holder does not have discretionary voting power and has not received voting instructions
from the beneficial owner. <B>Each outstanding share entitles the holder to one vote on all

The SEC has requested the Company disclose the reasons for the proposal to allow the use of
additional investment structures and the removal of the eighteen month restriction. The Company has
clarified the reasons for the proposal in the language identified in bold below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><U><B>Background of Proposal</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><STRIKE>Since the inception of the Company, the number of investment structures currently in use and
available to REITs has grown tremendously. As such, the Board believes that adding the additional
as vehicles for real property ownership , while removing the eighteen month restriction, allows the
Company greater flexibility and the ability to compete with other REITs that currently invest in
these types of structures. Therefore the Board recommends the Shareholders approve this change.</STRIKE>
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>This restriction is not required by any applicable law or governmental regulation. The Company
placed this restriction on equity investments, including the 18&nbsp;month restriction, in the Bylaws
upon the initial private placement offering in response to the concerns of certain members of our
selling group that the Company might invest in equity securities of other real estate programs
instead of investing directly in real estate. REIT investment structures have since changed and
greatly expanded as a result of federal income tax law changes and industry practices. As a
result, the Board believes that this restriction is no longer necessary or in the best interest of
our shareholders. The Board further believes that providing for specified equity investments and
the deletion of the 18&nbsp;month restriction will allow our Company greater flexibility and enable it
to better compete with other REITs which take advantage of these types of investment structures.
The Board recommends the Shareholders approve this change.</B>
