PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
     United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. is a self administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, acquires, renovates, develops, and manages apartment communities nationwide. At December 31, 2005, our apartment portfolio included 259 communities located in 43 markets, with a total of 74,875 completed apartment homes. In addition, we had five apartment communities under development.
     We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain tests which, among other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real estate assets, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. As a qualified REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on our net income to the extent we distribute such net income to our stockholders. In 2005, we declared total distributions of $1.20 per share to our stockholders, which represents our 29th year of consecutive dividend increases to our stockholders.
     We were formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation. In June 2003, we changed our state of incorporation from Virginia to Maryland. Our corporate headquarters is located at 400 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia. Our principal executive offices are located at 1745 Shea Center Drive, Suite 200, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. As of February 24, 2006, we had 1,900 full-time employees and 136 part-time employees.
     Our subsidiaries include two operating partnerships, Heritage Communities L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and United Dominion Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the company,” or “United Dominion” refer collectively to United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
2005 Accomplishments
    We increased our dividend for the 29th consecutive year.
 
    We completed over $1.5 billion of capital transactions in 2005.
 
    We amended our credit facility and extended its term for an additional two years, thereby reducing our costs.
 
    We acquired 2,561 apartment homes in eight communities for approximately $390.9 million and one parcel of land for $2.9 million.
 
    We completed the disposition of 22 apartment communities with 6,352 apartment homes for an aggregate sales price of approximately $387.2 million and one parcel of land for $0.9 million. In addition, we sold 240 condominiums within five communities for a total of $69.1 million and our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture for $39.2 million.
Business Objectives and Operating Strategies
     Our principal business objective is to maximize the economic returns of our apartment communities to provide our stockholders with the greatest possible total return and value. To achieve this objective, we intend to continue to pursue the following goals and strategies:
    own and operate apartments across a national platform, thus enhancing stability and predictability of returns to our stockholders,

Table of Contents

    manage real estate cycles by taking an opportunistic approach to buying, selling, and building apartment communities,
 
    empower site associates to manage our communities efficiently and effectively,
 
    measure and reward associates based on specific performance targets, and
 
    manage our capital structure to ensure predictability of earnings and dividends.
Acquisitions
     During 2005, using the proceeds from our disposition program, as well as equity and debt offerings, we acquired eight communities with 2,561 apartment homes at a total cost of approximately $390.9 million, including the assumption of secured debt. In addition, we purchased one parcel of land for $2.9 million.
     When evaluating potential acquisitions, we consider:
    population growth, cost of alternative housing, overall potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the community in which the property is located,
 
    geographic location, including proximity to our existing communities which can deliver significant economies of scale,
 
    construction quality, condition and design of the community,
 
    current and projected cash flow of the property and the ability to increase cash flow,
 
    potential for capital appreciation of the property,
 
    ability to increase the value and profitability of the property through upgrades and repositioning,
 
    terms of resident leases, including the potential for rent increases,
 
    occupancy and demand by residents for properties of a similar type in the vicinity,
 
    prospects for liquidity through sale, financing, or refinancing of the property, and
 
    competition from existing multifamily communities and the potential for the construction of new multifamily properties in the area.
     The following table summarizes our apartment acquisitions and our year-end ownership position for the past five years (dollars in thousands):

Dispositions
     We regularly monitor and adjust our assets to increase portfolio profitability. During 2005, we sold over 6,300 of our slower growing, non-core apartment homes while exiting some markets in an effort to increase the quality and

performance of our portfolio. Proceeds from the disposition program were used primarily to reduce debt and fund acquisitions.
     Factors we consider in deciding whether to dispose of a property include:
    current market price for an asset compared to projected economics for that asset,
 
    potential increases in new construction in the market area,
 
    areas where the economy is not expected to grow substantially, and
 
    markets where we do not intend to establish long-term concentration.
     At December 31, 2005, there were four communities with a total of 384 condominiums and two parcels of land classified as real estate held for disposition. We are in the market for replacement properties that will correspond with our expected sales activity to prevent dilution to earnings.
Upgrading and Development Activities
     During 2005, we continued to reposition properties in targeted markets where there was an opportunity to add value and achieve greater than inflationary increases in rents over the long term. In 2005, we spent $49.3 million on five development projects that are expected to be completed in 2006 and 2007. Revenue enhancing capital expenditures, including kitchen and bath renovations, and other extensive interior upgrades totaled $98.6 million or $1,302 per home for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, we spent $18.7 million on major renovation projects that included major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to existing buildings and the wiring and/or re-plumbing of an entire building.
     The following wholly owned projects were under development as of December 31, 2005:

     In addition, we owned four parcels of land held for future development aggregating $20.8 million at December 31, 2005.
Financing Activities
     As part of our plan to strengthen our capital structure, we utilized proceeds from dispositions, debt and equity offerings and refinancings to extend maturities, pay down existing debt, and acquire apartment communities. The following is a summary of our major financing activities in 2005:
  §   Repaid $133.8 million of secured debt and $70.9 million of unsecured debt, and incurred $8.5 million in prepayment penalties.

4


Table of Contents

  §   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in February 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The February 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $150 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
  §   Sold our shares in Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, in February 2005. As a result, we received cash proceeds and recorded a one-time gain of $12.3 million on the sale. As part of the transaction, an additional $0.8 million was placed in escrow and will be recorded as revenue when received.
 
  §   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in March 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The March 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $200 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
  §   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in May 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The May 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $250 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
  §   Amended and restated our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and extended the term an additional two years. The credit facility matures on May 31, 2008, and, at our option, can be extended for an additional year. We have the right to increase the credit facility to $750 million if the initial lenders increase their commitments or we receive commitments from additional lenders. Based on our current credit ratings, the credit facility carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 57.5 basis points, which represents a 12.5 basis point reduction to the previous unsecured revolver, and the facility fee was reduced from 20 basis points to 15 basis points. Under a competitive bid feature and for so long as we maintain an Investment Grade Rating, we have the right to bid out 100% of the commitment amount.
 
  §   Converted a $75 million variable rate debt facility to a fixed rate of 4.86% on December 1, 2005.
 
  §   Sold $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% medium-term notes due January 2016 in September 2005 under our medium-term note program. The net proceeds of approximately $100 million were used for debt repayment.
 
  §   Sold $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2035 in December 2005. We used the net proceeds of approximately $245 million to repay outstanding debt under our unsecured revolving bank credit facility and to repurchase shares of our common stock.
 
  §   Repurchased 1,069,500 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $22.08 under our common stock repurchase program and repurchased 2,110,850 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $23.51 in connection with the offering of our 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2035. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.
Markets and Competitive Conditions
     At December 31, 2005, we owned 259 apartment communities in 43 markets in 16 states. When comparing fourth quarter 2005 to the same period in the prior year, 84% of the portfolio generated positive revenue growth and 69% of the portfolio generated positive net operating income growth. We have a geographically diverse portfolio

5


Table of Contents

and we believe that this diversification increases investment opportunity and decreases the risk associated with cyclical local real estate markets and economies, thereby increasing the stability and predictability of our earnings.
     We believe changing demographics will have a significant impact on the apartment industry over the next two decades. In particular, we believe the annual number of young people entering the workforce and creating households will be significantly higher over the next 10 to 15 years as compared to the number who entered the workforce over the past 10 years. The number of single people and single parent households continues to grow significantly. The immigrant population is also expected to grow at an accelerated pace. Each of these population segments has a high propensity to rent.
     In many of our markets, competition for new residents is intense. Some competing communities offer features that our communities do not have. Competing communities frequently use concessions or lower rents to obtain temporary competitive advantages. Also, some competing communities are larger or newer than our communities. The competitive position of each community is different depending upon many factors including sub-market supply and demand. In addition, other real estate investors compete with us to acquire existing properties and to develop new properties. These competitors include insurance companies, pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment companies and other apartment REITs. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type that we would likely pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources, or lower capital costs, than we do.
     We believe that, in general, we are well-positioned to compete effectively for residents and investments. We believe our competitive advantages include:
  a fully integrated organization with property management, development, acquisition, marketing and financing expertise,
 
  scalable operating and support systems,
 
  purchasing power,
 
  geographic diversification with a presence in 43 markets across the country, and
 
  significant presence in many of our major markets that allows us to be a local operating expert.
     Moving forward, we will continue to emphasize aggressive lease management, improved expense control, increased resident retention efforts and the realignment of employee incentive plans tied to our bottom line performance. We believe this plan of operation, coupled with the portfolio’s strengths in targeting renters across a geographically diverse platform, should position us for continued operational improvement.
Communities
     At December 31, 2005, our apartment portfolio included 259 communities having a total of 74,875 completed apartment homes. In addition, we had five apartment communities under development. The overall quality of our portfolio has significantly improved since 2001 with the disposition of non-core apartment homes and our upgrade and rehabilitation program. The upgrading of the portfolio provides several key benefits related to portfolio profitability. It enables us to raise rents more significantly and to attract residents with higher levels of disposable income who are more likely to accept the transfer of expenses, such as water and sewer costs, from the landlord to the resident. In addition, it potentially reduces recurring capital expenditures per apartment home, and therefore increases cash flow.

Table of Contents

Same Communities
     For 2005, same community property operating income increased 3.4% or $10.3 million compared to 2004. The increase in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 3.8% or $18.6 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was partially offset by a 4.4% or $8.3 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 2.0% or $10.3 million increase in rental rates, a 20.2% or $2.9 million decrease in concession expense, a 7.5% or $2.6 million increase in utility reimbursement income and fee income, a 7.8% or $2.5 million decrease in vacancy loss, and a 15.6% or $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense. Physical occupancy increased 0.6% to 94.5%.
     The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 4.3% or $2.0 million increase in real estate taxes, a 3.8% or $1.9 million increase in personnel costs, a 3.8% or $1.1 million increase in utilities expense, a 2.9% or $0.9 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 4.7% or $0.8 million increase in administrative and marketing costs, a 46.7% or $0.7 million increase in incentive compensation, and a 5.4% or $0.5 million increase in insurance costs.
Customers
     Our upgrade and rehabilitation programs enable us to raise rents and attract residents with higher levels of disposable income who are more likely to accept the transfer of expenses, such as water and sewer costs, from the landlord to the resident. We believe this segment provides the highest profit potential in terms of rent growth, stability of occupancy and investment opportunities.
     We believe there will be a significant increase in the number of younger renters over the next 10 to 15 years, and that the immigrant population will remain a significant and growing part of the renter base. Accordingly, we plan to target some of our incremental investments to communities that will be attractive to younger households or to the immigrant populations. These communities will often be located close to where these residents work, shop and play.
Tax Matters
     We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain tests that, among other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real estate assets, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. Provided we maintain our qualification as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on our net income to the extent such net income is distributed to our stockholders. Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property.
     We may utilize several taxable REIT subsidiaries to engage in activities that REITs may be prohibited from performing, including the provision of management and other services to third parties and the conduct of certain nonqualifying real estate transactions. Taxable REIT subsidiaries generally are taxable as regular corporations and therefore are subject to federal, state and local income taxes.
Inflation
     Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less, which may enable us to realize increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or the beginning of new leases. Such short-term leases generally minimize the risk to us of the adverse effects of inflation, although as a general rule these leases permit residents to leave at the end of the lease term without penalty. Short-term leases and relatively consistent demand allow rents, and therefore cash flow from the portfolio, to provide an attractive hedge against inflation.
Environmental Matters
     Various environmental laws govern certain aspects of the ongoing operation of our communities. Such environmental laws include those regulating the existence of asbestos-containing materials in buildings, management of surfaces with lead-based paint (and notices of residents about the lead-based paint), use of active underground petroleum storage tanks, and waste-management activities. The failure to comply with such requirements could subject us to a government enforcement action and/or claims for damages by a private party.
     To date, compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We have a property management plan for hazardous materials. As part of the plan, Phase I environmental site investigations and reports have been completed for each property we own. In addition, all proposed acquisitions are inspected prior to acquisition. The inspections are conducted by qualified environmental consultants, and we review the issued report prior to the purchase or development of any property. Nevertheless, it is possible that our environmental

7


Table of Contents

assessments will not reveal all environmental liabilities, or that some material environmental liabilities exist of which we are unaware. In some cases, we have abandoned otherwise economically attractive acquisitions because the costs of removal or control of hazardous materials have been prohibitive or we have been unwilling to accept the potential risks involved. We do not believe we will be required to engage in any large-scale abatement at any of our properties. We believe that through professional environmental inspections and testing for asbestos, lead paint and other hazardous materials, coupled with a conservative posture toward accepting known risk, we can minimize our exposure to potential liability associated with environmental hazards.
     Federal legislation requires owners and landlords of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or purchasers of the communities any known lead paint hazards and imposes treble damages for failure to provide such notification. In addition, lead based paint in any of the communities may result in lead poisoning in children residing in that community if chips or particles of such lead based paint are ingested, and we may be held liable under state laws for any such injuries caused by ingestion of lead based paint by children living at the communities.
     We are unaware of any environmental hazards at any of our properties that individually or in the aggregate may have a material adverse impact on our operations or financial position. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and we are not otherwise aware, of any material non-compliance, liability, or claim relating to environmental liabilities in connection with any of our properties. We do not believe that the cost of continued compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on us or our financial condition or results of operations. Future environmental laws, regulations, or ordinances, however, may require additional remediation of existing conditions that are not currently actionable. Also, if more stringent requirements are imposed on us in the future, the costs of compliance could have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.
Insurance
     We carry comprehensive general liability coverage on our communities, with limits of liability customary within the industry to insure against liability claims and related defense costs. We are also insured, in all material respects, against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
     There are many factors that affect our business and our results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of important factors that may cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
     Unfavorable Changes in Apartment Market and Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Occupancy Levels and Rental Rates. Market and economic conditions in the metropolitan areas in which we operate may significantly affect our occupancy levels and rental rates and, therefore, our profitability. Factors that may adversely affect these conditions include the following:
    a reduction in jobs and other local economic downturns,
 
    declines in mortgage interest rates, making alternative housing more affordable,
 
    government or builder incentives which enable first time homebuyers to put little or no money down, making alternative housing decisions easier to make,
 
    oversupply of, or reduced demand for, apartment homes,
 
    declines in household formation, and
 
    rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs.
     The strength of the United States economy has become increasingly susceptible to global events and threats of terrorism. At the same time, productivity enhancements and the increased exportation of labor have resulted in limited job growth despite an improving economy. Continued weakness in job creation, or any worsening of current economic conditions, generally and in our principal market areas, could have a material adverse effect on our occupancy levels, our rental rates and our ability to strategically acquire and dispose of apartment communities. This may impair our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and pay distributions to our stockholders.
     New Acquisitions, Developments and Condominium Projects May Not Achieve Anticipated Results. We intend to continue to selectively acquire apartment communities that meet our investment criteria and to develop apartment communities for rental operations, to convert properties into condominiums and to develop condominium projects. Our acquisition, development and condominium activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
    •   an acquired community may fail to perform as we expected in analyzing our investment, or a significant exposure related to the acquired property may go undetected during our due diligence procedures,

11


Table of Contents

    •   when we acquire an apartment community, we often invest additional amounts in it with the intention of increasing profitability. These additional investments may not produce the anticipated improvements in profitability,
 
    •   new developments may not achieve pro forma rents or occupancy levels, or problems with construction or local building codes may delay initial occupancy dates for all or a portion of a development community, and
 
    •   an over supply of condominiums in a given market may cause a decrease in the prices at which we expect to sell condominium properties.
     Possible Difficulty of Selling Apartment Communities Could Limit Operational and Financial Flexibility. We periodically dispose of apartment communities that no longer meet our strategic objectives, but market conditions could change and purchasers may not be willing to pay prices acceptable to us. A weak market may limit our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic conditions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the proceeds from our overall property sales may be held by intermediaries in order for some sales to qualify as like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, so that any related capital gain can be deferred for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we may not have immediate access to all of the cash flow generated from our property sales. In addition, federal tax laws limit our ability to profit on the sale of communities that we have owned for fewer than four years, and this limitation may prevent us from selling communities when market conditions are favorable.
     Increased Competition Could Limit Our Ability to Lease Apartment Homes or Increase or Maintain Rents. Our apartment communities compete with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including other apartment communities and single-family rental homes, as well as owner occupied single- and multi-family homes. Competitive housing in a particular area could adversely affect our ability to lease apartment homes and increase or maintain rents.
     Insufficient Cash Flow Could Affect Our Debt Financing and Create Refinancing Risk. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our operating income and cash flow will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, or could restrict our borrowing capacity under our line of credit due to debt covenant restraints. Sufficient cash flow may not be available to make all required principal payments and still satisfy our distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and the full limits of our line of credit may not be available to us if our operating performance falls outside the constraints of our debt covenants. Additionally, we are likely to need to refinance substantially all of our outstanding debt as it matures. We may not be able to refinance existing debt, or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt, which could create pressures to sell assets or to issue additional equity when we would otherwise not choose to do so.
     Failure to Generate Sufficient Revenue Could Impair Debt Service Payments and Distributions to Stockholders. If our apartment communities do not generate sufficient net rental income to meet rental expenses, our ability to make required payments of interest and principal on our debt securities and to pay distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected. The following factors, among others, may affect the net rental income generated by our apartment communities:
    •   the national and local economies,
 
    •   local real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply of apartment homes,
 
    •   tenants’ perceptions of the safety, convenience, and attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where they are located,
 
    •   our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance, and
 
    •   rental expenses, including real estate taxes and utilities.
     Expenses associated with our investment in a community, such as debt service, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in rental income from that

community. If a community is mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make the mortgage payments, we could sustain a loss as a result of foreclosure on the community or the exercise of other remedies by the mortgage holder.
     Debt Level May Be Increased. Our current debt policy does not contain any limitations on the level of debt that we may incur, although our ability to incur debt is limited by covenants in our bank and other credit agreements. We manage our debt to be in compliance with these debt covenants, but subject to compliance with these covenants, we may increase the amount of our debt at any time without a concurrent improvement in our ability to service the additional debt.
     Financing May Not Be Available and Could be Dilutive. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including common and preferred equity. Debt or equity financing may not be available in sufficient amounts, or on favorable terms or at all. If we issue additional equity securities to finance developments and acquisitions instead of incurring debt, the interests of our existing stockholders could be diluted.
     Development and Construction Risks Could Impact Our Profitability. We intend to continue to develop and construct apartment communities. Development activities may be conducted through wholly owned affiliated companies or through joint ventures with unaffiliated parties. Our development and construction activities may be exposed to the following risks:
    •   we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased development costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project for which we are unable to obtain permits or authorizations,
 
    •   if we are unable to find joint venture partners to help fund the development of a community or otherwise obtain acceptable financing for the developments, our development capacity may be limited,
 
    •   we may abandon development opportunities that we have already begun to explore, and we may fail to recover expenses already incurred in connection with exploring such opportunities,
 
    •   we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of a community on schedule, or incur development or construction costs that exceed our original estimates, and we may be unable to charge rents that would compensate for any increase in such costs,
 
    •   occupancy rates and rents at a newly developed community may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, preventing us from meeting our profitability goals for that community, and
 
    •   when we sell to third parties homes or properties that we developed or renovated, we may be subject to warranty or construction defect claims that are uninsured or exceed the limits of our insurance.
     Construction costs have been increasing in our existing markets, and the costs of upgrading acquired communities have, in some cases, exceeded our original estimates. We may experience similar cost increases in the future. Our inability to charge rents that will be sufficient to offset the effects of any increases in these costs may impair our profitability.
     Failure to Succeed in New Markets May Limit Our Growth. We may from time to time make acquisitions outside of our existing market areas if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be exposed to a variety of risks if we choose to enter new markets, and we may not be able to operate successfully in new markets. These risks include, among others:
    •   inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market conditions and local economies,

13


Table of Contents

    •   inability to obtain land for development or to identify appropriate acquisition opportunities,
 
    •   inability to hire and retain key personnel, and
 
    •   lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures.
     Changing Interest Rates Could Increase Interest Costs and Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and the Market Price of Our Securities. We currently have, and expect to incur in the future, interest-bearing debt at rates that vary with market interest rates. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $578 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding, which constitutes approximately 18% of our total outstanding indebtedness as of such date. An increase in interest rates would increase our interest expenses to the extent our variable rate debt is not hedged effectively, and it would increase the costs of refinancing existing indebtedness and of issuing new debt. Accordingly, higher interest rates could adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service our debt and to make distributions to security holders. In addition, an increase in market interest rates may lead our security holders to demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our common and preferred stock and debt securities.
     Limited Investment Opportunities Could Adversely Affect Our Growth. We expect that other real estate investors will compete with us to acquire existing properties and to develop new properties. These competitors include insurance companies, pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment companies and other apartment REITs. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type that we would likely pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources than we do. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive investments on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our growth.
     Failure to Integrate Acquired Communities and New Personnel Could Create Inefficiencies. To grow successfully, we must be able to apply our experience in managing our existing portfolio of apartment communities to a larger number of properties. In addition, we must be able to integrate new management and operations personnel as our organization grows in size and complexity. Failures in either area will result in inefficiencies that could adversely affect our expected return on our investments and our overall profitability.
     Interest Rate Hedging Contracts May Be Ineffective and May Result in Material Charges. From time to time when we anticipate issuing debt securities, we may seek to limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates during the period prior to the pricing of the securities by entering into interest rate hedging contracts. We may do this to increase the predictability of our financing costs. Also, from time to time we may rely on interest rate hedging contracts to limit our exposure under variable rate debt to unfavorable changes in market interest rates. If the terms of new debt securities are not within the parameters of, or market interest rates fall below that which we incur under a particular interest rate hedging contract, the contract is ineffective. Furthermore, the settlement of interest rate hedging contracts has involved and may in the future involve material charges.
     Potential Liability for Environmental Contamination Could Result in Substantial Costs. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, as a current or former owner or operator of real estate, we could be required to investigate and remediate the effects of contamination of currently or formerly owned real estate by hazardous or toxic substances, often regardless of our knowledge of or responsibility for the contamination and solely by virtue of our current or former ownership or operation of the real estate. In addition, we could be held liable to a governmental authority or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination. These costs could be substantial, and in many cases environmental laws create liens in favor of governmental authorities to secure their payment. The presence of such substances or a failure to properly remediate any resulting contamination could materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property.
     We Would Incur Adverse Tax Consequences if We Fail to Qualify as a REIT. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Our qualification as a REIT requires us to satisfy numerous requirements, some on an annual and quarterly basis, established under highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. We intend that our current organization and method of operation enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT, but we may not so qualify or we may not be able to remain so qualified in the future. In addition, U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs and other corporations and the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time, potentially with retroactive effect. Future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT or adversely affect our stockholders.

