 state and local taxes on our income and property. Changes in state and local tax laws and regulations, or increases in tax rates may result in an increase in our tax liabilities over time. Additionally, fiscal challenges faced by states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and amount of such increase, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our TRSs are subject to federal, state and local income tax on their earnings, which could reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders and unitholders.

 In the normal course of business, certain of our legal entities have been and may continue to be subject to tax audits. There can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

General Risk Factors:

A future contagious disease outbreak or pandemic may adversely affect our business.

A future contagious disease outbreak or pandemic could cause disruptions to regional and global economies and significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. The adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could include: (i) reduced economic activity which may severely impact our tenants' businesses and may cause certain of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, attempt to terminate early or non-renew of their leases or otherwise seek modifications of their obligations to us; (ii) delays to or halting of construction activities, including permitting and obtaining approvals, related to our ongoing development, redevelopment and  tenant improvements projects; (iii) difficulty in accessing the capital and lending markets (or a significant increase in the costs of doing so), impacts to our credit ratings, a severe disruption or instability in the global financial markets, or deterioration in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing debt obligations on a timely basis; (iv) potential impact on our ability to meet the financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility and other debt agreements, which may result in a default or an acceleration of indebtedness, and such non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and pay dividends; (v) any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; (vi) a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions, which could adversely affect our ability to sell or purchase
