General
We are an equity real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2005, we owned or had a majority interest in 103 community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties comprising approximately 17.6 million square feet, located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, as well as in California, and one apartment complex in Maryland. In total, the 103 commercial properties were 96.3% leased at December 31, 2005. A joint venture in which we own a 30% interest owned four neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet as of December 31, 2005. In total, the joint venture properties in which we own an interest were 97.4% leased at December 31, 2005. We have paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders continuously since our founding in 1962 and have increased our dividends per common share for 38 consecutive years. Revenue, profit, total assets and other financial information of each reportable segment are described in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the financial statements contained in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K.
We were founded in 1962 as a real estate investment trust under the laws of the District of Columbia and reformed as a real estate investment trust in the state of Maryland in 1999. Our principal executive offices are located at 1626 East Jefferson Street, Rockville, Maryland 20852 and our telephone number is (301) 998-8100. Our Web site address is www.federalrealty.com. The information contained on our Web site is not a part of this report.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objective is to own, manage, acquire and redevelop a portfolio of quality retail properties, with the dominant property type being grocery anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers, that will:
| generate higher internal growth than our peers; |
| protect investor capital; |
| provide increasing cash flow for distributions to shareholders; and |
| provide potential for capital appreciation. |
Our traditional focus has been and remains on grocery anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. Late in 1994, recognizing a trend of increased consumer acceptance of retailer expansion to main streets, we expanded our investment strategy to include street retail and mixed-use properties. The mixed-use properties are typically centered around a retail component but also include office, residential and/or hotel components.
Operating Strategies
Our core operating strategy is to actively manage our properties to maximize rents and maintain high occupancy levels by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse base of tenants and replacing weaker, underperforming tenants with stronger ones. Our properties are generally located in some of the most densely
3
populated and affluent areas of the country. In addition, because of the in-fill nature of our locations, our properties generally face less competition per capita than properties owned by our peers. These strong demographics help our tenants generate higher sales, which has enabled us to maintain high occupancy rates, charge higher rental rates, and maintain steady rent growth, all of which increase the value of our portfolio. Our operating strategies also include:
| maintaining a diversified tenant base, thereby limiting exposure to any one tenants financial difficulties; |
| monitoring the merchandising mix of our tenant base to achieve a balance of strong national and regional tenants with local specialty tenants; |
| minimizing overhead and operating costs; |
| monitoring the physical appearance of our properties and the construction quality, condition and design of the buildings and other improvements located on our properties to maximize our ability to generate higher rents and occupancy rates; |
| developing local and regional market expertise in order to capitalize on market and retailing trends; |
| leveraging the contacts and experience of our management team to build and maintain long-term relationships with tenants, investors and financing sources; |
| increasing rental rates through the renewal of expiring leases or the leasing of space to new tenants at higher rental rates while limiting vacancy and down-time; and |
| providing exceptional customer service. |
Investing Strategies
Our investment strategy is to deploy capital at risk-adjusted rates of return that exceed our weighted average cost of capital in projects that have potential for future income growth.
Our investments primarily fall into one of the following four categories:
| renovating, expanding, reconfiguring and/or retenanting our existing properties to take advantage of under-utilized land or existing square footage to increase our internal growth rate; |
| acquiring community and neighborhood shopping centers, located in densely populated or growing affluent areas where barriers to entry for further development are high, and that have possibilities for enhancing operating performance through renovation, expansion, reconfiguration and/or retenanting; |
| renovating or expanding tenant spaces for tenants capable of producing higher sales, and therefore, paying higher rents, including expanding space available to an existing tenant that is performing well but is operating out of an old or otherwise inefficient store format; and |
| acquiring, in partnership with longer term investors who contribute a substantial portion of the equity needed to acquire those properties, stabilized community and neighborhood shopping centers, located in densely populated or growing affluent areas where barriers to entry for further development are high and that have limited potential for significant growth. |
Investment Criteria
When we evaluate potential redevelopment, retenanting, expansion and acquisition opportunities, we consider such factors as:
| the expected returns in relation to our cost of capital as well as the anticipated risk we will face in achieving the expected returns; |
4
| the anticipated growth rate of operating income generated by the property; |
| the tenant mix at the property, tenant sales performance and the creditworthiness of those tenants; |
| the geographic area in which the property is located, including the population density and household incomes, as well as the population and income trends in that geographic area; |
| competitive conditions in the vicinity of the property, including competition for tenants and the ability to create competing properties through redevelopment, new construction or renovation; |
| access to and visibility of the property from existing roadways and the potential for new, widened or realigned, roadways within the propertys trade area, which may affect access and commuting and shopping patterns; |
| the level and success of our existing investments in the market area; |
| the current market value of the land, buildings and other improvements and the potential for increasing those market values; and |
| the physical condition of the land, buildings and other improvements, including the structural and environmental condition. |
Financing Strategies
Our financing strategy is designed to enable us to maintain a strong balance sheet while retaining sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investing activities in the most cost-efficient way possible. Our financing strategy includes:
| maintaining a prudent level of overall leverage and an appropriate pool of unencumbered properties that is sufficient to support our unsecured borrowings; |
| managing our exposure to variable-rate debt; |
| taking advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt, reduce interest costs and manage our debt maturity schedule; |
| selling properties that have limited growth potential or are not a strategic fit within our overall portfolio and redeploying the proceeds to redevelop, renovate, retenant and/or expand our existing properties, acquire new properties or reduce debt; and |
| utilizing the most advantageous long-term source of capital available to us to finance redevelopment and acquisition opportunities, which may include: |
| the sale of our equity or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, |
| the incurrence of indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, |
| the issuance of operating units in a new or existing downREIT partnership that is controlled and consolidated by us (generally operating units in a downREIT partnership are issued in exchange for a tax deferred contribution of property and these units receive the same distributions as our common shares and the holders have the right to exchange their units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option), or |
| the use of joint venture arrangements. |
Employees
At December 31, 2005, we had 278 full-time employees and 116 part-time employees. None of the employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.
Tax Status
We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1962. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income tax on REIT
5
taxable income that we distribute to our shareholders. Under the internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain) each year. We will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) at regular corporate rates if we fail to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes in any taxable year, or to the extent we distribute less than 100% of REIT taxable income. We will also not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income.
We have elected to treat certain of our subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. In general, a TRS may engage in any real estate business and certain non-real estate businesses, subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The sales of condominiums at Santana Row beginning in August 2005 are being conducted through a TRS. As a result of these condominium sales, our TRS incurred approximately $3.5 million of income taxes in 2005. Prior to 2005, our TRS activities were limited and they did not incur any significant income taxes.
Governmental Regulations Affecting Our Properties
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including:
| the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, which we refer to as CERCLA; |
| the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act; |
| the Federal Clean Water Act; |
| the Federal Clean Air Act; |
| the Toxic Substances Control Act; |
| the Occupational Safety & Health Act; and |
| the Americans with Disabilities Act. |
The application of these laws to a specific property that we own depends on a variety of property-specific circumstances, including the current and former uses of the property, the building materials used at the property and the physical layout of the property. Under certain environmental laws, principally CERCLA, we, as the owner or operator of properties currently or previously owned, may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum product releases at the property. We may also be held liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs incurred in connection with the contamination, whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. As the owner or operator of real estate, we also may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate. Such costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.
Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance with these laws has had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe they will in the future. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past.
6
However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future. We have no current plans for substantial capital expenditures with respect to compliance with environmental, health, safety and similar laws and we carry environmental insurance which covers a number of environmental risks for most of our properties.
Competition
Numerous commercial developers and real estate companies compete with us with respect to the leasing and the acquisition of properties. Some of these competitors may possess greater capital resources than we do, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors in any of the primary markets where our properties are located are dominant in that market. This competition may:
| reduce the number of properties available for acquisition; |
| increase the cost of properties available for acquisition; |
| interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants, leading to increased vacancy rates and/or reduced rents, and |
| adversely affect our ability to minimize expenses of operation. |
Retailers at our properties also face increasing competition from outlet stores, discount shopping clubs, and other forms of marketing of goods and services, such as direct mail, electronic commerce and telemarketing. This competition could contribute to lease defaults and insolvency of tenants.

