Explanatory Notes:

(1)

Holders of shares of the Series D, E, F, G and I preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Dividends are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on or before the 15th day of each March, June, September and December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. Any dividend payable on the preferred stock for any partial dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as of the close of business on the first day of the calendar month in which the applicable dividend payment date falls or on another date designated by the Board of Directors of the Company for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to the dividend payment date.


(2)	The Company declared and paid dividends aggregating $4.0 million, $5.5 million, $3.9 million, $3.1 million and $4.7 million on its Series D, E, F, G, and I preferred stock, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2012. There are no dividend arrearages on any of the preferred shares currently outstanding.

Dividends—In order to maintain its election to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to avoid paying corporate federal income taxes. The Company has recorded net operating losses and may record net operating losses in the future, which may reduce its taxable income in future periods and lower or eliminate entirely the Company's obligation to pay dividends for such periods in order to maintain its REIT qualification. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and certain asset impairments), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient dividend payments. The Company's 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and 2011 Secured Credit Facilities permit the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT. The 2012 and 2011 Secured Credit Facilities restrict the Company from paying any common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. The Company did not declare or pay any Common Stock dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Stock Repurchase Programs—On May 16, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of its Common Stock from time to time in open market and privately negotiated purchases, including pursuant to one or more trading plans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its outstanding Common Stock for approximately $4.6 million, at an average cost of $5.69 per share. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $16.0 million of Common Stock available to repurchase under its Board authorized stock repurchase programs.
