EXHIBIT A

Since the telecommunications infrastructure tenants provide mission-critical services on a continuous basis, these tenants require buildings which have fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard electrical HVAC systems, raised floor areas to accommodate computer cables and below-floor cooling systems, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. According to research published in 2002 by Gartner, construction costs to build these high quality, specialized properties ranged from $300 to $1,000 per square foot of raised floor area.⁽¹⁾
