginning on page 310, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Risk Factors

A summary of the risks associated with the Company’s business is included on pages 69-70 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the heading “Summary Risk Factors” and is incorporated herein by reference, except that the first paragraph of subsection titled “Risks Related to Financial, Tax and Accounting Issues” is amended and restated as follows:

 

   

The Company identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The risks associated with the Company’s business are described in detail in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 82 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference, except that the risk factors set forth below are amended and restated in their entirety.

The disclosure on the third through sixth paragraphs on page 94 and the first paragraph on page 95 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “Risks Related to Financial, Tax and Accounting Issues” is amended and restated as follows:

The Company identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

MIC’s financial statements included elsewhere in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. MIC’s independent auditor included an explanatory paragraph regarding MIC’s ability to continue as a “going concern” in its report on MIC’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to MIC’s inability to comply with a financial covenant under its Credit Agreement. Subsequently, MIC entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement, which resulted in a waiver of all existing events of default, the payment by the Company, as successor to MIC, or Borrower of $15 million of the proceeds from the Preferred PIPE Investment at the Closing to pay down outstanding borrowing, the decrease of available credit from $75 million to $58.7 million and certain modifications to the financial covenants.

In addition, MIC has experienced net losses since inception and may continue to experience additional losses. Likewise, there can be no assurance of the absence of future defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreement. Moreover, immediately prior to the Merger, MIC had approximately $90 million of debt which matures within the next twelve months. The Company does not currently have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay the maturing debt as it comes due. Furthermore, additional conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may transpire in the future.

As a result, the Company may not have sufficient capital as and when needed, which may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial conditions, and results of operations and may cause the Company to significantly modify its operational plans to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Company’s lack of cash resources and its potential inability to continue as a going

concern may materially adversely affect the Company’s share price and the Company’s ability to raise or access new capital, enter into critical contractual relations with third parties, and otherwise execute its development strategy.

To increase the available cash resources, management’s plans include capitalizing on recent business development initiatives that the Company anticipates will improve total revenues through increased utilization of parking assets and in many cases at higher average ticket rates and budgeting reduced overhead costs in 2023 through the reduction or elimination of certain controllable expenses. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing any of these options.

The disclosure on the second through fifth paragraphs on page 95 and the first through third paragraphs on page 96 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “Risks Related to Financial, Tax and Accounting Issues” is amended and restated as follows:

MIC previously identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, and the Company may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of the Company’s financial statements or cause the Company to fail to meet its periodic reporting obligations. These material weaknesses could adversely affect the Company’s ability to report its results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

MIC’s management identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in connection with its assessment as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Such material weakness was carried over to the Company, as MIC’s successor. Specifically, these control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to: (a) MIC’s lack of appropriate segregation of duties within its accounting and finance groups; (b) the lack of formal and effective controls over user access to certain information systems to ensure adequate restriction of users and privileged access to transaction processing applications; and (c) inappropriate application of GAAP.

Although MIC had begun to implement measures to address the material weaknesses, the implementation of those measures did not fully address the material weaknesses and deficiencies in MIC’s internal control over financial reporting, and, as of June 30, 2023, MIC could not conclude that these matters have been fully remedied. The following remedial actions had been identified and initiated by MIC:

 

   

MIC hired and trained additional accounting resources with appropriate levels of experience and reallocating responsibilities across MIC’s finance organization. This measure provides for the segregation of duties and ensures that the appropriate level of knowledge and experience will be applied based on the risk and complexity of transactions and tasks under review.

 

   

MIC did and the Company expects to continue to educate control owners and enhance policies to ensure appropriate restrictions related to user access and privileged access are in place.

 

   

MIC re-evaluated the permissions of user roles within its accounting system and re-assigned access to individuals in order to establish a more appropriate segregation of duties.

 

   

MIC enhanced internal control documentation for key controls to ensure the assignment of preparers and reviewers, and established policies for the formal sign-off of key controls.

 

11


   

Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, MIC established a formal Disclosure Committee to enhance governance by management for the oversight of internal controls over financial reporting, including disclosure controls and procedures.

 

   

MIC provided access to accounting literature and research to enable the control owners in evaluating technical accounting pronouncements for certain transactions, in addition to utilizing third-party resources when appropriate.

 

   

Through its continued remediation efforts, MIC identified and recorded certain accounting adjustments during the third and fourth quarters of 2022 that were considered immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to MIC’s consolidated financial statements taken as a whole for the affected periods. The Company’s continued remediation activities will include the designing of internal control policies and practices that directly respond to these accounting adjustments.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to timely and seamlessly proceed with the remediation measures to address the material weaknesses identified above and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting.

Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact the Company’s ability to report its financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis. If the Company’s financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of its operations. Likewise, if the Company’s financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, the Company could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NYSE, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Additionally, failure to timely file required Exchange Act reports will cause the Company to be ineligible to utilize short-form registration statements on Form S-3, which may impair the Company’s ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares of common stock to effect an acquisition. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the Company’s stock and may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company can give no assurance that any additional material weaknesses or resulting restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if the Company is successful in strengthening its controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements.

The disclosure on the first and second paragraphs on page 100 and the first and second paragraphs on page 101 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “Risks Related to MIC’s Indebtedness and Certain Other Obligations” is amended and restated as follows:

We have debt, and we may incur additional debt.

The Company is subject to numerous risks associated with the Company’s debt, including the risk that the Company’s cash flows could be insufficient to meet the required payments on its debt. There are no limits in the Company’s organizational documents on the amount of debt it may incur, and the Company may incur substantial debt. The Company’s debt obligations could have important consequences for its investors. Incurrence of debt may increase its vulnerability to adverse economic, market, and industry conditions, limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business, and place the Company at a disadvantage in relation to competitors that have lower debt levels. Excessive debt could limit the Company’s ability to obtain financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, refinancing, lease obligations, or other purposes, prevent it from achieving investment grade ratings from nationally recognized credit rating agencies, and reduce its ability to make distributions to our investors.

 

12


For example, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions to borrowing, covenants, and events of default, including certain covenants that limit or restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company, the Operating Company, and the Company’s other subsidiaries to sell or transfer assets, enter into a merger or consolidate with another company, create liens, make investments or acquisitions or incur certain indebtedness. Among other things, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain:

 

   

a total leverage ratio not to exceed 65%;

 

   

an interest reserve in an amount equal to $375,000, subject to adjustment;

 

   

an aggregate of $7,000,000 in unencumbered cash, unencumbered cash equivalents, and amounts on deposit in an account containing cash collateral to be used for interest payments;

 

   

a borrowing base interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.00; and

 

   

a tangible net worth of not less than $206,908,200 plus 90% of the net proceeds received by the Company or the Operating Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries at any time from the issuance of stock (whether common, preferred, or otherwise) by the Company, the Operating Company, or certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries.

On August 25, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023. Deloitte served as the independent registered public accounting firm of MIC prior to the Merger. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), FWAC’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Merger, was informed as of the Closing Date that it would be dismissed and replaced by Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Withum’s report on FWAC’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2022, and the subsequent period through August 25, 2023, there were no: (a) disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (b) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, except for the control deficiency disclosed as a material weakness in FWAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the disclosures made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Withum is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

During the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2022, and the subsequent period through August 25, 2023, the Company did not consult Deloitte with respect to either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Deloitte that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that

(a) Basic Restrictions.

(i) (1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder or an Existing Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, (2) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder or an Existing Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation, including Common Stock and Preferred Stock, in excess of the Ownership Limit, (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder, and (4) no Existing Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Existing Holder Limit for such Existing Holder.

(ii) Except with respect to any shares of Capital Stock Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by an Existing Holder as of the Initial Date, no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Capital Stock would result in the Corporation being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, without limitation, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership that would result in the Corporation owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).

(iii) Any Transfer of shares of Capital Stock that, if effective, would result in the Capital Stock being beneficially owned by less than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.

(b) Transfer in Trust. If any Transfer of shares of Capital Stock occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning shares of Capital Stock in violation of Section 7.2.1(a)(i) or (ii),

(i) then that number of shares of the Capital Stock the Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 7.2.1(a)(i) or (ii) (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 7.3, effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such shares; or

 

9


(ii) if the transfer to the Trust described in clause (i) of this sentence would not be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 7.2.1(a)(i) or (ii), then the Transfer of that number of shares of Capital Stock that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 7.2.1(a)(i) or (ii) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.

(iii) To the extent that, upon a transfer of shares of Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 7.2.1(b), a violation of any provision of this Article VII would nonetheless be continuing (for example where the ownership of shares of Capital Stock by a single Trust would violate the 100 stockholder requirement applicable to REITs), then shares of Capital Stock shall be transferred to that number of Trusts, each having a distinct Trustee and a Charitable Beneficiary or Charitable Beneficiaries that are distinct from those of each other Trust, such that there is no violation of any provision of this Article VII.

Section 7.2.2 Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors shall at any time determine that a Transfer or other event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 7.2.1 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any shares of Capital Stock in violation of Section 7.2.1 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the Corporation to redeem shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event; provided, however, that any Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event in violation of Section 7.2.1 shall automatically result in the transfer to the Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors.

Section 7.2.3 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock that will or may violate Section 7.2.1(a) or any Person who would have owned shares of Capital Stock that resulted in a transfer to the Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2.1(b) shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event or, in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice, and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer on the Corporation’s prospective or ongoing status as a REIT.

 

10


Section 7.2.4 Owners Required To Provide Information. From the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:

(a) every owner of five percent or more (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such owner, the number of shares of Capital Stock Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such shares are held. Each such owner shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation’s prospective or ongoing status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Ownership Limit; and

(b) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Capital Stock and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding Capital Stock for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation may request, in order to determine the Corporation’s prospective or ongoing status as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

Section 7.2.5 Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Section 5.5 of the Charter, nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation in preserving the Corporation’s prospective or ongoing status as a REIT.

Section 7.2.6 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 or any definition contained in Section 7.1, the Board of Directors may determine the application of the provisions of this Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 or any such definition with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Charter fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors may determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors, if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 7.2.2) acquired Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Capital Stock in violation of Section 7.2.1, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the shares of Capital Stock which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such shares of Capital Stock based upon the relative number of the shares of Capital Stock held by each such Person.

Section 7.2.7 Exceptions.

(a) Subject to Section 7.2.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if:

(i) the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary for the Board to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of such shares of Capital Stock will violate Section 7.2.1(a)(ii);

 

11


(ii) such Person does not and represents that it will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the Corporation (or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a tenant from whom the Corporation (or an entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that rent from such tenant would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify as a REIT shall not be treated as a tenant of the Corporation); and

(iii) such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.6) will result in such shares of Capital Stock being automatically transferred to a Trust in accordance with Sections 7.2.1(b) and 7.3.

(b) Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 7.2.7(a), the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.

(c) Subject to Section 7.2.1(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a public offering, forward sale or a private placement of Capital Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock) in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, the Ownership Limit, or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering, forward sale or private placement.

(d) The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder: (1) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, (2) unless the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder provide otherwise, at any time after the Excepted Holder no longer Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit or (3) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Ownership Limit or the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit.

(e) The Board of Directors is hereby expressly vested with the full power and authority to reduce the Existing Holder Limit as in effect from time to time on and after the date hereof for an Existing Holder. No such reduction shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment of the Charter, and shall take effect automatically without any action on the part of any stockholder as of the date specified by the Board of Directors that is subsequent to the Board

 

12


resolution approving and effecting such reduction. An Existing Holder shall not be deemed to have violated either the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit or the Ownership Limit, as applicable, until such time as such Existing Holder’s percentage of ownership of Capital Stock, having fallen below the Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, as applicable, again exceeds the Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, as applicable.

Section 7.2.8 Increase or Decrease in Ownership or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limits. Subject to Section 7.2.1(a)(ii) and this Section 7.2.8, the Board of Directors may from time to time following the Initial Date increase or decrease the Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and increase or decrease the Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit for all other Persons. No decreased Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit will be effective for any Person whose percentage of ownership of Capital Stock is in excess of such decreased Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, as applicable, until such time as such Person’s percentage of ownership of Capital Stock equals or falls below the decreased Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, as applicable; provided, however, any further acquisition of Capital Stock by any such Person (other than a Person for whom an exemption has been granted pursuant to Section 7.2.7(a) or an Excepted Holder) in excess of the Capital Stock owned by such person on the date the decreased Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, as applicable, became effective will be in violation of the Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit. No increase to the Ownership Limit or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit may be approved if, following the Initial Date, the new Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit would allow five or fewer Individuals to Beneficially Own, in the aggregate more than 49.9% in value of the outstanding Capital Stock or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT. Prior to increasing or decreasing the Ownership Limit or the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit pursuant to this Section 7.2.8, the Board of Directors may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s qualification as a REIT.

Section 7.2.9 Legend. Each certificate for shares of Capital Stock, if certificated, shall bear substantially the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s prospective or ongoing status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable) or an Existing Holder (in which case the Existing Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation in excess of the Aggregate Stock

 

13


Ownership Limit, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable) or an Existing Holder (in which case the Existing Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns or attempts or intends to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock which cause or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership provided in (i), (ii) or (iii) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may redeem shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, if the ownership restrictions provided in (iv) above would be violated or upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office.

Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate or any notice in lieu of a certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of the shares to a stockholder on request and without charge.

Section 7.3 Transfer of Capital Stock in Trust.

Section 7.3.1 Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 7.2.1(b) that would result in a transfer of shares of Capital Stock to a Trust, such shares of Capital Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the Trust pursuant to Section 7.2.1(b). The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the Corporation and any Prohibited Owner. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Corporation as provided in Section 7.3.6.

 

14


Section 7.3.2 Status of Shares Held by the Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation. The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the shares held by the Trustee. The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends or other distributions and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust.

Section 7.3.3 Dividend and Voting Rights. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or other distribution to the Trustee upon demand and any dividend or other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Trustee. Any dividend or other distribution so paid to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust and, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee shall have the authority (at the Trustee’s sole and absolute discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trust and (ii) to recast such vote; provided, however, that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII, until the Corporation has received notification that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred into a Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its stock transfer and other stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes and determining the other rights of stockholders.

Section 7.3.4 Sale of Shares by Trustee. Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 7.2.1(a). Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 7.3.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the shares or, if the Prohibited Owner did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust (e.g., in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust. The Trustee may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed

 

15


by the Prohibited Owner to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.3.3 of this Article VII. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, such shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 7.3.4, such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

Section 7.3.5 Purchase Right in Stock Transferred to the Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and distributions which has been paid to the Prohibited Owner and is owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.3.3 of this Article VII. The Corporation may pay the amount of such reduction to the Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the shares held in the Trust pursuant to Section 7.3.4. Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner.

Section 7.3.6 Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary or Charitable Beneficiaries of the interest in the Trust such that (i) the shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 7.2.1(a) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary or Charitable Beneficiaries and (ii) each such organization must be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and contributions to each such organization must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code. Neither the failure of the Corporation to make such designation nor the failure of the Corporation to appoint the Trustee before the automatic transfer provided in Section 7.2.1(b) shall make such transfer ineffective, provided that the Corporation thereafter makes such designation and appointment.

Section 7.4 Nasdaq Transactions. Nothing in this Article VII shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article VII and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article VII.

Section 7.5 Enforcement. The Corporation is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VII.

 

16


Section 7.6 Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

ARTICLE VIII

All rights and powers conferred by the Charter on stockholders, directors and officers are granted subject to this reservation. Except for those amendments permitted to be made without stockholder approval under Maryland law or by specific provision in the Charter, any amendment to the Charter shall be valid only if declared advisable by the Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

The indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses provided in the Charter shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses may be or may become entitled under any bylaw, resolution, insurance or agreement or otherwise.

3. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (a) senior to all classes or series of Common Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation in preference or priority to the holders of such class or series (the “Junior Stock”); (b) on a parity with the Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Corporation and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that the holders of such class or series of stock and the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends and amounts distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation in proportion to their respective amounts of accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other (the “Parity Stock”); and (c) junior to any class or series of stock of the Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that the holders of such class or series are entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation in preference or priority to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Senior Stock”).

4. Dividends.

(a) Subject to the preferential rights of holders of any class or series of Senior Stock, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cash dividends at the rate of 5.75% per annum of the initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) (equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $57.50 per share); provided, however, that the annual dividend rate on each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be increased to 7.50% of the Stated Value (equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $75.00 per share) until the occurrence of a Listing Event, at which time, the dividend rate on each share of Series A Preferred Stock will revert automatically to 5.75% per annum of the Stated Value.

paid or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock with a Dividend Payment Date before the date such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on each share of Mobile Preferred Stock exchanged in the Merger for a share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for purposes of the Charter as if accrued by the Corporation with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock, including any unpaid dividends prior to the Original Issue Date and otherwise in accordance with this Section 4(a) (such amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, not including the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends paid in cash as part of the consideration paid in the Merger to the holder of such share of Mobile Preferred Stock for which the Series A Preferred Stock was exchanged, the “Mobile Preferred Accrual”). Any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends shall be payable in arrears to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date (the “Dividend Record Date”) 15 days preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date. The term “business day” shall mean any day, other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law to close, or a day which is or is declared a national or a New York state holiday.

(b) Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series A Preferred Stock. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable.

(c) No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual).

(d) When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series A Preferred Stock (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) or any other class or series of Parity Stock, or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, all dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Series A Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Parity Stock does not have a cumulative dividend).

(e) Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or are concurrently therewith, declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of Junior Stock or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property may be


declared and made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an equity incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation) for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of Junior Stock, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of holders of shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or other distribution on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock, or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring Junior Stock or Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, setting apart for payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to comply with the restrictions on transfer and ownership set forth in Article VII of the Charter.

5. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any shares of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation that are legally available for distribution to the stockholders, a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value per share (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to and including the date of payment (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual). Until the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the available assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the above described Liquidation Preference and the liquidating payments on any shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series A Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.


(b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, the holders of any classes or series of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive any and all assets of the Corporation remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

(c) The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other corporation, trust or entity with or into the Corporation, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Corporation or a statutory share exchange, shall not be deemed to constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. A Listing Event shall not be deemed to constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(d) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) shall not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities.

6. Conversion.

(a) Subject to the Corporation’s redemption rights set forth in Section 6(b), each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder thereof by written notice to the Corporation (each, a “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion Notice shall state: (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted; and (ii) that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be converted pursuant to the applicable terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each such share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) 100% of the Stated Value plus (B) any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Conversion Date (as defined below) (unless the Conversion Date is after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in such sum) by (ii) the conversion price of each share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price will be determined as follows:

i. Provided there has been a Listing Event, the Conversion Price for such share of Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to the VWAP per share of Common Stock of the Corporation (or its successor) for the 20 Trading Days prior to the delivery date of the Conversion Notice.


ii. If a Listing Event has not occurred, the Conversion Price for such share of Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to 100% of the Corporation’s net asset value per share of Common Stock (“NAV per share”), if then established, and until the Corporation establishes a NAV per share, the Conversion Price will be equal to $25.00, or the initial offering price per share of Common Stock in Mobile’s initial public offering.

A holder may elect to convert all or any portion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering a Conversion Notice stating its desire to convert such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Subject to the Corporation’s redemption rights set forth in Section 6(b) and Section 7, the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock subject to a Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Shares”) into Common Stock will occur at the end of the 20th Trading Day after the Corporation’s receipt of such Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Date”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a holder providing a Conversion Notice, the Corporation will have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Conversion Shares at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the Stated Value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (the “Redemption Price”).

The Corporation, in its discretion, may elect to redeem any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering a written notice of redemption to the holder thereof on or prior to 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the Conversion Date. If the Corporation elects to redeem such Conversion Shares, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price, without interest, to holder of the redeemed Conversion Shares promptly following the delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6, but, in any event, not later than the Conversion Date, which payment date shall also be the redemption date for purposes of this Section 6; provided, however, that if the Corporation exercises its redemption right pursuant to Section 7, such shares shall be redeemed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7. If a notice of redemption is not delivered by the Corporation by the 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the Conversion Date, the Conversion Shares shall thereafter convert into shares of Common Stock, effective as of the close of trading on the Conversion Date.

(c) Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any shares that the Corporation has elected to redeem pursuant to this Section 6 or Section 7. Accordingly, if the Corporation has provided a notice of redemption with respect to some of all of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of any Series A Preferred Stock that the Corporation has called for redemption shall not be permitted to exercise their conversion right pursuant to Section 6 in respect of any of the shares that have been called for redemption, and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be so converted and the holders of such shares shall be entitled to receive on the applicable redemption date the applicable redemption price.


(d) Written notice as to the redemption of any Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 6 shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each such record holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of each such holder as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may then be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date (which may not be after the Conversion Date); (ii) the Redemption Price payable on the redemption date, including without limitation a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant Dividend Record Date as described above; (iii) that the Series A Preferred Stock are being redeemed pursuant to this Section 6; and (iv) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. If less than all the Conversion Shares are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder also shall specify the number of Conversion Shares to be redeemed.

(e) If notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in accordance with the notice and shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption without interest thereon. No further action on the part of the holders of such shares shall be required.

(f) In the event of any conversion or redemption pursuant to Section 6, if the Conversion Date or redemption date, as applicable, occurs after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares converted or called for redemption, as applicable, shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date, and shall not be payable in connection with the conversion or redemption of such shares.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares of Common Stock would cause the holder of such shares of Common Stock (or any other person) to violate the restrictions on transfer and ownership set forth in Article VII of the Charter.


7. Optional Redemption by the Corporation.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6, the Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable by the Corporation prior to the 20th Trading Day after the date of a Listing Event, if any. However, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Article VII of the Charter. Pursuant to Article VII of the Charter, and without limitation of any provisions of such Article VII, the Series A Preferred Stock, together with all other stock of the Corporation, owned by a stockholder in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit (as defined in the Charter) will automatically be transferred to a Trust (as defined in the Charter) for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary (as defined in the Charter) and the Corporation shall have the right to purchase such transferred shares from the Trust. For this purpose, the Market Price (as defined in the Charter) of Series A Preferred Stock shall equal the Stated Value, plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to and including the date of purchase.

(b) From time to time, on and after the 20th Trading Day after the date of a Listing Event, if any, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem such shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time, in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Stated Value per share, plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the date fixed for redemption (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) (the “Optional Redemption Date”).

(c) The Optional Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation and shall be 30 days after the date on which the Corporation sends a notice of redemption (the “Optional Redemption Notice”).

(d) If full cumulative dividends (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed pursuant to this Section 7, unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any of its affiliates may purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Series A Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the redemption or purchase by the Corporation of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Article VII of the Charter.

(e) If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation shall select those shares to be redeemed pro rata or in such manner as the Board of Directors may determine.

(f) The Optional Redemption Notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each such record holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of each such holder as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.


(g) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may then be listed or admitted to trading, the Optional Redemption Notice shall state: (i) the Optional Redemption Date; (ii) the redemption price payable on the Optional Redemption Date, including without limitation a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant Dividend Record Date as described above; (iii) whether the redemption price will be paid in cash or Common Stock; (iv) that the Series A Preferred Stock are being redeemed pursuant to Section 7; and (v) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Optional Redemption Date. If less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder also shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

(h) If the Optional Redemption Notice has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the Optional Redemption Date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in accordance with the notice and shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the cash or Common Stock payable upon such redemption without interest thereon. No further action on the part of the holders of such shares shall be required.

(i) Pursuant to Section 6 above, the Corporation also shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Conversion Shares subject to a Conversion Notice for a cash payment to the holder thereof equal to the Redemption Price set forth in Section 6(b) above, by delivering a Redemption Notice to the holder of such Conversion Shares on or prior 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the applicable Conversion Date.

(j) Subject to applicable law and the limitation on purchases when dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, the Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement.

