                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying interim financial statements include all of the accounts
of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and
its subsidiary financing partnerships. (As used herein, the term "Company" may
be used to mean Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P., Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc., or both, unless the context indicates otherwise.) All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
financial information furnished is unaudited, and in management's opinion,
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments),
that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30,
1999 and the results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for a full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes
appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

       The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation,
management, leasing, acquisition, and development of real estate properties,
primarily residential multifamily properties. As of June 30, 1999, the Operating
Partnership owned 50 operating multifamily properties totaling 19,852 apartment
units, had interests in two operating multifamily properties totaling 961
apartment units, and owned two retail shopping centers aggregating 436,000
square feet. The Operating Partnership also had approximately 2,800 units under
construction at seven additional sites. The Operating Partnership also owns
substantially all of the economic interest in entities that provide multifamily
and retail property management and leasing, furnished corporate apartments,
interior construction and construction management services, and engineering and
technical services (collectively the "Property Service Businesses"). The
Operating Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for its 99%
non-voting interest in the Property Service Businesses.

       Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

2.     ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

       In January 1999, the Company acquired a 442-unit multifamily property in
Crystal City, Virginia ("Buchanan House") for a capitalized cost of $66.0
million which includes assumed debt of $7.4 million, a fair value adjustment to
debt of $0.5 million, initial capital improvement costs of $5.0 million and $0.4
million in acquisition related costs. The balance was funded by proceeds from
the 1998 sale of Marbury Plaza and a draw on the Company's bank line of credit.

       In January 1999, the Company acquired a 139-unit multifamily property in
Chicago, Illinois ("Parkwest") for a capitalized cost of approximately $13.6
million, consisting of 138,111 net Operating Partnership Units valued at $4.3
million, assumed debt of $6.0 million, a fair value adjustment to debt of $0.4
million, initial capital improvement costs of $0.8 million, and $2.1 million of
cash. The assumed loan has an effective interest rate of 6.5% with principal
amortized using a 25-year amortization schedule and a final payment due April 1,

cash.

       In February 1999, the Company acquired a parcel of land for development
in Chicago, Illinois for $8.6 million.

       In March 1999, the Company acquired the land beneath its Crystal Square
property and the 5.1% net profit interest in its Crystal Plaza property. The
purchase price of $10.0 million consisted of 32,258 Operating Partnership Units
valued at $1.0 million and the assumption of debt, which was repaid with $9.0
million cash drawn upon the line of credit. This transaction was completed
concurrently with the purchase by Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P.
("CESCR") of commercial land and partnership interests. The transaction was
reviewed and approved by the Company's independent Directors.

       During the second quarter of 1999, the Company paid $0.6 million in
settlement of its $1.8 million contingent purchase obligations related to the
1998 acquisition of the furnished corporate apartment business in Chicago.


3.     MORTGAGE LOANS

       In February 1999, the Company repaid the $7.4 million Buchanan mortgage
through a draw on its line of credit. The Company paid a prepayment penalty of
$0.9 million.

       In March 1999, the Company obtained a $38.0 million mortgage on Buchanan
House with an effective fixed interest rate of 6.67%. The loan is interest only
through March 2009, at which time principal amortization begins using a 30-year
amortization schedule with a balloon payment due February 1, 2011.

       In March 1999, the Company repaid the $13.7 million mortgage on Terrace.
The Company paid a prepayment penalty of $0.2 million. The Company obtained a

6.64% with principal due April 1, 2007.

       During the second quarter, the Company closed on a $269.5 million standby
credit facility with Fannie Mae which provides for non-recourse, long-term debt
for up to fifteen years. The initial draw on this facility was made during 1998
for $140 million at 6.75% for fifteen years. A second draw was made in May 1999
for $29.5 million at 6.845% for eight years. Terms and rates of subsequent draws
on this facility will be determined at the time of use.


4.     PARTNER'S EQUITY

       In March 1999, 125,367 units of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series B Preferred Units") were converted to common

                                       8
<PAGE>

5.     PER SHARE DATA

</TABLE>



       Options to purchase 0.8 million shares of common stock, the proceeds of
which would be contributed by the Company to the Operating Partnership for
common units, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit
because the options' exercise price was higher than the average price of the
common units. All convertible preferred units were also excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per unit since the preferred dividends paid per
unit exceeded basic earnings per unit.

6.     SEGMENT REPORTING

Property Segments

       The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of
multifamily residential real estate. As such, the residential rental properties
have been divided into three primary operating segments - the Core, the
Acquisition, and the Development portfolios. The Core Portfolio consists of all
multifamily properties which have been owned for longer than one full calendar
year. Therefore, the 1999 Core represents properties owned as of December 31,
1997. The Acquisition Portfolio consists of purchased properties which have not
yet been owned for one full calendar year. The Development Portfolio consists of
properties which the Company has constructed or is in the process of
constructing which have not yet had stabilized operating results for a full
calendar year. On the first of January each year, Acquisition and Development
properties that have been stabilized or held by the Company for one full
calendar year are transferred to the Core Portfolio.

       The Company's fourth property segment is the Retail Portfolio which
consists of two freestanding retail properties.

       The Company evaluates performance for the Property Segments based on Net
Operating Income ("NOI") calculated as the difference between Rental Revenue and
Operating Expenses (which excludes interest expense, general and administrative
costs and depreciation.)

Property Service Business Segment

       The Company also separately evaluates the financial information of its
equity investment in the Property Service Businesses. These businesses provide
professional services such as property management, furnished corporate apartment
rentals, engineering and technical consulting, and construction management to
both Company-owned properties and properties owned by third parties. Previously,
the Company reported the Property Service Businesses as three separate operating
segments. However, given the similarities in the nature of services, customers
and distribution methods as well as the overall profit contribution, the Company
considers the Property Service Businesses to be one segment. The Company
evaluates performance for the Property Service Business segment based on Funds
from Operations ("FFO"), which is defined using the revised definition adopted
by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net
income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of
property, plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real estate
industry. Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the industry, such
as amortization of deferred financing costs and non-real estate assets, is not
added back.

       The accounting policies for all segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

       Information concerning operations by segment for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was as follows (in thousands):

7.     JOINT VENTURES

       In March 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan Strategic Property Fund
("J.P.Morgan") formed a joint venture which acquired the Renaissance, a 330-unit
multifamily property in Tysons Corner, Virginia for approximately $37 million.
The joint venture plans to invest an additional $2.0 million in initial capital
improvements and has placed debt of $19.0 million on the property. The debt
carries an interest rate of 6.48% and matures in February 2006. Ownership
interests in the joint venture are held 75% by J.P. Morgan and 25% by the
Company. The Company's initial equity contribution totaled $4.4 million
consisting of 21,903 Operating Partnership units valued at $0.7 million and cash
of $3.7 million. The transaction was reviewed and approved by the Company's
independent Directors since Messrs. Smith and Kogod held a general partnership
interest in the selling entity.

       In May 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan formed a joint venture
("Springfield Station JV") to own and operate the Company's recently developed
631-unit Springfield Station property. The Company sold a 52% interest in
Springfield Station JV to J.P. Morgan and received proceeds of approximately $50
million from the transaction. The joint venture placed $37 million in debt
financing on the property at 6.85% fixed interest which matures on June 1, 2001.
The Company provided a construction completion guarantee on the project as well
as a payment guarantee of $14.1 million of the debt. The construction completion
guarantee expires on October 1, 1999. The debt guarantee will expire on or
before the achievement of 92% occupancy for 45 consecutive days. The Company
will defer recognition of a $5.1 million gain on the sale until the guarantees
have expired.

       In May 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan also formed a development joint
venture ("University Center JV") to develop a new 630-unit multifamily property
in Loudoun County, Virginia at the western end of the Dulles Technology
corridor. Ownership interests are held 60% by J.P. Morgan and 40% by the
Company. The joint venture intends to place debt financing for 50% of the
project's estimated $60 million development cost. Construction commenced during
the third quarter of 1999 with final completion expected in 2001. The Company's
initial equity contribution consisted of land acquired in 1998 for $5.4 million,
less cash received of $3.0 million. A Company affiliate will provide
development, property management and marketing services to the venture for a
market rate fee. This affiliate will provide a construction completion guarantee
to the venture.


8.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       In May 1999, the Company finalized the settlement of financing services
provided to commercial office partnerships now owned and managed by CESCR, an
affiliate of Messrs. Smith and Kogod. This settlement was initiated by the
formation of CESCR in 1997, at which time the Company entered into an agreement

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998.

       Summary. Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $3.4 million,
or 18.8%, from $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $21.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Funds from Operations ("FFO")
of the Operating Partnership increased $4.2 million, or 17.6%, from $24.4
million to $28.6 million during the same period. The increases in FFO and net
income are primarily attributable to revenue growth of 5.7% on the core
portfolio, an expense decrease of 1.5%, and contributions from acquired and
developed properties.

       Rental Properties. Revenue from all rental properties increased $8.8
million, or 14.3%, from $61.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998
to $70.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Operating expenses
from all rental operations increased $1.5 million, or 6.0% from $25.1 million
during the second quarter of 1998 to $26.6 million during the current quarter.

       Core Portfolio. Revenue from the core portfolio increased $3.0 million,
or 5.7%, over the prior year period resulting in average monthly revenue per
apartment unit of $1,079. This was primarily due to continued strong demand in
all submarkets, particularly northwest Washington, D.C. Management successfully
increased rents during the quarter and improved occupancy levels. Average
economic occupancy for the core portfolio was 97.3% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to 96.4% for the comparable prior year. Expenses for the
core portfolio decreased $0.3 million, or 1.5%, due primarily to utility savings
of $0.6 million. The savings arose from lower than expected fuel costs and water
savings generated by the Company's program of replacing older plumbing fixtures.

       Acquisition Portfolio. The eight acquisition properties (defined as
properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1997) and three disposition
properties contributed approximately 45%, or $4.0 million, of the total rental
revenue increase and approximately $1.4 million of the total rental expense
increase. Five of the acquisition properties (comprising 1,942 apartment units)
were acquired during 1998 and three (comprising 1,008 units) were acquired
during the first quarter of 1999.

       Development Portfolio. Courthouse Place delivered the balance of its
units during the quarter for a total of 564 units delivered as of June 30, 1999.
The project provided net operating income of $0.8 million for the quarter.

       During the second quarter, the Company and J.P. Morgan formed a joint
venture ("Springfield Station JV") to own and operate the Company's recently
developed Springfield Station property.

       Property Service Businesses. The Company uses the equity method of
accounting for its 99% non-voting interest in the Property Service Businesses.

       The decrease in income from Property Service Businesses of $1.1 million
in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily
due to the 1998 expiration of the Financing Services Agreement with CESCR. The
Company finalized the settlement of Financing Services in May 1999 with CESCR.

       During the second quarter of 1999, the Company paid $0.6 million in
settlement of its $1.8 million contingent purchase obligation related to the
1998 acquisition of the furnished corporate apartment business in Chicago.

       Joint Ventures. The Company entered into two joint ventures during the
second quarter, one an operating property ("Springfield Station JV") and the
other a development property ("University Center"). The Company's share of
income from the joint ventures totaled $0.1 million for the quarter.

       Other. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 9.9%
compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to costs related to the
Company's acquisition and development efforts. Net interest expense increased
$2.0 million during the quarter, or 18.0%, primarily due to additional debt
related to acquisitions and development partially offset by lower interest rates
on the line of credit and refinanced debt.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998.

       Summary. Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $9.7 million,
or 30.6%, from $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $41.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Funds from Operations ("FFO") of
the Operating Partnership increased $9.1 million, or 20.1%, from $45.0 million
to $54.1 million during the same period.


       Rental Properties. Revenue from all rental properties increased $22.2
million, or 18.9%, from $117.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
$139.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Operating expenses from
all rental operations increased $6.8 million, or 14.3% from $47.4 million during
the first half of 1998 to $54.2 million during the current period.

       Core Portfolio. Revenue from the core portfolio increased $6.7 million,
or 6.6%, over the prior year period resulting in average monthly revenue per
apartment unit of $1,068. This was primarily due to continued strong demand in
all submarkets, particularly northwest Washington, D.C. Management successfully
increased rents during the period and improved occupancy levels. Average
economic occupancy for the core portfolio was 97.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to 95.6%

                                       20
<PAGE>

for the comparable prior year. Expenses for the core portfolio increased $0.8
million, or 2.0%, due primarily to expected increases in real estate taxes, and
higher wages due to additional staffing at the properties.

       Acquisition Portfolio. The eight acquisition properties (defined as
properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1997) and three disposition
properties contributed approximately 54%, or $12.0 million, of the total rental
revenue increase and approximately $4.8 million of the total rental expense
increase.

       Development Portfolio. As of June 30, 1998, Courthouse Place had
delivered all of its 564 units. The project provided net operating income of
$1.1 million for the first six months of 1999.

       Property Service Businesses. The Company uses the equity method of
accounting for its 99% non-voting interest in the Property Service Businesses.

       The decrease in income from Property Service Businesses of $1.8 million
in the first half of 1999 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to
decreases of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for Financing Services
and Smith Corporate Living. The former is due to the expiration in 1998 of the
Financing Services agreement with CESCR. The latter is primarily due to
seasonality of the corporate furnished apartment business which was acquired in
mid-1998.

       Joint Ventures. The Company entered into three joint ventures during the
first half of 1999. The Company's share of income from the joint ventures
totaled $0.2 million for the period.

       Other. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 9.5%
compared to the prior year period due primarily to costs related to the
Company's acquisition and development efforts. Net interest expense increased
$4.3 million during the period, or 19.6%, primarily due to additional debt
related to acquisitions and development partially offset by lower interest rates
on the line of credit and refinanced debt.







LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Summary. Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $6.1
million from $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $58.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in FFO of $9
million was offset by a $10 million increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses in 1998 related to acquisitions and a $6.6 million decrease in other
assets.

       Net cash flow of $60.7 million was used by investment activities during
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $185.9 million during the
comparable prior year period due primarily to the acquisition of three
properties and one joint venture interest in 1999 as well as further investments
during the quarter in the four projects under construction. Partially offsetting
such outflows was the

                                       21
<PAGE>

$22.6 million in cash proceeds from the sale of The Manor and approximately
$50.1 million from the sale of a 52% interest in Springfield Station.

       Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $6.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, primarily comprised of $45.4 million of net cash
inflow from borrowings against the properties, the line of credit and
construction loans less $39.6 million of dividends/distributions. Net cash flows
provided by financing activities of $120.9 million in the comparable prior year
period primarily consisted of $75.0 million of inflow from the sale of preferred
stock and $82.8 million of net borrowings, less $3.0 million of prepayment
penalties and $34.8 million of dividends/distributions.

       Funds from Operations. Funds from Operations is defined under the revised
definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sale of property plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real
estate industry. Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the industry,
such as amortization of deferred financing costs and non-real estate assets, is
not added back. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (which, unlike Funds
from Operations, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other
events in the determination of net income) and should not be considered an
alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to
cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The
Company considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance
because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of real estate
assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have
accepted it as a performance measure. Comparison of the Company's presentation
of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other
REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the
application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.







       Funds from Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 are computed as follows (in thousands):

       These contracts are contingent upon satisfactory completion of
construction and attainment of final certificates of occupancy by the owners. At
June 30, 1999, the Company had posted three letters-of-credit totaling $7.7
million in accordance with three of the contracts each to be drawn only in the
event the Company defaults on its contractual obligation to purchase the
completed asset.


