Selling Restrictions (i) Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the Trading Day next following the expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (x) engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Securities; or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is or may be obligated to purchase under a pending Fixed Purchase Notice, a pending VWAP Purchase Notice or a pending Additional VWAP Purchase Notice but has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such Fixed Purchase Notice, such VWAP Purchase Notice or such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice (as applicable) to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer upon such Restricted Person’s receipt of such shares of Common Stock from the Company pursuant to this Agreement. (ii) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Trading Restrictions The Company may establish periods from time to time during which Participant’s ability to engage in transactions involving the Company’s Common Stock is subject to specific restrictions (“Restricted Periods”). Participant may be subject to restrictions giving rise to a Restricted Period for any reason that the Company determines appropriate, including, restrictions generally applicable to employees or groups of employees or restrictions applicable to Participant during an investigation of allegations of misconduct or conduct detrimental to the Company or any Affiliate by Participant.
Additional Restrictions In addition to any other restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner or any redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (v) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8.6 unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel advises the General Partner that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) if such Transfer would cause the General Partner to own 10% or more of the ownership interests of any tenant of a property held by the Partnership within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (ix) if such Transfer would result in the General Partner being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; or (x) if in the opinion the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.
