No earl y termination penalties were incurred by the Company as a result of this termination.

The foregoing description of the termination agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Agreement Concerning Ground Lease, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for period ending January 23, 2009.
