Item 33.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

              On July 7, 2004, we issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan: 695,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain of our directors and officers. For a more detailed description of our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, see "Management—Equity Incentive Plan" in this registration statement. In granting the restricted shares, we relied upon exemptions from registration set forth in Rule 701 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

              On July 7, 2004, we sold a total of 13,586,050 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $126.4 million at a purchase price of $9.30 per share, less expenses, in a private unregistered offering to Freidman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc., or FBR, pursuant to the exemptions from registration set forth in Sections 4(1) and 4(2) of the Securities Act, which shares were subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and/or to non-U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The per share price of the shares of common stock sold to FBR was $9.30, and the per share offering price to our investors was $10.00.

              Concurrently with the sale of a total of 13,586,050 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $39.4 million at a purchase price of $9.30 per share, less expenses, to FBR in our July 2004 private placement, we sold a total of 4,263,950 shares of common stock directly to certain accredited investors, including without limitation FBR and certain affiliates, directors, officers and employees of FBR, at a per share price of $10.00, pursuant to an exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. We paid a placement fee of $0.70 per share to FBR with respect to all 4,263,950 of those shares.

Item 34.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

              The Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and

II-1



its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL.

              Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to obligate our company to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any present or former director or officer or (b) any individual who, while a director or officer and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his or her serving in any of the foregoing capacities. Our bylaws obligate our company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any present or former director or officer who is made, or is threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity. Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of our company in any of the capacities described above and to our employees or agents and any employee or agent of our predecessor.

              The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

              We currently have in place a primary and two excess directors' and officers' liability insurance policies issued by Nutmeg Insurance Company, an affiliate of The Hartford Group, and American International Specialty Lines Insurance Co., and affiliate of AIG. The policies have a combined limit of $25 million per claim as well as in the aggregate. The policy does not have a self-insured retention for

II-2



non-indemnified claims, but it has a self-insured retention of $250,000 per claim for all other covered claims.

Item 35.    Treatment of Proceeds from Stock Being Registered.

              None of the proceeds will be credited to an account other than the appropriate capital share account.

Item 36.    Financial Statements and Exhibits.

              (A)  Financial Statements. See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto.

Item 37.    Undertakings.

              (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

              (b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

              (c)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
