                                   THE TRUST
 
  New Plan, one of the largest publicly traded real estate investment trusts in
the United States based on the aggregate market value of its outstanding Common
Shares, is a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment
trust which primarily owns shopping centers. The Trust's present equity
investments consist principally of 92 shopping centers, with approximately
11,813,000 gross rentable square feet, five factory outlet centers with
approximately 1,529,000 gross rentable square feet (including expansions under
construction of approximately 310,000 gross rentable square feet) and 15 garden
apartment complexes containing 2,862 apartment units. These properties are
located in 18 states. See "Business." The Trust has also recently entered into
contracts to purchase one shopping center with approximately 84,200 gross
rentable square feet and four garden apartment complexes containing 914
apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24.7 million.
See "Recent Developments." Since the organization of the corporate predecessor
of the Trust in 1962, the Trust and its predecessor have been directed by
members of the Newman family, who own and control 3,085,901 Common Shares, or
approximately 6.2% of the currently outstanding Common Shares, and are the
Trust's largest group of non-institutional shareholders. See "Controlling
Shareholders." The Newman family has been active in real estate ownership and
management since 1926.
 
  The Trust has paid regular and uninterrupted cash distributions on its Common
Shares since it commenced operations as a real estate investment trust in 1972.
These distributions, which are paid quarterly, have increased from $0.19 per
Common Share in fiscal 1973 to $1.275 per Common Share in fiscal 1993. Since
inception, each distribution has either been equal to or greater than the
distribution preceding it, and the distributions have been increased in each of
the last 60 consecutive quarters. The Trust intends to continue to declare
quarterly distributions on its Common Shares.
 
  The Trust's primary investment strategy is to identify and purchase well-
located income-producing shopping centers and garden apartment complexes at a
discount to replacement cost. The Trust also purchases selected factory outlet
centers. The Trust seeks to achieve income growth through a program of
expansion, renovation, leasing, re-leasing and improving the tenant mix. The
Trust minimizes development risks by generally purchasing existing income-
producing properties.
 
  The Trust generally has acquired properties for cash. It is management's
belief that its ability to purchase available properties for cash enhances its
negotiating position in obtaining attractive purchase prices. During the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1993, New Plan acquired six shopping centers and one
factory outlet center aggregating approximately 1,198,000 gross rentable square
feet and one garden apartment complex containing 220 apartment units for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $78.2 million. Since August 1, 1993,
the Trust has acquired 15 shopping centers and three factory outlet centers
aggregating approximately 3,023,000 gross rentable square feet and three garden
apartment complexes containing 834 apartment units for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $185 million. In a few instances properties have been
acquired subject to existing non-recourse long-term mortgages. Long-term debt
of the Trust at April 30, 1994 consisted of approximately $28.1 million of
mortgage loans. As of May 31, 1994, the Trust had also used approximately $40
million of its $65 million line of credit with The Bank of New York and Fleet
Bank, N.A. (the "Line of Credit") to purchase properties. The Trust intends to
repay the outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit with the net proceeds
of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
  The Trust has a highly diversified shopping center tenant base. Kmart, the
Trust's largest tenant, currently accounts for approximately 6% of revenues. No
other single tenant or chain of tenants currently accounts for more than 2% of
the Trust's revenues. Many of the shopping centers include supermarket and drug
store tenants which historically have been less susceptible to economic
downturns. See "Business."

  The Trust has recently entered into contracts to purchase one shopping center
with approximately 84,200 gross rentable square feet and four garden apartment
complexes containing 914 apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $24.7 million. The purchase of the four garden apartment
complexes will increase the number of apartment units in the Trust's portfolio
to 3,776. The Trust is presently conducting its due diligence review with
respect to these properties and there can be no assurance that these properties
will be purchased.
 
  The shopping center that New Plan has contracted to acquire is Brandywine
Plaza located in DeLand, Florida. Brandywine Plaza consists of approximately
84,000 gross rentable square feet on approximately 12 acres, has space for 21
tenants and is currently 86% occupied. Brandywine Plaza's major tenants include
Winn-Dixie and Eckerd Drugs.
 