Joint Ventures

       In March 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan formed a joint venture, which
acquired the Renaissance, a 330-unit multifamily property in Tysons Corner,
Virginia for approximately $37 million. The joint venture plans to invest an
additional $2.0 million in initial capital improvements and has placed debt of
$19.0 million on the property. The debt carries an interest rate of 6.48% and
matures in February 2006. Ownership interests in the joint venture are held 75%
by J.P. Morgan and 25% by the Company. The Company's initial equity contribution
totaled $4.4 million consisting of 21,903 Operating Partnership units valued at
$0.7 million and cash of $3.7 million.

       In May 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan formed a joint venture
("Springfield Station JV") to own and operate the Company's recently developed
631-unit Springfield Station property. The Company sold a 52% interest in
Springfield Station JV to J.P. Morgan and received proceeds of approximately $50
million from the transaction. The joint venture placed $37 million in debt
financing on the property at 6.85% fixed interest, which matures on June 1,
2001. The Company provided a construction completion guarantee on the project as
well as a payment guarantee of $14.1 million of the debt. The construction
completion guarantee expires on October 1, 1999. The debt guarantee will expire
on or before the achievement of 92% occupancy for 45 consecutive days. The
Company will defer recognition of a $5.1 million gain on the sale until the
guarantees have expired.

       In May 1999, the Company and J.P. Morgan also formed a development joint
venture ("University Center JV") to develop a new 630-unit multifamily property
in Loudoun County, Virginia at the western end of the Dulles Technology
corridor. Ownership interests are held 60% by J.P. Morgan and 40% by the
Company. The joint venture intends to place debt financing for 50% of the
project's estimated $60 million development cost. Construction commenced during
the third quarter of 1999 with

                                       24
<PAGE>

final completion expected in 2001. The Company's initial equity contribution
consisted of land acquired in 1998 for $5.4 million less cash received of $3.0
million. A Company affiliate will provide development, property management and
marketing services to the venture for a market rate fee. The affiliate will
provide a construction completion guarantee to the venture.


Debt

       In February 1999, the Company repaid the $7.4 million mortgage on
Buchanan House through a draw on its line of credit and paid a prepayment
penalty of $0.9 million.

       In March 1999, the Company obtained a $38.0 million mortgage on Buchanan
House with an effective fixed interest rate of 6.67%. The loan is interest only
through March 2009, at which time principal amortization begins using a 30-year
amortization schedule with a balloon payment due February 1, 2011.

       In March 1999, the Company repaid the mortgage on Terrace and obtained a
new, interest-only mortgage of $15.6 million at an effective rate of 6.64% with
principal due April 1, 2007. The Company paid a prepayment penalty of $0.2
million.

       During the second quarter, the Company closed on a $269.5 million standby
credit facility with Fannie Mae which provides for non-recourse, long-term debt
for up to fifteen years. The initial draw on this facility was made during 1998
for $140 million at 6.75% for fifteen years. A second draw was made in May 1999
for $29.5 million at 6.845% for eight years. Terms and rates of subsequent draws
on this facility will be determined at the time of use.


       As of June 30, 1999, the Company had mortgage indebtedness and other
borrowings, which carried a weighted average interest rate of 6.92%, as follows:

Capital Expenditures

        For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total capital improvements were
$8.4 million, of which $7.0 million were for the core portfolio ($417 per unit).
Approximately 54% of the capital expenditures on the core portfolio in 1999 are
considered by management to generate net operating income ("NOI") by increasing
revenue or decreasing expenses ("NOI generating"). The remaining capital
expenditures on the core portfolio indirectly influence the Company's ability to
generate NOI ("non-NOI generating"). A summary of core capital expenditures
follows:

Year 2000

       In 1997, the Company began a comprehensive review of its year 2000
compliance issues utilizing an overlapping, three-phased approach. Phase I
involves assessments of building infrastructure and internal computer systems
including both hardware and software to identify possible compliance failures.
Phase II involves vendor compliance and actual testing of hardware and software
applications including significant electronic interfaces. Phase III involves
identifying remaining company-wide risks and development of contingency plans.
The Company has completed Phase I and expects to complete Phase II in the third
quarter of 1999. Phase III was initiated in March 1999 and is expected to run
through December 1999. Based on the review plan as well as the expected success
of remediation efforts currently underway, management believes the Company has
no material risks related to the ability of its hardware and software to
recognize the year 2000 and beyond as valid dates.

       The Company's primary financial and operational software programs were
purchased from outside vendors who have already resolved year 2000 issues. The
Company has received letters from these vendors indicating that their software
is Year 2000 compliant. The Company replaced one computer system which was not
year 2000 compliant at an estimated cost of approximately $1.6 million. The new
system will be depreciated over its estimated useful life of five years.

       As part of Phase II, the Company has taken steps to identify and contact
key vendors whose inability to provide service in the year 2000 could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business operations. With the exception
of utility services, the Company believes that there are no other critical
suppliers whose inability to provide service would materially affect business
operations. This is due primarily to the physical nature of the Company's
product as well as the availability of multiple suppliers of property services.
The Company does not have a contingency plan to address the possibility that
utility services may not be available, however, management believes that this is
a very unlikely scenario. Readers are cautioned that these conclusions involve
numerous subjective assumptions and there can be no assurances that management
has adequately identified or addressed all possible contingencies.

       Excluding the replacement system, the Company's Year 2000 compliance
efforts have been primarily conducted with internal staff. Accordingly, the
costs have been immaterial and are expensed as incurred.

     Section 3.  Dividends.
                 ---------

          (a) The holders of Series E Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
     receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
     legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential
     dividends payable in cash in an amount per share equal to the greater of
     (i) (A) 7.75% of the Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to
     $2.82875 per Series E Preferred Share) from the Issue Date up to and
     including the first anniversary of the Issue Date, (B) 8.25% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.01125 per Series E
     Preferred Share) from the first day after the period described in (A) up to
     and including the second anniversary of the Issue Date and (C) 8.50% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.1025 per Series E
     Preferred Share) thereafter or (ii) the ordinary cash dividends (determined
     on each Dividend Payment Date) on the Common Shares, or portion thereof,
     into which a Series E Preferred Share is convertible.  The dividends
     referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall equal the number
     of Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which a Series E Preferred Share
     is convertible, multiplied by the most current quarterly dividend on a
     Common Share on or before the applicable Dividend Payment Date.  If the
     Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on the Common Shares with
     respect to a Dividend Period after the date on which the Dividend Payment
     Date is declared pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Dividend
     Payment Date and the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this
     paragraph (a) with respect to such Dividend Period is greater than the
     dividend previously declared on the Series E Preferred Shares with respect
     to such Dividend Period, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend
     to the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares on the date on which the
     dividend on the Common Shares is paid, in an amount equal to the difference
     between (y) the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this
     paragraph (a) and (z) the amount of dividends previously declared on the
     Series E Preferred Shares with respect to such Dividend Period.  The
     dividends shall begin to accrue and shall be fully cumulative from the
     first day of the applicable

                                       5
<PAGE>

     Dividend Period, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there
     shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such
     dividends, and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the
     Board of Directors, in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates. Each such
     dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of Series E
     Preferred Shares as they appear in the records of the Corporation at the
     close of business on such record dates, not less than 10 nor more than 50
     days preceding such Dividend Payment Dates thereof, as shall be fixed by
     the Board of Directors. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend
     Periods may be declared and paid at any time and for such interim periods,
     without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of
     record on such date, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days preceding the
     payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Any
     dividend payment made on Series E Preferred Shares shall first be credited
     against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to Series
     E Preferred Shares which remains payable.

          (b) The amount of dividends referred to in clause (i) of Section 3(a)
     payable for each full Dividend Period on the Series E Preferred Shares
     shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four.  The
     initial Dividend Period will include a partial dividend for the period from
     the Issue Date until the last calendar day of the calendar quarter
     containing the Issue Date.  The amount of dividends payable for such
     period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, on the
     Series E  Preferred Shares shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
     of twelve 30-day months.  Holders of Series E Preferred Shares shall not be
     entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or shares, in
     excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series E
     Preferred Shares. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall
     be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series E
     Preferred Shares which may be in arrears.

          (c) So long as any Series E Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends, except as described in the immediately following sentence, shall
     be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of
     Parity Shares for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
     for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series E
     Preferred Shares for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the
     dividend payment date on such class or series of Parity Shares.  When
     dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not
     set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon Series E Preferred
     Shares and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of Parity
     Shares shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of
     dividends accumulated and unpaid on the Series E Preferred Shares and
     accumulated and unpaid on such Parity Shares.

          (d) So long as any Series E Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid solely in shares of,
     or options, warrants or

                                       6
<PAGE>

     rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Fully Junior Shares) shall
     be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution shall be
     declared or made or set apart for payment upon Junior Shares, nor shall any
     Junior Shares be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a
     redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Shares made for
     purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any
     subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made
     available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Junior Shares) by
     the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except by conversion into or
     exchange for Fully Junior Shares), unless in each case (i) the full
     cumulative dividends on all outstanding Series E Preferred Shares and any
     other Parity Shares of the Corporation shall have been or contemporaneously
     are declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment for all past
     Dividend Periods with respect to the Series E Preferred Shares and all past
     dividend periods with respect to such Parity Shares and (ii) sufficient
     funds shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or
     declared and set apart for the payment of the dividend for the current
     Dividend Period with respect to the Series E Preferred Shares and the
     current dividend period with respect to such Parity Shares.

          (e) No distributions on Series E Preferred Shares shall be declared by
     the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation
     at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the
     Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness,
     prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or
     provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would
     constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration
     or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

     Section 4.  Liquidation Preference.
                 ----------------------

          (a)  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
     distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus)
     shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares, the holders
     of the Series E Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive Thirty Six
     Dollars and Fifty Cents ($36.50) (the "Liquidation Preference") per Series
     E Preferred Share plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not
     earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final
     distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any
     further payment; provided, that the dividend payable with respect to the
                      --------
     Dividend Period containing the date of final distribution shall be equal to
     the greater of (i) the dividend provided in Section 3(a)(i) or (ii) the
     dividend determined pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) for the preceding Dividend
     Period.  If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof,
     distributable among the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares shall be
     insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and
     liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity
     Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be

                                       7
<PAGE>

     distributed among the holders of Series E Preferred Shares and any such
     other Parity Shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that
     would be payable on such Series E Preferred Shares and any such other
     Parity Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the
     purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the
     Corporation with one or more corporations, real estate investment trusts or
     other entities, (ii) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially
     all of the Corporation's property or business or (iii) a statutory share
     exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding
     up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

          (b) Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or
     class or classes of shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with or
     prior to the Series E Preferred Shares upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of
     the Series E Preferred Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other
     series or class or classes of Junior Shares shall, subject to the
     respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to
     receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the
     holders of the Series E Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share
     therein.

     Section 5.  Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
                 -------------------------------------------

          (a) The Series E Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable by the
     Corporation prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date.  On and after
     the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option,
     may redeem the Series E Preferred Shares, in whole at any time or from time
     to time in part as set forth herein, subject to the provisions described
     below:

              (i) Series E Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
          part, at the option of the Corporation, at any time on or after the
          third anniversary of the Issue Date by issuing and delivering to each
          holder for each Series E Preferred Share to be redeemed such number of
          authorized but previously unissued Common Shares as equals the
          Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated, accrued and unpaid
          dividends which are to be paid in cash as provided below) per Series E
          Preferred Share divided by the Conversion Price as in effect as of the
          opening of business on the Call Date; provided, however, that the
          Corporation may redeem Series E Preferred Shares pursuant to this
          paragraph (a)(i) only if (A) the Weighted Average Trading Price, for
          twenty (20) Trading Days, within the last thirty (30) Trading Days
          immediately before the date of the notice given pursuant to Section
          5(d), equals or exceeds 108% of the Conversion Price in effect on the
          date of the notice given pursuant to Section 5(d) and (B) at least
          1,000,000 Common Shares were traded during such 30 Trading Days.

                                       8
<PAGE>

              (ii) Series E Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
          part, at the option of the Corporation at any time on or after the
          third anniversary of the Issue Date out of funds legally available
          therefor at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the
          Liquidation Preference per Series E Preferred Share (plus all
          accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends as provided below).

          (b) Upon any redemption of Series E Preferred Shares pursuant to  this
     Section 5, the Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends, if
     any, thereon to the Call Date, without interest.  If the Call Date falls
     after a dividend payment record date and prior to the corresponding
     Dividend Payment Date, then each holder of Series E Preferred Shares at the
     close of business on such dividend payment record date shall be entitled to
     the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment
     Date notwithstanding any redemption of such shares before such Dividend
     Payment Date.  Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no
     payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     Series E Preferred Shares called for redemption.

          (c) If full cumulative dividends on the Series E Preferred Shares and
     any other class or series of Parity Shares of the Corporation have not been
     declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Series E
     Preferred Shares may not be redeemed under this Section 5 in part and the
     Corporation may not purchase or acquire Series E Preferred Shares,
     otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same
     terms to all holders of Series E Preferred Shares.

          (d) Notice of the redemption of any Series E Preferred Shares under
     this Section 5 shall be mailed by first-class mail to each holder of record
     of Series E Preferred Shares to be redeemed at the address of each such
     holder as shown on the Corporation's records, not less than 30 nor more
     than 90 days prior to the Call Date.  Neither the failure to mail any
     notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the
     mailing thereof, to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of
     the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect
     to the other holders.  Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein
     provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date
     mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice.  Each such mailed
     notice shall state, as appropriate:  (1) the Call Date; (2) the number of
     Series E Preferred Shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares
     held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be
     redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price if the Series E
     Preferred Shares are redeemed for cash and the number of Common Shares to
     be issued if the Series E Preferred Shares are redeemed for Common Shares;
     (4) the place or places at which certificates for such shares are to be
     surrendered; (5) the then-current Conversion Price; and (6) that dividends
     on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such Call Date except
     as otherwise provided herein.  Notice having been mailed as aforesaid,

                                       9
<PAGE>

     from and after the Call Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make
     available an amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i)
     except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the Series E Preferred
     Shares so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, (ii) such shares
     shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the
     holders thereof as holders of Series E Preferred Shares of the Corporation
     shall cease (except the rights to convert and to receive the Common Shares
     and/or cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon
     surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to
     receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation's obligation to
     provide Common Shares and/or cash in accordance with the preceding sentence
     shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation
     shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of
     the Corporation) that has an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of
     New York, and that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that
     has, capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, necessary for such
     redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such Common Shares
     and/or cash be applied to the redemption of the Series E Preferred Shares
     so called for redemption. In the case of any redemption pursuant to
     paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5, at the close of business on the Call
     Date, each holder of Series E Preferred Shares to be redeemed (unless the
     Corporation defaults in the delivery of the Common Shares or cash payable
     on such Call Date) shall be deemed to be the record holder of the Common
     Shares into which such Series E Preferred Shares are to be converted at
     redemption, regardless of whether such holder has surrendered the
     certificates representing the Series E Preferred Shares to be so redeemed.
     No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of Series E
     Preferred Shares to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the
     Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at
     the end of two years from the Call Date shall revert to the general funds
     of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so
     called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the
     Corporation for the payment of such cash.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such
     notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly
     endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and
     if the notice shall so state), such shares shall be exchanged for any cash
     (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed.  If
     fewer than all the outstanding Series E Preferred Shares are to be
     redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from
     outstanding Series E Preferred Shares not previously called for redemption
     pro rata (as nearly as may be), by lot or by any other method determined by
     the Corporation in its sole discretion to be equitable.  If fewer than all
     the Series E Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed,
     then new certificates representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued
     without cost to the holder thereof.