When we refer to forward-looking statements or information, sometimes we use words such as may, will, could, should, plans, intends, expects, believes, estimates, anticipates and continues. In particular, the below risk factors describe forward-looking information. The risk factors describe risks that may affect these statements but are not all-inclusive,
7
particularly with respect to possible future events. Many things can happen that can cause actual results to be different from those we describe. These factors include, but are not limited to the following:
Revenue from our properties may be reduced or limited if the retail operations of our tenants are not successful.
Revenue from our properties depends primarily on the ability of our tenants to pay the full amount of rent and other charges due under their leases on a timely basis. Some of our leases provide for the payment, in addition to base rent, of additional rent above the base amount according to a specified percentage of the gross sales generated by the tenants and for reimbursement of real estate taxes and expenses of operating the property. The amount of rent and expense reimbursements we receive from our tenants generally will depend in part on the success of our tenants retail operations, making us vulnerable to general economic downturns and other conditions affecting the retail industry. Any reduction in our tenants ability to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges, including the filing by any of our tenants for bankruptcy protection, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our net income depends on the success and continued presence of our anchor tenants.
Our net income could be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the business, or the bankruptcy or insolvency, of any anchor store or anchor tenant. Anchor tenants generally occupy large amounts of square footage, pay a significant portion of the total rents at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing significant amounts of customers to a property. The closing of one or more anchor stores prior to the expiration of the lease for that store, or the termination of a lease by one or more of a propertys anchor tenants, could adversely affect that property and result in lease terminations by, or reductions in rent from, other tenants whose leases may permit termination or rent reduction in those circumstances or whose own operations may suffer as a result. This could reduce our net income.
We may experience difficulty or delay in renewing leases or re-leasing space.
We derive most of our revenue directly or indirectly from rent received from our tenants. We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration or termination of leases, whether by their terms, as a result of a tenant bankruptcy or otherwise, leases for space in our properties may not be renewed, space may not be re-leased, or the terms of renewal or re-lease, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants, may be less favorable than current lease terms. As a result, our results of operations and our net income could be reduced.
The amount of debt we have and the restrictions imposed by that debt could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We have a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $1.4 billion of debt outstanding. Of that outstanding debt, approximately $271 million was secured by 13 of our properties and approximately $149 million represented capital lease obligations on 11 of our properties. In addition, we own a 30% interest in a joint venture that had $47.2 million of debt secured by four properties as of December 31, 2005. In total, approximately $1.2 billion of our debt as of December 31, 2005, which includes all of our property secured debt (including the property secured debt of the joint venture) and our capital lease obligations, is fixed rate debt. Our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur. We do not have a policy limiting the ratio of our debt to total capitalization or assets. The amount of our debt outstanding from time to time could have important consequences to our shareholders. For example, it could:
| require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, property acquisitions, redevelopments and other appropriate business opportunities that may arise in the future; |
| limit our ability to make distributions on our outstanding common shares and preferred shares; |
8
| make it difficult to satisfy our debt service requirements; |
| require us to dedicate increased amounts of our cash flow from operations to payments on our variable rate, unhedged debt if interest rates rise; |
| limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the factors that affect the profitability of our business; |
| limit our ability to obtain any additional debt or equity financing we may need in the future for working capital, debt refinancing, capital expenditures, acquisitions, redevelopment or other general corporate purposes or to obtain such financing on favorable terms; and |
| limit our flexibility in conducting our business, which may place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors with less debt or debt with less restrictive terms. |
Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness will depend primarily on our future performance, which to a certain extent is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt or meet our other cash needs. If we are unable to generate this cash flow from our business, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, sell assets or obtain additional financing to meet our debt obligations and other cash needs, including the payment of dividends required to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust. We cannot assure you that any such refinancing, sale of assets or additional financing would be possible on terms that we would find acceptable.
We are obligated to comply with financial and other covenants in our debt that could restrict our operating activities, and the failure to comply with such covenants could result in defaults that accelerate payment under our debt.
Our credit facility and term loans include financial covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. We are also required to comply with additional covenants that include, among other things, provisions:
| relating to the maintenance of property securing a mortgage; |
| restricting our ability to pledge assets or create liens; |
| restricting our ability to incur additional debt; |
| restricting our ability to amend or modify existing leases at properties securing a mortgage; |
| restricting our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
| restricting our ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all of our other financial covenants. If we were to breach any of our debt covenants, including the covenants listed above, and did not cure the breach within any applicable cure period, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately, and, if the debt is secured, could immediately begin proceedings to take possession of the property securing the loan. Many of our debt arrangements, including our public notes and our credit facility, are cross-defaulted, which means that the lenders under those debt arrangements can put us in default and require immediate repayment of their debt if we breach and fail to cure a covenant under certain of our other debt obligations. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations and the market value of our shares.
Our development activities are inherently risky.
General. The ground-up development of improvements on real property, as opposed to the renovation and redevelopment of existing improvements, presents substantial risks. We generally do not intend to undertake
9
construction of any new large-scale mixed-use, ground-up development projects; however, we do intend to complete the development and construction of remaining phases of projects we already have started, such as Bethesda Row in Bethesda, Maryland and Santana Row in San Jose, California, and may undertake development of other projects if it is justifiable on a risk-adjusted basis. If additional phases of any of our existing projects or if any new projects are not successful, it may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the risks associated with real estate investment in general as described elsewhere, the risks associated with our remaining development activities include:
| significant time lag between commencement and completion subjects us to greater risks due to fluctuation in the general economy; |
| failure or inability to obtain construction or permanent financing on favorable terms; |
| expenditure of money and time on projects that may never be completed; |
| inability to achieve projected rental rates or anticipated pace of lease-up; |
| higher-than-estimated construction costs, including labor and material costs; and |
| possible delay in completion of the project because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, or acts of God (such as fires, earthquakes or floods). |
Santana Row. Santana Row is our largest single investment, and if it is not successful it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2005, we had more than $450 million (net of fire insurance proceeds from the 2002 fire at Santana Row) invested at Santana Row. That amount includes the costs associated with the construction of 256 residential units currently under development. We continue to develop a master plan for the remaining parcels at Santana Row.
The success of Santana Row will depend on many factors which cannot be assured and are not entirely within our control. These factors include, among others, the demand for retail and residential space, the cost of operations, including utilities and insurance, the availability and cost of capital and the general economy, particularly in and around the Silicon Valley. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by delays or cost overruns in completing future phases of Santana Row, by an inability to achieve the market rents that were projected when the project was commenced, or by slower than projected lease-up of the project.
Of the residential units at Santana Row, 219 have either been sold or currently are classified as held for sale. Our costs of operating the project could increase as a result of the sale of these units, which would reduce our net income from the project. In addition, the condominium associations governing those units have some rights to vote on budgets for Santana Row and some ability to impact the manner in which the project is operated which could adversely impact the success of the project or reduce our net income.
Redevelopments and acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.
Our investment strategy is focused on the redevelopment and acquisition of community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by grocery stores, drugstores or high volume, value-oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. The redevelopment and acquisition of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:
| our estimate of the costs to improve, reposition or redevelop a property may prove to be too low, or the time we estimate to complete the improvement, repositioning or redevelopment may be too short. As a result, the property may fail to achieve the returns we have projected, either temporarily or for a longer time; |
10
| we may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties we identify; |
| we may not be able to integrate any acquisitions into our existing operations successfully; |
| properties we redevelop or acquire may fail to achieve within the time frames we project the occupancy or rental rates we project at the time we make the decision to invest, which may result in the properties failure to achieve the returns we projected; |
| our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs; and |
| our investigation of a property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition cost. |
Our ability to grow will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital.
Our growth strategy is focused on the redevelopment of properties we already own and the acquisition of additional properties. We believe that it will be difficult to fund our expected growth with cash from operating activities because, in addition to other requirements, we are required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) each year to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we must rely primarily upon the availability of debt or equity capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. The debt could include mortgage loans from third parties or the sale of debt securities. Equity capital could include our common shares or preferred shares. We cannot guarantee that additional financing, refinancing or other capital will be available in the amounts we desire or on favorable terms. Our access to debt or equity capital depends on a number of factors, including the markets perception of our growth potential, our ability to pay dividends, and our current and potential future earnings. Depending on the outcome of these factors, we could experience delay or difficulty in implementing our growth strategy on satisfactory terms, or be unable to implement this strategy.
Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow and the market price of our outstanding debt and preferred shares.
Of our approximately $1.4 billion of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2005, approximately $165 million bears interest at variable rates and was unhedged. We also may borrow additional funds at variable interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on our variable rate debt and reduce our cash flow, which could adversely affect our ability to service our debt and meet our other obligations and also could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our shareholders. Although we have in the past and may in the future enter into hedging arrangements or other transactions as to a portion of our variable rate debt to limit our exposure to rising interest rates, the amounts we are required to pay under the variable rate debt to which the hedging or similar arrangements relate may increase in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our hedging arrangements. In addition, an increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our debt securities and preferred shares to demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our outstanding debt securities and preferred shares and the cost of issuing additional debt securities or preferred shares.
Our performance and value are subject to general risks associated with the real estate industry.
Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and, consequently, the value of our investments, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay distributions to our
11
shareholders will be adversely affected. As a real estate company, we are susceptible to the following real estate industry risks:
| economic downturns in the areas where our properties are located; |
| adverse changes in local real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply or reduction in demand; |
| changes in tenant preferences that reduce the attractiveness of our properties to tenants; |
| zoning or regulatory restrictions; |
| decreases in market rental rates; |
| weather conditions that may increase or decrease energy costs and other weather-related expenses; |
| costs associated with the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space; and |
| increases in the cost of adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, associated with one or more properties, which may occur even when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in revenues from one or more properties, although real estate taxes typically do not increase upon a reduction in such revenues. |
Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from our properties decreases.
Our financial results depend primarily on leasing space in our properties to tenants on terms favorable to us. Costs associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property is not fully occupied, rental rates decrease, or other circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property. As a result, cash flow from the operations of our properties may be reduced if a tenant does not pay its rent or we are unable to rent our properties on favorable terms. Under those circumstances, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and may incur substantial legal costs. Additionally, new properties that we may acquire or develop may not produce any significant revenue immediately, and the cash flow from existing operations may be insufficient to pay the operating expenses and debt service associated with such new properties until they are fully leased.
Competition may limit our ability to purchase new properties and generate sufficient income from tenants.
Numerous commercial developers and real estate companies compete with us in seeking tenants for our existing properties and properties for acquisition. This competition may:
| reduce properties available for acquisition; |
| increase the cost of properties available for acquisition; |
| reduce rents payable to us; |
| interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants; |
| lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties; and |
| adversely affect our ability to minimize expenses of operation. |
Retailers at our properties also face increasing competition from outlet stores, discount shopping clubs, and other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail, internet marketing and telemarketing. This competition could contribute to lease defaults and insolvency of tenants. If we are unable to continue to attract appropriate retail tenants to our properties, or to purchase new properties in our geographic markets, it could materially affect our ability to generate net income, service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders.
12
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.
Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. In addition, there are some limitations under federal income tax laws applicable to real estate and to REITs in particular that may limit our ability to sell our assets. We may not be able to alter our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Our inability to respond quickly to adverse changes in the performance of our investments could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations and make distributions to our shareholders.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate.
We currently carry comprehensive insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire, flood, rental loss and acts of terrorism. We also currently carry earthquake insurance on all of our properties in California and environmental insurance on most of our properties. All of these policies contain coverage limitations. We believe these coverages are of the types and amounts customarily obtained for or by an owner of similar types of real property assets located in the areas where our properties are located. We intend to obtain similar insurance coverage on subsequently acquired properties.
The availability of insurance coverage may decrease and the prices for insurance may increase as a consequence of significant losses incurred by the insurance industry. As a result, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and toxic mold, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We therefore may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt seriously our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Also, due to inflation, changes in codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors, it may not be feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a building after it has been damaged or destroyed. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations, including distributions to our shareholders.
We may have limited flexibility in dealing with our jointly owned investments.
Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of funds that we may invest in properties and assets jointly with other persons or entities and as of February 28, 2006, excluding our joint venture with Clarion Lion Properties Fund, we hold eight shopping centers and five urban retail and mixed-use properties jointly with other persons. We may make additional joint investments in the future. Our existing and future joint investments may subject us to special risks, including the possibility that our partners or co-investors might become bankrupt, that those partners or co-investors might have economic or other business interests or goals which are unlike or incompatible with our business interests or goals, and that those partners or co-investors might be in a position to take action contrary to our suggestions or instructions, or in opposition to our policies or objectives. Although we hold the managing general partnership or membership interest in all of our existing co-investments as of February 28, 2006, we must obtain the consent of the co-investor or meet defined criteria to sell or to finance five of these properties. Joint ownership gives a third party the opportunity to influence the return we can achieve on some of our investments and may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. We may also be liable for the actions of our co-investors.
In addition, on July 1, 2004, we entered into a new joint venture with affiliates of Clarion Lion Properties Fund for purposes of acquiring properties. Although we are the managing general partner of that entity, we have only a 30% ownership interest in that entity. Our partners consent is required to take certain actions with respect
13
to the properties acquired by the venture, and as a result, we may not be able to take actions that we believe are necessary or desirable to protect or increase the value of the property or the propertys income stream. Pursuant to the terms of our partnership, we must obtain our partners consent to do the following:
| enter into new anchor tenant leases, modify existing anchor tenant leases or enforce remedies against anchor tenants; |
| make certain repairs, renovations or other changes or improvements to properties; and |
| sell or finance the property with secured debt. |
The terms of our partnership require that certain acquisition opportunities be presented first to the joint venture, which limits our ability to acquire properties for our own account which could, in turn, limit our ability to grow. Our investment in this joint venture is also subject to the risks described above for jointly owned investments. As of December 31, 2005, this joint venture owned four properties.
Environmental laws and regulations could reduce the value or profitability of our properties.
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to hazardous materials, environmental protection and human health and safety. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we and our tenants may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in properties we own or operate, and also may be required to pay other costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. This liability may be imposed without regard to whether we or our tenants knew about the release of these types of substances or were responsible for their release. The presence of contamination or the failure properly to remediate contamination at any of our properties may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease those properties or to borrow funds by using those properties as collateral. The costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. We are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that management believes would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations taken as a whole. The uses of any of our properties prior to our acquisition of the property and the building materials used at the property are among the property-specific factors that will affect how the environmental laws are applied to our properties. If we are subject to any material environmental liabilities, the liabilities could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.
We cannot predict what other environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist on the properties in the future. Compliance with existing and new laws and regulations may require us or our tenants to spend funds to remedy environmental problems. Our tenants, like many of their competitors, have incurred, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures and other costs associated with complying with these laws and regulations, which will adversely affect their potential profitability.
Generally, our tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet remediation requirements. Our leases typically impose obligations on our tenants to indemnify us from any compliance costs we may incur as a result of the environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. If a lease does not require compliance or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, we could be forced to pay these costs. If not addressed, environmental conditions could impair our ability to sell or re-lease the affected properties in the future or result in lower sales prices or rent payments.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 could require us to take remedial steps with respect to existing or newly acquired properties.
Our existing properties, as well as properties we may acquire, as commercial facilities, are required to comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Investigation of a property may reveal non-compliance with this Act. The requirements of this Act, or of other federal, state or local laws, also may
14
change in the future and restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to access for disabled persons. Future compliance with this Act may require expensive changes to the properties.
The revenues generated by our tenants could be negatively affected by various federal, state and local laws to which they are subject.
We and our tenants are subject to a wide range of federal, state and local laws and regulations, such as local licensing requirements, consumer protection laws and state and local fire, life-safety and similar requirements that affect the use of the properties. The leases typically require that each tenant comply with all regulations. Failure to comply could result in fines by governmental authorities, awards of damages to private litigants, or restrictions on the ability to conduct business on such properties. Non-compliance of this sort could reduce our revenues from a tenant, could require us to pay penalties or fines relating to any non-compliance, and could adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a property.
Failure to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes would cause us to be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for payment of distributions.
We believe that we are organized and qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). However, we cannot assure you that we will remain qualified as such in the future.
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions and applicable income tax regulations that have been issued under the Code. Certain facts and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying rents and other income. Satisfying this requirement could be difficult, for example, if defaults by tenants were to reduce the amount of income from qualifying rents. Also, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains). In addition, new legislation, new regulations, new administrative interpretations or new court decisions may significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT:
| we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing taxable income; |
| we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates; |
| we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax; |
| unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified; |
| we could be required to pay significant income taxes, which would substantially reduce the funds available for investment or for distribution to our shareholders for each year in which we failed or were not permitted to qualify; and |
| we would no longer be required by law to make any distributions to our shareholders. |
We may be required to incur additional debt to qualify as a REIT.
As a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains). We are subject to income tax on amounts of undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain. In addition, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax if we fail to distribute sufficient income to meet a minimum distribution test based on our ordinary income, capital gain and aggregate undistributed income from prior years.
15
We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the Codes distribution provisions and to avoid federal income and excise tax. We may need to borrow funds to meet our distribution requirements because:
| our income may not be matched by our related expenses at the time the income is considered received for purposes of determining taxable income; and |
| non-deductible capital expenditures, creation of reserves, or debt service requirements may reduce available cash but not taxable income. |
In these circumstances, we might have to borrow funds on unfavorable terms and we may have to borrow funds even if our management believes the market conditions make borrowing financially unattractive.
To maintain our status as a REIT, we limit the amount of shares any one shareholder can own.
The Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. For example, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code). To protect our REIT status, our declaration of trust prohibits any one shareholder from owning (actually or constructively) more than 9.8% in value of the outstanding common shares or of any class or series of outstanding preferred shares. The constructive ownership rules are complex. Shares of our capital stock owned, actually or constructively, by a group of related individuals and/or entities may be treated as constructively owned by one of those individuals or entities. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% in value of the outstanding common shares and/or a class or series of preferred shares (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns common shares or preferred shares) by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity (or another) to own constructively more than 9.8% in value of the outstanding stock. If that happened, either the transfer or ownership would be void or the shares would be transferred to a charitable trust and then sold to someone who can own those shares without violating the 9.8% ownership limit.
The Board of Trustees may waive these restrictions on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the Board of Trustees and two-thirds of our shareholders eligible to vote at a shareholder meeting may remove these restrictions if they determine it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT. The 9.8% ownership restrictions may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of our control that might involve a premium price for the common shares or otherwise be in the shareholders best interest.
We cannot assure you we will continue to pay dividends at historical rates.
Our ability to continue to pay dividends on our common shares at historical rates or to increase our common share dividend rate, and our ability to pay preferred share dividends and service our debt securities, will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
| our financial condition and results of future operations; |
| the performance of lease terms by tenants; |
| the terms of our loan covenants; and |
| our ability to acquire, finance, develop or redevelop and lease additional properties at attractive rates. |
If we do not maintain or increase the dividend rate on our common shares, it could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and other securities. Any preferred shares we may offer in the future may have a fixed dividend rate that would not increase with any increases in the dividend rate of our common shares. Conversely, payment of dividends on our common shares may be subject to payment in full of the dividends on any preferred shares and payment of interest on any debt securities we may offer.
16
Certain tax and anti-takeover provisions of our declaration of trust and bylaws may inhibit a change of our control.
Certain provisions contained in our declaration of trust and bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or acquisition proposal to us. If this were to happen, it could delay, deter or prevent a change in control or the removal of existing management. These provisions also may delay or prevent the shareholders from receiving a premium for their common shares over then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include:
| the REIT ownership limit described above; |
| authorization of the issuance of our preferred shares with powers, preferences or rights to be determined by the Board of Trustees; |
| a staggered, fixed-size Board of Trustees consisting of three classes of trustees; |
| special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, by one-third of the trustees or by shareholders possessing no less than 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting; |
| the Board of Trustees, without a shareholder vote, can classify or reclassify unissued shares of beneficial interest, including the reclassification of common shares into preferred shares and vice-versa; |
| a two-thirds shareholder vote is required to approve some amendments to the declaration of trust; |
| advance-notice requirements for proposals to be presented at shareholder meetings; and |
| a shareholder rights plan that provides, among other things, that when specified events occur, our shareholders will be entitled to purchase from us a number of common shares equal in value to two times the purchase price, which initially will be equal to $65 per share, subject to certain adjustments. |
In addition, if we elect to be governed by it in the future, the Maryland control share acquisition law could delay or prevent a change in control. Under Maryland law, unless a REIT elects not to be subject to this law, control shares acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by shareholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer and by officers or trustees who are employees of the REIT. Control shares are voting shares that would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within specified ranges of voting power. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, with some exceptions.
Our bylaws state that the Maryland control share acquisition law will not apply to any acquisition by any person of our common shares. This bylaw provision may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares, by a vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote, and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.
We may amend or revise our business policies without your approval, and we have adopted a business plan that involves changes in our operational policies.
Our Board of Trustees may amend or revise our operating policies without shareholder approval. Our investment, financing and borrowing policies and policies with respect to all other activities, such as growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees may amend or revise these policies at any time and from time to time at its discretion. A change in these policies could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities.
The current business plan adopted by our Board of Trustees focuses on our investment in neighborhood and community shopping centers, principally through redevelopments and acquisitions. If this business plan is not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
17
Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make, including those in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as may be required by law, we make no promise to update any of the forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully review the above risks and the risk factors.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
General
As of December 31, 2005, we owned or had a majority ownership interest in 103 community and neighborhood shopping centers and retail mixed-used properties comprising approximately 17.6 million square feet, located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, as well as California. In addition we own one apartment complex in Maryland. No single property accounted for over 10% of our 2005 total revenue or net income. We believe that our properties are adequately covered by commercial general liability, fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism and business interruption insurance provided by reputable companies, with commercially reasonable exclusions, deductibles and limits.
We operate our business on an asset management model, where small, focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. We have divided our portfolio of properties into two operating regions: the East and West. Each region is operated under the direction of an asset manager, with dedicated leasing, property management and financial staff, and operates largely autonomously with respect to day-to-day operating decisions.
Tenant Diversification
As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 2,200 leases, ranging from sole proprietors to major national retailers. No one tenant or affiliated group of tenants accounted for more than 2.5% of our annualized base rent as of December 31, 2005. As a result of our tenant diversification, we believe our exposure to any recent and future bankruptcy filing in the retail sector has not been and will not be significant.
18
Geographic Diversification
Our 104 properties are located in 12 states and the District of Columbia. The following table shows, by region and state within the region, the number of properties, the gross leasable area and the percentage of total portfolio gross leasable area in each state as of December 31, 2005.

