 "straddle", "hedge", "conversion transaction", "synthetic security" or integrated investment, holders whose "functional currency" (as defined in the Code) is not the U.S. dollar, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons who acquired our shares through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services, partnerships and other pass-through entities (or arrangements treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and investors in such pass-through entities. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships (or entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or persons that hold our common shares through such partnerships. If a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partners and partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares.
