, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such preferred shares. Thus, our Board could authorize the issuance of preferred shares with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our other shares. The issuance of such preferred shares could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our shares.

Our declaration of trust contains certain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent an acquisition of our securities or a change in control. 

Certain provisions of our declaration of trust may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from acquiring us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our shareholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares.

Under our declaration of trust, certain transactions require the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of our trustees followed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of our shares of beneficial interest of each affected class or series outstanding, voting as separate classes or series (the “Principal Shareholder Requirements”), when a Principal Shareholder (defined generally to mean any corporation, person or other entity which is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest of all outstanding classes or series and includes any affiliate or associate, as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, of a Principal Shareholder) is a party to the transaction. These transactions include any:

•merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company with or into any Principal Shareholder;

•issuance of any securities of the Company to any Principal Shareholder for cash (other than pursuant to any automatic dividend reinvestment plan);

•sale, lease or exchange of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Company to any Principal Shareholder (except assets having an aggregate fair market value of less than 2% of the total assets of the Company, aggregating for the purpose of such computation all assets sold, leased or exchanged in any series of similar transactions within a twelve-month period); or

•sale, lease or exchange to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, in exchange
