        <footnote id="F1">These common shares represent restricted shares issued under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and are subject to risk of forfeiture.  The common shares have a vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of the Company's annual meeting of shareholders in 2012.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These phantom shares were acquired through reinvestment of dividend equivalents under the U-Store-It Trust Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan, amended and restated January 1, 2007, and are payable in cash on a one-for-one basis after the reporting person ceases to serve as a trustee of the Company.  The reporting person may elect to transfer these phantom shares at any time by reallocating his deemed investment option to another investment alternative, and such transfer will be effected on the first business day of the calendar quarter following the election.</footnote>
