1. Organization, Basis of Presentation, Properties and Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

Organization

Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company") was formed as a Massachusetts
limited partnership (the "Partnership") on February 4, 1997. Through June 30,
2001 the Partnership owned a 99% interest in FSP Investments LLC ("FSP
Investments") and a 99% interest in FSP Property Management LLC ("FSP Property
Management"). Effective July 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership purchased the remaining 1% ownership interest in FSP Investments and
1% ownership interest in FSP Property Management for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $32,000.

In December 2001, the limited partners of the Partnership approved the
conversion of the Partnership from a partnership into a corporation. In 2002 the
Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The
conversion was effective January 1, 2002, and was accomplished as a tax-free
reorganization by merging the Partnership with and into a wholly owned
subsidiary, Franklin Street Properties Corp., with the subsidiary as the
surviving entity.

As a part of the conversion, all of the Partnership's outstanding units were
converted on a one-for-one basis into 24,586,249 shares of common stock of the
Company. The conversion is being accounted for as a reorganization of affiliated
entities, with assets and liabilities recorded at their historical costs.

The Company operates in two business segments: rental operations and investment
services. FSP Investments provides real estate investment and broker/dealer
services. FSP Investments' services include: (i) the organization of REITs (the
"Sponsored REITs") which are syndicated through private placements; (ii) the
acquisition of real estate on behalf of the Sponsored REITs; and (iii) the sale
through best efforts of private placements of preferred stock in Sponsored
REITs.

Properties

As of March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001 the Company owned a
portfolio of four residential real estate properties (consisting of
approximately 642 apartment units) and 13 commercial properties (consisting of
approximately 1,433,300 square feet of rentable space).

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been
included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the
full fiscal year.

Certain prior-year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the
current-year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement requires that
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized
in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of the fair value
can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of
the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This Statement will be effective at
the beginning of

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

2003. The Company has reviewed the provisions of SFAS 143 and believes that the
impact of adoption will not be material to its financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 and
requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured
at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell. SFAS No. 144
retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for (a) recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, and (b)
measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, but broadens the
definition of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how the results of a
discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. This Statement was
effective at the beginning of 2002. With the exception of reclassifying the
operations of certain real estate assets considered "held for sale" (and for
which no significant continuing involvement exists) to "Discontinued operations,
net of tax" in the consolidated statement of income, the impact of adoption is
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position and
cash flows. The Company does not have any real estate assets that it considers
"held for sale" at March 31, 2002.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44, and
64, Amendment of FAS 13, and Technical Corrections". This Statement rescinds
FASB No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an
amendment of that Statement, FASB No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to
Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements". This Statement amends FASB No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases". This Statement also amends other existing authoritative
pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings or
describe their applicability under changed conditions. This statement will be
effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The Company
has reviewed the provisions of FASB 145 and believes that the impact of adoption
will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash
flow.

2. Investment Service Activity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, a Sponsored REIT acquired an office
building in Chesterfield, Missouri. The Company sold on a best efforts basis
through a private placement approximately $25 million in preferred stock in the
Sponsored REIT. The Company recorded approximately $1,758,000 and $1,454,000 of
Syndication fee and Transaction fee revenues, respectively, as a result of this
transaction.

3. Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-consolidated Entities

The Company typically retains a non-controlling common stock ownership interest
in Sponsored REITs that it has organized. These ownership interests have
virtually no economic benefit or risk. At March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001, and
March 31, 2001 the Company had ownership interests in eleven, ten and five
Sponsored REITs, respectively. During 1999 and 2000, the Company acquired 100%
of the non-owned interests of 17 limited partnerships (through a series of
mergers) that it had previously organized. Neither the Company nor any other
related entity has an obligation to acquire the non-owned interests in any
previously syndicated Sponsored REIT.

Summarized financial information for the Sponsored REITs is as follows:

The Company provided syndication and real estate acquisition advisory services
for the Sponsored REITs in 2002 and 2001. Syndication fees were approximately
$1,758,000 and $2,951,000, and transaction fees were approximately $1,454,000
and $2,802,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and 2001,
respectively.

