Item 4.    Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Chapter 8 of the Texas Business Organizations Code empowers a real estate investment trust to indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation that can lead to such an action, suit or proceeding because the person is or was a governing person, former governing person, officer, employee, agent, or delegate of the real estate investment trust against a judgment and expenses, other than a judgment, that are reasonable and actually incurred by the person in connection with a proceeding if the person acted in good faith and reasonably believed his conduct was in or not opposed to the best interests of the real estate investment trust and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
1
The Texas Business Organizations Code further provides that, except to the extent otherwise permitted therein, a trust manager may not be indemnified in respect of a proceeding in which the person is found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the enterprise, breach of the person's duty of loyalty owed to the enterprise, or an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the enterprise.  Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred and may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person has been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the real estate investment trust.
Section 200.314 of the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Law provides that no trust manager shall be liable to the real estate investment trust for any act, omission, loss, damage, or expense arising from the performance of his duty to a real estate investment trust, save only for his own willful misfeasance, willful malfeasance or gross negligence.
Article Sixteen of the Company's amended and restated declaration of trust provides that it shall indemnify officers and trust managers, as set forth below:
(a)    We shall indemnify, to the extent provided in the Company's bylaws, every person who is or was serving as the Company's or the Company's corporate predecessor's director, trust manager or officer and any person who is or was serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise with respect to all costs and expenses incurred by such person in connection with any proceeding in which he was, is, or is threatened to be named as a defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being made a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his holding or having held a position named above in this paragraph.
(b)    If the indemnification provided in paragraph (a) is either (i) insufficient to cover all costs and expenses incurred by any person named in such paragraph as a result of such person being made or threatened to be made a defendant or respondent in a proceeding by reason of his holding or having held a position named in such paragraph or (ii) not permitted by Texas law, we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent that indemnification is permitted by Texas law, every person who is or was serving as the Company's or the Company's corporate predecessor's director, trust manager or officer and any person who is or was serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise with respect to all costs and expenses incurred by such person in connection with any proceeding in which he was, is or is threatened to be named as a defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being made a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his holding or having held a position named above in this paragraph.
The Company's bylaws provide that we may indemnify any trust manager or officer who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, because the person is or was serving as the Company's trust manager, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the Company's request  in the same or another capacity in another corporation or business association, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred if it is determined that the person:  (1) conducted himself in good faith; (2) reasonably believed that, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, his conduct was in the Company's best interests, and that, in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the Company's best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;  provided that, if the person is found liable to us, or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person, the indemnification (A) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with  the proceeding and (B) will not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable to us for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty.