  The four garden apartment complexes that New Plan has contracted to acquire
are Sedgefield Apartments, in Florence, South Carolina, the Trust's first
property in that state, and Paddock Place, The Pines and Cedar Village, all of
which are located in Clarksville, Tennessee. Sedgefield Apartments contains 280
apartment units and was built in 1972 and was expanded in 1974 and 1979.
Paddock Place contains 240 apartment units and was built in 1989. The Pines
contains 224 apartment units and was built in 1986. Cedar Village contains 170
apartment units and was built in 1982. All of the garden apartment complexes
under contract have landscaped grounds and a swimming pool and Sedgefield
Apartments also has three tennis courts.
 
  In May, 1994, the Trust acquired four shopping centers containing an
aggregate of approximately 639,000 gross rentable square feet for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $25.8 million. The four shopping centers are
Western Village and Brentwood Plaza, located in Cincinnati, Ohio; Hamilton
Plaza, located in Hamilton, New Jersey; and Albany Plaza, located in Albany,
Georgia.
 
  Western Village consists of approximately 139,000 gross rentable square feet
on approximately 13 acres, has space for 15 tenants and is currently 100%
occupied. Western Village's major tenants include Furrows Hardware and T.J.
Maxx.
 
  Brentwood Plaza consists of approximately 237,000 gross rentable square feet
on approximately 20 acres, has space for 34 tenants and is currently 93%
occupied. Brentwood Plaza's major tenants include TJX, IGA Supermarket and

  Hamilton Plaza consists of approximately 149,000 gross rentable square feet
on approximately 18 acres, has space for eight tenants and is currently 97%
occupied. Hamilton Plaza's major tenants include Kmart and Acme Supermarket.
 
  Albany Plaza consists of approximately 114,000 gross rentable square feet on
approximately seven acres, has space for 11 tenants and is currently 99%
occupied. Albany Plaza's major tenants include Food Lion Supermarket, Big Lots
and Eckerd Drugs.
 
  The Trust is presently discussing with The Bank of New York and Fleet Bank,
N.A. an increase in the Line of Credit from $65 million to $100 million on the
same terms and conditions as the existing Line of Credit.
 
  In the nine-month period ended April 30, 1994, net income totaled $38,143,000
(or $.78 per Common Share) on revenues of $73,053,000. Set forth below is

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Common Shares offered
hereby are estimated at approximately $64.1 million (approximately $73.8
million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full).
Approximately $40 million of the net proceeds will be used to repay borrowings
outstanding under the Line of Credit. The borrowings outstanding under the Line
of Credit presently bear interest at a weighted average rate of 4.83% and are
due and payable on December 29, 1994. The balance of the net proceeds will be
used to make future property acquisitions, to finance property expansions and
renovations underway and planned, and for general trust purposes. Pending such
uses, the net proceeds may be invested in short-term income producing
investments such as investments in commercial paper, government securities or
money market funds that invest in government securities.

  The last reported sale price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock
Exchange on June 22, 1994 was $22.75. The number of shareholders of record at
June 21, 1994 was 11,541. The First National Bank of Boston is registrar and
transfer agent for the Common Shares.
 
  Since its organization in 1972, the Trust has made regular and uninterrupted
distributions and such distributions have never been omitted or reduced.
Distributions have been increased in each of the last 60 consecutive quarters.
 