Management fee income charged to the Sponsored REITs amounted to approximately
$59,000 and $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and is included in "Interest and other income" in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and
the applicable contracts are cancelable with 30 days' notice.

There were no dividends received or income recognized from the Sponsored REITs
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 or 2001.

4. Net Income Per Share/Partnership Unit

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for the Company's net
income per share/ unit. Basic net income per share/unit is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of Company shares/units outstanding
during the period. Diluted net income per share/unit reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares/units
were exercised or converted into shares/units. There were no potential dilutive
shares/units outstanding at March 31, 2002 and 2001.

The denominator used for calculating basic and diluted net income per share/unit
is as follows:

                                                                 For the

5. Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: rental operations and investment
services (including real estate acquisition, financing and broker/dealer
services). The Company has identified these segments because this discrete
information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding
resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as those described in the "Significant
Accounting Policies" set forth in Note 2 to the Company's audited financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001. The Company's segments are located in the United States
of America.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on Cash
Available for Distribution ("CAD") as management believes that CAD represents
the most accurate measure of the reportable segment's activity and is the basis
for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines CAD as: net income
as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP"); plus certain non-cash items included in the
computation of net income (depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash
compensation expenses and straight line rent adjustments); plus Investment
services proceeds received from controlled partnerships; plus the net proceeds
from the sale of land; less purchases of property and equipment from operating
cash. Purchases of real estate assets from cash reserves established at the
acquisition date of the property are not reflected in the computation of CAD.
CAD should not be considered an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company's financial performance,
cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor
as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of
sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate
companies may define CAD in a different manner.

Cash Distributions

The Company declared and paid aggregate dividends of $0.31 per common share (for
a total of $7,622,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2002.

6. Income Taxes.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code"), as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a
tax deduction for dividends paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively
subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the
shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions
to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income
it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can
have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company's
income that must be distributed annually.

One such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than 10% of
the voting power or value of the securities of any one issuer unless the issuer
is itself a REIT or a "taxable REIT subsidiary" ("TRS"). In the case of TRSs,
the Company's ownership of securities in all TRSs generally cannot exceed 20% of
the value of all of the Company's assets and, when considered together with
other non-real estate assets, cannot exceed 25% of the value of all of the
Company's assets. Effective January 1, 2001, a subsidiary of the Company has
elected to be treated as a TRS. As a result, it will be required to pay taxes on
its net income like any other taxable corporation. For the three months ended
March 31, 2002 the TRS incurred a loss for both financial statement and income
tax purposes and no tax provision or benefit is reflected in the financial
statements.

Prior to the REIT conversion on January 1, 2002, no provision or benefit was
made for Federal or state income taxes in the consolidated financial statements
of the Partnership. Partners were required to report on their individual tax
returns their allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits
of the Partnership.

7. Subsequent Event

The Company declared a dividend of $0.31 per share on May 3, 2002 to
shareholders of record as of May 3, 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations contained in the financial statements, including trends
which might appear, should not be taken as necessarily indicative of future
operations. This discussion may also contain forward-looking statements based on
current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to
certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that the Company's
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without
limitation, changes in economic conditions in the markets in which the Company
owns properties, changes in the demand by investors for investment in Sponsored
REITS, the impact of the events of September 11, 2001, risks of a lessening of
demand for the types of real estate owned by the Company, changes in government
regulations, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate
and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance
increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. See "Risk Factors" in
Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. We will not update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date this quarterly report is filed to
conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur
after such date, other than as required by law.

Historically, real estate has been subject to a wide range of cyclical economic
conditions, which affect various real estate sectors and geographic regions with
differing intensities at different times. In 2001 and early 2002, many regions
of the United States experienced varying degrees of economic recession; and the
tragic events of September 11, 2001 may have accelerated certain trends, such as
the cost of obtaining sufficient property and liability insurance coverage and
short-term interest rates. The Company believes, however, that these tragic
events should not have a material effect on the Company's portfolio or financial
performance, given the Company's property types and the geographic regions in
which the Company is located. The Company will continue to review its business
strategy but does not anticipate any changes in strategy.

