ITEM 34. INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS.
The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust 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
Declaration of Trust of the Registrant contains such a provision which
eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the Maryland REIT
Law.
The Declaration of Trust of the Registrant authorizes it, to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law, to obligate itself 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 of the Registrant and at the request of the Registrant, 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 or her status as a present or
former Trustee or officer of the Registrant. The Bylaws of the Registrant
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 of 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 Registrant and at the request
of the Registrant, 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 and who is made a 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 Declaration of Trust and
Bylaws also permit the Registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to any
person who served a predecessor of the Registrant in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of the Registrant 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 real estate investment trust to
indemnify and advance expenses to its trustees and officers to the same extent
as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation
II-2
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 made 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. However, under the MGCL, 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 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) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good
faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or on
his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
The Operating Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership
shall indemnify the Registrant, as general partner, and each director, officer
and shareholder of the Registrant and each person (including any affiliate)
designated as an agent by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted under
the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act from and against any and
all losses (including reasonable attorney's fees), and any other amounts arising
out of or in connection with any claim, relating to or resulting (directly or
indirectly) from the operations of the Operating Partnership, in which such
indemnified party becomes involved, or reasonably believes it may become
involved, as a result of its acting in the referred to capacity.
Reference is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit
to this Registration Statement pursuant to which the underwriters will agree to
indemnify the Company and its trustees and officers against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) 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 Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of a registrant statement in reliance upon Rule 430A, and
contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be
part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus 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.
