commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. We believe that we have operated in a manner that has allowed us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with such taxable year, and intend to continue operating
in such a manner. We conduct substantially all of our business through the operating partnership, of which we serve as the sole general partner. </P>

18.0% of our capital allocation since our initial public offering in 2010 and estimated project costs as a percentage of our Company&#146;s share of market capitalization have averaged approximately 8.0% over the preceding eight quarters. Estimated
project costs are based on management estimates and exclude capitalized interest, personnel costs and operating expenses. Gross assets represents the sum of total assets calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP, plus accumulated depreciation and amortization. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also have a diverse concentration of tenants. The table below

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the White Paper issued in December 2018 on FFO
approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;), excluding gains and losses from sales of
depreciable real estate, gains and losses from sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred
financing costs and depreciation of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-real</FONT> estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related
to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. In the December 2018 White Paper, NAREIT provided an option to include value changes in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We elected this option retroactively during fourth quarter 2018. We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance.
The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those
operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different
methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Implicit in historical cost accounting
for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and
analysts have considered presentations of operating </P>

with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the
required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">However,

financial obligations, including our obligations to pay dividends or liquidation payments to our preferred stockholders. As a result, these obligations are effectively subordinated to existing and future liabilities of the operating partnership,
including our obligations to pay preferred distributions on the series A preferred units of our operating partnership. In particular, the series A preferred units rank senior to the series C preferred units and common units of our operating
partnership. Accordingly, our operating partnership must satisfy its obligations to make preferred distributions to the series A preferred units before it may make distributions to us. Moreover, in the event of our bankruptcy or the bankruptcy of
our operating partnership, holders of series A preferred units will generally be entitled to payment of their liquidation preference from the assets of our operating partnership before those assets are made available for distribution to us. As a
result, any right that we have to receive any assets of our operating partnership upon its liquidation or reorganization, and the liquidation preference of the series C preferred stock, will be subordinated to the liquidation preference of the
series A preferred units and other liabilities of our operating partnership. In addition, we may not redeem our series C preferred stock unless we have paid distributions on the series A preferred units for all prior distribution periods. As of

C preferred stock intended to assist us in maintaining our status as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes. For example, the terms of the series C preferred stock and our charter will restrict any person from acquiring beneficial or
constructive ownership of more than 9.8% (by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of our series C preferred stock or our common stock or 9.8% (by value) of our outstanding capital stock. See
&#147;Description of the Series C Preferred Stock&#151;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer&#148; in this prospectus supplement and &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer&#148; in the accompanying prospectus. You should consider these
ownership limitations prior to your purchase of the series C preferred stock. In addition, the articles supplementary will provide that no holder of series C preferred stock will be entitled to convert such stock into our common stock to the extent
that receipt of our common stock would cause the holder to exceed the ownership limitations contained in our charter, which may limit your ability to convert the series C preferred stock into our common stock upon a Change of Control. These
ownership restrictions could also have anti-takeover effects and could reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt to acquire control of the company, which could adversely affect the market price of the series&nbsp;C preferred stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to pay dividends on the series C preferred stock is limited by the laws of Maryland. Under applicable Maryland law, a Maryland
corporation generally may not make a distribution if, after giving effect to the distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as the debts become due in the usual course of business, or the corporation&#146;s total assets would
be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus, unless the corporation&#146;s charter provides otherwise, the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Accordingly, we generally may not make a distribution on the series C preferred stock if, after giving effect to the distribution, we would not
be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the
holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock then outstanding, if any, with preferences senior to those of the series C preferred stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dividends on the series C preferred stock do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The maximum tax rate applicable to &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates
is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, including the dividends on our series C preferred stock, however, generally are not eligible for these reduced rates. U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of
the ordinary dividends (e.g., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years before January&nbsp;1, 2026. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to
certain dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6% assuming the stockholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income.
Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> corporations that pay dividends,
which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our series C preferred stock. </P>

applicable redemption date, which will be paid on the payment date notwithstanding prior redemption of such shares), without interest, to the extent we have funds legally available for that purpose. We may also redeem shares of series C preferred

practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot as we determine. If such redemption is to be by lot and, as a result of such redemption, any holder of shares of series C preferred stock, other than a holder of series C preferred stock that
has received an exemption from the ownership limit, would have actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of more than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of series C preferred stock by value or number of shares, whichever is more
restrictive, or violate any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock set forth in our charter, including the articles supplementary setting forth the terms of the series C preferred stock, because such holder&#146;s shares of
series C preferred stock were not redeemed, or were only redeemed in part, then, except as otherwise provided in the charter, we will redeem the requisite number of shares of series C preferred stock of such holder such that no holder will own in
excess of the 9.8% series C preferred stock ownership limit or applicable excepted holder limit or the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock subsequent to such redemption. See &#147;&#151;Restrictions on Ownership and
Transfer.&#148; In order for their shares of series C preferred stock to be redeemed, holders must surrender their shares at the place, or in accordance with the book-entry procedures, designated in the notice of redemption. Holders will then be
entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon redemption following surrender of the shares. If a notice of redemption has been given (in the case of a redemption of the series C preferred stock other than to
preserve our status as a REIT), the funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of any shares of series C preferred stock called for redemption and irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the
redemption price and all accrued and unpaid dividends, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of series C preferred stock and such shares of series C preferred stock will no longer be deemed
outstanding. At such time, all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon redemption, without interest. So long as no dividends payable on
the series C preferred stock and any class or series of parity preferred stock are in arrears for any past dividend periods and subject to the provisions of applicable law and the sufficiency of legally available funds, we may from time to time
repurchase all or any part of the series C preferred stock, including the repurchase of shares of series C preferred stock in open-market transactions and individual purchases at such prices as we negotiate, in each case as duly authorized by our
board of directors. Regardless of whether dividends are paid in full on the series C preferred stock or any class or series of parity </P>

prior to commencement of any trading on the NYSE, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making activities, if commenced, at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market on the
NYSE for the series C preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Price Stabilization, Short Positions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Until the distribution of the shares is completed, Securities and Exchange Commission rules may limit underwriters and selling group members
from bidding for and purchasing our series C preferred stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that have the effect of stabilizing the price of the series C preferred stock, such as bids or purchases and other activities that
fix to peg, fix or maintain that price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our series C preferred
stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares
than they are required to purchase in the offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; over-allotment option described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position
by either exercising their over-allotment option to or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares
available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out
any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our series C preferred stock in the open
market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of series C preferred stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the
completion of the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters&#146; purchases to cover the syndicate short sales
and other activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our series C preferred stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our series C preferred stock. As a result, the price of our series C
preferred stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor any
of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our series C preferred stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters
make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P>

commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. For instance, affiliates of BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan
Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Goldman Sachs &amp; Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Regions Securities LLC (underwriters in this offering)
are lenders under our revolving credit facility. As described above under &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; our operating partnership may use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit

the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the
accounts of their customers. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters
and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the series C preferred stock
offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the series C preferred stock offered hereby. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The

(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. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to
these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus 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 or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the
applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing prospectuses), together with the additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </P>

you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We and the selling securityholders will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume 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. </P>

charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or, subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of the Company&#146;s stock, the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company has the authority

or the Code, the Company&#146;s stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made) or 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 used exclusively for
charitable purposes, but generally does not include a qualified pension plan or profit sharing trust) at any time during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of the Company&#146;s common 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, excluding any shares of common stock 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 transfer of the Company&#146;s stock discussed below is referred to as a &#147;prohibited owner.&#148; </P>

individuals and/or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of the Company&#146;s common stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or
constructively, the Company&#146;s common 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, and thereby violate the applicable ownership limit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s

Section&nbsp;856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, then the number of

no rights in shares of the Company&#146;s stock held by the trustee. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in the transfer to
the trust. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited owner, prior to the Company&#146;s discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be repaid to the trustee upon demand. If the

the transfer or other event that resulted in the transfer to the trust (<I>e.g.</I>, a gift, devise or other such transaction), the last sale price reported on the NYSE on the day of the transfer or other event that resulted in the transfer of such

prohibited owner to the trustee. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the prohibited owner will be immediately paid to the charitable beneficiary, together with any dividends or other distributions thereon. In addition, if,
prior to discovery by the Company that shares of its stock have been transferred to the trustee, such shares of stock are sold by a prohibited owner, then such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and, to the extent that

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of nominations and other
proposals is to afford the Company&#146;s board of directors the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the advisability of the other proposals and, to the extent considered necessary by the Company&#146;s board of
directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations regarding the nominations or other proposals. The advance notice procedures also permit a more orderly procedure for conducting stockholder meetings. Although the Company&#146;s bylaws do
not give the Company&#146;s board of directors the power to disapprove timely stockholder nominations and proposals, the Company&#146;s bylaws may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or proposals for other action if
the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors to the Company&#146;s board of directors or to approve its own proposal. </P>

election to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 generally vesting in the Company&#146;s board of directors the exclusive power to fill vacancies on the Company&#146;s board of directors and the advance notice provisions of the Company&#146;s
bylaws could 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 believe to be in their best
interests. Likewise, if the Company&#146;s board of directors were to elect to be subject to the business combination provisions of the MGCL or the provision of Subtitle 8 providing for a classified board or if the provision in the Company&#146;s
bylaws opting out of the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL were amended or rescinded, these provisions of the MGCL could have similar anti-takeover effects. </P>

as expressed in private letter rulings that are not binding on the IRS except with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings. The sections of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations that relate to
qualification and taxation as a REIT are highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth certain material aspects of the sections of the Code that govern the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders. This
summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof. Potential tax reforms may result in significant changes to the rules
governing U.S. federal income taxation. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations and practices and/or court decisions may significantly and adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of such qualification, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our capital stock or our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities, including those described in this discussion. Moreover, the law relating to
the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT. Any such changes could apply retroactively to transactions
preceding the date of the change. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, any rulings from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this prospectus&nbsp;are not binding on the IRS or any court. Thus, we can provide no
assurance that the tax considerations contained in this discussion will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. This summary does not discuss any state, local
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">or&nbsp;non-U.S.&nbsp;tax</FONT> consequences, or any tax consequences arising under any U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws, associated with the purchase, ownership or disposition of our

taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. We believe that we have been organized and have operated in a manner that has allowed us to qualify for taxation as a REIT
under the Code commencing with such taxable year, and we intend to continue to be organized and operate in this manner. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the
Code, including through actual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we have been organized and have operated, or will continue to be organized and
operate, in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify&#148; for potential tax consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT. </P>

Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP has rendered an opinion to us, as of the date of this prospectus, 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 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 operations for any
particular taxable year have satisfied or will satisfy those requirements. Further, the anticipated U.S. 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. </P>

itself would satisfy the 75% income test if it were a REIT, any loan to an individual or an estate, any obligation to pay rents from real property and any security issued by a REIT. In addition, solely for purposes of the 10% value test, the
determination of our interest in the assets of a partnership in which we own an interest will be based on our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership, excluding for this purpose certain securities described in the Code.
From time to time we may own securities (including debt securities) of issuers that do not qualify as a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a taxable REIT subsidiary. We intend that our ownership of any such securities will be structured in a

our ownership of securities of such issuer (including as a result of an increase in our interest in any partnership that owns such securities). For example, our indirect ownership of securities of each issuer will increase as a result of our capital
contributions to our operating partnership or as limited partners exercise any redemption/exchange rights. Also, after initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the
asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to satisfy an asset test because we acquire securities or other property during a quarter (including as a result of an increase in our interest in any

declaration, provided such payment is made during <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;12-month&nbsp;period</FONT> following the close of such year. These distributions are treated as received by our stockholders in the year in which they are

distributed must not be preferential&#151;<I>i.e.</I>, every stockholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other stockholder of that class, and no class of stock may be treated other than

We believe that we have made, and we intend to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these annual distribution requirements and to minimize our corporate tax obligations. In this regard, the partnership agreement of our
operating partnership authorizes us, as its general partner, to take such steps as may be necessary to cause our operating partnership to distribute to its partners an amount sufficient to permit us to meet these distribution requirements and to
minimize our corporate tax obligation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that our REIT taxable income will be less than our cash flow because of depreciation and

requirements described above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible
expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in determining 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. If these timing differences
occur, we may borrow funds to pay dividends or pay dividends in the form of taxable stock distributions in order to meet the distribution requirements, while preserving our cash. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under some circumstances, we may be able to rectify an inadvertent failure to meet the 90% distribution requirement for a year by paying
&#147;deficiency dividends&#148; to our stockholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In that case, 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 upon the amount of any deduction claimed for deficiency dividends. While the payment of a deficiency dividend will apply to a prior year for
purposes of our REIT distribution requirements, it will be treated as an additional distribution to our stockholders in the year such dividend is paid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, if a dividend a Subsidiary REIT has paid is treated as a preferential dividend, in lieu of treating the dividend as not counting
toward satisfying the 90% distribution requirement, the IRS may provide a remedy to cure such failure if the IRS determines that such failure is (or is of a type that is) inadvertent or due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, we will be required to pay a 4% excise tax to the extent we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of 85%

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From time to time, we or our operating partnership may acquire other corporations or entities and, in connection with such acquisitions, we may
succeed to the historical tax attributes and liabilities of such entities. For example, if we acquire a C corporation and subsequently dispose of its assets within five years of the acquisition, we could be required to pay the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> gain tax described above under &#147;&#151;General.&#148; In addition, in order to qualify as a REIT, at the end of any taxable year, we must not have any earnings and profits accumulated in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> year. As a result, if we acquire a C corporation, we must distribute the corporation&#146;s earnings and profits accumulated prior to the acquisition before the end of the taxable year in which we acquire
the corporation. We also could be required to pay the acquired entity&#146;s unpaid taxes even though such liabilities arose prior to the time we acquired the entity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moreover, we may from time to time acquire other REITs through a merger or acquisition. If any such REIT failed to qualify as a REIT for any
of its taxable years, such REIT would be liable for (and we, as the surviving corporation in the merger or acquisition, would be obligated to pay) regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on its taxable income for such taxable years. In addition,
if such REIT was a C corporation at the time of the merger or acquisition, the tax consequences described in the preceding paragraph generally would apply. If such REIT failed to qualify as a REIT for any of its taxable years, but qualified as a
REIT at the time of such merger or acquisition, and we acquired such REIT&#146;s assets in a transaction in which our tax basis in the assets of such REIT is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to such REIT&#146;s tax basis in such assets,
we generally would be subject to tax on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;built-in&nbsp;gain</FONT> on each asset of such REIT as described above if we were to dispose of the asset in a taxable transaction during the five-year period
following such REIT&#146;s requalification as a REIT, subject to certain exceptions. Moreover, even if such REIT qualified as a REIT at all relevant times, we would similarly be liable for other unpaid taxes (if any) of such REIT (such as the 100%
tax on gains from any sales treated as &#147;prohibited transactions&#148; as described above under &#147;&#151;Income Tests&#151;Prohibited Transaction Income&#148;). </P>

assets we acquire from such corporation or entity, and to all of our income, including the income derived from the assets we acquire from such corporation or entity. As a result, the nature of the assets that we acquire from such corporation or
entity and the income we derive from those assets may have an effect on our tax status as a REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Failure to Qualify </I></B></P>

pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax for taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2018, on our taxable income. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as
a REIT will not be deductible by us. 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, we will not be required
to distribute any amounts to our stockholders and 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 stockholders may be