The following table summarizes property wholly owned by the Company as of the
dates indicated:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2002 to the three months ended
March 31, 2001

Revenue

Total revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 22%, to $10.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $12.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

Syndication fees and Transaction fees for the three months ended March 31, 2002
decreased $1.2 million, or 40%, and $1.3 million, or 47%, respectively, compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is attributable to the
syndication of one Sponsored REIT (with aggregate gross proceeds of $25 million)
in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the syndication of two Sponsored REITs
(with aggregate gross proceeds of $46 million) in the first quarter of 2001.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)

Revenue (continued)

The Company's investment services business is made up of two main components:
(1) the acquisition on behalf of Sponsored REITs of real estate investment
properties; and (2) the sale on a best efforts basis of preferred stock in
Sponsored REITs to accredited investors/institutions. Both sides of this
business struggled in the first quarter of 2002. On the acquisition front, many
potential sellers of quality properties took advantage of very low interest rate
carrying costs, combined with an improving general economy, to hold asking
prices very high. On the investment sales front, a volatile stock market,
uncertainty over corporate profit recovery, uncertainty over whether accounting
presentations are giving a clear picture of corporate value, and April 15 tax
bills all combined to slow investment sales. For the quarter, only one
investment property was purchased and syndicated. That property was the third
and final building in the Timberlake Corporate Center complex located in
Chesterfield (metropolitan St. Louis), Missouri. The Company had syndicated
preferred stock in the Sponsored REIT that owns the first two office buildings
in the complex in 2001.

Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased
$0.4 million, or 65%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001 due to
reduced interest earned on lower cash balances in the first quarter of 2002
compared to the first quarter of 2001 and lower average interest rates in the
first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001.

Expenses

Total expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 13%, to $5.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $6.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

The decrease in commission expense of $0.6 million, or 43%, compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 is attributable to the decrease in syndication
proceeds of approximately $21 million in the first quarter of 2002 as described
above.

Real estate taxes and insurance expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2002 were consistent with the prior period. However, these expenses are expected
to increase starting in the second quarter of 2002 as current insurance policies
expire and are renewed at substantially higher rates.

Interest expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 68%, compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 2001, primarily as a result of lower interest rates and the
decrease in syndication activity during the first quarter of 2002 as described
above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $19.8 million and $24.4 million at March 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001, respectively. This 19% decrease of $4.6 million is
attributable to $3.6 million provided by operating activities, offset by $0.5
million used for investing activities, and $7.6 million used for financing
activities.

Operating Activities

The Company's cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million is primarily
attributable to:

o     $5.2 million from operations, after addback of $1.1 million from non-cash
      expenses, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization;

o     $1.7 million used to pay accrued expenses, and

o     $0.1 million provided from the net change in other operating assets and
      liabilities.

Investing Activities

The Company's cash used for investing activities of $0.5 million is attributable
to the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

The Company's cash used for financing activities of $7.6 million is attributable
to $7.6 million of dividends paid to shareholders.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)

Sources and uses of funds

Our principal demands for liquidity are cash for operations, distributions to
equity holders, debt repayments and expense associated with indebtedness. As of
March 31, 2002 we had approximately $3.1 million in liabilities. The Company has
no permanent, long-term debt. In the near term, liquidity is generated from
funds from ongoing real estate operations and transaction fees and commissions
received in connection with the sale of shares by new Sponsored REITs.

The Company maintains an unsecured line of credit through Citizens Bank. The
Company has entered into a Master Promissory Note and Loan Agreement which
provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $50 million. Borrowings under
the loan bear interest at either the bank's base rate or a variable LIBOR rate.
The Company typically uses the unsecured line of credit to provide each
newly-formed Sponsored REIT with the funds to purchase a property. The Company's
loan agreement with the bank includes customary restrictions on property liens
and requires compliance with various financial covenants. Financial covenants
include maintaining minimum cash balances in operating accounts, tangible net
worth of at least $140 million and compliance with other various debt and income
ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2002.
The Company had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of March
31, 2002.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in
the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

Related Party Transactions

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company organized one Sponsored REIT and
retained a non-controlling common stock interest in that Sponsored REIT with
virtually no economic benefit. Except for the Sponsored REIT described above and
the Merger described in Part II, Item 2 of this quarterly report, the Company
did not enter into any transactions with related parties during the quarter
ended December 31, 2002. For a discussion of transactions between the Company
and related parties during 2001, see "Related Party Transactions" under Item 7 -
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

