S-2 PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus or incorporated herein and therein by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement assumes (i) that all units of limited partnership interest in Beacon Properties, L.P. ("Units") redeemable for Common Stock or cash have been redeemed for Common Stock, (ii) that the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised and (iii) that the market price per share of Common Stock is equal to $35 (the reported closing sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on March 26, 1997). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Prospectus Supplement to the "Company" shall mean Beacon Properties Corporation, Beacon Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the entity through which the Company holds substantially all of its direct and indirect interests in the Properties, and their subsidiaries on an aggregated basis. This Prospectus Supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference are discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" starting on page S-16 of this Prospectus Supplement. The Company The Company is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (a "REIT") which owns a portfolio of Class A office properties and other commercial properties located in major metropolitan areas, including Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., as well as commercial real estate development, acquisition, leasing and management businesses. Class A office properties generally are considered to be those that have excellent locations and access, attract high quality tenants, are well maintained and professionally managed, and achieve among the highest rent, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. The Properties comprise approximately 15.8 million rentable square feet in the aggregate and, as of December 31, 1996, were approximately 96% leased with over 1,100 tenants. The Company is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth. Upon completion of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have invested approximately $1.5 billion in office properties since January 1996, increasing its interests in real estate by over 290%. The Company has entered into contracts to acquire the Pending Acquisitions comprised of eight office buildings encompassing approximately 2.0 million additional rentable square feet located in suburban Chicago, Illinois; suburban Los Angeles, California; and Fairfax County, Virginia. The aggregate consideration for the Pending Acquisitions is approximately $339.1 million. If all of the Pending Acquisitions are consummated, the Company will own or have an interest in 112 income producing commercial buildings encompassing approximately 17.8 million rentable square feet, approximately 79% of which will be located in suburban office markets and approximately 21% of which will be located in downtown office markets, primarily Boston. Assuming the consummation of all of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have a total market capitalization of approximately $2.9 billion. The Company's business is conducted principally through the Operating Partnership, two subsidiary corporations and two subsidiary limited partnerships. The Company conducts third-party management operations through Beacon Property Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Management Company") and conducts third-party tenant space design services through Beacon Design Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the "Design Company"). Through the Management Company, the Company manages approximately 2.9 million square feet of commercial and office space owned by third parties in various locations including Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Chicago, Illinois. The Company conducts management operations for wholly- owned properties through Beacon Property Management, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership (the "Management Partnership"), and conducts tenant space design services for wholly-owned properties through Beacon Design, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Design Partnership"). S-3 Risk Factors An investment in the Common Stock involves various risks and prospective investors should carefully consider the matters discussed under "Risk Factors" prior to any investment in the Company. Such risks include, among others: [bullet] Risks associated with the Company's ability to manage effectively the addition of a substantial number of new properties to the Company's portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders; [bullet] Risks associated with borrowing, such as the possibility that (i) the Company will not have sufficient funds available to make principal payments on outstanding debt; (ii) outstanding indebtedness will be refinanced at higher interest rates or otherwise on terms less favorable to the Company; and (iii) interest rates under the Company's $300 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") will increase, all of which could adversely affect the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders and its ability to qualify as a REIT; [bullet] Risks associated with a Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio (calculated as the Company's proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt, excluding Rowes Wharf) upon completion of the Offering and the Pending Acquisitions of approximately 25.2%, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders; [bullet] Risks associated with the Company's joint ownership of properties which prevent the Company from exercising sole decision making authority over the property and may adversely affect the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders; [bullet] Possible adverse consequences of limiting ownership of Common Stock by a single person to 6.0%, or 9.9% for certain stockholders, of the outstanding Common Stock, which may adversely impact a stockholder's ability to make changes in management; [bullet] Risks associated with the acquisition and development of office and other commercial properties such as the risk that the Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected if the investments fail to perform as expected; [bullet] Real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of general economic and real estate market conditions in the market area on property cash flows and values, the need to renew leases or relet space upon the expiration of current leases, the ability of a property to generate revenues sufficient to meet debt service payments and other operating expenses, and the illiquidity of real estate investments, all of which may affect the Company's ability to make expected distributions; [bullet] Risks associated with investments in mortgage indebtedness, including the risk that a debtor may file for bankruptcy or otherwise be unable or refuse to make payments under the mortgage which may affect the Company's ability to realize its anticipated investment return with respect to such investments; [bullet] Potential liability of the Company for environmental liabilities either as an owner or as an operator of properties which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and ability to make expected distributions; [bullet] Risks associated with ownership of subsidiary corporations which may adversely affect the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders, including potential tax liabilities to the Company from operating subsidiaries, the Company's lack of control over such subsidiaries due to tax requirements prohibiting the Company's ownership of voting stock in such entities and possible adverse consequences of the Company's status as a REIT on the business of subsidiaries; and [bullet] Possible increases in market interest rates, which lead prospective purchasers of Common Stock to demand a higher anticipated annual yield from future dividends, which in turn may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. S-4 Recent Developments Recent Acquisitions Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park. In December 1996, the Company acquired a 12-building complex located in Mountain View, California ("Shoreline Technology Park") and a 7-building complex located in Santa Clara, California ("Lake Marriott Business Park") for aggregate consideration of approximately $184 million (including approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures). The Company purchased the Properties from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. The Shoreline Technology Park is a 12-building complex developed between 1985 and 1991 which encompasses approximately 727,000 square feet. Shoreline Technology Park is the headquarters of Silicon Graphics, Inc., which is the sole tenant of the Property. The Lake Marriott Business Park is a 7-building complex developed in 1981 which encompasses approximately 400,000 square feet. Major tenants in the Lake Marriott Business Park include Silicon Valley Bank (approximately 101,000 square feet) and Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc. (approximately 97,000 square feet). The Shoreline Technology Park and substantially all of the Lake Marriott Business Park are currently leased on a "triple-net" basis. The aggregate occupancy rate of both Properties as of December 31, 1996 was 100%. Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park are located in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market. According to Cornish & Carey, the entire Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market, which consists of approximately 129 million rentable square feet, had an overall vacancy rate of 5.3% as of December 31, 1996. Cornish & Carey also reports that the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market experienced net increases in square feet of leased space ("Net Absorption") of approximately 1.7 million square feet in 1996. Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park represent the Company's first acquisitions in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market. As part of its continuing analysis of major office markets and investment opportunities, the Company has determined that the San Francisco and San Jose metropolitan areas possess attractive market fundamentals, including growth in office-using employment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, approximately 13,400 office-using jobs were created in the combined San Francisco/San Jose metropolitan area, primarily in business services including multi- media, computer software and hardware, and consulting. The Company has further determined that the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market is particularly attractive due to its high concentration of knowledge-based industries including biotechnology, communications, and computer hardware and software as well as its proximity to major universities. Additionally, the Company believes there is substantial constraint on new supply of office space in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market due to geographic barriers and the high cost of land. Based upon its survey of brokers in the market and other internal research, the Company believes that the existing rental rates per square foot at Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park are below current market rates by approximately $7 to $9 and $5 to $7, respectively. The Company expects that the net operating income generated by the Properties will increase as current leases are renewed, and new leases are made, at current market rates, although no assurances can be made in this regard. The Company expects to incur certain tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions in connection with the releasing of this space. For a description of the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Suburban Chicago Office Market Presidents Plaza. In December 1996, the Company acquired a four-tower office complex located near O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois ("Presidents Plaza") from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife"). Aggregate consideration for Presidents Plaza consisted of 1,171,500 Units issued to MetLife (valued at approximately $39 million at the closing of the acquisition) and approximately $38 million in cash. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $1 million of non-recurring capital improvements at the Property. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for Presidents Plaza is approximately 60% of replacement cost. S-5 Presidents Plaza, located at 8600 and 8700 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, consists of two sets of 10- and 12-story towers encompassing an aggregate of approximately 791,000 square feet. The Property was developed between 1980 and 1982. Major tenants at the Property include Cotter & Co. (approximately 175,000 square feet), Wilson Sporting Goods Co. (approximately 109,000 square feet), and Gas Research Institute (approximately 97,000 square feet). As of December 31, 1996, the Property was approximately 90% leased. Presidents Plaza is located in the O'Hare submarket of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. With the acquisition of Presidents Plaza, the Company increased its holdings of office properties in the Suburban Chicago Office Market to approximately 1.6 million square feet. According to Grubb & Ellis, the entire suburban Chicago Office Market had an overall vacancy rate of 11.2% as of December 31, 1996, while the O'Hare submarket had a vacancy rate of 14.8% for the same period. Grubb & Ellis also reports that the O'Hare submarket experienced Net Absorption of approximately 242,000 square feet in 1996. The Company believes that the Suburban Chicago Office Market possesses attractive market fundamentals, as evidenced by the creation of approximately 34,000 office-using jobs in the Chicago metropolitan area during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For a description of the Suburban Chicago Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Greater Boston Suburban Office Market Crosby Corporate Center. In December 1996, the Company acquired a 28.6-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Crosby Corporate Center located in Bedford, Massachusetts. See "--Other Developments." The Shoreline Technology Park, the Lake Marriott Business Park, Presidents Plaza and the 28.6-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Crosby Corporate Center are collectively referred to herein as the "Recent Acquisitions." Pending Acquisitions The Company has entered into contracts to purchase the Pending Acquisitions for aggregate consideration of approximately $339.1 million (including approximately $2.2 million in non-recurring capital expenditures). The Company currently expects to complete the purchase of the Pending Acquisitions during the second quarter of 1997. However, the purchase of each of the Pending Acquisitions is subject to various closing conditions. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the Company will acquire any or all of the Pending Acquisitions. In addition to the Pending Acquisitions, as part of its ongoing business, the Company continually engages in discussions with public and private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or single asset acquisitions in various major metropolitan areas. No assurances can be made that the Company will acquire any of the property opportunities currently under review. The following describes each of the Pending Acquisitions. Suburban Chicago Office Market Westbrook Corporate Center. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire a five-building office complex located in Westchester (suburban Chicago), Illinois (the "Westbrook Corporate Center"). The purchase price of the property is approximately $182.1 million, consisting of the expected assumption of approximately $106 million of mortgage debt, the issuance of approximately $50 million of Units and approximately $26.1 million in cash. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for the Westbrook Corporate Center is approximately 90% of replacement cost. In addition, the Company has entered into a contract to purchase a 10-acre parcel of land suitable for development which is contiguous to the Westbrook Corporate Center, for $3.5 million within twelve months of the acquisition. Westbrook Corporate Center consists of five 10-story office buildings comprising an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million square feet. The buildings each contain approximately 220,000 square feet and were developed between 1985 and 1996. Major tenants in the Westbrook Corporate Center include Navistar International Corporation (approximately 100,000 square feet), Ameritech (approximately 70,000 square feet), Peoplesoft (approximately 53,000 square feet), Premier Health (approximately 45,000 square feet) and SAP America (approximately 55,000 square feet). The aggregate occupancy rate for the Westbrook Corporate Center as of December 31, 1996 was approximately 90%. Nearly all of the vacancy at the property is attributable to the newest building in the complex which opened in February 1996. Westbrook Corporate Center is located in the East-West Corridor of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. The Company currently owns approximately 1.6 million square feet of office properties in the Suburban Chicago Office Market. According to Grubb & Ellis, the entire Suburban Chicago Office Market had an overall vacancy rate of S-6 11.2% as of December 31, 1996, while the East-West Corridor submarket had a vacancy rate of 9.8% for the same period. Grubb & Ellis also reports that the East-West Corridor submarket experienced Net Absorption of approximately 524,000 square feet for 1996. As discussed above, the Company believes that the Suburban Chicago Office Market possesses attractive market fundamentals, as evidenced by the creation of approximately 34,000 office-using jobs in the Chicago metropolitan area during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For a description of the Suburban Chicago Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." West Los Angeles Office Market 10880 Wilshire Boulevard. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire the leasehold interest in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard located in Westwood, California. In connection with the acquisition, the Company will also acquire the right to purchase the fee interest in the land at fair market value in 2001. The Company will acquire the leasehold interest in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard for aggregate consideration of approximately $102 million in cash (including approximately $2.2 million in expected non-recurring capital expenditures), approximately 75% of replacement cost, after giving effect to the leasehold. The 10880 Wilshire Boulevard property was built in 1970 and has undergone approximately $34 million of capital improvements since 1992. The property consists of approximately 531,000 square feet in a 23-story office building. This property is one of the largest buildings in the Westwood submarket of the West Los Angeles Office Market and given the current constraints on development described below, this property cannot be duplicated in its market. The property is located near Interstates 405 and 10 with easy access to other West Los Angeles markets, downtown, the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles airport. In addition, the property, which meets current earthquake construction codes, is located in a business district, adjacent to other Class A office buildings, Westwood Village, a retail area, and the UCLA campus. Major tenants in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard include Showtime/Viacom International Inc. (approximately 68,000 square feet), Corporate Media Partners (approximately 64,000 square feet), Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (approximately 50,000 square feet) and Pardee Construction Company (approximately 33,000 square feet). The Company currently intends to retain the existing property manager of 10880 Wilshire Boulevard following the consummation of the acquisition to facilitate the leasing and management of the property. As of December 31, 1996, the occupancy rate for 10880 Wilshire Boulevard was approximately 85%. With the acquisition of 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, the Company will own approximately 1.1 million square feet of office space in the Westwood submarket of the West Los Angeles Office Market. According to CB Commercial, the entire West Los Angeles Office Market (consisting of approximately 34 million square feet) had an overall vacancy rate of 11.4% as of December 31, 1996, while the Westwood submarket (consisting of approximately 2.7 million square feet) experienced a vacancy rate of 9.1% for the same period. CB Commercial also reports that the West Los Angeles Office Market experienced Net Absorption of approximately 600,000 square feet in 1996. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, approximately 51,000 office-using jobs were created in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, primarily in the entertainment, export/import, healthcare, telecommunications and aerospace industries. Additionally, limited sites are available for development in the Westwood submarket and this submarket has significant constraints on development including substantial development fees and/or the limitation of new development to 1.5 floor-area-ratio with five-story height limitations. For a description of the West Los Angeles Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." The Company expects that the net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) generated by the property will increase $2.0 million and $600,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 as free rent provisions in current leases expire. Additionally, the Company expects that the net operating income generated by the property will further increase as new leases are made at market rates, although no assurances can be made in this regard. Approximately 78,000 square feet at the property is currently available for occupancy. The Company expects to incur certain tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions in connection with the leasing of this space. The Fairfax County, Virginia Market Centerpointe I and II. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire two office properties located in Fairfax County, Virginia ("Centerpointe I and II") for aggregate consideration of approximately $55 S-7 million, consisting of approximately $25 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $30 million of mortgage debt. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for Centerpointe I and II is approximately 75% of replacement cost. The Centerpointe property contains approximately 409,000 square feet and consists of (i) Centerpointe I, an 11-story office building built in 1988 and comprising approximately 204,500 square feet and (ii) Centerpointe II, an 11-story office building built in 1990 comprising approximately 204,500 square feet. The sole tenant at Centerpointe I is American Management Systems, Inc., which also occupies approximately 100,000 square feet in Centerpointe II. Other major tenants at Centerpointe II include Fujitsu Business Communications Systems, Inc. (approximately 20,000 square feet) and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (approximately 15,000 square feet). As of December 31, 1996, the aggregate occupancy rate for Centerpointe I and II was approximately 100%. In connection with the acquisition of Centerpointe I and II, the Company has also entered into an option/put arrangement with the sellers of Centerpointe I and II on an adjacent 7.8 acre parcel of land suitable for development. Centerpointe I and II are located in the Fairfax County, Virginia market. The Company currently owns approximately 550,000 square feet of office properties in Fairfax County, Virginia. According to Grubb & Ellis, the Fairfax County, Virginia Market had an overall vacancy rate of 6.7% as of December 31, 1996 and experienced Net Absorption of approximately 3.3 million square feet for 1996. For a description of the Fairfax County, Virginia Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Capitalization Rates The following table sets forth the Capitalization Rates for the Shoreline Technology Park/Lake Marriott Business Park, Presidents Plaza and the Pending Acquisitions. The Capitalization Rates are calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of any straight-line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997 by (b) the consideration paid for the property, including any expected capital improvements.