Leases, Lease Terms and Lease Expirations
Our leases are classified as operating leases and typically are structured to require the monthly payment of minimum rents in advance, subject to periodic increases during the term of the lease, percentage rents based on the level of sales achieved by tenants, and reimbursement of a majority of on-site operating expenses and real estate taxes. These features in our leases reduce our exposure to higher costs caused by inflation and allow us to participate in improved tenant sales.
Commercial property leases generally range from 3 to 10 years; however, certain leases with anchor tenants may be longer. Many of our leases contain tenant options that enable the tenant to extend the term of the lease at expiration at pre-established rental rates that often include fixed rent increases, consumer price index adjustments or other market rate adjustments from the prior base rent. Leases on residential units are generally for a period of one year or less and, in 2005, represented approximately 1.9% of total revenues.
19
The following table sets forth the schedule of lease expirations for our commercial leases in place as of December 31, 2005 for (i) each of the 10 years beginning with 2006 and (ii) after 2015 in the aggregate, in both cases, assuming that none of the tenants exercise future renewal options. Annualized base rents reflect in-place contractual rents as of December 31, 2005.

Retail and Residential Properties
The following table sets forth information concerning all properties in which we own an equity interest or have a leasehold interest and are consolidated as of December 31, 2005. Except as otherwise noted, we are the sole owner of our retail properties. Principal tenants are the largest tenants in the property based on square feet leased or are tenants important to a propertys success due to their ability to attract retail customers.

(4) | On December 29, 2005, we entered into a Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary related to the acquisition of this property. The exchange agreement is for a maximum of 180 days and allows us to defer gains on sale of other properties sold by us within this period. Until the earlier of termination of this exchange agreement or June 27, 2006, the third party intermediary is the legal owner of this property, although we control the property and retain all of the economic benefits and risks associated with it. Accordingly, as of December 29, 2005, we consolidate this property and its operations. |

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Currently, we have two matters expected to go to trial this year. Based on the facts of these matters and advice from our legal counsel, we believe that we will prevail in both matters. If, however, we are unsuccessful in our defense of either of these matters, there is a possibility that there will be a material adverse impact on our net income in the period in which we would pay the damages awarded in any adverse judgment. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.

Our ongoing operations generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as we maintain our REIT status and distribute to shareholders at least 100% of our REIT taxable income. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain). State income taxes are not material to our operations or cash flows.
Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual net income available for common shareholders, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant. We have paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders continuously since our founding in 1962 and have increased our annual dividend rate for 38 consecutive years.
Our total annual dividends paid per share for 2005 and 2004 were $2.320 per share and $1.975 per share, respectively. The annual dividend amounts are different from dividends as calculated for federal income tax purposes. Distributions to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to a shareholder as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a nontaxable reduction of the shareholders basis in such shareholders shares, to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable capital gain. Distributions that are treated as a reduction of the shareholders basis in its shares will have the effect of increasing the amount of gain, or reducing the amount of loss, recognized upon the sale of the shareholders shares. No assurances can be given regarding what portion, if any, of distributions in 2006 or subsequent years will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. During a year in which a REIT earns a net long-term capital gain, the REIT can elect under Code Sec. 857(b)(3) to designate a portion of dividends paid to shareholders as capital gain dividends. If this election is made, then the capital gain dividends are taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital gains. For 2005 and 2004, a portion of our distributions was designated as capital gain dividend.

Distributions on our 8.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares are payable at the rate of $2.125 per share per annum, prior to distributions on our common shares. We do not believe that the preferential rights available to the holders of our preferred shares or the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements will have an adverse effect on our ability to pay dividends in the normal course of business to our common shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

1) | Property operating income consists of rental income, other property income and mortgage interest income, less rental expenses and real estate taxes. This measure is used internally to evaluate the performance of our regional operations, and we consider it to be a significant measure. |
2) | Determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. |
3) | Funds from Operations (FFO) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as follows: net income, computed in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and excluding extraordinary items and gains on the sale of real estate. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and we have historically reported our FFO available for common shareholders in addition to our net income. |
We consider FFO available for common shareholders a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation. We use FFO primarily as one of several means of assessing our operating performance in comparison with other REITs. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. Additional information regarding our calculation of FFO is contained in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations available for common shareholders is as follows:

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Overview
We are an equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2005, we owned or had a majority interest in 103 community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties comprising approximately 17.6 million square feet. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategic metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, as well as in California, and one apartment complex in Maryland. In total, the 103 commercial properties were 96.3% leased at December 31, 2005. A joint venture in which we own a 30% interest owned four neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet as of December 31, 2005. In total, the joint venture properties in which we own an interest were 97.4% leased at December 31, 2005. We have paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders continuously since our founding in 1962 and have increased our dividends per common share for 38 consecutive years.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we refer to as GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using managements best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. In addition, information relied upon by management in preparing such estimates includes internally generated financial and operating information, external market information, when available, and when necessary, information obtained from consultations with third party experts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A discussion of possible risks which may affect these estimates is included in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if changes in the estimate or accrual results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
The most significant accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates, are as follows:
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Leases with tenants are classified as operating leases. Substantially all such leases contain fixed escalations which occur at specified times during the term of the lease. Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis from when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease, net of valuation adjustments, based on managements assessment of credit, collection and other business risk. We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income taking into account our expertise in the retail sector, tenant credit information both internally and externally available, payment history, industry trends, tenant credit-worthiness and remaining lease terms. In some cases, primarily relating to straight-line rents, the collection of these amounts extends beyond one year. The extended collection period for straight-line rents along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of a portion of straight-line rental income until the collection of such income is reasonably assured. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income. Historically, we have recognized bad debt expense between 1.0% and 1.5% of rental income and it was 0.5% in 2005. An increase in our bad debt expense would decrease our net income. For example, if we had experienced an increase in bad debt of 0.5% of rental income in 2005, our net income would have been reduced by approximately $2.0 million.
Real Estate
The nature of our business as an owner, re-developer and operator of retail shopping centers and mixed-use properties means that we invest significant amounts of capital. Depreciation and maintenance costs relating to our properties constitute substantial costs for the Trust as well as the industry as a whole. The Trust capitalizes real estate investments and depreciates them in accordance with GAAP and consistent with industry standards based on our best estimates of the assets physical and economic useful lives. The cost of our real estate investments, less salvage value, if any, is charged to depreciation expense over the estimated life of the asset using straight-line rates for financial statement purposes. We periodically review the estimated lives of our assets and implement changes, as necessary, to these estimates and, therefore, to our depreciation rates. These reviews take into account the historical retirement and replacement of our assets, the repairs required to maintain the condition of our assets, the cost of redevelopments that may extend the useful lives of our assets and general economic and real estate factors. A newly developed neighborhood shopping center building would typically have an economic useful life of 50 to 60 years, but since many of our assets are not newly developed buildings, estimating the useful lives of assets that are long-lived as well as their salvage value requires significant management judgment. The longer the economic useful life, the lower the depreciation charged to that asset in a fiscal period will be, which in turn will increase our net income. Similarly, having a shorter economic useful life would increase the depreciation for a fiscal period and decrease our net income.
32
Land, buildings and real estate under development are recorded at cost. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging generally from 35 years to a maximum of 50 years on buildings and improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. Tenant work and other major improvements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Minor improvements, furniture and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Certain external and internal costs directly related to the development, redevelopment and leasing of real estate, including applicable salaries and the related direct costs, are capitalized. The capitalized costs associated with developments and redevelopments are depreciated over the life of the improvement. Capitalized costs associated with leases are depreciated or amortized over the base term of the lease. Unamortized leasing costs are charged to operating expense if the applicable tenant vacates before the expiration of its lease. Undepreciated tenant work is charged to operations if the applicable tenant vacates and the tenant work is replaced.
When applicable, as lessee, we classify our leases of land and building as operating or capital leases in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 13, Accounting for Leases. We are required to use judgment and make estimates in determining the lease term, the estimated economic life of the property and the interest rate to be used in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 13. These estimates determine whether or not the lease meets the qualification of a capital lease and is recorded as an asset.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our real estate for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. Certain events could occur that would materially affect our estimates and assumptions related to depreciation. Unforeseen competition or changes in customer shopping habits could substantially alter our assumptions regarding our ability to realize the return on investment in the property and therefore reduce the economic life of the asset and affect the amount of depreciation expense to charge against both the current and future revenues. We periodically review the lives of assets and any decrease in asset lives could have the effect of increasing depreciation expense while any analysis indicating that lives are longer than we have assumed could have the effect of decreasing depreciation expense. In order to determine the impact on depreciation expense of a different average life of our real estate assets taken as a whole, we used 25 years, which is the approximate average life of all assets being depreciated at the end of 2005. If the estimated useful lives of all assets being depreciated were increased by one year, the consolidated annual depreciation expense would have decreased by approximately $3.2 million.
Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of developments and redevelopments not yet placed in service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use. Generally, rental property is considered substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from completion of major construction activity. We make judgments as to the time period over which to capitalize such costs and these assumptions have a direct impact on net income because capitalized costs are not subtracted in calculating net income. If the time period for capitalizing interest is extended, more interest is capitalized, thereby decreasing interest expense and increasing net income during that period.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Upon acquisition of operating real estate properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships), and assumed debt in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. We utilize methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. We evaluate the useful life of each amortizable intangible asset each reporting period and account for any changes in such estimated useful life over the revised remaining useful life.
33
Long-Lived Assets
There are estimates and assumptions made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements for which the actual results will be determined over long periods of time. This includes the recoverability of long-lived assets, including our properties that have been acquired or developed. Management must evaluate properties for possible impairment of value and, for those properties where impairment may be indicated, make estimates of future cash flows including revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over very long periods. Because our properties typically have a very long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of book value requires significant management judgment.
In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly-acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity comprising operations and cash flows that can be distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the entity. As a result, the sale of a property, or the classification of a property as held for sale, requires us to report the results of operations and cash flows of that property as discontinued operations.
We are required to make estimates of undiscounted cash flows in determining whether there is an impairment of an asset. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income.
Contingencies
We are sometimes involved in lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
Any difference between our estimate of a potential loss and the actual outcome would result in a reduction to net income if the actual loss is greater than our estimate. In addition, we reserve for estimated losses, if any, associated with warranties given to a buyer at the time an asset is sold or other potential liabilities relating to that sale, taking any insurance policies into account. These warranties may extend up to ten years and the calculation of potential liability requires significant judgment. Any increases to our estimated warranty losses would usually result in a decrease in net income.
Self-Insurance
We are self-insured for general liability costs up to predetermined retained amounts per claim, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. We currently do not maintain third party stop-loss insurance policies to cover liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. Our accrual for self-insurance liability is determined by management and is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Management considers a number of factors, including third-party actuary valuations and future increases in costs of claims, when making these determinations. If our liability costs exceed these accruals, it will reduce our net income.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R is similar to the fair-value approach permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensations. However, 123R requires all share-based awards to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosures, which we have previously provided as permitted by 123, are no longer an alternative.
34
Effective January 1, 2006, we will adopt 123R using the modified prospective approach. The modified prospective approach requires the recognition of compensation cost for share-based awards based on the grant- date fair value from the beginning for the fiscal period in which the provisions of 123R are first applied. Measurement and recognition of compensation costs for share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the date 123R is adopted are based on the same method used previously under SFAS 123. Share-based awards granted, modified, or settled after 123R is adopted, will be measured and recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of 123R.
We have used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of options under 123 and intend to continue to utilize this model to compute the fair value of options under 123R. Upon the adoption of 123R, we expect to recognize a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle which will increase net income by approximately $2 million. This cumulative effect is related to certain performance shares issued to certain officers and employees in 2002 and 2003 that were required to be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date under APB No. 25, because the ultimate number of these shares that will vest is dependent on the achievement of certain performance targets. Under 123R, these performance awards are accounted for based on their grant-date fair value and are not adjusted to fair value at each reporting date.
While there are certain differences between 123 and 123R, we believe that our pro forma disclosures under 123 approximate the effect of 123R. Other than the cumulative effect of adoption discussed above, we do not believe that the adoption of 123R will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Generally, our acquisitions are initially financed by available cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facility which may be repaid later with funds raised through the issuance of new equity or new long-term debt. Additionally, on December 29, 2005, we assumed a $22.3 million mortgage in connection with the acquisition of Crow Canyon Commons, as discussed further below.
The Assembly Square/Sturtevant Street acquisition includes a 332,000 square foot enclosed mall in the City of Somerville, Massachusetts, for which the redevelopment into a power center is nearly complete, and an adjacent ten-acre 220,000 square foot retail/industrial complex. As of December 31, 2005, we have invested a total of $103.4 million in the property, and we expect to invest approximately $3.5 million more to complete the redevelopment of the power center.
The acquisition of Assembly Square also included zoning entitlements to add four mixed-use buildings on 3.5 acres, which could include approximately 41,000 square feet of retail space, 51,000 square feet of office space and 239 residential units. The acquisition also included an option to purchase adjacent land parcels, all of which are zoned for dense, mixed-use development. We expect that we will structure any future development of Assembly Square in a manner designed to mitigate our risk which may include selling entitlements or co-developing with other real estate companies.

2005 Financing Developments
On December 2, 2005 we issued $125 million of fixed rate notes which mature in June 2016 and bear interest at 5.65%. The proceeds of this note offering were used to pay down our revolving credit facility, including amounts drawn to pay off our 6.625% Notes due December 2005.
On December 29, 2005, in connection with the acquisition of Crow Canyon Commons, we assumed a mortgage note with an approximate outstanding balance of $22.3 million. This note requires monthly installment payments, bears interest at 5.4% and matures in July 2013.
Outlook
General
We anticipate our 2006 income from continuing operations to grow in comparison to our 2005 income from continuing operations. We expect this income growth primarily to be generated by a combination of the following:
| increased earnings in our same center portfolio and from properties under redevelopment; and |
| increased earnings as we expand our portfolio through property acquisitions. |
We continue to see a positive impact on our income as a result of the redevelopment of our shopping centers and higher rental rates on existing spaces that are experiencing tenant turnover. In 2006 and 2007, we anticipate that over 700,000 square feet of retail space that has been under redevelopment will stabilize. As redevelopment properties stabilize, spaces that were out of service begin generating revenue; in addition, spaces that were not
36
out of service and that have expiring leases may generate higher revenue because we generally receive higher rent on new leases. Further, leases signed in 2004 and 2005 on spaces for which there was a previous tenant have on average been renewed at double digit base rent increases. Many of the leases with rents commencing in 2006 were signed in 2005 or earlier. On spaces where the tenant leases are expiring in 2006, our analysis of current market rents as compared to rents on the existing leases leads us to expect that the base rents in new leases will have double-digit average increases over the base rents currently in place.
At December 31, 2005 the leaseable square feet in our shopping centers was 93.9% occupied and 96.3% leased. The leased rate is higher than the occupancy rate due to spaces that are being redeveloped or improved or that are awaiting permits and therefore, are not yet ready to be occupied. We believe that our occupancy rate will improve slightly in 2006 as tenants take possession of leased spaces, particularly in centers being redeveloped, but that our occupancy rate will always be below our leased rate as leased spaces are prepared for occupancy. Our occupancy and leased rates are subject to variability over time due to acquisitions and the timing of the start and stabilization of our redevelopment projects.
Santana Row
Santana Row, located in San Jose, California, includes approximately 563,000 square feet of retail space, 292 residential rental units, and a ground lease to a 213-room hotel. The 292 residential rental units include 256 units that are being constructed and are expected to be complete in early to mid-2006 and 36 existing rental units. The 292 residential rental units do not include 219 units that have been sold as condominiums or are currently classified as held for sale. Our total investment in Santana Row, as currently under development, is anticipated to be $432 million (which includes the 563,000 square feet of retail space, the 292 residential rental units, the related common areas and infrastructure and $11 million invested in restaurant ventures) net of insurance proceeds received related to the 2002 fire and proceeds from the sale of the 219 residential units.
We are developing a master plan for the remaining parcels at Santana Row which comprise approximately 13.4 acres of land. Our entitlements consist of approximately 120,000 square feet of retail space, 690 residential units and a 191-room hotel. We are evaluating the feasibility of utilizing these entitlements in future development at Santana Row but there is no guaranty that we will ultimately pursue or complete any part of the development of the remaining parcels.
Acquisitions
We anticipate further growth in earnings from acquisitions of neighborhood and community shopping centers in our primary markets in the East and West regions, as well as a reduction in earnings from selective dispositions. Any growth in earnings from acquisitions is contingent, however, on our ability to find properties that meet our qualitative standards at prices that meet our financial hurdles. Changes in interest rates also may affect our success in achieving growth through acquisitions by affecting both the price that must be paid to acquire a property, as well as our ability to economically finance the property acquisitions.
Results of Operations
Same Center
Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a same center basis. Information provided on a same center basis is provided for only those properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared and excludes properties for which significant development, redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods being compared and properties purchased during either of the periods being compared. Same center results further exclude any properties we have sold during or subsequent to the periods being compared.
37
Our same center-basis results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 exclude properties under redevelopment and the following:
| Assembly Square, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2005, |
| Crow Canyon Commons, which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2005, |
| Westgate Mall, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2004, |
| Shaws Plaza which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2004 and sold in the third quarter of 2005, and other dispositions that occurred in 2005 including two buildings in Tempe, Arizona, and two buildings in Winter Park, Florida, |
| dispositions that occurred in 2004 including Magruders Center, Plaza del Mercado and four other buildings located in Connecticut and Illinois, and |
| Santana Row, which is considered under development in both 2005 and 2004. |
Our same center-basis results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, exclude South Valley Shopping Center and Mount Vernon Plaza, which were acquired in the first quarter of 2003, and Mercer Mall, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2003, in addition to the excluded properties listed above.

PROPERTY REVENUES
Total revenues increased $24.9 million, or 6.5%, to $410.3 million in 2005 compared to $385.4 million in 2004. This increase is due primarily to the following:
| growth in minimum rent at same center properties as a result of increased rental rates on new leases and increased occupancy, |
| additional revenue contributed by properties acquired, |
| growth in minimum rent at redevelopment properties and at Santana Row due to increased rental rates on new leases and increased occupancy, and |
| increased cost recoveries from our tenants due primarily to real estate taxes and other costs at our properties. |
The percentage leased at our commercial properties increased to 96.3% at December 31, 2005 compared to 95.1% at December 31, 2004 due primarily to new leases signed at existing properties.
Rental income. Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost recoveries from tenants, and percentage rent. Rental income increased $25.3 million, or 6.8%, to $395.4 million in 2005 compared to $370.1 million in 2004. This increase is due primarily to the following:
| on a same center basis, an increase of $10.4 million, or 3.7%, due mainly to increased rental rates on new leases and increased occupancy, |
| an increase of $8.9 million at redevelopment properties and Santana Row due primarily to increased occupancy, and |
| an increase of $7.7 million attributable to the properties acquired in 2005 and 2004, primarily Westgate Mall and Assembly Square/Sturtevant Street, |
partially offset by
| a decrease of approximately $3.1 million related to income recognized in 2004 attributable to proceeds from the Santana Row fire insurance settlement. |
Other Property Income. Other property income decreased $0.8 million, or 8.1%, to $9.6 million in 2005 compared to $10.4 million in 2004. Included in other property income are items which, although recurring, tend to fluctuate more than rental income from period to period, such as lease termination fees and temporary tenant income. This decrease in other property income in 2004 is primarily the result of lower lease termination fees and lower parking revenue.
Mortgage Interest Income. Interest on mortgage notes receivable increased $0.5 million, or 9.3%, to $5.4 million in 2005 compared to $4.9 million in 2004. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the weighted average effective interest rate on notes outstanding.
PROPERTY EXPENSES
Total property operating expenses decreased $3.1 million, or 2.4%, to $124.7 million in 2005 compared to $127.8 million in 2004. This decrease is due primarily to lower bad debt expense, lower insurance premiums and write-offs of fixed assets and deferred lease costs related to early lease terminations.
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 5.7%, to $85.1 million in 2005 compared to $90.2 million in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to the following:
| a decrease of $4.5 million due to lower bad debt expense and insurance premiums, and |
| a decrease of $2.0 million due to lower write-offs of fixed assets and deferred lease costs related primarily to early lease terminations, |
39
partially offset by
| an increase of $1.6 million in maintenance expense at same center properties due primarily to higher snow removal costs in the East region, and |
| an increase of $1.2 million in expenses attributable to the additional properties acquired during 2005 and 2004. |
As a result of these changes in rental expenses, rental income and other property income, rental expense as a percentage of rental income plus other property income decreased from 23.7% in 2004 to 21.0% in 2005.
Real Estate Taxes. Real estate tax expense increased $2.0 million, or 5.4%, to $39.6 million in 2005 compared to $37.5 million in 2004. This increase in 2005 is due largely to increased taxes of $1.5 million attributable to acquired properties and higher tax assessments for our properties.
PROPERTY OPERATING INCOME
Property operating income increased $28.1 million, or 10.9%, to $285.7 million in 2005 compared to $257.6 million in 2004. Income recognized from fire insurance proceeds attributable to rental income lost at Santana Row due to the August 2002 fire amounted to approximately $3.1 million in 2004 and was insignificant in 2005. Excluding these proceeds, property operating income increased $31.2 million.
This increase is due primarily to the following:
| growth in same center earnings, |
| growth in Santana Row earnings due to higher rental income and lower operating expenses, |
| growth at redevelopment properties where occupancy has increased, and |
| earnings attributable to our 2005 and 2004 acquisitions. |
Same center property operating income increased 4.5%, or $9.3 million, in 2005 over 2004. This increase is primarily due to increased rental income associated with new leases and increased occupancy. When redevelopment and expansion properties are included with same center results, property operating income increased by 6.1% or $14.3 million in 2005 over 2004.
OTHER
Other Interest Income. Other interest income increased $0.7 million to $2.2 million in 2005 compared to $1.5 million in 2004. This increase is due primarily to non-recurring additional interest income from the early pay-off of a $7.5 million note receivable in June 2005.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.5 million, or 4.1%, to $88.6 million in 2005 compared to $85.1 million in 2004. This increase is primarily due to higher outstanding balances on our revolving credit facilities, which we used to finance acquisitions on an interim basis, and higher interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Gross interest costs in 2005 were $94.2 million compared to $90.2 million in 2004. Capitalized interest amounted to $5.7 million and $5.1 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 9.6%, to $19.9 million in 2005 compared to $18.2 million in 2004. This increase resulted primarily from increased payroll and benefits.
40
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.4 million, or 2.7%, to $89.5 million in 2005 compared to $87.1 million in 2004. This increase is primarily due to depreciation and amortization on properties acquired.
Minority Interests. Income to minority partners increased $1.1 million to $5.2 million in 2005 compared to $4.2 million in 2004. This is the result of increased earnings at majority-owned real estate partnerships partially offset by a decrease in the interest held by the minority partners.
(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations. (Loss) income from discontinued operations represents the operating loss or income of properties that have been disposed, which is required to be reported separately from results of ongoing operations. The reported loss of $1.4 million and income of $5.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, represent the operating (loss) income for the period during which we owned the properties sold in 2005 and 2004.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate. The gain on sale of real estate increased $16.7 million to $30.7 million in 2005 compared to $14.1 million in 2004. Each of the properties sold in 2005 and 2004 resulted in a gain.

PROPERTY REVENUES
Total revenues increased $39.6 million, or 11.5%, to $385.4 million in 2004 compared to $345.8 million in 2003. This increase is due primarily to the following:
| additional revenue contributed by properties acquired, |
| additional revenue at Santana Row, which is being phased into service, |
| increase in same center revenues as a result of increased rental rates on new leases and increased occupancy, and |
| increased cost recoveries attributable to higher property operating costs. |
The percentage leased at our shopping centers increased to 95.1% at December 31, 2004 compared to 93.1% at December 31, 2003 due primarily to new leases signed at existing properties.
Rental Income. Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost recoveries from tenants, and percentage rent. Rental income increased $33.5 million, or 10.0%, to $370.1 million in 2004 compared to $336.5 million in 2003 due largely to the following:
| an increase of approximately $31.2 million due to properties acquired in 2004 and 2003 and from Santana Row, |
| on a same center basis, an increase of $7.8 million, or approximately 2.9%, due mainly to increased rental rates on new leases and increased occupancy |
partially offset by
| a decrease of $5.0 million of proceeds from the Santana Row fire insurance settlement. |
Other Property Income. Other property income increased $5.3 million to $10.4 million in 2004 compared to $5.1 million in 2003. Included in other property income are items which, although recurring, tend to fluctuate more than rental income from period to period, such as lease termination fees and temporary tenant income. This increase in other property income in 2004 is primarily the result of higher lease termination fees, parking revenue and income from our restaurant joint ventures.
Mortgage Interest Income. Interest on mortgage notes receivable increased $0.8 million to $4.9 million in 2004 compared to $4.1 million in 2003. This increase is due to higher principal balances on notes outstanding.
PROPERTY EXPENSES
Total property operating expenses increased $13.3 million, or 11.6%, to $127.8 million in 2004, compared to $114.4 million in 2003. This increase is due primarily to increased real estate tax assessments, utility and maintenance costs and other operating costs incurred during 2004 as detailed below.
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses increased $9.4 million, or 11.7%, to $90.2 million in 2004 compared to $80.8 million in 2003. This increase is due primarily to the following:
| increase of $4.1 million attributable to properties acquired in 2003 and 2004, |
| an increase of $2.9 million due primarily to reserves related to mortgage notes receivable, |
| an increase of $0.8 million at development properties due to lower capitalized costs and increased utility expense, and |
| on a same center basis, an increase of $0.5 million, due primarily to increases in utility and other and administrative operating costs. |
42
As a result of these changes in rental expenses, rental income and other property income, rental expense as a percentage of rental income plus other property income increased from 23.6% in 2003 to 23.7% in 2004.
Real Estate Taxes. Real estate tax expense increased $3.9 million, or 11.6%, to $37.5 million in 2004 compared to $33.7 million in 2003. This increase is due primarily to increased taxes of $2.8 million related to acquired and developed properties, including Santana Row, and higher tax assessments for our properties in the East.
PROPERTY OPERATING INCOME
Property operating income increased $26.3 million, or 11.4%, to $257.6 million in 2004 compared to $231.3 million in 2003. Income recognized from fire insurance proceeds attributable to rental income lost at Santana Row due to the August, 2002 fire amounted to approximately $3.0 million and $8.0 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Excluding these proceeds, property operating income increased $31.3 million. This increase is due primarily to the following:
| growth in Santana Row earnings due to additional phases brought into service, |
| earnings attributable to our 2004 and 2003 acquisitions, and |
| growth in same center earnings. |
Same center property operating income increased 3.5%, or approximately $6.8 million, in 2004. This increase is primarily due to increased rental income associated with new leases and higher real estate tax recoveries, partly offset by increased property operating expenses. When redevelopment and expansion properties are included with same center results, property operating income increased by 4.3% in 2004 over 2003.
OTHER
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $9.8 million, or 13.1%, to $85.1 million in 2004 compared to $75.3 million in 2003. This increase is almost entirely due to lower capitalization of interest and therefore higher interest expense, as most of our properties under development, particularly at Santana Row, have been placed into service. Gross interest costs in 2004 were $90.2 million compared to $88.7 million in 2003. Capitalized interest amounted to $5.1 million and $13.5 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased by $6.3 million, or 53.7%, to $18.2 million in 2004 compared to $11.8 million in 2003. This increase resulted primarily from costs of personnel and compliance with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $14.4 million, or 19.8%, to $87.1 million in 2004 from $72.7 million in 2003. This increase is due primarily to depreciation on completed developments, same center property increases and on properties acquired.
Minority Interests. Income to minority partners decreased $0.5 million, or 10.7% to $4.2 million in 2004 from $4.7 million in 2003. This is the result of decreased earnings at majority-owned real estate partnerships, primarily from a lower gain on the sale of real estate, and a decrease in the interest held by minority partners.
Income from Discontinued Operations. Income from discontinued operations represents the operating income of properties that have been disposed, which is required to be reported separately from results of ongoing operations. The reported operating income of $5.2 million and $6.2 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, represent the operating income for the period during which we owned properties sold in 2003 and subsequent years.
43
Gain on Sale of Real Estate. The gain on sale of real estate in 2004 decreased $6.0 million to $14.0 million in 2004 compared to $20.0 million in 2003. All of the properties sold in 2004 and 2003 resulted in gains.
Segment Results
We operate our business on an asset management model, where property management teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. We manage our portfolio as two operating regions: East and West. Property management teams consist of regional directors, leasing agents, development staff and financial personnel, each of whom has responsibility for a distinct portfolio.
The following selected key segment data presented is for 2005, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations of properties that have been subsequently sold are excluded from property operating income data in the following table, in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
Property operating income consists of rental income, other property income and mortgage interest income, less rental expenses and real estate taxes. This measure is used internally to evaluate the performance of our regional operations, and we consider it to be a significant measure.