14


Table of Contents

     If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and would not be allowed to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in computing our taxable income. Also, unless the Internal Revenue Service granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we first failed to qualify. The additional tax liability from the failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce or eliminate the amount of cash available for investment or distribution to our stockholders. This would likely have a significant adverse effect on the value of our securities and our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders. Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property.
     We May Conduct a Portion of Our Business Through Taxable REIT Subsidiaries, Which are Subject to Certain Tax Risks. We have established several taxable REIT subsidiaries. Despite our qualification as a REIT, our taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay income tax on their taxable income. In addition, we must comply with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our income from and investments in our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute permissible income and investments for these tests. While we will attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification, we cannot provide assurance that we will successfully achieve that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty tax, we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on real property sales, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not deemed to be arm’s length in nature or are otherwise not respected.
     Certain Property Transfers May Generate Prohibited Transaction Income, Resulting in a Penalty Tax on Gain Attributable to the Transaction. From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers of properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited transaction subject to a 100% penalty tax. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we do not believe that our occasional transfers or disposals of property are prohibited transactions. However, whether property is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are prohibited transactions. If the Internal Revenue Service were to argue successfully that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a prohibited transaction, then we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction and we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on real property sales. In addition, income from a prohibited transaction might adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
     Maryland Law May Limit the Ability of a Third Party to Acquire Control of Us, Which May Not be in Our Stockholders’ Best Interests. Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various Maryland laws which may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire our company and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General Corporation Law restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between us and any person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of our stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without our board of directors’ prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. Maryland law also provides generally that a person who acquires shares of our equity stock that represents 10% (and certain higher levels) of the voting power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote.
     Limitations on Share Ownership and Limitations on the Ability of Our Stockholders to Effect a Change in Control of Our Company May Prevent Takeovers That are Beneficial to Our Stockholders. One of the requirements for maintenance of our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes is that no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned by five or fewer individuals, including entities specified in the Internal Revenue Code, during the last half of any taxable year. Our charter contains ownership and transfer restrictions relating to our stock primarily to assist us in complying with this requirement. These restrictions include a provision that generally limits a person from beneficially owning or constructively owning shares of our outstanding equity stock in excess of a 9.9% ownership interest, unless our board of directors exempts the person from such ownership limitation, provided that any such exemption shall not allow the person to exceed 13% of the value of our

15


Table of Contents

outstanding equity stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us, even though a change of control might involve a premium price for our stockholders or might otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interests.
     Under the terms of our shareholder rights plan, our board of directors can, in effect, prevent a person or group from acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Unless our board of directors approves the person’s purchase, after that person acquires more than 15% of our outstanding common stock, all other stockholders will have the right to purchase securities from us at a price that is less than their then fair market value. Purchases by other stockholders would substantially reduce the value and influence of the shares of our common stock owned by the acquiring person. Our board of directors, however, can prevent the shareholder rights plan from operating in this manner. This gives our board of directors significant discretion to approve or disapprove a person’s efforts to acquire a large interest in us.

Distribution information for common stock reflects distributions declared per share for each calendar quarter and paid at the end of the following month.

     On February 24, 2006, the closing sale price of our common stock was $26.86 per share on the NYSE and there were 6,328 holders of record of the 134,286,524 outstanding shares of our common stock.
     We have determined that, for federal income tax purposes, approximately 53% of the distributions for each of the four quarters of 2005 represented ordinary income, 18% represented long-term capital gain, 11% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain, and 18% represented return of capital to our stockholders.
     We pay regular quarterly distributions to holders of shares of our common stock. Future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our actual funds from operations, financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and other factors. The annual distribution payment for calendar year 2005 necessary for us to maintain our status as a REIT was approximately $0.57 per share. We declared total distributions of $1.20 per share of common stock for 2005.
Series E Preferred Stock
     The Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $16.61 per share. Subject to certain adjustments and conditions, each share of the Series E is convertible at any time and from time to time at the holder’s option into one share of our common stock. The holders of the Series E are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis as a single class in combination with the holders of common stock at any

meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. The Series E has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or any mandatory redemption.
     Distributions declared on the Series E in 2005 were $1.33 per share or $0.3322 per quarter. The Series E is not listed on any exchange. At December 31, 2005 a total of 2,803,812 shares of the Series E were outstanding.
Series F Preferred Stock
     We are authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock. Our Series F Preferred Stock may be purchased by holders of our operating partnership units, or OP Units, described below under “Operating Partnership Units,” at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share. OP Unitholders are entitled to subscribe for and purchase one share of our Series F Preferred Stock for each OP Unit held. As of February 24, 2006, we have not issued any shares of our Series F Preferred Stock. If we issue shares of our Series F Preferred Stock, the holders thereof will be entitled to one vote for each share of the Series F Preferred Stock they hold, voting together with the holders of our common stock, on each matter submitted to a vote of securityholders at a meeting of our stockholders. The Series F Preferred Stock does not entitle its holders to any other rights, privileges or preferences.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
     We have a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan under which holders of our common stock and our Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock may elect to automatically reinvest their distributions and make additional cash payments to acquire additional shares of our common stock. Stockholders who do not participate in the plan continue to receive dividends as declared. As of February 24, 2006, there were 3,547 participants in the plan.
Operating Partnership Units
     From time to time we issue shares of our common stock in exchange for OP Units tendered to our operating partnerships, United Dominion Realty, L.P. and Heritage Communities L.P., for redemption in accordance with the provisions of their respective partnership agreements. At December 31, 2005, there were 10,177,792 OP Units (of which 1,764,662 are owned by the holders of the Series A OPPS (see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)) and 338,628 OP Units in United Dominion Realty, L.P. and Heritage Communities L.P., respectively, that were owned by limited partners. The holder of the OP Units has the right to require United Dominion Realty, L.P. to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the holder in exchange for a cash payment based on the market value of our common stock at the time of redemption. However, United Dominion Realty, L.P.’s obligation to pay the cash amount is subject to the prior right of the company to acquire such OP Units in exchange for either the cash amount or shares of our common stock. Heritage Communities L.P. OP Units are convertible into common stock in lieu of cash, at our option, once the holder elects to convert, at an exchange ratio of 1.575 shares for each OP Unit. During 2005, we issued a total of 99,573 shares of common stock in exchange for OP Units.

(b)   Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. This definition conforms with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s definition issued in April 2002. We consider FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and our operating performance and believe that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of our activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. For 2005, FFO includes $2.5 million of hurricane related insurance recoveries. For 2004, FFO includes a charge of $5.5 million to cover hurricane related expenses. For 2001, FFO includes a charge of $8.6 million related to workforce reductions, other severance costs, executive office relocation costs, and the write down of seven undeveloped land sites along with our investment in an online apartment leasing company. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, distributions to preferred stockholders exclude $5.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively, related to premiums on preferred stock conversions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through operating cash flows, the sale or maturity of existing assets, or by the acquisition of additional funds through capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations as determined by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment homes. We routinely use our unsecured bank credit facility to temporarily fund certain investing and financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing. During the past several years, proceeds from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing activities.
     We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit arrangements. We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities, the repayment of financing on development activities, and potential property acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the disposition of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and the payment of dividends by the company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short- and long-term. Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from property operations.
     We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units to facilitate future financing activities in the public capital markets. This shelf registration statement replaces our previous $1.5 billion shelf registration statement. In 2005, we completed various financing activities under our previous $1.5 billion shelf registration statement. These activities are summarized in the section titled “Financing Activities” that follows. Access to capital markets is dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.
Future Capital Needs
     Future development expenditures are expected to be funded with proceeds from the sale of property, with construction loans, through joint ventures and, to a lesser extent, with cash flows provided by operating activities. Acquisition activity in strategic markets is expected to be largely financed through the issuance of equity and debt securities, the issuance of operating partnership units, the assumption or placement of secured and/or unsecured debt, and by the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties.
     During 2006, we have approximately $36.6 million of secured debt and $135.2 million of unsecured debt maturing and we anticipate repaying that debt with proceeds from borrowings under our secured or unsecured credit facilities, the issuance of new unsecured debt securities or equity, or from disposition proceeds.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our critical accounting policies are those having the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. These policies include those related to (1) capital expenditures, (2) impairment of long-lived assets, and (3) real estate investment properties. With respect to these critical accounting policies, we believe that the application of judgments and assessments is consistently applied and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.
Capital Expenditures
     In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we capitalize those expenditures related to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially

24


Table of Contents

extending the useful life of an existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.
     During 2005, $156.1 million or $2,062 per home was spent on capital expenditures for all of our communities, excluding development and commercial properties. These capital improvements included turnover related expenditures for floor coverings and appliances, other recurring capital expenditures such as HVAC equipment, roofs, siding, parking lots, and other non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, which aggregated $38.8 million or $513 per home. In addition, revenue enhancing capital expenditures, kitchen and bath upgrades, and other extensive interior upgrades totaled $98.6 million or $1,302 per home, and major renovations totaled $18.7 million or $247 per home for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs for all of our communities, excluding real estate under development and commercial properties for the periods presented:

     Total capital improvements increased $73.9 million or $990 per home for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was attributable to $18.7 million of major renovations at certain of our properties. These renovations included the re-wiring and/or re-plumbing of an entire building as well as major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to existing buildings. The increase was also attributable to an additional $52.7 million being invested in revenue enhancing improvements. We will continue to selectively add revenue enhancing improvements which we believe will provide a return on investment substantially in excess of our cost of capital. Recurring capital expenditures during 2006 are currently expected to be approximately $530 per home.
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair market value. Our estimates of fair market value represent our best estimate based upon industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
  Real Estate Investment Properties
     We purchase real estate investment properties from time to time and allocate the purchase price to various components, such as land, buildings, and intangibles related to in-place leases in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all

25


Table of Contents

cash flows expected to be generated from the property including an initial lease-up period. We determine the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. In addition, we consider the cost of acquiring similar leases, the foregone rents associated with the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period. The fair value of in-place leases is recorded and amortized as amortization expense over the remaining contractual lease period.
Statements of Cash Flow
     The following discussion explains the changes in net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing and financing activities that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
  Operating Activities
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, our net cash flow provided by operating activities was $248.2 million compared to $251.7 million for 2004. During 2005, the slight decrease in cash flow from operating activities resulted primarily from a $47.2 million increase in interest expense that was primarily offset by a $9.1 million net increase in operating assets/liabilities for the period, and a $32.6 million increase in property operating results from our apartment community portfolio (see discussion under “Apartment Community Operations”).
  Investing Activities
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in investing activities was $219.0 million compared to $596.0 million for 2004. Changes in the level of investing activities from period to period reflects our strategy as it relates to our acquisition, capital expenditure, development, and disposition programs, as well as the impact of the capital market environment on these activities, all of which are discussed in further detail below.
     Acquisitions
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, we acquired eight apartment communities with 2,561 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $390.9 million and one parcel of land for $2.9 million. For 2004, we acquired 28 apartment communities with 8,060 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $390.9 million and one parcel of land for $16.3 million. Our long-term strategic plan is to achieve greater operating efficiencies by investing in fewer, more concentrated markets. As a result, we have been expanding our interests in the fast growing Southern California, Florida, and Metropolitan Washington DC markets over the past two years. During 2006, we plan to continue to channel new investments into those markets we believe will provide the best investment returns. Markets will be targeted based upon defined criteria including past performance, expected job growth, current and anticipated housing supply and demand, and the ability to attract and support household formation.
     Real Estate Under Development
     Development activity is focused in core markets in which we have strong operations in place. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we invested approximately $49.3 million in development projects, an increase of $30.2 million from our 2004 level of $19.1 million.
     The following projects were under development as of December 31, 2005:

