Set forth below are several non-GAAP financial measures that are included in the attached press release together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $11.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share. In our press release referred to above, we disclose Funds From Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as adjusted for impairment losses and acquisition costs, to be $23.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share and unit for the three months ended December 31, 2010. In our press release, we also disclose FFO including impairment losses and acquisition costs of $5.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share and unit for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $3.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, FFO, as adjusted was $26.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share and unit.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $37.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share. For the year ended December 31, 2010, FFO adjusted for impairment losses, debt modification costs, and acquisition costs was $93.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share and unit. FFO including impairment losses of $12.0 million, debt modification costs of $1.1 million and acquisition costs of $1.2 million was $0.33 per diluted common share and unit during the year ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $18.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share. For the year ended December 31, 2009, FFO, as adjusted was $112.4 million or $0.50 per diluted common share and unit.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Loss From Continuing Operations was $12.1 million. In our press release referred to above, we disclose our net operating income, or NOI, to be $43.0 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, Loss From Continuing Operations was $3.8 million. In our press release referred to above, we disclose our NOI to be $43.9 million for the same period in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Loss From Continuing Operations was $40.2 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our Loss From Continuing Operations increased $8.3 million from a loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to a loss of $12.1 million for the same period in 2010. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that our same store NOI excluding lease termination fees for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased 5.7% compared to the same period in 2009 and decreased 6.7% on a cash-adjusted basis.

Our percentage of debt to total assets was 44.5% and 42.7% at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that the percentage of net debt to book value of total assets, excluding cash and accumulated depreciation and amortization, was 37.0% and 36.1%, for the same periods. We believe that this percentage, calculated using debt, reduced for existing cash balances and total assets, excluding accumulated depreciation and amortization, is a useful supplemental measure of our leverage. The market value of real estate assets often does not decline in the formulaic manner in which depreciation and amortization accrues with respect to those assets for GAAP accounting purposes. Accordingly, we believe that providing a supplemental measure of our leverage, reduced for existing

cash balances, based on the book value of our total assets, excluding existing cash balances and the cumulative effect of these depreciation and amortization accruals, provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of our leverage.
