(1) On December17, 2004 Mr. Braun exercised 58,000 Options to purchase Common Shares. He used 21,019 of his existing Common Shares to pay the exercise price of $326,000. The Common Shares were then distributed as follows: 21,019 were issued to Mr. Braun replacing those used to pay the exercise price and the balance of 36,981 Common Shares (the "Deferred Shares") were placed in a deferred account pursuant to an Agreement with the Company. Thus, Mr. Braun's aggregate number of Common Shares was increased from 34,361to 71,342. The Deferred Shares will not be received by Mr. Braun until termination of employment with the Company or a change in control of the Company. Mr. Braun will not be entitled to vote the Deferred Shares. Any dividends which accrue on such Deferred Shares will be payable in cash.
(2) Includes 7,361 vested Restricted Shares of a total of 35,876 Restricted Shares issued to Mr. Braun in 2000 through 2004. In addition, Mr. Braun owns 6,667 Operating Partnership Units.
(3) Represents the Deferred Shares.
(4) Includes the Deferred Shares.
(5) This filing corrects the previously reported filing of March 24, 2004 which overstated Mr. Braun's holding of Common Shares by 26,980.