(1) Pending Acquisitions appear in italics. (2) Net operating income includes approximately $725,000 of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $475,000 and $320,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. (3) Net operating income includes approximately $2.84 million of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $640,000 and $670,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. (4) Net operating income includes approximately $1.2 million of straight-line rents. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $1.2 million and $385,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. Additionally, the Company expects that net operating income will increase as vacant space in the newest building in the complex which opened in February 1996 is leased, however, no assurances can S-8 be made in this regard. The Return on Equity (as defined below) invested by the Company in the Westbrook Corporate Center is expected to be 12.9%. Return on Equity is calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of straight line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997 less expected debt service on $106 million of mortgage debt at an interest rate of approximately 8% per annum (the "Expected Westbrook Debt") by (b) the consideration paid for the property less the principal amount of the Expected Westbrook Debt. (5) Net operating income includes approximately $2.7 million of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $2.2 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. As discussed above, the Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $2.0 million and $600,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 as free rent provisions in current leases expire. The Company also expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $195,000 and $210,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. Additionally, the Company expects that net operating income will further increase as new leases are made at market rates, although no assurance can be made in this regard. (6) Net operating income includes approximately $800,000 of straight-line rents. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $270,000 and $420,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. The Return on Equity invested by the Company in Centerpointe I and II is expected to be 13.3%. Return on Equity is calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of straight line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997, less expected debt service on $30 million of mortgage debt at an interest rate of 7.32% per annum (the "Expected Centerpointe Debt") by (b) the consideration paid for the property less the principal amount of the Expected Centerpointe Debt. Potential Acquisitions As part of its ongoing business, the Company actively seeks opportunities to acquire additional properties on favorable terms. The purchase of any of these potential acquisitions is subject to satisfaction of numerous conditions, including, without limitation, the completion of due diligence and, with respect to the Rosemont, Illinois office complexes, the negotiation and execution of definitive purchase agreements. Additionally, the purchase of the Rosemont, Illinois office complexes are subject to rights of certain tenants to purchase portions of each of the two complexes. No assurances can be given that the Company will acquire any of the property opportunities currently under review. Rosemont, Illinois Office Complexes. In March 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire two office complexes located in Rosemont, Illinois (suburban Chicago) comprising an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million square feet and which include approximately 2.9 acres of land suitable for the development of approximately 250,000 square feet of additional office space. This acquisition is subject, among other things, to the rights of certain tenants to purchase portions of each of the two complexes. See "Properties and Pending Acquisitions" for a description of the O'Hare submarket of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. 175 Wyman Street. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire 26.7 acres of land suitable for development and a vacant 335,000 square foot office/research and development complex located at 175 Wyman Street in Waltham (suburban Boston), Massachusetts for approximately $24.0 million. The Company plans to redevelop the property into 400,000 square feet of Class A office space. The Company expects that such development could begin in late 1997 or early 1998. 175 Wyman Street is located in the Route 128/Mass. Pike submarket. For a description of the Greater Boston Suburban Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Other Developments Credit Facility. The First National Bank of Boston ("Bank of Boston") has committed to convert the Company's $300 million secured Credit Facility to an unsecured facility. Additionally, Bank of Boston has committed to reduce the interest rate on the Credit Facility. Sale of Westlakes Office Park. The Company is negotiating to sell the Westlakes Office Park, its sole property located in the Suburban Philadelphia Office Market. The consummation of this sale is subject to S-9 customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, purchaser's satisfactory completion of its due diligence. At the Company's option, the transaction may be structured as a like-kind exchange. Crosby Corporate Center. In December 1996, the Company acquired a 28.6-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Crosby Corporate Center. This parcel has approximately 250,000 square feet of building capacity, and the Company expects that development of a significant portion of the land could commence in the second quarter of 1997, although no assurances can be made in this regard. The Company believes that demand for office space in the Northwest submarket of the Greater Boston Suburban Office Market (the location of the Crosby Corporate Center) will continue as several major tenants at the Property experience substantial growth. No assurances can be made that such increased demand will occur. For a description of the Greater Boston Suburban Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Sale of Beacon Construction Company. In December 1996, Beacon Construction Company, Inc. (the "Construction Company") sold substantially all of its assets. The Construction Company's new business plan involves the completion of certain contracts not transferred to the purchaser and the liquidation of its remaining assets. The Company's decision to effect the sale of the Construction Company was based upon the determination that the third-party construction business was no longer an integral part of the Company's business.

S-15 RISK FACTORS An investment in the Common Stock involves various risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following information in conjunction with the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement before purchasing Common Stock in the Offering. Risks Associated with the Addition of a Substantial Number of New Properties The Company is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth. Since January 1996, the Company has invested approximately $1.2 billion in office properties, increasing its interests in real estate by over 226%. Upon the completion of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have invested approximately $1.5 billion since January 1996, increasing its interests in real estate by over 290%. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to apply successfully its experience managing its existing portfolio to new markets and to an increased number of properties. The Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected if the Company is unable to manage these operations effectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage these operations effectively. Risks of Adverse Effect on Company from Debt Servicing and Refinancing, Increases in Interest Rates, Financial Covenants and Absence of Limitations of Debt Debt Financing and Existing Debt Maturities. The Company intends to finance the acquisition of additional properties through the use of debt and equity financing. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of certain Properties and Pending Acquisitions for Units, the Company has agreed to maintain certain levels of nonrecourse debt on the properties in order to minimize the tax consequences of these acquisitions to the Unit recipients. The Company is therefore subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the possibility that the Company will have insufficient cash flow to meet required principal and interest payments, will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness (which in most cases will not be fully amortized at maturity), or will be unable to secure favorable refinancing terms. Currently, the Company's total consolidated debt is approximately $604.8 million, and its total consolidated debt plus its proportionate share of total unconsolidated debt (other than Rowes Wharf) is approximately $697.5 million. The Company (together with an affiliate), and Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, on behalf of its Prime Property Fund ("Equitable"), the Company's joint venture partner in Rowes Wharf Associates, each hold one-half of the mortgage debt on the Rowes Wharf Property. See "Properties--Mortgage Indebtedness and Credit Facility." The Company's current consolidated mortgage indebtedness of approximately $451.8 million has maturities ranging from 1998 through 2008 and is secured by Properties. In addition, the Company currently has $153 million outstanding under its Credit Facility. The Company's proportionate share of its current total unconsolidated debt (excluding Rowes Wharf) consists of approximately $46.3 million on the One Post Office Square Property (in which the Company has a 50% general partner interest) and approximately $46.4 million on the 75-101 Federal Street Property (in which the Company owns approximately 51.6% of the common stock of a private REIT that owns the Property). The Company currently has a policy of incurring debt only if upon such incurrence the Company's Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio (as defined below) would be 50% or less. For purposes of this policy, the Company's Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio is calculated as the Company's proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt (excluding Rowes Wharf) as a percentage of the sum of the market value of outstanding shares of stock of the Company and Units plus the Company's proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt (excluding Rowes Wharf). As noted, the Company (together with an affiliate) currently holds one-half of the Rowes Wharf mortgage indebtedness. Upon completion of the Offering and the Pending Acquisitions, the Company's Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio will be approximately 25.2%. Although the Company has adopted a Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio policy, the organizational documents of the Company do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness the Company may incur. Accordingly, the Board of Directors could alter or eliminate this policy and would do so, for example, if it were necessary in order for the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT. The Company anticipates that only a small portion of the principal of the Company's mortgage indebtedness will be repaid prior to maturity. However, if the Company does not have funds sufficient to repay such indebtedness at maturity, the Company may need to refinance indebtedness through additional debt financing or equity offerings. S-16 If the Company is unable to refinance this indebtedness on acceptable terms, the Company may be forced to dispose of Properties upon disadvantageous terms, which could result in losses to the Company and adversely affect the amount of cash available for distribution to stockholders. If prevailing interest rates or other economic conditions result in higher interest rates at a time when the Company must refinance its indebtedness, the Company's interest expense would increase, which would adversely affect the Company's results of operations and its ability to pay expected distributions to stockholders. Further, if a Property or Properties are mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and the Company is unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose or otherwise transfer the Property or Properties, with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. Even with respect to nonrecourse indebtedness, the lender may have the right to recover deficiencies from the Company in certain circumstances, including fraud and environmental liabilities. See "Properties--Mortgage Indebtedness and Credit Facility." Risk of Adverse Effect of Increase in Market Interest Rates on Variable Interest Rates. Outstanding advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate. The Company may incur additional variable rate indebtedness in the future. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase the Company's interest expense, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and its ability to pay expected distributions to stockholders. An increase in interest expense could also cause the Company to be in default under certain Credit Facility covenants. Limits on Control and Other Risks Involved in Joint Ownership of Properties The Company holds (i) a 76% general and limited partner interest in the property partnership that owns the Center Plaza Property, (ii) a 50% general partner interest in the property partnership that owns the One Post Office Square Property, (iii) a 90% limited partner interest (through Beacon Property Management Corporation and Beacon Construction Company, Inc.) in Rowes Wharf Limited Partnership (a limited partnership that owns a 50% general partner interest in Rowes Wharf Associates, the entity that owns the hotel space and leases the office and retail space at the Rowes Wharf Property), (iv) a 10% general and limited partner interest in the property partnership that owns the Polk and Taylor Buildings Property, and (v) approximately 51.6% of the common stock of a private REIT that holds a direct fee interest in the 75-101 Federal Street Property. The Company is not in a position to exercise sole decision making authority regarding One Post Office Square, Rowes Wharf, the Polk and Taylor Buildings, or 75-101 Federal Street. However, the Company is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of each of these Properties. Joint ownership of Properties may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not otherwise present in wholly- owned properties. Such risks include the possibility that the Company's partners or co-investors might become bankrupt, develop business interests or goals inconsistent with the business interests or goals of the Company, or take action contrary to the instructions or requests of the Company or contrary to the Company's policies or objectives, including the Company's policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT. Joint ownership also involves the potential risk of impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither the Company nor the partners or co-investors have full control over the entity owning the Property. Consequently, actions by such partners or co-investors might result in subjecting jointly-owned Properties to additional risk. The Company will, however, seek to maintain sufficient control of the entities holding jointly-owned Properties to permit the Company's business objectives to be achieved. Any capital contribution by the Company or the Operating Partnership to the property partnerships that own (directly or indirectly) the Rowes Wharf and Center Plaza Properties requires the approval of the Directors of the Company who are neither officers of the Company nor affiliated with The Beacon Companies. The Company's organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that may be invested in partnerships, joint ventures, or co-investments. Limits on Ownership May Deter Changes in Management In order to maintain its REIT qualification, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year) (the "Five or Fewer Requirement"). In order to protect the Company against the risk of losing its REIT status due to a concentration of ownership among its stockholders, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company limit ownership of the issued and outstanding Common Stock by any single stockholder to 6.0% of the S-17 aggregate value of the Company's shares of capital stock from time to time; provided, however, that entities whose ownership of Common Stock is attributed to the beneficial owners of such entities for purposes of the Five and Fewer Requirement (such as pension trusts qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Code, United States investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, partnerships, trusts, and corporations) are limited by the Company's Articles of Incorporation to holding no more than 9.9% of the aggregate value of the Company's shares of Common Stock. The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors can waive these ownership limitations if the Board is satisfied, based upon the advice of tax counsel, that ownership in excess of these limits will not jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT, and further, that such waiver would be in the best interest of the Company. A transfer of shares to a person who, as a result of the transfer, would violate the ownership limitations will be void. Shares acquired or transferred in breach of the ownership limitations will be automatically converted into shares not entitled to vote or to participate in dividends or other distributions. In addition, shares acquired or transferred in breach of the ownership limitations may be purchased by the Company for the lesser of the price paid and the average closing price for the ten trading days immediately preceding redemption. Real Estate Investment Risks General Risks. Investments of the Company are subject to the risks incident to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate generally. The yields available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income generated and expenses incurred. If the Company's Properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, the Company's results of operations and ability to make distributions to its stockholders will be adversely affected. A commercial property's revenues and value may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the national, state and local economic climate; real estate conditions (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates); the perceptions of prospective tenants of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties; the ability of the owner to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance; the ability to collect all rent from tenants on a timely basis; the expense of periodically renovating, repairing and reletting spaces; and the increase of operating costs (including real estate taxes and utilities) that may not be passed through to tenants. Certain significant expenditures associated with investments in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in rental revenues from the property. If a property is mortgaged to secure the payment of indebtedness and if the Company is unable to meet its mortgage payments, a loss could be sustained as a result of foreclosure on the property or the exercise of other remedies by the mortgagee. In addition, real estate values and income from properties are also affected by such factors as compliance with laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. Risks of Acquisition Activities. The Company intends to acquire existing office and commercial properties to the extent that they can be acquired on advantageous terms and meet the Company's investment criteria. In light of current conditions in the Company's target market areas, the Company anticipates that in the near future additional properties will be added to the Company's portfolio through acquisitions rather than new development and construction. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, including the risk that investments will fail to perform as expected or that estimates of the cost of improvements to bring an acquired property up to standards established for the intended market position may prove inaccurate. Risks of Development Activities. The Company also intends to continue the development of office and other commercial properties, in accordance with the Company's development and underwriting policies as opportunities arise in the future. Risks associated with such development activities include the risk that: the Company may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility; construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates; occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the properties profitable; financing may not be available on favorable terms for development of a property; and construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs. S-18 Development activities are also subject to risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other required governmental permits and authorizations. If any of the foregoing occurs, the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition, new development activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require a substantial portion of management's time and attention. The Company anticipates that future development will be financed, in whole or in part, through additional equity offerings or under lines of credit or other forms of secured or unsecured construction financing that will result in the risk that, upon completion of construction, permanent financing for newly developed properties may not be available or may be available only on disadvantageous terms. If a project is unsuccessful, the Company's losses may exceed its investment in the project. Potential Adverse Effect on Results of Operations Due to Risks Associated With Tenant Defaults. Substantially all of the Company's income is derived from rental income from real property. Consequently, the Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants at the Properties failed to meet their lease obligations. In the event of a default by a lessee, the Company may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur substantial costs in protecting its investment. Additionally, as a significant number of the Company's tenants are in the financial services, legal and accounting businesses, the Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders would be adversely affected if these industries experienced a significant reduction in workforce. At any time, a tenant of the Properties may also seek protection under the bankruptcy laws, which could result in rejection and termination of such tenant's lease and thereby cause a reduction in the cash available for distribution by the Company. If a tenant rejects its lease, the Company's claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be treated as a general unsecured claim. The amount of the claim would be capped at the amount owed for unpaid pre-petition lease payments unrelated to the rejection, plus the greater of one year's lease payment or 15% of the remaining lease payments payable under the lease (but not to exceed the amount of three years' lease payments). No assurance can be given that the Company will not experience significant tenant defaults in the future. Potential Adverse Effect on Results of Operations Due to Risks Associated With Ground Leases. Two of the Properties and 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, a Pending Acquisition, are the subject of long-term ground leases. In the case of the lease on the office and retail portions of the Rowes Wharf Property, the landlord becomes the owner of the portion of the Property subject to the lease at the expiration of the term of the lease or at the earlier termination by reason of a breach of the lease by the tenant. The lease on the Rowes Wharf Property, which expires in 2065, does not contain an extension option but includes an option to purchase. The ground lease on the South Station Property expires in 2024. The landlord becomes the owner of the South Station Property at the expiration of the term of the ground lease or at the earlier termination by reason of a breach of the lease by the tenant. The Company will have the right to extend the lease for two additional 15-year terms, subject to the landlord's right to terminate such additional periods upon two years' notice and payment to the Company of certain termination payments. The ground lease at 10880 Wilshire Boulevard expires in 2068. The Company will have an option to purchase the ground under 10880 Wilshire Boulevard at fair market value in 2001. The Company's results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected to the extent the Properties subject to ground leases revert back to the landlord at the termination of the ground lease or the Company incurs additional expense by purchasing the ground under these Properties at the termination of these ground leases. Potential Adverse Effect on Results of Operations Due to Risks Associated With Market Illiquidity. Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity will tend to limit the ability of the Company to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions, such as changes in the local or national real estate market. In addition, provisions of the Code limit the Company's ability to sell properties held for fewer than four years, which may affect the Company's ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to holders of Common Stock. Potential Adverse Effect on Results of Operations Due to Operating Risks. The Properties are subject to operating risks common to commercial real estate in general, any and all of which may adversely affect occupancy or rental rates. The Properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning; elevator repair and maintenance; insurance and administrative costs; and other general costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs and maintenance. While the Company's tenants are currently obligated to pay these escalating costs, there can be no assurance that tenants S-19 will agree to pay such costs upon renewal or that new tenants will agree to pay such costs. If operating expenses increase, the local rental market may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet such increased expenses without decreasing occupancy rates. While the Company implements cost-saving incentive measures at each of its Properties, if any of the foregoing occurs, the Company's results of operations and its ability to make distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. Risk of Investment in Mortgage Debt The Company may invest in mortgages that are secured by existing office and commercial properties in circumstances where the Company anticipates that such investments may result in the Company's acquisition of the related properties through foreclosure proceedings or negotiated settlements. In addition to the risks associated with investments in commercial office properties, investments in mortgage indebtedness present the additional risks that the fee owners of such properties may default in payments of interest on a current basis or file for bankruptcy, which may stay the Company's foreclosure of such mortgages and receipt of payments thereunder. Under such circumstances, the Company may not realize its anticipated investment return, and may sustain losses relating to such investments. Risk of Adverse Effect on Results of Operations due to Possible Environmental Liabilities The Company's operating costs may be affected by the obligation to pay for the cost of complying with existing environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, as well as the cost of complying with future legislation. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate such property properly, may adversely affect the owner's ability to borrow by using such real property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the transportation, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is or ever was owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for releases of hazardous materials, including asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs"), into the environment, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to released ACMs or other hazardous materials. Environmental laws may also impose restrictions on the manner in which a property may be used or transferred or in which businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. In connection with the ownership and operation of the Properties, the Company may be potentially liable for any such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability or remediating contaminated property and the cost of complying with such environmental laws could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Phase I environmental site assessments ("ESAs") have been conducted at all of the Properties by qualified independent environmental engineers. The purpose of Phase I ESAs is to identify potential sources of contamination for which the Properties may be responsible and to assess the status of environmental regulatory compliance. The ESAs have not revealed any environmental liability or compliance concerns that the Company believes would have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, assets, results of operations or liquidity, nor is the Company aware of any such liability or concerns. Nevertheless, it is possible that these ESAs did not reveal all environmental liabilities or compliance concerns or that material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns exist of which the Company is currently unaware. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority, and has no other knowledge of, any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental substances in connection with any of its Properties except as previously disclosed in documents incorporated herein by reference or as noted below. Possible Additional Risks Associated with Investments in Subsidiaries The capital stock of each of Beacon Property Management Corporation, Beacon Construction Company, Inc. and Beacon Design Corporation (collectively, the "Subsidiary Corporations") is divided into two classes: voting and nonvoting common stock. Of the voting common stock, 99% is held by officers and/or directors of such S-20 Subsidiary Corporations (each of whom, as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, is also an officer and/or director of the Company) and 1% is held by the Operating Partnership. Of the nonvoting common stock, 100% is held by the Operating Partnership. Management's 99% voting common stock represents 1% of the economic interests in each of the Subsidiary Corporations. Members of each Subsidiary Corporation's management, as the holders of 99% of the voting common stock, retain the ability to elect the board of directors of each of the Subsidiary Corporations. Although the nonvoting common stock and the voting common stock of each of the Subsidiary Corporations held by the Company represents 99% of the economic interests in such corporations, the Company is not able to elect directors. Its ability to influence the day-to-day decisions affecting these corporations may therefore be limited. As a result, the board of directors and management of each of the Subsidiary Corporations may implement business policies or decisions that would not have been implemented by persons controlled by the Company, and that are adverse to the interests of the Company or that could adversely impact the Company's results of operations. The bylaws of each of the Subsidiary Corporations require that the voting common stock in such Subsidiary Corporation be held by officers of such Subsidiary Corporation at all times and require holders of voting common stock to enter into an agreement to that effect. Adverse Effect of Increase in Market Interest Rates on Price of Common Stock One of the factors that will influence the market price of the Common Stock in public markets is the annual yield on the price paid for shares of Common Stock from distributions by the Company. An increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of the Common Stock to demand a higher annual yield from future distributions. Such an increase in the required distributions yield may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. S-21 THE COMPANY General The Company is a self-administered and self-managed REIT which owns a portfolio of Class A office properties and other commercial properties located in major metropolitan areas, including Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., as well as commercial real estate development, acquisition, leasing and management businesses. Class A office properties generally are considered to be those that have excellent locations and access, attract high quality tenants, are well maintained and professionally managed, and achieve among the highest rent, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. The Properties comprise approximately 15.8 million rentable square feet in the aggregate and, as of December 31, 1996, were approximately 96% leased with over 1,100 tenants. The Company is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth. Upon completion of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have invested approximately $1.5 billion in office properties since January 1996, increasing its interests in real estate by over 290%. The Company has entered into contracts to acquire the Pending Acquisitions for aggregate consideration of approximately $339.1 million. If all of the Pending Acquisitions are consummated, the Company will own or have an interest in 112 income producing commercial properties encompassing approximately 17.8 million rentable square feet, approximately 79% of which will be located in suburban office markets and approximately 21% of which will be located in downtown office markets, primarily in Boston. Assuming the consummation of all of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have a total market capitalization of approximately $2.9 billion. The Company's business is conducted principally through the Operating Partnership, two subsidiary corporations and two subsidiary limited partnerships. The Company conducts third-party management operations through the Management Company and conducts third-party tenant space design services through the Design Company. Through the Management Company, the Company manages approximately 2.9 million square feet of commercial and office space owned by third parties in various locations including Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Chicago, Illinois. The Company conducts management operations for wholly-owned properties through the Management Partnership, and conducts tenant space design services for wholly-owned properties through the Design Partnership. The Company's executive offices are located at 50 Rowes Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts 02110 and its telephone number at that location is (617) 330-1400. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Recent Acquisitions Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park. In December 1996, the Company acquired Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park for aggregate consideration of approximately $184 million (including approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures). The Company purchased the Properties from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. The Shoreline Technology Park is a 12-building complex developed between 1985 and 1991 which encompasses approximately 727,000 square feet. Shoreline Technology Park is the headquarters of Silicon Graphics, Inc., which is the sole tenant of the Property. The Lake Marriott Business Park is a 7-building complex developed in 1981 which encompasses approximately 400,000 square feet. Major tenants in the Lake Marriott Business Park include Silicon Valley Bank (approximately 101,000 square feet) and Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc. (approximately 97,000 square feet). The Shoreline Technology Park and substantially all of the Lake Marriott Business Park are currently leased on a "triple-net" basis. The aggregate occupancy rate of both Properties as of December 31, 1996 was 100%. Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park are located in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market. According to Cornish & Carey, the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market, which consists of approximately 129 million rentable square feet, had an overall vacancy rate of 5.3% as of December 31, 1996. Cornish & Carey S-22 also reports that the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market experienced Net Absorption of approximately 1.7 million square feet in 1996. Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park represent the Company's first acquisitions in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market. As part of its continuing analysis of major office markets and investment opportunities, the Company has determined that the San Francisco and San Jose metropolitan areas possess attractive market fundamentals, including growth in office-using employment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, approximately 13,400 office-using jobs were created in the San Francisco and San Jose metropolitan area, primarily in business services including multi-media, computer software and hardware and consulting. The Company has further determined that the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market is particularly attractive due to its high concentration of knowledge-based industries including biotechnology, communications, and computer hardware and software as well as its proximity to major universities. Additionally, the Company believes there is substantial constraint on new supply of office space in the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market due to geographic barriers and the high cost of land. Based upon its survey of brokers in the market and other internal research, the Company believes that the existing rental rates per square foot at Shoreline Technology Park and Lake Marriott Business Park are below current market rates by approximately $7 to $9 and $5 to $7, respectively. The Company expects that the net operating income generated by the Properties will increase as current leases are renewed, and new leases are made, at current market rates, although no assurances can be made in this regard. The Company expects to incur certain tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions in connection with the releasing of this space. For a description of the Silicon Valley Office/R&D Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Suburban Chicago Office Market Presidents Plaza. In December 1996, the Company acquired Presidents Plaza from MetLife. Aggregate consideration for Presidents Plaza consisted of 1,171,500 Units issued to MetLife (valued at approximately $39 million at the closing of the acquisition) and approximately $38 million in cash. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $1 million of non-recurring capital expenditures at the Property. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for Presidents Plaza is approximately 60% of replacement cost. Presidents Plaza, located at 8600 and 8700 West Bryn Mawr Avenue near O'Hare International Airport, consists of two sets of 10- and 12-story towers encompassing an aggregate of approximately 791,000 square feet. The Property was developed between 1980 and 1982. Major tenants at the Property include Cotter & Co. (approximately 175,000 square feet), Wilson Sporting Goods Co. (approximately 109,000 square feet) and Gas Research Institute (approximately 97,000 square feet). As of December 31, 1996, the Property was approximately 90% leased. Presidents Plaza is located in the O'Hare submarket of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. With the acquisition of Presidents Plaza, the Company increased its holdings of office properties in the Suburban Chicago Office Market to approximately 1.6 million square feet. According to Grubb & Ellis, the entire suburban Chicago Office Market had an overall vacancy rate of 11.2% as of December 31, 1996, while the O'Hare submarket had a vacancy rate of 14.8% for the same period. Grubb & Ellis also reports that the O'Hare submarket experienced Net Absorption of approximately 242,000 square feet in 1996. The Company believes that the Suburban Chicago Office Market possesses attractive market fundamentals, as evidenced by the creation of approximately 34,000 office-using jobs in the Chicago metropolitan area during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For a description of the Suburban Chicago Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Greater Boston Suburban Office Market Crosby Corporate Center. In December 1996, the Company acquired a 28.6-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Crosby Corporate Center located in Bedford, Massachusetts. See "--Other Developments." Pending Acquisitions The Company has entered into contracts to purchase the Pending Acquisitions for aggregate consideration of approximately $339.1 million (including approximately $2.2 million in non-recurring capital expenditures). The Company currently expects to complete the purchase of the Pending Acquisitions during the second quarter of 1997. However, the purchase of each of the Pending Acquisitions is subject to various closing conditions. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the Company will acquire any or all of the Pending Acquisitions. In addition to the Pending Acquisitions, as part of its ongoing business, the Company continually engages in discussions with public and private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or single asset acquisitions in S-23 various major metropolitan areas. No assurances can be made that the Company will acquire any of the property opportunities currently under review. The following describes each of the Pending Acquisitions. Suburban Chicago Office Market Westbrook Corporate Center. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire Westbrook Corporate Center, a five-building office complex located in Westchester (suburban Chicago), Illinois. The purchase price of the property is approximately $182.1 million, consisting of the expected assumption of approximately $106 million of mortgage debt, the issuance of approximately $50 million of Units and approximately $26.1 million in cash. The sellers of Westbrook Corporate Center are currently negotiating with their existing lender regarding this indebtedness. If the sellers successfully negotiate the terms of such indebtedness, the Company will assume such indebtedness upon the closing of the acquisition. Alternatively, the Company will secure nonrecourse indebtedness on the property in connection with the consummation of the acquisition. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for the Westbrook Corporate Center is approximately 90% of replacement cost. In addition, the Company has also contracted to purchase a 10-acre parcel of land suitable for development which is contiguous to the property for $3.5 million within twelve months of the acquisition. The Company has agreed to maintain at least $106 million of nonrecourse indebtedness outstanding on the property and not to dispose of the real estate for ten years. If the Company should choose to modify the financing or dispose of the real estate within this time period it may be required to make payments to the seller. Westbrook Corporate Center consists of five 10-story office buildings comprising an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million square feet. The buildings each contain approximately 220,000 square feet and were developed between 1985 and 1996. Major tenants in the Westbrook Corporate Center include Navistar International Corporation (approximately 100,000 square feet), Ameritech (approximately 70,000 square feet), Peoplesoft (approximately 53,000 square feet), Premier Health (approximately 45,000 square feet) and SAP America (approximately 55,000 square feet). The aggregate occupancy rate for the Westbrook Corporate Center as of December 31, 1996 was approximately 90%. Nearly all of the vacancy at the property is attributable to the newest building in the complex which opened in February 1996. Westbrook Corporate Center is located in the East-West Corridor of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. The Company currently owns approximately 1.6 million square feet of office Properties in the Suburban Chicago Office Market. According to Grubb & Ellis, the entire Suburban Chicago Office Market had an overall vacancy rate of 11.2% as of December 31, 1996, while the East-West Corridor submarket had a vacancy rate of 9.8% for the same period. Grubb & Ellis also reports that the East-West Corridor submarket experienced Net Absorption of approximately 524,000 square feet for 1996. The Company believes that the Suburban Chicago Office Market possesses attractive market fundamentals, as evidenced by the creation of approximately 34,000 office-using jobs in the Chicago metropolitan area during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For a description of the Suburban Chicago Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." West Los Angeles Office Market 10880 Wilshire Boulevard. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire the leasehold interest in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard located in Westwood, California. The ground lessor of 10880 Wilshire Boulevard has a right of first refusal on the sale of this property. The Company expects that the ground lessor will not exercise its right of first refusal in connection with the Company's purchase of this property. In connection with the acquisition, the Company will also acquire the right to purchase the fee interest in the land underlying 10880 Wilshire Boulevard at fair market value in 2001. The Company will acquire the leasehold interest in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard for aggregate consideration of approximately $102 million in cash (including approximately $2.2 million in expected non-recurring capital expenditures), approximately 75% of replacement cost. The 10880 Wilshire Boulevard property was built in 1970 and has undergone approximately $34 million of capital improvements since 1992. The property consists of approximately 531,000 square feet in a 23-story office S-24 building. This property is one of the largest buildings in the Westwood submarket of the West Los Angeles Office Market and given the current constraints on development described below, this property cannot be duplicated in its market. The property is located near Interstates 405 and 10 with easy access to other West Los Angeles markets, downtown, the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles airport. In addition, the property, which meets current earthquake construction codes, is located in a business district, adjacent to other Class A office buildings, Westwood Village, a retail area, and the UCLA campus. Major tenants in 10880 Wilshire Boulevard include Showtime/Viacom International Inc. (approximately 68,000 square feet), Corporate Media Partners (approximately 64,000 square feet), Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (approximately 50,000 square feet) and Pardee Construction Company (approximately 33,000 square feet). The Company currently intends to retain the existing property manager of 10880 Wilshire Boulevard following the consummation of the acquisition to facilitate the leasing and management of the property. As of December 31, 1996, the occupancy rate for 10880 Wilshire Boulevard was approximately 85%. With the acquisition of 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, the Company will own approximately 1.1 million square feet of office space in the Westwood submarket of the West Los Angeles Office Market. According to CB Commercial, the entire West Los Angeles Office Market (consisting of approximately 34 million square feet) had an overall vacancy rate of 11.4% as of December 31, 1996, while the Westwood submarket (consisting of approximately 2.7 million square feet) experienced a vacancy rate of 9.1% for the same period. CB Commercial also reports that the West Los Angeles Office Market experienced Net Absorption of approximately 600,000 square feet in 1996. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the twelve months ended November 30, 1996, approximately 51,000 office-using jobs were created in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, primarily in the entertainment, export/import, healthcare, telecommunications and aerospace industries. Additionally, limited sites are available for development in the Westwood submarket and this submarket has significant constraints on development including substantial development fees and/or the limitation of new development to 1.5 floor-area-ratio with five-story height limitations. For a description of the West Los Angeles Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." The Company expects that the net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) generated by the property will increase $2.0 million and $600,000, respectively during 1998 and 1999 as free rent provisions in current leases expire. Additionally, the Company expects that the net operating income generated by the property will further increase as new leases are made at market rates, although no assurances can be made in this regard. Approximately 78,000 square feet at the property is currently available for occupancy. The Company expects to incur certain tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions in connection with the leasing of this space. The Fairfax County, Virginia Market Centerpointe I and II. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire Centerpointe I and II for aggregate consideration of approximately $55 million, consisting of approximately $25 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $30 million of mortgage debt. The Company estimates that the aggregate purchase price for Centerpointe I and II is approximately 75% of replacement cost. The Centerpointe property contains approximately 409,000 square feet and consists of (i) Centerpointe I, an 11-story office building built in 1988 and comprising approximately 204,500 square feet and (ii) Centerpointe II, an 11-story office building built in 1990 comprising approximately 204,500 square feet. The sole tenant at Centerpointe I is American Management Systems, Inc., which also occupies approximately 100,000 square feet in Centerpointe II. Other major tenants at Centerpointe II include Fujitsu Business Communications Systems, Inc. (approximately 20,000 square feet) and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (approximately 15,000 square feet). As of December 31, 1996, the aggregate occupancy rate for Centerpointe I and II was approximately 100%. In connection with the acquisition of Centerpointe I and II, the Company has also entered into an option/put arrangement with the sellers of Centerpointe I and II on an adjacent 7.8 acre parcel of land suitable for development. The Company believes that this parcel could support up to approximately 340,000 square feet of office space, subject to obtaining appropriate permitting. Centerpointe I and II are located in the Fairfax County, Virginia market. The Company currently owns approximately 550,000 square feet of office Properties in Fairfax County, Virginia. According to Grubb & Ellis, the Fairfax County, Virginia Market had an overall vacancy rate of 6.7% as of December 31, 1996 and experienced Net Absorption of approximately 3.3 million square feet for 1996. For a description of the Fairfax County, Virginia Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." S-25 Capitalization Rates The following table sets forth the Capitalization Rates for the Shoreline Technology Park/Lake Marriott Business Park, Presidents Plaza and the Pending Acquisitions. The Capitalization Rates are calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of any straight-line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997 by (b) the consideration paid for the property, including any expected capital improvements.

(1) Pending Acquisitions appear in italics. (2) Net operating income includes approximately $725,000 of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $475,000 and $320,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. (3) Net operating income includes approximately $2.84 million of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $1 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $640,000 and $670,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. (4) Net operating income includes approximately $1.2 million of straight-line rents. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $1.2 million and $385,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. Additionally, the Company expects that net operating income will increase as vacant space in the newest building in the complex which opened in February 1996 is leased, however, no assurances can be made in this regard. The Return on Equity (as defined below) invested by the Company in the Westbrook Corporate Center is expected to be 12.9%. Return on Equity is calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of straight line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997 less expected debt service on the Expected Westbrook Debt by (b) the consideration paid for the property less the principal amount of the Expected Westbrook Debt. (5) Net operating income includes approximately $2.7 million of straight-line rents. Consideration Paid includes approximately $2.2 million of expected non-recurring capital expenditures. As discussed above, the Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase approximately $2.0 million and $600,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 as free rent provisions in current leases expire. The Company also expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $195,000 and $210,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. Additionally, the Company expects that net operating income will further increase as new leases are made at market rates, although no assurance can be made in this regard. (6) Net operating income includes approximately $800,000 of straight-line rents. The Company expects that net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) will increase by approximately $270,000 and $420,000, respectively, during 1998 and 1999 due to contractual rent increases scheduled to occur during those periods. The Return on Equity invested by the Company in Centerpointe I and II is expected to be 13.3%. Return on Equity is calculated by dividing (a) the expected net operating income (including the effect of straight line rents) generated by the property based upon annualized revenues from signed leases in place at the property as of March 1, 1997, less expected debt service on the Expected Centerpointe Debt by (b) the consideration paid for the property less the principal amount of the Expected Centerpointe Debt. S-26 Potential Acquisitions As part of its ongoing business, the Company actively seeks opportunities to acquire additional properties on favorable terms. The purchase of any of these potential acquisitions is subject to satisfaction of numerous conditions, including, without limitation, the completion of due diligence and, with respect to the Rosemont, Illinois office complexes, the negotiation and execution of definitive purchase agreements. Additionally, the purchase of the Rosemont, Illinois office complexes are subject to rights of certain tenants to purchase portions of each of the two complexes. No assurances can be given that the Company will acquire any of the property opportunities currently under review. Rosemont, Illinois Office Complexes. In March 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire two office complexes located in Rosemont, Illinois (suburban Chicago) comprising an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million square feet and which include approximately 2.9 acres of land suitable for the development of approximately 250,000 square feet of additional office space. This acquisition is subject, among other things, to the rights of certain tenants to purchase portions of each of the two complexes. See "Properties and Pending Acquisitions" for a description of the O'Hare submarket of the Suburban Chicago Office Market. 175 Wyman Street. In March 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire 26.7 acres of land suitable for development and a vacant 335,000 square foot office/research and development complex located at 175 Wyman Street in Waltham (suburban Boston), Massachusetts for approximately $24.0 million.

