Distribution Rate and Payment Dates:
  Investors will be entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions on the Series D Preferred Shares at a rate of 7.375% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference (equivalent to $1.84375 per year per share). Distributions on the Series D Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, or if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, beginning July 16, 2007. The first distribution will be for less than a full quarterly period and any distribution payable on the Series D Preferred Shares for any partial distribution period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. However, during any period of time that both (i) the Series D Preferred Shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), and (ii) we are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), but Series D Preferred Shares are outstanding, we will increase the cumulative cash distributions payable on the Series D Preferred Shares to a rate of 8.375% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.09375 per year per share). Distributions payable to investors on the Series D Preferred Shares issued in this offering will be cumulative from the date of original issuance. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Shares will continue to accumulate even if we do not have earnings or funds legally available to pay such distributions or we do not declare the payment of distributions.
Maturity:
  Perpetual
Special Optional Redemption:
  If at any time both (i) the Series D Preferred Shares cease to be listed on the NYSE, the AMEX or the NASDAQ, and (ii) we cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, but Series D Preferred Shares are outstanding, we will have the option to redeem the Series D Preferred Shares, in whole but not in part, within 90 days of the date upon which the Series D Preferred Shares cease to be listed and we cease to be subject to such reporting requirements, for cash at $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions up to and including the date of redemption.
Optional Redemption:
  We may not redeem the Series D Preferred Shares prior to May 25, 2012, except as described above under “Special Optional Redemption” or in limited circumstances to preserve our qualification as a REIT. On and after May 25, 2012, we may, at our option, redeem the Series D Preferred Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, by paying $25.00 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions up to and including the redemption date.

  $0.7875 per share

Amendment to our Proposed Equity Incentive Plan
     In our Proxy Statement and Notice of 2007 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting filed with the SEC on April 6, 2007, we solicited shareholder approval of an equity incentive plan, referred to as the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, to provide equity-based compensation to our trustees, officers and employees. We have subsequently reduced the number of our shares that would be authorized for issuance under the plan from 1,500,000 to 950,000. The shares remaining available for issuance or award under our First Amended and Restated 1997 Share Incentive Plan will no longer be available for issuance or award if our shareholders approve the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

(1)   At April 27, 2007, we had approximately $166.5 million of indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of our Series A Preferred Shares and for general business purposes as described under “Use of Proceeds.” Pending application of net proceeds to such uses, we intend to use all of the net proceeds to reduce our indebtedness under our unsecured revolving credit facility. The “As Adjusted” column gives effect, as of March 31, 2007, to the redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares and, accordingly, amounts shown for the unsecured revolving credit facility and total debt do not give effect to the net proceeds being entirely used to reduce the amount of outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility.
 
(2)   In connection with the consummation of this offering, we have filed an amendment to our Declaration of Trust increasing the authorized number of preferred shares from 15,000,000 to 25,000,000.