EAST
The East region extends roughly from New England south through metropolitan Washington, D.C. and further south through Virginia and North Carolina. This region also includes several properties in Illinois and Michigan. As of December 31, 2005, the East segment consisted of 70 properties.
Total revenue in our East region increased $17.1 million, or 5.7%, in 2005 and $18.6 million, or 6.6%, in 2004. These increases are primarily attributable to increased rental rates and occupancy, acquisitions, and higher recoveries in 2005 related to increased snow removal costs. Growth in total revenue attributable to acquisitions was $2.9 million in 2005 and $9.8 million in 2004. The percentage leased was 97%, 96% and 94% at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The ratio of property operating income to total revenue was 71.3%, 69.3% and 69.4% in 2005, 2004 and 2003. The improvement in this ratio in 2005 is due primarily to increased rental rates and occupancy and lower bad debt expense and insurance premiums partially offset by increased real estate taxes.
44
WEST
The West region extends from Texas to the West Coast. As of December 31, 2005, 34 of our properties, including Santana Row, were located in the West region.
Total revenue in our West region increased $7.8 million, or 9.4%, in 2005 and $21.0 million, or 33.6%, in 2004. These increases are primarily attributable to growth in total revenue at Santana Row as additional phases are brought into service and the acquisition of Westgate Mall in the first quarter of 2004. These increases in rental revenue were partially offset by decreases in fire insurance proceeds of $3.1 million and $5.0 million in 2005 and 2004 respectively. The insurance proceeds were included in rental income as they relate largely to lost rents on delayed openings of the residential and retail units and rental concessions to tenants due to the August 2002 fire at Santana Row. The percentage leased was 94%, 93% and 88% at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The ratio of property operating income to total revenue was 63.7%, 57.9% and 55.8% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The improvement in this ratio is due primarily to increased occupancy at Santana Row and decreased operating expenses resulting from leasing, marketing and other start-up activities related to Santana Row.
The overall return on investment in our West region is significantly less than the overall return on investment in our East region. This is due primarily to the following factors:
| the generally lower bases in our East properties, |
| current occupancy rates at Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas are below our portfolio average, and |
| the phasing into service of Santana Row. |
We expect that returns on investment in our West region will continue to rise as these projects come into service, but that they will not necessarily rise to the same level of overall returns that are generated in our East region.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we generally generate significant amounts of cash from operations. The cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our shareholders in the form of dividends. Our status as a REIT requires that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (including net capital gain) each year, as defined in the Code.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of obligations under our capital and operating leases, normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring trust expenditures, non-recurring trust expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Overall capital requirements in 2006 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties and the timing and cost of development of future phases of existing properties.
Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions. We expect to fund these through a combination of sources which we believe will be available to us, including additional and replacement secured and unsecured borrowings, issuance of additional equity, joint venture relationships relating to existing properties or new acquisitions, and property dispositions.
The cash needed to execute our strategy and invest in new properties, as well as to pay our debt at maturity, must come from one or more of the following sources:
| cash provided by operations that is not distributed to shareholders, |
| proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity securities, or |
| proceeds of property dispositions. |
45
It is managements intention that we continually have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop our business. As a result, we intend to operate with and maintain a conservative capital structure that will allow us to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios as part of our commitment to investment-grade debt ratings. We may, from time to time, seek to obtain funds by the following means:
| additional equity offerings, |
| unsecured debt financing and/or mortgage financings, and |
| other debt and equity alternatives, including formation of joint ventures, in a manner consistent with our intention to operate with a conservative debt structure. |
The following factors could affect our ability to meet our liquidity requirements:
| we may be unable to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, as a result of our financial condition or market conditions at the time we seek additional financing; |
| restrictions in our debt instruments or outstanding equity may prohibit us from incurring debt or issuing equity at all, or on acceptable terms under then-prevailing market conditions; and |
| we may be unable to service additional or replacement debt due to increases in interest rates or a decline in our operating performance. |
Cash and cash equivalents were $8.6 million and $30.5 million at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are not a good indicator of our liquidity. We have a $300 million revolving credit facility, which we can utilize to initially finance the acquisition of properties and meet other short-term working capital requirements. This revolving credit facility matures in October 2006 however, we have a one-year extension option.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.3 million to $174.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 from $174.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to:
| $15.9 million higher net income before gain on sale of real estate, depreciation and amortization, and minority interest; |
mostly offset by
| $15.8 million increased use of cash for working capital due mainly to higher prepaid and other asset balances. |
46
Net cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $5.4 million to $152.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 from $157.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to:
| $57.0 million increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate; |
| $13.0 million increased cash from net payoff of mortgage and other note receivables; |
| $9.4 million capital contribution to a real estate partnership in 2004; |
| $4.8 million decrease in acquisitions of real estate; |
partially offset by
| $78.2 million increase in capital expenditures primarily due to an increase in development and redevelopment activities. |
Net cash used in financing activities increased approximately $23.0 million to $44.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 from $21.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to:
| $99.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common shares in a public offering in 2004; |
| $21.7 million increase in dividends paid to shareholders; |
partially offset by
| $45.3 million decrease in net payments on our revolving credit facility; and |
| $49.0 million increase in net proceeds from the issuance of senior debentures. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the joint venture funding commitments described in the next paragraph and items disclosed in the Contractual Commitments Table below, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2005 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
In July 2004, we entered into a joint venture arrangement by forming a limited partnership with affiliates of Clarion Lion Properties Fund (Clarion), a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners. We own 30% of the equity in the partnership, and Clarion owns 70%. The partnership plans to acquire up to $350 million of stabilized, supermarket-anchored, shopping centers in the Trusts East and West regions. Federal Realty and Clarion have committed to contribute to the partnership up to $42 million and $98 million, respectively, of equity capital to acquire properties with a targeted investment date through June 2006. No assurances can be made that we will identify properties that meet the acquisition requirements of the partnership. We are the manager of the partnership and its properties, earning fees for acquisitions, management, leasing, and financing. We also have the opportunity to receive performance-based earnings through our partnership interest. In 2004 the venture acquired four shopping centers in the East for $75.8 million. We account for our interest in the partnership using the equity method. In total, at December 31, 2005, the partnership had $47.2 million of mortgage notes outstanding.

In addition to the amounts set forth in the table above, the following potential commitments exist:
(a) Under the terms of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, from and after January 1, 1986, an unaffiliated third party has the right to require us and the two other minority partners to purchase between one-half to all of its 29.47% interest in Congressional Plaza at the interests then-current fair market value. Based on managements current estimate of fair market value as of December 31, 2005, our estimated maximum liability upon exercise of the put option would range from approximately $40 million to $45 million.
(b) Under the terms of two other partnerships which own properties in southern California with a cost of approximately $29.0 million, if certain leasing and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships, the other partners may require us to purchase their partnership interests at a formula price based upon property operating income. The purchase price for one of the partnerships will be paid in cash and the purchase price for the other partnership will be paid using our common shares or, subject to certain conditions, cash. In those partnerships, if the other partners do not redeem their interests, we may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms.
(c) Street Retail San Antonio LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, entered into a Development Agreement (the Agreement) in 2000 with the City of San Antonio, Texas (the City) related to the redevelopment of land and buildings that we own along Houston Street. Under the Agreement, we are required to issue an annual letter of credit, commencing on October 1, 2002 and ending on September 30, 2014, that covers our designated portion of the debt service should the incremental tax revenue generated in the Zone not cover the debt service. We posted a letter of credit with the City on September 25, 2002 for $0.8 million, and the letter of credit remains outstanding. We estimate our total obligation under the Agreement to be in the range of $1.6 million to $3.0 million. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we funded approximately $0.3 million, $ 0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In anticipation of further shortfalls of incremental tax revenues to the City, we have accrued approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2005 to cover additional payments we may be obligated to make as part of the project costs. Prior to the expiration of the Agreement on September 30, 2014, we could be required to provide funding beyond the $0.4 million currently accrued. However, we do not anticipate that our obligation would exceed $0.6 million in any year or $3 million in total. If the Zone creates sufficient tax increment funding to repay the Citys debt prior to the expiration of the Agreement, we will be eligible to receive reimbursement of amounts paid for debt service shortfalls together with interest thereon.
(d) Under the terms of various other partnership agreements for entities, the partners have the right to exchange their operating units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. As of December 31, 2005, a total of 420,426 operating units are outstanding.
(e) In addition to our contractual obligations, we have other short-term liquidity requirements consisting primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including
48
debt service relating to additional and replacement debt), recurring corporate expenditures including compensation agreements, non-recurring corporate expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common and preferred shareholders. In addition, future rental commitments are not reflected as commitments until the underlying leased space has been delivered for use. Overall capital requirements will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties and the timing and cost of future phases of Santana Row and Assembly Square.
(f) We are the guarantor for the non-recourse carve outs under mortgage notes totaling $36.7 million that are secured by three properties owned by subsidiaries of our unconsolidated joint venture with affiliates of Clarion Lion Properties Fund, a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners. We are not guaranteeing the debt itself. The joint venture indemnifies us for any loss we incur under these guarantees.
(g) Upon completion on or around June 1, 2006, we expect to take possession of approximately 37,000 square feet of retail space under a capital lease. The term of the capital lease is 99 years from the date of possession and requires annual cash payments of approximately $374,000 and will be adjusted every 20 years based on the Consumer Price Index and other factors.

1) | Mortgage loans do not include our 30% share ($14.2 million) of the $47.2 million debt of the partnership with Clarion Lion Properties Fund. |
2) | The interest rate is fixed at 5.66% for the first ten years and then will be reset to a market rate. The lender has the option to call the loan on April 15, 2013 or any time thereafter. |
3) | The revolving credit facility offers a one-year extension option. The maximum amount drawn under the facility during 2005 was $159.7 million. The weighted average effective interest rate, including the amortization of deferred financing fees, on borrowings under the facility was 3.69% for the year ended December 31, 2005. |
4) | This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 95 basis points. In January 2004, we purchased interest rate swaps or hedges on this note, which fixed the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 2.401% through October 2006, resulting in an effective interest rate, assuming no change to our debt rating, of 3.351% through October 2006. |
5) | The bonds require monthly interest only payments through maturity. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly, which would enable the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their principal amount. The weighted average effective interest rate, including the amortization of deferred financing fees, was 3.77% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The property is not encumbered by a lien. |
6) | We purchased interest rate swaps at issuance (in 1998), thereby reducing the effective interest rate from 6.99% to 6.894%. |
7) | We purchased an interest rate lock to hedge a planned note offering. A hedge loss of $1.5 million associated with this hedge is being amortized into the note offering, thereby increasing the effective interest rate on these notes to 6.325%. |
8) | Beginning on August 15, 2008, the debentures are redeemable by the holders thereof at the original purchase price of $1,000 per debenture. |
9) | Beginning on August 1, 2007, the notes are redeemable by the holders thereof at the original purchase price of $1,000 per note. |
Our credit facility and other debt agreements include financial and other covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants. If we were to breach any of our debt covenants and did not cure the breach within any applicable cure period, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately, and, if the debt is secured, could immediately begin proceedings to take possession of the property securing the loan. Many of our debt arrangements, including our public notes and our credit facility, are cross-defaulted, which means that the lenders under those debt arrangements can put us in default and require immediate repayment of their debt if we breach and fail to cure a covenant under certain of our other debt obligations. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations and the market value of our shares.

1) | Includes $55.5 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. |
2) | Includes $12.6 million under the Mount Vernon mortgage loan that may be required to be paid on or after April 15, 2013 and $90 million of unsecured debt that may be called by the holders beginning August 1, 2007 as to $40 million thereof and beginning August 15, 2008 as to $50 million thereof. |
3) | The total scheduled principal installments and amounts due at maturity differs from the total of debt and capital lease obligations reported in the Trusts consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 due to the unamortized discount recorded for GAAP purposes on certain senior notes and debentures. |
Interest Rate Hedging
We enter into interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We do not purchase derivatives for speculation. Our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair value of our cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Hedge ineffectiveness did not have a significant impact on earnings in 2005, 2004 and 2003, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.
In January 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of our $150 million term loan issued in October of 2003. This swap fixed the LIBOR portion at 2.401% through October 2006. The current interest rate on this term loan, taking into account this swap, is 3.351% (2.401% plus 95 basis points) and will remain at this rate through October 2006 assuming no change in our debt rating.
In August 2002, in anticipation of a $150 million senior unsecured note offering, we entered into a treasury lock that fixed the five year treasury rate at 3.472% through August 19, 2002. On August 16, 2002, we priced the senior unsecured notes with a scheduled closing date of August 21, 2002 and closed on the associated rate lock. Five-year treasury rates declined between the pricing period and the settlement of the rate lock and therefore, we paid $1.5 million to settle the rate lock. As a result of the August 19, 2002 fire at Santana Row, we did not proceed with the note offering at that time. However, we consummated a $150 million, 6.125% Senior Unsecured Note offering on November 2002, and thus, the hedge loss is being amortized into interest expense over the life of these notes.
We also purchased an interest rate swap that terminates March 2006, with a notional amount of $40.5 million upon issuance of our 6.99% Medium Term Notes, which reduced the effective interest rate from 6.99% to 6.894%.
51
REIT Qualification
We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on income we distribute to our shareholders as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (including net capital gain) to our shareholders.
Funds From Operations
Funds from operations (FFO) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as follows: net income, computed in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and excluding extraordinary items and gains on the sale of real estate. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and we have historically reported our FFO available for common shareholders in addition to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities. It should be noted that FFO:
| does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); |
| should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance; and |
| is not necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. |
We consider FFO available for common shareholders a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation. We use FFO primarily as one of several means of assessing our operating performance in comparison with other REITs. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
An increase or decrease in FFO available for common shareholders does not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in aggregate distributions because our Board of Trustees is not required to increase distributions on a quarterly basis unless necessary for us to maintain REIT status. However, we must distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain) to remain qualified as a REIT. Therefore, a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis.
The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations available for common shareholders is as follows:

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments, subjects us to market risk which may affect our future earnings and cash flows, as well as the fair value of our assets. Market risk generally refers to the risk of loss from changes in interest rates and market prices. We manage our market risk by attempting to match anticipated inflow of cash from our operating, investing and financing activities with anticipated outflow of cash to fund debt payments, dividends to common and preferred shareholders, investments, capital expenditures and other cash requirements.
We also enter into certain types of derivative financial instruments to further reduce interest rate risk. We use interest rate protection and swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivatives for hedging purposes rather than speculation and do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter party to our interest rate swap used to fix the LIBOR portion of our $150 million term loan. The counterparty of this swap has a long-term debt rating of A by Standard and Poors Rating Service and A1 by Moodys Investor Service as of December 31, 2005.
Interest Rate Risk
The following discusses the effect of hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and on the fair value of our total outstanding debt, including our fixed-rate debt. Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. This analysis does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt
The majority of our outstanding debt obligations (maturing at various times through 2028 or through 2077 including capital lease obligations) have fixed interest rates which limit the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments, however. At December 31, 2005 we had $1.2 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding. If interest rates on our fixed-rate debt instruments at December 31, 2005 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $45.2 million. If interest rates on our fixed-rate debt instruments at December 31, 2005 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $52.0 million.
Variable Interest Rate Debt
We believe that our primary interest rate risk is due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. At December 31, 2005, we had $164.9 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based upon this amount of variable rate debt, if interest rates increased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $1.6 million, and our net income and cash flows for the year would decrease by approximately $1.6 million. Conversely, if interest rates decreased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would decrease by approximately $1.6 million, and our net income and cash flows for the year would increase by approximately $1.6 million.

