Issuer by the Reporting Person on each of the dates listed in Item 5(a) and
during the 60 days prior to each such date. With respect to those acquisitions
of Units which resulted from the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock
by the Reporting Person, the consideration paid to the Issuer for each Unit
acquired was calculated based on the market value of the Common Stock on the New

from a redeeming limited partner of the Issuer, the consideration paid to such
limited partner was one share of Common Stock for each Unit tendered for
redemption. With respect to the Units disposed of by the Reporting Person as a
result of the Repurchase Program, each such Unit corresponds to the repurchase
by the Reporting Person of one share of its Common Stock.