          (e) In the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this
     Section 5,

                                      10
<PAGE>

               (i) no fractional Common Shares or scrip representing fractions
          of Common Shares shall be issued upon redemption of the Series E
          Preferred Common Shares.  Instead of any fractional interest in Common
          Shares that would otherwise be deliverable upon redemption of Series E
          Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such
          share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) based upon the
          Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
          immediately preceding the Call Date.  If more than one share shall be
          surrendered for redemption at one time by the same holder, the number
          of full Common Shares issuable upon redemption thereof shall be
          computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series E Preferred
          Shares so surrendered.

               (ii) the Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued upon
          redemption of Series E  Preferred Shares shall be validly issued,
          fully paid and non-assessable.  The Corporation shall endeavor to list
          the Common Shares required to be delivered upon any such redemption of
          Series E Preferred Shares, prior to such redemption, upon each
          national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding
          Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

     Section 6.  Conversion.  Holders of Series E Preferred Shares shall have
                 ----------
the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into Common Shares, as
follows:

          (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section
     6 and the provisions of Article VIII of the Corporation's Articles of
     Incorporation, a holder of Series E Preferred Shares shall have the right,
     at any time, at his or her option, to convert such shares into the number
     of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares obtained by dividing the
     aggregate Liquidation Preference of such shares (exclusive of accrued but
     unpaid dividends) by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and on
     the date provided for in the last paragraph of paragraph (b) of this
     Section 6) by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to
     be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6;
     provided, however, that the right to convert shares called for redemption
     --------  -------
     pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of business on the fifth
     Business Day prior to the Call Date fixed for such redemption, unless the
     Corporation shall default in making payment of the cash payable upon such
     redemption under Section 5.

          (b) In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each
     Series E Preferred Share to be converted shall surrender the certificate
     representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in
     blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice
     to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert such Series E
     Preferred Shares.  Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be
     issued in the same name as the name in which such Series E Preferred Share
     is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied
     by instruments

                                      11
<PAGE>

     of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the
     holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient
     to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to
     the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid).

          Holders of Series E Preferred Shares at the close of business on a
     dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend
     payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment
     record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date.  However, Series E
     Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion during the period between the
     close of business on any dividend payment record date and the opening of
     business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except shares
     converted after the issuance of notice of redemption with respect to a Call
     Date during such period, such Series E Preferred Shares being entitled to
     such dividend on the Dividend Payment Date) must be accompanied by payment
     of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend
     Payment Date.  A holder of Series E Preferred Shares on a dividend payment
     record date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for
     conversion into Common Shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such Series E
     Preferred Shares on such date, and the converting holder need not include
     payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender of Series E Preferred
     Shares for conversion. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make
     no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     converted shares or for dividends on the Common Shares issued upon such
     conversion.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for
     Series E Preferred Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and
     shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on his or her written
     order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares
     issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions
     of this Section 6, and any fractional interest in respect of a Common Share
     arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (c)
     of this Section 6.

          Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
     prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for
     Series E Preferred Shares shall have been surrendered and such notice shall
     have been received by the Corporation as aforesaid (and if applicable,
     payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares shall
     have been received by the Corporation as described above), and the person
     or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
     Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to
     have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented
     thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the
     Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the share
     transfer books of the Corporation shall be

                                      12
<PAGE>

     closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed
     to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on
     the next succeeding day on which such share transfer books are open, but
     such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on
     which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by
     the Corporation.

          (c) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of Common
     Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares.
     Instead of any fractional interest in a Common Share that would otherwise
     be deliverable upon the conversion of a Series E Preferred Share, the
     Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based
     upon the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
     immediately preceding the date of conversion.  If more than one share shall
     be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of
     full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
     the basis of the aggregate number of Series E Preferred Shares so
     surrendered.

          (d) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as
     follows:

              (i) If the Corporation shall after July 2, 1999 (A) pay a
          dividend or make a distribution on its capital shares in Common
          Shares, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater
          number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a
          smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by
          reclassification of its Common Shares, the Conversion Price in effect
          at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the
          determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
          distribution or at the opening of business on the Business Day next
          following the day on which such subdivision, combination or
          reclassification becomes effective, as the case may be, shall be
          adjusted so that the holder of any Series E Preferred Share thereafter
          surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of
          Common Shares that such holder would have owned or have been entitled
          to receive after the happening of any of the events described above as
          if such Series E Preferred Shares had been converted immediately prior
          to the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution or the
          effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
          reclassification.  An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph
          (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business
          on the Business Day next following the record date (except as provided
          in paragraph (h) below) in the case of a dividend or distribution and
          shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on
          the Business Day next following the effective date in the case of a
          subdivision, combination or reclassification.

              (ii) If the Corporation shall issue after July 2, 1999 rights,
          options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them
          (for a period expiring


                                      13
<PAGE>

          within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for
          or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than 94% (100% if
          a stand-by underwriter is used and charges the Corporation a
          commission) of the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the record
          date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
          rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect at
          the opening of business on the Business Day next following such record
          date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying
          (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of
          business on the Business Day next following the date fixed for such
          determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
          sum of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of
          business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the number
          of shares that the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the
          exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common Shares would
          purchase at 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in the case of a
          stand-by underwriting), and the denominator of which shall be the sum
          of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of
          business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the number
          of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase
          pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall
          become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
          next following such record date (except as provided in paragraph (h)
          below). In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle
          the holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common
          Shares at less than 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in the case
          of a stand-by underwriting), there shall be taken into account any
          consideration received by the Corporation upon issuance and upon
          exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the value of such
          consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
          Directors.

               (iii)  If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of its
          Common Shares any securities of the Corporation (other than Common
          Shares) or evidence of its indebtedness or assets (excluding
          cumulative cash dividends or distributions paid with respect to the
          Common Shares after December 31, 1998 which are not in excess of the
          following:  the sum of (A) the Corporation's cumulative undistributed
          Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus (B) the cumulative
          amount of Funds from Operations, as determined by the Board of
          Directors, after December 31, 1998, minus (C) the cumulative amount of
          dividends accrued or paid in respect of the Series E Preferred Shares
          or any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation
          after July 2, 1999) or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
          purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights, options and
          warrants issued to all holders of Common Shares entitling them for a
          period expiring within 45 days after the record date referred to in
          subparagraph (ii) above to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares,
          which rights and warrants are referred to in and treated under

                                      14
<PAGE>

          subparagraph (ii) above) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in
          this subparagraph (iii) collectively called the "Securities" and
                                                           ----------
          individually a "Security"), then in each such case the Conversion
                          --------
          Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
          the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of
          stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by (y) a fraction,
          the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per Common Share
          on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as
          determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
          conclusive), of the portion of the Securities or assets or evidences
          of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights, options or warrants
          applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be
          the Fair Market Value per  Common Share on the record date mentioned
          below.  Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the
          opening of business on the Business Day next following (except as
          provided in paragraph (h) below) the record date for the determination
          of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.  For the
          purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the distribution of a Security,
          which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Shares on
          the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such
          distribution of such Security, but also is distributed with each
          Common Share delivered to a Person converting a Series E Preferred
          Share after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment
          of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); provided
                                                                       --------
          that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a Series E
          Preferred Share would no longer be entitled to receive such Security
          with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all
          such Securities), a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to
          have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided
          in this subparagraph (iii) (and such day shall be deemed to be "the
          date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
          receive such distribution" and "the record date" within the meaning of
          the two preceding sentences).

               (iv) In case a tender or exchange offer (which term shall not
          include open market repurchases by the Corporation) made by the
          Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any
          portion of the Common Shares shall expire and such tender or exchange
          offer shall involve the payment by the Corporation or such subsidiary
          of consideration per Common Share having a fair market value (as
          determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
          determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the
          Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders
                                                      ---------------
          or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer,
          that exceeds the Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading
          Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be
          reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying the Conversion Price in effect

                                      15
<PAGE>

          immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price
          reduction contemplated by this subparagraph, by a fraction of which
          the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding
          (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time,
          multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading
          Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and the denominator shall be
          the sum of (A) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the
          aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based upon the
          acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or
          exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not
          withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up
          to any maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (B)
                                                    ----------------
          the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (less any
          Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price
          per Common Share on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
          Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
          opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.

               (v) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required
          unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease
          of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments
                                        --------  -------
          that by reason of this subparagraph (v) are not required to be made
          shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
          adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment
                                     --------  -------
          shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this
          Section 6 (other than this subparagraph (v)) not later than such time
          as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
          distribution to the holders of Common Shares.  Notwithstanding any
          other provisions of this Section 6, the Corporation shall not be
          required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
          issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any plan providing for the
          reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the
          Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in
          Common Shares under such plan.  All calculations under this Section 6
          shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or
          to the nearest one-tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded
          upward), as the case may be.  Anything in this paragraph (d) to the
          contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the
          extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion
          Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (d), as it in
          its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any share
          dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of
          shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase shares or
          securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash
          dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall
          not be taxable.
          (e)  If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including
     without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, self
     tender offer for all or

                                      16

     substantially all of its Common Shares, sale of all or substantially all of
     the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the Common Shares and
     excluding any transaction as to which subparagraph (d)(i) of this Section 6
     applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a
     "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which all or substantially all
      -----------
     of the Corporation's Common Shares are converted into the right to receive
     shares, securities or other property (including cash or any combination
     thereof), each Series E Preferred Share which is not redeemed or converted
     into the right to receive shares, securities or other property prior to
     such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount
     of shares, securities and other property (including cash or any combination
     thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder
     of that number of Common Shares into which one Series E Preferred Share was
     convertible immediately prior to such Transaction, assuming such holder of
     Common Shares (i) is not a Person with which the Corporation consolidated
     or into which the Corporation merged or which merged into the Corporation
     or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be
     ("Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii)
       ------------------
     failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount
     of shares, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon
     such Transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of shares, securities
     and other property (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction is not
     the same for each Common Share held immediately prior to such Transaction
     by other than a Constituent Person or an affiliate thereof and in respect
     of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("Non-
                                                                      ----
     Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this paragraph (e) the kind and
     --------------
     amount of shares, securities and other property (including cash) receivable
     upon such Transaction by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the
     kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing
     Shares). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the
     terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this
     paragraph (e), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any
     Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the
     successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the
     holders of the Series E Preferred Shares that will contain provisions
     enabling the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares that remain
     outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the consideration
     received by holders of Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect
     immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (e)
     shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

          (f)  If:

               (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other
          distribution) on its Common Shares (other than cash dividends or
          distributions paid with respect to the Common Shares after December
          31, 1998 not in excess of the sum of the Corporation's cumulative
          undistributed Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus the
          cumulative amount of Funds from Operations,

                                      17
<PAGE>

          as determined by the Board of Directors, after December 31, 1998,
          minus the cumulative amount of dividends accrued or paid in respect of
          the Series E Preferred Shares or any other class or series of
          preferred shares of capital stock of the Corporation after July 2,
          1999); or

               (ii)   the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all
          holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants to subscribe
          for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, options
          or warrants; or

               (iii)  there shall be any reclassification of the Common Shares
          (other than an event to which subparagraph (d)(i) of this Section 6
          applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a
          party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is
          required, or a statutory share exchange, or a self tender offer by the
          Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common
          Shares or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
          assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or

               (iv)   there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

     then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and
     shall cause to be mailed to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares at
     their addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation, as promptly as
     possible, but at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
     specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken
     for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights,
     options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
     which the holders of Common Shares of record to be entitled to such
     dividend, distribution or rights, options or warrants are to be determined
     or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
     statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
     expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to
     exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any,
     deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory
     share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
     Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not
     affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this
     Section 6.

          (g) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the
     Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's
     certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
     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 delivery of such
     certificate, the Corporation shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of
     the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the
     effective date of such

                                      18
<PAGE>

     adjustment and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion
     Price to the holder of each Series E Preferred Share at such holder's last
     address as shown on the records of the Corporation.

          (h) In any case in which paragraph (d) of this Section 6 provides that
     an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record
     date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such
     event (A) issuing to the holder of any Series E Preferred Share converted
     after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
     additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
     adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable
     upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying
     to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to
     paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

          (i) There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of
     the issuance of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation in a
     reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as
     specifically set forth in this Section 6.  If any action or transaction
     would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one
     paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made and such
     adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute
     value.

          (j) If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common
     Shares, other than action described in this Section 6, that in the opinion
     of the Board of Directors would materially and adversely affect the
     conversion rights of the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares, the
     Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Shares may be adjusted, to the
     extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the
     Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable
     in the circumstances.

          (k) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
     keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its
     authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting
     conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares, the full number of Common
     Shares deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series E
     Preferred Shares not theretofore converted.  For purposes of this paragraph
     (k), the number of Common Shares that shall be deliverable upon the
     conversion of all outstanding Series E Preferred Shares shall be computed
     as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a
     single holder.

          The Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued upon
     conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares shall be validly issued, fully
     paid and non-assessable.  Before taking any action that would cause an
     adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then-par value of the
     Common Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares,
     the Corporation will take any action that, in the opinion of

                                      19
<PAGE>

     its counsel, may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and
     legally issue fully paid and (subject to any customary qualification based
     upon the nature of a real estate investment trust) non-assessable Common
     Shares at such adjusted Conversion Price.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to list the Common Shares required to
     be delivered upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares, prior to
     such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which
     the outstanding Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state
     securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance
     of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon
     conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares.  In addition to any legend
     required by Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation, the certificates
     evidencing such securities shall bear such legends restricting transfer
     thereof in the absence of registration under applicable securities laws or
     an exemption therefrom as the Corporation may in good faith deem
     appropriate.

          (l) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar
     issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
     Common Shares or other securities or property on conversion of the Series E
     Preferred Shares pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation
                                       --------  -------
     shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any
     transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Shares or other
     securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the
     Series E Preferred Shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery
     shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery
     has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to
     the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been
     paid.

     Section 7.  Shares To Be Retired.  All Series E Preferred Shares which
                 --------------------
shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be
restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of capital stock of the
Corporation, without designation as to class or series.

     Section 8.  Ranking.  Any class or series of shares of capital stock of the
                 -------
Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

          (a) prior to the Series E Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the
     receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to
     the holders of Series E Preferred Shares;

                                      20
<PAGE>

          (b) on a parity with the Series E Preferred Shares, as to the payment
     of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or
     redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof shall be different from
     those of the Series E Preferred Shares, if the holders of such class or
     series and the Series E Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the receipt
     of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid
     dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or
     priority one over the other ("Parity Shares");
                                   -------------

          (c) junior to the Series E Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding up, if such class or series shall be Junior Shares; and

          (d) junior to the Series E Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, if such class or series shall be Fully Junior
     Shares.