  The Trust intends to continue to declare quarterly distributions on its
Common Shares. However, no assurances can be made as to the amounts of future
distributions since such distributions are subject to the Trust's cash flow
from operations, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such
other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant. A principal factor in
the determination of the amounts of distributions is the requirement of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that a real estate investment trust
must distribute at least 95% of its taxable income.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
 
  The Trust has a Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan which
allows shareholders to acquire additional Common Shares by automatically
reinvesting distributions. Common Shares are acquired pursuant to the Plan at a
price equal to 95% of the market price of such Common Shares on the dividend
payment date, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge.
The Plan also allows shareholders to purchase additional Common Shares at 100%
of the average of the high and low sales price of such Common Shares on the
dividend payment date in January, April, July and October of each year, by
making optional cash payments, without payment of any brokerage commission or
service charge. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan continue to
receive cash distributions, as declared. At present, approximately 62% of the
Trust's eligible shareholders participate in the Plan. William Newman, the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, is the largest
individual participant in the Plan.
 
                                    BUSINESS
 
  The Trust presently owns or has leasehold interests in 92 shopping centers
containing an aggregate of approximately 11,813,000 gross rentable square feet.
Substantially all of the shopping centers are community and neighborhood
centers. The centers frequently include supermarket chains and drug stores as
major tenants and in some instances the centers include discount department
stores. Twenty-one of the shopping centers are located in New York, 15 in Ohio,
13 in Georgia, eight in Pennsylvania, six each in Kentucky and Virginia, five
in North Carolina, four each in Indiana and Tennessee, three each in New Jersey
and West Virginia, two in Delaware and one each in Maryland and Michigan. The
Trust also owns five factory outlet centers aggregating approximately 1,529,000
gross rentable square feet (including expansions under construction of
approximately 310,000 gross rentable square feet). Two of the centers are
located in Missouri and one center is located in each of California, Florida
and Virginia. The Trust also owns 15 garden apartment complexes with an
aggregate of 2,862 apartment units. Four of the apartment complexes are located
in Kentucky, three in Alabama, two each in Delaware, New York and Tennessee,
and one each in Florida and Ohio. Approximately 70% of the apartment units have
two or more bedrooms. The Trust believes that all of its properties are
adequately covered by insurance.
 
  Kmart, the Trust's largest tenant, currently accounts for approximately 6% of
revenues. No other single tenant or chain of tenants currently accounts for
more than 2% of the Trust's revenues. For a complete listing of the Trust's
properties, see the "Schedule of Properties" below.
 
                                      S-9
<PAGE>
 
  The Trust intends to continue to invest in well-located income-producing
real estate, with a primary emphasis on shopping centers and garden apartment
complexes. The Trust may also continue to invest in selected factory outlet
centers. An important part of the Trust's investment strategy is to enhance
the cash flow potential of its properties through a program of expansion,
renovation, leasing, re-leasing and improving the tenant mix. The recent
economic recession and tight real estate credit conditions have led to
financial difficulties for leveraged property owners and their lenders
creating an additional source of acquisitions for the Trust. Management
expects the number of properties available for purchase from these sources to
continue.
 
  The Trust often seeks properties located in small cities. Currently, none of
the Trust's shopping centers are enclosed malls. Many of the centers feature
supermarket and drug store tenants and some of the centers include discount
department stores. Supermarkets and drug stores historically have been less
susceptible to economic downturns. The Trust attempts to acquire each shopping
center and apartment complex at a discount to replacement cost. Properties
purchased substantially below replacement cost generally have low rent which
may allow for significant increases. By primarily purchasing completed income-
producing properties rather than building them, the Trust has avoided
development risks.
 
  Recently, the Trust has purchased newer and more modern shopping centers at
below replacement cost. The average size of the supermarkets in these centers
exceeds 40,000 square feet, representing current food store designs. The Trust
believes that such newer, high-quality centers will continue to be available
below replacement cost.
 
  The Trust generally seeks to acquire properties in those states in which it
already owns property or in an adjacent state to allow for efficient
management. The Trust also attempts to acquire shopping centers which provide
opportunities for expansion or would benefit from renovation. See "Renovations
and Expansions."
 
  A substantial portion of the Trust's shopping center income consists of
rents received under long-term leases. Most of these shopping center leases
provide for payment by tenants of an annual minimum rent and additional rent
calculated generally as a percentage of gross sales in excess of a specified
amount ("percentage rent"), and many leases also have cost of living
escalation clauses. Upon renewal of a shopping center lease, the annual
minimum rent of a tenant is generally increased to an amount which approaches
or exceeds the sum of the former annual minimum rent plus the most recent
annual percentage rent received from the tenant. The Trust's apartments are
generally rented on a one-year basis.
 
