    This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual
    Meeting and Proxy Card are first being sent to stockholders on
    or about April&#160;10, 2008. The Board of Directors has fixed
    the close of business on March&#160;20, 2008 as the record date
    for the Annual Meeting (the &#147;Record Date&#148;). Only
    stockholders of record of the Company&#146;s common stock, par
    value $.01 per share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;), at the
    close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice
    of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date,
    there were 44,169,156&#160;shares of Common Stock outstanding
    and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of Common
    Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date
    will be entitled to one vote for each share held by them on each
    matter presented to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

    <B>Stockholders of the Company are requested to complete, sign,
    date and promptly return the accompanying Proxy Card in the
    enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. Shares represented by a
    properly executed Proxy Card received prior to the vote at the
    Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual
    Meeting as directed on the Proxy Card. If a properly executed
    Proxy Card is submitted and no instructions are given, the
    persons designated as proxy holders on the Proxy Card will vote
    (i)&#160;FOR the election of the three nominees for
    Class&#160;II Directors and the one nominee for Class&#160;III

    business that may properly come before the stockholders at the
    Annual Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

    The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least a
    majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Common
    Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for
    the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The
    affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast
    with a quorum present at the Annual Meeting is required for the
    election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of
    the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting
    firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as
    votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the majority
    vote required, although they will be counted for quorum purposes.

    A stockholder of record may revoke a proxy at any time before it
    has been exercised by filing a written revocation with the

    by appearing in person and voting by ballot at the Annual

    further action) of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not
    constitute revocation of a previously given proxy. &#147;Street

    Directors of the Company who are also employees, namely Michael
    W. Brennan and Michael G. Damone, receive no additional
    compensation for their services as a director. Compensation of
    non-employee directors is reviewed annually by the Compensation
    Committee of the Board of Directors, which makes any
    recommendations of compensation changes to the entire Board of
    Directors. Currently, non-employee directors of the Company
    receive an annual director&#146;s fee equivalent in value to
    $40,000. At least 50% of the value of such fee must be taken in
    the form of restricted Common Stock but directors can elect to
    receive a greater proportion of their fee in restricted Common
    Stock. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an
    additional fee of $20,000 for his service as Chairman of the
    Audit Committee; the Chairman of the Compensation Committee
    receives an additional fee of $10,000 for his service as
    Chairman of the Compensation Committee; and the Chairman of the
    Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee receives an additional
    fee of $5,000 for his service as Chairman of the
    Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. Each non-employee
    director also receives $2,000 for each in-person meeting of the
    Board of Directors attended, $1,500 for each telephonic Board
    meeting participated in, $2,000 for each in-person committee
    meeting attended and $1,500 for each telephonic committee
    meeting participated in. Following the 2007 Annual Meeting of
    Stockholders, each of the Company&#146;s non-employee directors
    also received 1,500&#160;shares of restricted Common Stock under
    the 1997 Stock Plan. Shares of restricted Common Stock issued to
    directors receive dividends at the same rate as the
    Company&#146;s Common Stock. Non-employee directors are not
    entitled to retirement benefits, incentive compensation or
    perquisites, although they are reimbursed for their
    out-of-pocket expenses for meeting attendance.

    The Company maintains the philosophy that compensation of its
    executive officers and other employees should serve the best
    interests of the Company&#146;s stockholders. Accordingly, the
    Company believes its executive compensation program should not
    only serve to attract and retain talented, capable individuals,
    but also to provide them with proper incentives linked to
    performance criteria that are designed to maximize the
    Company&#146;s overall performance. To this end, the
    Company&#146;s compensation program consists of a mix of
    compensation that is intended to compensate executive officers
    for their contributions during the year and to reward them for
    achievements that lead to increased Company performance and
    increases in stockholder value.