     Section 9.  Voting. If and whenever four quarterly dividends (whether or
                 ------
not consecutive) payable on the Series E Preferred Shares or any series or class
of Parity Shares shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such
quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full),
whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the
Board of Directors shall be increased by two and the holders of Series E
Preferred Shares, together with the holders of shares of every other series of
Parity Shares (any such other series, the "Voting Preferred Shares"), voting as
                                           -----------------------
a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two
additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of
stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting
of the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares
called as hereinafter provided.  Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Series
E Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares then outstanding shall have
been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall
have been paid or declared and set apart for payment,  then the right of the
holders of the Series E Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares to
elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same
provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar
future arrearage in quarterly dividends), and the terms of office of all persons
elected as directors by the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares and the
Voting Preferred Shares shall forthwith terminate and the number of the Board of
Directors shall be reduced accordingly.  At any time after such voting power
shall have been so vested in the holders of Series E Preferred Shares and the
Voting Preferred Shares, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the
written request of any holder of Series E Preferred Shares (addressed to the
Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special
meeting of the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares and of the Voting
Preferred Shares for the election of the directors to be elected by them as
herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in

                                      21
<PAGE>

the Bylaws of the Corporation for a special meeting of the stockholders or as
required by law. If any such special meeting required to be called as above
provided shall not be called by the Secretary within 20 days after receipt of
any such request, then any holder of Series E Preferred Shares may call such
meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access
to the records of the Corporation. The directors elected at any such special
meeting shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or
special meeting held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously
terminated as above provided. If any vacancy shall occur among the directors
elected by the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred
Shares, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the
nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Series E
Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares or the successor of such
remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders
or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have
previously terminated as provided above.

     So long as any Series E Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to
any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation,  the affirmative vote of at least 66%
of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares
given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at
any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or
validating:

          (a) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of
     the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation's By-Laws or
     these Articles Supplementary that materially and adversely affects the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Series E
     Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions
                       --------  -------
     of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation so as to authorize or create
     or to increase the authorized amount of, any Fully Junior Shares,  Junior
     Shares that are not senior in any respect to the Series E Preferred Shares
     or any Parity Shares shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Series E Preferred
     Shares; or

          (b) A share exchange that affects the Series E Preferred Shares, a
     consolidation with or merger of the Corporation into another entity, or a
     consolidation with or merger of another entity into the Corporation, unless
     in each such case each Series E Preferred Share (i) shall remain
     outstanding without a material and adverse change to its terms and rights
     or (ii) shall be converted into or exchanged for convertible preferred
     shares of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion or other
     rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends,
     qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption thereof identical to
     that of a Series E Preferred Share (except for changes that do not
     materially and adversely affect the holders of the Series E Preferred
     Shares); or

          (c) The authorization, reclassification  or creation of, or the
     increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or any
     security convertible into shares of

                                      22
<PAGE>

     any class ranking prior to the Series E Preferred Shares in the
     distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation or in the payment of dividends;

provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Series E Preferred Shares
- --------  -------
shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or
repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or
convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for
the redemption of all Series E Preferred Shares at the time outstanding to the
extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of these Articles
Supplementary.

     For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each Series E
Preferred Share shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other
series of Preferred Shares shall have the right to vote with the Series E
Preferred Shares as a single class on any matter, then the Series E Preferred
Shares and such other series shall have with respect to such matters one (1)
vote per $27.08 of stated liquidation preference.  Except as otherwise required
by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Series E Preferred Shares shall
not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights
and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders
thereof shall not be required for the taking of any Corporation action.

     Section 10.  Record Holders.  The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may
                  --------------
deem and treat the record holder of any Series E Preferred Shares as the true
and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the
Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                                      23

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused these Articles Supplementary
to be signed its name and on its behalf by its authorized officers who

     Section 3.  Dividends.
                 ---------

          (a)    The holders of Series F Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
     receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
     legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential
     dividends payable in cash in an amount per share equal to the greater of
     (i) (A) 7.75% of the Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to
     $2.90625 per Series F Preferred Share) from the Issue Date up to and
     including the first anniversary of the Issue Date, (B) 8.25% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.09375 per Series F
     Preferred Share) from the first day after the period described in (A) up to
     and including the second anniversary of the Issue Date and (C) 8.50% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.1875 per Series F
     Preferred Share) thereafter or (ii) the ordinary cash dividends (determined
     on each Dividend Payment Date) on the Common Shares, or portion thereof,
     into which a Series F Preferred Share is convertible.  The dividends
     referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall equal the number
     of Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which a Series F Preferred Share
     is convertible, multiplied by the most current quarterly dividend on a
     Common Share on or before the applicable Dividend Payment Date.  If the
     Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on the Common Shares with
     respect to a Dividend Period after the date on which the Dividend Payment
     Date is declared pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Dividend
     Payment Date and the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this
     paragraph (a) with respect to such Dividend Period is greater than the
     dividend previously declared on the Series F Preferred Shares with respect
     to such Dividend

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Period, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend to the holders of
     the Series F Preferred Shares on the date on which the dividend on the
     Common Shares is paid, in an amount equal to the difference between (y) the
     dividend calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) and (z)
     the amount of dividends previously declared on the Series F Preferred
     Shares with respect to such Dividend Period. The dividends shall begin to
     accrue and shall be fully cumulative from the first day of the applicable
     Dividend Period, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there
     shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such
     dividends, and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the
     Board of Directors, in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates. Each such
     dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of Series F
     Preferred Shares as they appear in the records of the Corporation at the
     close of business on such record dates, not less than 10 nor more than 50
     days preceding such Dividend Payment Dates thereof, as shall be fixed by
     the Board of Directors. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend
     Periods may be declared and paid at any time and for such interim periods,
     without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of
     record on such date, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days preceding the
     payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Any
     dividend payment made on Series F Preferred Shares shall first be credited
     against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to Series
     F Preferred Shares which remains payable.

          (b)    The amount of dividends referred to in clause (i) of Section
     3(a) payable for each full Dividend Period on the Series F Preferred Shares
     shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four. The initial
     Dividend Period will include a partial dividend for the period from the
     Issue Date until the last calendar day of the calendar quarter containing
     the Issue Date. The amount of dividends payable for such period, or any
     other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, on the Series F Preferred
     Shares shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
     months. Holders of Series F Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any
     dividends, whether payable in cash, property or shares, in excess of
     cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series F Preferred Shares.
     No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in
     respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series F Preferred
     Shares which may be in arrears.

          (c)    So long as any Series F Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends, except as described in the immediately following sentence, shall
     be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of
     Parity Shares for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
     for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series F
     Preferred Shares for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the
     dividend payment date on such class or series of Parity Shares.  When
     dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not
     set apart, as aforesaid, all

                                       7
<PAGE>

     dividends declared upon Series F Preferred Shares and all dividends
     declared upon any other class or series of Parity Shares shall be declared
     ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated
     and unpaid on the Series F Preferred Shares and accumulated and unpaid on
     such Parity Shares.

          (d)    So long as any Series F Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid solely in shares of,
     or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of,
     Fully Junior Shares) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or
     other distribution shall be declared or made or set apart for payment upon
     Junior Shares, nor shall any Junior Shares be redeemed, purchased or
     otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition
     of Common Shares  made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit
     plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any
     moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption
     of any Junior Shares) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except by
     conversion into or exchange for Fully Junior Shares), unless in each case
     (i) the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding Series F Preferred
     Shares and any other Parity Shares of the Corporation shall have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and set apart for
     payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series F
     Preferred Shares and all past dividend periods with respect to such Parity
     Shares and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been or contemporaneously are
     declared and paid or declared and set apart for the payment of the dividend
     for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Series F Preferred
     Shares and the current dividend period with respect to such Parity Shares.

          (e)    No distributions on Series F Preferred Shares shall be declared
     by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the
     Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of
     the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness,
     prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or
     provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would
     constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration
     or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

     Section 4.  Liquidation Preference.
                 ----------------------

          (a)    In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
     the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
     distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus)
     shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares, the holders
     of the Series F Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive Thirty Seven
     Dollars and Fifty Cents ($37.50) (the "Liquidation Preference") per Series
     F Preferred Share plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not
     earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final
     distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any
     further

                                       8
<PAGE>

     payment; provided, that the dividend payable with respect to the Dividend
              --------
     Period containing the date of final distribution shall be equal to the
     greater of (i) the dividend provided in Section 3(a)(i) or (ii) the
     dividend determined pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) for the preceding Dividend
     Period. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof,
     distributable among the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares shall be
     insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and
     liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity
     Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed
     among the holders of Series F Preferred Shares and any such other Parity
     Shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be
     payable on such Series F Preferred Shares and any such other Parity Shares
     if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this
     Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or
     more corporations, real estate investment trusts or other entities, (ii) a
     sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation's
     property or business or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be
     deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or
     involuntary, of the Corporation.

          (b)    Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or
     class or classes of shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with or
     prior to the Series F Preferred Shares upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of
     the Series F Preferred Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other
     series or class or classes of Junior Shares shall, subject to the
     respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to
     receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the
     holders of the Series F Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share
     therein.

     Section 5.  Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
                 -------------------------------------------

          (a)    The Series F Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable by the
     Corporation prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date.  On and after
     the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option,
     may redeem the Series F Preferred Shares, in whole at any time or from time
     to time in part as set forth herein, subject to the provisions described
     below:

                 (i)  Series F Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
          part, at the option of the Corporation, at any time on or after the
          fifth anniversary of the Issue Date by issuing and delivering to each
          holder for each Series F Preferred Share to be redeemed such number of
          authorized but previously unissued Common Shares as equals the
          Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated, accrued and unpaid
          dividends which are to be paid in cash as

                                       9
<PAGE>

          provided below) per Series F Preferred Share divided by the Conversion
          Price as in effect as of the opening of business on the Call Date;
          provided, however, that the Corporation may redeem Series F Preferred
          Shares pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) only if (A) the Weighted
          Average Trading Price, for twenty (20) Trading Days, within the last
          thirty (30) Trading Days immediately before the date of the notice
          given pursuant to Section 5(d), equals or exceeds 108% of the
          Conversion Price in effect on the date of the notice given pursuant to
          Section 5(d) and (B) at least 1,000,000 Common Shares were traded
          during such 30 Trading Days.

                 (ii) Series F Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
          part, at the option of the Corporation at any time on or after the
          fifth anniversary of the Issue Date out of funds legally available
          therefor at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the
          Liquidation Preference per Series F Preferred Share (plus all
          accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends as provided below).

          (b)    Upon any redemption of Series F Preferred Shares pursuant to
     this Section 5, the Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends,
     if any, thereon to the Call Date, without interest. If the Call Date falls
     after a dividend payment record date and prior to the corresponding
     Dividend Payment Date, then each holder of Series F Preferred Shares at the
     close of business on such dividend payment record date shall be entitled to
     the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment
     Date notwithstanding any redemption of such shares before such Dividend
     Payment Date. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no
     payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     Series F Preferred Shares called for redemption.

          (c)    If full cumulative dividends on the Series F Preferred Shares
     and any other class or series of Parity Shares of the Corporation have not
     been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Series F
     Preferred Shares may not be redeemed under this Section 5 in part and the
     Corporation may not purchase or acquire Series F Preferred Shares,
     otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same
     terms to all holders of Series F Preferred Shares.

          (d)    Notice of the redemption of any Series F Preferred Shares under
     this Section 5 shall be mailed by first-class mail to each holder of record
     of Series F Preferred Shares to be redeemed at the address of each such
     holder as shown on the Corporation's records, not less than 30 nor more
     than 90 days prior to the Call Date.  Neither the failure to mail any
     notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the
     mailing thereof, to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of
     the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect
     to the other holders.  Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein
     provided shall be conclu-

                                       10
<PAGE>

     sively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not
     the holder receives the notice. Each such mailed notice shall state, as
     appropriate: (1) the Call Date; (2) the number of Series F Preferred Shares
     to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to
     be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3)
     the redemption price if the Series F Preferred Shares are redeemed for cash
     and the number of Common Shares to be issued if the Series F Preferred
     Shares are redeemed for Common Shares; (4) the place or places at which
     certificates for such shares are to be surrendered; (5) the then-current
     Conversion Price; and (6) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall
     cease to accrue on such Call Date except as otherwise provided herein.
     Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date
     (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available an amount of cash
     necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided
     herein, dividends on the Series F Preferred Shares so called for redemption
     shall cease to accrue, (ii) such shares shall no longer be deemed to be
     outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of
     Series F Preferred Shares of the Corporation shall cease (except the rights
     to convert and to receive the Common Shares and/or cash payable upon such
     redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of
     their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable
     thereon). The Corporation's obligation to provide Common Shares and/or cash
     in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on
     or before the Call Date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust
     company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has an office
     in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and that has, or is an
     affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, capital and surplus of at
     least $50,000,000, necessary for such redemption, in trust, with
     irrevocable instructions that such Common Shares and/or cash be applied to
     the redemption of the Series F Preferred Shares so called for redemption.
     In the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section
     5, at the close of business on the Call Date, each holder of Series F
     Preferred Shares to be redeemed (unless the Corporation defaults in the
     delivery of the Common Shares or cash payable on such Call Date) shall be
     deemed to be the record holder of the Common Shares into which such Series
     F Preferred Shares are to be converted at redemption, regardless of whether
     such holder has surrendered the certificates representing the Series F
     Preferred Shares to be so redeemed. No interest shall accrue for the
     benefit of the holders of Series F Preferred Shares to be redeemed on any
     cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws,
     any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Call Date shall
     revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the
     holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the
     general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such
     notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly
     endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and
     if the notice shall so state), such shares

                                       11
<PAGE>

     shall be exchanged for any cash (without interest thereon) for which such
     shares have been redeemed. If fewer than all the outstanding Series F
     Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be
     selected by the Corporation from outstanding Series F Preferred Shares not
     previously called for redemption pro rata (as nearly as may be), by lot or
     by any other method determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion to
     be equitable. If fewer than all the Series F Preferred Shares represented
     by any certificate are redeemed, then new certificates representing the
     unredeemed shares shall be issued without cost to the holder thereof.

          (e)    In the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of
     this Section 5,

                 (i)  no fractional Common Shares or scrip representing
          fractions of Common Shares shall be issued upon redemption of the
          Series F Preferred Common Shares. Instead of any fractional interest
          in Common Shares that would otherwise be deliverable upon redemption
          of Series F Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the holder
          of such share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) based
          upon the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
          immediately preceding the Call Date. If more than one share shall be
          surrendered for redemption at one time by the same holder, the number
          of full Common Shares issuable upon redemption thereof shall be
          computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series F Preferred
          Shares so surrendered.

                 (ii) the Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued
          upon redemption of Series F Preferred Shares shall be validly issued,
          fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation shall endeavor to list
          the Common Shares required to be delivered upon any such redemption of
          Series F Preferred Shares, prior to such redemption, upon each
          national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding
          Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

     Section 6.  Conversion.  Holders of Series F Preferred Shares shall have
                 ----------
the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into Common Shares, as
follows:

          (a)    Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this
     Section 6 and the provisions of Article VIII of the Corporation's Articles
     of Incorporation, a holder of Series F Preferred Shares shall have the
     right, at any time, at his or her option, to convert such shares into the
     number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares obtained by dividing
     the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such shares (exclusive of accrued
     but unpaid dividends) by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and
     on the date provided for in the last paragraph of paragraph (b) of this
     Section 6) by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to
     be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6;
     provided, however, that the right to convert
     --------  -------

                                       12
<PAGE>

     shares called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the
     close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Call Date fixed
     for such redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment
     of the cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5.