Economic Conditions

The Company's real properties generate rental income to cover the ordinary,
annual operating expenses of the properties. For the three months ended March
31, 2002, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each of the Company's real
properties. In addition to rental income, the Company maintains cash reserves
that may be used to fund unusual expenses or major capital improvements. The
cash reserves included in cash and cash equivalents, which as of March 31, 2002
were approximately $4.0 million, are in excess of the known needs for
extraordinary expenses or capital improvements for the real properties within
the next few years. There are no external restrictions on these reserves, and
they may be used for any Company purpose.

Although there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the funds
necessary for our future growth, we anticipate generating funds from continuing
real estate operations and from fees and commissions from the sale of shares in
newly-formed Sponsored REITs. The Company believes that it has adequate funds to
cover unusual expenses and capital improvements, in addition to normal operating
expenses. The Company's ability to maintain or increase its level of
distributions to stockholders, however, depends upon the level of interest on
the part of investors in purchasing shares of Sponsored REITs and the level of
rental income from the Company's real properties.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments at or during
the year ended December 31, 2001 or during the three months ended March 31,
2002.

The Company borrows from time to time upon its line of credit. These borrowings
bear interest at a variable rate. The Company uses the funds it draws on its
line of credit for the purpose of making interim mortgage loans to Sponsored
REITs. These mortgage loans bear interest at the same variable rate payable by
the Company under its line of credit. Therefore, the Company believes that it
has mitigated its interest rate risk with respect to its borrowings.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings:
         Not applicable.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds:

      On January 1, 2002, Franklin Street Partners Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company, which was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership prior to the Merger, with the Company
being the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the Merger, the Partnership ceased
to exist, and each unit of both general and limited partnership interest in the
Partnership was converted into one share of common stock, $.0001 par value per
share (the "Common Stock") of the Company. Accordingly, the pro rata ownership
interests in the Company immediately following the Merger were the same as those
in the Partnership immediately preceding the Merger. The Merger was approved by
at least a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests pursuant to
a consent solicitation.

      On January 7, 2002, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K as a
successor issuer as required by paragraph (f) of Rule 12g-3 promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Upon the
effective time of the Merger on January 1, 2002, the Common Stock was deemed
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

      Prior to the Merger, the constituent instrument defining the rights of the
Partnership's limited partners was the Partnership's partnership agreement. As a
result of Merger, the constituent instruments defining the rights of the
Company's stockholders are the Company's Articles of Organization and By-laws.
For a comparison of the rights of limited partners and stockholders, please
refer to the section titled "Comparison of Rights of Limited Partners and
Stockholders; Certain Provisions of Maryland Law" on pages 38 to 45 of the
Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed on December 18,
2001, which pages are incorporated herein by reference and filed with this
report as Exhibit 99.1.

      On January 2, 2002, in connection with the Merger, the Company issued an
aggregate of 24,586,249 shares of Common Stock to the general partner and the
limited partners of the Partnership in exchange for all outstanding partnership
interests of the Partnership. The shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger
were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") by reason of the exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof and in Rule
506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. To qualify for the exemption under
Rule 506, the Company issued Common Stock only to limited partners who it
reasonably believed were accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D, and to no more than 35 limited partners who were not
accredited investors.

                    COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS
              AND STOCKHOLDERS; CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW

General

      The Partnership is organized as a Massachusetts limited partnership, and
the REIT is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.
As a Massachusetts limited partnership, the Partnership is subject to the
Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "MULPA"). As a Maryland
corporation, the REIT is subject to the MGCL.

      The discussion of the comparative rights of the Limited Partners of the
Partnership and stockholders of the REIT sets forth the material differences
between such comparative rights. This discussion does not purport to include
non-material differences and, to the extent of non-material differences, is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the MULPA and the MGCL
and also to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, as
amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment thereto (collectively,
the "Partnership Agreement"), the Articles and the Bylaws of the REIT. Copies of
the Articles and Bylaws are attached hereto as Appendices B and C, respectively.

