 Forward Purchaser a number of shares of common stock having a value equal to the difference. See “Plan of Distribution” for information on the Forward Contracts.

In case of our bankruptcy or insolvency, any Forward Contracts will automatically terminate, and we would not receive the expected proceeds from any forward sales of our common stock.

If we file for or consent to a proceeding seeking a judgment in bankruptcy or insolvency or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or we or a regulatory authority with jurisdiction over us presents a petition for our winding-up or liquidation, and we consent to such a petition, any Forward Contracts that are then in effect will automatically terminate. If any such Forward Contract so terminates under these circumstances, we would not be obligated to deliver to the relevant Forward Purchaser any of our common stock not previously delivered, and the relevant Forward Purchaser would be discharged from its obligation to pay the applicable forward sale price per share in respect of any of our common stock not previously settled under the applicable Forward Contract. Therefore, to the extent that there are any shares of our common stock with respect to which any Forward Contract has not been settled at the time of the commencement of any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, we would not receive the relevant forward sale price per share in respect of those shares of our common stock.

The uncertainty of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the cash that we might receive from cash settlement of a Forward Contract and its impact on our ability to meet the REIT qualification requirements may preclude us from electing to cash settle a Forward Contract.

The treatment of any cash settlement payment we may receive upon our election to cash settle a Forward Contract for purposes of the gross income tests applicable to REITs is unclear. Therefore, we may only elect to cash settle a Forward Contract if we determine that we can satisfy the gross income requirements for REITs while treating such cash settlement payment as non-qualifying income. In the event we are not able to make such determination, we may be precluded from electing to cash settle a Forward Contract even if the cash settlement may be the optimal business decision.**
