Company or any of the Subsidiaries exists or is threatened or imminent,

otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in
or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto).
(bb) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the
businesses in which they are engaged; all policies of insurance

such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying
liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause; neither
the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance
coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings,
business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(cc) No consolidated Subsidiary is currently prohibited,
directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from
making any other distribution on such Subsidiary's capital stock or
other equity, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to
such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such
Subsidiary's property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary
of the Company, except as described in or contemplated by the
Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and except that the
Subsidiaries that are identified as "Joint Ventures" on Schedule I
require the consent of the joint venture partners listed on Schedule I
as a condition to making such payments or transfers and except that
following an event of default under the loan documents encumbering the
properties owned by a Subsidiary such Subsidiary may be prohibited from
making distributions to the Company.
9
(dd) The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all licenses,
certificates, permits and other authorizations issued by the
appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary
to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any
such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or
permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings,
business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(ee) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only
in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and
(iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the
existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences.
(ff) The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be
expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise,
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(gg) (i) The Company and the Subsidiaries are (A) in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health
and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
pollutants or contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (B) have received
and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals
required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses and (C) have not received notice of any actual or
potential liability under any environmental law, except where such
non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required
permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect in the
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or
properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto). Except as set forth in the
Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the subsidiaries has been
named as a "potentially responsible party" under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended.
10
(ii) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company
periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the
business, operations and properties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and
evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for
clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any
related constraints on operating activities and any potential
liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review,
the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated
costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business,
except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(hh) The minimum funding standard under Section 302 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder ("ERISA"), has
been satisfied by each "pension plan" (as defined in Section 3(2) of
ERISA) which has been established or maintained by the Company and/or
one or more of its subsidiaries, and the trust forming part of each
such plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the
Code is so qualified; each of the Company and its subsidiaries has
fulfilled its obligations, if any, under Section 515 of ERISA; neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries maintains or is required to
contribute to a "welfare plan" (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)
which provides retiree or other post-employment welfare benefits or
insurance coverage (other than "continuation coverage" (as defined in
Section 602 of ERISA)); each pension plan and welfare plan established
or maintained by the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is
in compliance in all material respects with the currently applicable
provisions of ERISA; and neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has incurred or could reasonably be expected to incur any
withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA, any liability under
Section 4062, 4063, or 4064 of ERISA, or any other liability under
Title IV of ERISA. The assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries do
not, and as of the Closing Date will not, constitute "plan assets"
under ERISA.

Company and any of the Company's directors or officers, in their
capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes Oxley
Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection
therewith (the "Sarbanes Oxley Act"), including Section 402 related to
loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.
11
(jj) Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to
the knowledge of the Company and the Operating Partnership, any
director, trustee, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action,
directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such
Persons of the FCPA, including, without limitation, making use of the
mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly
in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of
the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or
authorization of the giving of anything of value to any "foreign
official" (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign
political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign
political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its
subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have
conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have
instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and
which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued
compliance therewith.
"FCPA" means Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable
financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and

body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries
with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best

the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject
to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(mm) The Company and its Subsidiaries are organized and
operate in a manner so as to enable the Company to qualify as a real
estate investment trust (a "REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder as currently in

the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. pursuant to, and
in full compliance with, Conduct Rule 2710(b)(7)(C).

their supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them
by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in
which the Prospectus as being prepared, (ii) valuated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and (iii) disclosed
in the Prospectus any change in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2003 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

4. Offering by Underwriter. It is understood that the
Underwriter proposes to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth
in the Prospectus.
5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the Underwriter that:

Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time, and any
amendment thereof, to become effective. Prior to the termination of the
offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of
the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Rule
462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a
copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such
proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object.
Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Registration Statement has
become or becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the
Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will
cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to
be filed in a form approved by the Underwriter with the Commission
pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time
period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the
Underwriter of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the
Underwriter (i) when the Registration Statement, if not effective at
the Execution Time, shall have become effective, (ii) when the
Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if
required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule
462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the
Commission, (iii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the
Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been
filed or become effective, (iv) of any request by the Commission or its
staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule
462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus
or for any additional information, (v) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any
proceeding for that purpose and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use
its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the
suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon
as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs
as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall
be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the
Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective
rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Underwriter
of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to
the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or
supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance and (iii) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such
quantities as you may reasonably request.
15
(c) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Underwriter an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under
the Act.
(d) The Company will furnish to the Underwriter and counsel
for the Underwriter, without charge, signed copies of the Registration
Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a
prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as
many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any
supplement thereto as the Underwriter may reasonably request. The
Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all
documents relating to the offering.
(e) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the
qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate, will maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of
the Securities and will pay any fee of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., in connection with its review of the
offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of
process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale
of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(f) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of
the Underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise
dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or
might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by
actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash
settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company
or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the
Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation
in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in
respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or
liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other shares of Common Shares or
any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for,
Common Shares; or publicly announce an intention to effect any such
transaction, for a period of 30 days after the date of the Underwriting
Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may issue and sell
Common Shares pursuant to any employee or trustee option or long-term
incentive plan, share ownership plan or dividend purchase or
reinvestment plan of the Company in effect at the Execution Time and
the Company may issue Common Shares issuable upon the conversion or
redemption of securities or the exercise of options or warrants
outstanding at the Execution Time or the conversion or redemption of
units in the Operating Partnership outstanding at the Execution Time;
or the conversion of equity in any of the Subsidiaries identified on
Schedule I as "Joint Ventures" pursuant to and in accordance with
conversion rights in effect at the Execution Time.
16
(g) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of
the Securities as set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus.
(h) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the Act or the Exchange Act, will file
all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the
Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder within
the time periods required thereby.
(i) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and will use its best efforts to
cause the Company's trustees and officers, in their capacities as such,
to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be
expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise,
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(k) The Company will not be or become, at any time prior to
the expiration of three years after the date of the Agreement, an
"investment company," as such term is defined in the Investment Company
Act.
(l) The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet
the requirements to qualify as a "real estate investment trust" under
the Code for each of its taxable years for so long as the Board of
Trustees of the Company deems it in the best interests of the Company's
stockholders to remain so qualified.
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriter. The
obligations of the Underwriter to purchase the Underwritten Securities and the
Option Securities, as the case may be, shall be subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company and the Operating
Partnership contained herein as of the Execution Time, the Closing Date and any
settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the accuracy of the statements
of the Company and the Operating Partnership made in any certificates pursuant
to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Operating
Partnership of their respective obligations hereunder and to the following
additional conditions:
17
(a) If the Registration Statement has not become effective
prior to the Execution Time, unless the Underwriter agrees in writing
to a later time, the Registration Statement will become effective not
later than (i) 6:00 PM New York City time on the date of determination
of the public offering price, if such determination occurred at or
prior to 3:00 PM New York City time on such date or (ii) 9:30 AM on the
Business Day following the day on which the public offering price was
determined, if such determination occurred after 3:00 PM New York City
time on such date; if filing of the Prospectus, or any supplement
thereto, is required pursuant to Rule 424(b), the Prospectus, and any
such supplement, will be filed in the manner and within the time period
required by Rule 424(b); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings
for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.
(b) The Underwriter shall not have advised the Company that
the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto contains an untrue
statement of fact that in the opinion of the Underwriter or its counsel
is material or omits to state a material fact that in the opinion of
the Underwriter or its counsel is required to be stated therein or is
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue
statement of fact that in the opinion of the Underwriter or its counsel
is material or omits to state a material fact that in the opinion of
the Underwriter or its counsel is material and is required to be stated
therein or necessary, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading.
(c) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the
Underwriter their opinion dated the Closing Date and addressed to the
Underwriter to the effect set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters
involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the
States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware or the Federal laws of
the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such
opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they
believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the
Underwriter and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem
proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and
public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (b)
shall also include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.
(d) The Underwriter shall have received from Paul, Hastings,
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriter, such opinion or
opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriter, with
respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and
other related matters as the Underwriter may reasonably require, and
the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they
request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
18
(e) The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriter a
certificate of the Company, signed by the President and Chief Executive
Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of the
Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such
certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, any supplements to the Prospectus and this Agreement and
that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in
this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing
Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and
the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied
all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at
or prior to the Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for
that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened;
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has
been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business,
except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto);
(iv) each signer of such certificate has carefully
examined the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and
deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus)
and (A) believes that as of the date of such certificate, such
documents are true and correct in all material respects and do
not omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein
not untrue or misleading and (B) does not know of any event
that has occurred as a result of which it is necessary to
amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not untrue or misleading in any material
respect and there has been no document required to be filed
under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that upon such filing would be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into the Prospectus that has not
been so filed; and
(v) Since the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date,
there has not occurred any downgrading in the rating accorded
the Company or any securities of the Company by any rating
agency nor has any notice been given to the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries of (A) any intended or potential downgrading
by any rating agency in such securities, or (B) any review or
possible change by any rating agency that does not indicate a
stable, positive or improving rating accorded such securities.
19
(f) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP and
Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP ("PWC") to have furnished to the
Underwriter, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters,
dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter.
(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates
as of which information is given in the Registration Statement
(exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of
any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or
decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph
(e) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or
otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in
or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto)
the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii)
above, is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, so material and
adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the
Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the
Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(h) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have
furnished to the Underwriter such further information, certificates and
documents as the Underwriter may reasonably request.
(i) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have
been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company's debt securities
by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as
defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given
of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a
possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction
of the possible change.
(j) The Securities shall have been listed and admitted and
authorized for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and satisfactory
evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Underwriter.
(k) At the Execution Time, the Company shall have furnished to
the Underwriter a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto from each officer and trustee of the Company addressed
to the Underwriter.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not
have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the
opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall
not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and
counsel for the Underwriter, this Agreement and all obligations of the
Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing
Date by the Underwriter. Notice of such cancelation shall be given to the
Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
20
The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall
be delivered at the office of Paul, Hastings, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, counsel for
the Underwriter, at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the
Closing Date.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriter's Expenses. If the sale of the
Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriter set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied,
because of any termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof or because of any
refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a
default by the Underwriter, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter on demand
for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed
purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the
Operating Partnership jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of
either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities
as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating
Partnership will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and
the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its trustees, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity to the Underwriter, but only with reference to
written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion
in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter
may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set
forth on the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under
the heading "Underwriting," (i) the sentences related to concessions
and reallowances and (ii) the paragraph related to stabilization,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished
in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.
21
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it
from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the
extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure
results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial
rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other
than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of
the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to
represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification
is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained
by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to
appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the
reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the
use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of
interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of,
any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the
institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall
authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of
which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether
or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such
claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph
(a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Operating
Partnership, jointly and severally, and the Underwriter agree to contribute to
the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
22
(collectively "Losses") to which the Company, the Operating Partnership and the
Underwriter, may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the
one hand, and by the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the
Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall (i) the Underwriter (except
as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering
of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting
discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by the Underwriter
hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly
and severally, and the Underwriter shall contribute in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and of the
Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed
to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriter shall be
deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each
case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company and the
Operating Partnership on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other, the
intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company
and the Operating Partnership and the Underwriter agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 8, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of
either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and
agent of the Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of
either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have
signed the Registration Statement and each trustee of the Company shall have the
same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination
in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company
prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to
such time (i) trading in the Company's Common Shares shall have been suspended
by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or
minimum prices shall have been established on the New York Stock Exchange, (ii)
a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York
State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation
of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war,
or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as
to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable
to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by
the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
23
10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective

standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, including with the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Company has the full
trust power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the nature of its
properties or the conduct of its business as described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus requires such registration or qualification, except
where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
condition (financial or otherwise), business, prospects, properties or earnings
of the Company.
2. Each of the Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited liability
company, limited partnership or general partnership duly incorporated or formed,
as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing, as the case may be,

corporate, limited liability company, or partnership power and authority, as the
case may be, to own, lease, and operate its properties and to conduct its
business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and is
duly registered and qualified to conduct its business in each jurisdiction or
place where the nature of its properties or the conduct of its business as

4. The Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued

5. To our knowledge after due inquiry, except as set forth on Schedule
I to the Officer's Certificate, there are no outstanding options, warrants or
other rights to purchase, calling for the issuance of, or any commitment, plan
or arrangement to issue, any shares of beneficial interest of the Company or any
security or other right or obligation convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of beneficial interest of the Company. There is no holder
of any security of the Company or any other person who has the statutory right
or, to our knowledge after due inquiry, the contractual or other right, to cause
the Company to sell or otherwise issue to him, or to permit him to underwrite
the sale of, the Shares or the right to have any Common Shares or other
securities of the Company included in the Registration Statement or the right,
as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement or sale of the Shares as
provided in the Agreement, to require registration under the Act of any Common
Shares or other securities of the Company.
6. All of the outstanding units of limited and general partnership
interests of the Operating Partnership (the "Units"), and the partnership and
membership interests in each of the other Subsidiaries that is a partnership or
limited liability company, as the case may be, were created under the agreements
forming the Operating Partnership and such other Subsidiaries, as the case may
be, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the
Subsidiaries that is a corporation have been duly authorized and validly issued,
and are fully paid and nonassessable. To our knowledge after due inquiry, except
as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) or Schedule II to the Officer's Certificate, all such
Units, partnership interests and shares of capital stock are owned by the
Company directly, or indirectly through one of the Subsidiaries, free and clear
of any security interest, lien, adverse claim, equity or other encumbrance, and,
to our knowledge after due inquiry, the Company's ownership interest in the
Operating Partnership, and the Company's and the Operating Partnership's
respective ownership interest in each of the Subsidiaries, is as set forth on
Schedule II attached hereto (without giving effect to the issuance of the
Shares). Except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), there are no outstanding options,
warrants or other rights to purchase, calling for the issuance of, or any
commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any equity interests in any
Subsidiary, or any security or other right or obligation convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any such interests in any such Subsidiary. The
terms of the Units conform in all material respects to statements and
descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The
Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule II attached hereto include all of the
"significant subsidiaries" of the Company, as such term is defined by Rule 1-02
of Regulation S-X.
7. The Company has the full trust power and authority, and the
Operating Partnership has the requisite partnership power and authority, to
enter into the Agreement, and in the case of the Company, to issue, sell and
deliver the Shares to the Underwriter as provided in the Agreement, and the
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable, and is the legal, valid
and binding agreement of each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, as
applicable, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.