     Disposition of Investments
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, United Dominion sold 22 communities with 6,352 apartment homes and 240 condominiums from five communities with a total of 648 condominiums for a gross consideration of $456.3 million. In addition, we sold our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture for $39.2 million and one parcel of land for $0.9 million. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $143.5 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were used primarily to reduce debt and acquire additional communities. In connection with our third quarter portfolio sale of ten communities in Texas and North Carolina, we received short-term notes of $124.7 million. These notes had maturities ranging from September 2005 to July 2006. As of December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on these notes was $59.8 million, bearing interest at 6.75%.
     For the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold 19 communities with 5,425 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $270.1 million. In addition, we sold 24 of 36 townhomes of a community for $7.3 million. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $52.9 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were used primarily to reduce debt.
     During 2006, we plan to continue to pursue our strategy of exiting markets where long-term growth prospects are limited and redeploying capital into markets that would enhance future growth rates and economies of scale. We intend to use the proceeds from 2006 dispositions to reduce debt, acquire communities, and fund development activity.
  Financing Activities
     Net cash used in financing activities during 2005 was $21.5 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $347.3 million in 2004. As part of the plan to improve our balance sheet, we utilized proceeds from dispositions, equity and debt offerings, and refinancings to extend maturities, pay down existing debt, and purchase new properties.
     The following is a summary of our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005:
     §   Repaid $133.8 million of secured debt and $70.9 million of unsecured debt, and incurred $8.5 million in prepayment penalties.
 
     §   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in February 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured

    notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The February 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $150 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
§   Sold our shares in Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, in February 2005. As a result, we received cash proceeds and recorded a one-time gain of $12.3 million on the sale. As part of the transaction, an additional $0.8 million was placed in escrow and will be recorded as revenue when received.
 
§   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in March 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The March 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $200 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
§   Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in May 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The May 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $250 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.
 
§   Amended and restated our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and extended the term an additional two years. The credit facility matures on May 31, 2008, and, at our option, can be extended for an additional year. We have the right to increase the credit facility to $750 million if the initial lenders increase their commitments or we receive commitments from additional lenders. Based on our current credit ratings, the credit facility carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 57.5 basis points, which represents a 12.5 basis point reduction to the previous unsecured revolver, and the facility fee was reduced from 20 basis points to 15 basis points. Under a competitive bid feature and for so long as we maintain an Investment Grade Rating, we have the right to bid out 100% of the commitment amount.
 
§   Converted a $75 million variable rate debt facility to a fixed rate of 4.86% on December 1, 2005.
 
§   Sold $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% medium-term notes due January 2016 in September 2005 under our medium-term note program. The net proceeds of approximately $100 million were used for debt repayment.
 
§   Sold $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2035 in December 2005. We used the net proceeds of approximately $245 million to repay outstanding debt under our unsecured revolving bank credit facility and to repurchase shares of our common stock.
 
§   Repurchased 1,069,500 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $22.08 under our common stock repurchase program and repurchased 2,110,850 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $23.51 in connection with the offering of our 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2035. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock remained available for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.
     Credit Facilities
     We have four secured revolving credit facilities with Fannie Mae with an aggregate commitment of $860 million. As of December 31, 2005, $656.3 million was outstanding under the Fannie Mae credit facilities leaving $203.7 million of unused capacity. The Fannie Mae credit facilities are for an initial term of ten years, bear interest at floating and fixed rates, and can be extended for an additional five years at our discretion. We have $363.9 million of the funded balance fixed at a weighted average interest rate of 6.1%. The remaining balance on these facilities is currently at a weighted average variable rate of 4.7%.

     We have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in May 2008 and, at our option, can be extended an additional year. We have the right to increase the credit facility to $750 million under certain circumstances. Based on our current credit ratings, the credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 57.5 basis points. As of December 31, 2005, $210.8 million was outstanding under the credit facility leaving $289.2 million of unused capacity.
     The Fannie Mae credit facility and the bank revolving credit facility are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations.
     Interest Rate Risk
     We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes payable and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. United Dominion does not hold financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather issues these financial instruments to finance its portfolio of real estate assets. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Our earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates impact our cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. A large portion of our market risk is exposure to short-term interest rates from variable rate borrowings outstanding under our Fannie Mae credit facility and our bank revolving credit facility, which totaled $292.5 million and $210.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005. The impact on our financial statements of refinancing fixed rate debt that matured during 2005 was immaterial.
     If market interest rates for variable rate debt average 100 basis points more in 2006 than they did during 2005, our interest expense would increase, and income before taxes would decrease by $6.0 million. Comparatively, if market interest rates for variable rate debt had averaged 100 basis points more in 2005 than in 2004, our interest expense would have increased, and net income would have decreased by $7.4 million. If market rates for fixed rate debt were 100 basis points higher at December 31, 2005, the fair value of fixed rate debt would have decreased from $2.6 billion to $2.4 billion. If market interest rates for fixed rate debt were 100 basis points lower at December 31, 2005, the fair value of fixed rate debt would have increased from $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion.
     These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost. These analyses do not consider the effects of the adjusted level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.
Funds from Operations
     Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the recommendations set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) April 1, 2002 White Paper. We consider FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and our operating performance, and believe that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of our activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
     Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance and defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The use of FFO, combined with the required presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among

29


Table of Contents

the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We generally consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. We believe that FFO is the best measure of economic profitability for real estate investment trusts.
     The following table outlines our FFO calculation and reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles for the three years ended December 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Weighted average number of common shares, OP Units, and common stock equivalents outstanding — diluted
    150,141       145,842       136,975  
     In the computation of diluted FFO, OP Units, out-performance partnership shares, and the shares of Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive; therefore, they are included in the diluted share count. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, distributions to preferred stockholders exclude $5.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively, related to premiums on preferred stock conversions.
     Net incremental gains on the sale of condominium homes and the net incremental gain on the sale of a depreciable asset related to an unconsolidated entity are defined as net sales proceeds less a tax provision and the gross investment basis of the asset before accumulated depreciation. We consider FFO with gains/losses on the sale of condominium homes and gains/losses on the sale of depreciable assets related to an unconsolidated entity to be a meaningful supplemental measure of performance because the short-term use of funds produce a profit that differs from the traditional long-term investment in real estate for REITs.

Results of Operations
     The following discussion includes the results of both continuing and discontinued operations for the periods presented.
  Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
     2005-vs.-2004
     Net income available to common stockholders was $139.8 million ($1.02 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $71.9 million ($0.56 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2004, representing an increase of $67.9 million ($0.46 per diluted share). The increase for the year ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004, resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:
            $90.6 million more in gains recognized from the sale of depreciable property and an unconsolidated joint venture in 2005,
            a $32.6 million increase in apartment community operating results in 2005,
            a $14.2 million increase in non-property income in 2005,

    a $5.7 million decrease in premiums paid on preferred stock conversions in 2005,
 
    a $5.5 million charge recorded for hurricane related expenses in 2004,
 
    $4.2 million less in preferred stock distributions in 2005, and
 
    $2.5 million in hurricane related insurance recoveries in 2005.
     These increases in income were partially offset by a $38.7 million increase in interest expense, a $31.8 million increase in real estate depreciation and amortization expense, an $8.5 million increase in losses on early debt retirement, and a $5.5 million increase in general and administrative expense in 2005 when compared to 2004.
     2004-vs.-2003
     Net income available to common stockholders was $71.9 million ($0.56 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $24.8 million ($0.22 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $47.1 million ($0.34 per diluted share). The increase for the year ended December 31, 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003, resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:
    $37.0 million more in gains recognized from the sale of depreciable property in 2004,
 
    a $19.2 million increase in apartment community operating results in 2004,
 
    a $13.5 million decrease in premiums paid on preferred stock conversions in 2004,
 
    $6.8 million less in preferred stock distributions in 2004,
 
    a $1.5 million increase in non-property income in 2004,
 
    $1.4 million less in impairment loss on investments in 2004, and
 
    a $1.3 million decrease in general and administrative expense in 2004.
     These increases in income were partially offset by a $17.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, a $6.6 million increase in interest expense, and a charge of $5.5 million for hurricane related expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003.

  Same Communities
     Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to September 30, 2004 and held on December 31, 2005, which consisted of 58,840 apartment homes) provided 73% of our property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, same community property operating income increased 3.4% or $10.3 million compared to 2004. The increase in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 3.8% or $18.6 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was partially offset by a 4.4% or $8.3 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 2.0% or $10.3 million increase in rental rates, a 20.2% or $2.9 million decrease in concession expense, a 7.5% or $2.6 million increase in utility reimbursement income and fee income, a 7.8% or $2.5 million decrease in vacancy loss, and a 15.6% or $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense. Physical occupancy increased 0.6% to 94.5%.
     The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 4.3% or $2.0 million increase in real estate taxes, a 3.8% or $1.9 million increase in personnel costs, a 3.8% or $1.1 million increase in utilities expense, a 2.9% or $0.9 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 4.7% or $0.8 million increase in administrative and marketing costs, a 46.7% or $0.7 million increase in incentive compensation, and a 5.4% or $0.5 million increase in insurance costs.
     As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income and property operating expenses, the operating margin (property operating income divided by property rental income) decreased 0.3% to 61.5%.
     Non-Mature Communities
     The remaining 27% of our property operating income during 2005 was generated from communities that we classify as “non-mature communities” (primarily those communities acquired or developed in 2003, 2004 and 2005, sold properties, and those properties classified as real estate held for disposition). The 41 communities with 12,458 apartment homes that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2003, and in 2004 and 2005, provided $87.5 million of property operating income. The 22 communities with 6,352 apartment homes and 240 condominiums sold during 2005 provided $10.0 million of property operating income. In addition, our development communities, which included 244 apartment homes constructed since January 1, 2003, provided $0.7 million of property operating income during 2005, the four communities with a total of 384 condominiums classified as real estate held for disposition provided $0.3 million of property operating income, and other non-mature communities which includes homes that are undergoing major rehabilitation, provided $17.5

     Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to December 31, 2003 and held on December 31, 2004, which consisted of 62,497 apartment homes) provided 78% of our property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004.
     For 2004, same community property operating income decreased 1.2% or $3.9 million compared to 2003. The overall decrease in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 0.5% or $2.3 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was offset by a 3.2% or $6.2 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 7.7% or $2.8 million decrease in vacancy loss and a 14.3% or $2.1 million increase in utility reimbursement income. These increases in income were offset by a 0.7% or $3.6 million decrease in rental rates. Physical occupancy increased 0.8% to 93.8%.
     The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 5.4% or $2.8 million increase in personnel costs, a 4.7% or $1.5 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 3.5% or $1.1 million increase in utilities expense, and a 1.6% or $0.8 million increase in property taxes.
     As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income and property operating expenses, the operating margin decreased 1.0% to 61.0%.
  Non-Mature Communities
     The remaining 22% of our property operating income during 2004 was generated from communities that we classify as “non-mature communities” (primarily those communities acquired or developed during 2003 and 2004, sold properties, and those properties classified as real estate held for disposition). The 39 communities with 11,574 apartment homes that we acquired during 2003 and 2004 provided $45.8 million of property operating income. The 19 communities with 5,425 apartment homes sold during 2004 provided $14.4 million of property operating income. In addition, our development communities, which included 178 apartment homes constructed since January 1, 2003, provided $1.0 million of property operating income during 2004, the 12 communities with 2,635 apartment homes classified as real estate held for disposition provided $11.3 million of property operating income, and other non-mature communities provided $13.5 million of property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, real estate depreciation and amortization on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $31.8 million or 17.6% compared to 2004, primarily due to the significant increase in the per home acquisition cost compared to the existing portfolio, and other capital expenditures.
     For the year ended December 31, 2004, real estate depreciation and amortization on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $17.2 million or 10.5% compared to 2003, primarily due to the overall increase in the weighted average number of apartment homes, the significant increase in the per home acquisition cost compared to the existing portfolio, and other capital expenditures.
Interest Expense
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, interest expense on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $47.2 million or 38.1% from 2004 primarily due to the issuance of debt and $8.5 million in prepayment penalties. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the weighted average amount of debt outstanding increased 30.7% or $697.4 million compared to 2004 and the weighted average interest rate increased from 5.0% to 5.3% during 2005. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding during 2005 is higher than 2004 as acquisition costs in 2005 have been funded, in most part, by the issuance of debt. The increase in the weighted average interest rate during 2005 reflects short-term bank borrowings and variable rate debt that had higher interest rates when compared

to the prior year.
     For the year ended December 31, 2004, interest expense on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $6.8 million or 5.8% from 2003 primarily due to the issuance of debt. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the weighted average amount of debt outstanding increased 21.2% or $435.9 million compared to the prior year. However, this was partially offset by the weighted average interest rate declining from 5.4% to 5.0% during 2004. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding during 2004 is higher than 2003 as acquisition costs in 2004 have been funded, in most part, by the issuance of debt. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate during 2004 reflects our ability to take advantage of lower interest rates through refinancing and the utilization of variable rate debt.
General and Administrative
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased $5.5 million or 28.5% over 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in personnel and incentive compensation costs, an operating lease on an airplane, compliance costs and an operations improvement initiative.
     For the year ended December 31, 2004, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million or 6.4% over 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in investor relations, legal and consulting expenses.
Hurricane Related Expenses and Hurricane Related Insurance Recoveries
     In 2005, $2.5 million of hurricane related insurance recoveries were recorded. In 2004, we recognized a $5.5 million charge to cover expenses associated with the damage in Florida caused by hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne. United Dominion reported that 25 of its 34 Florida communities were affected by the hurricanes.
Impairment Loss on Real Estate and Investments
     In 2003, we recognized a $1.4 million charge for the write-off of our investment in Realeum, Inc., an unconsolidated development joint venture created to develop web-based solutions for multifamily property and portfolio management.
Gains on the Sale of Land, Depreciable Property and an Unconsolidated Joint Venture
     For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $143.5 million and $52.9 million, respectively. Changes in the level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our divestiture activity from period to period as well as the extent of gains related to specific properties sold.
Premium on Preferred Stock Conversions
     In the fourth quarter of 2004, we exercised our right to redeem 2 million shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,769 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. As a result, we recognized a $5.7 million premium on preferred stock conversions.
     In the second quarter of 2003, we exercised our right to redeem 2 million shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,923 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. In December 2003, we exercised our right to redeem an additional 4 million shares of our Series D preferred stock. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 6,154,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. As a result, we recognized a $19.3 million premium on preferred stock conversions during 2003.

     The premium amount recognized to convert these shares represents the cumulative accretion to date between the conversion value of the preferred stock and the value at which it was recorded at the time of issuance.
eBay Purchase of Rent.com
     On December 16, 2004, eBay announced that it had agreed to acquire privately held Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, for approximately $415 million plus acquisition costs, net of Rent.com’s cash on hand. On February 23, 2005, eBay announced that it had completed the acquisition. We owned shares in Rent.com, and as a result of the transaction, we recorded a one-time pre-tax gain of $12.3 million on the sale.
Inflation
     We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less which generally minimizes our risk from the adverse effects of inflation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.
Contractual Obligations
     The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):
                                         
    Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations   Total   2006   2007-2008   2009-2010   Thereafter

     During 2005, we incurred interest costs of $165.5 million, of which $2.8 million was capitalized.
Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects
     There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
    unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates,
 
    the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results,
 
    possible difficulty in selling apartment communities,
 
    the timing and closing of planned dispositions under agreement,
 
    competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease apartment homes or increase or maintain rents,
 
    insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and create refinancing risk,

  failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our debt service payments and distributions to stockholders,
 
  development and construction risks that may impact our profitability,
 
  potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes and other weather-related events, which could result in substantial costs,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Board of Directors and Stockholders
United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included at Item 9A, that United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. and our report dated February 17, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 17, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and formation
     United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed in 1972. United Dominion operates within one defined business segment with activities related to the ownership, management, development, acquisition, renovation, and disposition of multifamily apartment communities nationwide. At December 31, 2005, United Dominion owned 259 communities with 74,875 completed apartment homes and had five communities with 1,335 apartment homes under development.
Basis of presentation
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Dominion and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), and Heritage Communities L.P. (the “Heritage OP”), (collectively, “United Dominion”). As of December 31, 2005, there were 166,300,080 units in the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 156,122,288 units or 93.9% were owned by United Dominion and 10,177,792 units or 6.1% were owned by limited partners (of which 1,764,662 are owned by the holders of the Series A OPPS, see below). As of December 31, 2005, there were 5,542,200 units in the Heritage OP outstanding, of which 5,203,572 units or 93.9% were owned by United Dominion and 338,628 units or 6.1% were owned by limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of United Dominion include the minority interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and the Heritage OP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
     The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
Real estate
     Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any recorded impairment losses.
     Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to the acquisition and/or improvement of real estate assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the value of the existing asset will be materially enhanced or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.
     United Dominion recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when there is an event or change in circumstance that indicates an impairment in the value of an asset and the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. If such indicators of impairment are present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. Our estimates of fair market value represent our best estimate based upon industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.
     United Dominion purchases real estate investment properties from time to time and allocates the purchase price to various components, such as land, buildings, and intangibles related to in-place leases in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
cash flows expected to be generated from the property including an initial lease up period. United Dominion determines the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. The fair value of in-place leases is recorded and amortized as amortization expense over the remaining contractual lease period. United Dominion determines the fair value of in-place leases by considering the cost of acquiring similar leases, the foregone rents associated with the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period.
     For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the asset. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are under contract for sale. Real estate held for disposition is carried at the lower of cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or fair value, less the cost to dispose, determined on an asset-by-asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs on held for disposition properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to held for disposition properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held for disposition.
     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which is 35 years for buildings, 10 to 35 years for major improvements, and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other assets. The value of acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining term of each acquired in-place lease.
     All development projects and related carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Real estate under development.” As each building in a project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the total cost of the building is transferred to real estate held for investment and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of development projects includes interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development overhead during the construction period.
     Interest, real estate taxes, and incremental labor and support costs for personnel working directly on the development site are capitalized as part of the real estate under development to the extent that such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net realizable value. During 2005, 2004, and 2003, total interest capitalized was $2.8 million, $1.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively.
Cash equivalents
     Cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted cash
     Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, and security deposits.
Deferred financing costs
     Deferred financing costs include fees and other external costs incurred to obtain debt financings and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over a period not to exceed the term of the related debt. Unamortized financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before its maturity date. During 2005, 2004, and 2003, amortization expense was $6.5 million, $5.1 million, and $4.7 million, respectively.
Investments in unconsolidated development joint ventures
     Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method when major business decisions require approval by the other partners and United Dominion does not have control of the assets. Investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions

and distributions. United Dominion eliminates intercompany profits on sales of services that are provided to joint ventures. Differences between the carrying value of investments and the underlying equity in net assets of the investee are due to capitalized interest on the investment balance and capitalized development and leasing costs that are recovered by United Dominion through fees during construction.
Revenue recognition
     United Dominion’s apartment homes are leased under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Rental income is recognized after it is earned and collectability is reasonably assured.
Advertising costs
     All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the line item “Administrative and marketing.” During 2005, 2004, and 2003, total advertising expense was $11.2 million, $10.5 million, and $10.6 million, respectively.
Interest rate swap agreements
     United Dominion accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” At December 31, 2005, United Dominion has no derivative financial instruments reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to their maturity in July 2004, United Dominion’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swap agreements that were designated as cash flow hedges of debt with variable interest rate features, and as qualifying hedges for financial reporting purposes. For a derivative instrument that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.
     As part of United Dominion’s overall interest rate risk management strategy, we used derivative financial instruments as a means to artificially fix variable rate debt or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. United Dominion’s derivative transactions used for interest rate risk management included various interest rate swaps with indices that related to the pricing of specific financial instruments of United Dominion. Because of the close correlation between the hedging instrument and the underlying cash flow exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments were generally offset by changes in the cash flow of the underlying exposures. As a result, United Dominion appropriately controlled the risk so that derivatives used for interest rate risk management would not have a material unintended effect on consolidated earnings. United Dominion does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
     The fair value of United Dominion’s derivative instruments were reported on the balance sheet at their current fair value. The estimated fair value for our interest rate swaps relied on prevailing market interest rates. The interest rate swap agreements were designated with all or a portion of the principal balance and term of a specific debt obligation. Each interest rate swap involved the periodic exchange of payments over the life of the related agreement. An amount received or paid on the interest rate swap was recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to the related interest expense of the outstanding debt based on the accrual method of accounting. The related amount payable to and receivable from counterparties was included in other liabilities and other assets, respectively.
     When the terms of the underlying transaction were modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceased to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument were marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income each period until the instrument matured, unless the instrument was redesignated as a hedge of another transaction. If a derivative instrument was terminated or the hedging transaction was no longer determined to be effective, amounts held in accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified into earnings over the term of the future cash outflows on the related debt.

Comprehensive income
     Comprehensive income, which is defined as all changes in equity during each period except for those resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders, is displayed in the accompanying Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Other comprehensive income for 2004 and 2003 consisted of unrealized gains or losses from derivative financial instruments.
Stock-based employee compensation plans
     United Dominion adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the prospective method described in FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Currently, United Dominion uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Because Statement 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because United Dominion adopted Statement 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under Statement 123 will be recognized under Statement 123(R). We do not anticipate that the adoption of Statement 123(R) will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Minority interests in operating partnerships
     Interests in operating partnerships held by limited partners are represented by operating partnership units (“OP Units”). The operating partnerships’ income is allocated to holders of OP Units based upon net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to minority interests in accordance with the terms of the individual partnership agreements. OP Units can be exchanged for cash or shares of United Dominion’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, at the option of United Dominion. OP Units, as a percentage of total OP Units and shares outstanding, were 5.9% at December 31, 2005, 6.3% at December 31, 2004, and 6.4% at December 31, 2003.
     During 2003, we issued 1,617,815 Preferred Operating Partnership Units (“Preferred OP Units”) totaling $26.9 million as partial consideration for the purchase of four communities. The Preferred OP Units carry a fixed coupon of 8.0% ($1.33 per share) until such time as the common share dividend is equal to or exceeds this amount for four consecutive quarters, at which time the Preferred OP Units will be entitled to receive dividends equivalent to the dividend paid to holders of common stock.
Minority interests in other partnerships
     United Dominion has limited partners in certain real estate partnerships acquired in certain merger transactions. Net income for these partnerships is allocated based upon the percentage interest owned by these limited partners in each respective real estate partnership.
Earnings per share
     Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based upon common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock method based on United Dominion’s average stock price.

