(&#147;Series E Preferred Shares&#148;) and 6,000,000 of which are designated as Series G cumulative redeemable preferred shares (&#147;Series G Preferred Shares&#148;). Our Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to determine, at any

offering materials, summarizes the general provisions of any deposit agreement and of the depositary shares and depositary receipts representing depositary shares that we may offer under this prospectus. Because the following is a summary, it does
not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For more information, you should read the form of deposit agreement and depositary receipts which we will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is
part prior to an offering of depositary shares. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any depositary shares we may offer, you should also read the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials
which will describe the particular terms of any depositary shares that we may offer in more detail. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; This summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the descriptions of the particular
terms of the securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials and by the terms of the applicable final deposit agreement and depositary receipts. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may, at our option, elect to
offer depositary shares rather than full shares of preferred shares. In the event such option is exercised, each of the depositary shares will represent ownership of and entitlement to all rights and preferences of a fraction of a share or multiple
shares of preferred shares of a specified series (including distributions, voting, redemption and other liquidation rights). The applicable fraction will be specified in a prospectus supplement. If we exercise this option, we will appoint a
depositary to issue depositary receipts representing those fractional interests. Preferred shares of each series represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and the depositary. The prospectus
supplement or other offering materials relating to a series of depositary shares will show the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each owner of depositary shares will be entitled to all of
the distribution, voting, conversion, redemption, liquidation and other rights and preferences of the preferred shares represented by those depositary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement will evidence ownership of depositary shares. Upon surrender of
depositary receipts at the office of the depositary, and upon payment of the charges provided in and subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, a holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the preferred shares underlying
the surrendered depositary receipts. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify whether or not the depositary shares will be listed on any securities exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Distributions </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A depositary will be
required to distribute all cash distributions received in respect of the applicable preferred shares to the record holders of depositary receipts evidencing the related depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary receipts owned by
the holders. Fractions will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the distribution is other than in cash, a depositary will be
required to distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. In that case, the depositary may, with our approval,
sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary shares that represent preferred shares
converted or exchanged will not be entitled to distributions. The deposit agreement also will contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights we offer to holders of the preferred shares will be made available to
holders of depositary shares. All distributions will be subject to obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the depositary. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You may receive the number of whole shares of your series of preferred shares and any money or other property represented by those depositary
receipts after surrendering the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary, unless previously called for redemption. Partial shares of preferred shares will not be issued. If the depositary shares that you surrender exceed
the number of depositary shares that represent the number of whole preferred shares you wish to withdraw, then the depositary will deliver to you at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. Once you
have withdrawn your preferred shares, you will not be entitled to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-deposit</FONT> those preferred shares under the deposit agreement in order to receive depositary shares. We do not expect that there will be any
public trading market for withdrawn preferred shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we redeem a series of the preferred shares underlying the depositary shares, the depositary will redeem those shares from the proceeds
received by it. The depositary will mail notice of redemption not less than 30 days, and not more than 60 days, before the date fixed for redemption to the record holders of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares we are redeeming
at their addresses appearing in the depositary&#146;s books. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the preferred shares. The
redemption date for depositary shares will be the same as that of the preferred shares. If we are redeeming less than all of the depositary shares, we and the depositary will select the depositary shares we are redeeming on as nearly a pro rata
basis as is practicable without creating fractional shares or by any other equitable method determined by us that preserves our REIT status. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption no longer will be deemed outstanding. All distributions will
cease to accrue and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares and the related depositary receipts will cease at that time, except for the right to receive the money or other property to which the holders of depositary shares were entitled
upon redemption. Receipt of the money or other property is subject to surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the redeemed depositary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting of Depositary Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon receipt
of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable preferred shares are entitled to vote, a depositary will be required to mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the applicable depositary
receipts. Each record holder of depositary receipts on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of preferred shares represented by the holder&#146;s depositary
shares. The depositary will try, as practical, to vote the shares as you instruct. We will agree to take all reasonable action that the depositary deems necessary in order to enable it to do so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not instruct the depositary how to vote your shares, the depositary will abstain from voting those shares. The depositary will not
be responsible for any failure to carry out an instruction to vote or for the effect of any such vote made so long as the action or inaction of the depositary is in good faith and is not the result of the depositary&#146;s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation Preference </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon our liquidation, dissolution or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">winding-up,</FONT> whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of
depositary shares will be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each preferred share represented by the depositary shares, as shown in the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials. </P>

