Our properties depend upon the Chicago metropolitan area economy and its demand for office space. We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire. Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry. We face significant competition, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Our debt level reduces cash available for operations, capital expenditures and distributions to holders of our Series B Shares and our common shareholder, and may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations. Covenants in our debt instruments could adversely affect our financial condition and restrict our range of operating activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay or maintain cash distributions to holders of Series B Shares or our common shareholder. The average daily trading volume of our Series B Shares is relatively small, thus making it difficult to buy or sell significant numbers of shares without affecting the market price. Lightstone controls us, and will continue to control us, as long as one or more of its affiliates own a majority of our common shares. Lightstone and its designees on our Board may have interests that conflict with our interests We may sell or acquire additional assets which could adversely affect our operations and financial results The redevelopment of certain of our existing properties and any future development we may undertake could be costly and involve substantial risk. Only our Series B Shares are listed on the NYSE and, therefore, we are entitled to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. We depend on significant tenants Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our joint venture partners' financial condition and any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners. Tax indemnification obligations in the event that we sell a certain property could limit our operating flexibility Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us. Other regulations could adversely affect our financial condition Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations Potential losses may not be covered by insurance. The construction of new developments adjacent to or near certain of our existing properties may adversely affect the leasing, operation and value of those properties. We may incur significant costs of complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws Liabilities for environmental matters could adversely affect our financial condition Future terrorist attacks in the United States could harm the demand for, and the values of, our properties.