     The effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units, Series A Out-Performance Partnership Shares, and convertible preferred stock is not dilutive and is therefore not included in the above calculations. If the operating partnership units were converted to common stock, the additional shares of common stock outstanding for the three years ended December 31, 2005, would be 10,324,037, 10,460,639, and 9,690,883 weighted average common shares, respectively. If the Series A Out-Performance Partnership Shares were converted to common stock, the additional shares of common stock outstanding for the three years ended December 31, 2005, would be 1,778,251, 1,791,329, and 1,853,204 weighted average common shares, respectively. If the convertible preferred stock were converted to common stock, the additional shares of common stock outstanding for the three years ended December 31, 2005, would be 2,803,812, 6,301,821, and 11,636,293 weighted average common shares, respectively.
Income taxes
     United Dominion is operated as, and elects to be taxed as, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Generally, a REIT complies with the provisions of the Code if it meets certain requirements concerning its income and assets, as well as if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if it distributes at least 100% of its income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes of the REIT. United Dominion is subject to certain state and local excise or franchise taxes, for which provision has been made. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income will be subject to United States Federal income tax at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax). Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes and to United States Federal income tax. We also will be required to pay a 100% tax on non-arms length transactions between us and a taxable REIT subsidiary and on any net income from sales of property that the IRS successfully asserts was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course.
     The differences between net income available to common stockholders for financial reporting purposes and taxable income before dividend deductions relate primarily to temporary differences, principally real estate depreciation and the tax deferral of certain gains on property sales. The differences in depreciation result from differences in the book and tax basis of certain real estate assets and the differences in the methods of depreciation and lives of the real estate assets.
Impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements
     In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47). A conditional asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to retire assets where the timing and/or method of settlement are conditioned on future events. FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. We adopted the provisions of FIN 47 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The adoption of this Interpretation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF Issue 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (Issue 04-05). The effective date for Issue 04-05 is June 29, 2005 for all new or modified partnerships and January 1, 2006 for our remaining partnerships for the applicable provisions. The adoption of the provisions of EITF 04-05 is not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
2. REAL ESTATE OWNED
     United Dominion operates in 43 markets dispersed throughout 16 states. At December 31, 2005, our largest apartment market was Southern California, where we owned 19.8% of our apartment homes, based upon carrying value. Excluding Southern California, United Dominion did not own more than 6.7% of its apartment homes in any one market, based upon carrying value.

     In 2005, $2.5 million of hurricane related insurance recoveries were recorded. In 2004, United Dominion recognized a $5.5 million charge to cover expenses associated with the damage in Florida caused by hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne. United Dominion reported that 25 of its 34 Florida communities were affected by the hurricanes.

3. INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     United Dominion adopted FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (FAS 144) as of January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires, among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results of operations of United Dominion’s real properties which have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2002, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1, 2002, be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in United Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within the next twelve months. For purposes of these financial statements, FAS 144 results in the presentation of the primary assets and liabilities and the net operating results of those properties sold or classified as held for disposition through December 31, 2005, as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption of FAS 144 does not have an impact on net income available to common stockholders. FAS 144 only results in the reclassification of the operating results of all properties sold or classified as held for disposition through December 31, 2005 within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, and the reclassification of the assets and liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
     For the year ended December 31, 2005, United Dominion sold 22 communities with a total of 6,352 apartment homes, 240 condominiums from five communities with a total of 648 condominiums, and one parcel of land. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $139.7 million on these sales. At December 31, 2005, United Dominion had four communities with a total of 384 condominiums and a net book value of $29.1 million, and two

parcels of land with a net book value of $5.2 million included in real estate held for disposition. In conjunction with the sale of ten communities in July 2005, we received short-term notes for $124.7 million that bear interest at 6.75% and had maturities ranging from September 2005 to July 2006. As of December 31, 2005, the balance on the notes receivable was $59.8 million. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $15.2 million and will recognize $6.4 million in additional gains in 2006 as the notes receivable mature and are paid. During 2004, United Dominion sold 19 communities with a total of 5,425 apartment homes, 24 condominiums from a community of 36 condominiums, and one parcel of land. During 2003, United Dominion sold seven communities with a total of 1,927 apartment homes and two commercial properties. The results of operations for these properties and the interest expense associated with the secured debt on these properties are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item entitled “Income from discontinued operations, net of minority interests.”

(a)   During the second quarter of 2005, United Dominion amended and restated its $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and extended the term an additional two years. The credit facility matures on May 31, 2008, and at United Dominion’s option, can be extended for an additional year. United Dominion has the right to increase the credit facility to $750 million if the initial lenders increase their commitments or we receive commitments from additional lenders. Based on United Dominion’s current credit ratings, the credit facility carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 57.5 basis points, which represents a 12.5 basis point reduction to the previous unsecured revolver, and the facility fee was reduced from 20 basis points to 15 basis points. Under a competitive bid feature and for so long as United Dominion maintains an Investment Grade Rating, United Dominion has the right to bid out 100% of the commitment amount.
 
(b)   Prior to December 15, 2030, upon the occurrence of specified events, the notes will be convertible at the option of the holder into cash and, in certain circumstances, shares of United Dominion’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 35.2988 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which equates to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.33 per share). On or after December 15, 2030, the notes will be convertible at any time prior to the second business day prior to maturity at the option of the holder into cash and, in certain circumstances, shares of United Dominion’s common stock at the above initial conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
     United Dominion’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) allows common and preferred stockholders the opportunity to purchase, through the reinvestment of cash dividends, additional shares of United Dominion’s common stock. As of December 31, 2005, 9,849,009 shares of common stock had been issued under the Stock Purchase Plan. Shares in the amount of 15,150,991 were reserved for further issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2005. During 2005, 55,818 shares were issued under the Stock Purchase Plan for a total consideration of approximately $1.3 million.
Restricted Stock Awards
     United Dominion’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) authorizes the grant of restricted stock awards to employees, officers, consultants, and directors of United Dominion. Deferred compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period and is based upon the value of the common stock on the date of issuance. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we recognized $3.2 million, $2.7 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of restricted stock. As of December 31, 2005, 903,481 shares of restricted stock have been issued under the LTIP.
Shareholder Rights Plan
     United Dominion’s First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement is intended to protect long-term interests of stockholders in the event of an unsolicited, coercive or unfair attempt to take over United Dominion. The plan authorized a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (the “Rights”) on each share of common stock outstanding. Each Right, which is not currently exercisable, will entitle the holder to purchase 1/1000 of a share of a

new series of United Dominion’s preferred stock, to be designated as Series C Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, at a price to be determined upon the occurrence of the event, and for which the holder must be paid $45 should the takeover occur. Under the Plan, the rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires more than 15% of United Dominion’s common stock or announces a tender offer that would result in the ownership of 15% of United Dominion’s common stock.
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The following estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by United Dominion using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts United Dominion would realize on the disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of United Dominion’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
                                 
    2005   2004
    Carrying   Fair   Carrying   Fair
    Amount   Value   Amount   Value
Secured debt
  $ 1,116,259     $ 1,123,108     $ 1,197,924     $ 1,228,953  
Unsecured debt
    2,043,518       2,032,211       1,682,058       1,654,760  
     The following methods and assumptions were used by United Dominion in estimating fair values.
Cash equivalents
     The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Notes receivable
     In July 2005, United Dominion received short-term notes in the principal amount of $124.7 million that bear interest at 6.75% and had maturities ranging from September 2005 to July 2006. The notes were received in conjunction with the sale of ten communities. As of December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on these notes was $59.8 million. In June 2003, United Dominion received a promissory note in the principal amount of $5 million that is due October 2011. The note was received in connection with one of our acquisitions and bears interest of 9.0% that is payable in annual installments. The carrying amount of these notes receivable approximate their fair value.
Secured and unsecured debt
     Estimated fair value is based on mortgage rates, tax-exempt bond rates, and corporate unsecured debt rates believed to be available to United Dominion for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining lives. The carrying amount of United Dominion’s variable rate secured debt approximates fair value as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. The carrying amounts of United Dominion’s borrowings under variable rate unsecured debt arrangements, short-term revolving credit agreements, and lines of credit approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Derivative financial instruments
     At December 31, 2005, United Dominion has no derivative financial instruments reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
     For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, United Dominion recognized $1.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of unrealized gains in comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2004, United

For the year ended December 31, 2003, United Dominion recognized $0.3 million in realized gains in net income related to the ineffective portion of United Dominion’s hedging instruments.
8. INCOME TAXES
     The aggregate cost of our real estate assets for federal income tax purposes was approximately $4.9 billion at December 31, 2005.
     The following table reconciles United Dominion’s net income to REIT taxable income for the three years ended December 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

     For income tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders may consist of ordinary income, capital gains, and non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits constitute a return of capital rather than taxable income and reduce the stockholder’s basis in their common shares. To the extent that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the stockholder’s basis in the common shares, it generally will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of that stockholder’s common shares. For the three years ended December 31, 2005, distributions declared per common share were taxable as follows:

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Profit Sharing Plan
     The United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time employees. Under the Plan, United Dominion makes discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions to the Plan as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Aggregate

UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
provisions for contributions, both matching and discretionary, which are included in United Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $0.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
Stock Option Plan
     In May 2001, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), which supersedes the 1985 Stock Option Plan. With the approval of the LTIP, no additional grants will be made under the 1985 Stock Option Plan. The LTIP authorizes the granting of awards which may take the form of options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, and any other right or interest relating to common stock or cash. The Board of Directors reserved 4 million shares for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards under the LTIP. The LTIP generally provides, among other things, that options are granted at exercise prices not lower than the market value of the shares on the date of grant and that options granted must be exercised within ten years. The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued subject to incentive stock options is 4 million shares. Shares under options that expire or are cancelable are available for subsequent grant.
     United Dominion adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the prospective method described in FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Currently, United Dominion uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Because Statement 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because United Dominion adopted Statement 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under Statement 123 will be recognized under Statement 123(R). There were no options granted during 2005, 2004 or 2003.
     A summary of United Dominion’s stock option activity during the three years ended December 31, 2005 is provided in the following table:

Contingencies
     Series B Out-Performance Program
     In May 2003, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the Series B Out-Performance Program (the “Series B Program”) pursuant to which certain executive officers of United Dominion (the “Series B Participants”) were given the opportunity to invest indirectly in United Dominion by purchasing interests in a limited liability company (the “Series B LLC”), the only asset of which is a special class of partnership units of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (“Series B Out-Performance Partnership Shares” or “Series B OPPSs”) . The purchase price for the Series B OPPSs was determined by United Dominion’s board of directors to be $1 million, assuming 100% participation, and was based upon the advice of an independent valuation expert. The Series B Program measured the cumulative total return on our common stock over the 24-month period from June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2005.
     The Series B Program was designed to provide participants with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment if the total cumulative return on United Dominion’s common stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid plus share price appreciation during the measurement period (a) exceeded the cumulative total return of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index peer group index over the same period; and (b) was at least the

