        <footnote id="F1">Class C profits interest units (&quot;Class C Units&quot;) are partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Subject to the grantee's continuous service with the issuer, sixty percent of the Class C Units will vest on May 1, 2010 and thereafter 1-2/3% will vest monthly, except that 100% of the Class C Units will vest upon a change in control of the issuer, provided in each case that the cumulative return to the issuer's common stockholders as measured from May 1, 2007 through certain specified dates exceeds certain targets. Upon vesting, Class C Units will be treated in the same manner as long-term incentive units. Long-term incentive units receive the same quarterly distributions as common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership (&quot;Common Units&quot;). (Continued on Footnote 2.)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Upon vesting, long-term incentive units may initially not have full parity with Common Units with respect to liquidating distributions; however, upon the occurrence of specified events, long-term incentive units may achieve full parity with Common Units for all purposes, and thereafter vested long-term incentive units may be converted into an equal number of Common Units on a one-for-one basis at any time. Common Units will be redeemable for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the issuer's common stock, or, at the election of the issuer, for an equal number of shares of the issuer's common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions or similar events.</footnote>