8. Redemption Price.

(a) The redemption price payable pursuant to any redemption pursuant to Section 7 (other than any redemption in connection with a Conversion Notice pursuant to Sections 6 and 7(i)) shall be paid in cash or, at the election of the Corporation in its sole discretion, in shares of Common Stock, based on the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date; provided however, that if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed on a national securities exchange, then the value of the Common Stock will be equal to the then current NAV per share of Common Stock if then established by the Corporation. Until the establishment of a NAV per share, the value of the Common Stock for redemption purposes shall be equal to $25.00 or the initial offering price per share of Common Stock in Mobile’s initial public offering. For the avoidance of doubt, any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be paid in cash.


(b) Redemptions of shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Corporation in connection with a Conversion Notice pursuant to Sections 6 and 7(i), if any, shall be paid in cash.

(c) In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 7, if the Optional Redemption Date occurs after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares.

9. No Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7, but in lieu of fractional shares, the Corporation, at its sole discretion, may (i) eliminate a fractional interest by rounding up to a full share, (ii) arrange for the disposition of a fractional interest by the person entitled to it, (iii) pay cash for the fair value of a fractional share of stock determined as of the time when the person entitled to receive it is determined, or (iv) otherwise arrange for the disposition of the fractional interest in accordance with Section 2-214 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

10. Appointment of Transfer Agent; Mechanics of Conversion and Redemption.

(a) The Corporation shall maintain or cause to be maintained a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the registration of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of transfers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of registering shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of transfers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided. The Corporation may appoint a registrar and one or more transfer agents for the Series A Preferred Stock as it shall determine. The Corporation may change the transfer agent without prior notice to any holder.

(b) If the Corporation elects to issue Common Stock upon any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7, the Corporation shall cause the transfer agent to, as soon as practicable, but not later than three (3) business days after the effective date of such conversion or redemption, register the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as a result of such redemption. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or redemption shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of the effective date of such conversion or redemption.


11. Reservation of Shares.

(a) The Corporation shall reserve and shall at all times have reserved out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7 of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock when issued upon redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(b) Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been converted or redeemed pursuant to Section 6 or redeemed pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall, after such redemption or acquisition, have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series until such shares are once more classified and designated as part of a particular class or series by the Board of Directors.

12. Adjustments. If a conversion or redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or Section 8 occurs less than 20 Trading Days after the Corporation: (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides or splits the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) consolidates with, or merges with or into, any other person, or engages in any reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization that is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (other than as a cash dividend or distribution declared by the Corporation), the Stated Value shall be adjusted so that the conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock less than 20 Trading Days after such event shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or cash, which, if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted or redeemed immediately prior to such event, such holder would have owned upon such conversion or redemption and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, merger, reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization.

13. Voting Rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights.

14. Restrictions on Transfer. The Series A Preferred Stock are subject to the provisions of Article VII of the Charter. In addition, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be sold or otherwise Transferred (as defined in the Charter) unless the holder thereof delivers evidence, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such sale or other Transfer (as defined in the Charter) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock is made to an accredited investor solely in compliance with all federal and state securities laws. Series A Preferred Stock shall include the following legend and any other legends required by state securities laws and the Charter and Bylaws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.


Any sale or transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock made in violation of any federal or state securities law shall be void ab initio.

paid or payable on the Series 1 Preferred Stock with a Dividend Payment Date before the date such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock are issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on each share of Mobile Preferred Stock exchanged in the Merger for a share of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be treated for purposes of the Charter as if accrued by the Corporation with respect to such share of Series 1 Preferred Stock, including any unpaid dividends prior to the Original Issue Date and otherwise in accordance with this Section 4(a) (such amount with respect to each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock, not including the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends paid in cash as part of the consideration paid in the Merger to the holder of such share of Mobile Preferred Stock for which the Series 1 Preferred Stock was exchanged, the “Mobile Preferred Accrual”). Any dividend payable on the Series 1 Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period shall be computed ratably on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends shall be payable in arrears to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the 24th day of each month (the “Dividend Record Date”). The term “business day” shall mean any day, other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law to close, or a day which is or is declared a national or a New York state holiday.

(b) Holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series 1 Preferred Stock. Any dividend payment made on the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable.

(c) No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series 1 Preferred Stock that may be in arrears (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual).

(d) When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series 1 Preferred Stock (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) or any other class or series of Parity Stock, or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, all dividends declared upon the Series 1 Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Series 1 Preferred Stock and accumulated, accrued and unpaid on such Parity Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Parity Stock does not have a cumulative dividend).

(e) Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative dividends equal to the full amount of all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 1 Preferred Stock have been, or are concurrently therewith, declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of Junior Stock or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared and made, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation with respect to any shares of


Junior Stock or Parity Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made for purposes of an equity incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation) for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock), directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of Junior Stock, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property be paid or distributed to or for the benefit of holders of shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Corporation shall not be prohibited from (i) declaring or paying or setting apart for payment any dividend or other distribution on any shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock, or (ii) redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring Junior Stock or Parity Stock, in each case, if such declaration, payment, setting apart for payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition is necessary in order to comply with the restrictions on transfer and ownership set forth in Article VII of the Charter.

5. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution by the Corporation shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any shares of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation that are legally available for distribution to the stockholders, a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value per share (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to and including the date of payment (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual). Until the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to the date of final distribution to such holders, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the available assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the above described Liquidation Preference and the liquidating payments on any shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series 1 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.


(b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, the holders of any classes or series of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive any and all assets of the Corporation remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

(c) The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other corporation, trust or entity with or into the Corporation, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Corporation or a statutory share exchange, shall not be deemed to constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. A Listing Event shall not be deemed to constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(d) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) shall not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities.

6. Conversion.

(a) Subject to the Corporation’s redemption rights set forth in Section 6(b), each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder thereof by written notice to the Corporation (each, a “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion Notice shall state: (i) the number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock to be converted; and (ii) that the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock are to be converted pursuant to the applicable terms of the Series 1 Preferred Stock. Each such share of Series 1 Preferred Stock will convert into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) 100% of the Stated Value plus (B) any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Conversion Date (as defined below) (unless the Conversion Date is after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in such sum) by (ii) the conversion price of each share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price will be determined as follows:

i. Provided there has been a Listing Event, the Conversion Price for such share of Series 1 Preferred Stock will be equal to the VWAP per share of Common Stock of the Corporation (or its successor) for the 20 Trading Days prior to the delivery date of the Conversion Notice.

ii. If a Listing Event has not occurred, the Conversion Price for such share of Series 1 Preferred Stock will be equal to 100% of the Corporation’s net asset value per share of Common Stock (“NAV per share”), if then established, and until the Corporation establishes a NAV per share, the Conversion Price will be equal to $25.00, or the initial offering price per share of common stock in Mobile’s initial public offering.


A holder may elect to convert all or any portion of its shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock by delivering a Conversion Notice stating its intent to convert such number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Subject to the Corporation’s redemption rights set forth in Section 6(b) and Section 7, the conversion of the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock subject to a Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Shares”) into shares of Common Stock will occur at the end of the 20th Trading Day after the Corporation’s receipt of such Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Date”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a holder providing a Conversion Notice, the Corporation will have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Conversion Shares at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the Stated Value of each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) thereon to, but not including, the redemption date (the “Redemption Price”):

The Corporation, in its discretion, may elect to redeem, in whole or in part, any such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock by delivering a written notice of redemption to the holder thereof on or prior to 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the Conversion Date. If the Corporation elects to redeem such Conversion Shares, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price, without interest, to holder of the redeemed Conversion Shares promptly following the delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6, but, in any event, not later than the Conversion Date, which payment date shall also be the redemption date for purposes of this Section 6; provided, however, that if the Corporation exercises its redemption right pursuant to Section 7, such shares shall be redeemed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7. If a notice of redemption is not delivered by the Corporation by the 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the Conversion Date, the Conversion Shares shall thereafter convert into shares of Common Stock, effective as of the close of trading on the Conversion Date.

(c) Holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any shares that the Corporation has elected to redeem pursuant to this Section 6 or Section 7. Accordingly, if the Corporation has provided a notice of redemption with respect to some of all of the Series 1 Preferred Stock, holders of any Series 1 Preferred Stock that the Corporation has called for redemption shall not be permitted to exercise their conversion right pursuant to Section 6 in respect of any of the shares that have been called for redemption, and such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not be so converted and the holders of such shares shall be entitled to receive on the applicable redemption date the applicable redemption price.

(d) Written notice as to the redemption of any Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 6 shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each such record holder of such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of each such holder as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity


of the proceedings for the redemption of any such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series 1 Preferred Stock may then be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date (which may not be after the Conversion Date); (ii) the Redemption Price payable on the redemption date, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant Dividend Record Date as described above; (iii) that the Series 1 Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to this Section 6; and (iv) that dividends on the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. If less than all the Conversion Shares are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder also shall specify the number of Conversion Shares to be redeemed.

(e) If notice of redemption of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in accordance with the notice and shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption without interest thereon. No further action on the part of the holders of such shares shall be required.

(f) In the event of any conversion or redemption pursuant to Section 6, if the Conversion Date or redemption date, as applicable, occurs after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares converted or called for redemption, as applicable, shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date, and shall not be payable in connection with the conversion or redemption of such shares.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no holder of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares of Common Stock would cause the holder of such shares of Common Stock (or any other person) to violate the restrictions on transfer and ownership set forth in Article VII of the Charter.

7. Optional Redemption by the Corporation.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6, the Series 1 Preferred Stock are not redeemable by the Corporation prior to the 20th Trading Day after the date of a Listing Event, if any.

Pursuant to Article VII of the Charter, and without limitation of any provisions of such Article VII, the Series 1 Preferred Stock, together with all other stock of the Corporation, owned by a stockholder in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit


(as defined in the Charter) will automatically be transferred to a Trust (as defined in the Charter) for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary (as defined in the Charter) and the Corporation shall have the right to purchase such transferred shares from the Trust. For this purpose, the Market Price (as defined in the Charter) of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall equal the Stated Value, plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to and including the date of purchase.

(b) From time to time, on and after the 20th Trading Day after the date of a Listing Event, if any, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem such shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time, in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Stated Value per share, plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to and including the date fixed for redemption (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) (the “Optional Redemption Date”).

(c) The Optional Redemption Date shall be selected by the Corporation and shall be 30 days after the date on which the Corporation sends a notice of redemption (the “Optional Redemption Notice”).

(d) If full cumulative dividends (including the Mobile Preferred Accrual) on all outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed pursuant to this Section 7, unless all outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any of its affiliates may purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the redemption or purchase by the Corporation of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Article VII of the Charter.

(e) If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation shall select those shares to be redeemed pro rata or in such manner as the Board of Directors may determine.

(f) The Optional Redemption Notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each such record holder of such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of each such holder as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

(g) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series 1 Preferred Stock may then be listed or admitted to trading, the Optional Redemption Notice shall state: (i) the Optional Redemption Date; (ii) the redemption price payable on the Optional Redemption Date, including without limitation a statement as to whether or not accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next Dividend Payment Date to


the record holder at the close of business on the relevant Dividend Record Date as described above; (iii) whether the redemption price will be paid in cash or Common Stock; (iv) that the Series 1 Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to Section 7; and (v) that dividends on the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Optional Redemption Date. If less than all the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder also shall specify the number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

(h) If the Optional Redemption Notice has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the Optional Redemption Date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in accordance with the notice and shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the cash or Common Stock payable upon such redemption without interest thereon. No further action on the part of the holders of such shares shall be required.

(i) Pursuant to Section 6 above, the Corporation also shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Conversion Shares subject to a Conversion Notice for a cash payment to the holder thereof equal to the Redemption Price set forth in Section 6(b) above, by delivering a Redemption Notice to the holder of such Conversion Shares on or prior 10th Trading Day prior to the close of trading on the applicable Conversion Date.

(j) Subject to applicable law and the limitation on purchases when dividends on the Series 1 Preferred Stock are in arrears, the Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement.

8. Redemption Price.

(a) The redemption price payable pursuant to any redemption pursuant to Section 7 (other than any redemption in connection with a Conversion Notice pursuant to Sections 6 and 7(i)) shall be paid in cash or, at the election of the Corporation in its sole discretion, in shares of Common Stock, based on the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 20 Trading Days immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date; provided however, that if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed on a national securities exchange, then the value of the Common Stock will be equal to the then current NAV per share of Common Stock if then established by the Corporation. Until the establishment of a NAV per share, the value of the Common Stock for redemption purposes shall be equal to $25.00, or the initial offering price per share of common stock in Mobile’s initial public offering. For the avoidance of doubt, any accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be paid in cash.

(b) Redemptions of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock by the Corporation in connection with a Conversion Notice pursuant to Sections 6 and 7(i), if any, shall be paid in cash.


(c) In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 7, if the Optional Redemption Date occurs after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, the dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date in respect of such shares called for redemption shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holders of record at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date, and shall not be payable as part of the redemption price for such shares.

9. No Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7, but in lieu of fractional shares, the Corporation, at its sole discretion, may (i) eliminate a fractional interest by rounding up to a full share, (ii) arrange for the disposition of a fractional interest by the person entitled to it, (iii) pay cash for the fair value of a fractional share of stock determined as of the time when the person entitled to receive it is determined, or (iv) otherwise arrange for the disposition of the fractional interest in accordance with Section 2-214 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

10. Appointment of Transfer Agent; Mechanics of Conversion and Redemption.

(a) The Corporation shall maintain or cause to be maintained a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the registration of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and of transfers of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock for the purpose of registering shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and of transfers of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock as herein provided. The Corporation may appoint a registrar and one or more transfer agents for the Series 1 Preferred Stock as it shall determine. The Corporation may change the transfer agent without prior notice to any holder.

(b) If the Corporation elects to issue Common Stock upon any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7, the Corporation shall cause the transfer agent to, as soon as practicable, but not later than three (3) business days after the effective date of such conversion or redemption, register the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as a result of such redemption. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or redemption shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of the effective date of such conversion or redemption.

11. Reservation of Shares.

(a) The Corporation shall reserve and shall at all times have reserved out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit any conversion pursuant to Section 6 or redemption pursuant to Section 7 of the then outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock when issued upon redemption of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


(b) Any share of Series 1 Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been converted or redeemed pursuant to Section 6 or redeemed pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall, after such redemption or acquisition, have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series until such shares are once more classified and designated as part of a particular class or series by the Board of Directors.

12. Adjustments. If a conversion or redemption of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or Section 8 occurs less than 20 Trading Days after the Corporation: (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides or splits the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) consolidates with, or merges with or into, any other person, or engages in any reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization that is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (other than as a cash dividend or distribution declared by the Corporation), the Stated Value shall be adjusted so that the conversion or redemption of the Series 1 Preferred Stock less than 20 Trading Days after such event shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or cash, which, if the Series 1 Preferred Stock had been converted or redeemed immediately prior to such event, such holder would have owned upon such conversion or redemption and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, merger, reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization.

13. Voting Rights. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights.

14. Restrictions on Transfer. The Series 1 Preferred Stock are subject to the provisions of Article VII of the Charter. In addition, no shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock may be sold or otherwise Transferred (as defined in the Charter) unless the holder thereof delivers evidence, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such sale or other Transfer (as defined in the Charter) of such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock is made to an accredited investor solely in compliance with all federal and state securities laws. Shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall include the following legend and any other legends required by state securities laws and the Charter and Bylaws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

Any sale or transfer of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock made in violation of any federal or state securities law shall be void ab initio.


ANNEX C

SERIES 2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

1. Designation and Number. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the “Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series 2 Preferred Stock”), is hereby established. The par value of the Series 2 Preferred Stock is $0.0001 per share. The number of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be 60,000.

2. Rank. The Series 2 Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) prior or senior to the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Corporation, the Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Corporation, any class or series of Common Stock of the Corporation and any other class or series of equity securities, if the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock are entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (“Junior Stock”); (ii) on a parity with any class or series of equity securities of the Corporation if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series of equity securities, the holders of such class or series of equity securities and the holders of the Series 2 Preferred Stock are entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share (if any) or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other (“Parity Stock”); (iii) junior to any class or series of equity securities of the Corporation if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series, the holders of such class or series are entitled to the receipt of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation in preference or priority to the holders of the Series 2 Preferred Stock (“Senior Stock”); and (iv) junior to all of the existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation. The term “equity securities” does not include convertible debt securities, which will rank senior to the Series 2 Preferred Stock.

3. Dividends.

(a) Holders of shares of the Series 2 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10.0% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference for the period beginning from, and including, the original date of issuance of such share of Series 2 Preferred Stock and ending on the Dividend Payment Date (as defined below); provided that the if the Dividend Payment Date occurs prior to the first anniversary of the original date of issuance of such share of Series 2 Preferred Stock, Holders of such share shall receive dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10.0% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference for a period of one year. Dividends shall be payable in kind only on a single payment date and shall not be payable in cash. Dividends shall be payable on the date (and immediately preceding the time) that the Series 2 Preferred Stock converts into Common Stock in accordance with Section 5 (the “Dividend Payment Date”); provided, that if the Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the preceding or succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend


Payment Date and no interest, additional dividends or other sums shall accrue thereon. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation for the Series 2 Preferred Stock at the close of business one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the Dividend Payment Date (the “Dividend Record Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, each share of Series 2 Preferred Stock outstanding on the Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the same dividend on the Dividend Payment Date, whether or not such share was issued and outstanding for the entire dividend period.

(b) The number of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock to be issued in payment of such dividend in kind with respect to each outstanding share of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of such dividend per share by (ii) the $1,000.00 liquidation preference per share of Series 2 Preferred Stock.

(c) No dividends on shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors or declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation if such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by applicable law.

(d) In determining for purposes of Section 2-311 of the Maryland General Corporation Law or otherwise under the Maryland General Corporation Law whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), by dividend, redemption or otherwise, is permitted, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of shares of the Series 2 Preferred Stock will not be added to the total liabilities of the Corporation.

(e) “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

4. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any Junior Stock, the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends, determined, for purposes of calculating any accrued and unpaid dividends, as if the date of final distribution to such holders is the Dividend Payment Date (the “Liquidation Amount”), and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, its assets, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the above described preferential amount and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably in the same proportion as the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series 2 Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.


(b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock and any holders of Parity Stock, any other class or series of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series 2 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

(c) Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 10 or more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series 2 Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

(d) None of a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity, a merger of another entity with or into the Corporation, a statutory share exchange by the Corporation or a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or business shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

5. Mandatory Conversion.

(a) Upon the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date that the Common Stock first becomes listed on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE American; provided that (x) there has been no suspension or removal from listing during such thirty (30)-day period and (y) such date shall, in no case, occur prior to December 31, 2023; or (ii) a Change of Control (as defined below), all outstanding shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock will automatically convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Liquidation Amount by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” means $3.67, which initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock, is subject to adjustment in accordance with this Section 5. “Change of Control” means (i) any sale, transfer, conveyance or disposition in one or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Corporation to a person, other than to a subsidiary of the Corporation or a person that becomes a subsidiary of the Corporation; or (ii) any sale, consolidation, merger, recapitalization or other transaction of the Corporation with or into another person (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity) that results in the holders of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all Series 2 Preferred Stock then outstanding had been converted pursuant to this Section 5 as of immediately prior to such sale, consolidation or merger) immediately prior to such sale, consolidation, merger, recapitalization or other transaction failing to hold at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock (or other stock of the resulting entity or its parent company, as determined on an as-converted basis); provided that the initial business combination of the Corporation’s predecessor, Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, shall not constitute a Change of Control.


(b) Procedural Requirements. The Corporation shall notify in writing or by electronic transmission all holders of record of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock of the mandatory conversion of the shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(a). Unless otherwise provided herein, the notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the mandatory conversion. Effective upon the mandatory conversion or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to such holder’s nominee(s), the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof in book-entry form, together with cash as provided in Section 5(c) in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by the NYSE American (or such other national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed) on the effective date of the conversion (or if such date is not a trading day, then the closing price shall be determined as of the next succeeding trading day). Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion will be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock held by a stockholder at the time and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the stockholder upon such conversion.

(d) Reservation of Shares. For the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall at all times while any share of Series 2 Preferred Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, that number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such corporate action to be taken as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(e) Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock that shall have been converted into Common Stock as provided herein shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares will immediately cease and terminate at the conversion time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Section 5(c). Any shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock so converted shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock.


(f) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first share of Series 2 Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation (such date referred to herein as the “Original Issue Date”) effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including a subdivision effected by payment of a stock dividend), the Conversion Price for the Series 2 Preferred Stock in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series 2 Preferred Stock will be increased in proportion to the increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series 2 Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination will be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 5(f) becomes effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(g) No Voluntary Conversion. Except as set forth in this Section 5, the shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation, and shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall not be voluntarily convertible at the election of the holder thereof or otherwise.

6. Limited Voting Rights. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any action by the Corporation. In any matter in which the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each such holder shall have the right to one vote for each share of Series 2 Preferred Stock held by such holder. The holders of shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall have exclusive voting rights on any amendment to the Charter that would alter the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter, of only the Series 2 Preferred Stock.

7. No Redemption Rights. Except in connection with a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock are not otherwise redeemable at the election of the Corporation.

8. Preemptive Rights.

(a) Each holder of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Amount (as defined below) of any New Securities (as defined below) that the Corporation may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. In the event the Corporation proposes to issue any New Securities, it shall give all holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock written or electronic notice, at their last addresses as they shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, at least 10 days before such issuance, describing the New Securities, the price and number of shares (or principal amount) and the general terms upon which the Corporation proposes to issue the same. Each such holder shall have 10 days


from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to the amount of New Securities equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Amount of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Corporation at its principal office or such other address as may be specified by the Corporation in its notice to the holders, of such holder’s intention to purchase such New Securities at the initial closing of the sale of New Securities and the number of such New Securities that such holder intends to purchase.

(b) If a holder of Series 2 Preferred Stock fails to exercise in full its right of participation within said 10 day period as set forth in Section 8(a), the Corporation shall have 180 days thereafter to sell additional amounts of New Securities as to which such holder’s option was not exercised, at the same price as specified in the Corporation’s notice and upon terms (other than price) no more favorable in any material respect to the buyer thereof than the terms specified in the Corporation’s notice. The Corporation shall not issue or sell any additional amounts of New Securities after the expiration of such 180-day period without first offering such securities to the holders of Series 2 Preferred Stock in the manner provided in Section 8(a) above.

(c) For purposes of this Section 8, the term “Pro Rata Amount” means, at any time, with respect to any holder of Series 2 Preferred Stock, the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series 2 Preferred Stock held by such holder are then convertible, to (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding (on a fully diluted basis), including all outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock on an as-converted or exercised basis (including, without limitation, the Series 2 Preferred Stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock); and “New Securities” means any shares of stock of the Corporation, whether or not now authorized, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of stock, other than (1) the Series 2 Preferred Stock issued on or about August 25, 2023 and shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, (2) shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or other purchase rights exercisable for shares of Common Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights issued or to be issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation’s 2023 Incentive Award Plan or any other stock purchase, stock option or stock incentive plans, dividend reinvestment or other arrangements approved by the Board of Directors; (3) securities issued in the initial business combination of the Corporation’s predecessor, Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, or as consideration for the Corporation’s bona fide arms-length acquisition of another business enterprise by merger, purchase of all or substantially all assets, purchase of shares, or other reorganization approved by the Board of Directors; (4) shares of Common Stock issued upon the redemption, exchange or conversion of equity interests in Mobile Infra Operating Company, LLC or its successor; (5) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to options, warrants, notes or other rights to acquire securities of the Corporation (or any subsidiary or predecessor entity) outstanding as of August 25, 2023; and (6) securities issued in any share split, stock dividend or recapitalization of the Corporation for which an adjustment is made to the terms of conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock under Section 5 herein.


(d) The preemptive rights provided for in this Section 8 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect from and after a conversion effected under Section 5 above.

9. Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Shares. The Series 2 Preferred Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer set forth in Article VII of the Charter. Pursuant to Article VII of the Charter, and without limitation of any provisions of such Article VII, shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock together with other shares of Capital Stock owned by a stockholder in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit or Ownership Limit, as applicable, shall automatically be transferred to a Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

10. Status of Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been acquired by the Corporation shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock until such shares are once more reclassified and designated as part of a particular class or series of stock by the Board of Directors.

11. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given pursuant to the terms of the Series 2 Preferred Stock set forth herein or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver thereof in writing or by electronic transmission, given by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

12. Withholding. The Corporation and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount actually or deemed paid or distributed with respect to the Series 2 Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock and any adjustments to the Conversion Price of the Series 2 Preferred Stock, in each case, to the extent required by applicable law. To the extent that any amount is so deducted or withheld, such amount shall be treated as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2. ADDITIONAL OFFICES. The Corporation may have additional offices, including a principal executive office, at such places as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. PLACE. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at such other place as shall be set in accordance with these Bylaws and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine that a meeting not be held at any place, but instead may be held partially or solely by means of remote communication. In accordance with these Bylaws and subject to any guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, stockholders and proxy holders may participate in any meeting of stockholders held by means of remote communication and may vote at such meeting as permitted by Maryland law. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

Section 2. ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Corporation shall be held on the date and at the time and place set by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS.

(a) General. Each of the chair of the board, chief executive officer, president and Board of Directors may call a special meeting of stockholders. Except as provided in subsection (b)(4) of this Section 3, a special meeting of stockholders shall be held on the date and at the time and place set by the chair of the board, chief executive officer, president or Board of Directors, whoever has called the meeting. Subject to subsection (b) of this Section 3, a special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the secretary of the Corporation to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting (the “Special Meeting Percentage”).

 

1


(b) Stockholder-Requested Special Meetings. (1) Any stockholder of record seeking to have stockholders request a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the secretary (the “Record Date Request Notice”) by registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Request Record Date”). The Record Date Request Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the Record Date Request Notice), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) and shall set forth all information relating to each such stockholder and each matter proposed to be acted on at the meeting that would be required to be disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or would otherwise be required in connection with such a solicitation, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the Board of Directors may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not precede and shall not be more than ten days after the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within ten days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution fixing the Request Record Date, the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the tenth day after the first date on which a Record Date Request Notice is received by the secretary.

(2) In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders, one or more written requests for a special meeting (collectively, the “Special Meeting Request”) signed by stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the request) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not less than the Special Meeting Percentage shall be delivered to the secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall (i) set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to those lawful matters set forth in the Record Date Request Notice received by the secretary), (ii) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, (iii) set forth (A) the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is signed), (B) the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned (beneficially or of record) by each such stockholder and (C) the nominee holder for, and number of, shares of stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such stockholder, (iv) be sent to the secretary by registered mail, return receipt requested, and (v) be received by the secretary within 60 days after the Request Record Date. Any requesting stockholder (or agent duly authorized in a writing accompanying the revocation of the Special Meeting Request) may revoke such stockholder’s request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the secretary.

(3) The secretary shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing or delivering the notice of the meeting (including the Corporation’s proxy materials). The secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (2) of this Section 3(b), the secretary receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to the preparation and mailing or delivery of such notice of the meeting.

 

2


(4) In the case of any special meeting called by the secretary upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder-Requested Meeting”), such meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any Stockholder-Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record Date”); and provided further that if the Board of Directors fails to designate, within ten days after the date that a valid Special Meeting Request is actually received by the secretary (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m., local time, on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided further that in the event that the Board of Directors fails to designate a place for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting within ten days after the Delivery Date, then such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. In the case of any Stockholder-Requested Meeting, if the Board of Directors fails to fix a Meeting Record Date that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date. The Board of Directors may revoke the notice for any Stockholder-Requested Meeting in the event that the requesting stockholders fail to comply with the provisions of paragraph (3) of this Section 3(b).

(5) If written revocations of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the secretary and the result is that stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing), as of the Request Record Date, entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special meeting on the matter to the secretary: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been delivered, the secretary shall refrain from delivering the notice of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such requests written notice of any revocation of a request for a special meeting on the matter, or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been delivered and if the secretary first sends to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked requests for a special meeting on the matter written notice of any revocation of a request for the special meeting and written notice of the Corporation’s intention to revoke the notice of the meeting or for the chair of the meeting to adjourn the meeting without action on the matter, (A) the secretary may revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before ten days before the commencement of the meeting or (B) the chair of the meeting may call the meeting to order and adjourn the meeting from time to time without acting on the matter. Any request for a special meeting received after a revocation by the secretary of a notice of a meeting shall be considered a request for a new special meeting.

(6) The chair of the board, chief executive officer, president or Board of Directors may appoint regionally or nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections to act as the agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special Meeting Request received by the secretary. For the purpose of permitting the

 

3


inspectors to perform such review, no such purported Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to have been received by the secretary until the earlier of (i) five Business Days after actual receipt by the secretary of such purported request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the valid requests received by the secretary represent, as of the Request Record Date, stockholders of record entitled to cast not less than the Special Meeting Percentage. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request, whether during or after such five Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).

(7) For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Ohio are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Section 4. NOTICE. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each meeting of stockholders, the secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting notice in writing or by electronic transmission stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, by mail, by presenting it to such stockholder personally, by leaving it at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business, by electronic transmission or by any other means permitted by Maryland law. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If transmitted electronically, such notice shall be deemed to be given when transmitted to the stockholder by an electronic transmission to any address or number of the stockholder at which the stockholder receives electronic transmissions. The Corporation may give a single notice to all stockholders who share an address, which single notice shall be effective as to any stockholder at such address, unless such stockholder objects to receiving such single notice or revokes a prior consent to receiving such single notice. Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders, or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity of any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article II or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting.

Subject to Section 11(a) of this Article II, any business of the Corporation may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice. The Corporation may postpone or cancel a meeting of stockholders by making a public announcement (as defined in Section 11(c)(4) of this Article II) of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting. Notice of the date, time and place to which the meeting is postponed shall be given not less than ten days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in this section.

Section 5. ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed by the Board of Directors to be chair of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment or appointed individual, by the chair of the board or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence of the chair of the board, by one of the following individuals present at the meeting in the following order: the chief executive officer, the president, the vice presidents in their order of rank and, within each rank, in their order of seniority, the secretary, or, in the absence of such officers, a chair chosen by the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy. The secretary or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence of the secretary, an assistant secretary or an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting shall act as secretary. In the event that the secretary presides at a meeting of stockholders, an assistant secretary, or, in the absence of all assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting, shall record the minutes of the meeting. Even if present at the meeting, the person holding the office named herein may delegate to another person the power to act as chair or secretary of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the chair of the meeting. The chair of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action as, in the discretion of the chair and without any action by the stockholders, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting; (b) limiting attendance or participation at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies and such other individuals as the chair of the meeting may determine; (c) recognizing speakers at the meeting and determining when and for how long speakers and any individual speaker may address the meeting; (d) determining when and for how long the polls should be opened and when the polls should be closed and when announcement of the results should be made; (e) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (f) removing any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chair of the meeting; (g) concluding a meeting or recessing or adjourning the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, to a later date and time and at a place either (i) announced at the meeting or (ii) provided at a future time through means announced at the meeting; and (h) complying with any state and local laws and regulations concerning safety and security. Unless otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with any rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 6. QUORUM. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the charter of the Corporation (the “Charter”) for the vote necessary for the approval of any matter. If such quorum is not established at any meeting of the stockholders, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. The date, time and place of the meeting, as reconvened, shall be either (a) announced at the meeting or (b) provided at a future time through means announced at the meeting.

The stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and at which a quorum has been established, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal from the meeting of enough stockholders to leave fewer than would be required to establish a quorum.

Section 7. VOTING. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director. Each share entitles the holder thereof to vote for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the holder is entitled to vote. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute or by the Charter. Unless otherwise provided by statute or by the Charter, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the chair of the meeting shall order that voting be by ballot or otherwise.

Section 8. PROXIES. A holder of record of shares of stock of the Corporation may cast votes in person or by proxy that is (a) executed by the stockholder or by the stockholder’s duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by applicable law, (b) compliant with Maryland law and these Bylaws and (c) filed in accordance with the procedures established by the Corporation. Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the record of the proceedings of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

Section 9. VOTING OF STOCK BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Stock of the Corporation registered in the name of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, managing member, manager, general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such stock pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such stock. Any trustee or fiduciary, in such capacity, may vote stock registered in such trustee’s or fiduciary’s name, either in person or by proxy.

Shares of stock of the Corporation directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of stock registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the

 

6


Board of Directors considers necessary or appropriate. On receipt by the secretary of the Corporation of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the holder of record of the specified stock in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.

Section 10. INSPECTORS. The Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting may appoint, before or at the meeting, one or more inspectors for the meeting and any successor to the inspector. Except as otherwise provided by the chair of the meeting, the inspectors, if any, shall (a) determine the number of shares of stock represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and the validity and effect of proxies, (b) receive and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, (c) report such tabulation to the chair of the meeting, (d) hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, and (e) do such acts as are proper to fairly conduct the election or vote. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

Section 11. ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the record date set by the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting, at the time of giving of notice by the stockholder as provided for in this Section 11(a) and at the time of the annual meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with this Section 11(a).

(2) For any nomination or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 11, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation and any such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall set forth all information and certifications required under this Section 11 and shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement (as defined in Section 11(c)(4) of this Article II) for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in connection with the Corporation’s first annual meeting or in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, in order for notice by the stockholder to be timely, such notice must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a) of this Section 11 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased, and there is no public announcement of such action at least 130 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement (as defined in Section 11(c)(4) of this Article II) for the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by clause (iii) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 11 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(6) For purposes of this Section 11, “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person acting in concert with such stockholder or another Stockholder Associated Person or who is otherwise a participant (as defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) in the solicitation, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iii) any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such stockholder or such Stockholder Associated Person.

Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Article II for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the record date set by the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 11 and at the time of the special meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more individuals to the Board of Directors, any stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election as a director as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice, containing the

 

11


information and certifications required by paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) of this Section 11, is delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting. The public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) General. (1) If any information or certification submitted pursuant to this Section 11 by any stockholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders, including any information or certification from a Proposed Nominee, shall be inaccurate in any material respect, such information or certification may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 11. Any such stockholder shall notify the Corporation of any inaccuracy or change (within two Business Days of becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change) in any such information or certification. Upon written request by the secretary or the Board of Directors, any such stockholder or Proposed Nominee shall provide, within five Business Days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (i) written verification, satisfactory, in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 11, (ii) a written update of any information (including, if requested by the Corporation, written confirmation by such stockholder that it continues to intend to bring such nomination or other business proposal before the meeting and, if applicable, satisfy the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3)) submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 11 as of an earlier date and (iii) an updated certification by each Proposed Nominee that such individual will serve as a director of the Corporation if elected. If a stockholder or Proposed Nominee fails to provide such written verification, update or certification within such period, the information as to which such written verification, update or certification was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 11.

(2) Only such individuals who are nominated in accordance with this Section 11 shall be eligible for election by stockholders as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 11. A stockholder proposing a Proposed Nominee shall have no right to (i) nominate a number of Proposed Nominees that exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting or (ii) substitute or replace any Proposed Nominee unless such substitute or replacement is nominated in accordance with this Section 11 (including the timely provision of all information and certifications with respect to such substitute or replacement Proposed Nominee in accordance with the deadlines set forth in this Section 11). If the Corporation provides notice to a stockholder that the number of Proposed Nominees proposed by such stockholder exceeds the number of directors to be elected at a meeting, the stockholder must provide written notice to the Corporation within five Business Days stating the names of the Proposed Nominees that have been withdrawn so that the number of Proposed Nominees proposed by such stockholder no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected at a meeting. If any individual who is nominated in accordance with this Section 11 becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the Board of Directors, then the nomination with respect to such individual shall no longer be valid and no votes may validly be cast for such individual. The chair of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 11.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, the Corporation shall disregard any proxy authority granted in favor of, or votes for, director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees if the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person (each, a “Soliciting Stockholder”) soliciting proxies in support of such director nominees abandons the solicitation or does not (i) comply with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including any failure by the Soliciting Stockholder to (A) provide the Corporation with any notices required thereunder in a timely manner or (B) comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) timely provide sufficient evidence in the determination of the Board of Directors sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Soliciting Stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence. Upon request by the Corporation, if any Soliciting Stockholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or is not required to provide notice because the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) has been provided in a preliminary or definitive proxy statement previously filed by such Soliciting Stockholder), such Soliciting Stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five Business Days prior to the applicable meeting, sufficient evidence in the judgment of the Board of Directors that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(4) For purposes of this Section 11, “the date of the proxy statement” shall have the same meaning as “the date of the company’s proxy statement released to shareholders” as used in Rule 14a-8(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. “Public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, Business Wire, PR Newswire or other widely circulated news or wire service or (ii) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 11. Nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to affect any right of a stockholder to request inclusion of a proposal in, or the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, any proxy statement filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act. Nothing in this Section 11 shall require disclosure of revocable proxies received by, or routine solicitation contacts made by or on behalf of, the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person pursuant to a solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule 14A by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person.

(6) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting, if the stockholder giving notice as provided for in this Section 11 does not appear in person or by proxy at such annual or special meeting to present each nominee for election as a director or the proposed business, as applicable, such matter shall not be considered at the meeting.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Warrants.

1.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other officer of the Company. In the event the Person whose electronic signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such Person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

 

1


1.2 Registration.

1.2.1. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Company shall register the Warrants in the names and denominations of the respective holders thereof.

1.2.2. Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate (as defined below) made by anyone other than the Company), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

2. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

2.1 Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock, at the price of $7.83 per share (such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), subject to the adjustments provided in Section 3. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

2.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised from the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 25, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the conditions set forth in Section 2.4.

2.3 Exercise of Warrants.

2.3.1. Exercise Procedure. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof (A) by delivering to the Company at its address set forth in Section 9.2 hereof, (i) the Warrant Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the “Warrant Certificate”) evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, and (ii) a notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate, and (B) by paying full the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised in lawful money of the Unites States, by wire transfer to the Company, unless Net Exercise is elected in accordance with Section 2.3.2.

 

2


2.3.2. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising the Warrant pursuant to Section 2.3.1., at any time, the Purchaser may elect to credit the Warrant Price against the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares at the time of exercise (the “Net Exercise”) pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. If the Company shall receive written notice from the Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Warrant that the Purchaser elects to Net Exercise the Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (without payment by the Purchaser of any exercise price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

LOGO

where

 

X=    The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Purchaser.
Y=    The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).
A=    The Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
B=    The Warrant Price (as adjusted hereunder).

2.3.3. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and, if applicable, the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price in accordance with Section 2.3.1, the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised.

2.3.4. Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and, if applicable, payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open.

2.4 Limitation on Exercise Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Registered Holder upon any exercise a Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Registered Holder’s pursuant to Sections 542(a)(2) and 544 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as those sections are used in Section 856(h) of the Code, does not exceed 9.8% of the

 

3


total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise) unless the Board of Directors has, in its sole discretion, granted the Registered Holder a waiver from the stock ownership limitations set forth in the Charter. The parties hereto acknowledge that certain listing standards of the Trading Market may generally require the Company to obtain the approval of its stockholders before entering into certain transactions that potentially result in the issuance of 20% or more of its outstanding Common Stock; accordingly, in the event of an exercise of the Warrants that would result in the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by a Registered Holder and any Affiliate of such Registered Holder exceeding 19.9% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise), the Company shall, at its discretion, either obtain stockholder approval of such issuances or upon settlement of the exercise of such Warrant deliver cash in lieu of any shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Warrant in excess of such limitation, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof.

3. Adjustments.The Warrant Price and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that no single event shall cause an economically duplicative adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 3.

3.1 Split-Ups/Dividends. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3.3 Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Section 3.1 or 3.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. The aggregate Warrant Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

3.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”); provided, however, that (i) if the holders of Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of Common Stock under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d- 5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.

3.5 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the each holder of a Warrant pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Agreement, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

5


3.6 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

3.7 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

3.8 Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this Section 3 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 3, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, reasonably acceptable to the Registered Holder, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 3 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

4. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

4.1 Restrictions on Transfer. Except as permitted pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Warrants may not be sold, assigned, disposed of, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise transferred (collectively, a “Transfer”) by the Registered Holder without the prior written consent of the Company which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion until six months following the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction on Transfer shall not apply to a Transfer by a Registered Holder to a Permitted Transferee. Six months following the date hereof, the Warrants may be freely Transferred subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, following any Transfer any such Warrants subject to a Transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Any Transfer of the Warrants and Warrant Shares must be in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities Laws and, unless such Warrants or Warrant Shares are transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, if requested by the Company, receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such Transfer is in compliance with the Act and applicable state securities Laws.

 

6


4.2 Registration on Transfer. Subject to the instructions set forth in Section 4.1, the Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant by the Registered Holder to the Company for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.

4.3 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Company has received an opinion of counsel stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

4.4 Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange of a Warrant which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a Warrant.

4.5 Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of Transfer of Warrants.

5. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

5.1 No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights, to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

5.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in its discretion reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

5.3 Registration of Common Stock. Any Common Stock issuable to Purchaser upon exercise of the Warrants shall be “Registerable Shares,” as such is defined in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2023, by and among the Company and the other parties party thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and entitled to the registration rights provided therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Warrant is exercised in connection with the exercise of the Registered Holder’s registration rights in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, such Warrant shall not be deemed to have been exercised to the extent that the applicable Warrant Shares are not sold in the applicable offering. The Company will procure, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, the listing of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant on the principal stock exchange on which shares of Common Stock are then listed or traded.

6. Covenants. The Company warrants and agrees for the benefit of the Registered Holders that:

6.1 Due Authorization and Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will, upon issue be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof.

6.2 Sufficient Number of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the rights evidenced by the Warrants, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the Warrants.

6.3 Compliance with Law. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable Law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for the official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

6.4 Listing on National Exchange. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

7. Representations and Warranties.

7.1 Representation by the Company. The Company represents that (a) the Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of the Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued and (b) all corporate actions on the part of the Company necessary for the issuance of the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been taken.

7.2 Representations and Warranties by the Registered Holder. The Registered Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

  a)

The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Act.

 

  b)

The Registered Holder understands that the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Registered Holder indefinitely, and that the Registered Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration.

 

8


  c)

The Registered Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.

 

  d)

The Registered Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Warrants.

 

  e)

The Registered Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

8. Taxes.

8.1 Withholding. The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold taxes on all payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the Warrants and Warrant Shares to the extent required by applicable Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of a Warrant as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a governmental authority on account of such taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) with respect to a Warrant or Warrant Share (or in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) in respect thereof), the Company shall be entitled (i) to offset any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such Warrant or Warrant Share or (ii) to require the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made to reimburse the Company for such amounts (and such Person shall promptly so reimburse the Company upon demand). The Company shall take commercially reasonable steps to minimize or eliminate any withholding or deduction described in this Section 8.1, including by giving the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding may be made an opportunity to provide additional information or to apply for an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.1, the Company shall (i) make commercially reasonable efforts to notify each holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any withholding of its intention of any such withholding (it being understood that any such notice shall include a brief written description of the basis for such withholding) and (ii) not withhold with respect to any U.S. federal withholding tax if it receives a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 certifying its exemption from withholding from a holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares.

8.2 Transfer Tax. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer tax (“Transfer Tax”) due on the issue of shares of Warrant Shares or certificates representing such shares or securities. However, the Company shall not be required to pay any Transfer Tax that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery (or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery) of Warrant Shares to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial

 

9


owner of the Warrant Shares immediately prior to the event pursuant to which such issue or delivery is required, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such Transfer Tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Transfer Tax has been paid or is not payable.

8.3 Warrant Value. The parties intend that the fair market value as of August 25, 2021 for federal income tax purposes of the Warrants issued hereby shall not be in excess of $400,000, and the parties shall perform their federal (and conforming state and local) income tax reporting consistent therewith, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

9.3 Amendments. All modifications or amendments to this Agreement, including any amendment to increase the Warrant Price or shorten the Exercise Period, shall require the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants.

9.5 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto, the Registered Holders of the Warrants and their permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants.

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

9.6.1. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of Laws principles.

9.6.2. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Maryland state or federal court. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Maryland state or federal court, for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b)

 

11


irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

9.7 Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and this right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with its pursuit of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

9.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE WARRANTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.8.

9.9 Severability. If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term, condition or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

[Form of Warrant Certificate]

[Reverse]

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement dated as of August 29, 2023 (the “Warrant Agreement”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company.

Warrants may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of notice of exercise set forth hereon properly completed and executed at the principal corporate office of the Company. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.

Neither Borrower nor any other party shall have the right of withdrawal with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Account, except in accordance with the provisions of, and for the purposes stated in, this Section 5.19. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account may be applied to payments of interest due under this Agreement as they become due, up to the amount of the Interest Shortfall for any month (“Permitted Debt Service”). Borrower may, no more frequently than on a monthly basis, request that the Agent agree to release a portion of the funds in the Debt Service Reserve Account to be used for Permitted Debt Service, including to reimburse the Borrower for payments of Permitted Debt Service with respect to such month.

(c) If the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate evidencing that the Borrowing Base Interest Coverage Ratio has been not less than 1.15 to 1.0 for three consecutive months, then, at the Borrower’s request, any remaining balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be promptly paid over to the Borrowers and the provisions of this Section 5.19 shall not apply thereafter; provided that if, subsequently, the Borrowing Base Interest Coverage Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any consecutive three-month period, the Borrower will promptly deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account funds in an amount equal to three (3) times the Interest Shortfall for the then most recently-ended month and the provisions of this Section 5.19 will be applicable thereafter until further suspended or terminated in accordance herewith.

If permitted under the Securities Act, such Demand Registration Statement shall be automatically effective upon filing.

 

6


(b) Within 10 days after receipt of any Demand Notice under 2(a), the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration (which shall specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities) to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (a “Company Notice”), and the Company shall include (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) in such registration, all Registrable Securities of such Holders with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of such Company Notice (the “Requesting Holders”); provided that any such other Holder may withdraw its request for inclusion prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective by notifying the Company in accordance with Section 12(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time (including, without limitation, prior to or after receiving a Demand Notice from a Holder), in its sole discretion, include all Registrable Securities then outstanding or any portion thereof in any Demand Registration Statement, including by virtue of adding such Registrable Securities as additional securities to an effective Demand Registration Statement (in which event the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities so included, so long as such registration statement remains effective and not the subject of any stop order, injunction or other order of the Commission). In addition, the Company may include in a Demand Registration Statement shares of Common Stock for sale for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company.

(c) If such Demand Registration Statement is filed in connection with an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Holders covered by such Demand Registration Statement that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of securities proposed to be sold pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such underwritten offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per security) (such maximum number of securities, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), the Company shall include in such Demand Registration Statement only such number of securities that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, can be sold without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per security), which securities shall be so included in the following order of priority, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holders covered by such Demand Registration Statement: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities owned thereby, (ii) second, any securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, and (iii) third, any other securities that have been requested to be so included in such Demand Registration Statement.

(d) If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a Demand Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Holder(s) that delivered the Demand Notice shall have the right to select the underwriters (and their roles) in the offering and determine the structure of the offering and negotiate the terms of any underwriting agreement as they relate to the Requesting Holders, including the number of Registrable Securities to be sold (if not all Registrable Securities offered can be sold at the highest price offered by the underwriters), the offering price and underwriting discount; provided that such underwriters, structure and terms are reasonably acceptable to the Company and a majority of the Requesting Holders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of a Demand Registration Statement would (i) have a material adverse effect on the Company, or (ii) require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company that at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of the Board, in the best interests of the Company to disclose and is not, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, otherwise required to be disclosed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for the period during which such registration would have

such a material adverse effect on the Company; provided, however, that (x) the Company may not defer such filing for a period of more than 60 days after receipt of any Demand Notice, and (y) the Company may not exercise its right to defer the filing of a Demand Registration Statement more than once in any 12-month period without the consent of a majority of the Requesting Holders. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to the Requesting Holder to defer the filing and of the fact that the purpose for such deferral no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof.