65


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
equivalent of a 22% total return, or 11% annualized.
     At the conclusion of the measurement period on May 31, 2005, United Dominion’s total cumulative return did not satisfy these criteria, and therefore, the Series B LLC as holder of the Series B OPPSs did not receive (for the indirect benefit of the Series B Participants as holders of interests in the Series B LLC) distributions and allocations of income and loss from the Operating Partnership (accounted for on a consistent basis with all other OP Units) equal to the distributions and allocations that would be received on the number of OP Units. As a result, the investment made by the holders of the Series B OPPSs was forfeited.
     Series C Out-Performance Program
     In May 2005, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the Series C Out-Performance Program (the “Series C Program”) pursuant to which certain executive officers and other key employees of United Dominion (the “Series C Participants”) were given the opportunity to invest indirectly in United Dominion by purchasing interests in UDR Out-Performance III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Series C LLC”), the only asset of which is a special class of partnership units of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (“Series C Out-Performance Partnership Shares” or “Series C OPPSs”) . The purchase price for the Series C OPPSs was determined by the Compensation Committee of United Dominion’s board of directors to be $750,000, assuming 100% participation, and was based upon the advice of an independent valuation expert. The Series C Program will measure the cumulative total return on our common stock over the 36-month period from June 1, 2005 to May 30, 2008.
     The Series C Program is designed to provide participants with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment if the total cumulative return on United Dominion’s common stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid plus share price appreciation during the measurement period is at least the equivalent of a 36% total return, or 12% annualized (“Minimum Return”).
     At the conclusion of the measurement period, if United Dominion’s total cumulative return satisfies these criteria, the Series C LLC as holder of the Series C OPPSs will receive (for the indirect benefit of the Series C Participants as holders of interests in the Series C LLC) distributions and allocations of income and loss from the Operating Partnership equal to the distributions and allocations that would be received on the number of OP Units obtained by:
  i.   determining the amount by which the cumulative total return of United Dominion’s common stock over the measurement period exceeds the Minimum Return (such excess being the “Excess Return”);
 
  ii.   multiplying 2% of the Excess Return by United Dominion’s market capitalization (defined as the average number of shares outstanding over the 36-month period, including common stock, OP Units, and common stock equivalents) multiplied by the daily closing price of United Dominion’s common stock, up to a maximum of 1% of market capitalization; and
 
  iii.   dividing the number obtained in (ii) by the market value of one share of United Dominion’s common stock on the valuation date, determined by the volume-weighted average price per day of common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date.
     If, on the valuation date, the cumulative total return of United Dominion’s common stock does not meet the Minimum Return, then the Series C Participants will forfeit their entire initial investment.
Litigation and Legal Matters
     United Dominion is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. United Dominion cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. United Dominion believes that such liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

11. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
     United Dominion owns and operates multifamily apartment communities throughout the United States that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of tenants. United Dominion separately evaluates the performance of each of its apartment communities. However, because each of the apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services, and tenants, the apartment communities have been aggregated into a single apartment communities segment. All segment disclosure is included in or can be derived from United Dominion’s consolidated financial statements.
     There are no tenants that contributed 10% or more of United Dominion’s total revenues during 2005, 2004, or 2003.

ARTICLE I
OFFICES
Section 1.1 Principal Office in Maryland and Resident Agent.
     The address of the principal office of the corporation in the State of Maryland is 300 E. Lombard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The name and address of the resident agent in the State of Maryland is The Corporation Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation, 300 E. Lombard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.
Section 1.2 Other Offices.
     The corporation may also have and maintain such other offices or places of business, both within and outside the State of Maryland as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.
ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
Section 2.1 Place of Meetings.
     (a) Meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or outside the State of Maryland, as may be designated by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws or, if not so designated, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting may not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by paragraph (b) of this Section 2.1.
     (b) If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:
          (i) Participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
          (ii) Be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that the corporation (A) implements reasonable measures to verify that

1


 

each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (B) implements reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, and (C) maintains a record of any vote or action by any stockholder or proxyholder at the meeting by means of remote communication.
     (c) “Remote communication” means a conference telephone or similar communications equipment provided that all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time.
Section 2.2 Annual Meetings.
     The annual meetings of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may lawfully come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time the Board of Directors designates from time to time. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the corporation’s existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate act.
Section 2.3 Special Meetings.
     Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors at any time. Upon written request of any stockholder or stockholders entitled to cast at least ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, if such request states the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, delivered in person or sent by registered mail to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President or Secretary of the corporation, the Secretary shall inform the stockholders who make the request of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the meeting and on payment of these costs to the corporation, notify each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors has the sole power to fix the record date for determining stockholders entitled to request a special meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting and the date, time and place of the special meeting.
Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings.
     (a) Except as otherwise provided by law or in the Articles of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, specifying the place, if any, date and hour and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by law, purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given by the Secretary of the corporation not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety (90) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, directed to his or her address as it appears upon the books of the corporation. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice.
     (b) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote

2


 

communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original record date, or unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
     (c) Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, either before or after such meeting, and, to the extent permitted by law, will be waived by any stockholder by his or her attendance thereat, in person or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
     (d) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective when it is (i) personally delivered to the stockholder, (ii) left at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business, (iii) mailed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation or (iv) if consented to by such stockholder, transmitted to the stockholder by electronic mail to any electronic mail address of the stockholder or by any other electronic means. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic mail or other means two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent, and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. An affidavit of the Secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic mail or other means shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of these Bylaws, “electronic mail” or “electronic means” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
Section 2.5 Record Date.
     For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may (a) fix, in advance, a record date which shall not be more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of any such meeting or the taking of such other actions; or (b) direct that the stock transfer books be closed for a period not to exceed twenty (20) days. A record date may not precede the date on which the record date is fixed. In the case of a meeting of stockholders, the record date or the closing of the transfer books shall be at least ten (10) days before the meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting

3


 

of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Except where the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for any adjourned meeting, any stockholder who was a stockholder on the original record date shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to receive a dividend or allotment of rights even though he or she has since such date disposed of his or her shares, and no stockholder becoming a stockholder after such date shall be entitled to receive notice of or to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to receive such dividend or allotment of rights.
     If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date or close the stock transfer books, then:
     (a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the later of (i) at the close or business on the day on which notice is mailed or (ii) at the close of business on the thirtieth (30th) day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
     (b) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto provided that the payment of a dividend or allotment of rights may not be made more than sixty (60) days after the date on which such resolution was adopted.
Section 2.6 Quorum and Voting.
     (a) At all meetings of stockholders except where otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares, the voting of which at said meeting have been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting, shall not be counted to determine a quorum at said meeting. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
     (b) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter that properly comes before the meeting, except that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director.
     (c) Except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation, where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, and the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class.

4


 

Section 2.7 Right to Vote; Proxies.
     Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limit or deny voting rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of the corporation owned of record by him or her, either in person or by proxy in any manner authorized by law, by the stockholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary before or at the time of the meeting. A stockholder may authorize another person to act as proxy by transmitting, or authorizing the transmission of, an authorization by telegram, cablegram, datagram, electronic mail or any other electronic or telephonic means to the person authorized to act as proxy or to any other person authorized to receive the proxy authorization on behalf of the person authorized to act as proxy, including a proxy solicitation firm or proxy support service organization. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy is revocable by a stockholder at any time without condition or qualification unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. A proxy may be made irrevocable for so long as it is coupled with an interest. The interest with which a proxy may be coupled includes an interest in the stock to be voted under the proxy or another general interest in the corporation or its assets or liabilities.
Section 2.8 Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.
     (a) Shares registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any director or other fiduciary may vote shares registered in his or her name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.
     (b) Shares registered in the name of a person adjudged incompetent may be voted and all rights incident thereto may be exercised only by his or her guardian, in person or by proxy. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted and all rights incident thereto may be exercised only by his or her executor or administrator, in person or by proxy. Shares registered in the name of a minor may be voted and all rights incident thereto may be exercised by his or her guardian, in person or by proxy, or in the absence of such representation by his or her guardian, by the minor, in person or by proxy, whether or not the corporation has notice, actual or constructive, of the minority or the appointment of a guardian, and whether or not a guardian has in fact been appointed.
     (c) Shares registered in the names of two or more persons shall be voted or represented in accordance with the vote or consent of the majority of the persons in whose names the shares stand. If only one such person is present in person or by proxy, he or she may vote all the shares, and all the shares standing in the names of such persons are represented for the purpose of determining a quorum. This procedure also applies to the voting of shares by two or

5


 

more administrators, executors, trustees or other fiduciaries, unless the instrument or order of court appointing them otherwise directs.
     (d) Shares of the corporation directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
     (e) The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the corporation that any shares registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth: the class of stockholders who may make the certification; the purpose for which the certification may be made; the form of certification; the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the stock transfer books within which the certification must be received by the corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified shares in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.
Section 2.9 Inspectors.
     At any meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of shares represented at the meeting based on their determination of the validity and effect of proxies, count all votes, report the results and perform such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the stockholders. Each report of an inspector or inspectors shall be in writing and signed by him or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector; the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.
Section 2.10 Action Without Meetings.
          Except as provided in the next sentence, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if there is filed with the records of stockholders’ meetings a unanimous written consent which sets forth the action and is signed by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter. Unless the Articles of Incorporation require otherwise, the holders of any class of stock other than common stock, entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, may take action or consent to any action by the written consent of stockholders entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a stockholders meeting if the corporation gives notice of the action to each stockholder not later than ten (10) days after the effective time of the action.

6


 

Section 2.11 Voting by Ballot.
     If ordered by the presiding officer of any stockholder meeting, the vote upon any election or question shall be by ballot.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
Section 3.1 Number and Term of Office.
     The number of directors of the corporation shall not be less than one (1) nor more than twelve (12) until changed by a resolution amending this Section 3.1 duly adopted by the Board of Directors. The exact number of directors shall be fixed from time to time, within the limits specified in this Section 3.1, by the Board of Directors. Subject to the foregoing provisions for changing the number of directors, the number of directors of the corporation has been fixed at eleven (11).
     With the exception of the first Board of Directors, which shall be elected by the incorporators, and except as provided in Section 3.3, the directors shall be elected by a plurality vote of the shares represented in person or by proxy, at the stockholders annual meeting in each year and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Elected directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders. Directors are expected to resign after the stockholders annual meeting in the year in which the director attains the age of 70 unless the Board of Directors asks the director to continue to serve as a director.
Section 3.2 Powers.
     The powers of the corporation shall be exercised, its business conducted and its property controlled by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
Section 3.3 Vacancies.
     Unless the Articles of Incorporation require otherwise, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place is vacant and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Section 3.3 in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director, or if the stockholders fail at any meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (including any meeting referred to in Section 3.4 below) to elect the number of directors then constituting the whole Board of Directors.