          (b)    In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each
     Series F Preferred Share to be converted shall surrender the certificate
     representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in
     blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice
     to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert such Series F
     Preferred Shares.  Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be
     issued in the same name as the name in which such Series F Preferred Share
     is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied
     by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly
     executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an
     amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence
     reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes
     have been paid).

          Holders of Series F Preferred Shares at the close of business on a
     dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend
     payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment
     record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date.  However, Series F
     Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion during the period between the
     close of business on any dividend payment record date and the opening of
     business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except shares
     converted after the issuance of notice of redemption with respect to a Call
     Date during such period, such Series F Preferred Shares being entitled to
     such dividend on the Dividend Payment Date) must be accompanied by payment
     of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend
     Payment Date.  A holder of Series F Preferred Shares on a dividend payment
     record date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for
     conversion into Common Shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such Series F
     Preferred Shares on such date, and the converting holder need not include
     payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender of Series F Preferred
     Shares for conversion. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make
     no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     converted shares or for dividends on the Common Shares issued upon such
     conversion.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for
     Series F Preferred Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and
     shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on his or her written
     order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares
     issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions
     of this Section 6, and any fractional interest in respect of a

                                       13
<PAGE>

     Common Share arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in
     paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

          Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
     prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for
     Series F Preferred Shares shall have been surrendered and such notice shall
     have been received by the Corporation as aforesaid (and if applicable,
     payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares shall
     have been received by the Corporation as described above), and the person
     or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
     Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to
     have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented
     thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the
     Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the share
     transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which
     event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or
     holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on
     which such share transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at
     the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have
     been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation.

          (c)    No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of Common
     Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares.
     Instead of any fractional interest in a Common Share that would otherwise
     be deliverable upon the conversion of a Series F Preferred Share, the
     Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based
     upon the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
     immediately preceding the date of conversion.  If more than one share shall
     be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of
     full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
     the basis of the aggregate number of Series F Preferred Shares so
     surrendered.

          (d)    The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as
     follows:

                 (i)  If the Corporation shall after July 2, 1999 (A) pay a
          dividend or make a distribution on its capital shares in Common
          Shares, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater
          number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a
          smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by
          reclassification of its Common Shares, the Conversion Price in effect
          at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the
          determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
          distribution or at the opening of business on the Business Day next
          following the day on which such subdivision, combination or
          reclassification becomes effective, as the case may be, shall be
          adjusted so that the holder of any Series F Preferred Share thereafter
          surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive

                                       14
<PAGE>

          the number of Common Shares that such holder would have owned or have
          been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events
          described above as if such Series F Preferred Shares had been
          converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a
          dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a
          subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made
          pursuant to this subparagraph (i) shall become effective immediately
          after the opening of business on the Business Day next following the
          record date (except as provided in paragraph (h) below) in the case of
          a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
          after the opening of business on the Business Day next following the
          effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
          reclassification.

                 (ii) If the Corporation shall issue after July 2, 1999 rights,
          options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them
          (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned
          below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share
          less than 94% (100% if a stand-by underwriter is used and charges the
          Corporation a commission) of the Fair Market Value per Common Share on
          the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
          receive such rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price in
          effect at the opening of business on the Business Day next following
          such record date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by
          multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
          the opening of business on the Business Day next following the date
          fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which
          shall be the sum of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the
          close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the
          number of shares that the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from
          the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common Shares
          would purchase at 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in the case
          of a stand-by underwriting), and the denominator of which shall be the
          sum of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of
          business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the number
          of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase
          pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.  Such adjustment shall
          become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
          next following such record date (except as provided in paragraph (h)
          below).  In determining whether any rights, options or warrants
          entitle the holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase
          Common Shares at less than 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in
          the case of a stand-by underwriting), there shall be taken into
          account any consideration received by the Corporation upon issuance
          and upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the value of
          such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board
          of Directors.

                 (iii) If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of its
          Common Shares any securities of the Corporation (other than Common
          Shares) or evidence of its indebtedness or assets (excluding
          cumulative cash dividends or distributions paid with respect to the
          Common Shares after December 31, 1998 which are not in excess of the
          following:  the sum of (A) the Corporation's cumulative undistributed
          Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus (B) the cumulative
          amount of Funds from Operations, as determined by the Board of
          Directors, after December 31, 1998, minus (C) the cumulative amount of
          dividends accrued or paid in respect of the Series F Preferred Shares
          or any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation
          after July 2, 1999) or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
          purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights, options and
          warrants issued to all holders of Common Shares entitling them for a
          period expiring within 45 days after the record date referred to in
          subparagraph (ii) above to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares,
          which rights and warrants are referred to in and treated under
          subparagraph (ii) above) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in
          this subparagraph (iii) collectively called the "Securities" and
                                                           ----------
          individually a "Security"), then in each such case the Conversion
                          --------
          Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
          the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of
          stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by (y) a fraction,
          the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per Common Share
          on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as
          determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
          conclusive), of the portion of the Securities or assets or evidences
          of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights, options or warrants
          applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be
          the Fair Market Value per  Common Share on the record date mentioned
          below.  Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the
          opening of business on the Business Day next following (except as
          provided in paragraph (h) below) the record date for the determination
          of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.  For the
          purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the distribution of a Security,
          which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Shares on
          the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such
          distribution of such Security, but also is distributed with each
          Common Share delivered to a Person converting a Series F Preferred
          Share after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment
          of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); provided
                                                                       --------
          that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a Series F
          Preferred Share would no longer be entitled to receive such Security
          with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all
          such Securities), a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to
          have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided
          in this subparagraph (iii) (and

                                       16
<PAGE>

          such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination
          of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the
          record date" within the meaning of the two preceding sentences).

                 (iv) In case a tender or exchange offer (which term shall not
          include open market repurchases by the Corporation) made by the
          Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any
          portion of the Common Shares shall expire and such tender or exchange
          offer shall involve the payment by the Corporation or such subsidiary
          of consideration per Common Share having a fair market value (as
          determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
          determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the
          Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders
                                                      ---------------
          or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer,
          that exceeds the Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading
          Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be
          reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
          effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this
          subparagraph, by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
          of  Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged
          shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by the Current Market Price
          per Common Share on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
          Time, and the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market
          value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable
          to stockholders based upon the acceptance (up to any maximum specified
          in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly
          tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
          shares deemed so accepted, up to any maximum, being referred to as the
          "Purchased Shares") and (B) the product of the number of Common Shares
           ----------------
          outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the
          Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading Day next
          succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective
          immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
          Expiration Time.

                 (v)  No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required
          unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease
          of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments
                                        --------  -------
          that by reason of this subparagraph (v) are not required to be made
          shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
          adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment
                                     --------  -------
          shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this
          Section 6 (other than this subparagraph (v)) not later than such time
          as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
          distribution to the holders of Common Shares.  Notwithstanding any
          other provisions of this

                                       17
<PAGE>

          Section 6, the Corporation shall not be required to make any
          adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of any Common
          Shares pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of
          dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the
          investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under such
          plan. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the
          nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-
          tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the
          case may be. Anything in this paragraph (d) to the contrary
          notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent
          permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
          addition to those required by this paragraph (d), as it in its
          discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any share
          dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of
          shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase shares or
          securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash
          dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall
          not be taxable.

          (e)  If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including
     without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, self
     tender offer for all or substantially all of its Common Shares, sale of all
     or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the
     Common Shares and excluding any transaction as to which subparagraph (d)(i)
     of this Section 6 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein
     as a "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which all or substantially
           -----------
     all of the Corporation's Common Shares are converted into the right to
     receive shares, securities or other property (including cash or any
     combination thereof), each Series F Preferred Share which is not redeemed
     or converted into the right to receive shares, securities or other property
     prior to such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and
     amount of shares, securities and other property (including cash or any
     combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction
     by a holder of that number of Common Shares into which one Series F
     Preferred Share was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction,
     assuming such holder of Common Shares (i) is not a Person with which the
     Corporation consolidated or into which the Corporation merged or which
     merged into the Corporation or to which such sale or transfer was made, as
     the case may be ("Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent
                       ------------------
     Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to
     the kind or amount of shares, securities and other property (including
     cash) receivable upon such Transaction (provided that if the kind or amount
     of shares, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon
     such Transaction is not the same for each Common Share held immediately
     prior to such Transaction by other than a Constituent Person or an
     affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not
     have been exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this
                           ------------------
     paragraph (e) the kind and amount of shares, securities and other property
     (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction by each Non-Electing
     Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by
     a plurality

                                       18
<PAGE>

     of the Non-Electing Shares). The Corporation shall not be a party to any
     Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the
     provisions of this paragraph (e), and it shall not consent or agree to the
     occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an
     agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for
     the benefit of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares that will
     contain provisions enabling the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares
     that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert into the
     consideration received by holders of Common Shares at the Conversion Price
     in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this
     paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

          (f)  If:

               (i)   the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other
          distribution) on its Common Shares (other than cash dividends or
          distributions paid with respect to the Common Shares after December
          31, 1998 not in excess of the sum of the Corporation's cumulative
          undistributed Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus the
          cumulative amount of Funds from Operations, as determined by the Board
          of Directors, after December 31, 1998, minus the cumulative amount of
          dividends accrued or paid in respect of the Series F Preferred Shares
          or any other class or series of preferred shares of capital stock  of
          the Corporation after July 2, 1999); or

               (ii)  the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders
          of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
          purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, options or
          warrants; or

               (iii) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Shares
          (other than an event to which subparagraph (d)(i) of this Section 6
          applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a
          party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is
          required, or a statutory share exchange, or a self tender offer by the
          Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common
          Shares or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
          assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or

               (iv)  there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
          dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

     then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and
     shall cause to be mailed to the holders of Series F Preferred Shares at
     their addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation, as promptly as
     possible, but at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
     specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is

                                       19
<PAGE>

     to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of
     rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date
     as of which the holders of Common Shares of record to be entitled to such
     dividend, distribution or rights, options or warrants are to be determined
     or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
     statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
     expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to
     exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any,
     deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory
     share exchange, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
     Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not
     affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this
     Section 6.

          (g)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the
     Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's
     certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
     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 delivery of such
     certificate, the Corporation shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of
     the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the
     effective date of such adjustment and shall mail such notice of such
     adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each Series F Preferred
     Share at such holder's last address as shown on the records of the
     Corporation.

          (h)  In any case in which paragraph (d) of this Section 6 provides
     that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the
     record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of
     such event (A) issuing to the holder of any Series F Preferred Share
     converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event
     the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
     adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable
     upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying
     to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to
     paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

          (i)  There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of
     the issuance of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation in a
     reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as
     specifically set forth in this Section 6.  If any action or transaction
     would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one
     paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made and such
     adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute
     value.

          (j)  If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common
     Shares, other than action described in this Section 6, that in the opinion
     of the Board of

                                       20
<PAGE>

     Directors would materially and adversely affect the conversion rights of
     the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares, the Conversion Price for the
     Series F Preferred Shares may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law,
     in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors, in its
     sole discretion, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

          (k)  The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
     keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its
     authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting
     conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares, the full number of Common
     Shares deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series F
     Preferred Shares not theretofore converted.  For purposes of this paragraph
     (k), the number of Common Shares that shall be deliverable upon the
     conversion of all outstanding Series F Preferred Shares shall be computed
     as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a
     single holder.

          The Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued upon
     conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares shall be validly issued, fully
     paid and non-assessable.  Before taking any action that would cause an
     adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then-par value of the
     Common Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares,
     the Corporation will take any action that, in the opinion of its counsel,
     may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally
     issue fully paid and (subject to any customary qualification based upon the
     nature of a real estate investment trust) non-assessable Common Shares at
     such adjusted Conversion Price.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to list the Common Shares required to
     be delivered upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares, prior to
     such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which
     the outstanding Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state
     securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance
     of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon

          (a)    prior to the Series F Preferred Shares, as to the payment of

     receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to
     the holders of Series F Preferred Shares;

          (b)    on a parity with the Series F Preferred Shares, as to the
     payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend
     payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof shall
     be different from those of the Series F Preferred Shares, if the holders of
     such class or series and the Series F Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
     the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of
     accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without
     preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Shares");
                                                 -------------

          (c)    junior to the Series F Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding up, if such class or series shall be Junior Shares; and

          (d)    junior to the Series F Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, if such class or series shall be Fully Junior
     Shares.

     Section 9.  Voting. If and whenever four quarterly dividends (whether or
                 ------
not consecutive) payable on the Series F Preferred Shares or any series or class
of Parity Shares shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such
quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full),
whether or not earned or declared, the number of

                                       22
<PAGE>

directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two and
the holders of Series F Preferred Shares, together with the holders of shares of
every other series of Parity Shares (any such other series, the "Voting
                                                                 ------
Preferred Shares"), voting as a single class regardless of series, shall be
- ----------------
entitled to elect the two additional directors to serve on the Board of
Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place
thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares
and the Voting Preferred Shares called as hereinafter provided. Whenever all
arrears in dividends on the Series F Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred
Shares then outstanding shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the
current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and set apart
for payment, then the right of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares and
the Voting Preferred Shares to elect such additional two directors shall cease
(but subject always to the same provision for the vesting of such voting rights
in the case of any similar future arrearage in quarterly dividends), and the
terms of office of all persons elected as directors by the holders of the Series
F Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares shall forthwith terminate and
the number of the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. At any time
after such voting power shall have been so vested in the holders of Series F
Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares, the Secretary of the
Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Series F
Preferred Shares (addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the
Corporation) shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series F
Preferred Shares and of the Voting Preferred Shares for the election of the
directors to be elected by them as herein provided, such call to be made by
notice similar to that provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation for a special
meeting of the stockholders or as required by law. If any such special meeting
required to be called as above provided shall not be called by the Secretary
within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any holder of Series F
Preferred Shares may call such meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for
that purpose shall have access to the records of the Corporation. The directors
elected at any such special meeting shall hold office until the next annual
meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in lieu thereof if such
office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. If any vacancy
shall occur among the directors elected by the holders of the Series F Preferred
Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares, a successor shall be elected by the
Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining director elected
by the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares
or the successor of such remaining director, to serve until the next annual
meeting of the stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof if such
office shall not have previously terminated as provided above.