securities or property. Nevertheless, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials, the depositary receipts may be surrendered by holders to the applicable depositary with written instructions to it
to instruct us to cause conversion or exchange of the preferred shares represented by the depositary shares. Similarly, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials, we may require you to surrender
all of your depositary receipts to the applicable depositary upon our requiring the conversion or exchange of the preferred shares represented by the depositary shares into our debt securities. We will agree that, upon receipt of the instruction and
any amounts payable in connection with the conversion or exchange, we will cause the conversion or exchange using the same procedures as those provided for delivery of preferred shares to effect the conversion or exchange. If you are converting or
exchanging only a part of the depositary shares, the depositary will issue you a new depositary receipt for any unconverted or unexchanged depositary shares. </P>

information, you should read the forms of indentures we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may
offer, you should also read the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials which will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail. This summary is also subject to and qualified by reference
to the descriptions of the particular terms of the securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials and by the terms of the applicable final indenture, applicable indenture supplement and debt

in one or more series, which may include senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities and senior subordinated debt securities. The particular terms of any series of debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms
set forth below may be applicable to a particular series, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Debt
securities that we may issue will be issued under one or more separate indentures between us and a trustee to be named in the related prospectus supplement. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior indenture and subordinated debt
securities will be issued under a subordinated indenture. Together the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are called &#147;indentures&#148; and each an &#147;indenture.&#148; We have filed the forms of the indentures as exhibits to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If we enter into any indenture supplement, we will file a copy of that supplement with the SEC. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our direct obligations. The senior debt
securities will rank equally with all of our other senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will have a junior position to certain of our debt, as described in the subordinated securities themselves or under the supplemental
indenture under which they are issued. Unless we otherwise provide, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of the series, for issuances of additional securities of that series. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct a significant portion of our operations through our subsidiaries. Therefore, holders of debt securities will have a position junior
to the prior claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debtholders, secured creditors, taxing authorities and guarantee holders, and any preferred shareholders, except to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with
recognized and unsubordinated claims against any subsidiary. Our ability to pay principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any debt securities is, to a large extent, dependent upon the payment to us of dividends, distributions, interest or
other charges by our subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the forms of indentures. It

more than one trustee. If there are different trustees for different series of debt securities, each trustee will be a trustee of a trust under a supplemental indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee under such
indenture. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a trustee may be taken by the trustee only with respect to the one or more series of debt securities for which it is the
trustee under an indenture. Any trustee under an indenture or a supplemental indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities. All payments of principal or, premium, if any, interest on and any additional
amounts with respect to, and all registration, transfer, exchange authentication and delivery of, the debt securities of a series will be effected with respect to such series at an office designated by us. </P>

certain cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. If any trustee acquires an interest that conflicts with any duties with respect to the debt securities, such trustee is required to

her status as a shareholder. Despite this, our legal counsel has advised us that in some jurisdictions the possibility exists that shareholders of a trust entity such as ours may be held liable for acts or obligations of the trust. While we intend

Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (defined in the Code to include certain entities and constructive ownership among specified family members) at any time
during the last half of a taxable year. The shares also must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. In order to maintain our qualification as
a REIT, our Declaration of Trust contains restrictions on the acquisition of shares intended to ensure compliance with these requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Declaration of Trust generally provides that any person (not just individuals) holding more than 9.8% in number of shares or value, of the
outstanding shares of any class or series of our common shares or preferred shares (the &#147;Ownership Limit&#148;) may be subject to forfeiture of the shares (including common shares and preferred shares) owned in excess of the Ownership Limit. We
refer to the shares in excess of the Ownership Limit as &#147;Excess Shares.&#148; The Excess Shares may be transferred to a trust for the benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries. The trustee of that trust would have the right to vote the
voting Excess Shares, and distributions on the Excess Shares would be payable to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders of
Excess Shares would be entitled to compensation for their Excess Shares, but that compensation may be less than the price they paid for the Excess Shares. Persons who hold Excess Shares or who intend to acquire Excess Shares must provide written