(f) Following the date of effectiveness of any Demand Registration Statement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Demand Registration Statement continuously effective until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement.

(g) If, by the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of a Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) any of the Registrable Securities remain unsold by the Holders included on such Demand Registration Statement, the Company shall file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new Resale Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities included on the prior Demand Registration Statement and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective on or prior to the Renewal Deadline; and the Company shall take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Registrable Securities to continue as contemplated in the prior Demand Registration Statement.

Section 3. Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) If, at any time, the Company has determined to register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company on any registration statement (other than (i) on Form S-3 relating to any dividend reinvestment or similar plan or (ii) Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms) that permits the inclusion of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall give the Holders written notice thereof promptly (but in no event less than 20 days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to Section 3(b), shall include in such Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities requested to be included therein pursuant to the written request (a “Piggyback Request”) of one or more Holders (the “Piggyback Holders”) received within 10 days after delivery of the Company’s notice.

(b) If a Piggyback Registration Statement is filed in connection with a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration Statement exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration Statement, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Majority Selling Holders, (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock (or other common shares of the Company) that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of Piggyback Holders (such number of shares shall be allocated among such Piggyback Holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such Piggyback Holder).

(c) If a Piggyback Registration Statement is filed in connection with an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of shares of Common Stock other than under this Agreement, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold pursuant to such Piggyback Registration Statement exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration Statement, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such holder(s) (including, if applicable, a majority of the Piggyback Holders), (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock

requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of Piggyback Holders (such number of shares shall be allocated among such Piggyback Holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such Piggyback Holder, if necessary), (iii) third, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by any other holders, and (iv) fourth, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell.

(d) If any Piggyback Registration Statement is filed in connection with a primary or secondary underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right to select, in its sole discretion, the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering.

(e) The Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any Common Stock on a Piggyback Registration Statement unless such rights are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.

(f) If, at any time after giving a Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the securities originally intended to be included in such registration statement, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Holders and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection with the registration of securities originally intended to be included in such registration statement.

Section 4. Initial Registration. The Company agrees that it will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Registerable Securities (the “Registration Statement”) as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event no later than the first business day to occur 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (A) the 90th calendar day (or 135th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing date of the Registration Statement and (B) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Registerable Securities, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Holders cease to hold any Registerable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or (ii) on the first date on which each Holder is able to sell all of its Registerable Securities under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). If the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registerable Securities proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of Company securities as is permitted by the Commission, (ii) the number of Company securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and (iii) the Company shall promptly file another registration statement covering the offer and sale of the remaining Registerable Securities held by the Holders. Any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the required filing date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 4, provided that any delay in the filing date or

 

9


Effectiveness Date that is not a breach of the Company’s obligations hereunder shall give rise to a corresponding extension of such deadline(s), as applicable, by an equal number of days. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form S-3.

Section 5. Suspension.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and a good faith determination by the Board that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of any Resale Registration Statement following the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement (and the filings with any U.S. federal or state securities commissions, as necessary), the Company, by written notice to the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”), may direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than 30 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in any 365-day period) if any of the following events occurs or will occur, as applicable: (i) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock (or other common shares of the Company) by the Company for its own account if the Company is advised by the managing underwriter or underwriters that the concurrent resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s offering, subject to Section 3 hereof, (ii) there is material non-public information regarding the Company that (A) the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose, (B) would, in the good faith determination of the Board, require any revision to the Resale Registration Statement so that it shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (C) the Company is not otherwise required to disclose or (iii) there is a significant bona fide business purpose or opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), including any significant merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company that the Company determines not to be in the Company’s best interests to disclose (each of the events described in clauses (i)-(iii), a “Suspension Event”).

(b) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company delivering to the Holders an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below), or (ii) the end of the maximum permissible suspension period, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Resale Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, if necessary, or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Resale Registration Statement so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registrable Securities as soon as possible.

(c) If the Company intends to suspend a Resale Registration Statement upon the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Company shall give a Suspension Notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by any Resale Registration Statement to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities, and such Suspension Notice shall state that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing (subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 5(a)) and that the Company is taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably possible. Such Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. If so directed by the Company, each such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by any Resale Registration Statement in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.

 

10


(d) In the event the Company has delivered a Suspension Notice to the Holders, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing (or book entries evidencing) Registrable Securities and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities until the Company delivers to the Holders an End of Suspension Notice.

Section 6. Registration Procedures.

(g) during the period of time set forth in Section 2 or Section 4, as applicable, use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable;

(i) except as provided in Section 5, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 6(f)(iv), use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Resale Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, upon request, promptly furnish to each requesting Holder a reasonable number of copies of each such supplement or post-effective amendment;

12


(l) prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s obligation to file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of the effectiveness period of the Resale Registration Statement as required by Section 2 or Section 4, as applicable, the Company shall register the Registrable Securities under the Exchange Act and maintain such registration through the effectiveness period required by Section 2 or Section 4, as applicable;

(m) (i) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, (ii) make generally available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements (which need not be audited) covering at least 12 months that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder, and (iii) delay filing any Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement to such Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus to which any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by any Resale Registration Statement shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, such Holder having been furnished with a copy thereof at least two Business Days prior to the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Company may file such Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement following such time as the Company shall have made a good faith effort to resolve any such issue with the objecting Holder and shall have advised the Holder in writing of its reasonable belief that such filing complies in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act;

(n) cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registrable Securities covered by any Resale Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Resale Registration Statement;

(o) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Securities (whether or not pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement) that would result in the securities being delivered no longer constituting Registrable Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing (or book entries evidencing) the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates or book entries shall not bear any transfer restrictive legends arising under federal or state securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request at least three Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities;

(p) cause management of the Company to cooperate as may be reasonably requested with each of the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Resale Registration Statement, including by participating in roadshows, one-on-one meetings with institutional investors, and any request for information or other diligence request by any such Holder or any underwriter; notwithstanding the foregoing, management of the Company shall not be required to participate in roadshows or one-on-one meetings with institutional investors unless requested by one or more Holders of Registrable Securities having an aggregate value of at least $50,000,000;

(q) in connection with an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to obtain a customary “comfort” letter from the independent registered public accountants for the Company and any acquisition target of the Company whose financial statements are required to be included or incorporated by reference in any Resale Registration Statement, in form and substance customarily given by independent registered public accountants in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to each Resale Registration Statement;

 

13


(r) execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including an underwriting agreement or placement agent agreement, as applicable in customary form) and take such other actions and obtain such certificates and opinions as sellers of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request in order to effect a public offering of such Registrable Securities and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the offering is an underwritten offering, (A) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Resale Registration Statement and documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, and (B) use reasonable best efforts to furnish to the selling Holders and underwriters of such Registrable Securities opinions and negative assurance letters of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) are reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and one counsel selected by a majority of the selling Holders of the Registrable Securities), covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and any such underwriters; and

(s) upon reasonable request by a Holder, the Company shall file an amendment to any applicable Resale Registration Statement (or Prospectus supplement, as applicable), to name additional Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise update the information provided by any such Holder in connection with such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities.

Section 7. Obligations of the Holders.

(a) The Company may require the Holders to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed method or methods of distribution of Registrable Securities by such Holder as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as may be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and no Holder may be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in any Resale Registration Statement or use the Prospectus forming a part thereof if such Holder does not provide such information to the Company; provided, however, that if the Company elects to file a registration statement that includes all Registrable Securities outstanding in accordance with Section 2(a) or Section 4, the Company shall be permitted to include in such registration statement such information regarding the Holders as the Company has in its possession at the time of the filing of such registration statement. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading.

(b) Each Holder agrees to, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 6(f)(ii), 6(f)(iii) or 6(f)(iv) hereof, immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement until (i) any such stop order is vacated, or (ii) if an event described in Section 6(f)(iii) or Section 6(f)(iv) occurs, such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, in its possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 8. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and any other actions that may be taken in connection with the registration contemplated herein. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of Registrable Securities sold in such registration) of all Selling Expenses and any other expense relating to a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and any other Selling Expenses relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any Resale Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to pay any fees and disbursements to underwriters not customarily paid by the issuers of securities in an offering similar to the applicable offering, including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

 

14


Section 9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Resale Registration Statement, each person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders, partners, limited or general partners, agents and employees of each of them, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, penalties, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement or any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; in each case, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statement or omission is based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein, or (B) such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of the Registrable Securities and was approved in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Resale Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) Each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Resale Registration Statement shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign a Resale Registration Statement, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement or any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that (i) such untrue statement or omission is based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein, or (ii) such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of the Registrable Securities and was approved in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Resale Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 9 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the

 

15


expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of such counsel was authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim or (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 9 in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d).

(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) In no event shall any Holder be liable for any Losses pursuant to this Section 9 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder of any Registrable Securities sold by such Holder.

Section 10. Rule 144. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Letter Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, the Preferred Subscription Agreement and the Company Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable, the Company shall, at the Company’s expense, for so long as any Holder holds any Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Holders, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder from time to time, to facilitate any proposed sale of Registrable Securities by the requesting Holder(s) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144, including by using reasonable best efforts (i) to comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and (ii) to provide opinions of counsel as may be reasonably necessary in order for such Holder to avail itself of such rule to allow such Holder to sell such Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

Section 11. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or otherwise assigned to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities (a “Permitted Transferee”), provided (i) such transferee or assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee or

 

16


assignee were an original party hereunder, and (ii) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment stating the name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with regard to which such rights and obligations are being transferred or assigned. A Permitted Transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 11 may not again transfer those rights to any other Permitted Transferee, other than as provided in this Section 11.

Section 12. Miscellaneous.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

Each such amendment, modification, extension or waiver shall be binding upon each party hereto; provided that (a) the consent of any Sponsor Holder, FWAC Sponsor Holder, Preferred Holder, and MIC Holder shall be required for any amendment, modification, extension or waiver which has an adverse effect on the rights, limitations or obligations of such Sponsor Holder, FWAC Sponsor Holder, Preferred Holder and MIC Holder, as applicable, and (b) any such amendment, modification, extension or waiver that by its terms would adversely affect a Holder or group of Holders in a disproportionate manner relative to the Holders generally shall require the written consent of the Holder (or a majority in interest based on Registrable Securities of such group of Holders) so affected. In addition, each party hereto may waive any right hereunder (solely as applicable to such party) by an instrument in writing signed by such party.

(e) Notices. Each notice, demand, request, request for approval, consent, approval, disapproval, designation or other communication (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a notice) required or desired to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), and shall be effective and deemed to have been received (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when receipt is acknowledged by recipient if sent by e-mail, (iii) five (5) days after having been mailed by certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) the next Business Day after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight mail or courier service, receipt requested. Notices shall be addressed as follows: (A) if to a Holder, at such Holder’s address or e-mail address set forth on Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C hereto, or at such other address or e-mail address as such Holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (B) if to any assignee or transferee of a Holder, at such address or e-mail address as such assignee or transferee shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (C) if to the Company, at the address of its principal executive offices and addressed to the attention of the President, or at such other address or e-mail address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holders. Any notice or other communication required to be given hereunder to a Holder in connection with a registration may instead be given to a designated representative of such Holder.

 

18


(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which may be executed by fewer than all of the parties hereto (provided, however, that each party executes one or more counterparts), each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts (including by means of facsimile, e-mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, for example, www.docusign.com) or other transmission method), each of which is an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(g) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void in any respect, such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable law. The provisions hereof are severable, and in the event any provision hereof should be held invalid or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not invalidate, render unenforceable or otherwise affect any other provision hereof.

(h) Section Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.

(i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. If any successor or permitted assignee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, (a) such successor or permitted assignee shall be entitled to all of the benefits of a “Holder” under this Agreement and (b) such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Holder or other party hereto may assign any of its respective rights or delegate any of its respective obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

(j) Remedies; No Waiver. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged in the event that the covenants set forth in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement solely in the courts specified in Section 12(a), in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled hereunder, at law or in equity. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or operate or be construed as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise of it or the exercise of any other remedy.

(k) No Other Obligation to Register. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to the Holders to register the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act.

 

19


(l) Changes in Securities Laws. In the event that any amendment, repeal or other change in the securities laws shall render the provisions of this Agreement inapplicable, the Company shall provide the Holders with substantially similar rights to those granted under this Agreement and use its good faith efforts to cause such rights to be as comparable as possible to the rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

OF MOBILE INFRA OPERATING COMPANY, LLC

THIS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF MOBILE INFRA OPERATING COMPANY, LLC, dated as of August 25, 2023, is made and entered into by and among the undersigned.

WHEREAS, Mobile Infra Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Partnership”), initially was formed pursuant to and in accordance with the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act by the filing of a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the SOS (as defined herein) on June 8, 2015 (the “Formation Date”);

WHEREAS, the Partnership was converted from a Delaware limited partnership to a Maryland limited partnership by the filing of a Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership and Articles of Conversion with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “SDAT”) on August 26, 2021 (the “Maryland Conversion”);

WHEREAS, the Partnership was converted from a Maryland limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company by the filing of Articles of Conversion with the SDAT and a Certificate of Formation of the Company and a Certificate of Conversion with the SOS (as defined below) on August 25, 2023 (the “Delaware Conversion”);

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that each of the Maryland Conversion and the Delaware Conversion be treated as a partnership-to-partnership conversion under Revenue Ruling 95-37, 1995-1 C.B. 130, subject to the principles of Revenue Ruling 84-52, 1984-1 C.B. 157; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned Persons desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for the operation of the Company and the relations of its Members.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Article 1

DEFINED TERMS

The following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement:

Act” means the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. Section 18-101, et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, and any successor to such statute.

Actions” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.7 hereof.

Additional Funds” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.3.A hereof.


Additional Member” means a Person who is admitted to the Company as a member pursuant to the Act and Section 4.2 and Section 12.2 hereof and who is shown as such on the books and records of the Company.

Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to any Member, the balance in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year or other applicable period, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) increase such Capital Account by any amounts that such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement upon liquidation of such Member’s Interest or that such Person is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) decrease such Capital Account by the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account” is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year or other applicable period.

Adjusted Net Income” means for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, an amount equal to the Company’s Net Income or Net Loss for such year or other period (other than any Net Income or Net Loss or items thereof allocated with respect to such year or other period prior to the allocation of Adjusted Net Income), computed without regard to the items set forth below; provided, that if the Adjusted Net Income for such year or other period is a negative number (i.e., a net loss), then the Adjusted Net Income for that year or other period shall be treated as if it were zero:

(i) Depreciation; and

(ii) Net gain or loss realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of any or all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to net gain or loss treated as realized in connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the Company’s assets as set forth in the definition of “Gross Asset Value.”

Adjustment Event” has the meaning set forth in Section 19.3 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be made for any class or series of Interests to the extent that the Company makes or effects any correlative distribution or payment to all of the Members holding Interests of such class or series, or effects any correlative split or reverse split in respect of the Interests of such class or series.

Except as expressly set forth in any Unit Designation or as may otherwise be required under the Act, an Interest of any class or series other than a Common Unit shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on, or consent to, any matter. Upon the issuance of any additional Interest, the Board shall update (or direct the update of) the Register and the books and records of the Company as appropriate to reflect such issuance.

B. Issuances of Compensatory Units. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board is hereby authorized to create one or more classes or series of additional Interests, in the form of Units (each such class or series of Interests is referred to as “Compensatory Units”), including, without limitation, LTIP Units and Performance Units, for issuance at any time or from time to time to directors, officers or employees of MIC or any Affiliate of the foregoing, and to admit such Persons as Additional Members, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board, all without approval of any Member or any other Person.

Page 31 of 113


Compensatory Units (including, without limitation, the extent to which the value or number of each such class or series of Compensatory Units is subject to adjustment based on the financial performance of MIC). Upon the issuance of any class or series of Compensatory Units, the Board shall amend this Agreement, including the Register and the books and records of the Company as appropriate to reflect such issuance.

No Units shall be issued to MIC unless (i) the additional Units are issued to all Members holding Common Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in Common Units, (ii) (a) the additional Units are (x) Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of Shares, or (y) Company Equivalent Units (other than Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance of Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in MIC (other than Shares), and (b) MIC contributes to the Company the cash proceeds or other consideration received in connection with the issuance of such Shares, Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in MIC, (iii) the additional Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt, Units or other securities issued by the Company, or (iv) the additional Units are issued pursuant to Section 4.3.B, Section 4.3.E, Section 4.4 or Section 4.5.

D. No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly specified in this Agreement or any Unit Designation, no Person, including, without limitation, any Member or Assignee, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Interest.

Section 4.3 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions.

A. General. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Company requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Properties, for the redemption of Units or for such other purposes as the Board may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Company, at the election of the Board, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 without the approval of any Member or any other Person.

B. Additional Capital Contributions. The Board, on behalf of the Company, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Members or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the Board is hereby authorized to cause the Company from time to time to issue additional Units (as set forth in Section 4.2 above) in consideration therefor and the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Units.

C. Loans by Third Parties. The Board, on behalf of the Company, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Company to incur Debt to any Person (other than MIC (but, for this purpose, disregarding any Debt that may be deemed incurred to MIC by virtue of clause (iii) of the definition of Debt)) upon such terms as the Board determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Units or Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not incur any such Debt if any Member would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Member otherwise agrees).

 

Page 32 of 113


D. MIC Loans. The Board, on behalf of the Company, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Company to incur Debt to MIC if (i) such Debt is, to the extent permitted by law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as Funding Debt incurred by MIC, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Company to provide such Additional Funds, or (ii) such Debt is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company than would be available to the Company from any third party; provided, however, that the Company shall not incur any such Debt if (a) any Member (or any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, principal, director, officer, adviser, beneficiary or trustee of any Member) would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Member or other affected Person otherwise agrees in writing) or (b) a breach or violation of, or default under, the terms of such Debt would be deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer of any Units or Interest held by any Person other than MIC.

E. Issuance of Securities by MIC. MIC shall not issue any additional Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities unless MIC contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such additional Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional Capital Shares or New Securities to the Company in exchange for (x) in the case of an issuance of Shares, Common Units, or (y) in the case of an issuance of Capital Shares or New Securities, Company Equivalent Units; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, MIC may issue Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (a) pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 15.1.B hereof, (b) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be), (c) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Capital Shares, (d) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise of New Securities, or (e) in connection with an acquisition of Units or a property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by MIC. In the event of any issuance of additional Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities by MIC, and the contribution to the Company, by MIC, of the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance (or property acquired with such proceeds), if any, if the cash proceeds actually received by MIC are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then MIC shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Company in the amount equal to the sum of the cash proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by MIC (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Company for purposes of Section 7.4). In the event that MIC issues any additional Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities and contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance thereof to the Company, the Company is expressly authorized to issue a number of Common Units or Company Equivalent Units to MIC equal to the number of Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities so issued, divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect, in accordance with this Section 4.3.E without any further act, approval or vote of any Member or any other Persons.

Page 36 of 113


B. Redemption or Repurchase of Capital Shares or Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4.C, if, at any time, any Capital Shares are redeemed or otherwise repurchased (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by MIC, the Company shall, immediately prior to such redemption or repurchase of Capital Shares, redeem an equal number of Company Equivalent Units held by MIC upon the same terms and for the same price per Company Equivalent Unit as such Capital Shares are redeemed or repurchased. If, at any time, any Shares are redeemed or otherwise repurchased by MIC, the Company shall, immediately prior to such redemption or repurchase of Shares, redeem or repurchase a number of Common Units held by MIC equal to the quotient of (i) the Shares so redeemed or repurchased, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, such redemption or repurchase to be upon the same terms and for the same price per Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the Adjustment Factor) as such Shares are redeemed or repurchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.7.B shall not apply in the event that such repurchase of Shares is paired with a stock split or stock dividend such that after giving effect to such repurchase and subsequent stock split or stock dividend there shall be outstanding an equal number of Shares as were outstanding prior to such repurchase and subsequent stock split or stock dividend.

Section 4.8 Excess Cash Contributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that, following any cash distribution made by the Company to the Members pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement, MIC determines in its sole discretion that it does not intend to use all the cash it receives in such distribution to pay its tax liabilities or any other liabilities and that it will contribute any such unused cash back to the Company (in each case, an “Excess Cash Contribution”), then, in order to maintain the Adjustment Factor at 1.0 and in lieu of issuing additional Common Units or other Units to MIC in consideration for such Excess Cash Contribution, the Company may elect, at the Board’s sole discretion, to effect a reverse unit split of the outstanding Units held by the Members (in each case, a “Reverse Unit Split”), provided, however, that in lieu of the Reverse Unit Split, the Board, in its sole discretion, may take other actions, including, without limitation, redemptions, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions and other adjustments, in each case intended to achieve the same economic result as the Reverse Unit Split (in each case, an “Alternative Adjustment”). In the event that any Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Adjustment made in accordance with this Section 4.8 would result in a Member being entitled to receive a fraction of a Unit, then in lieu of holding such fractional Unit following the effectiveness of such Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Action the Company may pay such Member an amount in cash in respect of such fractional Unit. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that no consent or approval of any Member and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required in connection with any Excess Cash Contribution made or any Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Action effected in accordance with this Section 4.8, and the Board shall reflect the effects of each such Excess Cash Contribution and Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Action in the books and records of the Company and shall provide written notice to each Member holding Units of the amount of any such Excess Cash Contribution and the total number of Units held by such Member after giving effect to any such Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Action as well as the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to such Member in lieu of such Member holding a fractional interest in a

 

Page 37 of 113


Unit after giving effect to such Reverse Unit Split or Alternative Action. The Company shall deliver to each Member holding Units the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence and any cash payment to which such Member is entitled in accordance with the second preceding sentence not later than 15 Business Days following the effectiveness of such Excess Cash Contribution.

Section 4.9 Other Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Member is admitted to the Company and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Company, such transaction shall be treated by the Company and the affected Member as if the Company had compensated such Member in cash and such Member had contributed the cash that the Member would have received to the capital of the Company. In addition, with the consent of the Board, one or more Members may enter into contribution agreements with the Company which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Company (and/or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company).

Article 5

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to the terms of Sections 16.2 and 17.2 and/or the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, the Board may cause the Company to distribute such amounts, at such times, as the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine, to the Holders as of any Record Date:

A. First, with respect to any Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of such class(es) of Units (and, within such class(es), among the Holders pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in each class of Units held on such Record Date); and

B. Second, with respect to any Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of such class of Units, as applicable (and, within such class, among the Holders pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class of Units held on such Record Date).

Distributions payable with respect to any Units that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made, other than any Units issued to MIC in connection with the issuance of Shares or Capital Shares by MIC, shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Units were outstanding. MIC shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with MIC’s intent to qualify as a REIT, to cause the Company to distribute sufficient amounts to enable MIC, for so long as MIC has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the REIT Requirements (it being understood that such requirement shall not apply for the taxable year ending December 31, 2020 and for any subsequent taxable year unless and until MIC determines it is realistically able to re-qualify as a REIT) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the Board, eliminate any federal income or excise tax liability of MIC. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) a Holder of LTIP Units will only be entitled to distributions with respect to an LTIP Unit as set forth in Article 19 hereof and (ii) a Holder of Performance Units will be entitled to distributions with respect to a Performance Unit as set forth in Article 20 hereof, and, in each case, in making distributions pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Board shall take into account the provisions of Section 19.4 hereof and Section 20.4 hereof, as applicable.

Section 5.2 Distributions in Kind. Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Holder to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Board may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in kind of Company assets to the Holders, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 13 hereof; provided, however, that the Board shall not make a distribution in kind to any Holder unless the Holder has been given 90 days prior written notice of such distribution.

