Exchange Commission, as a &#147;well-known seasoned issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, using a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell securities
(including guarantees of debt securities sold by our operating partnership) from time to time and in one or more offerings and the selling securityholders to be named in a supplement to this prospectus may, from time to time, sell common stock from
time to time in one or more offerings as described in this prospectus. Each time that we or the selling securityholders offer and sell securities, we or the selling securityholders will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that
contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If
there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the
applicable prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </FONT></P>

that the information appearing in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate as of the date on its respective cover, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of
the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge,
consolidate, convert into another type of entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled
to cast at least two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation&#146;s charter. The
Company&#146;s charter provides for the approval of these matters by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except for the limited rights of holders of series B preferred stock described below under the heading &#147;Description
of Preferred Stock&#151;8.375% Series B Preferred Stock&#148; to approve certain amendments to the Company&#146;s charter, and except that the approval of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast is
required to remove a director elected by holders of the Company&#146;s common stock or to amend the removal provisions of the Company&#146;s charter or the vote required to amend such provisions. Holders of outstanding shares of series B preferred
stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of all outstanding shares of any other similarly-affected class or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred, have the exclusive right to vote on any
amendment to the Company&#146;s charter on which holders of the Company&#146;s series B preferred stock are entitled to vote and that would alter only the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Company&#146;s charter, of the series B
preferred stock and such other class or series of parity preferred stock, and the holders of any other class or series of the Company&#146;s stock, including the Company&#146;s common stock, will not be entitled to vote on such an amendment.
Maryland law also permits a corporation to transfer all or substantially all of its assets without the approval of its stockholders to an entity all of the equity interests of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation. Because the
Company&#146;s operating assets may be held by our operating partnership or its wholly owned subsidiaries, these subsidiaries may be able to merge or transfer all or substantially all of such assets without the approval of the Company&#146;s
stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s charter authorizes the Company&#146;s board of directors to reclassify any unissued shares
of the Company&#146;s common stock into other classes or series of stock, to establish the designation and number of shares of each such class or series and to set, subject to the rights of holders of the Company&#146;s series B preferred stock and
any other class or series of the Company&#146;s stock, and the provisions of the Company&#146;s charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company&#146;s stock, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe that the power of the Company&#146;s board of directors to amend the Company&#146;s charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of common stock, to authorize the
Company to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of the Company&#146;s common stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of the Company&#146;s common stock and thereafter to cause the Company to issue such classified or
reclassified shares will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs that might arise. Subject to the rights of holders of series B preferred stock to approve the
classification or issuance of shares, or increase in the number of authorized shares, of a class or series of the Company&#146;s stock ranking senior to the series B preferred stock, the additional classes or series of common stock, as well as the
additional authorized shares of common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by the Company&#146;s stockholders unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Company&#146;s securities may be listed or traded. Although the Company&#146;s board of directors does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize the Company to issue a class or series of stock that could, depending upon the
terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the Company that might involve a premium price for the Company&#146;s common stock or that the Company&#146;s common stockholders otherwise

during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Also, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of the Company&#146;s stock (after taking into account certain options to acquire shares of stock) may be owned, directly,
indirectly or through attribution, by five or fewer individuals (for this purpose, the term &#147;individual&#148; includes a supplemental unemployment compensation benefit plan, a private foundation or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or

series B preferred stock and capital stock that are intended to assist the Company in complying with these requirements and continuing to qualify as a REIT. The relevant sections of the Company&#146;s charter provide that, subject to the exceptions
described below, no person or entity may actually or beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of
the outstanding shares of the Company&#146;s common stock or of the Company&#146;s series B preferred stock, excluding any shares of common stock or series B preferred stock, respectively, that are not treated as outstanding for federal income tax
purposes, or more than 9.8% (in value) of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of the Company&#146;s capital stock. We refer to each of these restrictions as an &#147;ownership limit&#148; and collectively as the
&#147;ownership limits.&#148; A person or entity that would have acquired actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of the Company&#146;s stock but for the application of the ownership limits or any of the other restrictions on ownership and

