"Common Stock Warrants"), or both, or shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par

Each series of Preferred Shares may vary as to the specific number of shares,

rate or rates (or method of calculation), dividend payment dates, any
redemption or sinking fund requirements, any conversion provisions and any
other variable terms as set forth in the applicable articles supplementary

Warrants, the Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares and the Depositary
Receipts; and "Warrant Securities" shall mean the Common Stock issuable upon

Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities
through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you, the Company
will enter into an agreement (the "Terms Agreement") providing for the sale of
such Securities (the "Underwritten


Securities") to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, you and such other
underwriters, if any, selected by you as have authorized you to enter into
such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the "Underwriters," which term shall

include you whether acting alone in the sale of the Underwritten Securities or
as a member of an underwriting syndicate and any Underwriter substituted
pursuant to Section 10 hereof). The Terms Agreement relating to the offering
of Underwritten Securities shall specify the number of Underwritten Securities
of each class or series to be initially issued, including the number of Common
Stock Warrants, if any (the "Initial Underwritten Securities"), whether the
Initial Underwritten Securities shall be in the form of Depositary Shares and

Share, the names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject
to substitution as provided in Section 10 hereof), the number of Initial
Underwritten Securities which each such Underwriter severally agrees to
purchase, the names of such of you or such other Underwriters acting as
co-managers, if any, in connection with such offering, the price at which the
Initial Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from
the Company, any initial public offering price, the time, date and place of

current ratings (in the case of Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares only),
designations, liquidation preferences, conversion provisions, redemption
provisions and sinking fund requirements and the terms of the Warrant
Securities and the terms, prices and dates upon which such Warrant Securities
may be purchased). In addition, each Terms Agreement shall specify whether the
Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase
additional Underwritten Securities to cover over-allotments, if any, and the
number of Underwritten Securities subject to such option (the "Option
Securities"). As used herein, the term "Underwritten Securities" shall include
the Initial Underwritten Securities and all or any portion of the Option
Securities agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters as provided herein, if
any. The Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of
written telecommunication between you and the Company. Each offering of
Underwritten Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate
managed by you will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the
applicable Terms Agreement.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (Nos. 333-4833 and
333-37285) for the registration of the Securities and Warrant Securities and
certain of the Company's debt securities, under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the offering thereof from time to time in
accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under
the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"). Such registration statement
(including all pre-effective amendments thereto) has been declared effective
by the Commission, and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments
thereto as may have been required prior to the execution of the applicable
Terms Agreement and each such post-effective amendment has been

2

declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement (as so
amended, if applicable), including all information, if any, deemed to be a
part thereof pursuant to Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, is collectively
referred to herein as the "Registration Statement" and the final prospectus

and the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Underwritten
Securities (the "Prospectus Supplement"), in the form first used to confirm
sales by the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the
Underwritten Securities, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Prospectus"; provided, however, that all references to the "Registration
Statement" and the oProspectuso shall be deemed to include all documents
incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), prior to the execution of the applicable
Terms Agreement. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and
schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated"
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of
like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements
and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may
be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include
the filing of any document under the 1934 Act which is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as
the case may be. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act
Regulations, all references to the "Prospectus" shall be deemed to include,
without limitation, the final or preliminary prospectus and the term sheet or
abbreviated term sheet, taken together, provided to the Underwriters by the
Company in reliance on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act (the "Rule 434

Commission to register a portion of the Securities and Warrant Securities and
relies on Rule 462(b) for such registration statement to become effective upon
filing with the Commission (the "Rule 462 Registration Statement"), then any
reference to "Registration Statement" herein shall be deemed to be both the
registration statement referred to above (Nos. 333-4833 and 333-37285) and the
Rule 462 Registration Statement.

three full business days and not be earlier than two full business days after
the exercise of said option, unless otherwise agreed upon by you and the
Company. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option
Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will
purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being
purchased which the number of Initial Underwritten Securities each such
Underwriter has severally agreed to purchase as set forth in the applicable
Terms Agreement bears to the total number of Initial Underwritten Securities
(except as otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Agreement), subject to
such adjustments as you in your discretion shall make to eliminate any sales
or purchases of fractional Initial Underwritten Securities.