      The REIT has been organized under the MGCL pursuant to Articles filed on
October 9, 2001.

Management

      The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner has exclusive
discretion to manage and control the business of the Partnership. A general
partner may be removed, with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of a
majority in interest of the general partners of record. Currently, however, FSP
General Partner LLC is the only general partner. The Limited Partners have no
right to elect or to remove any general partner.

      Pursuant to the MGCL, the business and affairs of a corporation are
managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. The MGCL further
provides that the board of directors may be divided into classes. In accordance
with this authority, the Articles provide for three classes of directors. The
Articles provide that the number of directors of the REIT initially shall be
six, which number may be increased or decreased pursuant to the Bylaws of the
REIT but in no event shall be less than one, the minimum number required by the
MGCL. Under the Articles, the directors are divided in three classes, as nearly
equal in number as possible, with the term of one class expiring at each annual
meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, one class of
directors will be elected for a term of three years, and the directors in the
other two classes will continue in office. Under the Articles, a director may be
removed only for cause based on a material breach of his duties or obligations
to the Company, and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors. Any
vacancy (whether arising through death, retirement, resignation or removal)
other than through an increase in the number of authorized directors will be
filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. A
vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from an increase in the number of
directors will be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire
Board of Directors. A director so elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the
remainder of the term of the class to which such director was elected.

Voting Rights

      Under the Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners may affirmatively vote
by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners and with the consent of the
General Partner, to amend the Partnership Agreement, provided that, among other
things, such amendment does not allow the Limited Partners to take part in the
control of the Partnership's business or otherwise modify their limited
liability, alter the rights, powers or duties of the General Partner or the
capital contribution or interest of the General Partner, or alter any Limited
Partner's share of profits,losses or distributions. Under the MULPA, the
affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners is required
for the merger of the Partnership.

      Subject to any preferential rights that may be granted to one or more
classes of Preferred Stock, the Articles provide each holder of Common Stock has
one vote in respect of each share of Common Stock held of record on all matters
to be voted upon by the stockholders. Generally, matters submitted o the
stockholders require the affirmative vote of stockholders holding a majority of
the then outstanding capital stock present in person or by proxy entitled to
vote thereon at a duly convened meeting of stockholders. Certain amendments to
the Articles require the approval of a specified super-majority (80%) of the
shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote on the matter. See "Amendments to the Partnership Agreement and the
Articles of Incorporation."
<PAGE>

      The Bylaws of the REIT require notice of at least 90 days and not more
than 120 days before the anniversary of the mailing date of the notice of the
preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders in order for a stockholder (a)
to nominate a director or (b) to propose other business. The Bylaws contain a
similar notice requirement in connection with the nomination of directors at a
special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing one or more
directors. Accordingly, failure to act in compliance with the notice provisions
will make stockholders unable to nominate directors or propose new business.

Special Meetings

      Meetings of the Limited Partners for the purpose of acting upon any matter
upon which the Limited Partners are entitled to vote may be called by the
General Partner at any time and shall be called by the General Partner no more
than 15 days after receipt of a written request signed by Limited Partners
owning at least 25% of the outstanding units.

      Under the REIT's Bylaws, the President, Chief Executive Officer or a
majority of the Board of Directors may call special meetings of stockholders.
Special meetings of stockholders may also be called by the Secretary upon the
written request of stockholders who are entitled to cast more than 50% of all
the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Such request must state the
purpose or purposes of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at
such meeting.

Amendment to the Partnership Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation and the
Bylaws

      The Partnership Agreement provides that it may be amended by the General
Partner, without the consent or approval of the Limited Partner, to: (i) add to
the duties or obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power
of the General Partner; (ii) cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in
the any other provision of the Partnership Agreement; or (iii) take any action
it deems necessary in its sole discretion to establish a public market for the
Units. In addition, the General Partner may amend the Partnership Agreement
without the consent of the Limited Partners if it is advised by its legal
counsel that the allocations of profits and losses are unlikely to be respected
for federal income tax purposes. Finally, the General Partner may, without the
consent or approval of the Limited Partners, amend the Partnership Agreement
from time to time, including amending and restating it, in any manner as it, in
its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in connection with
establishing, or taking steps to establish, a public market for the Units;
provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) increase the amount of capital
contributions required to be made by any Limited Partner, (ii) increase the
liability for any Limited Partner or (iii) affect the method of allocation of
cash distributions among Limited Partners. The Limited Partners also have rights
to amend the Partnership Agreement with the consent of the General Partner. See
"--Voting Rights."