Section 5.3 Tax Distributions. The Board shall cause the Company to make distributions to each Member holding Common Equivalent Units (“Tax Distributions”), pro rata in proportion to the Members’ respective ownership of Common Equivalent Units, in an amount such that the Member with the highest Tax Distribution Per Common Equivalent Unit receives an amount equal to such Member’s Tax Distribution Amount, on a quarterly basis at least five (5) days prior to the date on which any estimated tax payments are due, in order to permit each Member to timely pay its estimated tax obligations for each such Estimated Tax Period (or portion thereof). The “Tax Distribution Amount” for a Member for an Estimated Tax Period (or portion thereof) shall be equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the highest marginal combined federal, state, and local income tax rate applicable to an individual or corporation resident in New York, New York, or San Francisco, California, whichever is higher, (after giving effect to income tax deductions (if allowable) for state and local income taxes and excluding, for this purpose, any reduction in rate attributable to Code Section 199A) for such Estimated Tax Period (or portion thereof) (the “Assumed Tax Rate”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of taxable income or gain of the Company that is allocated or is estimated to be allocated to such Member for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any income allocation to a Member with respect to Preferred Units held by such Member) for such Estimated Tax Period (or portion thereof) and all prior Estimated Tax Periods (to the extent no Tax Distribution has previously been made with respect to any amounts of taxable income or gain including to the extent such amounts of taxable income or gain were not taken into account in calculating the Tax Distribution Amount for which a Tax Distribution was previously made (e.g., if upon filing the Company’s final tax return for the applicable taxable year taxable income or gain of the Company is higher than estimated)) reduced, but not below zero, by any tax deduction, loss, or credit previously allocated to such Member and not previously taken into account for purposes of the calculation of the amount of any Tax Distribution Amount, plus (b) solely with respect to MIC, to the extent the amounts described in clause (a) are not sufficient to permit MIC to timely pay the income and other tax liabilities for which it remains responsible under Section 7.4.B (final sentence), any incremental amount required to permit MIC to timely pay such actual tax liabilities (with all Tax Distribution Amounts updated to reflect the final Company tax returns and MIC tax returns for each applicable taxable year). The Board may adjust the Assumed Tax Rate as it reasonably determines is necessary to take into account the effect of any changes in applicable tax law. Tax Distribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be computed without regard to the effect of any special basis adjustments or resulting adjustments to taxable income made pursuant to Code Sections 734(b), 743(b), and 754. Notwithstanding the foregoing, final Tax Distributions in respect of the applicable quarterly period (or portion thereof) shall be made immediately prior to and in connection with any distributions made pursuant to Section 5.5 below. The Assumed Tax Rate

 

Page 39 of 113


shall be the same for all Members, regardless of the actual combined income tax rate of the Member or its direct or indirect owners. The Board shall make, in its reasonable discretion, equitable adjustments (downward (but not below zero) or upward) to the Members’ Tax Distributions (but in any event pro rata in proportion to the Members’ respective number of Common Equivalent Units) to take into account increases or decreases in the number of Units held by each Member during the relevant period. All Tax Distributions shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as advances against, and shall offset and reduce dollar-for-dollar, current or subsequent distributions under Section 5.1 in respect of Common Equivalent Units.

Section 5.4 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state, local or non-United States tax law and Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Distributions Upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 5, net proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction, and any other amounts distributed after the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof.

Section 5.6 Distributions to Reflect Additional Units. In the event that the Company issues additional Units pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, subject to the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, the Board is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article 5 and to Articles 6, 11 and 12 hereof as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Units, including, without limitation, making preferential distributions to Holders of certain classes of Units.

Section 5.7 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Board, on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Article 6

ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end of each such year, provided, that the Board may in its discretion allocate Net Income and Net Loss for a shorter period as of the end of such period (and, for purposes of this Article 6, references to the term “Fiscal Year” may include such shorter periods). Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject to Section 11.6.C hereof, an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

Section 6.2 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss.

A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 and Section 11.6.C, Net Income and Net Loss allocable with respect to a class of Interests shall be allocated to each of the Holders holding such class of Interests in accordance with their respective Percentage Interest of such class.

 

Page 40 of 113


B. Net Income. Except as provided in Sections 6.2.E, 6.2.F, 6.2.G, 6.2.H, 6.2.I and 6.3, Net Income (or, in the case of clauses (5) and (6) below, Adjusted Net Income) for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in the following manner and order of priority:

(1) First, 100% to MIC in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to MIC pursuant to clause (5) in Section 6.2.C for all prior Fiscal Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to MIC pursuant to this clause (1) for all prior Fiscal Years;

(2) Second, 100% to each Holder in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to each such Holder pursuant to clause (4) in Section 6.2.C for all prior Fiscal Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Holder pursuant to this clause (2) for all prior Fiscal Years;

(3) Third, 100% to the Holders of Series 2 Preferred Units in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to each such Holder pursuant to clause (3) in Section 6.2.C for all prior Fiscal Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Holder pursuant to this clause (3) for all prior Fiscal Years;

(4) Fourth, 100% to the Holders of Senior Preferred Units (other than Series 2 Preferred Units) in an amount equal to (A) with respect to each Holder of Series A Preferred Units, the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Holder pursuant to clause (2)(A) in Section 6.2.C for all prior Fiscal Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Holder pursuant to this clause (4)(A) for all prior Fiscal Years, and (B) with respect to each Holder of Series 1 Preferred Units, the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Holder pursuant to clause (2)(B) in Section 6.2.C for all prior Fiscal Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Holder pursuant to this clause (4)(B) for all prior Fiscal Years;

(5) Fifth, any remaining Adjusted Net Income (or Net Income to the extent there is insufficient Adjusted Net Income) to the Holders of Series 2 Preferred Units in an amount equal to the excess of the cumulative Series 2 Priority Return to the last day of the current Fiscal Year, over the cumulative Adjusted Net Income (or Net Income) allocated to the Holders of such units pursuant to this clause (5) for all prior Fiscal Years;

(6) Sixth, any remaining Adjusted Net Income (or Net Income to the extent there is insufficient Adjusted Net Income) to the Holders of Senior Preferred Units (other than Series 2 Preferred Units) in an amount equal to (A) with respect to Holders of Series A Preferred Units the excess of the cumulative Series A Priority Return to the last day of the current Fiscal Year or to the date of redemption, to the extent Series A Preferred Units are redeemed during such year, over the cumulative Adjusted Net Income (or Net Income) allocated to the Holders of such units pursuant to this clause (6)(A) for all prior Fiscal Years, and (B) with respect to Holders of Series 1 Preferred Units the excess of the cumulative Series 1 Priority Return to the last day of the current Fiscal Year or to the date of redemption, to the extent Series 1 Preferred Units are redeemed during such year, over the cumulative Adjusted Net Income (or Net Income) allocated to the Holders of such units pursuant to this clause (6)(B) for all prior Fiscal Years; and

 

Page 41 of 113


(7) Seventh, 100% to the Holders of Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Units.

To the extent the allocations of Net Income set forth above in any paragraph of this Section 6.2.B are not sufficient to entirely satisfy the allocation set forth in such paragraph, such allocation shall be made in proportion to the total amount that would have been allocated pursuant to such paragraph without regard to such shortfall.

C. Net Loss. Except as provided in Sections 6.2.E, 6.2.F, 6.2.G, 6.2.H, 6.2.I and 6.3, Net Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in the following manner and order of priority:

(1) First, 100% to the Holders of Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Units (to the extent consistent with this clause (1)) until the Adjusted Capital Account of all such Holders is zero (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) and ignoring the portion of any such Holder’s Capital Account attributable to Series A Preferred Units, Series 1 Preferred Units or Series 2 Preferred Units);

(2) Second, 100% to the Holders of Senior Preferred Units (other than Series 2 Preferred Units) (A) with respect to each Holder of Series A Preferred Units, pro rata to each such Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) and ignoring the portion of any such Holder’s Capital Account attributable to the Series 2 Preferred Units), until the Adjusted Capital Account (as so modified) of each such Holder is zero, and (B) with respect to each Holder of Series 1 Preferred Units, pro rata to each such Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) and ignoring the portion of any such Holder’s Capital Account attributable to the Series 2 Preferred Units), until the Adjusted Capital Account (as so modified) of each such Holder is zero;

(3) Third, 100% to the Holders of Series 2 Preferred Units, pro rata to each such Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2)), until the Adjusted Capital Account (as so modified) of each such Holder is zero;

(4) Fourth, 100% to the Holders (other than MIC) to the extent of, and in proportion to, the positive balance (if any) in their Adjusted Capital Accounts; and

(5) Fifth, 100% to MIC.

 

Page 42 of 113


To the extent the allocations of Net Loss set forth above in any paragraph of this Section 6.2.C are not sufficient to entirely satisfy the allocation set forth in such paragraph, such allocation shall be made in proportion to the total amount that would have been allocated pursuant to such paragraph without regard to such shortfall.

D. Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Interests. In the event that the Company issues additional Interests to MIC or any Additional Member pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, the Board shall make such revisions to this Section 6.2 or to Section 12.2.C or 13.2.A as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Interests, including making preferential allocations to certain classes of Interests, subject to Article 16 and Article 17 below and the terms of any Unit Designation with respect to Interests then outstanding.

E. Special Allocations Regarding Preferred Units. Subject to Sections 6.2.G and 6.3, if any Preferred Units are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.7.B hereof (treating a full liquidation of MIC’s Interest for purposes of this Section 6.2.E as including a redemption of any then outstanding Preferred Units pursuant to Section 4.7.B hereof), for the Fiscal Year that includes such redemption (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) (a) gross income and gain (in such relative proportions as the Board in its discretion shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Preferred Units to the extent that the redemption amounts paid or payable with respect to the Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceed the aggregate Capital Account balances allocable to the Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) and (b) deductions and losses (in such relative proportions as the Board in its discretion shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Preferred Units to the extent that the aggregate Capital Account balances allocable to the Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceeds the redemption amount paid or payable with respect to the Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed).

F. Special Allocations with Respect to Eligible Units. Subject to Section 6.2.E, in the event that Liquidating Gains are allocated under this Section 6.2.F, Net Income allocable under Section 6.2.B and any Net Losses allocable under Section 6.2.C shall be recomputed without regard to the Liquidating Gains so allocated. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.3.A hereof, and notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.2.B and 6.2.C above, any Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the Holders of Eligible Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such Holders, to the extent attributable to their ownership of Eligible Units, are equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their Eligible Units. Any such allocations shall be made among the Holders of Eligible Units in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each under this Section 6.2.F. The parties agree that the intent of this Section 6.2.F is to make the Capital Account balances of the Holders of LTIP Units and Performance Units with respect to their LTIP Units or Performance Units, as applicable, economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance of MIC with respect to its Common Units (on a per unit basis), but only to the extent that, at the time any Liquidating Gain is to be allocated, the Company has recognized cumulative net gains with respect to its assets since the issuance of the LTIP Unit or Performance Unit, as applicable.

 

Page 43 of 113


G. Special Allocations Upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 6 to the contrary but subject to Section 6.3, in the event that the Company disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction that will lead to a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Article 13 hereof, then: (i) any Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated in accordance with Section 6.2.F; and (ii) any Net Income or Net Loss realized in connection with such transaction and thereafter (recomputed without regard to the Liquidating Gains allocated pursuant to clause (i) above) shall be specially allocated for such Fiscal Year (and to the extent permitted by Code Section 761(c), for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year) among the Holders as required so as to cause liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 13.2.A hereof to be made in the same amounts and proportions as would have resulted had such distributions instead been made pursuant to Article 5 hereof. If there is an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the assets of the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, allocations of Net Income or Net Loss arising from such adjustment shall be allocated in the same manner as described in the prior sentence.

H. Offsetting Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2.B and 6.2.C, but subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, in the event Net Income or items thereof are being allocated to a Member to offset prior Net Loss or items thereof which have been allocated to such Member, the Board shall attempt to allocate such offsetting Net Income or items thereof which are of the same or similar character (including without limitation Section 704(b) book items versus tax items) to the original allocations with respect to such Member.

I. Notwithstanding Section 6.2.F or 6.3.A(1), the allocations under such sections shall be made only if and to the extent such allocations will not alter the amounts otherwise allocable with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, the Series 1 Preferred Units or the Series 2 Preferred Units, as applicable, under Sections 6.2 and 6.3, as determined by the Board.

Section 6.3 Additional Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6:

A. Regulatory Allocations.

(1) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, or any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(1) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(2) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 6.3.A(1) hereof, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-

 

Page 44 of 113


2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(2) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(3) Nonrecourse Deductions and Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(4) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(4) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(4) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.A(4) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(5) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Company upon complete liquidation of such Holder’s Interest (including the Holder’s interest in outstanding Preferred Units and other Units) and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(5) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(5) and Section 6.3.A(4) hereof were not in the Agreement.

 

Page 45 of 113


(6) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated (x) first, among the other Holders of Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests with respect to Common Units and (y) thereafter, among the Holders of other classes of Units as determined by the Board, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3.A(6).

(7) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(8) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3.A(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(9) Forfeiture Allocations. Upon a forfeiture of any Unvested LTIP Units or Unvested Performance Units by any Member, gross items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to such Member if and to the extent required by final Regulations promulgated after the Effective Date to ensure that allocations made with respect to all unvested Interests are recognized under Code Section 704(b).

(10) LTIP Units and Performance Units. For purposes of the allocations set forth in this Section 6.3.A, each issued and outstanding LTIP Unit or Vested Performance Unit will be treated as one outstanding Common Unit and each Unvested Performance Unit will be treated as the product of one outstanding Common Unit multiplied by the Performance Unit Sharing Percentage.

(11) Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s respective interest in Company profits shall be equal to such Holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to Common Units, except as otherwise determined by the Board.

Section 6.4 Tax Allocations.

A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations, each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.

B. Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Company shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Board. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the Board. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4.B are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

F. Tax Liabilities. In exercising its authority under this Agreement and subject to Section 7.8.B, the Board may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Member of any action taken (or not taken) by it. The Directors and the Company shall not have liability to a Member under any circumstances as a result of any tax liability incurred by such Member as a result of an action (or inaction) by the Board pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

G. Board Composition. The Board shall at all times be comprised of two (2) individuals (each, a “Director” and, collectively, the “Directors”). No Person shall have any right or authority to act for or bind the Company except as authorized by the Board or as expressly permitted in this Agreement. The Directors shall be appointed as follows: (i) for so long as MIC owns any Units, MIC shall have the right to appoint one (1) individual to the Board (the “Management Director”); and (ii) one (1) individual shall be appointed to the Board by the Consent of the Non-MIC Members. Each Director will serve until his or her death, disability, removal or resignation. A Director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the Board. Any such resignation shall take effect immediately upon its receipt or at such later time specified in the resignation. A Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Member or Members authorized to appoint such Director. Any replacement Management Director shall be appointed by MIC and any replacement non-Management Director shall be appointed by the Consent of the Non-MIC Members.

H. Voting; Quorum. The Management Director shall have the power to cast two (2) votes with respect to any matter presented to the Board or any committee of the Board to which the Management Director is appointed. The non-Management Director shall have the power to cast one (1) vote with respect to any matter presented to the Board or any committee of the Board to which the non-Management Director is appointed. The presence of the Directors entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Directors (i.e., two (2) out of three (3) votes) at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Board. Directors may participate in a meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission to such action is given by Directors entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would have been necessary to take the action at a meeting, assuming that all of the Directors were present and voting at that meeting, and such consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board. If any action is taken by the Directors by a written consent of fewer than all of the Directors, prompt notice of any such action shall be furnished to each Director who did not execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to furnish such notice.

I. Board Committees. The Board may establish such committees with the power and authority of the Board as the Board shall determine and the Board may determine which Directors will be appointed to each such committee; provided that the Management Director shall be appointed to each committee. The presence of the members of the committee entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the committee. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the members of the committee at a meeting at which a quorum

 

Page 52 of 113


is present shall be the action of the committee. Directors may participate in a meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of a committee of the Board may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission to such action is given by members of the committee entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would have been necessary to take the action at a meeting, assuming that all of the members of the committee were present and voting at that meeting, and such consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the committee. If any action is taken by a written consent of fewer than all of the members of the committee, prompt notice of any such action shall be furnished to each member of the committee who did not execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to furnish such notice.

J. Officers. The Board may appoint, elect, authorize and direct one or more officers to act on behalf of the Company. Such officers shall have such titles, authority, rights, and duties, and be subject to such limitations, as are specified in the written resolutions creating such positions or as otherwise provided by the Board. Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. Officers shall be chosen in such manner and shall hold their offices for such terms as are prescribed in the written resolutions adopted by the Board or as provided in this Agreement. Each officer shall hold office until such officer’s successor is elected and qualified or until such officer’s earlier resignation or removal. Any officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company. Any vacancy occurring in any office by death, resignation, removal or otherwise shall be filled by action of the Board. Officers shall receive such compensation, if any, as may be established from time to time by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, at any time, the Board may change the composition of the Company’s officers or alter their duties, responsibilities or authorities, and all such officers shall be understood to serve at the will of the Board and may at any time be removed, with or without cause, by action of the Board.

Section 7.2 Certificate. The Board may file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and each other state, the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction, in which the Company may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A hereof, the Board shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Member. The Board shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and any other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Company may elect to do business or own property.

Section 7.3 Restrictions on Board’s Authority.

Section 7.4 Compensation; Reimbursement.

A. Directors shall not receive any compensation for their services as Directors. Directors shall be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 7.7 and may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of attendance, if any, at each meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof and for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, in connection with each property visit and any other service or activity they perform or engage in as Directors; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Directors from serving the Company, MIC or any Affiliate thereof in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

B. Subject to Sections 7.4.C and 15.12 hereof, the Company shall be liable for, and shall reimburse MIC on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all sums expended by MIC in connection with the Company’s business, including, without limitation, (i) expenses relating to the ownership of interests in and management and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Company, (ii) compensation of officers and employees, including, without limitation, payments under future compensation plans, of MIC or the Company that may provide for stock units, or phantom stock, pursuant to which employees of MIC or the Company will receive payments based upon dividends on or the value of Shares, (iii) director or manager fees and expenses of MIC or its Affiliates, and (iv) all costs and expenses of MIC being a public company, including costs of filings with the SEC, reports and other deliveries to its stockholders; provided, however, that the amount of any reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by MIC with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Company. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of MIC as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. For this avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.4.B does not apply to MIC’s income tax liabilities (including income-based franchise tax liabilities), and does not apply to the amount of franchise tax liabilities (if measured by net worth, taxable capital or similar bases under applicable state or local law) to the extent the same would not have been owed by MIC but for its lack of REIT qualification and taxation in a particular taxable year, it being understood that in each such case any such tax liabilities remain the obligation of MIC itself.

C. To the extent practicable, Company expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, subject to Section 15.12 hereof, if and to the extent any reimbursements to MIC or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

Section 7.5 Outside Activities of MIC. MIC shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with, (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Interests, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Company, (c) the operation of MIC as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, (d) its operations as a REIT, if applicable, (e) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (f) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Company or its assets or activities, and (g) such activities as are incidental thereto; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, any funds

 

Page 56 of 113


raised by MIC pursuant to the preceding clauses (e) and (f) shall be made available to the Company, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, as appropriate; and, provided, further, that MIC may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Company so long as MIC takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such Property are otherwise vested in the Company, whether through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially reasonable to vest such economic interests in the Company, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement, including, without limitation, the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by MIC. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit MIC from executing guarantees of Company debt. MIC and all Disregarded Entities with respect to MIC, taken as a group, shall not own any assets or take title to assets (other than temporarily in connection with an acquisition prior to contributing such assets to the Company) other than (i) interests in Disregarded Entities with respect to MIC, (ii) Interests held by MIC, (iii) a minority interest in any Subsidiary of the Company that MIC holds to maintain such Subsidiary’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, and (iv) such cash and cash equivalents, bank accounts or similar instruments or accounts as such group deems reasonably necessary, taking into account Section 7.1.D hereof and the requirements necessary for MIC to qualify as a REIT, if applicable, and for MIC to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter. Any Affiliates of MIC may acquire Interests and shall, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, be entitled to exercise all rights of a Member relating to such Interests.

Section 7.6 Transactions with Affiliates.

A. The Company may lend or contribute funds to, and borrow funds from, Persons in which the Company has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from, and lend or contribute funds to, the Company, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.

B. Except as provided in Section 7.5 hereof, the Company may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

C. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither MIC, any Director, nor any of its Affiliates may sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Company, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by the Board in good faith to be fair and reasonable.

D. MIC, with the approval of the Board, may propose and adopt (on behalf of the Company) employee benefit plans (including without limitation plans that contemplate the issuance of LTIP Units or Performance Units) funded by the Company for the benefit of employees of MIC, the Company, Subsidiaries of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of MIC, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

Section 7.7 Indemnification.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Company (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) if the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, if the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful; or (iii) for any transaction for which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or otherwise, in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; and provided, further, that no payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Company to indemnify or advance funds to any Indemnitee (x) with respect to any Action initiated or brought voluntarily by such Indemnitee (and not by way of defense) unless (I) approved or authorized by the Board or (II) incurred to establish or enforce such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, and (y) in connection with one or more Actions or claims brought by the Company or involving such Indemnitee if such Indemnitee is found liable to the Company on any portion of any claim in any such Action.

Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Company is hereby authorized to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 7.7.A that the Company shall indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Agreement. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and neither MIC, any Director, nor any other Holder shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Company of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in Section 7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

D. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Board shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

E. Any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or MIC (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 7.7, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) an act or omission of such Indemnitee that was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful, or (iii) any transaction in which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or otherwise, in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement or applicable law.

F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Holders to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, and any such indemnification shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company.

G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

I. It is the intent of the parties that any amounts paid by the Company to MIC or any other Person who is a Member pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

J. The Company shall indemnify each Member and its Affiliates, their respective directors, officers, stockholders and any other individual acting on its or their behalf, from and against any costs (including costs of defense) incurred by it as a result of any litigation or other proceeding in which any Member is named as a defendant or any claim threatened or asserted against any Member, in either case which relates to the operations of the Company or any obligation assumed by the Company, unless such costs are the result of intentional harm or gross negligence on the part of, or a breach of this Agreement by, such Member; provided, however, that no Member shall have any personal liability with respect to the foregoing indemnification, any such indemnification to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Company.

K. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of MIC which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other instrument, transaction, or undertaking contemplated hereby shall be satisfied, if at all, out of the assets of MIC or the Company only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, any of MIC’s directors, stockholders, officers, employees, or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.

Section 7.8 Liability of the Directors and Officers.

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Directors and officers of the Company shall not be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any Members, or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if such Director or officer, as applicable, acted in good faith.

B. The Members agree that (i) the Directors are acting for the benefit of the Company, the Members and MIC’s stockholders collectively and (ii) notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, in the event of a conflict between the interests of the Company or any Member, on the one hand, and the separate interests of MIC or its stockholders, on the other hand, the Directors may give priority to the separate interests of MIC or the stockholders of MIC (including, without limitation, with respect to tax consequences to Members, Assignees or MIC’s stockholders), and, in the event of such a conflict, any action or failure to act on the part of the Directors (or MIC’s directors, officers or agents) that gives priority to the separate interests of MIC or its stockholders that does not result in a violation of the contract rights of the Members under this Agreement does not violate any other duty owed by the Directors to the Company and/or the Members.

C. The Board may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through the officers, employees or agents of the Company. Directors shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the Board in good faith.

 

Page 60 of 113


D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Directors’ and/or MIC’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Company and the Members under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Company by any Member pursuant to any other written instrument, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Company or to the other Members, or for the debts or liabilities of the Company or the Company’s obligations hereunder, and the full recourse of the other Member(s) shall be limited to the interest of that Member in the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except for liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property or assets of any Member, other than its interest in the Company, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Member(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. This Agreement is executed by the officers of MIC solely as officers of the same and not in their own individual capacities.

F. To the extent that, under applicable law, any Director or MIC has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or the Members, the Director or MIC, as applicable, shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or modify the duties and liabilities of the Directors or MIC under the Act or otherwise existing under applicable law, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Directors or MIC, as applicable.

G. Whenever in this Agreement the Board is permitted or required to make a decision in (i) its “sole and absolute discretion,” “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Board shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest or factors affecting the Company or the Members or any of them, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, the Directors shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise. If any question should arise with respect to the operation of the Company, which is not otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or the Act, or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, the Board is hereby authorized to make a final determination with respect to any such question and to interpret this Agreement in such a manner as it shall deem, in its sole discretion, to be fair and equitable, and its determination and interpretations so made shall be final and binding on all parties. The Board’s “sole and absolute discretion,” “sole discretion” and “discretion” under this Agreement shall be exercised consistently with the duty of care and the obligation of good faith and fair dealing under the Act (as modified by the Agreement).

H. Director Duties. Except for contractual duties expressly provided under this Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, no Director shall have any duties (including any fiduciary duties) to the Company, MIC, or any Subsidiary of the Company, or any of their respective direct and indirect stockholders, or to any Member or creditor of the Company, whether or not such duties arise or exist at law or in equity, other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and each Member and Director hereby expressly waives any such duties (including any fiduciary duties). The Directors, in their capacity as such, shall have no other duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Company, any Member or any other Person (including any creditor of the Company or any Member or any Assignee of Interest). The provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 7.8 shall create contractual obligations of the Directors only, and no such provision shall be interpreted to expand or modify the fiduciary duties of the Directors under the Act. The provisions of this Section 7.8, to the extent that they restrict or modify the duties and liabilities of the Directors under the Act or otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Directors. Each Director is entitled to a presumption that any act or failure to act on the part of the Director, and any decision or determination made by the Director, is presumed to satisfy the duties of a Director under the Act, modified as set forth in this Section 7.8, and no act or failure to act on the part of the Director, or decision or determination made by the Director (whether with respect to a change of control of the Company or otherwise) shall be subject to any duty, standard of conduct, burden of proof or scrutiny, whether at law or in equity, other than as set forth in this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the Board.

A. The Board may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

B. The Board may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Board reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

C. The Board shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized Directors, officers or agents and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact (including, without limitation, Directors and officers of the Company). Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the Board in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the Board hereunder.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the Board on behalf of the Company or any decision of the Board to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of MIC to qualify or re-qualify as a REIT, (ii) for MIC otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements, (iii) for MIC to avoid incurring any taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, or (iv) for any MIC

 

Page 62 of 113


Affiliate to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)) or “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(1)), is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Members and does not violate any duty or obligation, fiduciary or otherwise, of the Board to the Company or any other Member.

Section 7.10 Title to Company Assets. Title to Company assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively with other Members or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Company assets may be held in the name of the Company, MIC or one or more nominees, as the Board may determine, including Affiliates of MIC. MIC hereby declares and warrants that any Company assets for which legal title is held in the name of MIC or any nominee or Affiliate of MIC shall be held by MIC or such nominee or Affiliate for the use and benefit of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.

Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Board has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Member, or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Board as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Board in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Board or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Board or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by an Officer or other authorized person by or at the direction of the Board shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

The transaction of any such business by or at the direction of the Board, MIC, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, member, employee, partner, agent, representative or trustee of the Company, MIC or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Members or Assignees under this Agreement.

D. Upon written request by any Member, the Board shall cause the ownership of Units by such Member to be evidenced by a certificate for units in such form as the Board may determine with respect to any class of Units issued from time to time under this Agreement. Any officer of the Company may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the owner of such lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, shall be required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, to give the Company a bond in such sums as the Board may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company.

Article 10

TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Board shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by the Members for federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Members shall promptly provide the Company with such information relating to the Contributed Properties as is readily available to the Members, including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time.

Section 10.2 Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including, but not limited to, the election under Code Section 754, and any available tax elections under state or local tax law. The Board shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, any election under Code Section 754 or any applicable state or local tax law) upon the Board’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Members. In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Interest of any Member, the Company, at the option of the Board, may elect pursuant to Code Section 754 to adjust the tax basis of the Properties. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 5 of this Agreement but subject to subsection (iv) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, any adjustments made pursuant to Code Section 754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring Member and in no event shall be taken into account in establishing, maintaining or computing Capital Accounts for the other Members for any purpose under this Agreement. Each Member will furnish the Company with all information necessary to give effect to such election.

Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner; Partner Representative.

A. For each taxable year of the Company beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the Board shall designate MIC or another Person to be the partnership representative of the Company (the “Partnership Representative”) within the meaning of Code Section 6223 in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. If the Person designated by the Board to serve as the Partnership Representative is not an individual, the Board shall also appoint an individual (the “Designated Individual) through whom the Partnership Representative acts in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. The Board shall also designate a new Partnership Representative if the Partnership Representative resigns or is deemed ineligible or appoint a new Designated Individual if the Designated Individual resigns or is deemed ineligible. The Board is authorized to revoke and replace from time to time the Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual in accordance with Regulations Section 301.6223-1 and any other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. The Board shall make all designations and appointments under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws. The Partnership Representative shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code and Regulations (and, as applicable, analogous state, local and non-U.S. laws) for the Partnership Representative. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense

 

Page 67 of 113


by the Partnership Representative in connection with any applicable proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Partnership Representative, and the provisions relating to indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual, if any, acting as such.

B. Each Member agrees that such Member shall not treat any Company-related item inconsistently on such Member’s federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Member with respect to such Member’s interest in the Company (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226) will be paid by such Member. If the Company is required to pay (and actually pays) an imputed underpayment (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes, pursuant to Code Section 6225) with respect to a reviewed year, or bears the economic burden of imputed underpayments made by entities in which it is a member, such amounts paid will be treated as taxes paid on behalf of the appropriate Members (as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion) and recoverable from the reviewed-year Members in accordance with Section 10.4 or by any other reasonable means determined by the Board. To the extent that the Company or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, does not make an election under Code Sections 6221(b) (if available) or 6226, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c), and (ii) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Code Section 6225(c)(2), to the extent such amended return and payment of any related federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Company; similar principles shall apply under state, local and non-U.S. laws. Each Member shall, including any time after such Member withdraws from or otherwise ceases to be a Member, take all actions requested by the Board, including timely provision of requested information and consents in connection with implementing any elections or decisions made by the Company or the Partnership Representative (or Person acting in a similar capacity under similar or analogous state, local or non-U.S. laws) related to any tax audit or examination of the Company (including to implement any modifications to any imputed underpayment or similar amount under Code Section 6225(c), any elections under Code Sections 6221 or 6226 and any administrative adjustment request under Code Section 6227).

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any information, representations, certificates, forms, or documentation provided pursuant to this Section 10.3 may be disclosed to any applicable taxing authority. Each Member agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.3 at all times, including any time after such Member ceases to be a Member solely with respect to matters directly related to such Member’s interest in the Company, and the provisions of Section 7.8 shall survive the winding up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to Code Sections in this Section 10.3.C are to such Code Sections as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act (and any applicable subsequent amendments thereto).

Section 10.4 Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Board determines the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount withheld with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be treated as paid or distributed, as applicable, to such Member for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member, in excess of any such withheld amount, shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within thirty (30) days after the affected Member receives written notice from the Company that such payment must be made; provided, that the Member shall not be required to repay such deemed loan if either (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member or (ii) the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the Available Cash of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., thirty (30) days after the Member receives written notice of such amount) until such amount is paid in full.

Section 10.5 Organizational Expenses. The Board may cause the Company to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Company ratably over a 180-month period as provided in Code Section 709.

Article 11

MEMBER TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 11.1 Transfer.

A. No part of the Interest of a Member shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

B. No Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of an Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio.

C. No Transfer of any Interest may be made to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the Board; provided, however, that as a condition to such Consent, the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Company and MIC to redeem or exchange for the Shares Amount any Units in which a security interest is held by such lender simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a member in the Company for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Code Section 752 (provided, that for purpose of calculating the Shares Amount in this Section 11.1.C, “Tendered Common Units” shall mean all such Units in which a security interest is held by such lender).

Section 11.2 Transfer of MIC’s Interest.

A. Except as provided in this Section 11.2 and subject to the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, MIC shall not Transfer all or any portion of its Interests (whether by sale, disposition, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) without the Consent of the Common Members. It is a condition to any Transfer of an Interest of MIC otherwise permitted hereunder (including any Transfer permitted pursuant to Section 11.2.B or 11.2.C) that: (i) coincident with such Transfer, the transferee is admitted as a Member; (ii) the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of MIC under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Interest; and (iii) the transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Interest so acquired and the admission of such transferee as a Member.

B. Certain Transactions of MIC. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, MIC may not, without the Consent of the Non-MIC Members, transfer all of its Interests in connection with (a) a merger, consolidation or other combination of its or the Company’s assets with another entity, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of its or the Company’s assets not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or (c) a reclassification, recapitalization or change any of outstanding shares of MIC’s stock or other outstanding equity interests other than in connection with a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend change in par value, increase in authorized shares, designation or issuance of new classes of equity securities or any event that does not require the approval of MIC’s stockholders (each, a “Termination Transaction”) unless:

(1) in connection with such Termination Transaction, all of the Common Members will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive (and shall be provided the opportunity to make such an election if the holders of Shares generally are also provided such an opportunity), for each Unit an amount of cash, securities and/or other property equal to the product of the Adjustment Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Share in consideration of one Share pursuant to the terms of such Termination Transaction; provided, that if, in connection with such Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the outstanding Shares, each holder of Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such holder of Units would have received had it exercised its right to redemption pursuant to Article 15 hereof and received Shares in exchange for its Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or

(2) all of the following conditions are met: (w) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are owned directly or indirectly by the Company or another limited liability company or limited partnership which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Company (in each case, the “Surviving Company”); (x) the Common Members that held Common Units immediately prior to such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Company

 

Page 70 of 113


based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Company and the other net assets of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (y) the rights, preferences and privileges of Common Members in the Surviving Company are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Company (other than the holders of any preferred units therein); and (z) the rights of the Common Members include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Company for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Section 11.2.B(1) or (b) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Company for cash on terms substantially equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Company has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the Shares.

C. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), MIC may Transfer all of its Interests at any time to any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer an Affiliate of MIC, including any “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)), without the Consent of the Non-MIC Members. The provisions of Section 11.2.B, 11.3, 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not apply to any Transfer permitted by this Section 11.2.C.

D. MIC may not voluntarily withdraw as a Member of the Company without the Consent of the Non-MIC Members, except in connection with a Transfer of MIC’s entire Interest permitted in this Article 11 or in connection with a Termination Transaction and, in each case, upon the admission of the transferee as a successor Member of the Company pursuant to the Act and this Agreement.

E. Prior to the Approval Right Termination Date, MIC may not consummate (x) a Termination Transaction, (y) a merger, consolidation or other combination of the assets of the Company with another entity or (z) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in each case which transaction (a “Stockholder Vote Transaction”) is submitted for the approval of the holders of Shares of MIC (a “Stockholder Vote”) unless: (i) MIC first provides the Common Members with advance notice at least equal in time to the advance notice given to holders of Shares in connection with such Stockholder Vote, (ii) in connection with such advance notice, MIC provides the Common Members with written materials describing the proposed Stockholder Vote Transaction (which may consist of the proxy statement or registration statement used in connection with the Stockholder Vote) and (iii) the Stockholder Vote Transaction is approved by the holders of the Common Units (the “Company Vote”) at the same level of approval as required for the Stockholder Vote (for example, (x) if the approval of holders of outstanding Shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter is required to approve the Stockholder Vote Transaction in the Stockholder Vote, then the approval of holders of outstanding Common Units (including votes deemed to be cast by MIC) entitled to cast a majority of votes entitled to be cast on the matter will be required to approve the Stockholder Vote Transaction in the Company Vote or (y) if the approval of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding Shares present at a meeting of such holders at which a quorum is present is required to approve the Stockholder Vote

 

Page 71 of 113


Transaction in the Stockholder Vote, then the approval of a majority of the votes cast (including votes deemed to be cast by MIC) by holders of outstanding Common Units present at a meeting of such holders at which a quorum is present will be required to approve the Stockholder Vote Transaction in the Company Vote). For purposes of the Company Vote, (i) each Member holding Common Units (other than MIC or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the total number of Common Units held by such Member as of the record date for the Stockholder Meeting, and (ii) MIC and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to vote thereon and shall instead be deemed to have cast a number of votes equal to the sum of (x) the total number of Common Units held by MIC as of the Record Date for the Stockholder Meeting divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect plus (y) the total number of shares of unvested restricted Shares with respect to which MIC does not hold back-to-back Common Units as of the Record Date for the Stockholder Meeting, in proportion to the manner in which all outstanding Shares were voted in the Stockholder Vote (for example, “For,” “Against,” “Abstain” and “Not Present”). Any such Company Vote will be taken in accordance with Section 14.3 below (including Section 14.3.B thereof permitting actions to be taken by written consent without a meeting), mutatis mutandis to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2.E, except that, solely for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Members at which a Company Vote will occur, MIC shall be considered to be entitled to cast at such meeting all votes that MIC will be deemed to have cast in such Company Vote as provided in this Section 11.2.E.

Section 11.3 Members’ Rights to Transfer.

A. General. Prior to the end of the Initial Holding Period, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Interest to any transferee without the consent of the Board; provided, however, that any Member may, at any time, without the consent or approval of the Board, (i) Transfer all or part of its Interest to any Family Member (including a Transfer by a Family Member that is an inter vivos or testamentary trust (whether revocable or irrevocable) to a Family Member that is a beneficiary of such trust), any Charity, any Controlled Entity or any Affiliate, or (ii) pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its Interest to a lending institution that is not an Affiliate of such Member as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and, except as provided in Section 11.1.C, Transfer such pledged Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension of credit (any Transfer or Pledge permitted by this proviso is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”). After such Initial Holding Period, each Member, and each transferee of Units or Assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Interest to any Person without the consent of the Board, subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1.C and 11.4 hereof and to satisfaction of each of the following conditions (in addition to the right of such Member or permitted transferee thereof to continue to make Permitted Transfers without the need to satisfy clauses (1) through (4) below):

(1) MIC Right of First Refusal. The transferor Member (or the Member’s estate in the event of the Member’s death) shall give written notice of the proposed Transfer to MIC, which notice shall state (i) the identity and address of the proposed transferee and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the Transferred Units. MIC shall have ten (10) Business Days upon which to give the transferor Member notice of its election to acquire the Units on the terms set forth in such notice. If it so elects, it shall purchase the Units on such terms within ten (10) Business Days after giving notice of

 

Page 72 of 113


such election; provided, however, that such closing may be deferred to the extent necessary to effect compliance with the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act, if applicable, and any other applicable requirements of law. If it does not so elect, the transferor Member may Transfer such Units to a third party, on terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 11.3.

(2) Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of an Interest shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee provided, however, that, for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; and provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction of Section 11.3.A(4) hereof may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.

(3) Opinion of Counsel. The transferor Member shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Board an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Interests Transferred; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition upon the request of the transferor Member. If, in the opinion of such counsel, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Units, the Board may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 by a Member of Interests.

(4) Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any Transferring Member must Transfer not less than the lesser of (i) five hundred (500) Units or (ii) all of the remaining Units owned by such Transferring Member, without, in each case, the consent of the Board; provided, however that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Units owned by Affiliates of a Member shall be considered to be owned by such Member.

(5) Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(4) hereof shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer.

It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is a Permitted Transfer or effected during or after the Initial Holding Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Member are assumed by a successor entity by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Interest shall be subject to any and all restrictions on ownership or transfer of shares of stock of MIC contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.

 

Page 73 of 113


B. Incapacity. If a Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Members, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.

C. Adverse Tax Consequences. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent the Company from being taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with the consent of the Board, no Transfer by a Member of its Interests (including any redemption, any conversion of LTIP Units or Performance Units into Common Units, any exercise of Class A Units for Common Units, any other acquisition of Units by the Board or any acquisition of Units by the Company) may be made to or by any Person if such Transfer could (i) result in the Company being treated as an association taxable as a corporation, (ii) be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, (iii) result in the Company being unable to qualify for one or more of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704) (the “Safe Harbors”) or could cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant Code Section 7704 or successor provisions of the Code (as determined by the Board) or (iv) based on the advice of counsel to the Company or MIC, adversely affect the ability of MIC to qualify or re-qualify as a REIT or subject MIC to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981.

D. Restrictions Not Applicable to Redemptions or Conversions. The provisions of this Section 11.3 (other than Section 11.3.C) shall not apply to the redemption of Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1 or the redemption or conversion of any other Units pursuant to the terms of any Unit Designation.

Section 11.4 Admission of Substituted Members.

A. No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Member in its place. A transferee of the Interest of a Member may be admitted as a Substituted Member only with the consent of the Board. The failure or refusal by the Board to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or any Director. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member until and unless it furnishes to the Board (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the Board may require in its sole discretion, to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Member.

 

Page 74 of 113


B. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Member, the Board shall update (or direct the update of) the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number and class and/or series of Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member.

C. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement.

Section 11.5 Assignees. If the Board does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Member, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, or in the event that any Interest is deemed to have been Transferred notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Article 11, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the Interest assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Interest provided in this Article 11, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Interest for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 15.1 hereof), and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Interest on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Member). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further Transfer of any such Interest, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make a Transfer of an Interest.

Section 11.6 General Provisions.

A. No Member may withdraw from the Company other than as a result of (i) a permitted Transfer of all of such Member’s Interest in accordance with this Article 11, with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Member, (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by MIC) of all of its Interest pursuant to a redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Unit Designation or (iii) an acquisition by MIC of all of such Member’s Interest, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof.

B. Any Member who shall Transfer all of its Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its Units pursuant to Sections 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Unit Designation or (iii) to MIC, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, shall cease to be a Member.

 

Page 75 of 113


C. If any Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or is redeemed by the Company, or acquired by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Unit for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a redemption, to the transferee Member, by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the Board. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, unless the Board decides to use another method permitted under the Code, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Member and none of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be), if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such Unit with respect to which the Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or redemption shall be made to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a redemption, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Unit shall be made to the transferee Member.

D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of an Interest by any Member (including any redemption, any conversion or exercise, as applicable, of LTIP Units, Performance Units or Class A Units into Common Units, any acquisition of Units by MIC or any other acquisition of Units by the Company) be made: (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own an Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the consent of the Board, of any component portion of an Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of an Interest; (iv) if MIC qualifies or intends to qualify as a REIT, in the event that such Transfer could cause either MIC or any MIC Affiliate to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements or to cease to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)); (v) except with the consent of the Board, if such Transfer could, based on the advice of counsel to the Company or MIC, cause a termination of the Company for federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption (or acquisition by MIC) of all Units held by all Members); (vi) if such Transfer could, based on the advice of legal counsel to the Company, cause the Company to be classified as other than a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption (or acquisition by MIC) of all Units held by all Members); (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c)); (viii) if such Transfer could, based on the advice of counsel to the Company or MIC, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (ix) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (x) except with the consent of the Board, if such Transfer (1) could be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, (2) could cause the Company to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b), (3) could be in violation of Section 3.4.C(iii), or (4) could cause the Company to fail one or more of the Safe Harbors; (xi) if such Transfer causes the Company (as opposed to MIC) to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or

 

Page 76 of 113


(xii) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended. The Board shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to take all action necessary to prevent the Company from being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under Code Section 7704.

E. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Company, unless the Board otherwise consents.

Article 12

ADMISSION OF MEMBERS

Section 12.1 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Members.

A. A Person (other than an existing Member) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Company in exchange for Units and in accordance with this Agreement, or is issued LTIP Units or Performance Units in exchange for no consideration in accordance with Section 4.2.B hereof, shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member only upon furnishing to the Board (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Person and (iii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Member. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional Member, the Board shall update the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number and classes and/or series of Units of such Additional Member. For avoidance of doubt, a holder of Class A Units to the extent not already a Member shall only be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member in connection with the issuance of Common Units upon exercise of such Class A Units for Common Units following compliance with the preceding sentences of this Section 12.2.A.

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Member without the consent of the Board. The admission of any Person as an Additional Member shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Company, following the consent of the Board to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.A.

C. If any Additional Member is admitted to the Company on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Member and all other Holders by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the Board. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Member occurs shall be allocated among all the Holders including such Additional Member, in accordance with the principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof.

All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Members and Assignees other than the Additional Member, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the Members and Assignees including such Additional Member.

D. Any Additional Member admitted to the Company that is an Affiliate of MIC shall be deemed to be a “MIC Affiliate” hereunder and shall be reflected as such on the Register and the books and records of the Company.

Section 12.3 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate. For the admission to the Company of any Member, the Board shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to update the Register, amend the records of the Company and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

Section 12.4 Limit on Number of Members.

Article 13

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 13.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Members or Additional Members. However, the Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):

A. an election to dissolve the Company made by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, with the Consent of the Common Members;

B. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act; or

C. the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining Member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining Member of the Company in the Company unless the Company is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act.

Section 13.2 Winding Up.

 

Page 78 of 113


A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and the Holders. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Holder shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs. The Board (or, in the event that there are no remaining Directors, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Members (the Board or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Board, in consultation with MIC, include shares of stock in MIC) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(1) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(2) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to MIC (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including, but not limited to, amounts due as reimbursements under Section 7.4 hereof;

(3) Third, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to the other Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

(4) Fourth, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for all prior periods and the Company taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of the liquidating distribution set forth in this Section 13.2.A(4)).

The Liquidator shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13, other than reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 7.4.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interests of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

C. If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), except as otherwise agreed to by such Holder, such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

D. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Board or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holders pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

(1) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Liquidator and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Liquidator arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or

(2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2.A hereof as soon as practicable.

Section 13.3 Deemed Contribution and Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event that the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Company’s Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal income tax purposes the Company shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and immediately thereafter, distributed Units to the Members in the new partnership in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the Company, and the new partnership is deemed to continue the business of the Company. Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be deemed to have constituted a Transfer to an Assignee as a Substituted Member without compliance with the provisions of Section 11.4 or Section 13.3 hereof.

Section 13.4 Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

Section 13.5 Notice of Dissolution. In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Members pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Company, the Board or Liquidator shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each Holder and, in the Board’s or Liquidator’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board or Liquidator), and the Board or Liquidator may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board or Liquidator).

Section 13.6 Cancellation of Certificate of Formation. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Company shall be terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed with the SOS, all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company or association in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be cancelled, and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.

Section 13.7 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Members during the period of liquidation; provided, however, reasonable efforts shall be made to complete such winding-up within twenty-four (24) months after the adoption of a plan of liquidation of MIC, as provided in Code Section 562(b)(1)(B), if necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of Board.

Article 14

PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS

OF MEMBERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

Section 14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Members. The actions requiring Consent of any Member pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14.

Section 14.2 Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Board or by Members holding twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Interests held by Members and, except as set forth in Section 7.3.C and subject to Sections 7.3.D, 18.10 and 19.10 and the rights of any Holder of any Interest set forth in a Unit Designation, shall be approved by the Consent of the Members. Following such proposal, the Board shall submit to the Members entitled to vote thereon any proposed amendment that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, requires the consent, approval or vote of such Members. The Board shall seek the consent, approval or vote of the Members entitled to vote thereon on any such proposed amendment in accordance with Section 14.3 hereof. Upon obtaining any such Consent, or any other Consent required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including any Member, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the Board, and (ii) the Members shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the Consent of MIC.

Section 14.3 Meetings of the Members.

A. Meetings of the Members may be called only by the Board to transact any business that the Board determines. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members entitled to act at the meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Members is required by this Agreement, the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interests held by the Members entitled to act on any proposal shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Members. Whenever the vote, consent or approval of Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of Members or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B hereof.

B. Any action requiring the Consent of any Member or group of Members pursuant to this Agreement or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Members whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting of the Members. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Members at a meeting of the Members. Such consent shall be filed with the Company. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the Board may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Board’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.

C. Each Member entitled to act at a meeting of the Members may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Company’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

D. The Board may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining the Members (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Members or (iii) in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Members, not less than five (5) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held or Consent is to be given. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members shall be at the close of business on the day on

 

Page 82 of 113


which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the record date for any other determination of Members shall be the effective date of such Member action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

E. Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Board or such other Person as the Board may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Board or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Members may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of MIC’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of MIC’s stockholders.

Article 15

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 15.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties.

