        <footnote id="F1">On July 29, 2005, Mercury Real Estate Advisors, LLC (&quot;Advisors&quot;), a registered investment adviser, entered into a cash settled equity swap agreement with a securities broker (&quot;Broker&quot;) on behalf of Mercury Real Estate Securities Offshore Fund, Ltd. (&quot;MRESOF&quot;), for which Advisors serves as the investment adviser.  Mr.  David R. Jarvis and Mr.  Malcolm F. MacLean IV are managing members of Advisors.  The settlement date of the swap agreement is May 24, 2007. (Continued in Footnote 2)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On such date, MRESOF or Broker, as applicable, will be required to make a payment to the other such that the resulting economic effect of the swap arrangement will be as if (i) MRESOF paid Broker $26,969.00, representing $67.4225 for each share of BRN common stock subject to this agreement as of July 29, 2005, and (ii) Broker paid to MRESOF the market value of 400 shares of BRN common stock as of May 24, 2007.  Any dividends received by Broker on account of the common stock subject to this agreement will be paid to MRESOF and MRESOF will pay to Broker a finance charge.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This swap arrangement was entered into by Advisors on behalf of MRESOF.  Mr. Jarvis disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by MRESOF except to the extent of the pecuniary interest, if any, in such securities as a result of his membership interest in Advisors, which has a contingent right to receive a performance-based advisory fee from MRESOF.  That performance-based fee generally qualifies for the exemption set forth in Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(C).</footnote>