    The Compensation Committee typically formulates executive
    compensation beginning in the December before and in the first
    quarter of the applicable fiscal year by setting that
    year&#146;s salary and, if applicable, maximum cash and equity
    bonus for each of its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief
    Financial Officer and its three other most highly compensated
    executive officers (the &#147;Named Executive Officers&#148;)
    and certain other members of senior management. Also, typically,
    in the first quarter of the applicable fiscal year, the
    Compensation Committee adopts, and the full Board of Directors
    ratifies, the performance criteria to be used to determine the
    Chief Executive Officer&#146;s and other Named Executive
    Officers&#146; (other than Gerald Pientka) incentive
    compensation for that year. Then, after the end of the
    applicable fiscal year, the Compensation Committee meets to
    determine incentive compensation to be paid to the Named
    Executive Officers (other than Mr.&#160;Pientka) with respect to
    that year. At that time, the Compensation Committee also reviews
    the calculations of the incentive compensation of senior
    management with respect to that year, per the terms of the
    respective plans and agreements covering those members of senior
    management. Per such determination, the Company pays cash
    bonuses, typically in February, and issues restricted stock,
    typically in March. In the case of the Named Executive
    Officers&#146; 2007 incentive compensation, the Compensation
    Committee reviewed/determined both the cash and equity
    components of incentive compensation at meetings on
    January&#160;23, 2008, February&#160;2, 2008 and
    February&#160;12, 2008. Cash bonuses were paid on
    February&#160;22, 2008 and restricted stock awards were granted
    on March&#160;7, 2008. The restricted stock awards were granted
    in the ordinary course, and the number of shares to be awarded
    was based on the closing price of the Company&#146;s Common
    Stock on February&#160;11, 2008, the day prior to the
    Compensation Committee&#146;s final meeting to approve incentive
    compensation.

    Periodically, though not every year, the Company and the
    Compensation Committee engage the services of outside
    consultants to evaluate the Company&#146;s executive

    retained FPL Associates, an outside consultant, to review the

    Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment
    Officer and Executive Vice President&#160;&#151; Operations, and

    The Company considers base salary, incentive bonuses and
    benefits/perquisites as independent components of the
    Company&#146;s executive compensation program. Base salary and
    benefits/perquisites are intended to compensate Named Executive
    Officers for services rendered and increases to their base
    salary are a function of individual performance and general
    economic conditions. Incentive bonuses, by contrast, are linked
    to, and are a function of the achievement of, performance
    criteria that are designed to maximize the Company&#146;s
    overall performance. Base salary and benefits/perquisites
    constitute approximately 1/3 of Named Executive Officers&#146;
    compensation in a typical year, while incentive bonus makes up
    approximately 2/3. This allocation between base salary and
    incentive compensation is consistent with the Compensation
    Committee&#146;s compensation philosophy that executive
    officers&#146; compensation should be largely tied to
    performance criteria designed to maximize the Company&#146;s
    overall performance.

    The Compensation Committee does not have a specific policy

    portion of executive officer compensation should be paid in the
    form of equity. The mix of maximum cash and non-cash incentive
    compensation our executive officers are entitled to receive is
    set forth in their respective employment agreements. Depending
    on the individual, non-cash compensation makes up approximately
    40% of the executive officers&#146; potential incentive

    When granting non-cash compensation to the executive officers,
    the Compensation Committee uses restricted stock awards.
    Typically, such restricted stock awards vest ratably over

    the Company&#146;s Common Stock on the day prior to the
    submission of award information and recommendations to the

    The Company provides the Named Executive Officers with base
    salary to compensate them for services rendered during the
    fiscal year. The base salaries of the Named Executive Officers
    are a function of the minimum base salaries specified in their
    employment agreements and the increases to such base salaries
    approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
    Committee consulted with outside compensation consultants in
    setting the base salaries of the Named Executive Officers that
    are specified in their employment agreements. In determining
    increases to such base salaries for the following year, the
    Compensation Committee considers individual performance of the
    Named Executive Officers in the most recently completed year,
    including organizational and management development and sales
    leadership exhibited from year-to-year and peer information
    provided by compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee
    also considers general economic conditions prevailing at the end
    of such year, when the increases for the following year are
    typically determined. Overall, the increases in base salaries
    for 2007 were relatively modest and reflect a cost of living
    increase. The increase in the base salary of the Company&#146;s
    Chief Executive Officer reflects, in addition to a cost of
    living increase, the Compensation Committee&#146;s consideration
    of the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s leadership of the Company
    and the Company&#146;s strong performance during 2006.

    When granting awards under the Executive Officer Bonus Plan, the
    Compensation Committee evaluates five broad performance
    categories designed to reward different areas of executive
    officer performance. These categories include earnings growth,
    growth in stockholder value, customer base growth, personnel
    excellence and competitiveness. Under these five broad
    categories are more specific goals and objectives: for example,
    under the broad category &#147;earnings growth&#148; there is a
    funds from operations (or
    FFO<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">(2)</SUP>)
    growth percentage target, among other targets; under
    &#147;growth in stockholder value&#148; there is a target total
    stockholder return, among other targets; under &#147;customer
    base growth&#148; there is a tenant retention target, among
    other targets; under &#147;personnel excellence&#148; there is a
    target percentage for employee satisfaction, among other
    targets; under &#147;competitiveness&#148; there is a target
    percentage for portfolio occupancy to exceed market occupancy,
    among other targets.