      The Board of Directors of the REIT has the right to amend the Articles,
without any vote or consent of the stockholders, to increase or decrease the
aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any
class that the REIT has authority to issue. Any other amendment to the Articles
requires the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the REIT and the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock
entitled to vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment (i) that would
cause the REIT not to qualify as a real estate investment trust (unless the
Board determines that such qualification is no longer in the best interest of
the Company), (ii) relating to the classification of directors, removal of
directors, limitation of liability of officers and directors or indemnification
of officers and directors, or (iii) imposing cumulative voting in the election
of directors, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of no less than 80%
of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

      The Board of Directors of the REIT has the power to adopt, alter or repeal
any provisions of the Bylaws and to make new Bylaws. The stockholders of the
REIT have no powers with respect to adoption, alterations or repeal of the
Bylaws.

Dissolution of the Partnership and the REIT and Termination of REIT Status

      Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has infinite
life, but it will be dissolved upon a date designated by the General Partner and
upon the occurrence of an event of withdrawal (as defined in the MULPA) with
respect to a general partner unless there is at least one general partner that
continues to serve as a general partner, or if there is no general partner, a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners elect, within 90 days after such
occurrence, to continue the Partnership and the Partnership business.

      The MGCL permits the voluntary dissolution of the REIT by the affirmative
vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock
at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose. Under the Articles, a
merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of the
assets must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock at a meeting of
stockholders called for that purpose.
<PAGE>

      The Articles permit the Board of Directors of the REIT to terminate the
status of the Company as a real estate investment trust under the Code at any
time if the Board of Directors concludes that it is no longer in the best
interest of the REIT to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust.

Liquidation Rights

      In the event of liquidation of the Partnership, the proceeds of such
liquidation would be applied, first, in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement and applicable law to the payment of creditors of the
Partnership in order of priority provided by law, second, to the creation of a
reserve for contingent liabilities in any amount determined by the liquidator or
the General Partner and, thereafter, any remaining proceeds (or assets in kind)
would be distributed to the Limited Partners in proportion to and satisfaction
of the positive balances in their capital accounts.

      In the event of liquidation of the REIT, the holders of the Common Stock
would be entitled to share ratably in proportion to the number of shares of
Common Stock held by them in any assets remaining after satisfaction of
obligations to creditors and any liquidation preferences on any series of
Preferred Stock that may then be outstanding.

Limitations of Liability of General Partner and Directors and Officers

      The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner shall not be
liable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or the Limited Partners for
any act or omission performed or omitted by it in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed by the General Partner to be within the scope of authority
granted by the Partnership Agreement if the General Partner shall not have been
guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or
omissions.

      The Articles contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of a
director or officer to the REIT or its stockholders for monetary damages to the
fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or
interpreted. The MGCL currently permits the liability of directors and officers
to a corporation or its stockholders for money damages to be limited, except (i)
to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication is entered adverse to
the director or officer in a proceeding based on a finding that the director's
or officer's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding
or (ii) to the extent it is proved that the director or officer actually
received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. This
provision does not limit the ability of the REIT or its stockholders to obtain
other relief, such as an injunction or rescission.

Indemnification

      The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner
including employees, agents, partners, officers and directors of the General
Partner against any cost, expense (including attorneys' fees), loss, damage,
judgment or liability reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or in
connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding provided that the
indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the interests of the Partnership.

      The Articles require the REIT to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees, agents and other persons acting on behalf of or at the request of the
REIT to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law. The MGCL
permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers and certain other
parties against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually incurred by them in connection
with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their
services to or at the request of the corporation, unless it is established that
(i) the act or omission of the indemnified party was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result
of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the indemnified party actually
received an improper personal benefit, or (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the indemnified party had reasonable cause to believe that the act
or omission was unlawful. Indemnification may be made against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
director or officer in connection with the proceeding; provided, however, that
if the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
may not be made with respect to any proceeding in which the director or officer
has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In addition, a director or
officer may not be indemnified with respect to any proceeding charging improper
personal benefit to the director or officer in which the director or officer was
adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
received. It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act is against public policy and is unenforceable pursuant to Section
14 of the Securities Act.