(c) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the
Underwritten Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at
the office of Chapman and Cutler, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois
60603, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company,
at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third business day (unless postponed
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10) following the date of the
applicable Terms Agreement or, if pricing takes place after 4:30 p.m., New
York City time, on the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, on the fourth
business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10) following the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or at such
other time as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company (each such time and
date being referred to as a "Closing Time"). In addition, in the event that
any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment
of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates representing, such
Option Securities, shall be made at the above-mentioned offices of Chapman and
Cutler, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company
on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from you to the Company.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Agreement, payment shall be
made to the Company by wire transfer or certified or official bank check or
checks in Federal or similar same-day funds payable to the order of the
Company against delivery to you for the respective accounts of the
Underwriters for the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by them. The
Underwritten Securities or, if applicable, Depositary Receipts evidencing the
Depositary Shares, shall be in such authorized denominations and registered in
such names as you may request in writing at least one business day prior to
the applicable Closing Time or Date of Delivery, as the case may be. The
Underwritten Securities, which may be in temporary form, will be made
available for examination and packaging by you on or before the first business
day prior to the Closing Time or Date of Delivery, as the case may be.

If authorized by the applicable Terms Agreement, the Underwriters
named therein may solicit offers to purchase Underwritten Securities from the
Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts")
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto with such


13

changes therein as the Company may approve. As compensation for arranging
Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Company will pay to you at Closing Time, for
the respective accounts of the Underwriters, a fee specified in the applicable
Terms Agreement for each of the Underwritten Securities for which Delayed
Delivery Contracts are made at the Closing Time as is specified in the
applicable Terms Agreement. Any Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with
institutional investors of the types described in the Prospectus. At the
Closing Time, the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts (for not
less than the minimum number of Underwritten Securities per Delayed Delivery
Contract specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) with all purchasers
proposed by the Underwriters and previously approved by the Company as
provided below, but not for an aggregate number of Underwritten Securities in
excess of that specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. The Underwriters
will not have any responsibility for the validity or performance of Delayed
Delivery Contracts.

You shall submit to the Company, at least two business days prior to
the Closing Time, the names of any institutional investors with which it is
proposed that the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts and the
number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by each of them, and the
Company will advise you, at least two business days prior to the Closing Time,
of the names of the institutions with which the making of Delayed Delivery
Contracts is approved by the Company and the number of Underwritten Securities
to be covered by each such Delayed Delivery Contract.

The number of Underwritten Securities agreed to be purchased by the
several Underwriters pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be
reduced by the number of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery
Contracts, as to each Underwriter as set forth in a written notice delivered
by you to the Company; provided, however, that the total number of
Underwritten Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total
number of Underwritten Securities covered by the applicable Terms Agreement,
less the number of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery
Contracts.

Section 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with
you, and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of Underwritten
Securities, as follows:

(a) If the Company does not elect to rely on Rule 434 under the
1933 Act Regulations, immediately following the execution of the applicable
Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus Supplement setting
forth the number of Underwritten Securities covered thereby and their terms
not otherwise specified in the Prospectus pursuant to which the Underwritten
Securities are being issued, the names of the Underwriters participating in
the offering and the number of Underwritten Securities which each severally
has agreed to purchase, the names of the Underwriters acting as co-managers in
connection with the offerings, the price at which the Underwritten Securities
are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the


14

Company, the initial public offering price, if any, the selling concession and
reallowance, if any, any delayed delivery arrangements, and such other
information as you and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the
offering of the Underwritten Securities; and the Company will promptly
transmit copies of the Prospectus Supplement to the Commission for filing
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and will furnish to the
Underwriters named therein as may copies of the Prospectus (including such
Prospectus Supplement) as you shall reasonably request. If the Company elects
to rely on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act Regulations, immediately following the
execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare an
abbreviated term sheet that complies with the requirements of Rule 434 under
the 1933 Act Regulations and will provide the Underwriters with copies of the
form of Rule 434 Prospectus, in such number as you shall reasonably request,
and promptly file or transmit for filing with the Commission the form of
Prospectus complying with Rule 434(c)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations in
accordance with Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations.

(b) The Company will notify you immediately, and confirm such
notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the
Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of
any Prospectus Supplement or other supplement or amendment to the Prospectus
or any document to be filed pursuant to the 1934 Act, (iii) the receipt of any
comments from the Commission, (iv) any request by the Commission for any
amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or for additional information, and (v) the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and the
Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop
order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the
earliest possible moment.