  The Trust's shopping center leases usually provide that the Trust, as
landlord, must repair and maintain building exteriors (including roofs and
canopies and external utilities) and common areas, including parking lots.
Most of the shopping center leases also contain provisions for pro rata
contribution by tenants to the cost of maintaining common areas and payment of
real estate taxes. New leases generally provide for full pro rata recovery of
these costs from tenants.
 
  In order to protect and enhance its investments, the Trust incurs
unreimbursed costs for renovation of its properties. The Trust also seeks to
commit tenants to make improvements to their premises, including sign
installation and store modernization. The management of the Trust believes
that because such renovations and improvements enhance the appearance of the
shopping centers, customer traffic may increase. To the extent that additional
customer traffic results in higher sales, percentage rents received by the
Trust with respect to that shopping center may increase. As a result, the
Trust is in a better position to receive higher minimum rents upon the
expiration of leases from existing tenants or new leases.
 
  In addition to the real estate properties described above, the Trust holds
three purchase money first mortgages at per annum interest rates of 9.375%,
9.875% and 10%, a second mortgage at a per annum
 
                                     S-10
<PAGE>
 
interest rate of 10.5%, a leasehold mortgage at a per annum interest rate of
12% and a note receivable at a per annum interest rate of 11.5%. The mortgages
and note receivable, all of which are presently current, totalled $22,918,000
at April 30, 1994. The mortgages are collateralized by shopping centers located
in New York and Pennsylvania. These shopping centers contain an aggregate of
approximately 536,000 gross rentable square feet. The Trust also owns 55 acres
of vacant land in Jackson Township, New Jersey, an approximately 51,000 square
foot office building in Princeton, New Jersey and minor interests in several
publicly traded real estate entities, consisting of convertible debentures and
shares of beneficial interest.
 
  Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner of real estate or interests therein may be liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances on or in such property.
Such enactments often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner
knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances. The
cost of any required remediation and the owner's liability therefor as to any
property is generally not limited under such enactments and could exceed the
value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. The presence of
such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may also
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow
using such property as collateral.
 
  The Trust's management is not aware of any environmental liability that it
believes could have a material adverse effect on the Trust's financial
condition or results of operations. In addition, since 1989, the Trust has
typically conducted Phase I environmental audits (which generally involve
inspection without soil sampling or ground water analysis) in connection with
property acquisitions and none of these audits has revealed the existence of
any environmental conditions that the Trust's management believes could have a
material adverse effect on the Trust's financial condition or results of
operations. No assurance, however, can be given that these audits reveal all
environmental liabilities, that environmental liabilities may not have
developed since such audits were conducted or that no material adverse
environmental condition exists that is not known to the Trust.
 
  The success of the Trust depends, among other factors, upon the trends of the
economy, including interest rates, construction costs, income tax laws and
increases or decreases in operating expenses, governmental regulations and
legislation, including environmental requirements, real estate fluctuations,
retailing trends, population trends, zoning laws, the financial condition and
stability of tenants, the availability of financing and capital on satisfactory
terms and the ability of the Trust to compete with others for tenants and keep
its properties leased at profitable levels. The Trust competes for properties
with an indeterminate number of investors, including domestic and foreign
corporations and financial institutions, and an increasing number of real
estate investment trusts, life insurance companies, pension funds and trust
funds. The Trust regularly reviews its portfolio and from time to time
considers the sale of certain of its properties.
 
