compensation, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be entitled to receive a
fee of $750 per meeting attended with the Company's independent accountants
($375 for each telephonic meeting in which such Chairman participates) as a
representative of the Audit Committee. The Company will not pay any compensation
to the officers and Directors of the Company who also serve as officers and
directors of the Advisor (as such term is defined in the Articles of
Incorporation).
Sections 1 and 2 of Article VII are to be deleted in their entirety and
replaced by the following:
SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES. The Company will not issue share certificates.
A stockholder's investment will be recorded on the books of the Company. A

properly executed documentation. Stockholders who are residents of New York may
not transfer fewer than 250 shares at any time.
The Company shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any
Equity Shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound

thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland.
The foregoing is certified as Amendment No. 1 to the Bylaws of the