     So long as any Series F Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to
any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation,  the affirmative vote of at least 66%
of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares
given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at
any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or
validating:

                                       23
<PAGE>

          (a)  Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of
     the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation's By-Laws or
     these Articles Supplementary that materially and adversely affects the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Series F
     Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions
                       --------  -------
     of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation so as to authorize or create
     or to increase the authorized amount of, any Fully Junior Shares,  Junior
     Shares that are not senior in any respect to the Series F Preferred Shares
     or any Parity Shares shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Series F Preferred
     Shares; or

          (b)  A share exchange that affects the Series F Preferred Shares, a
     consolidation with or merger of the Corporation into another entity, or a
     consolidation with or merger of another entity into the Corporation, unless
     in each such case each Series F Preferred Share (i) shall remain
     outstanding without a material and adverse change to its terms and rights
     or (ii) shall be converted into or exchanged for convertible preferred
     shares of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion or other
     rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends,
     qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption thereof identical to
     that of a Series F Preferred Share (except for changes that do not
     materially and adversely affect the holders of the Series F Preferred
     Shares); or

          (c)  The authorization, reclassification  or creation of, or the
     increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or any
     security convertible into shares of any class ranking prior to the Series F
     Preferred Shares in the distribution of assets on any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or in the payment of
     dividends;

provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Series F Preferred Shares
- --------  -------
shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or
repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or
convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for
the redemption of all Series F Preferred Shares at the time outstanding to the
extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of these Articles
Supplementary.

     For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each Series F
Preferred Share shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other
series of Preferred Shares shall have the right to vote with the Series F
Preferred Shares as a single class on any matter, then the Series F Preferred
Shares and such other series shall have with respect to such matters one (1)
vote per $27.08 of stated liquidation preference.  Except as otherwise required
by applicable law or as set forth herein, the Series F Preferred Shares shall
not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights
and powers other than as set forth herein,

                                       24
<PAGE>

and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of
any Corporation action.

     Section 10.  Record Holders.  The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may
                  --------------
deem and treat the record holder of any Series F Preferred Shares as the true
and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the
Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                                       25

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused these Articles Supplementary

     of Common Shares on such Trading Day, of (a) the sale price per Common
     Share and (b) the number of Common Shares sold by (ii) the total number of
     Common Shares sold on such Trading Day.

     Section 3.  Dividends.
                 ---------

             (a) The holders of Series G Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
     receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
     legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential
     dividends payable in cash in an amount per share equal to the greater of
     (i) (A) 7.75% of the Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to
     $3.0225 per Series G Preferred Share) from the Issue Date up to and
     including the first anniversary of the Issue Date, (B) 8.25% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.2175 per Series G
     Preferred Share) from the first day after the period described in (A) up to
     and including the second anniversary of the Issue Date and (C) 8.50% of the
     Liquidation Preference per annum (equivalent to $3.315 per Series G
     Preferred Share) thereafter or (ii) the ordinary cash dividends (determined
     on each Dividend Payment Date) on the Common Shares, or portion thereof,
     into which a Series G Preferred Share is convertible.  The dividends
     referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall equal the number
     of Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which a Series G Preferred Share
     is convertible, multiplied by the most current quarterly dividend on a
     Common Share on or before the applicable Dividend Payment Date.  If the
     Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on the Common Shares with
     respect to a Dividend Period after the date on which the Dividend Payment
     Date is declared pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Dividend
     Payment Date and the dividend calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of this
     paragraph (a) with respect to such Dividend Period is greater than the
     dividend previously declared on the Series G Preferred Shares with respect
     to such Dividend Period, the Corporation shall

                                       5
<PAGE>

     pay an additional dividend to the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares
     on the date on which the dividend on the Common Shares is paid, in an
     amount equal to the difference between (y) the dividend calculated pursuant
     to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) and (z) the amount of dividends
     previously declared on the Series G Preferred Shares with respect to such
     Dividend Period. The dividends shall begin to accrue and shall be fully
     cumulative from the first day of the applicable Dividend Period, whether or
     not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be funds of the
     Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall
     be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors,
     in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates. Each such dividend shall be payable
     in arrears to the holders of record of Series G Preferred Shares as they
     appear in the records of the Corporation at the close of business on such
     record dates, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days preceding such
     Dividend Payment Dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of
     Directors. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may
     be declared and paid at any time and for such interim periods, without
     reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on
     such date, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days preceding the payment
     date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Any dividend
     payment made on Series G Preferred Shares shall first be credited against
     the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to Series G
     Preferred Shares which remains payable.

          (b) The amount of dividends referred to in clause (i) of Section 3(a)
     payable for each full Dividend Period on the Series G Preferred Shares
     shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four.  The
     initial Dividend Period will include a partial dividend for the period from
     the Issue Date until the last calendar day of the calendar quarter
     containing the Issue Date.  The amount of dividends payable for such
     period, or any other period shorter than a full Dividend Period, on the
     Series G  Preferred Shares shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
     of twelve 30-day months.  Holders of Series G Preferred Shares shall not be
     entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or shares, in
     excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series G
     Preferred Shares. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall
     be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series G
     Preferred Shares which may be in arrears.

          (c) So long as any Series G Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends, except as described in the immediately following sentence, shall
     be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of
     Parity Shares for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
     for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series G
     Preferred Shares for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the
     dividend payment date on such class or series of Parity Shares.  When
     dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not
     set apart, as aforesaid, all

                                       6
<PAGE>

     dividends declared upon Series G Preferred Shares and all dividends
     declared upon any other class or series of Parity Shares shall be declared
     ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated
     and unpaid on the Series G Preferred Shares and accumulated and unpaid on
     such Parity Shares.

          (d)    So long as any Series G Preferred Shares are outstanding, no
     dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid solely in shares of,
     or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of,
     Fully Junior Shares) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or
     other distribution shall be declared or made or set apart for payment upon
     Junior Shares, nor shall any Junior Shares be redeemed, purchased or
     otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition
     of Common Shares  made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit
     plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any
     moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption
     of any Junior Shares) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except by
     conversion into or exchange for Fully Junior Shares), unless in each case
     (i) the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding Series G Preferred
     Shares and any other Parity Shares of the Corporation shall have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and set apart for
     payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series G
     Preferred Shares and all past dividend periods with respect to such Parity
     Shares and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been or contemporaneously are
     declared and paid or declared and set apart for the payment of the dividend
     for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Series G Preferred
     Shares and the current dividend period with respect to such Parity Shares.

          (e)    No distributions on Series G Preferred Shares shall be declared
     by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the
     Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of
     the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness,
     prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or
     provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would
     constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration
     or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

     Section 4.  Liquidation Preference.
                 ----------------------

             (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
     the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
     distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus)
     shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares, the holders
     of the Series G Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive Thirty Nine
     Dollars ($39.00) (the "Liquidation Preference") per Series G Preferred
     Share plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or
     declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to
     such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further
     payment; provided, that the
              --------

                                       7
<PAGE>

     dividend payable with respect to the Dividend Period containing the date of
     final distribution shall be equal to the greater of (i) the dividend
     provided in Section 3(a)(i) or (ii) the dividend determined pursuant to
     Section 3(a)(ii) for the preceding Dividend Period. If, upon any
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of
     the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of
     the Series G Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the
     preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares
     of any class or series of Parity Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds
     thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series G Preferred
     Shares and any such other Parity Shares ratably in accordance with the
     respective amounts that would be payable on such Series G Preferred Shares
     and any such other Parity Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid
     in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger
     of the Corporation with one or more corporations, real estate investment
     trusts or other entities, (ii) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or
     substantially all of the Corporation's property or business or (iii) a
     statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

          (b)    Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or
     class or classes of shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with or
     prior to the Series G Preferred Shares upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of
     the Series G Preferred Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other
     series or class or classes of Junior Shares shall, subject to the
     respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to
     receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the
     holders of the Series G Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to share
     therein.

     Section 5.  Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
                 -------------------------------------------

             (a) The Series G Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable by the
     Corporation prior to the sixth anniversary of the Issue Date.  On and after
     the sixth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option,
     may redeem the Series G Preferred Shares, in whole at any time or from time
     to time in part as set forth herein, subject to the provisions described
     below:

                 (i) Series G Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
             part, at the option of the Corporation, at any time on or after the
             sixth anniversary of the Issue Date by issuing and delivering to
             each holder for each Series G Preferred Share to be redeemed such
             number of authorized but previously unissued Common Shares as
             equals the Liquidation Preference (excluding any accumulated,
             accrued and unpaid dividends which are to be paid in cash as
             provided below) per Series G Preferred Share divided by the
             Conversion Price
                                       8
<PAGE>

          as in effect as of the opening of business on the Call Date; provided,
          however, that the Corporation may redeem Series G Preferred Shares
          pursuant to this paragraph (a)(i) only if (A) the Weighted Average
          Trading Price, for twenty (20) Trading Days, within the last thirty
          (30) Trading Days immediately before the date of the notice given
          pursuant to Section 5(d), equals or exceeds 108% of the Conversion
          Price in effect on the date of the notice given pursuant to Section
          5(d) and (B) at least 1,000,000 Common Shares were traded during such
          30 Trading Days.

              (ii) Series G Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in
          part, at the option of the Corporation at any time on or after the
          sixth anniversary of the Issue Date out of funds legally available
          therefor at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the
          Liquidation Preference per Series G Preferred Share (plus all
          accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends as provided below).

          (b) Upon any redemption of Series G Preferred Shares pursuant to  this
     Section 5, the Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends, if
     any, thereon to the Call Date, without interest.  If the Call Date falls
     after a dividend payment record date and prior to the corresponding
     Dividend Payment Date, then each holder of Series G Preferred Shares at the
     close of business on such dividend payment record date shall be entitled to
     the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment
     Date notwithstanding any redemption of such shares before such Dividend
     Payment Date.  Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no
     payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     Series G Preferred Shares called for redemption.

          (c) If full cumulative dividends on the Series G Preferred Shares and
     any other class or series of Parity Shares of the Corporation have not been
     declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Series G
     Preferred Shares may not be redeemed under this Section 5 in part and the
     Corporation may not purchase or acquire Series G Preferred Shares,
     otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same
     terms to all holders of Series G Preferred Shares.

          (d) Notice of the redemption of any Series G Preferred Shares under
     this Section 5 shall be mailed by first-class mail to each holder of record
     of Series G Preferred Shares to be redeemed at the address of each such
     holder as shown on the Corporation's records, not less than 30 nor more
     than 90 days prior to the Call Date.  Neither the failure to mail any
     notice required by this paragraph (d), nor any defect therein or in the
     mailing thereof, to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of
     the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect
     to the other holders.  Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein
     provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date
     mailed whether or not the holder receives the notice.  Each such mailed
     notice shall state, as appropriate:  (1) the Call

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Date; (2) the number of Series G Preferred Shares to be redeemed and, if
     fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the
     number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption
     price if the Series G Preferred Shares are redeemed for cash and the number
     of Common Shares to be issued if the Series G Preferred Shares are redeemed
     for Common Shares; (4) the place or places at which certificates for such
     shares are to be surrendered; (5) the then-current Conversion Price; and
     (6) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on
     such Call Date except as otherwise provided herein. Notice having been
     mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date (unless the Corporation
     shall fail to make available an amount of cash necessary to effect such
     redemption), (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the
     Series G Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall cease to accrue,
     (ii) such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all
     rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series G Preferred Shares of
     the Corporation shall cease (except the rights to convert and to receive
     the Common Shares and/or cash payable upon such redemption, without
     interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if
     so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The
     Corporation's obligation to provide Common Shares and/or cash in accordance
     with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the
     Call Date, the Corporation shall deposit with a bank or trust company
     (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has an office in the
     Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and that has, or is an affiliate of
     a bank or trust company that has, capital and surplus of at least
     $50,000,000, necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable
     instructions that such Common Shares and/or cash be applied to the
     redemption of the Series G Preferred Shares so called for redemption. In
     the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5,
     at the close of business on the Call Date, each holder of Series G
     Preferred Shares to be redeemed (unless the Corporation defaults in the
     delivery of the Common Shares or cash payable on such Call Date) shall be
     deemed to be the record holder of the Common Shares into which such Series
     G Preferred Shares are to be converted at redemption, regardless of whether
     such holder has surrendered the certificates representing the Series G
     Preferred Shares to be so redeemed. No interest shall accrue for the
     benefit of the holders of Series G Preferred Shares to be redeemed on any
     cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws,
     any such cash unclaimed at the end of two years from the Call Date shall
     revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the
     holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the
     general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such
     notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly
     endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and
     if the notice shall so state), such shares shall be exchanged for any cash
     (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed.  If
     fewer than all the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares are to be

                                      10
<PAGE>

     redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from
     outstanding Series G Preferred Shares not previously called for redemption
     pro rata (as nearly as may be), by lot or by any other method determined by
     the Corporation in its sole discretion to be equitable. If fewer than all
     the Series G Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed,
     then new certificates representing the unredeemed shares shall be issued
     without cost to the holder thereof.

          (e)    In the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of
     this Section 5,

                 (i) no fractional Common Shares or scrip representing fractions
          of Common Shares shall be issued upon redemption of the Series G
          Preferred Common Shares. Instead of any fractional interest in Common
          Shares that would otherwise be deliverable upon redemption of Series G
          Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such
          share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) based upon the
          Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
          immediately preceding the Call Date. If more than one share shall be
          surrendered for redemption at one time by the same holder, the number
          of full Common Shares issuable upon redemption thereof shall be
          computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series G Preferred
          Shares so surrendered.

                 (ii) the Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued
          upon redemption of Series G Preferred Shares shall be validly issued,
          fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation shall endeavor to list
          the Common Shares required to be delivered upon any such redemption of
          Series G Preferred Shares, prior to such redemption, upon each
          national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding
          Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

     Section 6.  Conversion.  Holders of Series G Preferred Shares shall have
                 ----------
the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into Common Shares, as
follows:

          (a)    Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this
     Section 6 and the provisions of Article VIII of the Corporation's Articles
     of Incorporation, a holder of Series G Preferred Shares shall have the
     right, at any time, at his or her option, to convert such shares into the
     number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares obtained by dividing
     the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such shares (exclusive of accrued
     but unpaid dividends) by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and
     on the date provided for in the last paragraph of paragraph (b) of this
     Section 6) by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to
     be made in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6;
     provided, however, that the right to convert shares called for redemption
     --------  -------
     pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of

                                      11
<PAGE>

     business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Call Date fixed for such
     redemption, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of the
     cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5.

          (b)    In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each
     Series G Preferred Share to be converted shall surrender the certificate
     representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in
     blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice
     to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert such Series G
     Preferred Shares.  Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be
     issued in the same name as the name in which such Series G Preferred Share
     is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied
     by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly
     executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an
     amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence
     reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes
     have been paid).

          Holders of Series G Preferred Shares at the close of business on a
     dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend
     payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment
     record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date.  However, Series G
     Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion during the period between the
     close of business on any dividend payment record date and the opening of
     business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except shares
     converted after the issuance of notice of redemption with respect to a Call
     Date during such period, such Series G Preferred Shares being entitled to
     such dividend on the Dividend Payment Date) must be accompanied by payment
     of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend
     Payment Date.  A holder of Series G Preferred Shares on a dividend payment
     record date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for
     conversion into Common Shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
     will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such Series G
     Preferred Shares on such date, and the converting holder need not include
     payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender of Series G Preferred
     Shares for conversion. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make
     no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
     converted shares or for dividends on the Common Shares issued upon such
     conversion.