RENOVATIONS AND EXPANSIONS
 
  The Trust is continuously engaged in a major program of renovation or
expansion of its existing properties. Renovations and expansions are currently
underway or are planned at several of the Trust's properties, the estimated
short term aggregate cost of which is approximately $28,100,000. These
renovations and expansions consist primarily of a $8.9 million expansion
underway at the Branson, Missouri factory outlet center, a $7.3 million
expansion underway at the Barstow, California factory outlet center, a $4.9
million expansion underway at the Osage Beach, Missouri factory outlet center,
a $3.6 million renovation and expansion underway at the Moundsville Plaza
Shopping Center in Moundsville, West Virginia, a $1.1 million expansion planned
at the St. Augustine, Florida factory outlet center and a $750,000 renovation
planned at the Northland Plaza Shopping Center in Watertown, New York.

CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
  Upon the consummation of this offering, ABP will own 5,000,000 Common Shares,
or approximately 9.5% of the outstanding Common Shares, MNOPF Trustees Limited
(formerly Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund Trustees Limited) ("MNOPF") will
own 4,509,954 Common Shares, or 8.6% of the outstanding Common Shares, and the
Newman family as a group, including William Newman, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, Melvin Newman, a Trustee of
the Trust, and the estate of Joseph Newman, a former Trustee of the Trust, will
own and control an aggregate of 3,085,901 Common Shares, or approximately 5.9%
of the outstanding Common Shares.
 
  William Newman and Melvin Newman may be deemed to be controlling persons of
the Trust by virtue of their ownership of Common Shares. Under a shareholders'
agreement among William Newman, Melvin Newman and the estate of Joseph Newman
(the successor in interest to Joseph Newman), each party to the agreement holds
a first refusal right to purchase Common Shares in the event of a proposed
transfer of Common Shares by any party to someone other than an immediate
family member. In addition, William Newman and Melvin Newman each have the
right to vote 50% of the Common Shares owned by the estate of Joseph Newman.
They have also agreed to vote such Common Shares and their own respective
Common Shares for the re-election of each other as Trustees. Common Shares
transferred among immediate family members will remain subject to the
agreement.
 
  In connection with their purchase of Common Shares, MNOPF and ABP
(collectively sometimes called the "Funds") have each entered into separate
agreements with the Trust. ABP has agreed that for the period ending December
24, 2001, it will vote its Common Shares in favor of management's nominees to
the Board of Trustees. The ABP agreement also requires that a specified degree
of continuity exist in the Trust's management. The Trust has agreed to include
among management's nominees to the Board of Trustees up to two persons
designated by MNOPF in the event that MNOPF owns at least 20% of the Common
Shares, and one person designed by ABP so long as ABP owns at least 9.9% of the
Common Shares. Mr. Bottorf has been so designated by ABP.
 
  The agreements between the Trust and the Funds additionally provide that for
the periods ending December 24, 2001 in the case of MNOPF and ending January
10, 2006 in the case of ABP, the Funds will not acquire Common Shares or other
voting securities or convertible securities of the Trust which would bring
their respective holdings in excess of 25% of the outstanding Common Shares for
MNOPF and in excess of 15% of such Common Shares for ABP, provided that a
degree of continuity exists in the Trust's management. MNOPF's agreement for
continuity requires that at least one of William Newman, Melvin Newman and
Arnold Laubich is a Trustee and key executive officer of the Trust. ABP's
agreement for continuity requires that a majority of the Trust's Board of
Trustees consist of "Continuing Trustees" (who are defined as Trustees who
either were Trustees on January 10, 1991 or whose nomination at any time
thereafter is approved by a majority of Continuing Trustees) and that a
majority of the Trust's executive officers consist of officers who have been
executive officers for at least two years or who are elected to their office by
a majority of Continuing Trustees. ABP has also agreed that except under
certain specified circumstances it will not sell or transfer any of its Common
Shares without the Trust's consent for the period ending January 10, 2001.
 
  In the event the Trust issues additional Common Shares for cash at a time
when MNOPF owns at least 20% of the Common Shares and ABP owns at least 9.9% of
the Common Shares, each Fund has the right to maintain its respective
percentage of ownership in the Trust by purchasing from the Trust additional
Common Shares of the Trust at the same price as was paid by such purchaser,
less an amount equal to underwriter's commissions, if any.
 