Quarterly Assessment
We carried out an assessment as of December 31, 2005 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Rules adopted by the SEC require that we present the conclusions of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and the conclusions of our management about the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer Certifications
Included as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forms of Certification of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer. The forms of Certification are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that you currently are reading is the information concerning the assessment referred to in the Section 302 certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports, such as this report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These controls and procedures are based closely on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Rules adopted by the SEC require that we present the conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and effected by our employees, including management and our Board of Trustees, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets in reasonable detail; |
54
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization procedures we have established; and |
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of any of our assets in circumstances that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating our control system, management recognized that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, that may affect our operation have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by managements override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions that cannot be anticipated at the present time, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Evaluations
The evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting included a review of procedures and our internal audit, as well as discussions with our Disclosure Committee, independent public accountants and others in our organization, as appropriate. In conducting this evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is done on a quarterly basis, so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of such controls can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
Our internal control over financial reporting is also assessed on an ongoing basis by personnel in our Accounting department and by our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review activities. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will be maintained and updated (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information is important both for the evaluation generally and because the Section 302 certifications require that our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer disclose that information to the Audit Committee of our Board of Trustees and our
55
independent auditors and also require us to report on related matters in this section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards Auditing Standard No. 2, a significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is defined in Auditing Standard No. 2 as a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. We also sought to deal with other control matters in the evaluation, and in any case in which a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction was necessary to be made in accordance with our on-going procedures.
Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of our most recent fiscal year.

Management Assessment Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Federal Realty is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and effected by our employees, including management and our Board of Trustees, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets in reasonable detail; |
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization procedures we have established; and |
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of any of our assets in circumstances that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. |
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating our control system, management recognized that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, that may affect our operation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by managements override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria, as of the end of our most recent fiscal year.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page F-2.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Trustees and shareholders of Federal Realty Investment Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Federal Realty Investment Trust (a Maryland real estate investment trust) and subsidiaries (the Trust) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, common shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. We have also audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Management Assessment Report on Internal Controls, that the Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Trusts management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on managements assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, managements assessment that the Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, the Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedules III and IV are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Federal Realty Investment Trust
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and Organization. Federal Realty Investment Trust (the Trust) is an equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategic metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, as well as in California.
We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a real estate investment trust or REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.
We have elected to treat certain of our subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. In general, a TRS may engage in any real estate business and certain non-real estate businesses, subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The sales of condominiums at Santana Row beginning in August 2005 are being conducted through a TRS. As a result of these condominium sales, our TRS incurred approximately $3.5 million of income taxes in 2005. Prior to 2005, our TRS activities were limited and they did not incur any significant income taxes.
Principles of Consolidation and Estimates. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and numerous partnerships and limited liability companies, which we control. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as minority interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control or manage, using the equity method of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using managements best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. Our leases with tenants are classified as operating leases. Substantially all such leases contain fixed escalations which occur at specified times during the term of the lease. Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis from when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease, net of valuation adjustments, based on managements assessment of credit, collection and other business risk. Percentage rents, which represent additional rents based upon the level of sales achieved by certain tenants, are recognized at the end of the lease year or earlier if we have determined the required sales level is achieved and the percentage rents are collectible. Real estate tax and other cost reimbursements are recognized on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related expenditures are incurred. We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to minimum rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. In some cases, primarily relating to straight-line rents, the collection of these amounts extends beyond one year. The extended collection period for straight-line rents along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of a portion of straight-line rental income until the collection of such income is reasonably assured. At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 our allowance for doubtful accounts was $6.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
Real Estate. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range generally from 35 years to a maximum of 50 years on
F-9
buildings and major improvements. Minor improvements, furniture and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are charged to operations as incurred. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the related lease or their estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. If a tenant vacates its space prior to contractual termination of its lease, the undepreciated balance of any tenant improvements are written off if they are replaced.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, sales are recognized at closing only when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and we have no significant continuing involvement. The application of SFAS No. 66 can be complex and requires us to make assumptions. We believe the criteria of SFAS No. 66 was met for all real estate sold during 2005, 2004 and 2003 and accordingly, the full gain related to these sales was recognized at the time of sale.
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, our methodology of allocating the cost of acquisitions to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on estimated fair values, replacement cost and appraised values. When we acquire operating real estate properties, the purchase price is allocated to land and buildings, intangibles such as in-place leases and to current assets and liabilities acquired, if any. The value allocated to in-place leases is amortized over the related lease term and reflected as rental income in the statement of operations. If a tenant vacates its space prior to contractual termination of its lease, the unamortized balance of any in-place lease value is written off to rental income. Values assigned to above market leases are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and were $6.0 million and $2.5 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Values assigned to below market leases are included in other liabilities and deferred credits and were $34.9 million and $19.9 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We are the lessee of certain land and buildings. We classify our leases of land and building as operating or capital leases in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
In accordance with SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, we capitalize certain costs related to the development and redevelopment of real estate including pre-construction costs, real estate taxes, insurance, construction costs and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved. Additionally, in accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Costs, we capitalize interest costs related to development and redevelopment activities. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence and cease when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use at which time the project is placed-in service and depreciation commences.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we review for impairment on a property by property basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. SFAS No. 144 also requires the sale or disposal of a component of an entity to be treated as discontinued operations. The properties sold by us typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. We define cash as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and short term liquid investments with an initial maturity under three months. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed insurable amounts.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of lease costs and prepaid property taxes. Capitalized lease costs are direct costs incurred which were essential to originate a lease and would not have been incurred had the leasing transaction not taken place and include third party commissions and salaries and related costs of personnel directly related to time spent obtaining a lease. Capitalized lease costs are amortized over the life of the related lease. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of its leases, the unamortized balance of any lease costs are written off. Other assets also
F-10
include the premiums paid for split dollar life insurance covering several officers and former officers which were approximately $4.5 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs. Costs related to the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and are amortized as interest expense over the estimated life of the related issue using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.
Derivative Instruments. We enter into interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We do not purchase derivatives for speculation. Our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair value of our cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Hedge ineffectiveness did not have a significant impact on earnings in 2005, 2004 and 2003, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.
In January 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the LIBOR portion of our $150 million term loan issued in October of 2003. This swap fixed the LIBOR portion at 2.401% through October 2006. The current interest rate on this term loan, taking into account this swap, is 3.351% (2.401% plus 95 basis points) and will remain at this rate through October 2006 assuming no change in our debt rating. The amount in other comprehensive income related to this swap is $2.7 million at December 31, 2005. The full balance of this swap will be reclassified into interest expense prior to its termination in October 2006. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to this swap. The counterparty of this swap has a long-term debt rating of A by Standard and Poors Rating Service and A1 by Moodys Investor Service as of December 31, 2005.
In August 2002, in anticipation of a $150 million senior unsecured note offering, we entered into a treasury lock that fixed the five year treasury rate at 3.472% through August 19, 2002. On August 16, 2002, we priced the senior unsecured notes with a scheduled closing date of August 21, 2002 and closed on the associated rate lock. Five-year treasury rates declined between the pricing period and the settlement if the rate lock and therefore, we paid $1.5 million to settle the rate lock. As a result of the August 19, 2002 fire at Santana Row, we did not proceed with the note offering at that time. However, we consummated a $150 million, 6.125% Senior Unsecured Note offering on November 2002, and thus, the hedge loss is being amortized into interest expense over the life of these notes.
We also purchased an interest rate swap that terminates March 2006, with a notional amount of $40.5 million upon issuance of our 6.99% Medium Term Notes, which reduced the effective interest rate from 6.99% to 6.894%.
Acquisition, Development and Construction Loan Arrangements. We have made certain mortgage loans that, because of their nature, qualify as loan receivables. At the time the loans were made, we did not intend for the arrangement to be anything other than a financing and did not contemplate a real estate investment. Using guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners issued by the AICPA in February 1986 entitled ADC Arrangements (the Third Notice), we evaluate each investment to determine whether the loan arrangement qualifies under the Third Notice as a loan, joint venture or real estate investment and the appropriate accounting thereon. Such determination affects our balance sheet classification of these investments and the recognition of interest income derived therefrom. Generally, we receive additional interest on these loans, however we never receive in excess of 50% of the residual profit in the project (as defined in the Third Notice) and because the borrower has either a substantial investment in the project or has guaranteed all or a portion of our loan (or a combination thereof) the loans qualify for loan accounting. The amounts under ADC arrangements are presented as mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
F-11
Earnings Per Share. We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares and then shared in our earnings. In 2005 and 2004, operating partnership units were excluded from diluted EPS as the conversion of these units would have resulted in an anti-dilutive effect.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS:

Stock-Based Compensation. We account for our stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, requires us to disclose the effects on net income and EPS if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation to our stock-based compensation arrangements. The effect on net income and EPS if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to our stock-based compensation arrangements is as follows:

Redemption of Preferred Stock and Reclassifications. On June 13, 2003, we redeemed our $100 million 7.95% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at their face value. The original issuance costs of $3.4 million were charged to shareholders equity in 1997, when the shares were issued. On July 31, 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force provided clarification on the treatment of the difference between the redemption value and the carrying value, adjusting for issuance costs, for GAAP financial reporting. As a result of this change in accounting presentation, our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 reflects a charge of $3.4 million in Preferred stock redemption costs as a reduction of net income in computing net income available for common shareholders. Certain other 2004 and 2003 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation. These other reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders equity.
Variable Interest Entities. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) (FIN 46-R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46-R clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (variable interest entities). Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46-R are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. We have evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to our investments in certain restaurant joint ventures and our real estate partnership with affiliates of Clarion Lion Properties Fund and determined that these joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a variable interest entity and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. We
F-13
have also evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to our mortgage loans receivable and determined that they are not variable interest entities.
Our investment balance in these restaurant joint ventures was approximately $6.8 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our equity in earnings from these restaurant joint ventures was $1.3 million, $1.1 million and $0.2 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our investment balances and earnings from mortgage notes receivable and our real estate partnership are presented in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.
On December 29, 2005, we entered into a Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary related to the acquisition of Crow Canyon Commons. The exchange agreement is for maximum of 180 days and allows us to defer gains on sale on other properties sold within this period. Until the earlier of termination of this exchange agreement or June 27, 2006, the third party intermediary is the legal owner of the property, although we control the property and retain all of the economic benefits and risks associated with the property. We have determined that this property is held in a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, we consolidate the property and its operations.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R is similar to the fair-value approach permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensations. However, 123R requires all share-based awards to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosures, which we have previously provided as permitted by 123, are no longer an alternative.
Effective January 1, 2006, we will adopt 123R using the modified prospective approach. The modified prospective approach requires the recognition of compensation cost for share-based awards based on the grant-date fair value from the beginning for the fiscal period in which the provisions of 123R are first applied. Measurement and recognition of compensation costs for share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the date 123R is adopted are based on the same method used previously under SFAS 123. Share-based awards granted, modified, or settled after 123R is adopted, will be measured and recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of 123R.
We have used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of options under 123 and intend to continue to utilize this model to compute the fair value of options under 123R. Upon the adoption of 123R, we expect to recognize a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle which will increase net income by approximately $2 million. This cumulative effect is related to certain performance shares issued to certain officers and employees in 2002 and 2003 that were required to be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date under APB No. 25, because the ultimate number of these shares that will vest is dependent on the achievement of certain performance targets. Under 123R, these performance awards are accounted for based on their grant-date fair value and are not adjusted to fair value at each reporting date.
While there are certain differences between 123 and 123R, we believe that our pro forma disclosures under 123 approximate the effect of 123R. Other than the cumulative effect of adoption discussed above, we do not believe that the adoption of 123R will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The minimum payments under certain capital leases are revised every ten years when the owner refinances its debt related to these properties. In December 2005, our minimum payments were reduced in connection with the owners refinancing. As a result of the reduction in our minimum payments, we decreased both the related capital lease obligations and the carrying amounts of the related buildings by $9.0 million.
Certain of our capital lease obligations require payments based on the performance of the related properties in addition to the minimum payment amounts set forth above. The additional performance based payments were $4.6 million, $3.9 million and $3.5 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Our 103 retail properties at December 31, 2005 are located in 12 states and the District of Columbia. There are approximately 2,200 tenants providing a wide range of retail products and services. These tenants range from sole proprietorships to national retailers; no one tenant or corporate group of tenants accounts for more than 2.5% of annualized base rent.
Our leases with commercial property and residential tenants are classified as operating leases. Leases on apartments are generally for a period of one year or less. Commercial property leases generally range from three to ten years (certain leases with anchor tenants may be longer), and in addition to minimum rents, usually provide for percentage rents based on the tenants level of sales achieved and cost recoveries for the tenants share of certain operating costs.
Minimum future commercial property rentals on noncancelable operating leases, before any reserve for uncollectible amounts, on operating properties as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

NOTE 3. MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had mortgage notes receivable with an aggregate carrying amount of $40.5 million and $42.9 million, respectively, which is net of an allowance for collectibility of $4.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively. These mortgage notes are due over various terms from May 2011 to May 2021. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, our mortgages had a weighted average interest rate of 11.90% and 11.25%, respectively. Under the terms of certain of these mortgages, we receive additional interest based upon the gross income of the secured properties and, upon sale of the properties, we will share in the appreciation of the properties. One mortgage note can accrue up to an additional $2.2 million of unpaid interest under the mortgage.
We made a $5.9 million loan secured by a building in San Francisco, California in January 2001 that was originally due February 28, 2003 but was not repaid on the due date. The loan was renegotiated with an interest rate of 6.0% and repaid in full on August 23, 2005.
NOTE 4. REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP
In July 2004, we entered into a joint venture arrangement (the Partnership) by forming a limited partnership with affiliates of Clarion Lion Properties Fund (Clarion), a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners. We own 30% of the equity in the Partnership, and Clarion owns 70%. The Partnership plans to acquire up to $350 million of stabilized, supermarket-anchored shopping centers in the Trusts East and West regions. Federal Realty and Clarion have committed to contribute to the Partnership up to $42 million and $98 million, respectively, of equity capital to acquire properties with a targeted investment date through June 2006. No assurances can be made that we will identify properties that meet the acquisition requirements of the Partnership. We are the manager of the Partnership and its properties, earning fees for acquisitions, management, leasing, and financing. We also have the opportunity to receive performance-based earnings through our Partnership interest. In 2004, the Partnership acquired four shopping centers in the East for $75.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, we have made total contributions of $9.4 million and received total distributions of $0.8 million. We account for our interest in the Partnership using the equity method.

We are not guaranteeing repayment of the debt itself. The Partnership indemnifies us for any loss we incur under these guarantees.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable, and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis are generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable, using current interest rates for similar mortgages and notes. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

We have a $550 million unsecured credit facility consisting of a $150 million five-year term loan, a $100 million three-year term loan, and a $300 million three-year revolving credit facility, with a one-year extension option. The term loans currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 95 basis points, while the revolving facility currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. The spread over LIBOR is subject to adjustment based on our credit rating.
In January 2004, to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the $150 million five-year term loan, we entered into an interest rate swap, which fixed the LIBOR portion of the interest rate on the term loan at 2.401% through October 2006. The current interest rate, taking into account the swap, is 3.351% (2.401% plus 95 basis points) on a notional amount of $150 million. This swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge as discussed in Note 1.
The maximum amount drawn under our revolving credit facilities during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $159.7 million, $165.0 million and $215.0 million, respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 3.7%, 2.2% and 3.4%, respectively, and the average amount outstanding was $105.1 million, $74.4 million and $96.9 million, respectively. The facility requires us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. At December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.

These loan agreements contain various covenants, including limitations on the amount of debt and minimum debt service coverage ratios. At December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants. No principal is due on these notes prior to maturity.
In October 2002, we filed a $500 million shelf registration statement, declared effective on November 6, 2002, with the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows the issuance of debt securities, preferred shares and common shares. As of December 31, 2005, $100 million was available under our shelf registration.
On January 26, 2004, we issued $75 million of fixed rate notes, which mature in February 2011 and bear interest at 4.50%. The proceeds of this note offering were used to pay down our revolving credit facility by $50 million and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes.
We paid off our 6.74% Medium Term Notes on their due date of March 10, 2004 for their full principal balance of $39.5 million plus accrued interest of $1.2 million.
We paid off our 6.625% Notes on their due dates of December 1, 2005 for their full principal balance of $40.0 million plus accrued interest of $1.3 million.
On December 2, 2005 we issued $125 million of fixed rate notes which mature in June 2016 and bear interest at 5.65%. The proceeds of this note offering were used to pay down our revolving credit facility, including amounts drawn to pay off our 6.625% Notes due December 2005.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Currently, we have two matters expected to go to trial in 2006. Based on the facts of these matters and advice from our legal counsel, we believe that we will prevail in both matters. If, however, we are unsuccessful in our defense of either of these matters, there is a possibility that there will be a material adverse impact on our net income in the period in which we would pay the damages awarded in any adverse judgment. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.
We reserve for estimated losses, if any, associated with warranties given to a buyer at the time real estate is sold or other potential liabilities relating to that sale, taking any insurance policies into account. These warranties may extend up to ten years and require significant judgment. Any increases to our estimated warranty losses would usually result in a decrease in net income.
We are self-insured for general liability costs up to predetermined retained amounts per claim, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. We currently do not maintain third party stop-loss insurance policies to cover liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. Our accrual for self-insurance liability is determined by management and is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Management considers a number of factors, including third-party actuary valuations and future increases in costs of claims, when making these determinations. If our liability costs exceed these accruals, it will reduce our net income.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, our reserves for warranties and general liability costs were $6.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Any potential losses which exceed our estimates would result in a decrease in our net income. During 2005 and 2004, we did not make any payments related to warranty claims.
F-23
We are committed to invest approximately $13.3 million in restaurant joint ventures at Santana Row, of which $10.8 million has been invested as of December 31, 2005.
Under the terms of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, from and after January 1, 1986, an unaffiliated third party has the right to require us and the two other minority partners to purchase between one-half to all of its 29.47% interest in Congressional Plaza at the interests then-current fair market value. Based on managements current estimate of fair market value as of December 31, 2005, our estimated maximum liability upon exercise of the put option would range from approximately $40 million to $45 million. In conjunction with the construction of the apartments at the property that were completed in 2003, 8.03% of the third partys interest in Congressional Plaza was re-allocated to us, effective January 1, 2004, thereby lowering the third partys ownership percentage from 37.50% to its current level of 29.47%, as a result of our having funded approximately $7 million of the third partys share of the redevelopment cost.
Under the terms of various other partnership agreements for entities, the partners have the right to exchange their operating units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. As of December 31, 2005, a total of 420,426 operating units are outstanding.
Street Retail San Antonio LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, entered into a Development Agreement (the Agreement) in 2000 with the City of San Antonio, Texas (the City) related to the redevelopment of land and buildings that we own along Houston Street. Under the Agreement, we are required to issue an annual letter of credit, commencing on October 1, 2002 and ending on September 30, 2014, that covers our designated portion of the debt service should the incremental tax revenue generated in the Zone not cover the debt service. We posted a letter of credit with the City on September 25, 2002 for $0.8 million, and the letter of credit remains outstanding. We estimate our total obligation under the Agreement to be in the range of $1.6 million to $3.0 million. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we funded approximately $0.3 million, $ 0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In anticipation of further shortfalls of incremental tax revenues to the City, we have accrued approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2005 to cover additional payments we may be obligated to make as part of the project costs. Prior to the expiration of the Agreement on September 30, 2014, we could be required to provide funding beyond the $0.4 million currently accrued. However, we do not anticipate that our obligation would exceed $0.6 million in any year or $3 million in total. If the Zone creates sufficient tax increment funding to repay the Citys debt prior to the expiration of the Agreement, we will be eligible to receive reimbursement of amounts paid for debt service shortfalls together with interest thereon.
We have three leases in which the lessor has a put option, which would require us to purchase the properties during the remaining lease term. If the lessor were to exercise this option in 2006, the purchase price would be approximately $63 million.
A master lease for Mercer Mall includes a fixed purchase price option for $55 million in 2023. If we fail to exercise our purchase option, the owner of Mercer Mall has a put option which would require us to purchase Mercer Mall for $60 million in 2025.
Upon completion of construction on or around June 1, 2006, we expect to take possession of certain retail space under a capital lease. The term of the capital lease is 99 years from the date of possession and requires annual cash payments of approximately $374,000 and will be adjusted every 20 years based on the Consumer Price Index and other factors.
Upon completion of construction, we are committed to purchase certain retail space for $6.3 million. Construction of this retail space is expected to be completed in 2006.
As of December 31, 2005 in connection with renovation and development projects, the Trust has contractual obligations of approximately $49.8 million.

NOTE 10. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
In November 2001, we issued 5.4 million 8.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the Preferred Shares) at $25 per share in a public offering. The Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to November 27, 2006. On or after that date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October.
On May 14, 2003, we issued 3.2 million common shares at $30.457 per share ($31.48 gross, before an aggregate 3.25% underwriters discount and selling concession) netting $98.4 million in cash proceeds, after all expenses of the offering.
On April 7, 2004, we issued 2.2 million common shares at a net price of $45.33 per share (after taking into account underwriters discount and commissions) netting approximately $99 million in cash proceeds before other expenses of the offering. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility that were drawn to acquire Westgate Mall and for general corporate purposes.
We have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase shares. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, 62,579 shares, 82,391 shares and 109,835 shares, respectively, were issued under the Plan.
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, 78,591 common shares, 84,617 common shares and 138,568 common shares, respectively, were awarded to key employees, under various incentive compensation programs designed to directly link a significant portion of their current and long term compensation to the prosperity of the Trust and its shareholders. The shares vest over terms from 3 to 5 years. We recorded compensation expense of $3.9 million, $3.5 million and $1.3 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, under our long term incentive plans. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock awarded in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $51.35, $42.94 and $28.01, respectively.
In February 2002 and 2003, we granted performance awards of 30,000 and 120,000 shares, respectively, to certain officers and employees of the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of these awards, 20% of the performance shares will vest for any calendar year in which we exceed certain performance targets for the same period. Any performance awards, which remain unvested after 2011 and 2012, respectively, will be forfeited.
In 2004 and 2003, tax loans were made in connection with restricted share grants to certain of our officers and in connection with the Share Purchase Plans. The balance of these loans was $300,000 at December 31, 2004. These loans were paid in full in May, 2005.

On February 16, 2006, common shares and options were awarded under various incentive compensation plans as follows:
Award |

75,607 Restricted shares |
Ranging from immediate to 5 years | Officers and key employees | ||
312,813 Options |
Ranging from 3 to 5 years | Officers and key employees | ||
2,727 Shares |
Immediate | Trustees |
All of the restricted share awards granted on February 16, 2006, were made under our 2001 Plan.
NOTE 11. STOCK OPTION PLAN
Our 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 1993 Plan) authorized the grant of options and other stock based awards for up to 5.5 million shares. Options granted under the 1993 Plan have ten year terms and vest in one to five years. The 1993 Plan expired in May 2003.
In May 2001 our shareholders approved our 2001 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan) which authorized an additional 1,750,000 shares for future option and other stock based awards.
The option price to acquire shares under the 2001 Plan and previous plans is required to be at least the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result of the exercise of options, we had outstanding from our officers and employees notes for $1.8 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004. These notes bear interest at LIBOR plus a market-rate spread with the rate adjusted annually. These notes are collateralized by the shares with recourse to the borrower and have five-year terms. Option awards made in 2001 and later do not provide for employees to be able to exercise their options with a loan from the Trust.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if we accounted for our stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The estimated fair value for options issued in 2005, 2004 and 2003 is $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $582,000, respectively, as of the date of grant, using a Black Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.1%, 4.5% and 3.2%; volatility factors of the expected market price of our shares of 18%, 20% and 16%; weighted average expected life of the option of 5.0 years, 5.3 years and 6.0 years; and weighted average dividend yields of 3.78%, 4.62% and 8.85%.
Because option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, such as the expected stock price volatility, and because changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing model may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

NOTE 12. SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS
We have a savings and retirement plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. For employees who choose to contribute, their contributions can range, at their discretion, from 1% to 20% of compensation up to a maximum of $14,000, $13,000 and $12,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Under the plan, we contribute 50% of each employees first 5% of contributions. In addition, we may make discretionary contributions within the limits of deductibility set forth by the Code. Our employees are immediately eligible to become plan participants. Effective as of January 1, 2005 employees are eligible to receive matching contributions immediately on their participation, however, these matching payments will not vest until their first anniversary of employment. Our expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $333,000, $252,000 and $237,000, respectively.
A non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our officers and certain other employees was established in 1994. The plan allows the participants to defer future income until the earlier of age 65 or termination of employment. As of December 31, 2005, we are liable to participants for approximately $4.5 million under this
F-27
plan. Although this is an unfunded plan, we have purchased certain investments to match this obligation. Our obligation under this plan and the related investments are both included in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 13. INTEREST EXPENSE
We incurred interest totaling $94.2 million, $90.2 million and $88.7 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which $5.7 million, $5.1 million, and $13.5 million respectively, was capitalized. Interest paid was $90.0 million, $85.7 million and $85.7 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 20, 2006, we acquired 4900 Hampden Lane, a fully leased 35,000 square feet retail building for $12.0 million in cash. This property is located in Bethesda, Maryland adjacent to our Bethesda Row property.
On January 27, 2006, we acquired Golds Gym Plaza, a fully leased 60,000 square feet retail building for $10.0 million. This property is located in Alexandria, Virginia adjacent to our Mount Vernon and South Valley properties.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate our portfolio of properties in two geographic operating regions: East and West, which constitute our segments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Based on changes in our property management structure in 2004, we determined that our portfolio should be divided into two operating regions (East and West), rather than three (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West) as previously reported.

Section 1. PLACE. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Trust or at such other place within the United States as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting.
Section 2. ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of Trustees and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Trust shall be held during the month of May of each year, after the delivery of the annual report referred to in Section 12 of this Article II, at a convenient location and on proper notice, on a date and at the time set by the Trustees, beginning with the year 1999. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Trusts existence or affect any otherwise valid acts of the Trust.
Section 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or one-third of the Trustees may call special meetings of the shareholders. Special meetings of shareholders shall also be called by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a twenty-five percent of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Such request shall state the purpose of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting. The Secretary shall inform such shareholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing notice of the meeting and, upon payment by such shareholders to the Trust of such costs, the Secretary shall give notice to each shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless requested by shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any meeting of the shareholders held during the preceding twelve months.
Section 4. NOTICE. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each meeting of shareholders, the Secretary shall give to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each shareholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail or by presenting it to such shareholder personally or by leaving it at his residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his post office address as it appears on the records of the Trust, with postage thereon prepaid.

