<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">We believe that disclosure of an EBITDA metric that annualizes the most recent quarterly EBITDA results is the most meaningful presentation of this metric because it represents the Company&#146;s current earnings run rate at a given point in time.&#160; Twelve-month trailing EBITDA results could be misleading to an investor if our company had undergone significant acquisition or disposition activities, because it would not necessarily be indicative of our company&#146;s current financial position at the end of a period.&#160; Additionally, the use of this annualized EBITDA metric aligns with our definition of EBITDA in the performance share award agreements for our named executive officers (our &#147;<u>NEOs</u>&#148;), and is incorporated into the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, which is one of the metrics used to determine the amount of performance share awards granted to our NEOs.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">In future filings, we will add the <u>underlined</u> language below to the following paragraph currently included on page 45:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><u><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">Adjusted</font></u><font size="3" style="font-size:12.0pt;"> EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, means, for the most recent quarter, earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, including non-cash loss (gain) on swaps, (ii) income and franchise taxes, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) impairment losses, and (v) gain on sales of real estate. Our <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA may not be comparable to <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA reported by other companies that interpret the definitions of <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA differently than we do. Management believes <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA to be a meaningful measure of a REIT&#146;s performance because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors. <u>Management also believes the use of an annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDA metric is meaningful because it represents the Company&#146;s current earnings run rate for the period presented.</u> The ratio of our total debt to <u>our annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDA</u> is also used to determine vesting of performance share awards granted to our named executive officers. <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance. Our ratio of debt to <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA, which is used by management as a measure of leverage, is calculated by annualizing quarterly <u>Adjusted</u> EBITDA and then dividing by our total debt per the consolidated balance sheet.</font></p>
