To maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the payment of U.S. federal income and excise taxes, we may be forced to borrow funds, use proceeds from the issuance of securities, pay taxable dividends of our stock or debt securities or sell assets to make distributions, in each case during unfavorable market conditions and which may result in our distributing amounts that would otherwise be used for our operations.

We may be unable to complete any pending acquisitions, which would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, earnings and cash flow, and even if acquisitions are completed, we may fail to successfully operate acquired properties.

Given our dependence on rental revenue, failure by our major tenants to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of their financial condition, a termination of their leases, a non-renewal of their leases or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations
