Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 4, Section 10 of the Declaration of Trust provides as follows with respect to the
limitation of liability of Trustees:
1
To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time permits limitation of
the liability of trustees of a real estate investment trust, no Trustee of the Trust shall
be liable to the Trust or to any Shareholder for money damages. Neither the amendment nor
repeal of this Section 10, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of this
Declaration of Trust inconsistent with this Section 10, shall apply to or affect in any
respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with respect to any act or failure to
act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. In the absence of any
Maryland statute limiting the liability of trustees of a Maryland real estate investment
trust for money damages in a suit by or on behalf of the Trust or by any Shareholder, no
Trustee of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust or to any Shareholder for money damages
except to the extent that (i) the Trustee actually received an improper benefit or profit
in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property
or services actually received; or (ii) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the Trustee is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the
Trustees action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and
was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.
Article 4, Section 11 of the Declaration of Trust provides as follows with respect to the
indemnification of Trustees:
The Trust shall indemnify each Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law,
as amended from time to time, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he or she was a Trustee of the Trust or is or was serving at the
request of the Trust as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, member, employee or
agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
limited liability company, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, from all claims and
liabilities to which such person may become subject by reason of service in such capacity
and shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses, as such expenses are incurred, of each
Trustee in connection with any such proceedings.
Article 8, Section 1 of the Declaration of Trust provides as follows with respect to the
limitation of liability of officers and employees:
To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time permits limitation of
the liability of officers of a real estate investment trust, no officer of the Trust shall
be liable to the Trust or to any Shareholder for money damages. Neither the amendment nor
repeal of this Section 1, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of this
Declaration of Trust inconsistent with this Section 1, shall apply to or affect in any
respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with respect to any act or failure to
act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. In the absence of any
Maryland statute limiting the liability of officers of a Maryland real estate investment
trust for money damages in a suit by or on behalf of the Trust or by any Shareholder, no
officer of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust or to any Shareholder for money damages
except to the extent that (i) the officer actually received an improper benefit or profit
in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property
or services actually received; or (ii) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the
officers action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and
was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.
Article 8, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust provides as follows with respect to the
indemnification of Trustees:
The Trust shall have the power to indemnify each officer, employee and agent, to the
fullest extent permitted by Maryland law, as amended from time to time, in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer,
employee or agent of the Trust or is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a
director, trustee, officer, partner, manager,
2
member, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, limited liability company, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, from
all claims and liabilities to which such person may become subject by reason of service in
such capacity and shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses, as such expenses are
incurred, of each officer, employee or agent in connection with any such proceedings.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its officers and Trustees which
provide for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities of such officer or Trustee, arising out
of any lawsuit or claim against such officer or Trustee due to the fact that he was or is serving
as an officer or Trustee, except for such liabilities and expenses (a) the payment of which is
judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act or (c) relating to judicially determined criminal violations. In addition, the Company has
entered into indemnity agreements with each of its Trustees who is not also an officer of the
Company which provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest lawful extent
permitted by Maryland law in connection with any pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by
reason of serving as a Trustee and the Company has established a trust to fund payments under the
indemnification agreements.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Incorporated by reference to the Exhibit Index attached hereto.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
|
(i) |
|
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the registration statement; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
3
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