Derivative Actions

      Under the MULPA, a Limited Partner may bring an action in the right of the
Partnership if the General Partner has refused to bring such an action or if an
effort to cause the General Partner to bring such an action is not likely to
succeed.
<PAGE>

      Under the MGCL, a stockholder may bring an action on behalf of the REIT to
recover a judgment in its favor (a derivative action) where the directors have
improperly refused to institute the action after demand by the stockholder or
when such demand would be futile.

Transferability of Equity Interests

      Under the Partnership Agreement, until such time as the Units are listed
for trading on a national stock exchange, transferability of the Units is
limited and is subject to the written approval of the General Partner, the
granting or denying of which is in the General Partner's absolute discretion.
Any assignment must be executed by the assignor and assignee on a form
satisfactory to the General Partner and its terms must not contravene those set
forth in the Partnership Agreement. The assignee of any Unit has certain rights
of ownership but may become a substitute Limited Partner only upon meeting
certain conditions, including the execution of an agreement to be bound by the
Partnership Agreement and a power of attorney authorizing the General Partner to
act on his behalf in connection with certain affairs of the Partnership. The
Articles do not impose any restrictions on transfer other than those described
under "Description of Stock - Ownership Limits." Transfers of Units or Common
Stock would be subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. See
"Description of Stock - Unregistered Shares."

      The Partnership Agreement provides that on an annual basis the Partnership
will use its best efforts to repurchase any Units from Limited Partners desiring
to sell them. Any Limited Partner wishing to take advantage of this opportunity
must so request no later than July 1 of any year for a purchase which would be
effective the following January 1. The purchase price paid by the Partnership
will be 90% of the fair market value, as determined by the General Partner, of
the Units purchased. The Partnership may satisfy these obligations by arranging
for a purchase by a third party. The Articles of the REIT contain corresponding
provisions. See "Description of Stock - Redemption".

Inspection of Books and Records

      The Partnership Agreement provides that all partners, and their duly
authorized representatives, shall at all reasonable times have access to the
books and records kept by the General Partner.

      Under the MGCL, a stockholder has the right to inspect and copy during
normal business hours the Bylaws, minutes of the proceedings of stockholders,
the REIT's annual statement of affairs and any voting trust agreements on file
at the REIT's principal office. A stockholder or stockholders who individually
or together have been stockholders or record of at least 5% of any class of
stock for at least six months may (i) on written request, inspect and copy
during regular business hours the REIT's books of account and stock ledger, (ii)
require the REIT to produce a verified statement of affairs and (iii) require
the REIT to produce a verified list of its stockholders.

Distributions and Dividends

      Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, cash available for distribution to
partners of the Partnership is distributed, subject to the prior payment of fees
and obligations of the Partnership as they come due, pro rata to the Limited
Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by each of them.

      Dividends on the Common Stock of the Company may be paid after any
preferential dividends on the then outstanding Preferred Stock and then only if,
as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the REIT in its discretion.

Issuances of New Classes of Securities

      The Board of Directors of the REIT may authorize from time to time,
without further action by the stockholders, the issuance of shares of Preferred

Business Combinations

      Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who, after the date on which the corporation had 100
or more beneficial owners, directly or indirectly beneficially owns 10% or more
of the voting power of a corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation
who, at any time within the
<PAGE>

two-year period prior to the date in question and after the date on which the
corporation had 100 or more beneficial owners, was the beneficial owner of 10%
or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the
corporation (the "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate thereof are
prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the Interested
Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder. Thereafter any such business
combination must be recommended by the Board of Directors of such corporation
and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the votes entitled
to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (ii)
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting
shares of the corporation other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder
with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
things, the corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in
the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the
same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its shares. These
provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that
are approved or exempted by the Board of Directors of the corporation prior to
the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder.