to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1997. Our REIT election, assuming continuing compliance with the then applicable qualification tests, continues in effect for
subsequent taxable years. Although no absolute assurance can be given, we believe we have been organized and have operated in a manner which allows us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended
December&nbsp;31, 1997. We intend to continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. However, we cannot assure you that we have in fact met or will meet the
applicable requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws, which are highly technical and complex. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our counsel, Stinson LLP, has
rendered an opinion to us that, commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 1997, and through our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024, we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification
and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our current and proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for the current and future taxable years. This
opinion is based upon certain assumptions and representations as to factual matters made by us, including representations made by us in a representation letter and certificate provided by our officers and our factual representations set forth herein
and in registration statements previously filed with the SEC. Any variation from the factual statements set forth herein, in registration statements previously filed with the SEC, or in the representation letter and certificate we have provided to
our counsel may affect the conclusions upon which its opinion is based. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinions of Stinson LLP are based on existing law as
contained in the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect on the date of this prospectus, and the interpretations of such provisions and Treasury Regulations by the IRS and court decisions, all of which are subject to change
either prospectively or retroactively, and to possibly different interpretations. Our counsel will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our securities of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any
subsequent change in the applicable law. You should be aware that the opinions expressed are not binding upon the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contrary positions may not successfully be asserted by the IRS. Moreover,
our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability, through actual annual operating results and methods of operation, to satisfy various qualification tests imposed under the Code. Those qualification tests involve the percentage of
our income that we earn from specified sources, the percentage of assets that fall within specified categories, the diversity of our stock ownership and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute. While Stinson LLP has reviewed those matters
in connection with its opinion, Stinson LLP will not review our compliance with those tests on a continuing basis. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values
of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. There can be no assurance that the IRS would not challenge the valuations of the assets directly or indirectly owned by us. In

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
addition, our ability to qualify as a REIT also depends in part upon the operating results, organizational structure and entity classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes of certain
affiliated entities, including affiliates that have made elections to be taxed as REITs, and for whom the actual results of the various REIT qualification tests have not been and will not be reviewed by our counsel. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Accordingly, given the complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, including the potential
tax treatment of the investments we make, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT. Stinson LLP&#146;s opinion will not foreclose the possibility that we may have to use one or more REIT savings provisions discussed below, which could require us to pay an excise or penalty tax (which could be
material) in order for us to maintain our REIT qualification. For a discussion of the tax consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT, see &#147;&#151; Failure to Qualify.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For so long as we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our taxable
income that is distributed currently to our shareholders because we will be entitled to a deduction for dividends that we pay. This treatment substantially eliminates the &#147;double taxation&#148; (once at the corporate level when earned and once
again at the shareholders&#146; level when distributed) that generally results from investment in an ordinary Subchapter C corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any distributions to our shareholders will be included in their income as dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and
profits. U.S. shareholders generally will be subject to taxation on dividends distributed by us (other than designated capital gain dividends and dividends attributable to distributions we receive of &#147;qualified dividend income&#148;) at rates
applicable to ordinary income (currently at a maximum tax rate of 37% for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> shareholders), instead of at lower capital gain rates. However, for taxable years prior to 2026, individual shareholders
are generally allowed to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations, which would reduce the maximum marginal effective tax rate for individuals on the receipt of such ordinary dividends
to 29.6%. Capital gain dividends and qualified dividend income will continue to be subject to a maximum 20% rate for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. shareholders. Generally, our dividends are not treated as qualified
dividend income subject to a favorable 15% or 20% rate. No portion of any of our dividends is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. Distributions in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits generally
are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder&#146;s tax basis in our shares. Our current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally allocated first to distributions
made on our preferred shares, if any, and thereafter to distributions made on our common shares. For all of these purposes, our distributions include cash distributions and any in kind distributions of property that we might make. </P>

