Prospectus excerpt:  We are offering 1,150,000 shares of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as Series A Preferred Stock. We have granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 172,500 additional shares to cover over-allotments.

We will pay cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock from (and including) December 5, 2006 in the amount of $1.90625 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.625% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, commencing on March 15, 2007. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or otherwise repurchased. Except in limited circumstances relating to our qualification as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and as described below, the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to December 5, 2011. On and after December 5, 2011, at any time and from time to time the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable in whole, or in part, at our option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of redemption.

During any period of time that both (i) the Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, the American Stock Exchange, or AMEX, or NASDAQ and (ii) we are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, but any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we will (a) increase the cumulative cash dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock to a fixed rate of $2.15625 per share per year, which is equivalent to 8.625% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share and (b) have the option to redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the date upon which the shares cease to be listed and we cease to be subject to such reporting requirements, for a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.
