RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and the Partnership have proposed to enter into the following
transactions: (i) the distribution (the “Distribution”) of assignee limited partnership int erests in
the Partnership (“Partnership Shares”) to the holders of shares of Common Stock, .001 par value,
of the Company (“Common Stock”) in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock held by such holders; and (ii) the “pairing” of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
and Partnership Shares so that they are transferable only in units (“Paired Shares”), each unit
consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Partnership Share (the “Pairing”); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Partnership desire to enter into this agreement in
connection with effectuating the Pairing, including the establishment of the terms and conditions
which will govern the transfer of shares of Common Stock and Partnership Shares after the
Distribution has become effective.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Partnership agree as
follows:
1. Exchange of Certificates; Issuance of Back to Back
Certificates.
At such time as the Distribution becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), the Company
shall cause a letter of transmittal to be sent to each holder of record of shares of Common Stock
on the Effective Date for use by the holder in forwarding the holder’s certificates representing
shares of Common Stock to a designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). Upon tender to
the Transfer Agent of a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanied by the appropriate
certificate or certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on the Effective Date and a certificate evidencing such holder’s agreement to
become a holder
CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING§7.614
April/May 19897-1481
of Partnership Shares, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to such holder, in substitution therefor,
one or more certificates in such form as the Company and the Partnership mutually determine
(“Back to Back Certificates”) in such holder’s name evidencing the number of shares of
Common Stock owned by such holder on the Effective Date and the corresponding number of
Partnership Shares. Until so tendered, each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock
outstanding prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to also evidence
ownership of an equal number of Partnership Shares; provided, however, that in each calendar
year the Company or the Partnership may refrain from paying dividends or making other
distributions or allocating profits or losses with respect to such shares of Common Stock or such
Partnership Shares until such holder tenders his certificates, at which time the holder shall be
paid the amount of any dividends or distributions withheld during such year, without interest,
which theretofore became payable with respect to such holder’s shares of Common Stock and
Partnership Shares, less expenses incurred by the Company and the Partnership in connection
therewith. At the end of each calendar year the Company or the Partnership may, in their
discretion, pay dividends or make other distributions or allocate profits or losses previously
withheld from shareholders who had not tendered their certificates, to the remaining holders of
the Common Stock and the Partnership Shares pro-rata to such holders in accordance with the
shares owned by such holders.

Company and the Partnership.
(b) upon presentation to the Company’s transfer agent of (i) any certificate

Certificate evidencing both the number of shares of Common Stock so transferred and an
equal number of Partnership Shares.