8. The form of certificate representing the Common Shares is in due and
proper form and complies in all material respects with all applicable Maryland
statutory requirements and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock
Exchange.
9. To our knowledge after due inquiry, neither the Company nor any of
the Subsidiaries is in violation of its respective Declaration of Trust,
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, partnership agreement,
operating agreement or other organizational documents or is in default in the
performance of any material obligation, agreement or condition contained in any
bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness.
10. With respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries, neither the
offer, sale or delivery of the Shares, the execution, delivery or performance of
the Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by
the Company or the Subsidiaries, as applicable: (i) required or requires, with
respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries, any consent, approval, authorization
or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental body, agency or official, or the New
York Stock Exchange (except (a) such as has been made or obtained and (b) as to
state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which we express no opinion); (ii)
conflicted with or conflicts with, constituted or constitutes, or resulted in or
results in, a breach or violation of, or a default under, the Declaration of
Trust, Articles Supplementary, certificate or articles of incorporation or
bylaws, partnership agreement or other organizational documents, of any of such
entities, or under any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note
agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition covenant or
instrument to which any of such entities is a party or by which any of them or
any of their respective properties or assets are bound or subject to; (iii)
violated or violates any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, injunction,
order or decree applicable to any of such entities or any of their respective
properties or assets; or (iv) resulted or will result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the property or assets of any
of such entities pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which
any of them is a party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of
the property or assets of any of them is subject.
11. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is, and after
giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the
proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto) will be, an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.
12. To our knowledge after due inquiry, (i) there are no pending or
threatened actions, suits or proceedings against the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or any of their respective trustees, directors or officers in their
capacity as such, or to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of
their respective trustees, directors or officers in their capacity as such, or
any of their respective properties or assets, is subject, that are of a
character which is required to be described in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) other than any that are
described or incorporated therein by reference and (ii) there are no agreements,
contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments that are required to be

supplement thereto) or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
that are not described or filed as required by the Act.

13. The statements in the Registration Statement and Prospectus
Supplement set forth under the headings "Description of Shares of Beneficial
Interest", "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of our Declaration of Trust
and Bylaws" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations", and the statements in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement under the heading "Risk
Factors--Our status as a REIT is dependent on compliance with federal income tax
requirements", to the extent they constitute matters of law or descriptions or
summaries of contracts, agreements or other legal documents, or refer to or
constitute statements of matters of law, descriptions of statutes, rules or
regulations, or legal conclusions, each, respectively, are accurate and fair
summaries of the information disclosed therein.
14. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and
any required filing of the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period
required by Rule 424(b). To our knowledge, no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no proceedings for
that purpose have been instituted or threatened and the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (other than the
financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained
therein, as to which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and
the respective rules thereunder.
15. The Shares are duly listed, admitted and authorized for trading on
the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance.
16. The Company was organized in conformity with the requirements for
qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and, based on the facts
and assumptions set forth in the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto) and certain representations by the Company regarding certain federal
income tax matters, its method of operation has enabled it, and its proposed
method of operation will enable it, to meet the requirements under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for qualification and taxation as a REIT.
In addition, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than
the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data therein,
as to which we express no view) comply as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; although
we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness
of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
except for those referred to in the opinion in paragraph 13 above, no facts have
come to our attention that have led us to believe that, as of its effective
date, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and
related schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express no
view) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or that, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement
dated the date hereof, the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and
related schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express no
view), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
5
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that, as of the date
hereof, the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related
schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express no view)
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; the documents incorporated by
reference in either the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than the
financial statements and related schedules therein and other financial data, as
to which we express no view), when they became effective or were filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and no facts have come to
our attention that have led us to believe that any of such documents, when they
became effective or were so filed, as the case may be, contained, in the case of
a registration statement which became effective under the Act, an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or,
in the case of other documents which were filed under the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act with the Commission, an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such
documents were so filed, not misleading; and we do not know of any amendment to
the Registration Statement required to be filed or any contracts or other
documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or
required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which
are not filed or incorporated by reference or described as required.
With respect to the prior paragraph, our statements are based upon our
representation of the Company and our participation in the preparation of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and review and discussion thereof, and
we do not pass upon or assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness
or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, subject to the opinion set forth above in paragraph 13.
