Note 10 – Equity

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into separate controlled equity offering sales agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of the Company's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000, from time to time in "at-the-market" equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transactions (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. The Company includes only shares issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period. The following table summarizes issuances of common stock sold through the ATM program since inception through June 30, 2013:

	Number of Shares Settled	Gross Proceeds		Net Proceeds		Weighted-average Sales Price
2013:
First quarter	1,889,105	$	44,459	$	43,904	$	23.53
Second quarter	6,530,193	167,034		165,692		25.58
Total	8,419,298	$	211,493	$	209,596	$	25.12

The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the balances on our unsecured lines of credit. Since the commencement of the ATM program, the Company has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88,507 remains available to be sold under this program. Actual future sales will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.
