STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;8-301(15) of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to indemnify or advance expenses to trustees and
officers to the same extent as is permitted for directors and officers of a Maryland corporation under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the &#147;MGCL&#148;). Section&nbsp;2-418 of the MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter
provides otherwise) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that capacity, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director
or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (ii)&nbsp;was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services or (c)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of
liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and a written undertaking
by such director or officer or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it will ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. </FONT></P>

officer or (ii)&nbsp;any individual who, while serving as the Company&#146;s trustee or officer and at the Company&#146;s request, serves or has served as a trustee, director, officer, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of another real
estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and in each case who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her
service in such capacity or capacities. The Bylaws also permit the Company, subject to the approval of the board of trustees, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served as predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described
above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;9.2 of the Declaration of

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any repeal or amendment of such provisions of the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws will be prospective only and will not adversely affect

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 8-301(15) of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to indemnify or advance expenses to trustees and
officers to the same extent as is permitted for directors and officers of a Maryland corporation under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"). Section 2-418 of the MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter
provides otherwise) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that capacity, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director
or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
A Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of
liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon the corporation's receipt of a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and a written undertaking
by such director or officer or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it will ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
Section 9.3 of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the "Declaration of Trust") and Article XII of the
Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") respectively provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law, the Company has the authority to, and shall indemnify and advance expenses to, (i) any present or former trustee or
officer or (ii) any individual who, while serving as the Company's trustee or officer and at the Company's request, serves or has served as a trustee, director, officer, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of another real
estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and in each case who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her
service in such capacity or capacities. The Bylaws also permit the Company, subject to the approval of the board of trustees, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served as predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described
above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company.
Section 9.2 of the Declaration of
Trust also eliminates the personal liability of present or former trustees and officers of the Company for monetary damages to the Company or its shareholders, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.
Any repeal or amendment of such provisions of the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws will be prospective only and will not adversely affect
any limitation on the personal liability of a trustee or officer arising from an act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment.
The Company has also entered into an indemnification agreement (each, an
"Indemnification Agreement") with each of the Company's trustees and officers, including John T. Thomas, John W. Lucey and John W. Sweet Jr. (each an "Indemnitee"). Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, the Company
agreed to indemnify, and advance expenses to, each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses arising from any "Proceeding" (as such
term is defined in the Indemnification Agreements) in which an Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of any Indemnitee's service as (i) a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
(ii) at the request of the Company, a director, trustee, officer, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of another enterprise. These indemnification agreements also provide that upon an application for indemnity by an executive
officer or trustee to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, such court may order the Company to indemnify such executive officer or trustee.
In addition to the above, the Company has purchased and maintains insurance on behalf of all of its trustees and executive officers against liability asserted against or incurred by them in their official
capacities with the Company, whether or not the Company is required or has the power to indemnify them against the same liability.
ITEM 7.
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8.
EXHIBITS.
The list of
exhibits is set forth under "Exhibit Index" at the end of this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9.
UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
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 this 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 this Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that the undertakings set forth in
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above 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 registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
(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.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
(c)
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 Company 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 its 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly
