(a &ldquo;<B>REIT</B>&rdquo;) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &ldquo;<B>Code</B>&rdquo;); the Company qualified

a REIT and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has taken any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Company
to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code at any time.</P>
