At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote on the following proposals:

 

   

Proposal 1 – the election of all trustees to a one-year term;

 

   

Proposal 2 – the ratification of the Company’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as its independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009; and

 

   

Proposal 3 – the shareholder proposal relating to a change in the voting standard for trustee elections.

You have received these proxy materials because our Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is soliciting your proxy to vote your common shares at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement includes information that we are required to provide you under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company has hired MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in distributing and soliciting proxies and will pay approximately $9,500 plus expenses for these services. We will, upon request, reimburse brokers, banks and other nominees for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy materials to their principals and obtaining their proxies. We also expect that some of our employees may solicit our common shareholders personally and by telephone. None of these employees will receive any additional or special compensation for doing this.
