estate investment trust (&#147;REIT&#148;) to include in its declaration of trust a
provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to the trust and
its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a)
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services
or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as
being material to the cause of action.&#160;
The Trust&#146;s declaration of trust contains a provision which limits the
liability of the Trust&#146;s trustees and officers to the maximum extent permitted
by Maryland law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust&#146;s declaration of trust authorizes
the Trust to obligate itself, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law,
to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding to (a) any present or former trustee or officer or
(b) any individual who, while a trustee or officer and at the Trust&#146;s request,
serves or has served another real estate investment trust, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other
enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of such real estate
investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee

of his status as a present or former trustee or officer of the Trust or his or

reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a

and bylaws also permit it to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who
served a predecessor of the Trust in any of the capacities described above and
to any employee or agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust.&#160; Maryland law requires the Trust to indemnify
a trustee or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his
service in that capacity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland REIT
to indemnify and advance expenses to its trustees, officers, employees and
agents to the same extent as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law
(the &#147;MGCL&#148;) for directors and officers of Maryland corporations.&#160; The MGCL permits a 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 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 a
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. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation or if the trustee or officer was adjudged to be
liable for an improper personal benefit unless in each case a court orders
indemnification and then only for expenses.&#160;
In accordance with the MGCL and the Trust&#146;s bylaws, the bylaws require
the Trust, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (a) a written
affirmation by the trustee or officer of his good faith belief that he has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (b) a written
statement by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us
if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.</font></p>

advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; 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 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.</p>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Trustees and Officers.
The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real
estate investment trust ("REIT") to include in its declaration of trust a
provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to the trust and
its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a)
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services
or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as
being material to the cause of action. 
The Trust's declaration of trust contains a provision which limits the
liability of the Trust's trustees and officers to the maximum extent permitted
by Maryland law.
The Trust's declaration of trust authorizes
the Trust to obligate itself, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law,
to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding to (a) any present or former trustee or officer or
(b) any individual who, while a trustee or officer and at the Trust's request,
serves or has served another real estate investment trust, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other
enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of such real estate
investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to
which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason
of his status as a present or former trustee or officer of the Trust or his or
her service in any of the capacities set forth in clause (b) above.  The Trust's bylaws obligate it, to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any
present or former trustee or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a
trustee or officer of the Trust and at the Trust's request, serves or has served
another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made a
6
party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity,
against any claim or liability to which he may become subject by reason of such
status.  The Trust's declaration of trust
and bylaws also permit it to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who
served a predecessor of the Trust in any of the capacities described above and
to any employee or agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust.  Maryland law requires the Trust to indemnify
a trustee or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his
service in that capacity.
The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland REIT
to indemnify and advance expenses to its trustees, officers, employees and
agents to the same extent as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law
(the "MGCL") for directors and officers of Maryland corporations.  The MGCL permits a 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 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 a
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. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation or if the trustee or officer was adjudged to be
liable for an improper personal benefit unless in each case a court orders
indemnification and then only for expenses. 
In accordance with the MGCL and the Trust's bylaws, the bylaws require
the Trust, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (a) a written
affirmation by the trustee or officer of his good faith belief that he has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (b) a written
statement by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us
if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (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
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's 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.
(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 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 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.
