Conversion Rights    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, investors will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Issuer has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem their Series H Preferred Shares) to convert some or all of their Series H Preferred Shares (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) into a number of the Issuer’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the lesser of:
  

•        the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per Series H Preferred Share to be converted plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid distributions to and including the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a Series H Preferred Share distribution payment and prior to the corresponding Series H Preferred Share distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Share Price; and

  

•        1.702 (the “Share Cap”), subject to certain adjustments;

   in each case, subject to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration, as described in the preliminary prospectus supplement.
   If the Issuer has provided or provides a redemption notice, whether pursuant to the Issuer’s special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control or the Issuer’s optional redemption right, investors will not have any right to convert their Series H Preferred Shares in connection with the Change of Control Conversion Right and any Series H Preferred Shares subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.
   A “Change of Control” is when, after the original issuance of the Series H Preferred Shares, the following have occurred and are continuing:
  

•        the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of shares of the Issuer entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all shares of the Issuer entitled to vote generally in elections of trustees (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and

 

•        following the closing of any transaction referred to in the bullet above, neither the Issuer nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the NYSE Amex Equities (“NYSE Amex”) or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, NYSE Amex or NASDAQ.

   The “Change of Control Conversion Date” will be a business day that is no less than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which the Issuer provides the required notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control to the holders of Series H Preferred Shares.
   The “Common Share Price” will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of the Issuer’s common shares is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per common share, and (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of common shares is other than solely cash, the average of the closing price per common share on the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control.

Special Optional Redemption:    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Issuer has provided or provides notice of redemption with respect to the Series H Preferred Shares (whether pursuant to the Issuer’s optional redemption right or its special optional redemption right), investors will not have the conversion right described above.
