<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Before you decide whether to purchase any Notes, in addition to the other information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; beginning on page 3 of our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2022 and in Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2023, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). For more information, see the section entitled &#147;Incorporation by
Reference.&#148; </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Notes are effectively subordinated to all our existing and future secured debt and the debt and any preferred equity of our
subsidiaries. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to our mortgages and other secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such debt and to our subsidiaries&#146; indebtedness to the
extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment of any of our secured debt is accelerated, the holders of that secured debt will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to secured lenders
under applicable law, including the ability to foreclose on and sell the assets securing such debt to satisfy such debt. In any such case, our remaining assets may be insufficient to repay the Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we operate a significant portion of our business through subsidiaries, we derive revenues from, and hold assets through, those
subsidiaries. In general, these subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. These subsidiaries will have no obligation to pay any amounts due on our debt securities, including the Notes, or to provide us with funds for our payment
obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise. Our right to receive any assets of any subsidiary in the event of a bankruptcy or liquidation of the subsidiary, and therefore the right of our creditors to participate in those
assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade creditors, and any preferred equity holders of that subsidiary, in each case to the extent that we are not recognized as a creditor of such
subsidiary. In addition, even where we are recognized as a creditor of a subsidiary, our rights as a creditor with respect to certain amounts are subordinated to other indebtedness of that subsidiary, including secured indebtedness to the extent of
the assets securing such indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of September&nbsp;30, 2023, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the issuance of the
Notes offered hereby and the application of the net proceeds from this offering, our and our subsidiaries&#146; total outstanding indebtedness would be approximately $&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; , approximately&#8195;% of which would be unsecured.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Notes restrict, but do not eliminate, the ability to incur additional debt or take other action that could negatively impact holders of the Notes.

of Debt Securities&#151;Merger, Consolidation and Sale&#148; and &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#151;Covenants&#148; in the accompanying prospectus, the Indenture does not contain any other provisions that would limit our ability to incur
indebtedness or that would afford holders of the Notes protection if we were to engage in transactions such as a highly leveraged or similar transaction, a change of control or a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction. In
addition, subject to the limitations set forth under &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#151;Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness,&#148; &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#151;Merger, Consolidation and Sale&#148; and &#147;Description of
Debt Securities&#151;Covenants&#148; in the accompanying prospectus, we may, in the future, enter into transactions, such as the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a merger or consolidation that would increase the amount of our
indebtedness or substantially reduce or eliminate our assets, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to service indebtedness, including the Notes. We have no present intention of engaging in a highly leveraged or similar transaction. </P>

prospectus supplement, after deducting the underwriting discounts and our other expenses related to this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds to repay all or a portion of the outstanding balance on our $1.2&nbsp;billion unsecured revolving
credit facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include property acquisitions and development in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures and working capital. See &#147;Capitalization.&#148; We have the option to increase
our $1.2&nbsp;billion unsecured revolving credit facility up to three times by up to an additional $500&nbsp;million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in August 2026 and has two consecutive <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">six-month</FONT> options to extend the maturity date at our election to August 2027. At October&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on the approximately $&#8195;&nbsp;million outstanding
on our unsecured revolving credit facility was approximately&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;%. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we may invest the proceeds in short-term securities. </P>

DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Global Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to
whose accounts such Global Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Global Securities unless authorized
by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting
rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Global Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Global Securities will be made to
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146; accounts, upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us
or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities
held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect
from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is our responsibility or that of the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If less than all of the Global Securities are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each
Direct Participant in such Global Securities to be redeemed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the
Global Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Global Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

of&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;% of the principal amount of the Notes to certain other dealers. After the initial offering of the Notes, the underwriters may, from time to time, vary the offering price and other selling terms. </P>

offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Notes or that an active public trading market for
the Notes will develop. If an active public trading market for the Notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. </P>

price of the Notes. Specifically, the underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering of the Notes, creating a syndicate short position. In addition, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, Notes in the open market to cover syndicate
short positions or to stabilize the price of the Notes. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed for distributing the Notes in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed Notes in syndicate covering
transactions, stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Notes above independent market levels, but no representation is made hereby of the magnitude of any effect that the
transactions described above may have on the market price of the Notes. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time without notice. </P>

underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the
purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered
hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they