7


 

Section 3.4 Resignations and Removals.
     (a) Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the Secretary in writing or by electronic transmission, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made it shall be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors resigns from the Board of Directors effective at a future date and, unless the Articles of Incorporation require otherwise, only a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if such remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place is vacated and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.
     (b) Subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock of the corporation to elect or remove one or more directors, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, only at a meeting of the stockholders called for such purpose (in accordance with Section 2.4), by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, voting as a class, in the election of directors. The notice of such meeting shall indicate that the purpose or one of the purposes of such meeting is to determine if a director should be removed.
Section 3.5 Meetings.
     (a) The annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately after the annual stockholders’ meeting and at the place where such meeting is held or at the place announced by the Chairman at such meeting. No notice of an annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be necessary, and such meeting shall be held for the purpose of electing officers and transacting such other business as may lawfully come before it. The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or outside the State of Maryland, for the holding of regular meetings of the Board of Directors without notice other than such resolution.
     (b) Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place, either within or outside the State of Maryland, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.
     (c) Written notice of the time and place of all special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be delivered personally to each director or sent by telegram or facsimile transmission or other form of electronic transmission at least twenty-four (24) hours before the start of the meeting, or sent by first class mail at least five (5) days before the date of the meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing, which shall be filed with the records of the meeting, at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat.

8


 

Section 3.6 Quorum and Voting.
     (a) A quorum of the Board of Directors shall consist of a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time in accordance with Section 3.1; provided, however, at any meeting whether a quorum is present or otherwise, a majority of the directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting.
     (b) At each meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, all questions and business shall be determined by a vote of a majority of the directors present, unless a different vote is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
     (c) Any member of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
     (d) The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to holding such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section 3.7 Action Without Meeting.
     Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written consent which sets forth the action is signed by each member of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
Section 3.8 Fees and Compensation.
     Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement for expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Section 3.9 Presumption of Assent.
     A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless (a) such director announces his or her dissent at the meeting and (b)(i) his or her dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting, (ii) he or she files his or her written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or (iii) he or she forwards such dissent within twenty-four (24) hours after the meeting is adjourned, by certified mail, return receipt requested, bearing a postmark from the United States Postal Service to the secretary of the meeting or the Secretary of the corporation. Such right to

9


 

dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action or failed to make his or her dissent known at the meeting.
Section 3.10 Committees.
     (a) The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, appoint an Executive Committee of one or more directors. The Executive Committee to the extent permitted by law shall have and may exercise all powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except as prohibited by law. If the Board of Directors has given general authorization for the issuance of stock providing for or establishing a method or procedure for determining the maximum number of shares to be issued, a committee of the Board of Directors, in accordance with that general authorization or any stock option or other plan or program adopted by the Board of Directors, may authorize or fix the terms of stock subject to classification or reclassification and the terms on which any stock may be issued, including all terms and conditions required or permitted to be established or authorized by the Board of Directors under Sections 2-203 and 2-208 of the MGCL.
     (b) The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, from time to time appoint such other committees as may be permitted or required by law. Such other committees appointed by the Board of Directors shall have such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committee, but in no event shall any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee in these Bylaws.
     (c) The members of all committees of the Board of Directors shall serve a term coexistent with that of the Board of Directors which appointed such committee. The Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 3.10, may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee; provided that no committee shall consist of less than one member. The membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of his or her death or voluntary resignation, but the Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.
     (d) Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be held at such times and places as are determined by the Board of Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter. Special meetings of any such committee may be held at the principal office of the corporation or at any place which has been

10


 

designated from time to time by resolution of such committee or by written consent of all members thereof, and may be called by any director who is a member of such committee upon written notice to the members of such committee of the time and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided for the giving of written notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in writing at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat. A majority of the authorized number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee.

ARTICLE V
EXECUTION OF CORPORATE INSTRUMENTS AND
VOTING OF SECURITIES OWNED BY THE CORPORATION
Section 5.1 Execution of Corporate Instruments.
     (a) The Board of Directors may in its discretion determine the method and designate the signatory officer or officers, or other person or persons, to execute any corporate instrument or document, or to sign the corporate name without limitation, except where otherwise provided by law, and such execution or signature shall be binding upon the corporation.

12


 

     (b) All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries on funds to the credit of the corporation or in special accounts of the corporation shall be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors may authorize.
     (c) Execution of any corporate instrument may be effected in such form, either manual, facsimile or electronic signature, as may be authorized by the Board of Directors.

     All stock and other securities of other corporations owned or held by the corporation for itself or for other parties in any capacity shall be voted, and all proxies with respect thereto shall be executed, by the person authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such authorization, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President.
ARTICLE VI
SHARES OF STOCK
Section 6.1 Certificates.
     Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates which represent and certify the number of shares of each class held by him or her in the corporation; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any class or series of shares may be uncertificated. Each certificate shall include on its face the name of the corporation, the name of the stockholder or other person to whom it is issued and the class of stock and number of shares it represents. Each certificate shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President and countersigned by the Secretary or an assistant secretary or the Treasurer or an assistant treasurer and may be sealed with the seal, if any, of the corporation. The signatures may be either manual or facsimile. Certificates shall be consecutively numbered; and if the corporation issues several classes of shares, each class may have its own numbered series. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. A stock certificate may not be issued until the stock represented by it is fully paid. Each certificate representing shares which are restricted as to their transferability shall contain a full statement of such restriction or state that the corporation will furnish information about the restriction to the stockholder on request and without charge. Except as otherwise provided by law, the fact that a stock certificate does not contain or refer to a restriction on transferability that is adopted after the date of issuance of the stock certificate does not mean that the restriction is invalid or unenforceable. If the corporation has authority to issue shares of more than one class, the certificate shall contain on the face or back a full statement or summary of the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of each class of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue and, if the corporation is authorized to issue any preferred or special class in series, the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent they have been set and the authority of the Board of Directors to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series. In lieu of

13


 

such statement or summary, the certificate may state that the corporation will furnish a full statement of such information to any stockholder upon request and without charge.
Section 6.2 Transfers.
     Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a stock certificate duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction on its books. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of any class will be subject in all respects to the Articles of Incorporation and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.
Section 6.3 Replacement Certificate.
     The Secretary and any other officer designated by the Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issuance of a new certificate, the Secretary or other officer designated by the Board of Directors may, in his or her discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owner’s legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to the corporation to indemnify it against any loss or claim which may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate.
Section 6.4 Stock Ledger.
     The corporation shall maintain at its principal office or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer agent, an original or duplicate stock ledger containing the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such stockholder. The stock ledger may be in written form or in any other form which can be converted within a reasonable time into written form for visual inspection. The corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Share or on the part of any other person, whether or not it has express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland.
Section 6.5 Issuance of Units.
     Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws to the contrary, the Board of Directors may issue units consisting of different securities of the corporation. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the corporation, except that the Board of Directors may provide that, for a specified period, securities of the corporation issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the corporation only in such unit.

14


 

Section 6.6 Fractional Share Interests or Scrip.
     The corporation may, but is not obliged to, issue fractional shares of stock, eliminate a fractional interest by rounding off to a full share of stock, arrange for the disposition of a fractional interest by the person entitled to it, pay cash for the fair value of a fractional share of stock determined as of the time when the person entitled to receive it is determined, or issue scrip, or other evidence of ownership aggregating a full share for a certificate which represents the share and, unless otherwise provided, does not entitle the holder to exercise any voting rights, to receive dividends thereon or to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may impose any reasonable condition on the issuance of scrip or other evidence of ownership, and may cause such scrip or other evidence of ownership to be issued subject to the condition that it will become void if not exchanged for a certificate representing a full share of stock before a specified date or subject to the condition that the shares for which such scrip or other evidence of indebtedness are exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip or other evidence of indebtedness, or subject to a provision of forfeiture of such proceeds to the corporation if not claimed within a period of not less than three years from the date the scrip or other evidence of ownership was originally issued.
Section 6.7 Dividends.
     If declared by the Board of Directors at any meeting thereof, the corporation may pay dividends on its shares in cash, property, or in shares of the capital stock of the corporation, unless such dividend is contrary to law or to a restriction contained in the Articles of Incorporation.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.1 Right to Indemnification.
     The corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers, whether serving the corporation or, at its request, any other entity, to the full extent required or permitted by the general laws of the State of Maryland now or hereafter in force, including the advancement of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law. The corporation may indemnify other employees and agents, whether serving the corporation or, at its request, any other entity, to such extent as may be authorized by the Board of Directors and as permitted by law. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of Directors may take such action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time resolutions or contracts implementing such provisions or such further indemnification arrangements as may be permitted by law. No amendment of these Bylaws or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the foregoing right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

15


 

Section 7.2 Provisions Nonexclusive.
     The rights conferred on any person by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. To the extent that any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, agreement or vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent with these Bylaws, such provision, agreement or vote shall take precedence.
Section 7.3 Authority to Insure.
     The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the general laws of the State of Maryland.
Section 7.4 Survival of Rights.
     The rights provided by this Article VII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.5 Subrogation.
     In the event of payment under this Article VII, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the director or officer, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
Section 7.6 No Duplication of Payments.
     The corporation shall not be liable under this Article VII to make any payment in connection with any claim made against a director or officer to the extent the director or officer has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
Section 7.7 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.
     If a claim under Section 7.1 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to also be paid the

16


 

expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the MGCL for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the MGCL, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 Fiscal Year.
     The fiscal year of the corporation shall be the twelve (12) calendar months ending December 31 in each year, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors.
Section 8.2 Exemption From Control Share Acquisition Act.
     The provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the MGCL (the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act), or any successor statute, shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of the corporation. This Section 8.2 may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw and consistent with applicable law, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.
Section 8.3 Other Securities of the Corporation.
     Each certificate which represents any bond, note, guaranty, obligation or other corporate security (other than stock) shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President and countersigned by the Secretary, an assistant secretary, the Treasurer or the assistant treasurer. Such certificate may be sealed with the actual corporate seal or a facsimile of it or in any other form. The signatures on the certificate may be either manual or facsimile signatures. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer who signed it is still an officer at the time it is issued.
Section 8.4 Corporate Seal.
     The corporate seal shall be a flat-faced circular die, of which there may be any number of counterparts, with the word “SEAL” and the name of the corporation engraved thereon. Said seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise. If the corporation is required to place its corporate seal to a document, it is sufficient

17


 

to meet the requirements of any law, rule or regulation relating to a corporate seal to place the word “(seal)” adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to sign the document on behalf of the corporation.
Section 8.5 Amendments.
     The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power to replace, alter, amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws (including, without limitation, the amendment of any Bylaws setting forth the number of directors who shall constitute the whole Board of Directors) by unanimous written consent or at any annual, regular, or special meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole number of directors. With the approval of the Board of Directors, the stockholders shall have the power, by affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation, at any annual meeting (subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.4) or at any special meeting if notice thereof is included in the notice of such special meeting, to alter, amend or repeal any Bylaws of the corporation and to make new Bylaws.
Section 8.6 Reliance.
     Each director of the corporation shall, in the performance of his or her duties with respect to the corporation, be entitled to rely on any information, opinion report or statement, including financial statements or other financial data, prepared or presented by an officer or employee of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, by a lawyer, certified public accountant or other person as to a matter which the director reasonably believes to be within the person’s professional or expert competence or by a committee of the Board of Directors on which the director does not serve, as to a matter within its designated authority, if the director believes the committee to merit confidence.