The Company is negotiating to sell the Westlakes Office Park, the Company's sole Property in the Suburban Philadelphia Office Market. The consummation of this sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, purchaser's satisfactory completion of its due diligence. At the Company's option, the transaction may be structured as a like-kind exchange. Crosby Corporate Center. In December 1996, the Company acquired a 29-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Crosby Corporate Center. This parcel has approximately 250,000 square feet of building capacity, and the Company expects that development of a significant portion of the land could commence in the second quarter of 1997, although no assurances can be made in this regard. The Company believes that demand for office space in the Northwest submarket of the Greater Boston Suburban Office Market (the location of the Crosby Corporate Center) will continue as several major tenants at the Property experience substantial growth. No assurances can be made that such increased demand will occur. For a description of the Greater Boston Suburban Office Market, see "Properties and Pending Acquisitions." Sale of Beacon Construction Company. In December 1996, the Construction Company sold substantially all of its assets. The Construction Company's new business plan involves the completion of certain contracts not transferred to the purchaser and the liquidation of its remaining assets. The Company's decision to effect the sale of the Construction Company was based upon the determination that the third-party construction business was no longer an integral part of the Company's business. S-27 PROPERTIES AND PENDING ACQUISITIONS The Company owns a portfolio of Class A office properties and other commercial properties located in major metropolitan areas, including Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The Properties encompass approximately 15.8 million rentable square feet. Class A office properties generally are considered to have excellent locations and access, attract high quality tenants, be well maintained and professionally managed and achieve among the highest rent, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. The Downtown Boston Office Market Market Information According to Spaulding & Slye, as of December 31, 1996, there were approximately 47.4 million square feet of private sector office space in the Downtown Boston Office Market. The following table sets forth the vacancy rates for the Downtown Boston Office Market from 1992 through 1996.
Period Vacancy Rate - --------- --------------- 1992 15.9% 1993 16.3% 1994 12.1% 1995 11.5% 1996 5.2%(a)
(a) For periods prior to 1996, Spaulding & Slye calculated vacancy rate (or available space) as space actively marketed for immediate or future occupancy, including space available for sublet. For periods beginning in 1996, Spaulding & Slye also calculates vacancy rate as space available for immediate occupancy. Under the original definition, the vacancy rate (or available space) in 1996 would have been 7.6%. Source: Spaulding & Slye Office Market Reports 1992 through January 1997. Spaulding & Slye reports that Net Absorption in 1996 was 1.6 million square feet and 400,000 square feet in 1995. This significant amount of Net Absorption is largely due to growth in the financial services, publishing and legal sections, together with the relocation of certain federal government groups.

All capital expenditures presented for the Properties are non-incremental revenue-generating and therefore exclude redevelopment costs associated with Crosby Corporate Center and 100 William Street. As noted, revenue-generating tenant improvement costs are excluded from the table set forth immediately below. Such costs generally relate to vacant space, unless a prior tenant was paying rent while such space was being improved for a future tenant, in which case the costs to improve such space were considered non-incremental revenue-generating and, therefore, included in the table. The historical capital expenditures and tenant improvement costs set forth below are not necessarily indicative of future recurring, non-incremental revenue-generating capital expenditures or non- incremental revenue-generating tenant improvement costs.

As of April 1, 1997, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Rowes Wharf Associates' first mortgage debt, which consists of two tiers of debt, equals approximately $201.2 million. The first-tier debt is equal to approximately $126.0 million, currently bears interest at a rate of 8.71% per annum and matures in April 1999. Pursuant to its terms, the first-tier debt may be prepaid at any time and principal repayment may be extended for up to three years, provided that a 1.1 interest coverage is achieved at that time. Rowes Wharf Associates currently maintains a significant cash account to fund any shortfalls on this debt. The second-tier debt is equal to approximately $75.2 million, currently bears interest at the lesser of 6.0% or 50.0% of cash flow after interest payments have been made in respect of the first-tier debt and matures in April 2002. The second-tier debt may be prepaid in full with 50% of the net proceeds from certain sales or refinancings of Rowes Wharf Associates' debt, regardless of the amount of such proceeds, or at maturity based on the appraised value of the Property. S-59 USE OF PROCEEDS The net cash proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby, after deduction of estimated expenses of the Offering, are estimated to be approximately $230.3 million (approximately $264.8 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company intends to apply approximately $137.0 million of the net proceeds of the Offering to purchase the Pending Acquisitions (or repay amounts drawn under the Credit Facility to acquire the Pending Acquisitions) and approximately $93.3 million of the net proceeds to repay amounts drawn under the Credit Facility in connection with the purchase of the Recent Acquisitions. The Company will also assume approximately $136 million of mortgage debt and issue approximately $50 million of Units to consummate the Pending Acquisitions. All outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility mature in June 1999 and generally bear interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the higher of (x) Bank of Boston's base interest rate and (y) one-half of one percent (1/2%) above the overnight federal funds effective rate or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus 175 basis points (1.75%). No prepayment penalties are required in connection with the repayment of the Credit Facility. Pending application of the net proceeds, the Company will invest such portion of the net proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities. S-60 PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DISTRIBUTION HISTORY The Company's Common Stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol "BCN." On March 26, 1997, the reported closing sale price per share of Common Stock on the NYSE was $35 and there were approximately 410 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing sales prices per share of the Common Stock reported on the NYSE and the distributions paid by the Company with respect to each such period. Quarter Ended High Low Distributions --------------------------------------------------- -------- ---------------- March 31, 1995 $20 $17-1/2 $.40 June 30, 1995 $21-1/8 $19-1/4 $.42 September 30, 1995 $21-3/4 $19-7/8 $.42 December 31, 1995 $23 $20-1/8 $.42 March 31, 1996 $26-5/8 $22-5/8 $.42 June 30, 1996 $26-1/4 $24-1/4 $.4625 September 30, 1996 $29 $24-3/4 $.4625 December 31, 1996 $37 $28-3/4 $.4625 March 31, 1997 (through March 26, 1997) $36-3/8 $34-1/8 N/A The Company pays a quarterly distribution on its Common Stock of $.4625 per share, which on an annualized basis, is equal to an annual distribution of $1.85 per share of Common Stock. Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's financial condition, its capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the United States Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. There can be no assurance that any such distributions will be made by the Company. Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain. Distributions that are treated as a reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock will have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the stockholder's shares. The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment program under which holders of Common Stock may elect automatically to reinvest dividends in additional Common Stock. The Company may, from time to time, repurchase Common Stock in the open market for purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this dividend reinvestment program or may elect to issue additional Common Stock. Historical Total Return An investor who purchased Common Stock in the Company's Initial Public Offering on May 24, 1994, who reinvested all dividends paid in additional shares of Common Stock, and who held such shares through the close of business on March 26, 1997 would have had a cumulative pretax total return of 153% or an annual compounded pretax return of 38% based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on March 26, 1997. Past performance, however, is not necessarily indicative of the results that will be obtained in the future from an investment in the Common Stock, and no assurance can be given that an investor in this Offering will achieve similar results. S-61 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company on an historical basis as of December 31, 1996, and for the Company as adjusted to give effect to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock in the Offering and the application of the net proceeds from the Offering as if the Offering and the acquisitions of the Pending Acquisitions had occurred on December 31, 1996.

The Severance Agreements define a "change in control" as (i) any person becoming a beneficial owner of the securities of the Company representing a specified percentage of either (A) the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities having the right to vote for the Company's Board of Directors or (B) the then outstanding shares of all classes of stock of the Company, or (ii) individuals who, at the date of the Severance Agreements, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbent Directors") cease to constitute at least a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a director whose election or nomination was approved by at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an Incumbent Director, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve (A) any consolidation or merger where the Company's stock does not represent at least 50% of the voting shares of the surviving company, (B) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The Severance Agreements define a "terminating event" as any of the following events occurring subsequent to a "change in control": (i) termination by the Company of the employment of the executive for any reason other than (A) a willful act of dishonesty by the executive, (B) a conviction of the executive of a crime involving moral turpitude, (C) the gross or willful failure by the executive to substantially perform his or her duties, or (D) the failure by the executive to perform his or her full-time duties by reason of his or her death, disability or retirement, or (ii) termination by the executive of his or her employment with the Company upon the occurence of (A) a substantial adverse change in the nature or scope of the executive's responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties, (B) a substantial reduction in the executive's annual base salary, (C) a relocation of the Company's offices or (D) the failure by the Company to obtain an effective agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the Severance Agreement. The Company intends to execute definitive documentation regarding the Severance Arrangements during the second quarter of 1997. S-70 FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following is a brief and general summary of the material federal income tax considerations relating to the tax treatment of Common Stock. The following assumes the Company has and will continue to qualify as a REIT. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus. Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP has acted as counsel to the Company and has reviewed this summary and is of the opinion that to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, or legal conclusions, this summary is accurate in all material respects. For the particular provisions that govern the federal income tax treatment of the Company and its stockholders, reference is made to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The statements in this discussion are based on current provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations, the legislative history of the Code, existing administrative rulings and practices of the Service, and judicial decisions. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative actions or decisions, which may be retroactive in effect, will not affect the accuracy of any statements in this Prospectus Supplement with respect to the transactions entered into or contemplated prior to the effective date of such changes. EACH INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK. Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to the Company's taxable U.S. shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will be taken into account by such U.S. shareholders as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporations. As used herein, the term "U.S. shareholder" means a holder of Common Stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, and that (v) is not an entity that has special status under the Code (such as a tax-exempt organization.) Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's actual net capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the period for which the shareholder has held his Common Stock. However, corporate shareholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder's Common Stock, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such stock. To the extent that such distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of a shareholder's Common Stock, such distributions will be included in income as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the shares of Common Stock have been held for one year or less) assuming the shares of Common Stock are a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. In addition, any distribution declared by the Company in October, November, or December of any year and payable to a shareholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by the Company and received by the shareholder on December 31 of such year, provided that the distribution is actually paid by the Company during January of the following calendar year. Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any net operating losses or capital losses of the Company. Instead, such losses would be carried over by the Company for potential offset against its future income (subject to certain limitations). Taxable distributions from the Company and gain from the disposition of Common Stock will not be treated as passive activity income and, therefore, shareholders generally will not be able to apply any "passive activity losses" (such as losses from certain types of limited partnerships in which the shareholder is a limited partner) against such income. In addition, taxable distributions from the Company generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitations. Capital gains from the disposition of shares of Common Stock (or distributions treated as such) will be treated as investment income only if the shareholder so elects, in which case such capital gains will be taxed at ordinary income rates. The Company will notify shareholders after the close of the Company's taxable year as to the portions of the distributions attributable to that year that constitute ordinary income, return of capital, and capital gain. Taxation of Shareholders on the Disposition of the Securities In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of the shares of Common Stock by a shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares of Common Stock have been held for more than one year and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock by a shareholder who has held such stock for six months or less (after applying certain holding period rules), will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of distributions from the Company required to be treated by such shareholder as long-term capital gain. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of S-71 shares of Common Stock may be disallowed if other shares of Common Stock are purchased within 30 days before or after the disposition. Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding The Company will report to its U.S. shareholders and the Service the amount of distributions paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to distributions paid unless such holder (i) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A shareholder who does not provide the Company with his correct taxpayer identification number also may be subject to penalties imposed by the Service. Any amount paid as backup withholding will be creditable against the shareholder's income tax liability. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to any shareholders who fail to certify their nonforeign status to the Company. The Service issued proposed regulations in April 1996 regarding the backup withholding rules. These proposed regulations would alter the current system of backup withholding compliance. Taxation of Tax-Exempt Shareholders Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts ("Exempt Organizations"), generally are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). While many investments in real estate generate UBTI, amounts distributed by the Company to an Exempt Organization generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if any Exempt Organization finances its acquisition of Common Stock with debt, a portion of its income from the Company will constitute UBTI pursuant to the "debt-financed property" rules. Furthermore, social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services plans that are exempt from taxation under paragraphs (7), (9), (17), and (20), respectively, of Code section 501(c) are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions from the Company as UBTI. In addition, in certain circumstances, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of the Company's stock is required to treat a percentage of the dividends from the Company as UBTI (the "UBTI Percentage"). The UBTI Percentage is the gross income derived by the Company from an unrelated trade or business (determined as if the Company were a pension trust) divided by the gross income of the Company for the year in which the dividends are paid. The UBTI rules applies to a pension trust holding more than 10% of the Company's stock only if (i) the UBTI Percentage is at least 5%, (ii) the Company qualifies as a REIT by reason of the modification of the 5/50 Rule that allows the beneficiaries of the pension trust to be treated as holding stock of the Company in proportion to their actuarial interests in the pension trust, and (iii) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of the Company's stock or (B) a group of pension trusts individually holding more than 10% of the value of the Company's stock collectively own more than 50% of the value of the Company's stock. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the appropriateness of an investment in the Securities offered hereby and with respect to the tax consequences arising under federal law and the laws of any state, municipality or other taxing jurisdiction, including tax consequences resulting from such investor's own tax characteristics. In particular, foreign investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Company, including the possibility of United States income tax withholding on Company distributions. S-72 UNDERWRITING Subject to the terms and conditions in the terms agreement and related underwriting agreement (collectively, the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Company and each of the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), the Company has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters, for whom Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, Lehman Brothers Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Smith Barney Inc. are acting as representatives (the "Representatives"), and each of the Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase from the Company the respective number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite their respective names. Number of Underwriter Shares ----------- Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation Lehman Brothers Inc. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. Smith Barney Inc. ----------- Total 7,000,000 =========== In the Underwriting Agreement, the several Underwriters have agreed, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement if any of such shares of Common Stock are purchased. Under certain circumstances, the commitments of non-defaulting Underwriters may be increased. The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Common Stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of $ per share on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this Prospectus Supplement, to purchase up to 1,050,000 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement. If the Underwriters exercise this option, each Underwriter will have a firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage thereof which the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by it shown in the foregoing table bears to the shares of Common Stock initially offered hereby. In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification of the Underwriters for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. The Company and the Operating Partnership have agreed that for a period of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus Supplement they will not, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, directly or indirectly, sell, offer or contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or Units or any security convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Units. The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "BCN." S-73 In connection with the Offering, the rules of the Commission permit the Representatives to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the Common Stock. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the Common Stock. If the Underwriters create a short position in the Common Stock in connection with the Offering, i.e., if they sell more shares of Common Stock than are set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement, the Representatives may reduce that short position by purchasing Common Stock in the open market. The Representatives may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option described above. The Representatives may also impose a penalty bid on certain Underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the Representatives purchase shares of Common Stock in the open market to reduce the Underwriters' short position or to stabilize the price of the Common Stock, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the Underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the Offering. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security. Neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Common Stock. In addition, neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters makes any representation that the Representatives will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. S-74 LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP, Boston, Massachusetts, a limited liability partnership including professional corporations, as corporate, securities, real estate and tax counsel to the Company, and by Goulston & Storrs, P.C., Boston, Massachusetts, as real estate counsel to the Company.