of the Company&#146;s common stock or series B preferred stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, the Company&#146;s common stock or series B preferred stock) by an individual or entity could,
nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% in value or in number of shares (whichever is more restrictive) of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock or series B

and certain of their affiliates, which we refer to collectively as the Farallon excepted holders, exemptions from the ownership limits, subject to various conditions and limitations. During the time that such waivers have been or are effective, each
Farallon excepted holder has been and will be subject to an increased ownership limit applicable to such holder, or the excepted holder limit, as applicable. As a condition to granting such excepted holder limits, the Farallon excepted holders made
certain representations and covenants to us, including representations that, to their best knowledge, as a result of their ownership of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, no other person (other than our operating partnership) actually,
beneficially, or constructively owns shares of the Company&#146;s common stock in excess of the ownership limit and that, as of certain applicable dates, they did not actually or constructively own, or reasonably anticipate so owning, in excess of
9.9% (or, in certain cases, 5.45%) of the outstanding equity interests in any of the tenants that we have disclosed to the Farallon excepted holders in accordance with the terms of such waivers. Before we enter into or acquire a lease with a new
tenant, we are obligated to disclose the new tenant to the Farallon excepted holders, and such holders have one business day to inform us as to whether they actually or constructively own, or reasonably anticipate so owning, more than 9.9% (or, in
certain cases, 5.45%) of the equity interests in such tenant. If they do own such an interest, if we enter into a lease with that tenant, the rent from that tenant could fail to qualify under the REIT income tests. If this rent could prevent the
Company from satisfying the REIT gross income tests, then the Company&#146;s charter would require that the number of shares owned by the Farallon excepted holders in excess of the ownership limit be automatically transferred to a trust as described
below. If this occurs, and the Farallon excepted holders gave us advance notice of their tenant ownership as described above, we would be obligated to indemnify the Farallon excepted holders for any damages they suffer as a result of the transfer of
shares to the trust. In addition, even if the Farallon excepted holders do not own one of our tenants, they may later acquire over 9.9% (or, in certain cases, 5.45%) of the equity interests in that tenant without causing their exemption to be
terminated, provided that (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s annual income from that tenant and other tenants in which they own over a 9.9% (or, in certain cases, 5.45%) interest would not exceed 2% of the Company&#146;s gross income and the Company&#146;s
annual income from certain tenants to which the lower 5.45% threshold applies would not exceed 2% of the gross income from one of the Company&#146;s properties; and (ii)&nbsp;such ownership could not otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as
a REIT. As a result, ownership of our tenants by the Farallon excepted holders may increase the Company&#146;s nonqualifying income or prevent us from entering into certain leases with certain tenants. The representations and covenants made by the
Farallon excepted holders in connection with the granting of the exemptions are intended to ensure that, despite granting such exemptions, the Company will continue to qualify as a REIT. The Farallon excepted holders must inform the Company if any
of these representations becomes untrue or is violated, in which case they will lose their excepted holder limit. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may reduce the excepted holder limit (but not below the ownership limit) if the Farallon
excepted holders actually, beneficially or constructively own fewer shares than the excepted holder limit for a specified period. The Company&#146;s board of directors has granted to our operating partnership an exemption from the ownership limits.

Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP has rendered an opinion to us to the effect that, commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010, we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and
taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. It must be emphasized that this opinion was based on various
assumptions and representations as to factual matters, including representations made by us in a factual certificate provided by one of our officers. In addition, this opinion was based upon our factual representations set forth in this prospectus.
Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, which are discussed below, including through actual annual operating results, asset composition, distribution
levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual results of operation for any particular taxable year will
satisfy those requirements. Further, the anticipated federal income tax treatment described in this discussion may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any time. Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP has no
obligation to update its opinion subsequent to the date of such opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we

subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies and intend to operate them in a manner consistent with the requirements for our qualification as a REIT. If we become a limited partner or non-managing member in any partnership or limited
liability company and such entity takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or
limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take
other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless we were entitled to relief, as described below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the parent REIT for
all purposes under the Code, including all REIT qualification tests. Thus, in applying the federal tax requirements described in this discussion, any qualified REIT subsidiaries we own are ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit of such corporations are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not subject to federal income tax, and our ownership of the stock of a
qualified REIT subsidiary will not violate the restrictions on ownership of securities, as described below under &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. If a taxable REIT subsidiary owns more than
35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a
taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. In
addition, a taxable REIT subsidiary may be prevented from deducting interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by its parent REIT if certain tests regarding the taxable REIT subsidiary&#146;s debt to equity ratio and interest expense are not
satisfied. A REIT&#146;s ownership of securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary is not subject to the 5% or 10% asset test described below. See &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

from a hedging transaction, including gain from the sale or disposition of such a transaction, that is clearly identified as a hedging transaction as specified in the Code will not constitute gross income and thus will be exempt from the 75% and 95%
gross income tests. The term &#147;hedging transaction,&#148; as used above, generally means any transaction we enter into in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of (1)&nbsp;interest rate changes or fluctuations with respect
to borrowings made or to be made by us to acquire or carry real estate assets, or (2)&nbsp;currency fluctuations with respect to an item of qualifying income under the 75% or 95% gross income test. To the extent that we do not properly identify such

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.
Our operating partnership intends to hold its properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of<I></I> <I></I>acquiring, developing and owning its properties and to<I></I> make occasional sales of the
properties as are consistent with our operating partnership&#146;s investment objectives. We do not intend to enter into any sales that are prohibited transactions. However, the IRS may successfully contend that some or all of the sales made by our

the gross income tests and asset tests (for which the cure provisions are described above), and provided the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, these cure provisions generally impose a $50,000 penalty for each
violation in lieu of a loss of REIT status. If we fail to satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do not apply, we will be required to pay tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax,
on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT will not be deductible by us, and we will not be required to distribute any amounts to our stockholders. As a result,
we anticipate that our failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce the cash available for distribution by us to our stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, all distributions to stockholders will be taxable as regular corporate
dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. In such event, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. In addition, non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, may be eligible
for the preferential tax rates on qualified dividend income. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we would also be ineligible to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year for which we lose

which are not required to pay federal income tax. Rather, partners or members of such entities are allocated their shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the partnership or limited liability company, and are potentially
required to pay tax on this income, without regard to whether they receive a distribution from the partnership or limited liability company. We will include in our income our share of these partnership and limited liability company items for
purposes of the various gross income tests, the computation of our REIT taxable income, and the REIT distribution requirements. Moreover, for purposes of the asset tests, we will include our pro rata share of assets held by our operating

involve special tax considerations, including the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status of these entities as partnerships (or disregarded entities). For example, an entity that would otherwise be treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a &#147;publicly traded partnership&#148; and certain other requirements are met. A partnership or limited liability company would be treated as a publicly traded partnership
if its interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or a substantial equivalent thereof, within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations. We do not anticipate that our operating
partnership or any subsidiary partnership or limited liability company will be treated as a publicly traded partnership that is taxable as a corporation. However, if any such entity were treated as a corporation, it would be required to pay an
entity-level tax on its income. In this situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income would change and could prevent us from satisfying the REIT asset tests and possibly the REIT income tests. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our

change in the tax status of our operating partnership or a subsidiary partnership or limited liability company might be treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax liability without any related cash payment. We believe our operating
partnership and each of our other partnerships and limited liability companies have been and will continue to be treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

discussed below, will be taxable to our taxable U.S. stockholders as ordinary income when actually or constructively received. See &#147;&#151;Tax Rates&#148; below. As long as we qualify as a REIT, these distributions will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. stockholders that are corporations or, except to the extent provided in &#147;&#151;Tax Rates&#148; below, the preferential rates on qualified dividend income applicable to non-corporate U.S.