(c) At any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the
Underwritten Securities, the Company will give you notice of its intention to
file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment
or supplement to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, 1934 Act or
otherwise (including any revised prospectus which the Company proposes for use
by the Underwriters in connection with an offering of Underwritten Securities
which differs from the Prospectus on file at the Commission at the time the
Registration Statement first becomes effective, whether or not such revised
prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act
Regulations, or any abbreviated term sheet prepared in reliance on Rule 434 of
the 1933 Act Regulations), and will furnish you with copies of any such
amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed or used a
reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case
may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents
in a form to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably
object.

15


(d) The Company will deliver to each Underwriter as many signed and
conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each
amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by
reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein) as such Underwriter reasonably requests.

(e) The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, from time to time
during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten
Securities, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request for the purposes
contemplated by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the
1934 Act Regulations.

(f) If at any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the
Underwritten Securities any event shall occur or condition exist as a result
of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or
counsel for the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that
the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of
either such counsel, at any such time to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the
1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, then the Company will promptly prepare
and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement, whether by filing
documents pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, as may be
necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the
Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements.

(g) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the
Underwriters, to qualify the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities,
if any, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, for offering and sale under
the applicable securities laws and real estate syndication laws of such states
and other jurisdictions of the United States as you may designate. In each
jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities, if
any, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, have been so qualified, the Company
will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such
jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as may be
required for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities and the Warrant
Securities, if any; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so
qualified.

16

(h) With respect to each sale of Underwritten Securities, the
Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as
practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered

thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of
Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) covering a twelve-month period beginning
not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following
the "effective date" (as defined in such Rule 158) of the Registration
Statement.

(i) The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements
to qualify as a oreal estate investment trusto under the Code for the taxable
year in which sales of the Underwritten Securities are to occur.

to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of
the Underwritten Securities, will file all documents required to be filed with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act within the
time period prescribed by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

Preferred Shares, as the case may be, for the purpose of enabling the Company
to satisfy any obligations to issue such shares upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, as the case may be, or upon
exercise of the Common Stock Warrants.

(m) If the Underwritten Securities are Common Stock, the Company
will use its best efforts to list such shares of Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange on which the
Company's shares of Common Stock are then listed. If the Preferred Shares or
Depository Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Company
will use its best efforts to list the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares on the New York Stock
Exchange or such other national securities exchange on which the Company's
shares of Common Stock are then listed.

(n) The Company has complied and will comply with the provisions of

3(g), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of

on what is commonly termed a "watch list" for

18

possible downgrading, (iii) there shall not have come to your attention any

statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus, at the date
of the applicable Terms Agreement or at Closing Time, included or
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; it being understood that no opinion need be
rendered with respect to the financial statements, schedules and
other financial and statistical data included in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus. In giving their opinions, Latham &
Watkins, Robert P. Schulman, Esq. (or other counsel satisfactory to
the Underwriters) and Chapman and Cutler may rely, (1) as to matters
involving the laws of the State of Maryland the opinion of Ballard
Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll (or other counsel reasonably satisfactory
to counsel for the Underwriters) in form and substance satisfactory
to counsel for the Underwriters, (2) as to all matters of fact, upon
certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and
accountants for the Company, and (3) as to the qualification and good
standing of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to do business in
any state or jurisdiction, upon certificates of appropriate
government officials or opinions of counsel in such jurisdictions.

(c) At Closing Time, there shall not have been, since the date of
the applicable Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or
business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business; and you
shall have received a


25

certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, the President or Vice President
and the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of the Company,
dated as of such Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been no such
material adverse change and (ii) the representations and warranties in Section
1 are true and correct with the same force and effect as through made on such
Closing Time. As used in this Section 5(c), the term "Prospectus" means the
Prospectus in the form first used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of the
Underwritten Securities.

