        <footnote id="F1">On October 15, 2009, the reporting person effected an equity exchange pursuant to which the reporting person acquired 220,000 Depositary Receipts from a third party in a privately negotiated transaction in exchange for ownership interests in 13 properties consisting of an aggregate of 260,888 square feet of retail, office and residential space with a fair market value of approximately $11,581,744.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>The 220,000 Depositary Receipts were acquired by the Harold Brown 1999 Revocable Trust (the &quot;1999 Trust&quot;). Harold Brown is the sole beneficiary of the 1999 Trust during his lifetime and is a co-trustee of the 1999 Trust and exercises voting and dispositive control over the Depositary Receipts beneficially owned by the 1999 Trust. Accordingly, this Form 4 is being filed jointly by Mr. Brown and the 1999 Trust to report the direct beneficial ownership of the Depositary Receipts by the 1999 Trust and Mr. Brown's indirect beneficial ownership of the Depositary Receipts.</remarks>
