Material Changes Versus Prior Period

The Company terminated a previously announced purchase and sale agreement dated December 8, 2006, which involved a cash purchase of the same properties. This agreement was terminated on June 13, 2007, and replaced by the current Contribution Agreement involving equity issuance and debt assumption rather than an all-cash transaction.

Guidance, Outlook, and Terms

Closing Timeline: Expected by the end of the second quarter of 2007, subject to customary conditions.
Preferred Unit Terms:

• Priority: Priority over all other partnership interests for distributions and liquidation.
• Fixed Return: Approximately $115 million of the capital amount bears a fixed 5% priority return with a fixed liquidation value.
• Participating Portion: The remaining balance participates in distributions and liquidation value equal to common units.
• Redemption: Contributors may redeem units on or after September 1, 2008. Redemption may be satisfied in cash or common stock.

Risks/Contingencies: The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. The Contributor Loans are due upon the earlier of the redemption of the Preferred Units or the tenth anniversary of the loan.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the final closing date of the transaction (expected Q2 2007).
• Confirm the exact split between the fixed 5% return portion and the participating portion of the Series A Preferred Units.
• Review the full text of the Contribution Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific closing conditions and covenants.
• Monitor the Company's liquidity position regarding the $12 million debt prepayment and potential future redemption obligations.
• Assess the impact of the $100 million Contributor Loan on the Company's balance sheet and interest expense.