which is a partner in a partnership, or a member in a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of
the partnership or limited liability company, based on its interest in partnership capital, subject to special rules relating to the 10% REIT asset test described below. Also, the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to its proportionate share of the
income of that entity. The assets and items of gross income of the partnership or limited liability company retain the same character in our hands for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of the Code, including for purposes of satisfying the gross income
tests and the asset tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of income of partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships, in which we are, directly or indirectly through other partnerships or limited liability
companies taxed as partnerships, a partner or member, are treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT qualification requirements described in this prospectus (including the income and asset tests described below).
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Code, a partnership generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax; instead, each partner is allocated its distributive
share of the partnership&#146;s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and is required to take such items into account in determining the partner&#146;s income. New rules applicable to United States federal income tax audits of
partnerships generally went into effect for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. Under these rules, among other changes and subject to certain exceptions, any audit adjustment to items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of
a partnership (and any partner&#146;s distributive share thereof) is determined, and taxes, interest or penalties attributable thereto are assessed and collected, at the partnership level. It is possible that a partnership in which we directly or
indirectly invest may be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and we, as a direct or indirect partner of the partnership, 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. The changes created by these rules depend also on the particular provisions of each
partnership or limited liability company agreement and the elections made by the partnership representative on behalf of the partnership. </P>

the REIT qualification tests. Other entities that are wholly owned by us, including single member limited liability companies that have not elected to be taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are also generally disregarded as

include the income and assets of any QRS or other disregarded subsidiary. A QRS is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, and our ownership of the voting stock of a QRS is ignored for purposes of determining our compliance with the asset tests that

outstanding securities of such corporation. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS generally may engage in any business, including the provision of customary or

subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock of a TRS or taxable corporate subsidiary is an asset in our hands, and we treat the dividends paid to us from such TRS or taxable subsidiary, if any, as income. This treatment can affect our income and asset test
calculations, as described below. Because we do not include the assets and income of TRSs or other taxable corporate subsidiary in determining our compliance with the REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake indirectly activities
that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude us from doing directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. For example, we may use TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations to conduct activities that give rise to certain categories of income such
as management fees or to conduct activities that, if conducted by us directly, could be treated in our hands as prohibited transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed below under &#147;&#151;Penalty Tax,&#148; the rules impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its

dividends received from the TRS are paid to our shareholders. We may own more than 10% of the stock of a TRS without jeopardizing our qualification as a REIT. However, as noted below, in order for us to qualify as a REIT, the securities of all of
the TRSs in which we have invested either directly or indirectly may not represent more than 20% of the total value of our assets. We expect that the aggregate value of all of our interests in TRSs will represent less than 20% of the total value of
our assets; however, we cannot assure you that this will always be true. Our ownership of securities of a TRS will not be subject to the 10% or 5% asset tests described below, and the TRS&#146;s operations will be subject to the provisions described

lodging facility&#148; and is operated on behalf of the TRS by an &#147;eligible independent contractor.&#148; A &#147;qualified lodging facility&#148; is, generally, a hotel at which no authorized gambling activities are conducted, and includes the
customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the hotel. &#147;Customary amenities&#148; must be customary for other hotels of a comparable size and class owned by other owners unrelated to the REIT. An &#147;eligible
independent contractor&#148; is an independent contractor that, at the time a management agreement is entered into with a TRS to operate a &#147;qualified lodging facility,&#148; is actively engaged in the trade or business of operating
&#147;qualified lodging facilities&#148; for a person or persons unrelated to either the TRS or any REITs with which the TRS is affiliated. A hotel management company that otherwise would qualify as an &#147;eligible independent contractor&#148;
with regard to a TRS of a REIT will not so qualify if the hotel management company and/or one or more actual or constructive owners of 10% or more of the hotel management company actually or constructively own more than 35% of the REIT, or one or
more actual or constructive owners of more than 35% of the hotel management company own 35% or more of the REIT (determined with respect to a REIT whose shares are regularly traded on an established securities market by taking into account only the

