Notwithstanding Sections 200.154 and 200.157, a restriction placed on the transfer or registration of transfer of a security of a real estate investment trust is valid if the restriction reasonably:
(1) obligates the holder of the restricted security to offer a person, including the real estate investment trust or other holders of securities of the real estate investment trust, an opportunity to acquire the restricted security within a reasonable time before the transfer;
(2) obligates the real estate investment trust, to the extent provided by this code, or another person to purchase a security that is the subject of an agreement relating to the purchase and sale of the restricted security;
(3) requires the real estate investment trust or the holders of a class of the real estate investment trust's securities to consent to a proposed transfer of the restricted security or to approve the proposed transferee of the restricted security for the purpose of preventing a violation of law;
(4) prohibits the transfer of the restricted security to a designated person or group of persons and the designation is not manifestly unreasonable; or
(5) maintains a tax advantage to the real estate investment trust, including maintaining its status as a real estate investment trust under the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted under the Internal Revenue Code.