A. After the expiration of the applicable Initial Holding Period, a Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units held by a Tendering Party (Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Common Units”) in exchange (a “Redemption”) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date. The Company may, in MIC’s sole and absolute discretion, redeem Tendered Common Units at the request of the Qualifying Party prior to the end of the applicable Initial Holding Period (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the expiration of the applicable Specified Redemption Date)) (a “Special Redemption”); provided, however, that MIC first receives a legal opinion to the same effect as the legal opinion described in Section 15.1.G(4) of this Agreement. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Common Unit Notice of Redemption delivered to MIC by the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the “Tendering Party”). The Company’s obligation to effect a Redemption, however, shall not arise or be binding against the Company until the earlier of (i) the date MIC notifies the Tendering Party that it declines to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units under Section 15.1.B hereof following receipt of a Common Unit Notice of Redemption and (ii) the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date. In the event of a Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in MIC’s sole and absolute discretion, in immediately available funds, in each case, on or before the Specified Redemption Date.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A hereof, on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, MIC may, in its sole and absolute discretion but subject to the Ownership Limit (which shall only be applicable so long as MIC qualifies as or intends to qualify as a REIT), elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for Shares. If MIC elects to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, MIC shall give written notice thereof to the Tendering Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. If MIC elects to acquire any of the Tendered Common Units for Shares, MIC shall issue and deliver such Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.1.B, in which case (1) MIC shall assume directly the obligation with respect thereto and shall satisfy the Tendering Party’s exercise of its Redemption Right with

 

Page 83 of 113


respect to such Tendered Common Units and (2) such transaction shall be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a transfer by the Tendering Party of such Tendered Common Units to MIC in exchange for the Shares Amount. If MIC so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell such number of the Tendered Common Units to MIC in exchange for a number of Shares equal to the product of the Shares Amount and the Applicable Percentage. The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as MIC may reasonably require in connection with the application of the Ownership Limit to any such acquisition and (ii) such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions and other instruments as reasonably necessary, in MIC’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of a purchase of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right to cause the Company to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Common Units and, upon notice to the Tendering Party by MIC, given on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, that MIC has elected to acquire some or all of the Tendered Common Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the obligation of the Company to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Common Units as to which MIC’s notice relates shall not accrue or arise. A number of Shares equal to the product of the Shares Amount and the Applicable Percentage shall be delivered by MIC as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit and, to the extent applicable, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Neither any Tendering Party whose Tendered Common Units are acquired by MIC pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, any Member, any Assignee nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause MIC to register, qualify or list any Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between MIC and any such Person. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such Shares and such Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise all rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. Shares issued upon an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to this Section 15.1.B may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as MIC in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A and 15.1.B hereof and so long as MIC qualifies as a REIT, the Tendering Parties shall have no rights under this Agreement that would otherwise be prohibited by the Ownership Limit. To the extent that any attempted Redemption or acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof would be in violation of this Section 15.1.C, it shall be null and void ab initio, and the Tendering Party shall not acquire any rights or economic interests in Shares otherwise issuable by MIC under Section 15.1.B hereof or cash otherwise payable under Section 15.1.A hereof.

 

Page 84 of 113


D. If MIC does not elect to acquire the Tendered Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof:

(1) The Company may elect to raise funds for the payment of the Cash Amount either (a) by requiring that MIC contribute to the Company funds from the proceeds of a registered public offering by MIC of Shares sufficient to purchase the Tendered Common Units or (b) from any other sources (including, but not limited to, the sale of any Property and the incurrence of additional Debt) available to the Company. Any proceeds from a public offering that are in excess of the Cash Amount shall be for the sole benefit of MIC. MIC shall make a Capital Contribution of any such amounts to the Company for an additional Interest. Any such contribution shall entitle MIC to an equitable Percentage Interest adjustment.

(2) If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate).

E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.B hereof, MIC shall not, under any circumstances, elect to acquire any Tendered Common Units in exchange for Shares if such exchange would be prohibited under the Charter.

F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 15.1.C hereof), with respect to any Redemption (or any tender of Common Units for Redemption if the Tendered Common Units are acquired by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof) pursuant to this Section 15.1:

(1) All Common Units acquired by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be an Interest comprised of the same number of Common Units.

(2) Subject to the Ownership Limit, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less than one thousand (1,000) Common Units or, if such Tendering Party holds (as a Common Member or, economically, as an Assignee) less than one thousand (1,000) Common Units, all of the Common Units held by such Tendering Party, without, in each case, the Consent of MIC.

(3) If (i) a Tendering Party surrenders its Tendered Common Units during the period after the Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by MIC for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Company distribution, and (ii) MIC elects to acquire any of such Tendered Common Units in exchange for Shares pursuant to Section 15.1.B, such Tendering Party shall pay to MIC on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Company distribution in respect of the Tendered Common Units exchanged for Shares, insofar as such distribution relates to the same period for which such Tendering Party would receive a distribution in respect of such Shares.

 

Page 85 of 113


(4) The consummation of such Redemption (or an acquisition of Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, as the case may be) shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

(5) The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof) all Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Common Member or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Common Units are either paid for by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1.A hereof or transferred to MIC and paid for, by the issuance of the Shares, pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of MIC with respect to the Shares issuable in connection with such acquisition.

G. In connection with an exercise of the Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 15.1, except as otherwise agreed by MIC, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Tendering Party shall submit the following to MIC, in addition to the Common Unit Notice of Redemption:

(1) A written affidavit, dated the same date as the Common Unit Notice of Redemption, (a) disclosing the actual and constructive ownership, as determined for purposes of Code Sections 856(a)(6) and 856(h), of Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) to the best of their knowledge any Related Party and (b) representing that, after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party will own Shares in violation of the Ownership Limit;

(2) A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date; and

(3) An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of (i) the Redemption or (ii) the acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date, that either (a) the actual and constructive ownership of Shares by the Tendering Party and to the best of their knowledge any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed in the affidavit required by Section 15.1.G(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Common Units by MIC pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party shall own Shares in violation of the Ownership Limit.

(4) In connection with any Special Redemption, MIC shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Company or MIC to violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Special Redemption, the issuance and sale of the Tendered Common Units to the Tendering Party or the issuance and sale of Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to Section 15.1.B of this Agreement.

H. Holders of LTIP Units and Performance Units and holders of Class A Units shall not be entitled to the right of Redemption provided for in Section 15.1 of this Agreement, unless and until such LTIP Units, Performance Units or Class A Units, as applicable, have been converted into or exercised for, as applicable, Common Units (or any other class or series of Common Units entitled to such right of Redemption) in accordance with their terms.

Section 15.7 Waiver.

A.

B. The restrictions, conditions and other limitations on the rights and benefits of the Members contained in this Agreement, and the duties, covenants and other requirements of performance or notice by the Members, are for the benefit of the Company and, except for an obligation to pay money to the Company, may be waived or relinquished by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Company in one or more instances from time to time and at any time; provided, however, that any such waiver or relinquishment may not be made if it would have the effect of (i) creating liability for any Member, (ii) causing the Company to cease to qualify as a limited liability company, (iii) reducing the amount of cash otherwise distributable to the Members (other than any such reduction that affects all of the Members holding the same

Section 15.11 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

Section 15.12 Limitation to Preserve REIT Status. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement and if MIC qualifies as a REIT or intends to qualify as a REIT, to the extent that the amount to be paid, credited, distributed or reimbursed by the Company to any REIT Member or its officers, trustees, employees or agents, whether as a reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment”), would constitute gross income to the REIT Member for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or Code Section 856(c)(3), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the Board in its discretion from among items of potential distribution, reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any Fiscal Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, for or with respect to such REIT Member shall not exceed the lesser of:

A. an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the REIT Member’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)) for the Fiscal Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(2)) derived by the REIT Member from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)); or

B. an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-four percent (24%) of the REIT Member’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)) for the Fiscal Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)) derived by the REIT Member from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and any amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)); provided, however, that REIT Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above may be made if MIC, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts should not adversely affect the REIT Member’s ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Fiscal Year as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.12, such REIT Payments shall carry over and shall be treated as arising in the following Fiscal Year if such carry over does not adversely affect the REIT Member’s ability to qualify as a REIT, provided, however, that any such REIT Payment shall not be carried over more than three Fiscal Years, and any such remaining payments shall no longer be due and payable. The purpose of the limitations contained in this Section 15.12 is to prevent any REIT Member from failing to qualify as a REIT under the Code by reason of such REIT Member’s share of items, including distributions, reimbursements, fees, expenses or indemnities, receivable directly or indirectly from the Company, and this Section 15.12 shall be interpreted and applied to effectuate such purpose.

The Company shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between LTIP Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures; provided, that the foregoing is not intended to alter any of (a) the special allocations pursuant to Section 6.2.F hereof, (b) differences between distributions to be made with respect to LTIP Units and Common Units pursuant to Section 13.2 and Section 19.4.B hereof in the event that the Capital Accounts attributable to the LTIP Units are less than those attributable to Common Units due to insufficient special allocation pursuant to Section 6.2.F or (c) any related provisions. If an Adjustment Event occurs, then the Board shall take any action reasonably necessary, including any amendment to this Agreement or any LTIP Unit Agreement and/or any update to the Register, adjusting the number of outstanding LTIP Units or subdividing or combining outstanding LTIP Units, in any case, to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Common Units and LTIP Units. The following shall be “Adjustment Events”: (i) the Company makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Units, (ii) the Company subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of units, (iii) the Company issues any Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units or (iv) any other non-recurring event or transaction that would, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, have the similar effect of unjustly diluting or expanding the rights conferred by outstanding LTIP Units or Performance Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, any adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Units to MIC in respect of a Capital Contribution to the Company of proceeds from the sale of securities by MIC. If the Company takes an action affecting the Common

 

Page 100 of 113


Units other than actions specifically described above as “Adjustment Events” and in the opinion of the Board such action would require an action to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the Board shall have the right to take such action, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner and at such time as the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to preserve the one-to-one correspondence described above. If an amendment is made to this Agreement adjusting the number of outstanding LTIP Units as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file in the books and records of the Company an officer’s certificate setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

Section 19.4 Distributions.

A. Operating Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in any LTIP Unit Agreement or by the Board with respect to any particular class or series of LTIP Units, Holders of LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the Board out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, regular, special, extraordinary or other distributions (other than distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction) which may be made from time to time, in an amount per unit equal to the amount of any such distributions that would have been payable to such holders if the LTIP Units had been Common Units (if applicable, assuming such LTIP Units were held for the entire period to which such distributions relate).

B. Liquidating Distributions. Holders of LTIP Units shall also be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the Board out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or representing proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction in an amount per LTIP Unit equal to the amount of any such distributions payable on one Common Unit, whether made prior to, on or after the LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date, provided that the amount of such distributions shall not exceed the positive balances of the Capital Accounts of the holders of such LTIP Units to the extent attributable to the ownership of such LTIP Units.

C. Distributions Generally. Distributions on the LTIP Units, if authorized, shall be payable on such dates and in such manner as may be authorized by the Board (any such date, an “LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date”). Absent a contrary determination by the Board, the LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date shall be the same as the corresponding date relating to the corresponding distribution on the Common Units. The record date for determining which Holders of LTIP Units are entitled to receive a distribution shall be the Record Date.

Section 19.5 Allocations. Holders of LTIP Units shall be allocated Net Income and Net Loss in amounts per LTIP Unit equal to the amounts allocated per Common Unit. The allocations provided by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Sections 6.2.B and 6.2.C and in addition to any special allocations required by Section 6.2.F. The Board is authorized in its discretion to delay or accelerate the participation of the LTIP Units in allocations of Net Income and Net Loss under this Section 19.5, or to adjust the allocations made under this Section 19.5, so that the ratio of (a)

 

Page 101 of 113


the total amount of Net Income or Net Loss allocated with respect to each LTIP Unit in the taxable year in which that LTIP Unit’s LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date falls (excluding special allocations under Section 6.2.F), to (b) the total amount distributed to that LTIP Unit with respect to such period, is more nearly equal to the ratio of (i) the Net Income and Net Loss allocated with respect to MIC’s Common Units in such taxable year to (ii) the amounts distributed to MIC with respect to such Common Units and such taxable year.

Section 19.6 Transfers. Subject to the terms and limitations contained in an applicable LTIP Unit Agreement and the Plans (or any other applicable Equity Plan), and except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to LTIP Units, a Holder of LTIP Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions, as Holders of Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article 11.

Section 19.7 Redemption. The Redemption Right provided to Qualifying Parties under Section 15.1 shall not apply with respect to LTIP Units unless and until they are converted to Common Units as provided in Section 19.9 below.

Section 19.8 Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Board, indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation under any LTIP Unit Agreement and the Plans (or any other applicable Equity Plan), apply to the LTIP Unit.

Section 19.9 Conversion to Common Units.

A. A Qualifying Party holding LTIP Units shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units, taking into account all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 19.3; provided, however, that a Qualifying Party may not exercise the Conversion Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Vested LTIP Units or, if such Qualifying Party holds less than one thousand (1,000) Vested LTIP Units, all of the Vested LTIP Units held by such Qualifying Party, to the extent not subject to the limitation on conversion under Section 19.9.B below. Qualifying Parties shall not have the right to convert Unvested LTIP Units into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units; provided, however, that in anticipation of any event that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units to become Vested LTIP Units (and subject to the timing requirements set forth in Section 19.9.B below), such Qualifying Party may give the Company a Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting and such Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the Qualifying Party in writing prior to such vesting event, shall be accepted by the Company subject to such condition. In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 19.9.

B. A Qualifying Party may convert his or her Vested LTIP Units into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 19.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a Qualifying Party convert a number of Vested LTIP Units that exceeds the Capital Account Limitation. In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a Qualifying Party shall deliver a notice (a “Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Company (with a copy to MIC) not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) days prior to a date (the “Conversion Date”) specified in such

 

Page 102 of 113


Conversion Notice; provided, however, that if the Company has not given to the Qualifying Party notice of a proposed or upcoming Transaction (as defined below) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such Transaction, then the Qualifying Party shall have the right to deliver a Conversion Notice until the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) day after such notice from the Company of a Transaction or (y) the third (3rd) Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such Transaction. A Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.2. Each Qualifying Party seeking to convert Vested LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Company that all Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 19.9 shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initial Holding Period with respect to the Common Units into which the Vested LTIP Units are convertible has elapsed, a Qualifying Party may deliver a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 15.1.A relating to such Common Units in advance of the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the Company shall in no event take place until on or after the Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a Qualifying Party in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1.A simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if MIC elects to assume the Company’s redemption obligation with respect to such Units under Section 15.1.B by delivering to such Qualifying Party Shares rather than cash, then such Qualifying Party can have such Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units. MIC shall cooperate with a Qualifying Party to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.

C. The Company, at any time at the election of the Board, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units to be converted (a “Forced Conversion”) into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 19.3; provided, however, that the Board may not cause a Forced Conversion of any LTIP Units that would not at the time be eligible for conversion at the option of such Qualifying Party pursuant to Section 19.9.B. In order to exercise its right of Forced Conversion, the Company shall deliver a notice (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D to the applicable Holder of LTIP Units not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Conversion Date specified in such Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.2.

D. A conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the Holder thereof has given a Conversion Notice or the Company has given a Forced Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date without any action on the part of such Holder of LTIP Units, other than the surrender of any certificate or certificates evidencing such Vested LTIP Units, as of which time such Holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Company as of the opening of business on the next day with the number of Common Units into which such LTIP Units were converted. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver to such Holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the Company certifying the number of Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such person immediately after such conversion. The Assignee of any Member pursuant to Article 11 hereof may exercise the rights of such Member pursuant to this Section 19.9 and such Member shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by the Assignee.

 

Page 103 of 113


E. For purposes of making future allocations under Section 6.2.F and applying the Capital Account Limitation, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable Holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of LTIP Units converted and the Common Unit Economic Balance.

F. If the Company or MIC shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self-tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an Adjustment Event) in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the Holders shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transaction”), then the Company shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise its right to cause a Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Company were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the Board in good faith using the value attributed to the Common Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction). In anticipation of such Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a Holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such Holder is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that Holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of LTIP Units of such opportunity, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford the Holder of LTIP Units the right to elect, by written notice to the Company, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such Holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a Holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such Holder (and any of his or her transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a Holder of Common Units would receive if such Holder of Common Units failed to make such an election. Subject to the rights of the Company and MIC under any LTIP Unit Agreement and the relevant terms of the Plan or any other applicable Equity Plan, the Company shall use commercially reasonable effort to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 19.9.F and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any Holder of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the Qualifying Parties that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the Holder of LTIP Units.

Section 19.10 Voting. Members holding LTIP Units shall have the same voting rights as Members holding Common Units, with the LTIP Units and Performance Units voting together as a single class with the Common Units and having one vote per LTIP Unit and Holders of LTIP Units shall not be entitled to approve, vote on or consent to any other matter. The foregoing voting provision will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be effected, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted or provision is made for such conversion to occur as of or prior to such time into Common Units.

Section 19.11 Tax Treatment. The LTIP Units and Performance Units are intended to be treated for tax purposes as “profits interests” within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343, and Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191. The receipt and issuance of the LTIP Units and Performance Units are intended to be treated as a non-taxable event for the Company and the Holder of LTIP Units or Performance Units to whom such Units are issued. Each Member authorizes the Board to elect to apply the safe harbor (the “Section 83 Safe Harbor”) set forth in proposed Regulations Section 1.83-3(1) and proposed IRS Revenue Procedure published in Notice 2005-43 (together, the “Proposed Section 83 Safe Harbor Regulation”) (under which the fair market value of an Interest that is Transferred in connection with the performance of services is treated as being equal to the liquidation value of the interest), or in similar Regulations or guidance, if such Proposed Section 83 Safe Harbor Regulation or similar Regulations are promulgated as final or temporary Regulations. If the Board determines that the Company should make such election, the Board is hereby authorized to amend this Agreement without the consent of any other Member to provide that (i) the Company is authorized and directed to elect the Section 83 Safe Harbor, (ii) the Company and each of its Members (including any Person to whom an Interest, including an LTIP Unit or Performance Unit, is Transferred in connection with the performance of services) will comply with all requirements of the Section 83 Safe Harbor with respect to all Interests Transferred in connection with the performance of services while such election remains in effect and (iii) the Company and each of its Members will take all actions necessary, including providing the Company with any required information, to permit the Company to comply with the requirements set forth or referred to in the applicable Regulations for such election to be effective until such time (if any) as the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company should terminate such election. The Board is further authorized to amend this Agreement to modify Article 6 to the extent the Board determines in its discretion that such modification is necessary or desirable as a result of the issuance of any applicable law, Regulations, notice or ruling relating to the tax treatment of the transfer of Interests in connection with the performance of services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Member expressly confirms that it will be legally bound by any such amendment.

Article 20

PERFORMANCE UNITS

Section 20.1 Designation.

A class of Units in the Company designated as the “Performance Units” is hereby established. The number of Performance Units that may be issued is not limited by this Agreement.

 

Page 105 of 113


Section 20.2 Vesting.

A. Vesting, Generally. Performance Units may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on Transfer pursuant to the terms of the applicable Performance Unit Agreement. The terms of any Performance Unit Agreement may be modified by the Board from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Performance Unit Agreement or by the Plan or any other applicable Equity Plan. Performance Units that were fully vested and nonforfeitable when issued or that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Performance Unit Agreement are referred to as “Vested Performance Units”; all other Performance Units are referred to as “Unvested Performance Units.”

B. Forfeiture. Upon the forfeiture of any Performance Units in accordance with the applicable Performance Unit Agreement (including any forfeiture effected through repurchase), the Performance Units so forfeited (or repurchased) shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Performance Unit Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any Performance Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with respect to a Record Date and with respect to such units prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.3.A(9)), the Plans (or other applicable Equity Plan) and the applicable Performance Unit Agreement, in connection with any forfeiture (or repurchase) of such units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the Holder of Performance Units that is attributable to all of his or her Performance Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 6.2.F, calculated with respect to such Holder’s remaining Performance Units, if any.

Section 20.3 Adjustments. The Company shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between Performance Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures; provided, that the foregoing is not intended to alter any of (a) the special allocations pursuant to Section 6.2.F hereof, (b) differences between distributions to be made with respect to Performance Units and Common Units pursuant to Section 13.2, Section 20.4.A and Section 20.4.B hereof in the event that the Capital Accounts attributable to the Performance Units are less than those attributable to Common Units due to insufficient special allocation pursuant to Section 6.2.F or (c) any related provisions. If an Adjustment Event (as defined in Section 19.3, taking into account events that are not considered Adjustment Events thereunder) occurs, then the Board shall take any action reasonably necessary, including any amendment to this Agreement or any Performance Unit Agreement and/or any update to the Register, adjusting the number of outstanding Performance Units or subdividing or combining outstanding Performance Units, in any case, to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Common Units and Performance Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, any adjustment to the Performance Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. If the Company takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described in Section 19.3 as Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the Board such action would require an action to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the Board shall have the right to take such action, to the extent

 

Page 106 of 113


permitted by law, in such manner and at such time as the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to preserve the one-to-one correspondence described above. If an amendment is made to this Agreement adjusting the number of outstanding Performance Units as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file in the books and records of the Company an officer’s certificate setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder of Performance Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her Performance Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

Section 20.4 Distributions.

A. Operating Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in any Performance Unit Agreement or by the Board with respect to any particular class or series of Performance Units, Holders of Performance Units shall be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the Board out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, regular, special, extraordinary or other distributions (other than distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction) which may be made from time to time, in an amount per Performance Unit equal to (i) in the case of Unvested Performance Units, the product of the distribution made to holders of Common Units per Common Unit multiplied by the Performance Unit Sharing Percentage, and (ii) in the case of a Vested Performance Units, the distribution made to holders of Common Units per Common Unit, in each case, if applicable, assuming such Performance Units were held for the entire period to which such distributions relate.

B. Liquidating Distributions. Holders of Performance Units shall also be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the Board out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or representing proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction in an amount per Performance Unit equal to the amount of any such distributions payable on one Common Unit, whether made prior to, on or after the Performance Unit Distribution Payment Date, provided that the amount of such distributions shall not exceed the positive balances of the Capital Accounts of the holders of such Performance Units to the extent attributable to the ownership of such Performance Units.

C. Distributions Generally. Distributions on the Performance Units, if authorized, shall be payable on such dates and in such manner as may be authorized by the Board (any such date, a “Performance Unit Distribution Payment Date”). Absent a contrary determination by the Board, the Performance Unit Distribution Payment Date shall be the same as the corresponding date relating to the corresponding distribution on the Common Units, and the record date for determining which Holders of Performance Units are entitled to receive distributions shall be the Record Date.

Section 20.5 Allocations.

A. Holders of Vested Performance Units shall be allocated Net Income and Net Loss in amounts per Performance Unit equal to the amounts allocated per Common Unit. The allocations provided by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Sections 6.2.B and 6.2.C and in addition to any special allocations required by Section 6.2.F.

 

Page 107 of 113


B. The holder of such Unvested Performance Units shall be allocated Net Income and Net Loss in amounts per Unvested Performance Unit equal to the amounts allocated per Vested Performance Unit; provided, however, that for purposes of allocations of Net Income and Net Loss pursuant to Sections 6.2.B, 6.2.C and 6.3, the term Percentage Interest when used with respect to an Unvested Performance Unit shall be treated as a fraction of one outstanding Common Unit equal to one Common Unit multiplied by the Performance Unit Sharing Percentage.

C. The Board is authorized in its discretion to delay or accelerate the participation of the Performance Units in allocations of Net Income and Net Loss under this Section 20.5, or to adjust the allocations made under this Section 20.5, so that the ratio of (a) the total amount of Net Income or Net Loss allocated with respect to each Performance Unit in the taxable year in which that Performance Unit’s Performance Unit Distribution Payment Date falls (excluding special allocations under Section 6.2.F), to (b) the total amount distributed to that Performance Unit with respect to such period, is more nearly equal to the ratio of (i) the Net Income and Net Loss allocated with respect to MIC’s Common Units in such taxable year to (ii) the amounts distributed to MIC with respect to such Common Units and such taxable year.

Section 20.6 Transfers. Subject to the terms and limitations contained in an applicable Performance Unit Agreement and the Plans (or any other applicable Equity Plan), and except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Performance Units, a Holder of Performance Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her Performance Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions, as Holders of Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article 11.

Section 20.7 Redemption. The Redemption Right provided to Qualifying Parties under Section 15.1 shall not apply with respect to Performance Units unless and until they are converted to Common Units as provided in Section 20.9 below.

