property or services or (2)&nbsp;active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and
which was material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates
such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our charter authorizes us and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary
determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses
in advance of financial disposition of a proceeding to any present or former director or officer
who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in
that capacity, or any individual who, while one of our directors or
officers and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director,
officer, partner or trustee and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by
reason of his or her service in that capacity from and against any claim or liability to which that
individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her status as
our present or former director or officer. Our charter and bylaws
also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who
served our predecessor in
any of the capacities described above and any employee or agent of
ours or our predecessor.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maryland law requires us (unless our charter provides otherwise, which it does not) to
indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense
of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his or
her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits us to indemnify our 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 (1)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to
the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (A)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (B)&nbsp;was the result
of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper
personal benefit in money, property or services or (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
However, under Maryland law, we may not indemnify for an adverse
judgment in a suit by or in our
right or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for
expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits us to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon our receipt of (1)&nbsp;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 us and (2)&nbsp;a written undertaking by the director or officer or on the directors or
officers behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it is ultimately
determined that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct.

such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
Our charter authorizes us and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary
determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses
in advance of financial disposition of a proceeding to any present or former director or officer
who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in
that capacity, or any individual who, while one of our directors or
officers and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director,
officer, partner or trustee and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by
reason of his or her service in that capacity from and against any claim or liability to which that
individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her status as
our present or former director or officer. Our charter and bylaws
also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who
served our predecessor in
any of the capacities described above and any employee or agent of
ours or our predecessor.
Maryland law requires us (unless our charter provides otherwise, which it does not) to
indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense
of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his or
her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits us to indemnify our 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 (1) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to
the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result
of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) the director or officer actually received an improper
personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
However, under Maryland law, we may not indemnify for an adverse
judgment in a suit by or in our
right or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for
expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits us to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon our receipt of (1) 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 us and (2) a written undertaking by the director or officer or on the directors or
officers behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it is ultimately
determined that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct.
In addition, certain persons, including trustees of CS Business Trust I and CS Business Trust
II, our directors officers or employees, the officers or employees of
Cogdell Spencer LP, CS Business Trust
I and CS Business Trust II our, and other persons that CS Business Trust I and CS Business
Trust II designate from time to time, are indemnified for specified liabilities and expenses
pursuant to the Cogdell Spencer LP Partnership Agreement, the partnership in which we serve as a
general partner through a wholly owned Maryland business trust.

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 the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective
II-3
Table of Contents
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth 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 may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the SEC 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.
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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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 SEC 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 (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 SEC 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
II-4
Table of Contents
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.
