4. Represents the maximum number of LTIP Units that may vest pursuant to the 2021 and 2022 awards of Performance LTIP Units, which is 200% of the target number of LTIP Units. The actual number of Performance LTIP Units that may vest can range from 0% to 200% of the target number of Performance LTIP Units, based on achievement of specified performance metrics. Assuming continued service through the vesting date and minimum achievement of the specified performance metrics, the Performance LTIP Units will generally vest on December 31, 2023 (with respect to the 2021 grant) and December 31, 2024 (with respect to the 2022 grant).

5. Represents LTIP Units in the Subsidiary. Vested LTIP Units, upon achieving parity with the Common Partnership Units, are convertible into Common Partnership Units at the option of the Reporting Person.

7. The vested LTIP Units do not have an expiration date.

9. Represents the target number of common stock shares that may be issued pursuant to the award of Performance Stock Units. The actual number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the target number of Performance Stock Units reported, based on achievement of specified relative and total stockholder returns of the Issuer. Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified relative and total stockholder returns, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on December 31, 2025.
