to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly
advise the Representatives (1) when the Registration Statement, if not
effective at the Execution Time, shall have become effective, (2) when the
Preliminary Final Prospectus or Final Prospectus, and any supplement
thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have
been filed with the Commission, (3) when, prior to termination of the
offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement
shall have been filed or become effective, (4) of any request by the
Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement,
or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the
Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (5) of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose and (6) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such
qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal
thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend
the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply
with the Act or the Exchange Act, the Company promptly will (1) notify the
Representatives of such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission,
subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an
amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or
effect such compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to
you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(c) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the
Act.
14
(d) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for
the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration
Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a
copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long
as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by
the Act, as many copies of each Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final
Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may
reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other
production of all documents relating to the offering.
(e) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of
the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
Representatives may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect
so long as required for the distribution of the Securities and will pay
any fee of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., in
connection with its review of the offering; provided that in no event
shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that
would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising
out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where
it is not now so subject.
(f) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise
dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might
reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual
disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or
otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in
privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or
indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a
registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or
increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call
equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the
Securities) or publicly announce an intention to effect any such
transaction, until the Business Day set forth on Schedule I hereto.
(g) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected
to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization
or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of the Securities.
(h) The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements
to qualify as a REIT under the Code unless the Company's Board of
Directors determines by resolution that it is in the best interests of the
Company's stockholders not to so qualify.
15
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company
contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy
of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the
provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations
hereunder and to the following additional conditions:
(a) If the Registration Statement has not become effective prior to
the Execution Time, unless the Representatives agree in writing to a later
time, the Registration Statement will become effective not later than (i)
6:00 PM New York City time on the date of determination of the public
offering price, if such determination occurred at or prior to 3:00 PM New
York City time on such date or (ii) 9:30 AM on the Business Day following
the day on which the public offering price was determined, if such
determination occurred after 3:00 PM New York City time on such date; if
filing of the Final Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, is required
pursuant to Rule 424(b), the Final Prospectus, and any such supplement,
will be filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule
424(b); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall
have been instituted or threatened.
(b) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxxx Coie LLP,
counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Underwriters their
opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters
substantially in the form of Annex A hereto. In rendering their opinion as
aforesaid, counsel may rely (A) upon an opinion or opinions, each dated
the Closing Date, of other counsel retained by them or the Company as to
laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or the State of
Washington, provided that (1) each such local counsel is acceptable to
you, (2) such reliance is expressly authorized by each opinion so relied
upon and a copy of each such opinion is delivered to you and is, in forma
and substance satisfactory to them and their counsel, and (3) counsel
shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the
Underwriters are justified in relying thereon; 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 Final
Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the
Closing Date.
(c) The Underwriters shall have received from King & Spalding LLP,
counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing
Date and addressed to the Underwriters, with respect to the issuance and
sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus
(together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the
Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company shall have
furnished to such counsel such
16
documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon
such matters.
(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters a
certificate of the Company, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the
President and the principal financial or accounting officer of the
Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such
certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Final
Prospectus, any supplements to the Final 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 Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any 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 Final Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto).
(e) The Company shall have requested and caused Deloitte & Touche
LLP to have furnished to the Underwriters, at the Execution Time and at
the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered
to one or more of the Underwriters), dated respectively as of the
Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representatives, 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, except as provided in Schedule I hereto,
that:
(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and
financial statement schedules included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement and the Final 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 audit and compensation committees of the Company and
the 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, 2002, nothing came to their attention
which caused them to believe that:
(1) any unaudited financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
the Final Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements of the Act
and with the related rules and regulations adopted by the
Commission with respect to financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
under the Exchange Act; and said unaudited financial
statements are not in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis substantially
consistent with that of the audited financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Final Prospectus;
(2) with respect to the period subsequent to December
31, 2002, there were any changes, at a specified date not more
than three Business Days prior to the date of the letter, in
the consolidated total debt (defined as lines of credit plus
notes payable) of the Company and its subsidiaries or capital
stock of the Company or decreases in consolidated assets or
the shareholders' equity of the Company as compared with the
amounts shown on the December 31, 2002 consolidated balance
sheet included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, or for the
period from January 1, 2003, to such specified date there were
any decreases, as compared with the same period in the prior
year, in consolidated revenue or income before income taxes or
in total or per share amounts of net income of the Company and
its subsidiaries, 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 Representatives;
18
(3) the information included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus
in response to Regulation S-K, Item 301 (Selected Financial
Data), Item 302 (Supplementary Financial Information), Item
402 (Executive Compensation) 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) set
forth in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and in
Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information
set forth under the captions "Capitalization" and "Selected
Financial Information" in the Final Prospectus and in Items 1, 2, 6,
7 and 11 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus,
agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its
subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (e) include any
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 Final Prospectus (exclusive of any 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), 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 Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the
Representatives, 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 Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to
the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents
as the Representatives may reasonably request.
19
(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 or of a possible change in any
such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects 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 in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this
Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at,
or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives . 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 King & Spalding LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, on the Closing Date.
7. Expenses; Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. (a) The
Company agrees to pay the following costs and expenses and all other costs and
expenses incident to the performance by it of its obligations hereunder: (i) the
preparation, printing or reproduction, of the Final Prospectus and the
Preliminary Final Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of them;
(ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight
charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Final
Prospectus, the Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Incorporated Documents, and
all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may be reasonably requested for
use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the
preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for
the Securities, including any stamp taxes in connection with the original
issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and
delivery of this Agreement, any Blue Sky Memorandum and all other agreements or
documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering
of the Securities; (v) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection
with rating the Securities by any rating agency and the admission of the
Securities for trading on any stock exchange; (vi) the registration or
qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue
Sky laws of the several states as provided in Section 5(e) hereof (including the
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters
relating to the preparation, printing or reproduction, and delivery of the Blue
Sky Memorandum and such registration and qualification); (vii) the costs and
charges of the Trustee and any transfer agent, registrar or depositary; and
(viii) the fees and expenses of the Company's accountants and the fees and
expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company.
20
(b) If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not
consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set
forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant
to Section 10 hereof 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 any of the Underwriters, the Company
will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand
for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed
purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees
and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter
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 Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final 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 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 with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in
any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such Underwriter occurs under the circumstance where it shall have
been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Final
Prospectus to the Underwriters, (x) delivery of the Final Prospectus was
required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Final Prospectus was
corrected in the Final Prospectus and (z) there was not sent or given to such
person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities
to such person, a copy of the Final Prospectus; provided further, 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 any Underwriter through the
21
Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements
set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the
Securities and (ii) under the heading "Underwriting," (A) the list of
Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities,
(B) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (C) the paragraph
related to stabilization, including descriptions of the effects of any such
activities, in any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus
constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the
several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the
Final Prospectus.
(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 reasonably 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
such separate counsel 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
22
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 reasonably 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. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in
connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any
time for all such Underwriters and controlling persons, which firm shall be
designated in writing by the Representatives. 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 no admission of guilt and
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(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 Underwriters 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
and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities;
provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be
provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the
Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount
or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter
hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the Underwriters on the other 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 net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by
it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the
total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the
cover page of the Final 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
23
the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, 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
Underwriters 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 an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the
same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls
the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each
director 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. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall
fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by
such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall
constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this
Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up
and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount
of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the
remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event
that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of
the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto,
the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not
be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement
will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the
Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the
required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in
any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to
the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its
default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in
the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company
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
24
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 calamity or crisis the effect of which on
financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the
Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or
delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final Prospectus (exclusive of
any supplement thereto), or (iv) a material disruption in commercial banking or
securities settlement or clearance services in the United States.
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or its officers and of the Underwriters 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 any Underwriter 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.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and
effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed,
delivered or telefaxed to Banc of America Securities LLC, Attention: Transaction