          As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for
     Series G Preferred Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and
     shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on his or her written
     order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares
     issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions
     of this Section 6, and any fractional interest in respect of a

                                      12
<PAGE>

     Common Share arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in
     paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

          Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
     prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for
     Series G Preferred Shares shall have been surrendered and such notice shall
     have been received by the Corporation as aforesaid (and if applicable,
     payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares shall
     have been received by the Corporation as described above), and the person
     or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
     Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to
     have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented
     thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the
     Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date unless the share
     transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which
     event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or
     holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on
     which such share transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at
     the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such shares shall have
     been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation.

          (c)    No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of Common
     Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares.
     Instead of any fractional interest in a Common Share that would otherwise
     be deliverable upon the conversion of a Series G Preferred Share, the
     Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based
     upon the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day
     immediately preceding the date of conversion.  If more than one share shall
     be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of
     full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
     the basis of the aggregate number of Series G Preferred Shares so
     surrendered.

          (d)    The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as
     follows:

                 (i)   If the Corporation shall after July 2, 1999 (A) pay a
          dividend or make a distribution on its capital shares in Common
          Shares, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater
          number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a
          smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of capital stock by
          reclassification of its Common Shares, the Conversion Price in effect
          at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the
          determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
          distribution or at the opening of business on the Business Day next
          following the day on which such subdivision, combination or
          reclassification becomes effective, as the case may be, shall be
          adjusted so that the holder of any Series G Preferred Share thereafter
          surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive

                                      13
<PAGE>

          the number of Common Shares that such holder would have owned or have
          been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events
          described above as if such Series G Preferred Shares had been
          converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a
          dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a
          subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made
          pursuant to this subparagraph (i) shall become effective immediately
          after the opening of business on the Business Day next following the
          record date (except as provided in paragraph (h) below) in the case of
          a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
          after the opening of business on the Business Day next following the
          effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
          reclassification.

                 (ii)  If the Corporation shall issue after July 2, 1999 rights,
          options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them
          (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned
          below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share
          less than 94% (100% if a stand-by underwriter is used and charges the
          Corporation a commission) of the Fair Market Value per Common Share on
          the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
          receive such rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price in
          effect at the opening of business on the Business Day next following
          such record date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by
          multiplying (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
          the opening of business on the Business Day next following the date
          fixed for such determination by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which
          shall be the sum of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the
          close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the
          number of shares that the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from
          the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common Shares
          would purchase at 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in the case
          of a stand-by underwriting), and the denominator of which shall be the
          sum of (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of
          business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the number
          of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase
          pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.  Such adjustment shall
          become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
          next following such record date (except as provided in paragraph (h)
          below).  In determining whether any rights, options or warrants
          entitle the holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase
          Common Shares at less than 94% of such Fair Market Value (or 100% in
          the case of a stand-by underwriting), there shall be taken into
          account any consideration received by the Corporation upon issuance
          and upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the value of
          such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board
          of Directors.

                 (iii) If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of its
          Common Shares any securities of the Corporation (other than Common
          Shares) or evidence of its indebtedness or assets (excluding
          cumulative cash dividends or distributions paid with respect to the
          Common Shares after December 31, 1998 which are not in excess of the
          following: the sum of (A) the Corporation's cumulative undistributed
          Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus (B) the cumulative
          amount of Funds from Operations, as determined by the Board of
          Directors, after December 31, 1998, minus (C) the cumulative amount of
          dividends accrued or paid in respect of the Series G Preferred Shares
          or any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation
          after July 2, 1999) or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
          purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights, options and
          warrants issued to all holders of Common Shares entitling them for a
          period expiring within 45 days after the record date referred to in
          subparagraph (ii) above to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares,
          which rights and warrants are referred to in and treated under subpara
          graph (ii) above) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this
          subparagraph (iii) collectively called the "Securities" and
                                                      ----------
          individually a "Security"), then in each such case the Conversion
                          --------
          Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
          the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of
          stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by (y) a fraction,
          the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per Common Share
          on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as
          determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
          conclusive), of the portion of the Securities or assets or evidences
          of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights, options or warrants
          applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be
          the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the record date mentioned
          below. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the
          opening of business on the Business Day next following (except as
          provided in paragraph (h) below) the record date for the determination
          of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. For the
          purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the distribution of a Security,
          which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Shares on
          the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such
          distribution of such Security, but also is distributed with each
          Common Share delivered to a Person converting a Series G Preferred
          Share after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment
          of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); provided
                                                                       --------
          that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a Series G
          Preferred Share would no longer be entitled to receive such Security
          with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all
          such Securities), a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to
          have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided
          in this subparagraph (iii) (and

                                      15
<PAGE>

          such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination
          of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the
          record date" within the meaning of the two preceding sentences).

               (iv)  In case a tender or exchange offer (which term shall not
          include open market repurchases by the Corporation) made by the
          Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any
          portion of the Common Shares shall expire and such tender or exchange
          offer shall involve the payment by the Corporation or such subsidiary
          of consideration per Common Share having a fair market value (as
          determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
          determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the
          Board of Directors), at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders
                                                      ---------------
          or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer,
          that exceeds the Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading
          Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be
          reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
          multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
          effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this
          subparagraph, by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
          of  Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged
          shares) at the Expiration Time, multiplied by the Current Market Price
          per Common Share on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
          Time, and the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market
          value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable
          to stockholders based upon the acceptance (up to any maximum specified
          in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly
          tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
          shares deemed so accepted, up to any maximum, being referred to as the
          "Purchased Shares") and (B) the product of the number of Common Shares
           ----------------
          outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the
          Current Market Price per Common Share on the Trading Day next
          succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective
          immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
          Expiration Time.

               (v)   No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required
          unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease
          of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments
                                        --------  -------
          that by reason of this subparagraph (v) are not required to be made
          shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
          adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment
                                     --------  -------
          shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this
          Section 6 (other than this subparagraph (v)) not later than such time
          as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
          distribution to the holders of Common Shares.  Notwithstanding any
          other provisions of this

                                      16
<PAGE>

          Section 6, the Corporation shall not be required to make any
          adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of any Common
          Shares pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of
          dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the
          investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under such
          plan. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the
          nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-
          tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the
          case may be. Anything in this paragraph (d) to the contrary
          notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent
          permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
          addition to those required by this paragraph (d), as it in its
          discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any share
          dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of
          shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase shares or
          securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash
          dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall
          not be taxable.

          (e)  If the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction (including
     without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, self
     tender offer for all or substantially all of its Common Shares, sale of all
     or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or recapitalization of the
     Common Shares and excluding any transaction as to which subparagraph (d)(i)
     of this Section 6 applies) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein
     as a "Transaction"), in each case as a result of which all or substantially
           -----------
     all of the Corporation's Common Shares are converted into the right to
     receive shares, securities or other property (including cash or any
     combination thereof), each Series G Preferred Share which is not redeemed
     or converted into the right to receive shares, securities or other property
     prior to such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and
     amount of shares, securities and other property (including cash or any
     combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction
     by a holder of that number of Common Shares into which one Series G
     Preferred Share was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction,
     assuming such holder of Common Shares (i) is not a Person with which the
     Corporation consolidated or into which the Corporation merged or which
     merged into the Corporation or to which such sale or transfer was made, as
     the case may be ("Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent
                       ------------------
     Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to
     the kind or amount of shares, securities and other property (including
     cash) receivable upon such Transaction (provided that if the kind or amount
     of shares, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon
     such Transaction is not the same for each Common Share held immediately
     prior to such Transaction by other than a Constituent Person or an
     affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not
     have been exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this
                           ------------------
     paragraph (e) the kind and amount of shares, securities and other property
     (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction by each Non-Electing

                                      17
<PAGE>

     Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by
     a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares).  The Corporation shall not be a
     party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are
     consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (e), and it shall not
     consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation
     has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as
     the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Series G Preferred
     Shares that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Series G
     Preferred Shares that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert
     into the consideration received by holders of Common Shares at the
     Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction.  The
     provisions of this paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive
     Transactions.

          (f)  If:

               (i)    the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other
          distribution) on its Common Shares (other than cash dividends or
          distributions paid with respect to the Common Shares after December
          31, 1998 not in excess of the sum of the Corporation's cumulative
          undistributed Funds from Operations at December 31, 1998, plus the
          cumulative amount of Funds from Operations, as determined by the Board
          of Directors, after December 31, 1998, minus the cumulative amount of
          dividends accrued or paid in respect of the Series G Preferred Shares
          or any other class or series of preferred shares of capital stock  of
          the Corporation after July 2, 1999); or

               (ii)   the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all
          holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants to subscribe
          for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, options
          or warrants; or

               (iii)  there shall be any reclassification of the Common Shares
          (other than an event to which subparagraph (d)(i) of this Section 6
          applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a
          party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is
          required, or a statutory share exchange, or a self tender offer by the
          Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common
          Shares or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
          assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or

               (iv)   there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

     then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and
     shall cause to be mailed to the holders of Series G Preferred Shares at
     their addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation, as promptly as
     possible, but at least 10 days prior to the

                                      18
<PAGE>

     applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on
     which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
     distribution or granting of rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is
     not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of
     record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, options or
     warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such
     reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale,
     transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become
     effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
     Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for
     securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such
     reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale,
     transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give or
     receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or
     validity of the proceedings described in this Section 6.

          (g)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the
     Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's
     certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
     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 delivery of such
     certificate, the Corporation shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of
     the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the
     effective date of such adjustment and shall mail such notice of such
     adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each Series G Preferred
     Share at such holder's last address as shown on the records of the
     Corporation.

          (h)  In any case in which paragraph (d) of this Section 6 provides
     that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the
     record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of
     such event (A) issuing to the holder of any Series G Preferred Share
     converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event
     the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
     adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable
     upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying
     to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to
     paragraph (c) of this Section 6.

          (i)  There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of
     the issuance of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation in a
     reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as
     specifically set forth in this Section 6. If any action or transaction
     would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one
     paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made and such
     adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute
     value.

                                      19
<PAGE>

          (j)  If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common
     Shares, other than action described in this Section 6, that in the opinion
     of the Board of Directors would materially and adversely affect the
     conversion rights of the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares, the
     Conversion Price for the Series G Preferred Shares may be adjusted, to the
     extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the
     Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable
     in the circumstances.

          (k)  The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
     keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its
     authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting
     conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares, the full number of Common
     Shares deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series G
     Preferred Shares not theretofore converted.  For purposes of this paragraph
     (k), the number of Common Shares that shall be deliverable upon the
     conversion of all outstanding Series G Preferred Shares shall be computed
     as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a
     single holder.

          The Corporation covenants that any Common Shares issued upon
     conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares shall be validly issued, fully
     paid and non-assessable.  Before taking any action that would cause an
     adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then-par value of the
     Common Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares,
     the Corporation will take any action that, in the opinion of its counsel,
     may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally
     issue fully paid and (subject to any customary qualification based upon the
     nature of a real estate investment trust) non-assessable Common Shares at
     such adjusted Conversion Price.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to list the Common Shares required to
     be delivered upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares, prior to
     such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which
     the outstanding Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

          The Corporation shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state
     securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance
     of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon
     conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares.  In addition to any legend
     required by Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation, the certificates
     evidencing such securities shall bear such legends restricting transfer
     thereof in the absence of registration under applicable securities laws or
     an exemption therefrom as the Corporation may in good faith deem
     appropriate.

          (l) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar
     issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
     Common Shares or other

                                      20
<PAGE>

     securities or property on conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares
     pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
                      --------  -------

     required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
     involved in the issue or delivery of Common Shares or other securities or
     property in a name other than that of the holder of the Series G Preferred
     Shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
     and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the
     Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable
     satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

     Section 7.  Shares To Be Retired.  All Series G Preferred Shares which
                 --------------------
shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be
restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of capital stock of the
Corporation, without designation as to class or series.

     Section 8.  Ranking.  Any class or series of shares of capital stock of the
                 -------
Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

             (a) prior to the Series G Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the
     receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to
     the holders of Series G Preferred Shares;

             (b) on a parity with the Series G Preferred Shares, as to the
     payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend
     payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof shall
     be different from those of the Series G Preferred Shares, if the holders of
     such class or series and the Series G Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
     the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of
     accrued and unpaid dividend s per share or liquidation preferences, without
     preference or priority one over the other ("Parity Shares");
                                                 -------------

             (c) junior to the Series G Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding up, if such class or series shall be Junior Shares; and

             (d) junior to the Series G Preferred Shares, as to the payment of
     dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up, if such class or series shall be Fully Junior
     Shares.

                                      21

     Section 9.  Voting. If and whenever four quarterly dividends (whether or
                 ------
not consecutive) payable on the Series G Preferred Shares or any series or class
of Parity Shares shall be in arrears (which shall, with respect to any such
quarterly dividend, mean that any such dividend has not been paid in full),
whether or not earned or declared, the number of directors then constituting the
Board of Directors shall be increased by two and the holders of Series G
Preferred Shares, together with the holders of shares of every other series of
Parity Shares (any such other series, the "Voting Preferred Shares"), voting as
                                           -----------------------
a single class regardless of series, shall be entitled to elect the two
additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of
stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, or at a special meeting
of the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares
called as hereinafter provided.  Whenever all arrears in dividends on the Series
G Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares then outstanding shall have
been paid and dividends thereon for the current quarterly dividend period shall
have been paid or declared and set apart for payment,  then the right of the
holders of the Series G Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares to
elect such additional two directors shall cease (but subject always to the same
provision for the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar
future arrearage in quarterly dividends), and the terms of office of all persons
elected as directors by the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares and the
Voting Preferred Shares shall forthwith terminate and the number of the Board of
Directors shall be reduced accordingly.  At any time after such voting power
shall have been so vested in the holders of Series G Preferred Shares and the
Voting Preferred Shares, the Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the
written request of any holder of Series G Preferred Shares (addressed to the
Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation) shall, call a special
meeting of the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares and of the Voting
Preferred Shares for the election of the directors to be elected by them as
herein provided, such call to be made by notice similar to that provided in the
Bylaws of the Corporation for a special meeting of the stockholders or as
required by law. If any such special meeting required to be called as above
provided shall not be called by the Secretary within 20 days after receipt of
any such request, then any holder of Series G Preferred Shares may call such
meeting, upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access
to the records of the Corporation.  The directors elected at any such special
meeting shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or
special meeting held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously
terminated as above provided.  If any vacancy shall occur among the directors
elected by the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred
Shares, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the
nomination of the then-remaining director elected by the holders of the Series G
Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares or the successor of such
remaining director, to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders
or special meeting held in place thereof if such office shall not have
previously terminated as provided above.