    The Compensation Committee sets targets based on the
    above-described criteria at the beginning of each year and
    evaluates whether the Company met, exceeded or failed to meet
    each of these more specific goals and objectives. Based on this
    evaluation, the Compensation Committee assigns an overall
    &#147;grade&#148; to each of the broad categories. An overall
    weighted average grade, expressed as a percentage, is then
    established based on the weight the Compensation Committee has
    assigned to each of the broad categories: currently 50% to
    earnings growth and 12.5% to each of customer base growth,
    personnel excellence, competitiveness and growth in stockholder
    value. Earnings growth is given the greatest weight in this
    calculation because the Compensation Committee believes this
    category represents the most important goal for our executive
    officers for the reasons stated in the note below.

    For 2007, the Compensation Committee assigned a high grade to
    the earnings growth category. This grade was primarily based on
    FFO per share growth of 12%, compared to a target of 10%. In
    addition to the grade for earnings growth, the Compensation
    Committee assigned average grades for customer base growth,
    personnel excellence, and competitiveness and a low grade for
    growth in stockholder value. The overall weighted average grade
    is then applied to the applicable officer&#146;s maximum cash
    and equity bonus to compute the executive officers&#146;
    estimated cash and non-cash bonus payout.

    Once the Compensation Committee has determined the estimated
    cash and non-cash bonus payout for each executive officer, it
    has the discretion to increase or decrease such amounts, and to
    alter the mix of cash versus non-cash compensation. Based on the
    achievement of these and other factors and on the Compensation
    Committee&#146;s evaluation of certain other qualitative
    factors, including organizational and management development and
    sales leadership exhibited from year-to-year, the Compensation
    Committee awarded bonuses to the Named Executive Officers that
    participate in the Executive Officer Bonus Plan ranging from 58%
    to 87% of the executive officer&#146;s maximum cash bonus
    potential and 58% to 87% of the executive officer&#146;s maximum
    equity bonus potential (based on the closing price of the
    Company&#146;s common stock on February&#160;11, 2008 ($31.28)).
    This range is primarily attributable to differences in
    individual performance evaluations. The Compensation Committee

    &#160;(2)&#160;FFO is a non-GAAP measure that the Company
    defines as net income available to common stockholders, plus
    depreciation and amortization of real estate, minus accumulated
    depreciation and amortization on real estate sold. Investors in
    and analysts following the real estate industry utilize FFO,
    variously defined, as a supplemental performance measure. The
    Company considers FFO, given its wide use by and relevance to
    investors and analysts, an appropriate supplemental performance
    measure. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset
    values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts
    for the effects of GAAP depreciation/amortization of real estate
    assets. In addition, FFO is commonly used in various ratios,
    pricing multiples/yields and returns and valuation calculations
    used to measure financial position, performance and value. FFO
    does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
    accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
    available to fund cash needs, including the repayment of
    principal on debt and payment of dividends and distributions.
    FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income
    available to common stockholders (calculated in accordance with
    GAAP) as a measure of results of operations or cash flows
    (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity.
    FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to
    similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures of other
    REITs or to the definition of FFO published by NAREIT. Please
    see the reconciliation of FFO to net income available to common
    stockholders contained in our Current Report on

    expenses of, and ordinary dividends with respect to, restricted

    highly compensated executive officers (the &#147;Named Executive
    Officers&#148;) for the fiscal year ended December&#160;31,

    Base salary of the Named Executive Officers accounted for only
    approximately 20% of the aggregate total compensation of the
    Named Executive Officers for 2007. This is consistent with the
    Company&#146;s compensation philosophy, which is to weight
    compensation towards incentive compensation to better align
    executive compensation with the Company&#146;s actual economic
    performance during the applicable fiscal year.

    Restricted Common Stock granted to the Named Executive Officers
    typically vests in three approximately equal installments on
    each January&#160;1st&#160;following the year of grant. From and
    after the date of issuance, holders of the restricted Common
    Stock are entitled to vote such Common Stock and receive
    dividends at the same rate applicable to unrestricted shares of
    Common Stock.