(xiv) The statements in the Final Prospectus under the captions "Risk Factors --
Real Estate Investment Risks", "Risk Factors -- Risks Relating to
Qualification and Operation as a REIT", "Description of the Notes" and
"Federal Income Tax Considerations" and the
statements in the Registration Statement and Basic Prospectus under the

Qualification as a REIT" under the caption "Risk Factors" and under the
captions "General Description of Securities," "Description of the Common
Stock," "Description of the Preferred Stock," "Description of the Debt

the Company was organized and has operated in conformity with the

through 860 of the Code for each of the taxable years ended December 31,
1995, December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998, December
31, 1999, December 31, 2000, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002; the
Company's current organization and method of operations should permit the

be material to a holder of Securities;

company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended;
(xvii) Although such counsel has not undertaken to determine independently, and
does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of
the statements in the Registration Statement, such counsel has
participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the
Final Prospectus, including review and discussion of the contents thereof
(including review and discussion of the contents of all Incorporated
Documents), and nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that has
caused them to believe that the Registration Statement (including the
Incorporated Documents) at the time the Registration Statement became
effective, or the Final Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing
Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or that any amendment or supplement to
the Final Prospectus, as of its respective date, and as of the Closing
Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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 (it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion
with respect to the financial statements and the notes thereto and the
schedules and other financial and statistical data included in the
Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or any Incorporated
Document.) Nothing in this opinion (xvii) modifies or affects the opinions
set forth in opinions (vii), (xiv) and (xv);
(xviii) To such counsel's knowledge, no holder of any security of the Company
has any right to require registration of any security of the Company
because of the filing of the Registration Statement or consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
