LTIP Units are a class of partnership interest that automatically convert into an equal number of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") when the capital account related to the LTIP Units reaches a specified target for federal income tax purposes (provided such target is reached within ten years of issuance). Subject to any vesting requirements of the grant, OP Units are redeemable by the holder for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at the Company's option. The LTIPs reflected in this report also include any OP Units into which such LTIP Units automatically convert. The LTIP Units are scheduled to vest on March 14, 2016. If the reporting person is retirement eligible (whether through the Rule of 70 or being age 62 or older) these LTIP Units will be forfeited if the reporting person voluntarily leaves the Company prior to or on December 31, 2013. s/ By: Jane Matz, Attorney-in-fact 2013-03-18