qualify as a REIT, such stockholders may not claim this deduction with respect to dividends paid by us. 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 our qualification. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to this statutory relief. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General.</I>&nbsp;All of our investments are held indirectly through our operating partnership. In addition, our operating partnership holds
certain of its investments indirectly through subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies that we believe have been and will continue to be treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general,
entities that are treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes are &#147;pass-through&#148; entities which are not required to pay U.S. federal income tax. Rather, partners of such partnerships are allocated
their shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the partnership, and are potentially required to pay tax on this income, without regard to whether they receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our
income our share of these partnership 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 partnership, including its share of the assets of its subsidiary partnerships, based on our capital interests in each such entity. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our Company&#151;General&#151;Ownership of Interests
in Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries.&#148; A disregarded entity is not treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit of a disregarded entity are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of its parent that is not a disregarded entity (e.g., our operating partnership) for all purposes under the Code, including
all REIT qualification tests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Entity</I><I>&nbsp;Classification.</I>&nbsp;Our interests in our operating partnership and the
subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies involve special tax considerations, including the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status of these entities as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. For example, an entity that would otherwise be treated as a partnership for U.S. 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 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 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;Asset Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;Income Tests.&#148; This, in turn, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify&#148; for a discussion of the effect of our

expect to contribute the net proceeds from such issuance to the operating partnership in exchange for a new class of preferred units, which will be entitled to allocations of net income in accordance with their terms. Any remaining net income will
be allocated to holders of common units, subject to certain special allocations with respect to LTIP units and performance units. Allocations to holders of common units will generally be made proportionately to all such holders in respect of such
units. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an allocation of partnership income or loss does not comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;704(b) of the Code and the

the contributing partner is charged with the unrealized gain or benefits from the unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss generally is equal to the difference
between the fair market value or book value and the adjusted tax basis of the contributed property at the time of contribution (this difference is referred to as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;book-tax&nbsp;difference),</FONT> as adjusted

with respect to these properties be made in a manner consistent with Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code. Treasury Regulations issued under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code provide partnerships with a choice of several methods of accounting <FONT

on the distribution may exceed the amount of the distribution received in cash, in which case such U.S. holder would have to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If a U.S. holder sells the capital stock it received in connection with a taxable
stock distribution 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 distribution, such U.S. holder could have a capital loss with respect to
the stock sale that could not be used to offset such income. A U.S. holder that receives capital stock pursuant to such 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. </P>

taxable year, including dividends paid the following year that are treated as paid in the current year. U.S. holders that are corporations may, however, be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. If we
properly designate any portion of a dividend as a capital gain dividend, then, except as otherwise required by law, we presently intend to allocate a portion of the total capital gain dividends paid or made available to holders of all classes of our

partnership&#146;s debt securities. This discussion assumes the debt securities will be issued with less than a statutory de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, this discussion is limited to
persons purchasing the debt securities for cash at original issue and at their original &#147;issue price&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities is sold
to the public for cash). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>U.S. Holders </I></P>

fair market value (less amounts attributable to any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest to the extent not previously included in income) and the U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. A U.S.
holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a debt security generally will be equal to the amount the U.S. holder paid for the debt security. Any gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S.

proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our capital stock or the operating partnership&#146;s debt securities, in each case paid to a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; or <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;&#147;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT> entity&#148; (each as defined in the Code), unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2)&nbsp;the&nbsp;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT> entity either certifies it does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each
substantial United States owner, or (3)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">or&nbsp;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT> entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign
financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts
held by certain &#147;specified United States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">to&nbsp;non-compliant&nbsp;foreign</FONT> financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States
governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding
under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our capital stock or interest on the operating partnership&#146;s debt securities. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other
disposition of stock or debt securities on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until
final Treasury Regulations are issued. Because we may not know the extent to which a distribution is a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time it is made, for purposes of these withholding rules we may treat the entire distribution
as a dividend. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to
their investment in our capital stock or the operating partnership&#146;s debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Other Tax Consequences </B></P>

of securities 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. </P>

in respect of the securities may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is

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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption proceeds,
distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon
DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their
names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those
