NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
NOTE 6 -                      NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of March 31, 2012, limited partners of the Operating Partnership other than the Company owned 10,100,000 Common Units representing an approximate 27% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.  Beginning on or after February 14, 2012, pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, redemption rights of the limited partners other than the Company enable those limited partners, at their election, to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis.  The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividends, share subdivisions or combinations.
 
The Company classifies these Common Units as noncontrolling interests as a component of permanent equity on the March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The share of net loss allocated to these Common Units is reported on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period of February 14, 2011 through March 31, 2011 as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period from February 14, 2011 through March 31, 2011, no Common Units were redeemed.