in the future) will engage in &#147;operating&#148; or &#147;managing&#148; our hotels and that the hotel management companies engaged to operate and manage hotels leased to or owned by our TRSs will qualify as &#147;eligible independent
contractors&#148; with regard to the TRSs. We believe that our hotel managers have qualified, and will continue to qualify, as eligible independent contractors. In that regard, constructive ownership under Section&nbsp;318 of the Code resulting, for
example, from relationships between our hotel managers and our shareholders could impact the hotel management company&#146;s ability to satisfy the applicable ownership limit. Because of the broad scope of the attribution rules of Section&nbsp;318
of the Code, it is possible that not all prohibited relationships will be identified and avoided. The existence of such a relationship would disqualify a hotel management company as an eligible independent contractor, which would in turn disqualify
us as a REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain restrictions are imposed on TRSs. First, a trade or business (including, but not limited to, a trade or business of

least 75% of our gross income must be &#147;qualifying income.&#148; Qualifying income generally includes (i)&nbsp;&#147;rents from real property&#148; (except as modified below), (ii)&nbsp;interest on obligations collateralized by mortgages on, or
interests in, real property and real estate mortgages, other than gain from property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business (&#147;dealer property&#148;), (iii)&nbsp;dividends or other distributions on
shares in other REIT&#146;s, as well as gain from the sale of those shares, (iv)&nbsp;abatements and refunds of real property taxes, (v)&nbsp;income from the operation, and gain from the sale, of property acquired at or in lieu of a foreclosure of
the mortgage collateralized by such property (&#147;foreclosure property&#148;), (vi)&nbsp;commitment fees received for agreeing to make loans collateralized by mortgages on real property or to purchase or lease real property,
(vii)&nbsp;&#147;qualified temporary investment income,&#148; and (viii)&nbsp;gain from the sale or other disposition of a real estate asset which is not a prohibited transaction. Second, in each taxable year at least 95% of our gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) must be derived directly or indirectly from income from the real property investments described above or dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities (or from
any combination of the foregoing). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% gross income test (as

of the total fair market value of all such property). If we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable
year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement
will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. Even if a loan is not secured by real property, or is undersecured, the income that it generates may nonetheless qualify
for purposes of the 95% gross income test. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rents we receive pursuant to leases will qualify as &#147;rents from real property&#148; for

inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in arriving at our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt or for other reasons. Further, it is possible that from time to time we
may be allocated a share of net capital gain attributable to any depreciated property we sell that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. If these circumstances occur, we may need to arrange for borrowings, or may need to pay
dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends, in order to meet the distribution requirements. Furthermore, subject to certain exceptions, we must accrue income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is taken into

our taxable income or a reduction in reported expenses) to meet the 90% distribution requirement for a year by paying &#147;deficiency dividends&#148; to shareholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the
earlier year. Thus, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, subject to the 4% excise tax described below. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based on the amount of any deduction taken

purposes of computing their 2020 income limitation. Adjusted taxable income is determined without regard to certain deductions, including those for net interest expense, net operating loss carryforwards and, for taxable years beginning before
January&nbsp;1, 2022, depreciation, amortization and depletion. Provided the taxpayer makes a timely election (which is irrevocable), the 30% limitation does not apply to a trade or business involving real property development, redevelopment,
construction, reconstruction, rental, operation, acquisition, conversion, disposition, management, leasing or brokerage, within the meaning of Section&nbsp;469(c)(7)(C) of the Code. If this election is made, depreciable real property (including
certain improvements) held by the relevant trade or business must be depreciated under the alternative depreciation system under the Code, which is generally less favorable than the generally applicable system of depreciation under the Code. If we

these cure provisions generally impose a $50,000 penalty for each violation in lieu of a loss of REIT status. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our
taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders in any year in which we fail to qualify will not be deductible by us, and we will not be required to distribute any amounts to our shareholders. As a result, our failure to