least 95% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, from real estate sources and from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities or from any combination of the foregoing. We must
also derive at least 75% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property including rents from real property, gains on the disposition of real estate,
dividends paid by another REIT, interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property and, in particular circumstances, interest from particular types of temporary investments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rent derived from leases will be qualifying income under the REIT requirements, provided several requirements are satisfied. First, a lease
may not have the effect of giving us a share of the income or profits of the lessee (although the rent may be based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales). Second, the rent attributable to personal property that is leased in
connection with a lease of real property must not exceed 15% of the total rent received under the lease. If so, the portion of rent attributable to the personal property will not qualify as rents from real property. The test to determine the rent
attributable to personal property that is leased in connection with a lease of real property is based on relative fair market values. Third, in general, rents received from a related party tenant will not qualify as rents from real property. For
these purposes, a tenant will be a related party tenant if the REIT, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, owns 10% or more of the tenant&#146;s stock (by vote or value) if such tenant is a corporation, or 10% or more of the
tenant&#146;s assets or net profits if such tenant is not a corporation. However, we may lease property to a taxable REIT subsidiary and, provided an exception to the related party rent rules is applicable, the rents received from that subsidiary
will not be disqualified from being rents from real property by reason of our ownership interest in the subsidiary. We can avail ourselves of this exception to the related party rent rules so long as at least 90% of the leased space of the property
is rented to persons who are not related parties or taxable REIT subsidiaries and the taxable REIT subsidiary pays commercially reasonable rent which is substantially comparable to the rent paid by third parties. A taxable REIT subsidiary includes a
corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock and that has made a joint election with the REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A corporation other than a REIT of which a taxable REIT subsidiary owns
directly or indirectly securities possessing greater than 35% of the total voting power or securities (other than certain &#147;straight debt&#148; securities) possessing greater than 35% of the total value, however, is automatically treated as a
taxable REIT subsidiary without an election. A taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to federal income tax at the corporate rate. Fourth, the REIT generally must not operate or manage its property or furnish or render services to tenants. However,
the REIT may provide customary services directly or provide <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services through either (i)&nbsp;a taxable REIT subsidiary or (ii)&nbsp;an independent contractor from whom the REIT derives no income;
provided that such independent contractor bears the cost of the services, a separate charge is made for such services, the amount of the separate charge is received and retained by such independent contractor and such independent contractor is
adequately compensated. Also, the REIT may provide <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services with respect to its properties as long as the income from the provision of these services with regard to each property does not exceed
1% of all amounts received by the REIT from each property. For purposes of the 1% threshold, the amount that a REIT will be treated as receiving for performing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services will be the greater of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Asset Tests</I>. On the last day of each calendar quarter, we must meet five tests concerning the nature of our assets. First, at least 75%
of the value of our total assets generally must consist of real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities. For purposes of this test, the term &#147;real estate assets&#148; generally means real property (including interests in real
property and interests in mortgages on real property) and shares (or transferable certificates of beneficial interest) in other REITs, as well as any stock or debt instrument attributable to the investment of the proceeds of a stock offering or a
public offering of debt with a term of at least five years, but only for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> period beginning on the date the REIT receives such proceeds. For taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2015, the
term &#147;real estate assets&#148; also includes debt instruments of publicly offered REITs, personal property securing a mortgage secured by both real property and personal property if the fair market value of such personal property does not
exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property, and personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property for which the rent attributable to personal property is not greater than 15% of the total rent received under
the lease. Second, no more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities, other than securities in the 75% asset class. Third, with regard to these securities, the value of any one issuer&#146;s securities owned by us may not exceed
5% of the value of our total assets, unless the issuer is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and we may not own more than 10% of the voting power or value of any one issuer&#146;s outstanding securities, unless the issuer is a taxable REIT subsidiary or, in
the case of the 10% value test, we can avail ourselves of a safe harbor for &#147;straight debt.&#148; Fourth, no more than 20% of our total assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Fifth, no more than 25% of
our total assets may consist of debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs that qualify as &#147;real estate assets&#148; only because of the express inclusion of &#147;debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs&#148; in the
definition. We must satisfy the asset tests at the close of each quarter. If we fail an asset test as of the close of the quarter due to the acquisition of securities or other property during the quarter, we may satisfy this test by disposing of the
securities or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> property within the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> period following the close of that quarter. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not
challenge our compliance with these tests. If we hold assets in violation of the applicable asset tests, and certain relief provisions do not apply, we would be disqualified as a REIT. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We currently own more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of several subsidiaries that have each elected to be a taxable
REIT subsidiary. It should be noted that the Code contains two provisions that ensure that taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. First, taxable REIT subsidiaries are limited in their ability to
deduct interest paid or accrued within the taxable year on its indebtedness. Second, if a taxable REIT subsidiary pays an amount to a REIT that exceeds the amount that would be paid to an unrelated party in an
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#146;s-length</FONT> transaction, the REIT generally will be subject to an excise tax equal to 100% of such excess. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mortgage loans will be qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test unless the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan
exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan, in which case a portion of such loan likely will not be a qualifying real estate asset under the federal income tax laws. The
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> portion of that mortgage loan will be equal to the portion of the loan amount that exceeds the value of the associated real property. Accordingly, any mezzanine loans will not be qualifying
assets for purposes of the 75% asset test to the extent that they are not considered to be secured by mortgages on real property. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Other Restrictions</I>. The REIT requirements impose a number of other restrictions on our operations. For example, any gain that we
realize on the sale of property held as inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, including our share of any such gain realized by the Operating Partnerships, either directly or through their
subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies, will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax, unless certain safe harbor exceptions apply. This prohibited transaction income may also
adversely affect our ability to satisfy the gross income tests for qualification as a REIT. Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of
fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. We intend to hold our properties and to cause the Operating Partnerships to hold their properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to
engage in the business of acquiring and owning properties and making occasional sales of the properties as are consistent with our investment objective. We do not intend, and do not intend to permit the Operating Partnerships or their subsidiary
partnerships or limited liability companies, to enter into any sales that are prohibited transactions. However, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully contend that some or all of the sales made by us, the Operating Partnerships or their
subsidiary partnerships or limited liability companies are prohibited transactions. We would be required to pay the 100% penalty tax on our allocable share of the gains resulting from any such sales. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest or redetermined taxable REIT subsidiary service income we generate will be
subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our tenants by a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours, and redetermined deductions and excess
interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm&#146;s length negotiations, and redetermined taxable REIT
subsidiary service income is income of a taxable REIT subsidiary that is understated as a result of services provided to us or on our behalf. Rents we receive will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions
contained in the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Distributions</I>. Due to minimum distribution requirements, we must generally distribute each year an amount

identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into, including gain from the disposition or termination of such a transaction, will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross

the partnership generally takes a carryover basis in that property for tax purposes equal to the adjusted basis of the contributing partner in the property, rather than a basis equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of
contribution. Under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to this contributed property must be allocated in a manner such that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, respectively, the
unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at
the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. We will refer to this allocation as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;book-tax</FONT> difference.&#148; These allocations are solely for
federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each
Operating Partnership has received contributions of appreciated property. The partnership agreement of each Operating Partnership requires tax allocations to be made in a manner consistent with Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code. The Treasury
Regulations under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code provide partnerships with a choice of several methods of accounting for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> differences for property contributed on or after December&nbsp;21, 1993,
including the retention of the traditional method that was available under prior law or the election of particular alternative methods. Each Operating Partnership has elected the traditional method of Section&nbsp;704(c) allocations. Under the
traditional method, which is the least favorable method from our perspective, the carryover basis of contributed interests in the properties in the hands of an Operating Partnership could cause us (a)&nbsp;to be allocated lower amounts of
depreciation deductions for tax purposes than would be allocated to us if such properties were to have a tax basis equal to their fair market value at the time of the contribution and (b)&nbsp;to be allocated taxable gain in the event of a sale of
such contributed interests in our properties in excess of the economic or book income allocated to us as a result of such sale, with a corresponding benefit to the other partners in such Operating Partnership. These allocations possibly could cause
us to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with REIT distribution requirements. However, we do not anticipate that this adverse effect will occur. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event the Internal Revenue Service audits the income tax returns of a partnership, the partnership (rather than the partners) will
generally be required to pay any imputed underpayments, including interest and penalties, resulting from an audit adjustment to the partnership&#146;s items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, or an adjustment to the allocation of such
items among the partners. Such imputed underpayments will be based on the highest individual or corporate income tax rate in effect for the year being audited, unless the partnership is able to establish that the underpayment is allocable to a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> partner or would have otherwise been taxed at a lower rate. In some cases, the partnership may be required to pay an imputed underpayment with respect to items of taxable income on which a partner has
previously paid tax. Although it is uncertain how certain aspects of these rules will be implemented, it is possible that they could result in partnerships in which we directly or indirectly invest being required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and we, as a direct or indirect partner of these partnerships, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest, and penalties even though we, as a REIT, may not otherwise have
been required to pay additional corporate-level taxes as a result of the related audit adjustment. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these changes and their potential impact on their investment in our

