 “ Board ”) and will depend upon our actual and projected financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and funds from operations, maintenance of our REIT qualification and such other matters as our Board may deem relevant from time to time. Stockholders have no contractual or other legal right to distributions that have not been authorized by our Board and declared by our company. It is possible that stockholders may in the future receive lower distributions as compared to those previously paid by us for various reasons, including the following: we may not have enough cash to pay such distributions due to changes in our cash requirements, indebtedness, capital spending plans, operating cash flows, or financial position; our Board may elect to retain cash for investment purposes, working capital reserves or other purposes, or to maintain or improve our credit ratings; the amount of distributions that our subsidiaries may distribute to us may be subject to restrictions imposed by state law, state regulators, and/or the terms of any current or future indebtedness that these subsidiaries may incur; and our Board reserves the right to change our distribution practices at any time and for any reason. We may not be able to make distributions in the future or may need to fund such distributions from external sources, as to which no assurances can be given. In addition, as noted above, we may choose to retain operating cash flow, and these retained funds, although increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of shares of our common stock. Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.**
