(the "Issuer") is the general partner. Long-term incentive units receive the same quarterly distributions as common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership ("Common Units"). 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. 1-for-1 Twenty-five percent (25%) of these units will vest on February 27, 2017, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) will vest on February 27, 2018, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) will vest on February 27, 2019, and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) will vest on February 27, 2020 N/A This statement of changes in beneficial ownership of securities ("Form 4") of the Issuer is being filed to report transactions that are being reported concurrently on a Form 4 for the Operating Partnership. The changes in beneficial ownership reported on this Form 4 for the Issuer are as a result of the same transactions reported in the Form 4 for the Operating Partnership. /s/ Salini Nandipati, attorney-in-fact 2016-03-11
