As of June 30, 2005, Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own 7,178,147 shares of Common Stock through (i) WH Advisors VII, the sole general partner of Whitehall Real Estate VII, which is the sole managing member of WHSHC LLC which beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,710,112 shares of Common Stock as described above, and (ii) WH Advisors IX, the sole general partner of Whitehall Real Estate IX, which is the sole managing member of W9 LLC, which beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,468,035 shares of Common Stock as described above. For all purposes hereof, beneficial ownership of Common Stock includes ownership of SHC Funding Units by the Reporting Person, which, following presentation for redemption by the holder thereof, may be redeemed for an equal number of shares of Common Stock in the Company's sole discretion. None of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto has contributed any funds or other consideration towards the acquisition of the Common Stock, except insofar as they may be general or limited partners of, or own membership interests in, certain of the Reporting Persons and have made capital contributions to such Reporting Persons, as the case may be. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows: WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Stock for investment purposes. If any, the shares of Common Stock which may be deemed to be held by Goldman Sachs, other than shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through WH Advisors VII and WH Advisor IX, were acquired in the ordinary course of business of Goldman Sachs. As of the date of this statement, none of the Reporting Persons, or to the knowledge and belief of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto, has any present plan or proposals which would relate to or would result in any transaction event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, other than the fact that, on April 7, 2005, WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") with the Company providing for, among other matters, the right of WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC to nominate one person as a director to the Company's Board of Directors so long as the Shareholders maintain aggregate ownership of 10%. A copy of the Shareholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 16. Jonathan D. Langer, a Managing Director of Goldman, Sachs & Co., where he is Head of US Acquisition for the Real Estate Principal Investment Area, is a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Each of the Reporting Persons expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Company's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions and other factors. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, any one or more of the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) may purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or may sell or transfer shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions and/or may enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of their positions in the shares of Common Stock or other securities and/or may cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Common Stock or other securities. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of any of their Company securities by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act") or other applicable law. To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto may make similar evaluations from time to time or on an ongoing basis and reserves the same rights.

SCHEDULE IV ----------- In November 2002, the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") alleged that five broker dealers, including Goldman Sachs, violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 17a-4 thereunder, NYSE Rules 440 and 342 and NASD Rules 3010 and 3110 by allegedly failing to preserve electronic mail communications for three years and/or to preserve electronic mail communications for the first two years in an accessible place, and by allegedly having inadequate supervisory systems and procedures in relation to the retention of electronic mail communications. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the five broker dealers, including Goldman Sachs, consented to censure by the SEC, NASD and NYSE and to the imposition of a cease-and-desist order by the SEC and Goldman Sachs paid a total fine of $1,650,000 ($550,000 each to the SEC, NASD and NYSE). Goldman Sachs also undertook to review its procedures regarding the preservation of electronic mail communications for compliance with the federal securities laws and regulations and the rules of the NASD and NYSE, and to confirm within a specified period of time that it has established systems and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with those laws, regulations and rules. On April 28, 2003, without admitting or denying liability, ten investment banking firms including Goldman Sachs, entered into global settlements with the SEC, the NYSE, the NASD and certain states to resolve the investigations relating to equity research analyst conflicts of interest. Goldman Sachs was charged with violating NYSE Rules 342, 401, 472 and 475, and NASD Conduct Rules 2110, 2210 and 3010. Goldman Sachs also agreed to a censure by the NYSE and the NASD and to pay a total of $110,000,000 and to adopt a set of industry-wide reforms of its research and investment banking businesses and to adopt certain restrictions on the allocations of "hot" IPO shares. The terms of the global settlement were entered in an order by a federal court in the Southern District of New York on October 31, 2003 (Civil Action Number 03CV2944). On September 4, 2003, Goldman Sachs and the SEC settled administrative proceedings relating to certain trading in U.S. Treasury securities by Goldman Sachs on the morning of October 31, 2001. The Staff of the SEC alleged that Goldman Sachs violated (i) Section 15(c)(1) and Rule 15c1-2 of the Exchange Act as a result of certain trading in U.S. Treasury bonds over an eight minute period on October 31, 2001; and (ii) Section 15(f) of the Exchange Act by failing to maintain policies and procedures specifically addressed to the possible misuse of non-public information obtained from outside consultants. Under the Offer of Settlement submitted by Goldman Sachs and accepted by the SEC, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Goldman Sachs consented to the entry of an Order that, among other things, (i) censured Goldman Sachs; (ii) directed Goldman Sachs to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 15(c)(1)(A) & (C) and 15(f) and Rule 15c1-2 of the Exchange Act; (iii) ordered Goldman Sachs to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest in the amount of $1,742,642, and a civil monetary penalty of $5 million; and (iv) directed Goldman Sachs to conduct a review its policies and procedures and to adopt, implement and maintain policies and procedures consistent with the Order and that review. Goldman Sachs also undertook to pay $2,562,740 in disgorgement and interest relating to certain trading in U.S. Treasury bond futures during the same eight minute period. On July 1, 2004, Goldman Sachs and the SEC settled administrative proceedings relating to communications from Goldman Sachs sales traders on its Asian Shares Sales Desk to certain institutional customers and news media concerning four international public securities offerings during the period between October 1999 and March 2000. The SEC alleged (i) that certain of these communications by Goldman Sachs employees were made after the registration statements pertaining to those offerings were filed, but not yet declared effective by the SEC, in violation of Section 5(b) of the Securities Act and (ii) that certain comments to the news media by Goldman Sachs with respect to one of the offerings constituted an offer to sell securities in violation of Section 5(c) of the Securities Act. The SEC also alleged that Goldman Sachs failed to adequately supervise the Asian Shares Sales Desk traders, as required by Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act. Under the Offer of Settlement submitted by Goldman Sachs and accepted by the SEC, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Goldman Sachs consented to the entry of an Order that, among other things, directed Goldman Sachs to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Sections 5(b) and 5(c) of the Securities Act., and ordered Goldman Sachs to pay a civil monetary penalty of $2 million. On January 24, 2005, the SEC filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Goldman Sachs violated Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by attempting to induce, or inducing certain investors to make, aftermarket purchases of certain initial public offerings underwritten by Goldman Sachs during 2000. On February 4, 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations of the complaint, a final judgment was entered against Goldman Sachs, with the consent of Goldman Sachs, under which Goldman Sachs was permanently restrained and enjoined from violating Rule 101 of Regulation M and required to pay a $40 million civil penalty, which was paid on March 31, 2005.