(d) At the time of execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, you
shall have received from Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. a letter dated such date, in
form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that (i) they are
independent accountants with respect to the Company within the meaning of the
1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations thereunder; (ii) it is their opinion
that the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules
of the Company and the historical summaries of revenue and certain operating
expenses for the properties related thereto included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and audited by them
and covered by their opinions therein comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requires of the 1933 Act and the 1933
Act Regulations; (iii) they have performed limited procedures, not
constituting an audit, including a reading of the latest available unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements of the Company, a reading of the
minute books of the Company, inquiries of certain officials of the Company who
have responsibility for financial and accounting matters and such other
inquiries and procedures as may be specified in such letter, and on the basis
of such limited review and procedures nothing came to their attention that
caused them to believe that (A) any material modifications should be made to
the unaudited financial statements and financial statement schedules of the
Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, (B) the unaudited financial statements and financial
statement schedules of the Company included or incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1934 Act
as it relates to Form 10-Q and the 1934 Act Regulations, (C) the unaudited
operating data and balance sheet data of the Company in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus under the caption "Selected Consolidated
Financial Data" were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with
that used in determining the corresponding amounts in the audited financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus, or (D) at a specified date not more than three

26

days prior to the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, there has been any
change in the capital stock of the Company or in the consolidated long-term
debt of the Company or any decrease in the net assets of the Company, as
compared with the amounts shown in the most recent consolidated balance sheet

included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus or, during the period from the date of the most recent consolidated
statement of operations included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus to a specified date not more than
three days prior to the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, there were any
decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in
consolidated revenues, or decrease in net income or net income per share of
the Company, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus disclose have occurred or may
occur; and (iv) in addition to the audit referred to in their opinions and the
limited procedures referred to in clausea(iii) above, they have carried out
certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to
certain amounts, percentages and financial information which are included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and
which are specified by you, and have found such amounts, percentages and
financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting,
financial and other records of the Company and its subsidiaries identified in
such letter.

(e) At Closing Time, you shall have received from Coopers & Lybrand
L.L.P. a letter dated as of Closing Time to the effect that they reaffirm the
statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section, except that the "specified date" referred to shall be a date not more
than three days prior to such Closing Time.

(f) At Closing Time, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been
furnished with such documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for
the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the
Underwritten Securities and the Warrant Securities, if any, as herein
contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy of
any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the
conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in
connection with the issuance and sale of the Underwritten Securities and the
Warrant Securities, if any, as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in
form and substance to you and counsel for the Underwriters.

(g) In the event the Underwriters exercise their option provided in
a Terms Agreement as set forth in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any
portion of the Option Securities, the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein and the statements in any certificates furnished by
the Company hereunder shall be true and correct as of each Date of Delivery,
and, at the relevant Date of Delivery, you shall have received:

(i) A certificate, dated such Date of Delivery, of the
Chief Executive Officer, the President or the chief financial or
chief accounting officer of the Company, in their capacities as such,
confirming that the certificate delivered at Closing Time pursuant to
Section 5(c) hereof remains true and correct as of such Date of
Delivery.

(ii) The favorable opinion of Latham & Watkins, counsel for
the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
Underwriters, dated such Date of


27

Delivery, relating to the Option Securities and otherwise
substantially to the same effect as the opinion required by Sections
5(b)(i) and 5(b)(iv) hereof.

(iii) The favorable opinion of Robert P. Schulman, Esq.,
counsel for the Company and KC Holdings, or other counsel
satisfactory to the Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory
to counsel for the Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery,
relating to the Option Securities and otherwise substantially to the
same effect as the opinion required by Sections 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iv)
hereof.

(iv) The favorable opinion of Chapman and Cutler, counsel
for the Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the
Option Securities and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion
required by Sections 5(b)(iii) and 5(b)(iv) hereof.

(v) A letter from Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., in form and
substance satisfactory to you and dated such Date of Delivery,
substantially the same in scope and substance as the letter furnished
to you pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof, except that the "specified
date" in the letter furnished pursuant to this Section 5(h)(v) shall
be a date not more than three days prior to such Date of Delivery.

If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, the applicable Terms Agreement
may be terminated by you by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to
the Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party
to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof.

