(v) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; any required filing of the Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), each as amended or supplemented, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder; and although counsel assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of statements made therein except to the extent set forth in paragraph (iv) above, such counsel has no reason to believe that on the Effective Date or the date the Registration Statement was last deemed amended the Registration Statement contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus as of its date or on the Closing Date included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical informationcontained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion); |
14
(vi) this Agreement and the Forward Purchase Contract have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; the Forward Purchase Contract constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and the Forward Purchase Contract conforms in all material respects to the description thereof in the Prospectus; |

(viii) no consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Forward Purchase Contract, except such as have been obtained under the Act and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriter in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus and such other approvals (specified in such opinion) as have been obtained; |
(ix) the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Forward Purchase Contract, its compliance with all of the provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, including the issuance of the Hedge Securities, and, to the knowledge of such counsel, the sale of the Securities being sold by Forward Counterparty and the consummation by the parties other than the Company of any of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, will not conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument known to such counsel and to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including the Partnership) is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree known to such counsel to be applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries (including the Partnership) of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such breaches or violation which, if determined adversely to the Company, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the current or future consolidated financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein; |
15
(x) to such counsel’s knowledge no holders of securities of the Company have rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement; and |
(xi) The Company has qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for each taxable year since its inception through the most recently completed fiscal year, and based on assumptions set forth in the Prospectus and certain representations of the Company set forth in an officer’s certificate, the Company’s present and contemplated organization, ownership, method of operation, assets and income, taking into account the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Forward Purchase Contract, are such that the Company is in a position under present law to so qualify for the current fiscal year and in the future. |
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriter and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (b) shall also include any amendments or supplements thereto at the Closing Date. |
16
(c) The Underwriter shall have received from Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriter, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriter, with respect to the sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any amendment or supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Underwriter may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company or two other authorized signatories, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; |
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and |
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). |
(e) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP to have furnished to the Underwriter, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating in effect that:
(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission; |
17
(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial statements made available by the Company and its subsidiaries; carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and the executive, audit and investment committees of the Company and its subsidiaries; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to December 31, 2004, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that: |
(1) with respect to the period subsequent to December 31, 2004, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the consolidated capital stock (other than issuances of capital stock in connection with dividend reinvestment plans, upon exercise of options and stock appreciation rights, upon earn-outs of performance shares and upon conversions of convertible securities, in each case which were outstanding on the date of the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) or any increase in the consolidated mortgage loans payable or long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or the Partnership and its subsidiaries, or any decreases in total assets or stockholders’ equity or other items specified by the Underwriter, or any increases in any items specified by the Underwriter, in each case as compared with the amounts shown on the December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or for the period from January 1, 2005 to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the comparable period of the preceding year consolidated net revenues or operating profit or the total or per share amounts of consolidated net income or other items specified by the Underwriter, or any increases in any items specified by the Underwriter, in each case as compared with the comparable period of the preceding year and with any other period of corresponding length specified by the Underwriter, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Underwriter; or |
18
(2) the information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus in response to Regulation S-K, Item 301 (Selected Financial Data), Item 302 (Supplementary Financial Information), and Item 503(d) (Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges) is not in conformity with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K; and |
(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Partnership) set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information included or incorporated by reference in Items 1, 6 and 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the information included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation. |
References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (e) include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the letter. |
(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
19
(g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Underwriter such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriter may reasonably request.
(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating.
(i) The Hedge Securities shall have been listed and admitted or authorized for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty.
(j) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have used good faith efforts to furnish to the Underwriter a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto from each executive officer and director of the Company addressed to the Underwriter.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriter. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriter, at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the Closing Date.
7. Expenses. (a) The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty that, whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, (i) the Company will pay or cause to be paid all registration, filing and stock exchange or National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fees, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, all printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, any fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by the Company, any fees and disbursements of independent public accountants for the Company incurred in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Act, all underwriting discounts, if any, and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, and any premiums and other costs of policies of insurance obtained by the Company against liabilities arising out of the public offering of the Securities. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section and Section 8 hereof, the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty will pay all of their respective costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.
20
(b) If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by the Underwriter or the Forward Counterparty, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by it in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter or Forward Counterparty and each person who controls the Underwriter or Forward Counterparty within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Forward Counterparty, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and the Forward Counterparty, and each person who controls the Company or the Forward Counterparty within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent (excluding any provisos) as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the following statements, as set forth under the heading “Underwriting” of the Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in the Prospectus: (i) the name of the Underwriter and its participation in the sale of the Securities, (ii) the first full paragraph on page S-14, the carryover paragraph at the bottom of page S-14 and the first full paragraph on page S-15.
21
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one such separate counsel (regardless of the number of indemnified parties) if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
22
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company, the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriter from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall the Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Securities purchased by the Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total settlement amount received or reasonably expected to be received as of the Settlement Date (as such terms are defined in the Forward Purchase Contract) and benefits received by the Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls the Underwriter or the Forward Counterparty within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Underwriter or the Forward Counterparty shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter or the Forward Counterparty, respectively, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company and the Forward Counterparty prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States.
23
10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and of the Underwriter and the Forward Counterparty set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter , the Forward Counterparty or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
