Our asset management and environmental teams continuously monitor our properties for potential contamination, exposure to natural disasters and other environmental risks, including:

| ■ | Maintaining comprehensive pollution insurance coverage for our properties with higher environmental risk exposure, thus ensuring that should an unforeseen environmental issue arise there is supportive financial resources available to conduct safe and timely remediation; |

| ■ | Preparing for natural disasters by carrying appropriate insurance coverage for our properties that we believe is adequate given the relative risk of loss, insurance coverages provided by our tenants and industry best practices; and |

| ■ | If applicable, requiring the seller to provide for remediation of environmental impacts in compliance with applicable laws prior to acquiring the property. |
