NOTE 6 - NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of June 30, 2012, limited partners of the Operating Partnership other than the Company owned 6,829,938 Common Units representing an approximate 18% 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 June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2012 and the period of February 14, 2011 through June 30, 2011 as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