    The Company has entered into written employment agreements with
    Messrs.&#160;Brennan, Havala, Yap, Draft and Pientka. These
    employment agreements may require the Company to make payments
    and provide benefits to these executives in the event of a
    termination of their employment or of a change of control.
    Severance amounts payable to Messrs.&#160;Havala, Yap and Draft
    upon their termination will be reduced if such amounts become
    payable after their respective 67th&#160;birthdays. In addition
    to their rights under the standard grant agreements under our
    stock incentive plans, Messrs.&#160;Havala, Yap and Draft are
    entitled to the accelerated vesting of their restricted stock
    and stock options in the event their employment is terminated
    without cause. In addition to his rights under the standard
    grant agreements under our stock incentive plans,
    Mr.&#160;Pientka is entitled to the accelerated vesting of his
    restricted stock in the event his employment is terminated
    without cause.

    In addition to the events of termination of employment
    identified in the following table, the employment agreements
    provide for payments in the event of an executive&#146;s death
    or disability. Mr.&#160;Brennan&#146;s agreement provides that,
    upon a termination related to disability, Mr.&#160;Brennan is
    entitled to receive his current annual base salary for five
    years after termination and to the continuation of his health
    benefits or comparable health coverage for a period of up to
    five years. Upon a work-related disability, each of
    Mr.&#160;Havala, Mr.&#160;Yap and Mr.&#160;Draft is entitled to
    severance in an amount equal to three times his annual base
    salary, plus 75% of his maximum bonus potential for the
    then-current year prorated through the date of termination. Upon
    death, each executive is entitled to such base salary and unused
    vacation pay that has accrued and remains unpaid through the
    date of death and 75% of the maximum cash bonus for which he
    would have been eligible, prorated through the date of his
    death. Mr.&#160;Pientka is entitled to 50% of his prior
    year&#146;s total compensation upon permanent disability or
    death.

    The employment agreements also contain important non-financial
    provisions that apply in the event of a termination of
    employment or of a change of control. Benefits payable upon a
    merger, acquisition or other changes in control are payable upon
    consummation of such transactions regardless of whether the
    executive is terminated. Each of Mr.&#160;Havala, Mr.&#160;Yap
    and Mr.&#160;Draft has agreed to a one-year covenant not to
    compete after his termination, except in connection with certain
    changes in control of the Company. Each of Mr.&#160;Havala,
    Mr.&#160;Yap and Mr.&#160;Draft has agreed to a six-month
    covenant not to compete in connection with certain changes in
    control of the Company. In the event of termination,
    Mr.&#160;Brennan has agreed to a one-year covenant not to
    compete and a two-year covenant (one year in the case of a
    change of control) not to solicit Company employees after
    termination. Mr.&#160;Pientka has agreed to a one-year covenant
    not to compete after his termination.

    Pursuant to a meeting of the Audit Committee on
    February&#160;21, 2008, the Audit Committee reports that it has:
    (i)&#160;reviewed and discussed the Company&#146;s audited
    financial statements with management; (ii)&#160;discussed with
    the independent registered public accounting firm the matters
    (such as the quality of the Company&#146;s accounting principles
    and internal controls) required to be discussed by Statement on
    Auditing Standards No.&#160;61; and (iii)&#160;received written
    confirmation from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that it is
    independent and written disclosures regarding such independence
    as required by Independence Standards Board No.&#160;1, and
    discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence.
    Based on the review and discussions referred to in items
    (i)&#160;through (iii)&#160;above, the Audit Committee
    recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
    statements be included in the Company&#146;s annual report for
    the Company&#146;s fiscal year ended December&#160;31, 2007.

    <I>Transactions with Related Persons.</I>&#160;&#160;The Company
    often engages in transactions for which CB Richard Ellis, Inc.
    (&#147;CBRE&#148;) acts as a broker. CBRE is among the largest
    real estate brokerage companies in the world. The brother of
    Michael W. Brennan, the President and Chief Executive Officer
    and a director of the Company, is an employee of CBRE and a
    member of CBRE&#146;s national Single Tenant Net Lease
    Properties Group. In 2007, in two transactions in which the
    Company sold property for approximately $26.6&#160;million and
    $35.8&#160;million, Mr.&#160;Brennan&#146;s brother received
    $81,438 and $42,250, respectively, as a portion of the brokerage
    commissions paid by the Company to CBRE in connection with such
    transactions. Also in 2007, in one transaction in which the
    Company sold property for approximately $48.8&#160;million,
    Mr.&#160;Brennan&#146;s brother received $116,750, as a portion
    of the brokerage commissions paid by the buyer to CBRE in
    connection with such transactions. Management of the Company
    believes the terms of brokerage services provided by CBRE in
    such transaction were as favorable to the Company as could be
    obtained in arm&#146;s length transactions.