Menna, whose professional corporation is a partner of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP, is an assistant secretary of the Company and owns in excess of 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Certain legal matters related to the Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Brown & Wood LLP, New York, New York.

The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, rent expense, and the amortization of debt issuance costs. To date, the Company has not issued any Preferred Stock; therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividend requirements are the same as the ratios of earnings to fixed charges presented above. 3 DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES General The Company conducts substantially all of its business, and indirectly holds substantially all of its interests in the Properties, through the Operating Partnership. Consequently, the Operating Partnership, and not the Company, will issue the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and may be either senior Debt Securities ("Senior Securities") or subordinated Debt Securities ("Subordinated Securities"). The Debt Securities will be issued under one or more indentures, each dated as of a date prior to the issuance of the Debt Securities to which it relates. Senior Securities and Subordinated Securities may be issued pursuant to separate indentures (respectively, a "Senior Indenture" and a "Subordinated Indenture"), in each case between the Operating Partnership and a trustee (a "Trustee"), which may be the same Trustee, and in the form that has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, subject to such amendments or supplements as may be adopted from time to time. The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Indentures." The Indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"). The statements made under this heading relating to the Debt Securities and the Indentures are summaries of the anticipated material provisions thereof, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indentures and such Debt Securities. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable Indenture. Terms The indebtedness represented by the Senior Securities will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. The indebtedness represented by Subordinated Securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Senior Debt of the Operating Partnership as described under "--Subordination." The particular terms of the Debt Securities offered by a Prospectus Supplement will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, along with any applicable modifications of or additions to the general terms of the Debt Securities as described herein and in the applicable Indenture and any applicable federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of Debt Securities, reference must be made to both the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto and the description of the Debt Securities set forth in this Prospectus. Except as set forth in any Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities may be issued without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as established from time to time by the Operating Partnership or as set forth in the applicable Indenture or in one or more indentures supplemental to such Indenture. All Debt Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities of such series, for issuance of additional Debt Securities of such series. Each Indenture will provide that the Operating Partnership may, but need not, designate more than one Trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities. Any Trustee under an Indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities and a successor Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series. In the event that two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of Debt Securities, each such Trustee shall be a Trustee of a trust under the applicable Indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other Trustee, and, except as otherwise indicated herein, any action described herein to be taken by each Trustee may be taken by each such Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee under the applicable Indenture. The following summaries set forth certain general terms and provisions of the Indentures and the Debt Securities. The Prospectus Supplement relating to the series of Debt Securities being offered will contain further terms of such Debt Securities, including the following specific terms: (1) The title of such Debt Securities and whether such Debt Securities are Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities; (2) The aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities and any limit on such aggregate principal amount; 4 (3) The price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) at which such Debt Securities will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; (4) The date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates, on which the principal of such Debt Securities will be payable; (5) The rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable), or the method by which such rate or rates shall be determined, at which such Debt Securities will bear interest, if any; (6) The date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates, from which any such interest will accrue, the dates on which any such interest will be payable, the record dates for such interest payment dates, or the method by which such dates shall be determined, the persons to whom such interest shall be payable, and the basis upon which interest shall be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; (7) The place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities will be payable, where such Debt Securities may be surrendered for conversion or registration of transfer or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in respect of such Debt Securities and the applicable Indenture may be served; (8) The period or periods, if any, within which, the price or prices at which and the other terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities may, pursuant to any optional or mandatory redemption provisions, be redeemed, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Operating Partnership; (9) The obligation, if any, of the Operating Partnership to redeem, repay or purchase such Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of a holder thereof, and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the other terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities will be redeemed, repaid or purchased, as a whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; (10) If other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are denominated and payable, which may be a foreign currency or units of two or more foreign currencies or a composite currency or currencies, and the terms and conditions relating thereto; (11) Whether the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Debt Securities may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method (which index, formula or method may, but need not be, based on a currency, currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies) and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined; (12) Whether such Debt Securities will be issued in certificated or book-entry form and, if in book entry form, the identity of the depository for such Debt Securities; (13) Whether such Debt Securities will be in registered or bearer form and, if in registered form, the denominations thereof if other than $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and, if in bearer form, the denominations thereof and terms and conditions relating thereto; (14) The applicability, if any, of the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions described herein or set forth in the applicable Indenture, or any modification thereof; (15) Whether and under what circumstances the Operating Partnership will pay any additional amounts on such Debt Securities in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Debt Securities in lieu of making such payment; (16) Any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the events of default or covenants of the Operating Partnership, to the extent different from those described herein or set forth in the applicable Indenture with respect to such Debt Securities, and any change in the right of any Trustee or any of the holders to declare the principal amount of any of such Debt Securities due and payable; (17) With respect to any Debt Securities that provide for optional redemption or prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events (such as a change of control of the Operating Partnership), (i) the possible effects of such provisions on the market price of the Operating Partnership's or the Company's securities 5 or in deterring certain mergers, tender offers or other takeover attempts, and the intention of the Operating Partnership to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws in connection with such provisions; (ii) whether the occurrence of the specified events may give rise to cross-defaults on other indebtedness such that payment on such Debt Securities may be effectively subordinated; and (iii) the existence of any limitation on the Operating Partnership's financial or legal ability to repurchase such Debt Securities upon the occurrence of such an event (including, if true, the lack of assurance that such a repurchase can be effected) and the impact, if any, under the Indenture of such a failure, including whether and under what circumstances such a failure may constitute an Event of Default; and (18) Any other terms of such Debt Securities not inconsistent with the provisions of the applicable Indenture. If so provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities may be issued at a discount below their principal amount and provide for less than the entire principal amount thereof to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof ("Original Issue Discount Securities"). In such cases, any special U.S. federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to Original Issue Discount Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Except as described under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" or as may be set forth in any Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will not contain any provisions that would limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of Debt Securities protection in the event of (i) a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership, the management of the Operating Partnership or the Company, or any affiliate of any such party, (ii) a change of control, or (iii) a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership that may adversely affect the holders of the Debt Securities. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter into certain transactions, such as the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership, that would increase the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which may have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's ability to service its indebtedness, including the Debt Securities. Neither Maryland General Corporation Law nor the governing instruments of the Company and the Operating Partnership define the term "substantially all" in connection with the sale of assets. Additionally, Maryland cases interpreting the words "substantially all" all rely heavily upon the facts and circumstances of the particular case. As a consequence of the lack of a definition of the term "substantially all," a holder of Debt Securities must review the financial and other information disclosed by the Operating Partnership to the public to determine whether a sale of "substantially all" of the assets of the Operating Partnership has occurred. Therefore a risk of uncertainty exists for the holders of Debt Securities as a consequence of the lack of a definition of the term "substantially all". Restrictions on ownership and transfers of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are designed to preserve the Company's status as a REIT and, therefore, may act to prevent or hinder a change of control. See "Description of Common Stock" and "Restrictions on Transfers of Capital Stock." Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of, or additions to, the events of default or covenants that are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection. Denomination, Interest, Registration and Transfer Unless otherwise described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities of any series will be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series will be exchangeable for any authorized denomination of other Debt Securities of the same series and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor upon surrender of such Debt Securities at the corporate trust office of the applicable Trustee or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Operating Partnership for such purpose. In addition, subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange thereof at the corporate trust office of the applicable Trustee or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Operating Partnership for such purpose. Every Debt Security surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, and the person requesting such action must provide evidence of title and identity satisfactory to the applicable Trustee or transfer agent. No service charge will be made for any 6 registration of transfer or exchange of any Debt Securities, but the Trustee or the Operating Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. If the applicable Prospectus Supplement refers to any transfer agent (in addition to the applicable Trustee) initially designated by the Operating Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities, the Operating Partnership may at any time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts, except that the Operating Partnership will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for such series. The Operating Partnership may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities. Neither the Operating Partnership nor any Trustee shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any Debt Securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security, or portion thereof, so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part; or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security that has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so repaid. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets The Indentures will provide that the Operating Partnership may, without the consent of the holders of any outstanding Debt Securities, consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity provided that (i) either the Operating Partnership shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than the Operating Partnership) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of such assets, shall expressly assume (A) the Operating Partnership's obligations to pay principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all of the Debt Securities and (B) the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions contained in each Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Operating Partnership or such subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no event of default under the Indentures, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become such an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iii) an officers' certificate and legal opinion covering such conditions shall be delivered to each Trustee. Certain Covenants Existence. Except as permitted under "--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," the Indentures will require the Operating Partnership to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if it determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business. Maintenance of Properties. The Indentures will require the Operating Partnership to cause all of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Operating Partnership may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries shall not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing of their properties for value in the ordinary course of business. Insurance. The Indentures will require the Operating Partnership to cause each of its and its subsidiaries' insurable properties to be insured against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value with insurers of recognized responsibility and, if described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, having a specified rating from a recognized insurance rating service. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Indentures will require the Operating Partnership to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments 7 and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith. Additional Covenants. Any additional covenants of the Operating Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Events of Default, Notice and Waiver Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each Indenture will provide that the following events are "Events of Default" with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (i) default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security of such series; (ii) default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of such series at its maturity; (iii) default in making any sinking fund payment as required for any Debt Security of such series; (iv) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Operating Partnership contained in the Indenture (other than a covenant added to the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities issued thereunder other than such series), continued for 60 days after written notice as provided in the applicable Indenture; (v) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed (except mortgage indebtedness) by the Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $25,000,000 or under any indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed (except mortgage indebtedness) by the Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $25,000,000, whether such indebtedness exists on the date of such Indenture or shall thereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or such obligations being accelerated, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Operating Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership; and (vii) any other event of default provided with respect to a particular series of Debt Securities. The term "Significant Subsidiary" has the meaning ascribed to such term in Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. If an Event of Default under any Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the applicable Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series will have the right to declare the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities or indexed securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to the Operating Partnership (and to the applicable Trustee if given by the holders). However, at any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under any Indenture, as the case may be) has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the applicable Trustee, the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be) may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (i) the Operating Partnership shall have deposited with the applicable Trustee all required payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be), plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the applicable Trustee; and (ii) all events of default, other than the non- payment of accelerated principal (or specified portion thereof), with respect to Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be) have been cured or waived as provided in such Indenture. The Indentures will also provide that the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be) may waive any past default with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series; or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the applicable Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby. 8 The Indentures will require each Trustee to give notice to the holders of Debt Securities within 90 days of a default under the applicable Indenture unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that such Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default with respect to such series (except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any Debt Security of such series) if specified responsible officers of such Trustee consider such withholding to be in the interest of such holders. The Indentures will provide that no holders of Debt Securities of any series may institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to such Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the applicable Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an event of default from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series, as well as an offer of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. This provision will not prevent, however, any holder of Debt Securities from instituting suit for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities at the respective due dates thereof. The Indentures will provide that, subject to provisions in each Indenture relating to its duties in case of default, a Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under an Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of any series of Debt Securities then outstanding under such Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee thereunder reasonable security or indemnity. The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under an Indenture, as the case may be) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the applicable Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon such Trustee. However, a Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which is in conflict with any law or the applicable Indenture, which may involve such Trustee in personal liability or which may be unduly prejudicial to the holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining therein. Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Operating Partnership will be required to deliver to each Trustee a certificate, signed by one of several specified officers of the Operating Partnership, stating whether or not such officer has knowledge of any default under the applicable Indenture and, if so, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof. Modification of the Indentures Modifications and amendments of an Indenture will be permitted to be made only with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities issued under such Indenture affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each such Debt Security affected thereby, (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (or premium, if any) on, any such Debt Security; (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium payable on redemption of, any such Debt Security, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or would be provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment of the holder of any such Debt Security; (iii) change the place of payment, or the coin or currency, for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Debt Security; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Debt Security; (v) reduce the above-stated percentage of any outstanding Debt Securities necessary to modify or amend the applicable Indenture with respect to such Debt Securities, to waive compliance with certain provisions thereof or certain defaults and consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in the applicable Indenture; or (vi) modify any of the foregoing provisions or any of the provisions relating to the waiver of certain past defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the required percentage to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of such Debt Security. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of each series may, on behalf of all holders of Debt Securities of that series, waive, insofar as that series is concerned, compliance by the Operating Partnership with certain restrictive covenants of the applicable Indenture. Modifications and amendments of an Indenture will be permitted to be made by the Operating Partnership and the respective Trustee thereunder without the consent of any holder of Debt Securities for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another person to the Operating Partnership as obligor under such 9 Indenture; (ii) to add to the covenants of the Operating Partnership for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Debt Securities or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Operating Partnership in such Indenture; (iii) to add events of default for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Debt Securities; (iv) to add or change any provisions of an Indenture to facilitate the issuance of, or to liberalize certain terms of, Debt Securities in bearer form, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in uncertificated form, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities of any series in any material respect; (v) to change or eliminate any provisions of an Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there are no Debt Securities outstanding of any series created prior thereto which are entitled to the benefit of such provision; (vi) to secure the Debt Securities; (vii) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series; (viii) to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under an Indenture by more than one Trustee; (ix) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in an Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of holders of Debt Securities of any series issued under such Indenture; or (x) to supplement any of the provisions of an Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of any series of such Debt Securities, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series. The Indentures will provide that in determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of a series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver thereunder or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of holders of Debt Securities, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; (ii) the principal amount of any Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the issue date for such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue date of such Debt Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above); (iii) the principal amount of an indexed security that shall be deemed outstanding shall be the principal face amount of such indexed security at original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such indexed security pursuant to such Indenture; and (iv) Debt Securities owned by the Operating Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any affiliate of the Operating Partnership or of such other obligor shall be disregarded. The Indentures will contain provisions for convening meetings of the holders of Debt Securities of a series. A meeting will be permitted to be called at any time by the applicable Trustee, and also, upon request, by the Operating Partnership or the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series, in any such case upon notice given as provided in such Indenture. Except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each Debt Security affected by certain modifications and amendments of an Indenture, any resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as referred to above, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Debt Securities of any series duly held in accordance with an Indenture will be binding on all holders of Debt Securities of that series. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any reconvened meeting, will be persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which may be given by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series, the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series will constitute a quorum. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indentures will provide that if any action is to be taken at a meeting of holders of Debt Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver and other action that such Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby, or of the holders of such series and one or more additional series: (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement 10 for such meeting; and (ii) the principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under such Indenture. Subordination Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Subordinated Securities will be subject to the following subordination provisions. Upon any distribution to creditors of the Operating Partnership in a liquidation, dissolution or reorganization, the payment of the principal of and interest on any Subordinated Securities will be subordinated to the extent provided in the applicable Indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (as defined below), but the obligation of the Operating Partnership to make payments of the principal of and interest on such Subordinated Securities will not otherwise be affected. No payment of principal or interest will be permitted to be made on Subordinated Securities at any time if a default on Senior Debt exists that permits the holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Operating Partnership receives notice of the default. After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Subordinated Securities are paid in full, holders will be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. The Subordinated Indenture will not restrict the amount of Senior Debt or other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As a result of these subordination provisions, in the event of a distribution of assets upon insolvency, holders of Subordinated Indebtedness may recover less, ratably, than general creditors of the Operating Partnership. Senior Debt will be defined in the applicable Indenture as the principal of and interest on, or substantially similar payments to be made by the Operating Partnership in respect of, the following, whether outstanding at the date of execution of the applicable Indenture or thereafter incurred, created or assumed: (i) indebtedness of the Operating Partnership for money borrowed or represented by purchase-money obligations; (ii) indebtedness of the Operating Partnership evidenced by notes, debentures, or bonds, or other securities issued under the provisions of an indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other agreement; (iii) obligations of the Operating Partnership as lessee under leases of property either made as part of any sale and leaseback transaction to which the Operating Partnership is a party or otherwise; (iv) indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of others in respect of which the Operating Partnership is liable contingently or otherwise to pay or advance money or property or as guarantor, endorser or otherwise or which the Operating Partnership has agreed to purchase or otherwise acquire; and (v) any binding commitment of the Operating Partnership to fund any real estate investment or to fund any investment in any entity making such real estate investment, in each case other than (A) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above as to which, in the instrument creating or evidencing the same pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is provided that such indebtedness, obligation or liability is not superior in right of payment to the Subordinated Securities or ranks without preference to the Subordinated Securities; (B) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability which is subordinated to indebtedness of the Operating Partnership to substantially the same extent as or to a greater extent than the Subordinated Securities are subordinated; and (C) the Subordinated Securities. There will not be any restrictions in any Indenture relating to Subordinated Securities upon the creation of additional Senior Debt. If this Prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of Subordinated Securities, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement or the information incorporated herein by reference will set forth the approximate amount of Senior Debt outstanding as of the end of the Operating Partnership's most recent fiscal quarter. Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Operating Partnership will be permitted, at its option, to discharge certain obligations to holders of any series of Debt Securities issued under any Indenture that have not already been delivered to the applicable Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the applicable Trustee, in trust, funds in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable in an amount sufficient 11 to pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (if such Debt Securities have become due and payable) or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be. The Indentures will provide that, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Operating Partnership may elect either (i) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such Debt Securities (except for the obligation to pay additional amounts, if any, upon the occurrence of certain events of tax, assessment or governmental charge with respect to payments on such Debt Securities and the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, to maintain an office or agency in respect of such Debt Securities, to hold moneys for payment in trust) ("defeasance"); or (ii) to be released from its obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under the applicable Indenture (being the restrictions described under "--Certain Covenants") or, if provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, its obligations with respect to any other covenant, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute an event of default with respect to such Debt Securities ("covenant defeasance"), in either case upon the irrevocable deposit by the Operating Partnership with the applicable Trustee, in trust, of an amount, in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable at stated maturity, or Government Obligations (as defined below), or both, applicable to such Debt Securities, which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due dates therefor. Such a trust will only be permitted to be established if, among other things, the Operating Partnership has delivered to the applicable Trustee an opinion of counsel (as specified in the applicable Indenture) to the effect that the holders of such Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance, will be required to refer to and be based upon a ruling received from or published by the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture. In the event of such defeasance, the holders of such Debt Securities would thereafter be able to look only to such trust fund for payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest. "Government Obligations" means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular series are payable, for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged; or (ii) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America or such government which issued the foreign currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America or such other government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; provided, however, that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if after the Operating Partnership has deposited funds and/or Government Obligations to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to Debt Securities of any series, (i) the holder of a Debt Security of such series is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to the applicable Indenture or the terms of such Debt Security to receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such Debt Security; or (ii) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Debt Security will be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Security as they become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount so deposited 12 in respect of such Debt Security into the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Security becomes payable as a result of such election or such cessation of usage based on the applicable market exchange rate. "Conversion Event" means the cessation of use of (i) a currency, currency unit or composite currency both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other public institutions of or within the international banking community; (ii) the European Currency Unit ("ECU") both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities; or (iii) any currency unit or composite currency other than the ECU for the purposes for which it was established. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, all payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Debt Security that is payable in a foreign currency that ceases to be used by its government of issuance shall be made in U.S. dollars. In the event the Company effects covenant defeasance with respect to any Debt Securities and such Debt Securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default other than the event of default described in clause (iv) under "--Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to specified sections of an Indenture (which sections would no longer be applicable to such Debt Securities) or described in clause (vii) under "--Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to any other covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in such currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Securities are payable, and Government Obligations on deposit with the applicable Trustee, will be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from such event of default. However, the Operating Partnership would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the Debt Securities of or within a particular series. No Conversion Rights The Debt Securities will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock of the Company or any equity interest in the Operating Partnership. Payment Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the principal of (and applicable premium, if any) and interest on any series of Debt Securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, the address of which will be stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement; provided, however, that, at the option of the Operating Partnership, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the applicable register for such Debt Securities or by wire transfer of funds to such person at an account maintained within the United States. All moneys paid by the Operating Partnership to a paying agent or a Trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Debt Security which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to the Operating Partnership, and the holder of such Debt Security thereafter may look only to the Operating Partnership for payment thereof. Global Securities The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities (the "Global Securities") that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of Debt Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK The description of the Company's Preferred Stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") and Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), as in effect. 13 General Under the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has authority to issue 25 million shares of Preferred Stock, none of which was outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time, in one or more series, as authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. Prior to issuance of shares of each series, the Board of Directors is required by the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") and the Company's Articles of Incorporation to fix for each series, subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding excess stock, $.01 par value per share ("Excess Stock"), the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption, as are permitted by Maryland law. The Preferred Stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable and will have no preemptive rights. The Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction that holders of Common Stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of the shares of Common Stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of such shares of Common Stock. Terms The following description of the Preferred Stock sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock to which any Prospectus Supplement may relate. The statements below describing the Preferred Stock are in all respects subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and any applicable amendment to the Articles of Incorporation designating terms of a series of Preferred Stock (a "Designating Amendment"). Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Preferred Stock offered thereby for specific terms, including: (1) The title and stated value of such Preferred Stock; (2) The number of shares of such Preferred Stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of such Preferred Stock; (3) The dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to such Preferred Stock; (4) The date from which dividends on such Preferred Stock shall accumulate, if applicable; (5) The procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for such Preferred Stock; (6) The provision for a sinking fund, if any, for such Preferred Stock; (7) The provision for redemption, if applicable, of such Preferred Stock; (8) Any listing of such Preferred Stock on any securities exchange; (9) The terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which such Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock, including the conversion price or rate (or manner of calculation thereof); (10) Any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of such Preferred Stock; (11) A discussion of federal income tax considerations applicable to such Preferred Stock; (12) The relative ranking and preference of such Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; (13) Any limitations on issuance of any series of Preferred Stock ranking senior to or on a parity with such series of Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; and (14) Any limitations on direct or beneficial ownership and restrictions on transfer, in each case as may be appropriate to preserve the status of the Company as a REIT. 14 Rank Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, rank (i) senior to all classes or series of Common Stock of the Company, and to all equity securities ranking junior to such Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (ii) on a parity with all equity securities issued by the Company, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on a parity with the Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and (iii) junior to all equity securities issued by the Company, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The term "equity securities" does not include convertible debt securities. Dividends Holders of the Preferred Stock of each series will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of assets of the Company legally available for payment, cash dividends at such rates and on such dates as will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each such dividend shall be payable to holders of record as they appear on the share transfer books of the Company on such record dates as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Dividends on any series of the Preferred Stock may be cumulative or non-cumulative, as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Dividends, if cumulative, will be cumulative from and after the date set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the Board of Directors of the Company fails to declare a dividend payable on a dividend payment date on any series of the Preferred Stock for which dividends are non-cumulative, then the holders of such series of the Preferred Stock will have no right to receive a dividend in respect of the dividend period ending on such dividend payment date, and the Company will have no obligation to pay the dividend accrued for such period, whether or not dividends on such series are declared payable on any future dividend payment date. If Preferred Stock of any series is outstanding, no dividends will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any capital stock of the Company of any other series ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Preferred Stock of such series for any period unless (i) if such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock of such series for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period; or (ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full dividends for the then current dividend period have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock of such series. When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon Preferred Stock of any series and the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Preferred Stock of such series, all dividends declared upon Preferred Stock of such series and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with such Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Preferred Stock of such series and such other series of Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Preferred Stock of such series (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) and such other series of Preferred Stock bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on Preferred Stock of such series which may be in arrears. Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless (i) if such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period; and (ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full dividends on the Preferred Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for the then current dividend period, no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends and upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon the Common 15 Stock, or any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation, nor shall any shares of Common Stock, or any other shares of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends and upon liquidation). Any dividend payment made on shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to shares of such series which remain payable. Redemption If so provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory redemption or redemption at the option of the Company, as a whole or in part, in each case upon the terms, at the times and at the redemption prices set forth in such Prospectus Supplement. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Preferred Stock that is subject to mandatory redemption will specify the number of shares of such Preferred Stock that shall be redeemed by the Company in each year commencing after a date to be specified, at a redemption price per share to be specified, together with an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (which shall not, if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods) to the date of redemption. The redemption price may be payable in cash or other property, as specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the redemption price for Preferred Stock of any series is payable only from the net proceeds of the issuance of shares of capital stock of the Company, the terms of such Preferred Stock may provide that, if no such shares of capital stock shall have been issued or to the extent the net proceeds from any issuance are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate redemption price then due, such Preferred Stock shall automatically and mandatorily be converted into the applicable shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to conversion provisions specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless (i) if a series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends on all shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period; and (ii) if a series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full dividends on all shares of the Preferred Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for the then current dividend period, no shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Preferred Stock of such series to preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series. In addition, unless (i) if such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period; and (ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full dividends on the Preferred Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for the then current dividend period, the Company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Preferred Stock of such series (except by conversion into or exchange for capital shares of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends and upon liquidation); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of Preferred Stock of such series to preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of any series are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by the Company and such shares may be redeemed pro rata from the holders of record of such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held or for which redemption is requested 16 by such holder (with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional shares) or by any other equitable manner determined by the Company. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of record of Preferred Stock of any series to be redeemed at the address shown on the stock transfer books of the Company. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares and series of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) the date upon which the holder's conversion rights, if any, as to such shares shall terminate. If fewer than all the shares of Preferred Stock of any series are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to each such holder thereof shall also specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from each such holder. If notice of redemption of any Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Company in trust for the benefit of the holders of any Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date dividends will cease to accrue on such Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price. Liquidation Preference Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Company legally available for distribution to stockholders liquidating distributions in the amount of the liquidation preference per share, if any, set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid noncumulative dividends for prior dividend periods). After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. If liquidating distributions shall have been made in full to all holders of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of any other classes or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, according to their respective rights and preferences and in each case according to their respective number of shares. For such purposes, the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, trust or entity, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Voting Rights Holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law or as indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless provided otherwise for any series of Preferred Stock, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock of a series remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a class), (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking prior to such series of Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any authorized capital stock of the Company into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or the Designating Amendment for such series of Preferred Stock, 17 whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of such series of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above, so long as the Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of an Event the Company may not be the surviving entity, the occurrence of any such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of Preferred Stock, and provided further that (A) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, or (B) any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series or any other series of Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Preferred Stock of such series with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. Conversion Rights The terms and conditions, if any, upon which any series of Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible, the conversion price or rate (or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion period, provisions as to whether conversion will be at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock or the Company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of such series of Preferred Stock. Restrictions on Ownership For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% in value of its outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. To assist the Company in meeting this requirement, the Company may take certain actions to limit the beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by a single person of the Company's outstanding equity securities, including any Preferred Stock of the Company. Therefore, the Designating Amendment for each series of Preferred Stock may contain provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of the Preferred Stock. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will specify any additional ownership limitation relating to a series of Preferred Stock. See "Restrictions on Transfers of Capital Stock." Transfer Agent The transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Stock will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK The description of the Company's Common Stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Articles of incorporation and Bylaws, as in effect. General Under the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has authority to issue 100 million shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. Under Maryland law, stockholders generally are not responsible for the corporation's debts or obligations. At March 26, 1997, the Company had outstanding 48,233,236 shares of Common Stock. Terms All shares of Common Stock offered hereby have been duly authorized, and are fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other shares or series of stock and to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding excess stock, $.01 par value per share ("Excess Stock"), holders of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Common Stock if, as and when authorized and declared 18 by the Board of Directors of the Company out of assets legally available therefor and to share ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up after payment of, or adequate provision for, all known debts and liabilities of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding Excess Stock, each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of Directors and, except as otherwise required by law or except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of Common Stock will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of Directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock can elect all of the Directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock will not be able to elect any Directors. Holders of Common Stock have no conversion, sinking fund or redemption rights, or preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the Company. The Company intends to furnish its stockholders with annual reports containing audited consolidated financial statements and an opinion thereon expressed by an independent public accounting firm and quarterly reports for the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial information. Subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding Excess Stock, all shares of Common Stock will have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights, and will have no preference, appraisal or exchange rights. Pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), a corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its Articles of Incorporation, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation's Articles of Incorporation. The Company's Articles of Incorporation do not provide for a lesser percentage in such situations. Restrictions on Ownership For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% in value of its outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. To assist the Company in meeting this requirement, the Company may take certain actions to limit the beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by a single person of the Company's outstanding equity securities. See "Restrictions on Transfers of Capital Stock." Transfer Agent The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is Boston EquiServe. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF CAPITAL STOCK Restrictions on Transfers In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, among other things, not more than 50% in value of its outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year) (the "Five or Fewer Requirement"), and such shares of capital stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations." In order to protect the Company against the risk of losing its status as a REIT on account of a concentration of ownership among its stockholders, the Articles of Incorporation, subject to certain exceptions, provide that no single holder may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 6.0% (the "Ownership Limit") of the aggregate value of the Company's shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Code, Common Stock held by certain types of entities, such as pension trusts qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Code, United States investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act, partnerships, trusts and corporations, will be attributed to the beneficial owners of such entities for purposes of the Five or Fewer Requirement (i.e., the beneficial owners of such entities will be counted as holders). The Company's Articles of Incorporation limits such entities to holding no more than 9.9% of the aggregate value 19 of the Company's shares of capital stock (the "Look-Through Ownership Limit"). Any transfer of shares of capital stock or of any security convertible into shares of capital stock that would create a direct or indirect ownership of shares of capital stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit or that would result in the disqualification of the Company as a REIT, including any transfer that results in the shares of capital stock being owned by fewer than 100 persons or results in the Company being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, shall be null and void, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the shares of capital stock. The foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, waive the Ownership Limit and the Look-Through Ownership Limit if evidence satisfactory to the Board of Directors and the Company's tax counsel is presented that the changes in ownership will not then or in the future jeopardize the Company's REIT status and the Board of Directors otherwise decides that such action is in the best interest of the Company. Shares of capital stock owned, or deemed to be owned, or transferred to a stockholder in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit will automatically be converted into shares of Excess Stock that will be transferred, by operation of law, to the Company as trustee of a trust for the exclusive benefit of the transferees to whom such shares of capital stock may be ultimately transferred without violating the Ownership Limit or the Look-Through Ownership Limit. While the Excess Stock is held in trust, it will not be entitled to vote, it will not be considered for purposes of any stockholder vote or the determination of a quorum for such vote, and, except upon liquidation, it will not be entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions. Any distribution paid to a proposed transferee of Excess Stock prior to the discovery by the Company that capital stock has been transferred in violation of the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation shall be repaid to the Company upon demand. The Excess Stock is not treasury stock, but rather constitutes a separate class of issued and outstanding stock of the Company. The original transferee stockholder may, at any time the Excess Stock is held by the Company in trust, transfer the interest in the trust representing the Excess Stock to any person whose ownership of the shares of capital stock exchanged for such Excess Stock would be permitted under the Ownership Limit or the Look- Through Ownership Limit, at a price not in excess of (i) the price paid by the original transferee-stockholder for the shares of capital stock that were exchanged into Excess Stock, or (ii) if the original transferee-stockholder did not give value for such shares (e.g., the stock was received through a gift, devise or other transaction), the average closing price for the class of shares from which such shares of Excess Stock were converted for the ten days immediately preceding such sale or gift. Immediately upon the transfer to the permitted transferee, the Excess Stock will automatically be converted back into shares of capital stock of the class from which it was converted. If the foregoing transfer restrictions are determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the intended transferee of any shares of Excess Stock may be deemed, at the option of the Company, to have acted as an agent on behalf of the Company in acquiring the Excess Stock and to hold the Excess Stock on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Company will have the right, for a period of 90 days during the time any shares of Excess Stock are held by the Company in trust, to purchase all or any portion of the Excess Stock from the original transferee-stockholder at the lesser of (i) the price initially paid for such shares by the original transferee stockholder, or if the original transferee-stockholder did not give value for such shares (e.g., the shares were received through a gift, devise or other transaction), the average closing price for the class of stock from which such shares of Excess Stock were converted for the ten days immediately preceding such sale or gift, and (ii) the average closing price for the class of shares from which such shares of Excess Stock were converted for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date the Company elects to purchase such shares. The 90-day period begins on the date notice is received of the violative transfer if the original transferee-stockholder gives notice to the Company of the transfer or, if no such notice is given, the date the Board of Directors determines that a violative transfer has been made. These restrictions will not preclude settlement of transactions through the NYSE. Each stockholder shall upon demand be required to disclose to the Company in writing any information with respect to the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of capital stock as the Board of Directors deems necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to REITs, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance. The Ownership Limit may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of the Company unless the Board of Directors determines that maintenance of REIT status is no longer in the best interests of the Company. 20 FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS The Company believes it has operated, and the Company intends to continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, but no assurance can be given that it will at all times so qualify. The provisions of the Code pertaining to REITs are highly technical and complex. The following is a brief and general summary of the material federal income tax considerations of an investment in the Company's Securities to the extent those considerations relate to the taxation of the Company. To the extent such considerations relate to the tax treatment of particular Securities, they will be addressed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP has acted as counsel to the Company and has reviewed this summary and is of the opinion that to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, or legal conclusions, this summary is accurate in all material respects. For the particular provisions that govern the federal income tax treatment of the Company and its stockholders, reference is made to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The statements in this discussion and the opinion of Goodwin, Procter and Hoar LLP are based on current provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations, the legislative history of the Code, existing administrative rulings and practices of the Service, and judicial decisions. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial, or administrative actions or decisions, which may be retroactive in effect, will not affect the accuracy of any statements in this Prospectus with respect to the transactions entered into or contemplated prior to the effective date of such changes. EACH INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES. Under the Code, if certain requirements are met in a taxable year, a REIT generally will not be subject to federal income tax with respect to income that it distributes to its stockholders. However, the Company may be subject to federal income tax under certain circumstances including taxes at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT taxable income, the "alternative minimum tax" on its items of tax preference, and taxes imposed on income and gain generated by certain extraordinary transactions. If the Company fails to qualify during any taxable year as a REIT, unless certain relief provisions are available, it will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates, which could have a material adverse effect upon its stockholders. In addition to meeting a number of technical requirements, including requirements regarding distributions to shareholders, diversification of ownership and record keeping, to qualify as a REIT the Company must meet certain tests regarding the nature of its assets and its gross income. The Company is largely restricted under these tests to holding "real estate assets" (as defined in the Code) for investment (and not for resale) and relatively small amounts of investment securities. Accordingly, the Company's ability to diversify its holdings outside of investments in real estate is limited. The requirements of the statutory tests also impose certain requirements on the Company's leases with its tenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to provide noncustomary services to its tenants. Because the Company's proportionate share of the assets and items of income of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships are treated as assets and gross income of the Company, the same restrictions apply to the operations and investments of the Operating Partnership and the subsidiary partnerships. Further, changes in law, or in the interpretation of the law, may change the nature and effect of these restrictions or add additional restrictions to the manner in which the Company conducts its business. In the opinion of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP, commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 1994, the Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the Company's proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. Investors should be aware, however, that opinions of counsel are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or any court. Moreover, Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP's opinion is based on various assumptions and is conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to factual matters, including representations regarding the nature of the Company's properties, and the future conduct of the Company's business. The Company's qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the Company's ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual operating results, the distribution levels, stock ownership, and other various qualification tests imposed under the Code. Goodwin, 21 Procter & Hoar LLP will not review the Company's compliance with those tests on a continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company's operation for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the appropriateness of an investment in the Securities offered hereby and with respect to the tax consequences arising under federal law and the laws of any state, municipality or other taxing jurisdiction, including tax consequences resulting from such investor's own tax characteristics. In particular, foreign investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Company, including the possibility of United States income tax withholding on Company distributions. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Company and the Operating Partnership may sell Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers, through agents or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The distribution of the Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from the Company, from the Operating Partnership or from purchasers of Securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers, and agents that participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership, and any profit on the resale of Securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified, and any such compensation received from the Company or the Operating Partnership will be described, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, each series of Securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than the Common Stock which is listed on the NYSE. Any shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement will be listed on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. The Operating Partnership or the Company may elect to list any series of Debt Securities or Preferred Stock on an exchange, but is not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a series of Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Securities. Under agreements into which the Company or the Operating Partnership may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Company or the Operating Partnership against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, or be tenants of, the Company or the Operating Partnership in the ordinary course of business. If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company or the Operating Partnership will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as the Company's or the Operating Partnership's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase Securities from the Company pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the 22 purchase of the Debt Securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts. If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Operating Partnership will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as the Operating Partnership's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase Debt Securities from the Operating Partnership at the public offering price set forth in such Prospectus Supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities sold pursuant to Contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Institutions with whom Contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other institutions but will in all cases be subject to the approval of the Operating Partnership. Contracts will not be subject to any conditions except (i) the purchase by an institution of the Debt Securities covered by its Contracts shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such institution is subject, and (ii) if the Debt Securities are being sold to underwriters, the Operating Partnership shall have sold to such underwriters the total principal amount of the Debt Securities less the principal amount thereof covered by Contracts. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Securities offered hereby will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities offered hereby may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Securities for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, provide certain limitations on the liability of the Company's Directors and officers for monetary damages to the Company. The Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the Bylaws, as amended, obligate the Company to indemnify its Directors and officers, and permit the Company to indemnify its employees and other agents, against certain liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such capacities. These provisions could reduce the legal remedies available to the Company and the stockholders against these individuals. The Company's Bylaws, as amended, require it to indemnify its officers, Directors and certain other parties to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law. Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify (a) any present or former Director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding to which he was made a party by reason of his service in that capacity, against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding and (b) any present or former director or officer against any claim or liability unless it is established that (i) his act or omission was committed in bad faith or was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty, (ii) he actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful. The MGCL also permits the Company to provide indemnification and advance expenses to a present or former director or officer who served a predecessor of the Company in such capacity, and to any employer or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and Directors. The indemnification agreements require, among other matters, that the Company indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to the officers and Directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Under these agreements, the Company must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by officers and Directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements and may cover officers and Directors under the Company's Directors' and officers' liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by law, it provides additional assurance to Directors and officers that indemnification will be available because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Board of Directors or the Stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides. It is the position of the SEC that indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") is against public policy and unenforceable pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Act. The Company provides coverage for its directors and officers under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. Item 16. Exhibits. 4.1 Articles of Incorporation (1). 4.2 Bylaws (2).

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and II-2 Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrants certify that they have reasonable grounds to believe that they meet all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and have duly caused this amendment to the registration statement to be signed on their behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts on this 8th day of April, 1997.