Section 5. SCOPE OF NOTICE. Any business of the Trust may be transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of shareholders except as specifically designated in the notice.
Section 6. ORGANIZATION. The Chairman of the Board shall preside over every meeting of the shareholders. If there is no Chairman or the Chairman is not present at any meeting of the shareholders, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside. In the case of a vacancy in office or an absence of both the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, one of the following officers present shall conduct the meeting in the order stated: the President, the Vice Presidents (as defined in Article V, Section 8) in their order of rank and seniority, or a Chairman chosen by the shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all shareholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast, shall act as Chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of both the Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, a person appointed by the Chief Executive Officer, shall act as Secretary of the meeting.
Section 7. QUORUM. At any meeting of shareholders, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the Declaration of Trust for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. The shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
Section 8. VOTING. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a Trustee at any meeting where the number of nominees exceeds the number of Trustees to be elected. A majority of all the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a Trustee at any meeting where the number of nominees is the same as the number of Trustees to be elected. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted for a Trustee must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to that Trustee. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are Trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required herein or by statute or by the Declaration of Trust. Unless otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.
Section 9. PROXIES. A shareholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares owned of record by him either in person or by proxy executed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized agent in any manner allowed by law. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Trust before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Section 10. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares of the Trust registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a general partner, a manager, a managing member or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing board of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of the partnership or agreement of the members of the limited liability company presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote shares registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.
Page 2
Shares of the Trust directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
The Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder may certify in writing to the Trust that any shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of shareholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the share transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Trust; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Trustees consider necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the shareholder of record of the specified shares in place of the shareholder who makes the certification.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition; provided, however, that this section may be repealed only with the approval of at least a majority of the shares then outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter.
Section 11. INSPECTORS. At any meeting of shareholders, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of shares represented at the meeting based upon their determination of the validity and effect of proxies, count all votes, report the results and perform such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the shareholders.
Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.
Section 12. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Trustees shall submit to the shareholders at or before the annual meeting of shareholders a report of the business and operations of the Trust during such fiscal year, containing a balance sheet and a statement of income and surplus of the Trust, accompanied by the certification of an independent certified public accountant, and such further information as the Trustees may determine is required pursuant to any law or regulation to which the Trust is subject. Within the earlier of 20 days after the annual meeting of shareholders or 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the Trust, the Trustees shall place the annual report on file at the principal office of the Trust and with any governmental agencies as may be required by law and as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
Section 13. NOMINATIONS AND PROPOSALS BY SHAREHOLDERS.
(a) Annual Meetings of Shareholders.
(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders: (A) pursuant to the Trusts notice of meeting; (B) by or at the direction of the Trustees; or (C) by any shareholder of the Trust who was a shareholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 13(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 13(a).
Page 3
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 13, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Trust and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by shareholders. To be timely, a shareholders notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day before the first anniversary of the date of the Trusts proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the preceding years annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the current years annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the preceding years meeting or if the Trust did not hold an annual meeting the preceding year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered within a reasonable time before the Trust begins to print and mail its proxy materials. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholders notice as described above. Such shareholders notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Trustee all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (including such persons written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Trustee if elected); (B) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made: (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Trusts books, and of such beneficial owner; and (ii) the number of each class of shares of the Trust which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 13 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees to be elected to the Board of Trustees is increased and there is no public announcement by the Trust naming all of the nominees for Trustee or specifying the size of the increased Board of Trustees at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, a shareholders notice required by this Section 13(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Trust.
(b) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Trusts notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which Trustees are to be elected: (i) pursuant to the Trusts notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees; or (iii) provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that Trustees shall be elected at such special meeting, by any shareholder of the Trust who was a shareholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 13(b) and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 13(b). In the event the Trust calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Board of Trustees, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in the Trusts notice of meeting, if the shareholders notice containing the information required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 13 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Trustees to be elected at such meeting. In
Page 4
no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholders notice as described above.
(c) General.
(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 shall be eligible to serve as Trustees and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 13, to declare that such nomination or proposal shall be disregarded.
(2) For purposes of this Section 13, public announcement shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 13. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in, nor the right of the Trust to omit a proposal from, the Trusts proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Section 14. INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS.
(a) Any action by Shareholders may be taken without a meeting, if a majority of Shares entitled to vote on the matter (or such larger proportion of Shares as shall be required to take such action) consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders.
(b) In order that the Trust may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Trustees may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Trust, request the Board of Trustees to fix a record date. The Board of Trustees shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Trustees within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received and no prior action by the Board of Trustees is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Trust by delivery to its registered office in the State of Maryland, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Trust having custody of the book in which proceedings of shareholders meetings are recorded, in each case to the attention of the Secretary of Trust. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Trustees within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received and prior action by the Board of Trustees is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Trustees adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
Section 15. VOTING BY BALLOT. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the presiding officer shall order or any shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

SHARES
Section 1. CERTIFICATES. Each shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates which shall represent and certify the number of shares of each class of beneficial interests held by him in the Trust.

The signatures may be either manual or facsimile. Certificates shall be
Page 11
consecutively numbered; and if the Trust shall, from time to time, issue several classes of shares, each class may have its own number series. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. Each certificate representing shares which are restricted as to their transferability or voting powers, which are preferred or limited as to their dividends or as to their allocable portion of the assets upon liquidation or which are redeemable at the option of the Trust, shall have a statement of such restriction, limitation, preference or redemption provision, or a summary thereof, plainly stated on the certificate. In lieu of such statement or summary, the Trust may set forth upon the face or back of the certificate a statement that the Trust will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of such information.
Section 2. TRANSFERS. Certificates shall be treated as negotiable and title thereto and to the shares they represent shall be transferred by delivery thereof to the same extent as those of a Maryland stock corporation. Upon surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of a share certificate duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Trust shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
The Trust shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust will be subject in all respects to the Declaration of Trust and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.
Section 3. REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATE. Any officer designated by the Trustees may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate previously issued by the Trust alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issuance of a new certificate, an officer designated by the Trustees may, in his discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owners legal representative to advertise the same in such manner as the officer shall require and/or to give bond, with sufficient surety, to the Trust to indemnify it against any loss or claim which may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate.
Section 4. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Trustees may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of shareholders of record is to be held or taken.
In lieu of fixing a record date, the Trustees may provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not longer than 20 days. If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days before the date of such meeting.
If no record date is fixed and the share transfer books are not closed for the determination of shareholders: (a) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of meeting is mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer date to the meeting; and (b) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend or an allotment of any other rights shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Trustees, declaring the dividend or allotment of rights, is adopted.
Page 12
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except when: (i) the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired; or (ii) the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the record date fixed for the original meeting, in either of which case a new record date shall be determined as set forth herein.
Section 5. STOCK LEDGER. The Trust shall maintain at its principal office or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer agent, an original or duplicate share ledger containing the name and address of each shareholder and the number of shares of each class held by such shareholder.
Section 6. FRACTIONAL SHARES; ISSUANCE OF UNITS. The Trustees may issue fractional shares or provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms and under such conditions as they may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, the Trustees may issue units consisting of different securities of the Trust. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Trust, except that the Trustees may provide that for a specified period securities of the Trust issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the Trust only in such unit.

Section 2. CONTINGENCIES.

In addition, the Trust shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse, in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable expenses incurred by a Trustee, officer or shareholder or former Trustee, officer or shareholder made a party to a proceeding by reason such status, provided that, in the case of a Trustee or officer, the Trust shall have received: (1) a written affirmation by the Trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Trust as authorized by these Bylaws; and (2) a written undertaking by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Trust if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct was not met.

FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST
COMBINED INCENTIVE AND NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Award under the Federal Realty Investment Trust
Amended and Restated 2003 Long Term Incentive Award Program)
, 200
The parties to this Combined Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (this Agreement) are Federal Realty Investment Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the Trust), and , an individual employee of the Trust (the Key Employee).
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board of Trustees) has authorized the award by the Trust to the Key Employee, under the Trusts 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan): (a) options that qualify as Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422 or any successor provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), and/or (b) options not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (Non-Qualified Stock Options), subject to certain restrictions and covenants on the part of Key Employee as set forth herein. The parties hereto desire to set forth in this Agreement their respective rights and obligations with respect to such Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
In consideration of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Award of Options.
(a) Number of Shares and Price. The Trust hereby grants to the Key Employee an option (Option) to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the last page of this Agreement. The exercise price per Share of the Option shall be as is set forth on the last page of this Agreement, such price being the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date of the Option. The portion of the Option indicated on the last page of this Agreement as an Incentive Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that to the extent, but only to the extent, that the provisions of this Agreement or the nature of any actions taken by the Key Employee are inconsistent with the treatment of such portion of the Option as an Incentive Stock Option, such portion of the Option shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The other portion of the Option indicated on the last page of this Agreement is a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(b) Term and Exercise. The Option shall expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination as set forth in Section 3. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3, the Option shall become exercisable in installments as set forth on the last page of this Agreement.
2. Exercise of Option Upon Termination of Service.
(a) Retirement. Upon the Key Employees termination of Service by reason of retirement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, some or all of the Options shall become immediately exercisable as follows: (i) 50% of the then unexercisable Options shall become immediately exercisable in the event of the Key Employees retirement on or after the Key Employee reaches the age of 58 (Permitted Retirement Date) but before the Key Employee reaches the age of 62; (ii) 75% of the then unexercisable Options shall become immediately exercisable in the event of the Key Employees retirement on or after the Key Employee reaches the age of 62 but before the Key Employee reaches the age of 65; and (iii) all of the then unexercisable Options shall become immediately exercisable in the event of the Key Employees retirement on or after the Key Employee reaches the age of 65. The Key
Employee shall have a period of two years after such termination of Service by reason of retirement to exercise all or a part of the Option to the extent that it was exercisable upon or as a result of such termination of Service as aforesaid. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b).
(b) Death. In the event of the death of the Key Employee while employed by the Trust, all Options shall become immediately exercisable notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and the Key Employees beneficiary shall have a period of two years after the Key Employees death to exercise all or a part of the Option to the extent that it was exercisable upon or as a result of the Key Employees death as aforesaid. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2(b) shall not extend any of the times periods for a Key Employee to exercise all or part of the Option which have been established by any of Sections 2(a), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g).
(c) Disability. Upon the Key Employees termination of Service by reason of Disability, all Options shall become immediately exercisable notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and the Key Employee shall have a period of two years after such termination of Service to exercise all or a part of the Option to the extent that it was exercisable upon or became exercisable as a result of such termination of Service by reason of Disability. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b).
(d) Termination without Cause. Upon the Key Employees termination of Service without Cause, all Options shall become immediately exercisable notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and the Key Employee shall have a period of [three months] [one year in the case of Form 4 reporting officers] after such termination of Service to exercise all or any part of the Option to the extent that it was exercisable upon or became exercisable as a result of such termination of Service. In no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b).
(e) Termination for Cause. Upon the Key Employees termination of Service for Cause, the Key Employees right to exercise all of any part of the Option, to the extent it was exercisable at the date of termination of Service, shall terminate at the date of termination of Service. In no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b).
(f) Change in Control. If the Key Employee incurs an Involuntary Termination within the one year period commencing with a Change in Control, the Option, to the extent it is outstanding and unexercised on the date of such Involuntary Termination, shall become immediately and fully exercisable for a period of [three months] [one year in the case of Form 4 reporting officers] from the date of such termination of Service. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b). The provisions of this Section 3(f) shall not be applicable to the Option if such Change in Control results from the Key Employees beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Shares or Trust Voting Securities.
(g) Any other Termination of Service. Upon the Key Employees termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Sections 2(a) through (f), the Key Employee shall have a period of [three months] [one year in the case of Form 4 reporting officers] from the date of such termination of Service to exercise all or any part of the Option to the extent it was exercisable at the date of termination of Service. In no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration date described in Section 1(b).
3. Forfeiture. To the extent all or any part of the Option was not exercisable as of the date of termination of Service or did not become exercisable as a result of the termination of Service as provided in Section 2, the unexercisable portion of the Option shall expire at the date of such termination of Service.
4. Exercise Procedures.
(a) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by written notice to the Trust, which must be received by the Secretary of the Trust not later than 5:00 P.M. local time at the principal executive office of
2
the Trust on the expiration date of the Option. Such written notice shall set forth: (i) the number of Shares being purchased and whether those Shares are issuable as a result of the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option or the Non-Qualified Stock Option portion of the Option; (ii) the total exercise price for the Shares being purchased; (iii) the exact name as it should appear on the stock certificate(s) to be issued for the Shares being purchased; and (iv) the address to which the stock certificate(s) should be sent.
(b) Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price of Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option shall be paid in full: (i) in cash; (ii) by delivery to the Trust of Shares which if acquired from the Trust shall have been held by the Key Employee for at least six (6) months; (iii) in any combination of cash and Shares; or (iv) by delivery of such other consideration as the Committee deems appropriate and in compliance with applicable law (including payment in accordance with a cashless exercise program under which, if so instructed by the Key Employee, Shares may be issued directly to the Key Employees broker or dealer against receipt of the exercise price in cash from the broker or dealer).
In the event that any Shares shall be transferred to the Trust to satisfy all or any part of the exercise price, the part of the exercise price deemed to have been satisfied by such transfer of Shares shall be equal to the product derived by multiplying the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise times the number of Shares transferred to the Trust. The Key Employee may not transfer to the Trust in satisfaction of the exercise price any fraction of a Share, and any portion of the exercise price that would represent less than a full Share must be paid in cash by the Key Employee. If payment in full or part is to be made in the form of Restricted Shares, an equivalent number of Shares issued on exercise of the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions for the remainder of the Award Period applicable to the Restricted Shares surrendered therefor.
(c) Delivery of Certificate. Subject to Section 8 hereof, certificates for the purchased Shares will be issued and delivered to the Key Employee as soon as practicable after the receipt of payment of the exercise price in accordance with Section 4(b) above; provided, however, that delivery of any such Shares shall be deemed effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent of the Trust shall have deposited such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to Key Employee, at the address set forth on the last page of this Agreement or to such other address as Key Employee may from time to time designate in a written notice to the Trust. The Key Employee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a shareholder of the Trust in respect of any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been exercised, as herein provided, until such Shares have been issued to Key Employee by the Trust hereunder.
5. Plan Provisions Control Option Terms; Modifications. The Option is granted pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with any of the terms in the Plan as constituted on the Grant Date, the terms of the Plan as constituted on the Grant Date shall control. The Option shall not be modified after the Grant Date except by express written agreement between the Trust and the Key Employee; provided, however, that any such modification: (a) shall not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan; and (b) shall be approved by the Committee.
6. Limitations on Transfer. Except as provided in this Section 6, the Option may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Key Employee may transfer, in a not for value transfer, all or part of this Option that is a Non-Qualified Stock Option to any Family Member (as defined in the Plan). For the purpose of this Section 6, a not for value transfer is a transfer which is: (a) a gift; (b) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (c) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Key Employee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 6, the Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Key Employee in accordance with this Section 6 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Key Employees beneficiary may exercise the Key Employees rights hereunder only to the extent they were exercisable under this Agreement at the date of the death of the Key Employee and are otherwise currently exercisable.
3
7. Taxes. The Trust shall be entitled to withhold (or secure payment from the Key Employee in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Trust with respect to any Shares issuable under this Agreement, or upon a disqualifying disposition of Shares received pursuant to the exercise of the portion of the Option that is an Incentive Stock Option, and the Trust may defer issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the Option unless the Trust is indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for any such tax. The amount of such withholding or tax payment shall be determined by the Committee or its delegate and shall be payable by the Key Employee at such time as the Committee determines. The Key Employee may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation by the payment of cash to the Trust and/or by the withholding from the Option, at the appropriate time, of a number of Shares sufficient, based upon the Fair Market Value of such Shares, to satisfy such tax withholding requirements. The Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to establish such rules and procedures relating to any such withholding methods as it deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, rules and procedures relating to elections to have Shares withheld upon exercise of the Option to meet such withholding obligations.
8. No Exercise in Violation of Law. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Key Employee hereby agrees that he or she will not exercise the Option granted hereby, and that the Trust will not be obligated to issue any Shares to the Key Employee hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such Shares shall constitute a violation by the Key Employee or the Trust of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and the Key Employee has hereunto set his hand effective as of the day and year first above written.
