An operating partnership unit and an LTIP unit have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership. In conjunction with the formation of the Operating Partnership, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received operating partnership units. In addition, certain employees of the Operating Partnership have received LTIP units in connection with services rendered or to be rendered to the Operating Partnership. Limited partners who have been issued OP units have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units, which right with respect to LTIP units is subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions. The general partner of the Operating Partnership may elect to acquire OP units upon redemption in exchange for shares of the Parent Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events, or pay cash based upon the fair-market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Parent Company's common stock at the time of redemption. The Parent Company owned </font><font style="font-family: inherit; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none;" class="_mt">97.8%</font><font style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt"> of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at </font><font style="font-family: inherit; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none;" class="_mt">March 31, 2011</font><font style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt">, is the Operating Partnership's general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership's business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner's notice of redemption. In addition, the general partner of the Operating Partnership has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner's notice of redemption in exchange for shares of the Parent Company's common stock. The </font><font style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt">redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 120%; text-indent: 18px; font-size: 10pt;"><font style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10pt;" class="_mt">LTIP units represent a profits interest in the Operating Partnership for services rendered or to be rendered by the LTIP unitholder in its capacity as a partner, or in anticipation of becoming a partner, in the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP units do not have full parity with operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership with respect to liquidating distributions, although LTIP unitholders receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as operating partnership units and may vote the LTIP units from the date of issuance. The LTIP units are subject to vesting requirements, which lapse over a specified period of time (normally three to five years from the date of issuance). In addition, the LTIP units are generally subject to a two-year lock-up period from the date of issuance during which time the LTIP units may not be redeemed or sold by the LTIP unitholder. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP units may over time achieve full parity with operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership for all purposes. Upon achieving full parity, and after the expiration of any vesting and lock-up periods, LTIP units may be redeemed for an equal number of shares of the Parent Company's common stock or cash, at the Parent Company's election, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership.</font></div>

Distributions are cumulative on the Series A preferred units from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.84375 per unit each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit.

The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions.