that use the accrual method of tax accounting and prepare &#147;applicable financial statements&#148; will have to recognize income form their debt securities no later than the taxable year in which such income is taken into account as revenue in
their &#147;applicable financial statements.&#148; The Internal Revenue Service has issued final regulations stating that original issue discount and market discount will not be subject to these special timing rules. Such rules may require investors
to report income earlier than it would otherwise be recognized under the tax rules discussed below. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of such rules on their investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stated Interest and Market Discount</I>. Holders of debt securities will be required to include stated interest on the debt securities in
gross income for federal income tax purposes in accordance with their regular method of accounting for tax purposes. Purchasers of debt securities should be aware that the holding and disposition of debt securities may be affected by the market
discount provisions of the Code. These rules generally provide that if a holder of a debt security purchases it at a market discount and thereafter recognizes gain on a disposition of the debt security, including a gift or payment on maturity, the
lesser of the gain or appreciation, in the case of a gift, and the portion of the market discount that accrued while the debt security was held by the holder will be treated as ordinary interest income at the time of the disposition. For this
purpose, a purchase at a market discount includes a purchase after original issuance at a price below the debt security&#146;s stated principal amount. The market discount rules also provide that a holder who acquires a debt security at a market
discount and who does not elect to include the market discount in income on a current basis may be required to defer a portion of any interest expense that may otherwise be deductible on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry
the debt security until the holder disposes of the debt security in a taxable transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A holder of a debt security acquired at a
market discount may elect to include the market discount in income as the discount on the debt security accrues, either on a straight line basis, or, if elected, on a constant interest rate basis. The current inclusion election, once made, applies
to all market discount obligations acquired by the holder as of the first day of the taxable year for which the election is made and to all market discount instruments acquired thereafter and may not be revoked without the consent of the Internal
Revenue Service. If a holder of a debt security elects to include market discount in income in accordance with the preceding sentence, the foregoing rules with respect to the recognition of ordinary income on a sale or particular other dispositions
of such debt security and the deferral of interest deductions on indebtedness related to such debt security would not apply. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amortizable Bond Premium</I>. Generally, if the tax basis of a debt security held as a capital asset exceeds the amount payable at maturity
of the debt security, the excess may constitute amortizable bond premium that the holder may elect to amortize under the constant yield method and deduct the amortized premium over the period from the holder&#146;s acquisition date to the debt
security&#146;s maturity date. If made, such an election will apply to all premium debt securities (other than those that pay <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> interest) that the holder owns as of the first day of the taxable year
for which the election is made and to any premium debt security that the holder acquires thereafter. A holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the tax basis in the related debt security by the amount of the aggregate deductions
allowable for amortizable bond premium. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amortizable bond premium deduction is treated as an offset to interest income on the related

the sale, exchange, redemption, payment upon maturity or other taxable disposition of the debt security. The gain or loss is measured by the difference between (a)&nbsp;the amount of cash and the fair market value of property received and
(b)&nbsp;the holder&#146;s tax basis in the debt security as increased by any market discount previously included in income by the holder and decreased by any amortizable bond premium deducted over the term of the debt security. However, the amount
of cash and the fair market value of other property received excludes cash or other property attributable to the payment of accrued interest not previously included in income, which amount will be taxable as ordinary income. Subject to the market
discount and amortizable bond premium rules described above, any gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss, provided the debt security was a capital asset in the hands of the holder and had been held for more than one year. </P>

fact or (b)&nbsp;provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A holder of debt securities or
shares who does not provide us with its current taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Any amount paid as backup withholding will be creditable against the holder&#146;s federal income tax
liability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will report to holders of debt securities or shares and the Internal Revenue Service the amount of any interest or
dividends paid and any amount withheld with respect to the debt securities or shares during the calendar year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>State, Local and Other Taxes </B></P>

liability companies, and the holders of our securities may be subject to state, local and other tax in various states, localities and other jurisdictions, including those in which we or you transact business, own property or reside. Our and your tax
treatment in these jurisdictions may differ from the federal income tax treatment described above. Consequently, as a prospective investor, you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the effect of state, local and other tax laws on an
investment in our debt securities and shares. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Future Changes in U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Numerous changes to the Code were made in legislation commonly referred to as the &#147;Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,&#148; including a number of
changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules related to the taxation of individuals and corporations. In addition to reducing corporate and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> tax rates, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated and
restricted various deductions and limited the ability to utilize net operating losses. Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary and apply only to taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, and before January&nbsp;1,
2026. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made numerous large and small changes to the tax rules which do not affect REITs directly but may affect our securityholders and may indirectly affect us. On March&nbsp;27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted into law. Among other changes, the CARES Act made technical corrections, or temporary modifications, to certain of the provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. On August&nbsp;16, 2022, legislation
commonly referred to as the &#147;Inflation Reduction Act&#148; was enacted into law. Among other changes, the Inflation Reduction Act included a number of changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to corporations and their
securityholders, including imposing a 15% corporate minimum tax, based on adjusted financial statement income of certain &#147;applicable corporations&#148; and an excise tax of 1% on the fair market value of net stock repurchases (and economically
similar transactions) in excess of stock issuances made by publicly-traded corporations. These changes to the tax rules do not apply to REITs but may affect our securityholders and may indirectly affect us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The U.S. federal income tax rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue
Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. No assurance can be given as to whether, when, or in what form, the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to us and our securityholders may be enacted. Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws and
interpretations of U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect an investment in our securities. Prospective securityholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other legal, regulatory,
and administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on investment in our securities. </P>