stock in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to such stock, these distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to a U.S. stockholder. This treatment will reduce the U.S. stockholder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in such shares of stock by the amount of the distribution, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a U.S. stockholder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in its shares
will be taxable as capital gain. Such gain will be taxable as long-term capital gain if the shares have been held for more than one year. Dividends we declare in October, November, or December of any year and which are payable to a stockholder of
record on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both paid by us and received by the stockholder on December&nbsp;31 of that year, provided we actually pay the dividend on or before January&nbsp;31 of the following year. U.S.
stockholders may not include in their own income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital losses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">U.S.
stockholders that receive taxable stock dividends, including dividends partially payable in our capital stock and partially payable in cash, would be required to include the full amount of the dividend (i.e., the cash and the stock portion) as
ordinary income (subject to limited exceptions) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described above. The amount of any dividend payable in our capital stock generally is equal to
the amount of cash that could have been received instead of the capital stock. Depending on the circumstances of a U.S. stockholder, the tax on the distribution may exceed the amount of the distribution received in cash, in which case such U.S.
stockholder would have to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If a U.S. stockholder sells the capital stock it received in connection with a taxable stock dividend in order to pay this tax and the proceeds of such sale are less than the
amount required to be included in income with respect to the stock portion of the dividend, such U.S. stockholder could have a capital loss with respect to the stock sale that could not be used to offset such dividend income. A U.S. stockholder that
receives capital stock pursuant to a distribution generally has a tax basis in such capital stock equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of such capital stock as described above, and has a holding period in such capital
stock that begins on the day immediately following the payment date for the distribution. </FONT></P>

&#147;debt-financed property&#148; is property the acquisition or holding of which was financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt stockholder. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

income taxation and does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences that may be relevant to a non-U.S. stockholder in light of its particular circumstances. We urge non-U.S. stockholders to consult their tax advisors to determine the

accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions ordinarily will be subject to withholding of federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless the distributions are treated as
effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. stockholder of a U.S. trade or business. Under certain treaties, however, lower withholding rates generally applicable to dividends do<I></I> not apply to dividends from a REIT. Certain
certification and disclosure requirements must be satisfied to be exempt from withholding under the effectively connected income exemption. Dividends that are treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business will generally not be
subject to withholding but will be subject to federal income tax on a net basis at graduated rates, in the same manner as dividends paid to U.S. stockholders are subject to federal income tax. Any such dividends received by a non-U.S. stockholder
that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (applicable after deducting federal income taxes paid on such effectively connected income) or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income
tax treaty. </FONT></P>

at the same rates applicable to U.S. stockholders, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax. We also will be required to withhold and to remit to the IRS 35% (or 20% to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations) of any distribution to
non-U.S. stockholders that is designated as a capital gain dividend or, if greater, 35% of any distribution to non-U.S. stockholders that could have been designated as a capital gain dividend. The amount withheld is creditable against the non-U.S.
stockholder&#146;s federal income tax liability. However, any distribution with respect to any class of stock that is &#147;regularly traded&#148; on an established securities market located in the United States is not subject to FIRPTA, and
therefore, not subject to the 35% U.S. withholding tax described above, if the non-U.S. stockholder did not own more than 5% of such class of stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date of the distribution. Instead, such

tax liability their proportionate share of the tax that we paid on such retained net capital gains and to receive from the IRS a refund to the extent their proportionate share of such tax that we paid exceeds their actual federal income tax
liability. If we were to designate any portion of our net capital gain as retained net capital gain, a non-U.S. stockholder should consult its tax advisor regarding the taxation of such retained net capital gain. <I> </I></FONT></P>

transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. &#147;Direct
participants&#148; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing
Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries.
Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC
and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Purchases of securities under the DTC system
must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn
recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing
details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by
entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be 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 securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other
nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are
credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P>

securities only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands

its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of
such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">So long as securities are
in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form
under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the
applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party. </FONT></P>

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 on the payment date in accordance with their
respective holdings shown on DTC 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 account of customers in bearer form or registered
in &#147;street name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend
payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to
the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Except under the limited circumstances

conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a &#147;<U>REIT</U>&#148;) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;<U>Code</U>&#148;), and its proposed method of operation

either prospectively or retroactively. Any such change may affect the conclusions stated herein. Also, any variation or difference in the facts from those set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the Officer&#146;s Certificate may
affect the conclusions stated herein. As described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company&#146;s qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Company&#146;s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under
the Code, including through actual annual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company&#146;s operation for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements. </P>
