Item 4. Ownership:

The reporting persons listed herein collectively, as a group,
control or share control of the power to vote and dispose of
2,398,387 Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") because each
controls or shares control of the power to vote and dispose of the
OP Units owned by the following four limited partnerships and one
corporation (collectively, the "Starwood Original Owners"):

Sofistar I, Limited Partnership
General Partner: Starwood Mortgage Investors III, Inc.

Breton/Hammocks Limited Partnership
General Partner: BSS Acquisition Partners I, L.P., the general
partner of which is Sternlicht Holdings III, Inc.

SCP Nashville Partners Limited Partnership
General Partner: Arbors Holdings, Inc.

Starwood Opportunity Fund I, L.P. 
General Partner: Starwood Capital Partners, L.P., the general
partner of which is BB Capital Partners, L.P., the general partners
of which are Sternlicht Holdings, Inc. and Faith Holdings, Inc.

Starwood Opportunity Fund IA, L.P.
General Partner: Starwood Capital Partners, L.P., the general
partner of which is BB Capital Partners, L.P., the general partners
of which are Sternlicht Holdings, Inc. and Faith Holdings, Inc.

Starwood Mortgage Investors III, Inc.

The general partners (and their general partners, as the case may
be) of each limited partnership listed above control the power to
vote and dispose of the OP Units held by each limited partnership. 
Each of Messrs. Sternlicht and Faith control or share control of
each of the Starwood Original Owners because such individuals
control or share control of the corporation and the general
partners of each limited partnership.  Such corporation and general
partners of the Starwood Original Owners are therefore listed as
reporting persons herein.  Because Messrs. Sternlicht and Faith
ultimately control or share control of the OP Units held by the
Starwood Original Owners, the beneficial ownership described below
shows both (i) the beneficial ownership of Messrs. Sternlicht and
Faith, which aggregates the OP Units held by the Starwood Original
Owners and (ii) the beneficial ownership of the corporation and the
general partners of the Starwood Original Owners.                 
 
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned:

Barry S. Sternlicht: 2,398,387 (1)

________________

(1) Each of Messrs. Sternlicht and Faith may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 2,398,387 OP Units because each controls or
shares control of the power to vote and dispose of the OP Units
owned by the Starwood Original Owners.  Messrs. Sternlicht and
Faith control or share control of the Starwood Original Owners by
their ownership and control of the corporation and the general
partners (and their respective general partners, as the case may
be) of each limited partnership included in the Starwood Original
Owners.  However, Messrs. Sternlicht and Faith disclaim ownership
of 2,099,706 OP Units and 2,124,377 OP Units, respectively, because
the economic benefits with respect to such OP Units are
attributable to other partners in the Starwood Original Owners.
