On October 1, 2008, the Company entered into a fixed rate term agreement and related contracts and instruments for a secured mortgage loan totaling $115 million from Hartford Life Insurance Company, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company and Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the "Hartford Loan").

    Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by
    real estate investment trusts ("REITs") to measure and compare operating
    performance. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) before
    minority interest of unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP,
    accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America),
    excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property,
    plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding
    amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real
    estate assets) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
    joint ventures. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental
    measure of the Company's operating and financial performance because when
    compared year over year, it reflects the impact to operations from trends
    in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and
    administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not
    immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes
    that FFO provides useful information about the Company's financial
    performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized
    as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. FFO should
    neither be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of
    profitability nor is it comparable to cash flows provided by operating
    activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not comparable to
    similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define them
    exactly as we define FFO.
