manages multifamily apartment communities generally located in high barrier-to-entry markets located throughout the United States. The high barrier-to-entry markets are characterized by limited land for new construction, difficult and lengthy
entitlement process, expensive single-family home prices and significant employment growth potential. At December&nbsp;31, 2011, our consolidated apartment portfolio included 163 communities located in 22 markets, with a total of 47,343 completed
apartment homes, which are held through the Operating Partnership and our subsidiaries. In addition, we have an ownership interest in 39 communities containing 10,496 completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures. At
December&nbsp;31, 2011, the Company is developing seven wholly-owned communities with 2,108 apartment homes, 145 of which have been completed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. As a qualified REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income to the extent we distribute such income to
our stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We were formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation and reincorporated in the State of Maryland in June 2003.

Partnership could be treated as a disguised sale of all or a portion of the property contributed, in which gain or loss is recognized. The provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations addressing disguised sales (the &#147;Disguised Sale
Regulations&#148;) generally provide that if a partner contributes property to a partnership and the partnership later directly or indirectly transfers money, property, or other consideration to the partner, the transactions will be treated as a
&#147;disguised sale&#148; unless certain exceptions apply or the facts and circumstances clearly establish that no sale has occurred. If at least two years pass between the contribution by the partner and the transfer by the partnership, the
Disguised Sale Regulations presume that the transactions are not a disguised sale unless the facts and circumstances clearly establish a disguised sale. There can be no assurance that the IRS might not seek to contend that the Disguised Sale

income tax purposes, Treasury regulations provide that we are deemed to own our proportionate share of the partnership&#146;s assets, and to earn our proportionate share of the partnership&#146;s income, for purposes of the asset and gross income
tests applicable to REITs. Our proportionate share of a partnership&#146;s assets and income is based on our capital interest in the partnership (except that for purposes of the 10% value test, our proportionate share of the partnership&#146;s
assets is based on our proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by the partnership). In addition, the assets and gross income of the partnership are deemed to retain the same character in our hands. Thus, our
proportionate share of the assets and items of income of any of our subsidiary partnerships will be treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT requirements. A summary of certain rules governing the federal income
taxation of partnerships and their partners is provided below in &#147;Tax Aspects of Investments in Affiliated Partnerships.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

all of the subsidiary&#146;s assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit, including for purposes of the gross income and asset tests applicable to
REITs. A qualified REIT subsidiary is any corporation, other than a TRS that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by a REIT. Other entities that are wholly-owned by us, including single member limited liability companies that have not elected to
be taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes, are also generally disregarded as separate entities for federal income tax purposes, including for purposes of the REIT income and asset tests. Disregarded subsidiaries, along with any
partnerships in which UDR holds an equity interest, are sometimes referred to herein as &#147;pass-through subsidiaries.&#148; </FONT></P>

subsidiary is acquired by a person other than us or another disregarded subsidiary of ours&nbsp;&#151; the subsidiary&#146;s separate existence would no longer be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, the subsidiary would have
multiple owners and would be treated as either a partnership or a taxable corporation. Such an event could, depending on the circumstances, adversely affect our ability to satisfy the various asset and gross income requirements applicable to REITs,
including the requirement that REITs generally may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the securities of another corporation. See &#147;&#151; Asset Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151; Income Tests.&#148; </FONT></P>

the subsidiary corporation as a TRS. We generally may not own more than 10% of the securities of a taxable corporation, as measured by voting power or value, unless we and such corporation elect to treat such corporation as a TRS. The separate
existence of a TRS or other taxable corporation is not ignored for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a TRS or other taxable corporation generally would be subject to corporate income tax on its earnings, which may reduce the cash flow

earns. Rather, the stock issued by a taxable subsidiary to us is an asset in our hands, and we treat the dividends paid to us from such taxable subsidiary, if any, as income. This treatment can affect our income and asset test calculations, as
described below. Because we do not include the assets and income of TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations in determining our compliance with the REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake indirectly activities that the REIT
rules might otherwise preclude us from doing directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. For example, we may use TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations to conduct activities that give rise to certain categories of income such as management
fees or to conduct activities that, if conducted by us directly, would be treated as prohibited transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Income Tests

partnerships are &#147;pass-through&#148; entities that are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Rather, partners are allocated their proportionate shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a partnership, and potentially
are subject to tax on these items, without regard to whether the partners receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our income our proportionate share of these partnership items for purposes of the various REIT income tests and
in computation of our REIT taxable income. Moreover, for purposes of the REIT asset tests, we will include in our calculations our proportionate share of any assets held by subsidiary partnerships. Our proportionate share of a partnership&#146;s
assets and income is based on our capital interest in the partnership (except that for purposes of the 10% value test, our proportionate share is based on our proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by the
partnership). See &#147;Taxation of UDR&nbsp;&#151; Effect of Subsidiary Entities&nbsp;&#151; Ownership of Partnership&nbsp;Interests.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT

considerations, including the possibility of a challenge by the IRS of the status of any subsidiary partnership as a partnership, as opposed to an association taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If any of these entities
were treated as an association for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation and therefore could be subject to an entity-level tax on its income. In such a situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income
would change and could preclude us from satisfying the REIT asset tests or the income tests as discussed in &#147;Taxation of UDR&nbsp;&#151; Asset Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151; Income Tests,&#148; and in turn could prevent us from qualifying as a
REIT, unless we are eligible for relief from the violation pursuant to the relief provisions described above. See &#147;Taxation of UDR &#151;&nbsp;Asset Tests,&#148; &#147;&#151; Income Test&#148; and &#147;&#151; Failure to Qualify,&#148; above,
for discussion of the effect of failure to satisfy the REIT tests for a taxable year, and of the relief provisions. In addition, any change in the status of any subsidiary partnership for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which
case we could have taxable income that is subject to the REIT distribution requirements without receiving any cash. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated
property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for tax purposes so that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated
with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution, and the adjusted tax
basis of such property at the time of contribution (a &#147;book-tax difference&#148;). Such allocations are solely for federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the
partners. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To the extent that any of our subsidiary partnerships acquires appreciated (or depreciated) properties by way of
capital contributions from its partners, allocations would need to be made in a manner consistent with these requirements. Where a partner contributes cash to a partnership at a time that the partnership holds appreciated (or depreciated) property,
the Treasury regulations provide for a similar allocation of these items to the other (i.e., non-contributing) partners. These rules may apply to a contribution that we make to any subsidiary partnerships of the cash proceeds received in offerings
of our stock. As a result, the partners of our subsidiary partnerships, including us, could be allocated greater or lesser amounts of depreciation and taxable income in respect of a partnership&#146;s properties than would be the case if all of the
partnership&#146;s assets (including any contributed assets) had a tax basis equal to their fair market values at the time of any contributions to that partnership. This could cause us to recognize, over a period of time, taxable income in excess of
cash flow from the partnership, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements discussed above. </FONT></P>

qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they may be subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI. While some
investments in real estate may generate UBTI, the IRS has ruled that dividend distributions from a REIT to a tax-exempt entity do not constitute UBTI. Based on that ruling, and provided that (1)&nbsp;a tax-exempt stockholder has not held our stock
as &#147;debt financed property&#148; within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., where the acquisition or holding of the property is financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt stockholder), and (2)&nbsp;our stock is not otherwise
used in an unrelated trade or business, distributions that we make and income from the sale of our stock generally should not give rise to UBTI to a tax-exempt stockholder. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Tax-exempt stockholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services plans exempt from federal income
taxation under sections&nbsp;501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and (c)(20) of the Internal Revenue Code are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally require such stockholders to characterize distributions that we make as UBTI. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In certain circumstances, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of our stock could be required to treat a percentage of the dividends
as UBTI if we are a &#147;pension-held REIT.&#148; We will not be a pension-held REIT unless (1)&nbsp;we are required to &#147;look through&#148; one or more of our pension trust stockholders in order to satisfy the REIT &#147;closely-held&#148;
test, and (2)&nbsp;either (i)&nbsp;one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our stock, or (ii)&nbsp;one or more pension trusts, each individually holding more than 10% of the value of our stock, collectively owns more than 50% of the
value of our stock. Certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock generally should prevent a tax-exempt entity from owning more than 10% of the value of our stock and generally should prevent us from becoming a pension-held REIT.

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The present federal income tax treatment of an investment in us may be modified by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time and that any such action may affect investments and
commitments previously made. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process, the IRS and the Treasury, resulting in revisions of regulations and revised interpretations of
established concepts as well as statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations of these laws could adversely affect the tax consequences of your investment. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, legislation was enacted on March&nbsp;18, 2010 that will impose a 30% U.S. withholding tax on U.S. source dividends and on
the gross proceeds from a disposition of property that produces such income, paid to a foreign financial institution, unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and provide to the Treasury
Department certain information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, with such institution. The legislation also generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on such amounts when
paid to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of the
entity. Under certain circumstances, a taxpayer may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. These withholding and reporting requirements generally will apply to payments made after December&nbsp;31, 2012. However, the withholding tax will
not be imposed on payments pursuant to debt obligations outstanding as of March&nbsp;18, 2012 and the IRS has issued a notice indicating that any withholding obligations will begin no earlier than January 2014. </FONT></P>

(i)&nbsp;is a corporation or qualifies for certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact; or (ii)&nbsp;provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and
otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A stockholder who does not provide us with its correct taxpayer identification number also may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Backup withholding will generally not apply to payments of dividends made by us or our paying agents, in their capacities as such, to a

Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient. Payments of the net proceeds from a disposition
or a redemption effected outside the U.S. by a non-U.S. stockholder made by or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting (but not backup
withholding) generally will apply to such a payment if the broker has certain connections with the U.S. unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner is a non-U.S. stockholder and specified conditions are met or
an exemption is otherwise established. Payment of the net proceeds from a disposition by a non-U.S. stockholder of stock made by or through the U.S. office of a broker is generally subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the
non-U.S. stockholder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding. </FONT></P>
