Participating securities include nonvested shares, certain time-based RSUs and vested market measure-based RSUs.

The impact of the contingently issuable units, which consist of the 4.25% Exchangeable Notes and stock options, were considered in our diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 because the Operating Partnership reported income from continuing operations attributable to common unitholders in the respective periods and the effect was dilutive. The impact of the contingently issuable shares were not considered in our diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 because the Operating Partnership reported a loss from continuing operations available to common unitholders in the respective periods and the effect was anti-dilutive.

The 2014 Performance-Based RSUs and our other nonvested market measure-based RSUs are not included in dilutive securities as of September 30, 2014 because they are not included until all the necessary performance conditions have been met. The impact of our nonvested market measure-based RSUs were not included in dilutive securities as of September 30, 2013 because they were not considered contingently issuable shares as not all the necessary performance conditions were met.
