(4) The LTIP Units reported herein vest and are convertible in three (3) equal installments over a three (3) year term from the date of the award. See Footnote 3 discussing the convertibility of vested LTIP Units.

(11) Reflects the aggregate number of Common Partnership Units currently held directly or indirectly, as noted, by the Reporting Person, some of which may have been converted from LTIP Units by the Reporting Person since the Reporting Person's most recent Form 4 or Form 5 filing.