Section 20.8 Legend. Any certificate evidencing a Performance Unit shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Board, indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation under any Performance Unit Agreement and the Plans (or any other applicable Equity Plan), apply to the Performance Unit.

Section 20.9 Conversion to Common Units.

A. A Qualifying Party holding Performance Units shall have the Conversion Right, at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested Performance Units into Common Units, taking into account all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 20.3; provided, however, that a Qualifying Party may not exercise the Conversion Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Vested Performance Units or, if such Qualifying Party holds less than one thousand (1,000) Vested Performance Units, all of the Vested Performance Units held by such Qualifying Party, to the extent not subject to the limitation on conversion under Section 20.9.B below. Qualifying Parties shall not have the right to convert Unvested Performance Units into Common Units until they become Vested Performance Units; provided, however, that in

 

Page 108 of 113


anticipation of any event that will cause his or her Unvested Performance Units to become Vested Performance Units (and subject to the timing requirements set forth in Section 20.9.B below), such Qualifying Party may give the Company a Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting and such Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the Qualifying Party in writing prior to such vesting event, shall be accepted by the Company subject to such condition. In all cases, the conversion of any Performance Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 20.9.

B. A Qualifying Party may convert his or her Vested Performance Units into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 20.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a Qualifying Party convert a number of Vested Performance Units that exceeds the Capital Account Limitation. In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a Qualifying Party shall deliver a Conversion Notice in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Company (with a copy to MIC) not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) days prior to the Conversion Date specified in such Conversion Notice; provided, however, that if the Company has not given to the Qualifying Party notice of a proposed or upcoming Transaction (as defined in Section 19.9) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such Transaction, then the Qualifying Party shall have the right to deliver a Conversion Notice until the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) day after such notice from the Company of a Transaction or (y) the third (3rd) Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such Transaction. A Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.2. Each Qualifying Party seeking to convert Vested Performance Units covenants and agrees with the Company that all Vested Performance Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 20.9 shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initial Holding Period with respect to the Common Units into which the Vested Performance Units are convertible has elapsed, a Qualifying Party may deliver a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 15.1.A relating to such Common Units in advance of the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the Company shall in no event take place until on or after the Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a Qualifying Party in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested Performance Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1.A simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if MIC elects to assume the Company’s redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under Section 15.1.B by delivering to such Qualifying Party Shares rather than cash, then such Qualifying Party can have such Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested Performance Units into Common Units. MIC shall cooperate with a Qualifying Party to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.

C. The Company, at any time at the election of the Board, may cause any number of Vested Performance Units to be subject to a Forced Conversion into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 20.3; provided, however, that the Company may not cause a Forced Conversion of any Performance Units that would not at the time be eligible for conversion at the option of such Qualifying Party pursuant to Section 20.9.B. In order to exercise its right of Forced Conversion, the Company shall deliver a Forced Conversion Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D to the applicable Holder of Performance Units not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Conversion Date specified in such Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.2.

 

Page 109 of 113


D. A conversion of Vested Performance Units for which the Holder thereof has given a Conversion Notice or the Company has given a Forced Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date without any action on the part of such Holder of Performance Units, other than the surrender of any certificate or certificates evidencing such Vested Performance Units, as of which time such Holder of Performance Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Company as of the opening of business on the next day with the number of Common Units into which such Performance Units were converted. After the conversion of Performance Units as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver to such Holder of Performance Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the Company certifying the number of Common Units and remaining Performance Units, if any, held by such person immediately after such conversion. The Assignee of any Member pursuant to Article 11 hereof may exercise the rights of such Member pursuant to this Section 20.9 and such Member shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by the Assignee.

E. For purposes of making future allocations under Section 6.2.F and applying the Capital Account Limitation, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable Holder of Performance Units that is treated as attributable to his or her Performance Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of Performance Units converted and the Common Unit Economic Balance.

F. If the Company or MIC shall be a party to any Transaction, then the Company shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise its right to cause a Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of Performance Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Company were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the Board in good faith using the value attributed to the Common Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction). In anticipation of such Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Holder of Performance Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her Performance Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a Holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such Holder is not a Constituent Person, or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that Holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of Performance Units of such opportunity, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford the Holder of Performance Units the right to elect, by written notice to the Company, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each Performance Unit held by such Holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a Holder of Performance Units fails to make such an election, such Holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each Performance Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration

that a Holder of Common Units would receive if such Holder of Common Units failed to make such an election. Subject to the rights of the Company and MIC under any Performance Unit Agreement and the relevant terms of the Plan or any other applicable Equity Plan, the Company shall use commercially reasonable effort to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 20.9.F and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any Holder of Performance Units whose Performance Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the Qualifying Parties that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their Performance Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the Holder of Performance Units.

Section 20.10 Voting. Members holding Performance Units shall have the same voting rights as Members holding Common Units, with the Performance Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class with the Common Units and having one vote per Performance Unit and Holders of Performance Units shall not be entitled to approve, vote on or consent to any other matter. The foregoing voting provision will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be effected, all outstanding Performance Units shall have been converted or provision is made for such conversion to occur as of or prior to such time into Common Units.

Article 21

CLASS A UNITS

Section 21.1 Designation.

A class of securities of the Company designated as the “Class A Units” is hereby established. The number of Class A Units that may be issued is not limited by this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, a Class A Unit shall only represent the right to acquire such number of Common Units upon the exercise of such Class A Unit as is provided for under the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement entered between the Company and holder of such Class A Unit, and a Class A Unit shall not constitute a “Common Equivalent Unit” or a “Common Unit”.

Section 21.2 Adjustments. The number of Common Units purchasable upon exercise of a Class A Unit and the exercise price at which such Common Units may be purchased shall be adjusted solely as set forth in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement.

Section 21.3 Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement with respect to such Class A Units, holders of Class A Units shall not be entitled to receive payment of regular, special, extraordinary or other distributions (including, for avoidance of doubt, distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction) unless and until such Class A Units are exercised for Common Units in accordance with the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement. After the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise of such Class A Units, the Holder of such Common Units shall be entitled to distributions in accordance with the terms of the Common Units.

Section 21.4 Liquidation Preference.

A. Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement with respect to such Class A Units, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, no distributions shall be made on the Class A Units pursuant to Article 13 hereof or otherwise unless and until such Class A Units have been exercised for Common Units in accordance with the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement. After the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise of such Class A Units, the Holder of such Common Units shall be entitled to distributions in accordance with the terms of the Common Units. Notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, shall be required only to the extent provided in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement.

B. No Further Rights. Other than payment of the full amount of any liquidating distributions to which a former holder of Class A Units may be entitled under the applicable Class A Unit Agreement or in respect of Common Units received upon exercise of such former holder’s Class A Units, no holder or former holder of Class A units shall have any right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

C. Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. The consolidation or merger of the Company with one or more entities or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Company.

Section 21.5 Voting Rights. A holder of Class A Units shall not have any voting or consent rights in respect of its Class A Units unless and until such Class A Units have been exercised for Common Units in accordance with the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement. After the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise of such Class A Units, a Holder of such Common Units will be entitled to voting rights in accordance with the terms of the Common Units.

Section 21.6 Transfers and Redemptions. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement, a holder of Class A Units shall not be entitled to transfer his or her Class A Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a holder of Class A Units shall not be entitled to transfer (directly or indirectly), and shall not transfer (directly or indirectly), its Class A Units if doing so would constitute a “measurement event” under Regulations Sections 1.761-3(c)(1)(iii)(A) and 1.761-3(c)(2)(i). The Redemption Right provided to Qualifying Parties under Section 15.1 shall not apply with respect to Class A Units unless and until such Class A Units have been exercised for Common Units in accordance with the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement.

Section 21.7 Characterization and Allocations.

A. Characterization. It is the intent of the parties that each Class A Unit shall constitute a “noncompensatory option” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.761-3(b)(2), and one which is not treated as a “partnership interest” for federal tax purposes on the date of any “measurement event” (all within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.761-3), unless and until such Class A Unit has been exercised for a Common Unit in accordance with the terms of the applicable Class A Unit Agreement.

 

Page 112 of 113


B. Allocations. Net Income, Net Loss and other allocations (such as those governed by Article 6 hereof) shall be allocated to holders of Class A Units in accordance with the principles of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s) as applied by the Board in good faith, and the remainder of the provisions in this Agreement (including without limitation Article 6 hereof) shall be applied by giving due regard to the allocations in this Section 21.7.B.

Section 21.8 Legend. Any certificate evidencing a Class A Unit shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Board, indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on Transfer, including without limitation under any Class A Unit Agreement, apply to the Class A Unit.

Section 21.9 Exercise for Common Units. A holder of Class A Units shall have the right to exercise its Class A Units for Common Units solely in such manner, at such price and on such other terms as are set forth in the applicable Class A Unit Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR

For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on ______ is 1.0 and (b) on________ (the “Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 Shares issued and outstanding.

Example 1

On the Record Date, MIC declares a dividend on its outstanding Shares in Shares. The amount of the dividend is one Share paid in respect of each Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (i) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows:

1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.

Example 2

On the Record Date, MIC distributes options to purchase Shares to all holders of its Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one Share in respect of each Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value of a Share on the Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + 100 * $4.00/$5.00) = 1.1111

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.

Example 3

On the Record Date, MIC distributes assets to all holders of its Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by MIC) of $1.00 in respect of each Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by MIC pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Company. The Value of a Share on the Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to Paragraph (iii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 - $1.00) = 1.25

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.

Mobile Infrastructure Corporation Completes Public Listing Following Merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III

 

   

Mobile Infrastructure Corporation, the only publicly listed exclusive owner of parking assets, goes public via merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III

 

   

Mobile Infrastructure’s proprietary, purpose-built asset management platform positions the company to be a leader in the optimization of parking assets

 

   

The merger with a Fifth Wall sponsored SPAC uniquely positions Mobile Infrastructure to capitalize on a partnership with the global leader in property technology investments

 

   

Mobile Infrastructure’s Up-C structure will position the company to be highly acquisitive across key urban markets in the United States

 

   

A revenue model has been implemented to allow the company to realize increased contribution margins mirroring asset performance

August 28, 2023 10:44 AM Eastern Daylight Time

CINCINNATI—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE American: BEEP), one of the largest institutional-quality, mobility-focused parking asset owners in the U.S., and Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) sponsored by an affiliate of Fifth Wall, the largest venture capital firm focused on technology for the built world, announced the completion of its business combination. The transaction valued the equity of Mobile at $15.00 per share versus its published 2022 Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of $14.76 per share.

“Public listing is an important milestone in our growth trajectory. The merger structure and domain expertise of Fifth Wall creates alignment with shareholders and clear avenues for open-ended growth.”

Mobile Infrastructure Corporation’s common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange American under the ticker “BEEP” on August 28, 2023.

Manuel Chavez, CEO and Chairman of Mobile Infrastructure stated, “Public listing is an important milestone in our growth trajectory. The merger structure and domain expertise of Fifth Wall creates alignment with shareholders and clear avenues for open-ended growth.”


Transaction Highlights

Concurrent with Mobile Infrastructure’s public listing, a PIPE investment provided an additional $46 million of capital that will be used for deleveraging certain debt facilities and general corporate purposes.

No Street Capital and its affiliates invested an additional $40 million through the PIPE. Jeff Osher, Founder of No Street Capital and Mobile Infrastructure board member, stated, “When we made our initial investment in Mobile Infrastructure two years ago, we saw a unique opportunity to partner with an experienced, trustworthy management team to strategically build one of the largest portfolios of parking assets in the country. As Mobile Infrastructure’s largest shareholder, I believe the combination of steady asset acquisition, portfolio optimization through active management, and healthy operating leverage, is a strategy that will create significant shareholder value in 2024 and beyond.”

Other notable features of the merger structure were outlined in SEC filings, making this a unique transaction among SPAC targets. SPACs often have promote and warrant features that benefit the SPAC sponsors but create significant dilution to target shareholders. FWAC’s structure had no warrants, the majority of the SPAC’s promote shares have been cancelled, and it elected to align its remaining promote shares with management incentive programs, which trigger at prices significantly higher than the transaction closing price. Finally, to further align management with shareholders, the CEO and President have elected to receive the majority of their 2022 and 2023 compensation in equity.

Brad Greiwe, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Fifth Wall, commented, “We are excited to have completed the merger with Mobile Infrastructure in a transaction that very clearly aligns the interests of all stakeholders. With multiple compelling dynamics in the parking industry, we firmly believe that Mobile Infrastructure has the right team, model and technology to leverage its experience and platform to create shareholder value.”

Focus on Growth and Acquisitions

To maximize the company’s growth opportunities, Mobile Infrastructure has converted to an Up-C structure, which is unique in its ability to offer favorable tax treatment to parking asset sellers. An Up-C structure is comparable to an UPREIT structure often utilized by real estate investment trusts, allowing sellers to realize tax deferrals, while converting partnership units into common stock at a timing that is suitable for the seller.

On the growth prospects for Mobile Infrastructure, Mr. Chavez noted, “We intend to be highly acquisitive with a robust acquisition pipeline already in place, enabling our growth and the uplisting of the company as we execute on our acquisition plan. Considering an addressable market of 1 billion parking stalls across the United States, we believe Mobile Infrastructure has an open-ended acquisition market as the only pure play public acquirer of parking infrastructure assets.”


Realizing Operational Enhancements

In early 2022, the company moved its headquarters from Las Vegas, Nevada to Cincinnati, Ohio. As of 2021, Cincinnati was the fifth largest economy in the Midwest and a one-day drive to approximately 50% of the US population. At that time, Mobile Infrastructure published a letter to shareholders outlining several key objectives, including increasing revenues, expanding market presence, and enhancing the balance sheet.

Stephanie Hogue, President and CFO of Mobile, remarked, “With over 60% of our property level net operating income in the Midwest, Cincinnati was the perfect location to rebuild Mobile Infrastructure’s operational and personnel infrastructure from the ground up. Unlike the industry’s traditional passive net lease strategy, we are on the ground talking to operators to reposition assets when needed, target strategic acquisitions, and recycle capital when an asset is inconsistent with our growth strategy. Our propriety platform provides a unique competitive advantage by allowing us to dynamically monitor and budget asset level performance. Our team uses our real-time data signals to optimize pricing, utilization, and ultimately, revenue per available stall across each of our assets.”

Key financial highlights for the company in the first half of 2023:

 

   

Total Revenue growth of 3.6% to $14.3 million compared to the first half of 2022.

 

   

First half year-over-year property level Net Operating Income growth of 11.3%, defined as Total Revenues less Property Taxes and Property Operating Expense, as reported in the company’s public filings.

Mr. Chavez stated, “Parking tends to see a multiyear lag on operational improvements, as disparate revenue channels, operators, and technologies create a time delay in realizing operational improvements. As such, our primary focus since 2021 has been the development of an industry-leading platform, capable of enhancing revenue per available stall across a scaled portfolio. I have never seen a more innovative time in the industry and we could not be more positive about the future of parking assets going forward.”

About Mobile Infrastructure Corporation

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, with MIC identified as the accounting acquirer, in accordance with FASB ASC 805. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New MIC represent a continuation of the financial statements of MIC with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of MIC issuing stock for the net assets of FWAC. The net assets of MIC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The identification of MIC as the accounting acquirer is based primarily on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances, which are consistent under a number of scenarios in generating net proceeds from the Merger:

 

   

Following the Merger, the business affairs of New MIC are controlled by a board of directors that initially consist of eight individuals, seven of which were board members of MIC and one that was designated by FWAC.


   

Following the Merger, the management of New MIC is led by MIC’s Chief Executive Officer, Manuel Chavez, III, and Chief Financial Officer, Stephanie Hogue.

 

   

MIC is significantly larger than FWAC in terms of revenue, total assets (excluding cash) and employees.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration for the Merger is funded through a combination of cash from FWAC, proceeds from the PIPE Investment and rollover equity from the MIC stockholders. As a result of the Merger, MIC stockholders collectively hold a majority of the equity of New MIC. The Merger is structured as a customary Up-C transaction, whereby New MIC directly or indirectly owns equity in the Operating Company and holds direct voting rights in the Operating Company. Pursuant to and in connection with the Merger, the following transactions have occurred:

The Domestication

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, prior to the consummation of the Merger FWAC transferred by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Maryland and domesticated by means of a corporate conversion to a Maryland corporation in accordance with Title 3, Subtitle 9 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Concurrently with the Domestication, FWAC filed articles of incorporation with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation and adopted bylaws.

At the effective time of the Domestication, (a) each then issued and outstanding FWAC Class A Share converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of New MIC Common Stock and (b) each then issued and outstanding FWAC Class B Share converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of New MIC Common Stock.

The Conversion

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, the Operating Partnership converted from a Maryland limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company. In connection with the Conversion, each outstanding unit of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into an equal number of identical membership units of the Operating Company.

The Merger

Following the Domestication, (a) Merger Sub (a wholly-owned subsidiary of FWAC) merged with and into MIC in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, with MIC continuing as the surviving entity and (b) immediately following the effectiveness of the First Merger, the First-Step Surviving Company merged with and into FWAC in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, with FWAC continuing as the surviving entity.

Merger Consideration

Consideration; Conversion of Securities

 

   

Each share of MIC Common Stock (excluding shares owned by any Mobile Company) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time was converted into the right to receive such number of shares of New MIC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and was automatically cancelled;

 

   

Each share of MIC Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the applicable New MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock or New MIC Series A Preferred Stock and was automatically cancelled; and


   

The First-Step Surviving Company assumed each MIC Common Stock Warrant remaining outstanding and unexpired immediately prior to the First Effective Time and each such MIC Common Stock Warrant became a warrant to purchase that number of shares of New MIC Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of MIC Common Stock that would have been issuable upon the exercise of such MIC Common Stock Warrant and (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such MIC Common Stock Warrant as of immediately prior to the Closing by the Exchange Ratio.

Additional LTIP Consideration

Certain individuals shall be entitled to receive restricted stock, units or other equity interests in MIC or the Operating Company in such amounts as determined by the compensation committee of the MIC board of directors, to be issued by New MIC or the Operating Company, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of an effective registration statement on Form S-8.

PIPE Investment

On June 15, 2023, the Preferred PIPE Investors each entered into a Preferred Subscription Agreement with FWAC pursuant to which, among other things, the Preferred PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and FWAC agreed to issue and sell to the Preferred PIPE Investors, a total of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $46,000,000, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. On the earlier of (a) a change of control of New MIC and (b) thirty (30) days after the date that the New MIC Common Stock first becomes listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE; provided that (x) there has been no suspension or removal from listing during such thirty (30)-day period and (y) such date shall, in no case, occur prior to December 31, 2023, the Series 2 Preferred Stock will convert into approximately 12,534,060 shares of New MIC Common Stock. The Series 2 Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10% during the period between the initial issuance of such shares and the conversion thereof into shares of New MIC Common Stock; provided that if the date of distribution occurs prior to the first anniversary of the original date of issuance of such share, the holder of such share of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall receive dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference for a period of one year, and will be paid in full on the conversion date. Dividends will be paid in kind and also convert into shares of New MIC Common Stock on the earlier of (a) a change of control of New MIC and (b) thirty (30) days after the date that the New MIC Common Stock first becomes listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE; provided that (x) there has been no suspension or removal from listing during such thirty (30)-day period and (y) such date shall, in no case, occur prior to December 31, 2023. The Series 2 Preferred Stock converts at a conversion price of $3.67 per share of New MIC Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Series 2 Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Charter.

NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 assumes that the Merger was completed on June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, with MIC identified as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New MIC represent a continuation of the financial statements of MIC with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of MIC issuing stock for the net assets of FWAC. The net assets of MIC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. These unaudited pro forma financial statements do not include the impact of any synergies that may be achieved through the transactions nor any strategies that management may consider in order to continue to efficiently manage its operations.


The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Merger are based on certain estimates and assumptions. The unaudited pro forma adjustments may be revised as additional information becomes available. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. MIC believes that assumptions made provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Merger contemplated based on information available to MIC at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma financial information.


NOTE 3 — ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023

The Merger accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

 

  (a)

Reflects the reclassification of cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account of FWAC maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Account”) that were available for merger consideration, transaction expenses, and the operating activities in conjunction with the Merger. The adjustment also reflects the redemption of 27,058,698 FWAC Class A Shares in May 2023 in connection with the extension of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of FWAC (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) and 22,017 FWAC Class A Shares in August 2023 in connection with the vote on the Merger.

 

  (b)

Represents the payment of certain transaction costs which are directly related to and incremental to the Merger and are reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. MIC has not currently identified any costs that are not considered directly related to or incremental to the Merger, but any such costs would be reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements.

 

  (c)

Represents the derecognition of MIC’s deferred offering costs through additional paid-in capital at Closing.

 

  (d)

Represents approximately $0.5 million for the settlement of certain related-party balances.

 

  (e)

Represents a pay-down on $15.0 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Agreement.

 

  (f)

This adjustment represents the amounts attributed to redemptions by the FWAC public shareholders, including the redemption of 27,058,698 FWAC Class A Shares in May 2023 in connection with the extension of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and 22,017 FWAC Class A Shares in August 2023 in connection with the vote on the Merger.

 

  (g)

Reflects the issuance of New MIC Common Stock before redemptions as well as the conversion of FWAC Class A Shares and FWAC Class B Shares.

 

  (h)

Reflects cancellation of 7,762,375 shares of MIC Common Stock.

 

  (i)

Reflects the reset of noncontrolling interest to the post-Merger ownership.

 

  (j)

Reflects the elimination of FWAC’s historical accumulated deficit balance as of June 30, 2023 such that the remaining accumulated deficit is that of MIC.

 

  (k)

Reflects the fair value of 1.9 million FWAC Class B Shares that convert to MIC Common Stock if the 5-day VWAP share price of MIC Common Stock exceeds $13.00 prior to December 31, 2026 and $16.00 prior to December 31, 2028. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and footnotes, we have recorded a preliminary estimate of this liability. New MIC will engage a third-party valuation specialist to determine the final fair value to be recorded related to the FWAC Class B Shares.

 

  (l)

Reflects the issuance of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock and balance of paid in kind dividends.

 


Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are as follows:

 

  (aa)

Reflects the elimination of FWAC’s income from investments held in the Trust Account.

 

  (bb)

Reflects the decrease in interest expense as a result of paying down amounts outstanding under Credit Agreement, as described in e above. The adjustment was calculated using actual coupon interest on the Credit Agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

  (cc)

Reflects the adjustment for the portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests, as described in i above.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:

 

  (aa)

Reflects the elimination of FWAC’s income from investments held in the Trust Account.

 

  (bb)

Reflects the decrease in interest expense as a result of paying down amounts outstanding under Credit Agreement, as described in e above. The adjustment was calculated using actual coupon interest on the Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2022.

MIC entered into its Credit Agreement in March 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, MIC used proceeds from the Credit Agreement to pay-off $56.1 million of then outstanding principal on mortgage loans. As described above, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contemplate that MIC will pay-down some of the outstanding balance on the Credit Agreement. However, since there was no Credit Agreement until March 2022, and therefore no interest, there is an adjustment in 2022 to each scenario to reflect a decrease in interest expense as though MIC used proceeds from the Merger to pay-down $15.0 million of the $56.1 million of debt as of January 1, 2022.

 

  (cc)

Reflects the adjustment for the portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests, as described in i above.

 

  (dd)

The $4.1 million adjustment reflects the non-cash compensation cost recognized for certain LTIP Units that were granted to MIC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer on August 23, 2022 pursuant to their respective employment agreements. These LTIP Units will vest in full only upon the occurrence of a liquidity event prior to August 25, 2024; provided, that the executive remains continuously employed by New MIC, the Operating Company or an affiliate thereof through the one year anniversary of the liquidity event. The grant date fair value of the awards was determined to be $4.1 million and is recognized over the 2022 pro forma period which assumes the Merger closes on January 1, 2022.

 

  (ee)

Reflects the recognition of dividends on Series 2 Preferred Stock at a cumulative annual rate of 10% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference, which dividends will be paid in full on the conversion date.
