Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

2005 Performance Goals Established for 2004 Performance Shares

     In 2004, each of our executive officers was granted a number of performance shares under the Company’s 2000 Performance Share Plan. These performance shares are eligible to vest over a five-year period from the grant date, based on the Company’s achievement of specified targets for Funds From Operations Per Share (“FFO”) established by the Company’s Executive Compensation Committee for each year of the award. On January 26, 2005, the Executive Compensation Committee established the threshold, target and superior levels of achievement for FFO for 2005, which will be used to determine the vesting of such awards for the second year of the five-year performance cycle. The awards will vest in 2005 in a range from 0% to 30%, depending on a comparison of actual FFO to the levels established by the Executive Compensation Committee.
