        <footnote id="F1">On October 24, 2005, Mercury Real Estate Advisors, LLC (&quot;Advisors&quot;), a registered investment adviser, entered into a cash settled equity swap agreement with a securities broker (&quot;Broker&quot;) on behalf of Mercury Special Situations Offshore Fund, Ltd. (&quot;MSSOF&quot;), for which Advisors serves as the investment adviser.  Mr.  David R. Jarvis and Mr.  Malcolm F. MacLean IV are managing members of Advisors.  The settlement date of the swap agreement is May 24, 2007. (Continued to Footnote 2)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On such date, MSSOF or Broker, as applicable, will be required to make a payment to the other such that the resulting economic effect of the swap arrangement will be as if (i) MSSOF paid Broker $101,062, representing $77.74 for each depositary receipt of NEN subject to this agreement as of October 24, 2005, and (ii) Broker paid to MSSOF the market value of 1,300 depositary receipts of NEN as of May 24, 2007.  Any dividends received by Broker on account of the depositary receipts subject to this agreement will be paid to MSSOF and MSSOF will pay to Broker a finance charge.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">On October 24, 2005, Advisors entered into a cash settled equity swap agreement with Broker on behalf of certain managed accounts (the &quot;Managed Accounts&quot;), for which Advisors serves as the investment adviser.  The settlement date of the swap agreement is May 24, 2007.  On such date, the Managed Accounts or Broker, as applicable, will be required to make a payment to the other such that the resulting economic effect of the swap arrangement will be as if (i) the Managed Accounts paid Broker $15,548, representing $77.74 for each depositary receipt of NEN subject to this agreement as of October 24, 2005, and (ii) Broker paid to the Managed Accounts the market value of 200 depositary receipts of NEN as of May 24, 2007.  Any dividends received by Broker on account of the depositary receipts subject to this agreement will be paid to the Managed Accounts and the Managed Accounts will pay to Broker a finance charge.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">These swap arrangements were entered into by Advisors on behalf of  MSSOF and the Managed Accounts.  Mr. Jarvis disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by MSSOF and the Managed Accounts, except to the extent of the pecuniary interest, if any, in such securities as a result of his membership interest in Advisors, which has a contingent right to receive a performance-based advisory fee from MSSOF and the Managed Accounts.  That performance-based fee generally qualifies for the exemption set forth in Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(C).</footnote>
