Item 33. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

As part of our formation transactions, on March 19, 2008, we sold an aggregate of 1,180,000 shares of our Listed Common Stock to designees of Venture for an aggregate purchase price of $6,350,000. As part of this sale, 1,000,000 shares of Listed Common Stock were issued to an individual and five entities, including an entity controlled by Jay H. Shidler, at a price of $5.00 per share, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, and 180,000 shares of Listed Common Stock were issued to a single entity at a price of $7.50 per share, or $1,350,000 in the aggregate. The issuance of the shares of Listed Common Stock was effected pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as the offering was made only to qualifying investors and on terms negotiated as an integral part of our formation transactions.

We also granted to Venture an option to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Listed Common Stock at a price of $7.50 per share, which option was exercisable for three months following March 19, 2008. The issuance of the option was effected pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as the offering was made to a qualifying investor and on terms negotiated as an integral part of our formation transactions. Venture did not exercise this option.

On March 19, 2008, we also issued to the Advisor, in return for $100, a share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock entitling the Advisor to vote on all matters for which our stockholders are entitled to vote. The rights of the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock are set out in Articles Supplementary to our charter. The number of votes that the Advisor is entitled to cast in respect of its Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock is initially equal the number of shares of our Listed Common Stock which are issuable upon redemption of Common Units and Preferred Units that were outstanding on March 19, 2008, immediately following the consummation of our formation transactions, for shares of Listed Common Stock. The Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock represented approximately 94.18% of our voting power immediately following the consummation of our formation transactions. As Common Units and Preferred Units are redeemed at the option of the unitholder, the number of votes attaching to the Advisor’s Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock will be decreased by an equivalent amount. The Advisor will not be entitled to any regular or special dividend payments or other distributions on its Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock. The Advisor has agreed in the Advisory Agreement to cast the votes of the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock in direct proportion to the votes that are cast by holders of the underlying Common Units and Preferred Units. The issuance of the share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock was effected pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as the offering was made to a qualifying investor and on terms negotiated as an integral part of our formation transactions.

 
II-1

 
On September 25, 2009, we issued an aggregate of 789,095 shares of Listed Common Stock in exchange for unsecured promissory notes of the Operating Partnership in an aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 million.  These shares were issued without registration pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as the offering was made to qualifying investors.

Item 34. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action.  Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Under Maryland law, unless limited by the charter, indemnification is mandatory if a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding arising from his service as a director or officer unless such indemnification is not otherwise permitted as described in the following sentence. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful. In addition to the foregoing, a court of appropriate jurisdiction may, under certain circumstances, order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director or officer has met the standards of conduct set forth in the preceding sentence or has been adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. If the proceeding was an action by or in the right of the corporation or involved a determination that the director or officer received an improper personal benefit, however, no indemnification may be made if the individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent of expenses approved by a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

In Maryland, reasonable expenses may be advanced to a director or to an officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the same extent that they may be advanced to a director unless limited by the charter. Advances to directors, officers, employees and agents prior to the final adjudication of a proceeding may be generally authorized in the corporation’s charter or bylaws, by action of the board of directors or by contract. The director, officer, employee or agent must give to the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation has been met, and a written undertaking by him or on his behalf providing that if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct has not been met, said director, officer, employee or agent will repay the amount advanced.

Our charter provides that we will indemnify each of our current and former directors and officers, including the advancement of expenses (without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification), unless it is established under the MGCL that (i) his act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) he actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful (but in the event of any amendment to the MGCL permitting us to provide broader indemnification rights than are currently set forth in our charter, such rights would be provided to the fullest extent required or permitted by the MGCL as so amended). Our charter also provides that we may indemnify, including the advancement of expenses (without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification), our current and former employees and agents as may be authorized by the board of directors in the specific case and permitted by applicable law or our bylaws. However, we will not indemnify any indemnitee in connection with a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee unless such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the directors then in office, or where such proceeding is to enforce rights to indemnification or in a contract approved by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of directors then in office.

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 
II-6

 
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