  In addition to the issued Common Shares owned by the Newman family, William
Newman, Chief Executive Officer, and Arnold Laubich, President, each hold
options to acquire 650,000 and 655,000 Common Shares, respectively. Such
options represent or include the grant of options for 650,000 Common
 
                                      S-20
<PAGE>
 
Shares each on March 12, 1991 at an exercise price of $18 7/8 per Common Share,
which was the closing sale price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock
Exchange on that date. The options vest and are exercisable 30% during the
third year and 10% in each succeeding year.
 
  Accordingly, management is in the position of controlling the affairs of the
Trust for an indefinite period by virtue of the combined shareholdings of the
Funds and the Newman family, and the agreements among the Trust, the Funds and
the Newmans.
 
                                    TAXATION
 
  The Trust believes that it has operated, and the Trust intends to continue to
operate, in such manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), but no assurance
can be given that it will at all times so qualify. In the opinion of Altheimer
& Gray, tax counsel to the Trust, the Trust was organized in conformity with
the requirements for qualification as a "real estate investment trust" under
the Code, and the Trust since its organization has met and continues to meet
all requirements of the Code requisite to such qualification. In rendering its
opinion, Altheimer & Gray has relied, as to factual determinations and
conclusions necessary to its opinion, on representations of the Trust.
 
  The provisions of the Code pertaining to real estate investment trusts are
highly technical and complex. The following is a brief and very general summary
of certain provisions which currently govern the federal income tax treatment
of the Trust and its shareholders. For the particular provisions which govern
the federal income tax treatment of the Trust and its shareholders, reference
is made to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations
promulgated thereunder. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by
such reference.
 
  Under the Code, if certain requirements are met in a taxable year, a real
estate investment trust will generally not be subject to federal income tax
with respect to income which it distributes to its shareholders. If the Trust
fails to qualify during any taxable year as a real estate investment trust,
unless certain relief provisions are available, it will be subject to tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates, which could have a material adverse effect upon its
shareholders.
 
  In any year in which the Trust qualifies to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust, distributions made to its shareholders out of current or
accumulated earnings or profits will be treated as dividends except that
distributions of net capital gains designated by the Trust as capital gain
dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains to the shareholders. To the
extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits,
they will constitute a return of capital, rather than dividend or capital gain
income, and will be applied in reducing the basis for the shareholders' Common
Shares, or if in excess of such basis, will be taxed in the same manner as gain
from the sale of those Common Shares.
 
  Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax
consequences arising under federal law and the laws of any state, municipality
or other taxing jurisdiction. Foreign investors should consult their own tax
advisors concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Trust
including the possibility of United States income tax withholding on Trust
distributions.
 
                                  UNDERWRITING
 
  Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the terms agreement and
related underwriting agreement (collectively, the "Underwriting Agreement"),
the Trust has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters named below, and each
of the Underwriters for whom Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, Kidder Peabody & Co. Incorporated, PaineWebber Incorporated and

Incorporated are acting as representatives (the "Representatives") has
severally agreed to purchase, the respective number of Common Shares set forth
below opposite their respective names. The Underwriting Agreement provides that
the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions
precedent, and that the Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the
Common Shares if any are purchased.

initially to offer the Common Shares to the public at the public offering price
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement, and to certain
dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $.70 per share. The
Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess
of $.10 per share on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public
offering, the public offering price, concession and discounts may be changed.
 
  The Trust has granted an option to the Underwriters, exercisable during the
30-day period after the date of this Prospectus Supplement, to purchase up to
an aggregate of 450,000 additional Common Shares at the
 
                                      S-22

price to the public set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement,
less the underwriting discount. The Underwriters may exercise this option only
to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise
this option, each Underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions,
to purchase the number of additional Common Shares proportionate to such
Underwriter's initial amount reflected in the foregoing table.
 
  The Trust has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain civil
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make
in respect thereof.