earnings and profits, our earnings and profits will be allocated first to our outstanding preferred shares and then to our common shares. These distributions will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. shareholders
that are corporations. However, for taxable years prior to 2026, generally U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts or estates may deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations. To
the extent that we make distributions (not designated as capital gain dividends) in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, these distributions will be treated as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> return of
capital to each U.S. shareholder. This treatment will reduce the adjusted tax basis which each U.S. shareholder has in his or her shares of stock for tax purposes by the amount of the distribution (but not below zero). Distributions in excess of a
U.S. shareholders&#146; adjusted tax basis in his or her shares will be taxable as capital gains (provided that the shares have been held as a capital asset) and will be taxable as long-term capital gain if the shares have been held for more than

shareholders&#148; with respect to an investment in our shares. As used herein, the term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;Non-U.S.</FONT> shareholder&#148; means a beneficial owner of our shares who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not
a U.S. shareholder (as defined above) or an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of the ownership and disposition of shares by persons that are not U.S.
shareholders are complex. No attempt is made herein to provide more than a brief summary of such rules. Accordingly, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a <FONT

from a REIT. Certain certification and disclosure requirements must be satisfied to be exempt from withholding under the effectively connected income exemption. In general, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> shareholders will not be

redemption price at maturity&#148; over its &#147;issue price.&#148; The &#147;stated redemption price at maturity&#148; is the sum of all payments provided by the debt security, whether designated as interest or as principal, other than payments of
&#147;qualified stated interest.&#148; Interest on a debt security generally will constitute qualified stated interest if the interest is unconditionally payable, or will be constructively received under Section&nbsp;451 of the Code, in cash or in
property, other than debt instruments issued by us, at least annually at a single fixed rate. The &#147;issue price&#148; of a debt security is the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities in the issuance that includes such
debt security is sold for money, excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. The amount of OID with respect to a debt security will be treated
as zero if the OID is less than an amount equal to 0.0025 multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and the number of complete years to maturity, or, in the case of a debt security that provides for payment of any amount
other than qualified stated interest prior to maturity, the weighted average maturity of the debt security. If one or more series of debt securities are issued with OID, disclosure concerning the tax considerations arising therefrom will be included

withholding tax on U.S. source payments of dividends and interest and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations, discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our equity securities or debt securities paid to a foreign
financial institution or to a foreign entity other than a financial institution, unless (i)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations or (ii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is not a financial institution

requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S. owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions
prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. Certain countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the United States to facilitate the type of information reporting required

withholding for investors in (or indirectly holding our securities through financial institutions in) those countries. In addition, the presence in the payment chain of an intermediary that fails to comply with the additional certification,

legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time, and that any such action may affect investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the
legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department, resulting in revisions of regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts as well as statutory changes. Prospective investors are urged to consult with their tax
advisors regarding the effect of potential changes to the federal tax laws on an investment in our common stock. Revisions in U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in us. </P>

jurisdictions, including those in which they reside. The state and local tax treatment of us may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax treatment discussed above. Several states in which we may own properties treat REITs as ordinary Subchapter C
corporations subject to tax at the corporate level. In addition, your state and local tax treatment may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax treatment discussed above. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and

us, selling security holders or from purchasers of the securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and these dealers may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed, or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us, and any profit on the resale
of the securities they realize, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act. We may have agreements with underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to facilitate the offering of
securities, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of securities. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the securities
for their account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the shares, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares in the open market. Finally, an underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an
underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed shares in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions, or otherwise. Any of these
activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered securities above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. </P>

underwriters to whom securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus. If dealers are used in the sale, securities will be sold to those dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the
public at any market price or other prices to be determined by the dealers at the time of resale. If agents are used in the sale, unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials they will use their
reasonable best efforts to solicit purchasers for the period of their appointment. If securities are sold directly, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Direct sales may also be made through subscription rights distributed to our
shareholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to shareholders, if all of the securities are not subscribed for, the unsubscribed securities may be sold directly to third parties or
one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, may be engaged to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties. In the prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials, we will name any agent involved in
the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. An offer of securities is not being made in any state that does not permit such an offer. </P>

Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;), and, at the request of the Company, have examined the registration statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-3</FONT> (the &#147;<U>Registration

regulations promulgated thereunder. The Registration Statement relates to, among other things, the registration under the Securities Act of an indeterminate number or amount of (i)&nbsp;debt securities of the Company, (ii)&nbsp;the full and
unconditional guarantees by certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company of such debt securities, (iii)&nbsp;common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company, (iv)&nbsp;preferred shares of beneficial
interest, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company, (v)&nbsp;depositary shares representing such preferred shares evidenced by depositary receipts therefor, (vi)&nbsp;warrants to purchase one or more classes of securities registered under the
Registration Statement, and (vii)&nbsp;units comprised of one or more classes of securities registered under the Registration Statement, in each case, which may be offered from time to time, as set forth in the final prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement, and as may be set forth in one or more final supplements to such prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion relates to the qualification of the
Company as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a &#147;<U>REIT</U>&#148;) under the provisions of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;<U>Code</U>&#148;), and the
accuracy of certain matters discussed in the Registration Statement under the caption &#147;U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In rendering
the following opinions, we have reviewed and relied upon the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Company, as amended to date, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, and certain organizational documents of
certain of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries, as amended to date. For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed (i)&nbsp;the genuineness of all signatures on documents we have examined, (ii)&nbsp;the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, (iii)&nbsp;the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, (iv)&nbsp;the conformity to the original documents of copies obtained by us from filings with the Commission, (v)&nbsp;the conformity,
to the extent relevant to our opinions, of final documents to all documents submitted to us as drafts, (vi)&nbsp;the authority and capacity of the individual or individuals who executed any such documents on behalf of any person, (vii)&nbsp;due
execution and delivery of all such documents by all the parties thereto, (viii)&nbsp;the compliance of each party with all material provisions of such documents, and (ix)&nbsp;the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinions expressed herein are also based on certain representations made by the Company as to factual matters as set forth in the Company&#146;s
registration statements on Forms <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-3</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-11</FONT> previously filed with the Commission (the &#147;<U>Prior Registration Statements</U>&#148;). In connection with the
opinions expressed herein, we have reviewed such documents and made such inquiries as we have deemed necessary as a basis for such opinions. In addition, the Company has made certain factual representations to us as set forth in an Officer&#146;s
Certificate dated June&nbsp;3, 2025 (the &#147;<U>Officer&#146;s Certificate</U>&#148;), and, with the Company&#146;s permission, we have relied upon such factual representations in expressing our opinions herein. In expressing our opinions herein,
we have assumed, with your consent, that (i)&nbsp;the statements and representations set forth in the Prior Registration Statements, the Registration Statement and the Officer&#146;s Certificate are true and correct, (ii)&nbsp;the Officer&#146;s
Certificate has been executed by appropriate and authorized officer of the Company and (iii)&nbsp;no action has been, or will be, taken by the Company that is inconsistent with the Company&#146;s status as a REIT for any period prior or subsequent
to the date hereof. Although we have not independently investigated the representations to us set forth in the Officer&#146;s Certificate, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to question the accuracy of any representation contained
in the Officer&#146;s Certificate. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Moreover, the Company&#146;s qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Company&#146;s ability to meet, through actual annual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership, the various qualification tests imposed
under the Code, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company&#146;s operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements, and upon the

for the disposal of assets within 30 days after the close of a calendar quarter, and all available deficiency dividend procedures) available to the Company under the Code to correct violations of specified REIT qualification requirements of Sections
856 and 857 of the Code. Our opinions do not preclude the possibility that the Company may need to utilize one or more of the various &#147;savings provisions&#148; under the Code and the regulations thereunder that would permit the Company to cure
certain violations of the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Utilizing such savings provisions could require the Company to pay significant penalty or excise taxes and/or interest charges and/or make additional distributions to
shareholders that the Company otherwise would not make. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinions expressed herein are limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and we express