Section 6. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 5 of the 1933 Act as
follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the
information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement pursuant
to Rule 430A(b) or Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, if
applicable, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the
omission, or alleged omission therefrom, of a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

28


(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission referred to in subsectiona(i) above, or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including, the
fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by you), as incurred, which
was reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto);
provided further, that with respect to any preliminary prospectus, such
indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or the benefit of
any person controlling such Underwriter) if the person asserting any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses purchased the Underwritten
Securities which are the subject thereof from such Underwriter and if such
person was not sent or given a copy of the Prospectus (excluding any documents
incorporated therein by reference) at or prior to confirmation of the sale of
such Underwritten Securities to such person in any case where such sending or
giving is required by the 1933 Act and the untrue statement or omission of a
material fact contained in such preliminary prospects was corrected in the
Prospectus and the Prospectus was delivered to such Underwriter a reasonable
amount of time prior to the date of delivery of such confirmation.

(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in
subsectiona(a) of this Section, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly

for

29


use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sough hereunder, but failure
to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party
from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this
indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense
in the defense of such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after
receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such
action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties
defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to
such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to
them which are different from or in addition to those available to such
indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such
action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses
of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with
such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate
from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one
action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and
equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement
provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the
indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the
Company and the Underwriters with respect to the offering of the Underwritten
Securities shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims,
damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement
incurred by the Company and one or more of the Underwriters in respect of such
offering, as incurred, in such proportions that the Underwriters are
responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the
underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus in respect
of such offering bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon
and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Underwritten Securities purchased by it pursuant to the
applicable Terms Agreement and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay in respect of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
and expenses. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls
an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the
same

30


rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

Section 8. Representation, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, or contained in certificates of
officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and
in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or
the applicable Terms Agreement, or investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter or any controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company and
shall survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities.

Section 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) This Agreement,
(excluding the applicable Terms Agreement) may be terminated for any reason at
any time by the Company or by you upon the giving of 30 days' written notice
of such termination to the other party hereto.

(b) You may also terminate the applicable Terms Agreement, by
notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time if
(i) there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings, affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries
considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business, or (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the
financial markets in the United States or any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, the effect
of which is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the
Underwritten Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten
Securities, or (iii) trading in any of the securities of the Company has been
suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading
generally on either the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange
or the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices
for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have
been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or
any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared
by Federal, New York or Maryland authorities, or (iv) Preferred Shares or
Depository Shares are being offered and the rating assigned by any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization to any preferred stock of the
Company as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall have been
lowered since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly
announced that it has placed any preferred stock of the Company on what is
commonly termed a "watch list" for possible downgrading. As used in this
Section 9(b), the term "Prospectus" means the Prospectus in the form first
used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of the Underwritten Securities.

31

(c) In the event of any such termination, (x) the covenants set
forth in Section 3 with respect to any offering of Underwritten Securities
shall remain in effect in so long as any Underwriter owns any such

Underwritten Securities purchased from the Company pursuant to the applicable
Terms Agreement and (y) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the
provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set
forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8 and 13
hereof shall remain in effect.

Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one
or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the
Underwritten Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the
applicable Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), then you shall have
the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of
the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all,
but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be
agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if however, you shall not
have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the total number of Defaulted Securities does not
exceed 10% of the total number of Underwritten Securities to be
purchased pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting
Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement shall be obligated to
purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the
underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the total number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10%
of the total number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased
pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default under this Agreement and
the applicable Terms Agreement.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a
termination of the applicable Terms Agreement, either you or the Company shall
have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven
days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

Section 11. Notices. All notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to
the Underwriters shall be directed c/o A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., One North
Jefferson Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, attention Richard E.

32

McDonnell, and notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 3333 New Hyde
Park Road, New Hyde Park, New York 11042-0020, attention of Milton Cooper,
Chairman of the Board.

Section 12. Parties. This Agreement and the applicable Terms

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you and the
Company and any Underwriter who becomes a party of such Terms Agreement, and
their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement
or the applicable Terms Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give
any person, firm or corporation, other than those referred to in Sections 6
and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or such Terms Agreement
or any provisions herein or therein contained. This Agreement and the
applicable Terms Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof and
thereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
hereto and thereto and their respective successors and said controlling
persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives,
and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of
Underwritten Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor
by reason merely of such purchase.

Section 13. Governing Law and Time. This Agreement and the
applicable Terms Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State. Specified times of day refer to New York City time.

Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement and the applicable
Terms Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and if executed
in more than one counterpart the executed counterparts shall constitute a
single instrument.
