</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Sections&nbsp;8-301(15) and 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended, the
Trust has the power to indemnify members of the board of trustees and officers of the Trust under
certain prescribed circumstances (including when authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested trustees, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more disinterested trustees, by
independent legal counsel, or by shareholders) and, subject to certain limitations (including,
unless otherwise determined by the proper court, when such trustee or officer is adjudged liable to
the Trust), against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his or her being a trustee or
officer of the Trust if it is determined that he or she acted in accordance with the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions (including when such trustee or officer
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Trust&#146;s best interests), and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;XII of the Trust&#146;s By-laws provides that the Trust has the power to indemnify members
of the board of trustees, officers and shareholders of the Trust against expenses (including legal
fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the successful defense of a proceeding
to which such person was made a party by reason of such status, whether the success of such defense
was on the merits or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The trustees, officers and
shareholders of the Trust also have the right, in certain circumstances, to be paid in advance for
expenses incurred in connection with any such proceedings. In addition, Section&nbsp;9.4 of the Trust&#146;s
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides that the Trust has the power to
indemnify trustees, officers and shareholders of the Trust, and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding.

date hereof (the &#147;Partnership Agreement&#148;), provides for indemnification of the general partners of
the Operating Partnership and others. Section&nbsp;7.8(d) of the Partnership Agreement authorizes the
Operating Partnership to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its general partner and
others against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such
person regardless of whether the Operating Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
person against liability under the Partnership Agreement. In addition, Section&nbsp;7.9 of the
Partnership Agreement limits the liability of the Operating Partnership&#146;s general partner for
monetary and other damages.

Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933

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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Trust
Under Sections 8-301(15) and 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended, the
Trust has the power to indemnify members of the board of trustees and officers of the Trust under
certain prescribed circumstances (including when authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested trustees, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more disinterested trustees, by
independent legal counsel, or by shareholders) and, subject to certain limitations (including,
unless otherwise determined by the proper court, when such trustee or officer is adjudged liable to
the Trust), against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his or her being a trustee or
officer of the Trust if it is determined that he or she acted in accordance with the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions (including when such trustee or officer
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Trust's best interests), and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Article XII of the Trust's By-laws provides that the Trust has the power to indemnify members
of the board of trustees, officers and shareholders of the Trust against expenses (including legal
fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the successful defense of a proceeding
to which such person was made a party by reason of such status, whether the success of such defense
was on the merits or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The trustees, officers and
shareholders of the Trust also have the right, in certain circumstances, to be paid in advance for
expenses incurred in connection with any such proceedings. In addition, Section 9.4 of the Trust's
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides that the Trust has the power to
indemnify trustees, officers and shareholders of the Trust, and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding.
The Operating Partnership
Section 8570 of the Pennsylvania Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act authorizes the
Operating Partnership to indemnify any partner or other person from and against any and all claims
and
2
demands whatsoever, unless it is determined by a court that the act or omission giving rise to the
claim of indemnification constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
The Amended Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended as of the
date hereof (the "Partnership Agreement"), provides for indemnification of the general partners of
the Operating Partnership and others. Section 7.8(d) of the Partnership Agreement authorizes the
Operating Partnership to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its general partner and
others against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such
person regardless of whether the Operating Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
person against liability under the Partnership Agreement. In addition, Section 7.9 of the
Partnership Agreement limits the liability of the Operating Partnership's general partner for
monetary and other damages.

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 the registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(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 in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range
3
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 the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section shall not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in 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 that are incorporated
by reference into the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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 of 1933
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