     So long as any Series G Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to
any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation,  the affirmative vote of at least 66%
of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series

                                      22
<PAGE>

G Preferred Shares given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a
meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for
effecting or validating:

          (a) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of
     the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation's By-Laws or
     these Articles Supplementary that materially and adversely affects the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Series G
     Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions
                       --------  -------
     of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation so as to authorize or create
     or to increase the authorized amount of, any Fully Junior Shares,  Junior
     Shares that are not senior in any respect to the Series G Preferred Shares
     or any Parity Shares shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the
     voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Series G Preferred
     Shares; or

          (b) A share exchange that affects the Series G Preferred Shares, a
     consolidation with or merger of the Corporation into another entity, or a
     consolidation with or merger of another entity into the Corporation, unless
     in each such case each Series G Preferred Share (i) shall remain
     outstanding without a material and adverse change to its terms and rights
     or (ii) shall be converted into or exchanged for convertible preferred
     shares of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion or other
     rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends,
     qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption thereof identical to
     that of a Series G Preferred Share (except for changes that do not
     materially and adversely affect the holders of the Series G Preferred
     Shares); or

          (c) The authorization, reclassification  or creation of, or the
     increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or any
     security convertible into shares of any class ranking prior to the Series G
     Preferred Shares in the distribution of assets on any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or in the payment of
     dividends;

provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Series G Preferred Shares
- --------  -------
shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment, alteration or
repeal is to take effect, or when the issuance of any such prior shares or
convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is made for
the redemption of all Series G Preferred Shares at the time outstanding to the
extent such redemption is authorized by Section 5 of these Articles
Supplementary.

     For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each Series G
Preferred Share shall have one (1) vote per share, except that when any other
series of Preferred Shares shall have the right to vote with the Series G
Preferred Shares as a single class on any matter, then the Series G Preferred
Shares and such other series shall have with respect to such matters one (1)
vote per $27.08 of stated liquidation preference.  Except as otherwise required
by

                                      23
<PAGE>

applicable law or as set forth herein, the Series G Preferred Shares shall not
have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and
powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof
shall not be required for the taking of any Corporation action.

     Section 10. Record Holders.  The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may
                 --------------
deem and treat the record holder of any Series G Preferred Shares as the true
and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the
Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused these Articles Supplementary
to be signed its name and on its behalf by its authorized officers who

             DESIGNATION OF THE PREFERENCES, CONVERSION AND OTHER
          RIGHTS, VOTING POWERS,  RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS AS TO
                           SERIES E PREFERRED UNITS

     The Series E Preferred Units shall have the following designations,
preferences, rights, powers and duties:

          (1) Certain Defined Terms.  The following capitalized terms used in
              ---------------------
     this Exhibit J shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
          ---------

          "Distribution Date" means (i) for any Distribution Period with respect
     to which the Partnership pays a distribution on the Class A Units, the date
     on which such distribution is paid, or (ii) for any Distribution Period
     with respect to which the Partnership does not pay a distribution on the
     Class A Units, the date set by the General Partner for payment of dividends
     on the Series E Preferred Stock, which date shall not be later than the
     forty-fifth calendar day after the end of the applicable Distribution
     Period.

          "Distribution Period" means quarterly periods commencing on January 1,
     April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and ending on and including the
     day preceding the first day of the next succeeding Distribution Period
     (other than the initial Distribution Period, which shall commence on the
     Issue Date and end on and include the last calendar day of the calendar
     quarter containing the Issue Date, and other than the Distribution Period
     during which any Series E Preferred Units shall be redeemed pursuant to
     Section 4, which shall end on and include the date of such redemption.

          "Fully Junior Units" shall mean the Common Units and any other class
     or series of Partnership Units now or hereafter issued and outstanding over
     which the Series E Preferred Units have preference or priority in both (i)
     the payment of dividends and (ii) the distribution of assets on any
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

          "Issue Date" shall mean the date on which the first Series E Preferred
     Units are issued.

          "Junior Units" shall mean the Common Units and any other class or
     series of Partnership Units now or hereafter issued and outstanding over
     which the Series E Preferred Units have preference or priority in the
     payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

          "Parity Units" has the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 6(B).

          (2)  Distributions.
               -------------

                                      J-1
<PAGE>

          (A) The General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the then
     outstanding Series E Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive out of
     funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the General
     Partner, distributions payable in cash at the rate per Series E Preferred
     Unit equal to the greater of (a)(i) $2.82875 per annum from the Issue Date
     up to and including the first anniversary of the Issue Date, (ii) $3.01125
     per annum from the day after the period described in (i) up to and
     including the second anniversary of the Issue Date and (iii) $3.1025 per
     annum thereafter, or (b) the ordinary cash distributions (determined on
     each Distribution Date) paid on the number of Class A Units, or portion
     thereof, into which a Series E Preferred Unit is convertible.  The
     distributions referred to in clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall
     equal the number of Class A Units, or portion thereof, into which a Series
     E Preferred Unit is convertible, multiplied by the most recent quarterly
     distribution on a Class A Unit on or before the applicable Distribution
     Date.  If the Partnership pays an ordinary cash distribution on the Class A
     Units with respect to a Distribution Period after the date on which the
     Distribution Date is declared pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
     Distribution Date and the distribution calculated with respect to clause
     (b) of the first sentence of this Section 2(A) is greater than the
     distribution previously declared on the Series E Preferred Units with
     respect to such Distribution Period, the Partnership shall pay an
     additional distribution in respect of the Series E Preferred Units on the
     date on which the distribution on the Class A Units is paid, in an amount
     equal to the difference between (y) the distribution calculated pursuant to
     clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 2(A) and (z) the amount of
     distributions previously declared on the Series E Preferred Units with
     respect to such Distribution Period.  Distributions shall begin to accrue
     and shall be fully cumulative from the first day of the applicable
     Distribution Period, whether or not in any Distribution Period or Periods
     there shall be funds of the Partnership legally available for the payment
     of such distributions, and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if
     declared by the General Partner, in arrears on Distribution Dates.  Accrued
     and unpaid distributions for any past Distribution Periods may be declared
     and paid at any time and for such interim periods, without reference to any
     regular Distribution Date, to the General Partner on such date as may be
     fixed by the General Partner for payment of the corresponding dividend on
     the Series E Preferred Stock.  Any distribution made on the Series E
     Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but
     unpaid distribution due with respect to Series E Preferred Units which
     remains payable.

          (B) The amount of distributions referred to in clause (a) of the first
     sentence of Section 2(A) shall be equal to the annual distribution rate
     payable for each full Distribution Period for the Series E Preferred Units
     shall be computed by dividing by four.  The distribution for the initial
     Distribution Period will include a partial distribution for the period from
     the Issue Date until the last calendar day of the calendar quarter
     containing the Issue Date.  The amount of distributions payable for such
     initial Distribution Period, or any other period shorter than a full
     Distribution Period, on the Series E Preferred Units shall be computed on
     the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                                      J-2
<PAGE>

     No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in
     respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series E Preferred
     Units that may be in arrears.

          (C) So long as any Series E Preferred Units are outstanding, no
     distributions, except as described in the immediately following sentence,
     shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series
     of Parity Units for any period unless full cumulative distributions have
     been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
     sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series
     E Preferred Units for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior to
     the distribution payment date for such class or series of Parity Units.
     When distributions are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such
     payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all distributions declared upon
     Series E Preferred Units and all distributions declared upon any other
     class or series of Parity Units shall be declared ratably in proportion to
     the respective amounts of distributions accumulated and unpaid on the
     Series E Preferred Units and accumulated and unpaid on such Parity Units.

          (D) So long as any Series E Preferred Units are outstanding, no
     distributions (other than distributions paid solely in Fully Junior Units
     or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Fully Junior
     Units) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other
     distribution shall be declared or made or set apart for payment upon Junior
     Units, nor shall any Junior Units be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
     acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class A
     Units made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the
     General Partner or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be
     paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such
     Junior Units) by the Partnership, directly or indirectly (except by
     conversion into or exchange for Fully Junior Units), unless in each case
     (i) the full cumulative distributions on all outstanding Series E Preferred
     Units and any other Parity Units of the Partnership shall have been paid or
     declared and set apart for payment for all past Distribution Periods with
     respect to the Series E Preferred Units and all past distribution periods
     with respect to such Parity Units and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been
     paid or set apart for the payment of the distribution for the current
     Distribution Period with respect to the Series E Preferred Units and the
     current distribution period with respect to such Parity Units.

          (E) No distributions on the Series E Preferred Units shall be declared
     by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership
     at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the General
     Partner or the Partnership, including any agreement relating to
     indebtedness of either of them, prohibits such declaration, payment, or
     setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or
     setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default
     thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or
     prohibited by law.

          (3)  Liquidation Preference.
               ----------------------

               (A) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
     the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
     distribution of the assets of the Partnership shall be made to or set apart
     for the holders of Junior Units, the General Partner, in its capacity as
     holder of the Series E Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive
     Thirty-Six Dollars and Fifty Cents ($36.50) (the "Series E Liquidation
     Preference") per Series E Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all
     distributions (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid
     thereon to the date of final distribution to the General Partner, in its
     capacity as such holder; but the General Partner, in its capacity as the
     holder of Series E Preferred Units, shall not be entitled to any further
     payment; provided that the distribution payable with respect to the
     Distribution Period containing the date of final distribution shall be
     equal to the greater of (i) the distribution provided in clause (a) of the
     first sentence of Section 2(A) or (ii) the distribution determined pursuant
     to clause (b) of the first sentence of Section 2(A) for the preceding
     Distribution Period. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
     the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof,
     distributable to the General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of
     Series E Preferred Units, shall be insufficient to pay in full the
     preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other class
     or series of Parity Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall
     be distributed among the General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of
     such Series E Preferred Units, and the holders of such other Parity Units
     ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on
     such Series E Preferred Units and such other Parity Units if all amounts
     payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 3, (x)
     a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with one or more partnerships,
     limited liability companies, corporations, real estate investment trusts or
     other entities and (y) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially
     all of the Partnership's property or business shall not be deemed to be a
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the
     Partnership.

               (B) Subject to the rights of the holders of Partnership Units of
     any series or class ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series E
     Preferred Units upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Partnership, after payment shall have been made in full to the General
     Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the Series E Preferred Units, as
     provided in this Section 3, any other series or class or classes of Junior
     Units shall, subject to any respective terms and provisions (if any)
     applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be
     paid or distributed, and the General Partner, in its capacity as the holder
     of the Series E Preferred Units, shall not be entitled to share therein.

          4.   Redemption Right.
               ----------------

               (A) Except as provided in Section 4(B), the Series E Preferred
     Units shall not be redeemable prior to the third anniversary of the Issue
     Date.

                                      J-4
<PAGE>

     On and after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the General Partner
     may cause the Partnership to redeem the Series E Preferred Units, in whole
     or in part, (x) for Class A Units, subject to the conditions set forth in
     paragraph (i) below, or (y) for cash in an amount per Series E Preferred
     Unit equal to the Series E Liquidation Preference plus accrued and unpaid
     distributions (the "Redemption Price"), in each case subject to the
     conditions set forth below.

          (i)    The Series E Preferred Units shall be redeemed only if the
                 General Partner shall concurrently therewith redeem an
                 equivalent number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock for
                 REIT Shares or cash, as the case may be. Such redemption of
                 Series E Preferred Units shall occur substantially concurrently
                 with the redemption by the General Partner of such Series E
                 Preferred Shares (such date of redemption the "Redemption
                 Date").

          (ii)   In the event that the General Partner redeems shares of Series
                 E Preferred Stock in exchange for REIT Shares, an equivalent
                 number of Series E Preferred Units shall be converted into a
                 number of Class A Units equal to (x) the number of REIT Shares
                 issued by the General Partner in redemption of such shares of
                 Series E Preferred Stock divided by (y) the Conversion Factor.

          (iii)  In the event that the General Partner redeems shares of Series
                 E Preferred Stock for cash (including payments of cash in lieu
                 of fractional REIT Shares), the Partnership shall redeem a like
                 number of Series E Preferred Units in exchange for the amount
                 of cash that the General Partner is required to pay pursuant to
                 the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock in connection with
                 such redemption.

          (iv)   Upon any redemption of Series E Preferred Units, the
                 Partnership shall pay any accrued and unpaid distributions with
                 respect to the Series E Preferred Units being redeemed for any
                 Distribution Period ending on or prior to the Redemption Date.
                 If the Redemption Date falls after a Partnership Record Date
                 and prior to the corresponding Distribution Date, then the
                 General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the Series E
                 Preferred Units being redeemed, shall be entitled to
                 distributions payable on the corresponding Distribution Date
                 notwithstanding the redemption of such Series E Preferred Units
                 before such Distribution Date. Except as provided above, the
                 Partnership shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid
                 distributions, whether or not in arrears, on Series E Preferred
                 Units called for redemption.

          (v)    Any Class A Unit issued upon redemption of the Series E
                 Preferred Units shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-
                 assessable.

                                      J-5
<PAGE>

              (B) In the event that the General Partner is required to redeem
     any shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms thereof, the
     Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of Series E Preferred Units
     for consideration equal to the consideration payable by the General Partner
     upon redemption of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

          5.  Conversion to Class A Units.
              ---------------------------

              (A) In the event that a holder of Series E Preferred Stock
     exercises its right to convert such Series E Preferred Stock into REIT
     Shares, then, concurrently therewith, an equivalent number of Series E
     Preferred Units shall be automatically converted into a number of Class A
     Units equal to (x) the number of REIT Shares issued upon conversion of such
     Series E Preferred Shares divided by (y) the Conversion Factor. Any such
     conversion will be effective at the same time as the conversion of Series E
     Preferred Stock into REIT Shares is effective.

              (B) The General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of Series E
     Preferred Units that are converted pursuant to this Section 5 effective
     during the period after a Partnership Record Date and prior to the opening
     of business on the corresponding Distribution Date, shall not be entitled
     to receive the distribution payable on such Series E Preferred Units on
     such Distribution Date notwithstanding such conversion thereof following
     the corresponding Partnership Record Date and prior to such Distribution
     Date.

          6.  Ranking.  Any class or series of  Partnership Units shall be
              -------
     deemed to rank:

              (A) prior to the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of
     distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, if the holders of such class
     or series of Partnership Units shall be entitled to the receipt of
     distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of
     Series E Preferred Units;

              (B) on a parity with the Series E Preferred Units as to the
     payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, whether or not
     the distribution rates, distribution payment dates or redemption or
     liquidation prices per Partnership Unit be different from those of the
     Series E Preferred Units, if the holders of such class or series of
     Partnership Units and the Series E Preferred Units shall be entitled to the
     receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of
     accrued and unpaid distributions per Partnership Unit or liquidation
     preferences, without preference or priority one over the other ("Parity
     Units");

                                      J-6
<PAGE>

               (C) junior to the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of
     distributions or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, if such class or series of
     Partnership Units shall be Junior Units; and

               (D) junior to the Series E Preferred Units, as to the payment of
     distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, if such class or series of
     Partnership Units shall be Fully Junior Units;

          7.   Voting.  Except as required by law, the General Partner, in its
               ------
     capacity  as the holder of the Series E Preferred Units, shall not be
     entitled to vote at any meeting of the Partners or for any other purpose or
     otherwise to participate in any action taken by the Partnership or the
     Partners, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Partners.

          8.   Restriction on Ownership.  The Series E Preferred Units shall be
               ------------------------
     owned and held solely by the General Partner.

          9.   General.  The rights of the General Partner, in its capacity as
               -------
     the holder of the Series E Preferred Units, are in addition to and not in
     limitation on any other rights or authority of the General partner, in any
     other capacity, under the Agreement.  In addition, nothing contained in
     this Exhibit J shall be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict any rights or
          ---------
     authority of the General Partner under the Agreement, other than in its
     capacity as the holder of the Series E Preferred Units.
