All of the Any and All Notes that were tendered have been accepted for payment, with settlement expected to occur today. Payment for the Any and All Notes will come from the proceeds of the Operating Partnership's offering of senior notes, the success of which was a condition to the Any and All Tender Offer and the Maximum Tender Offer (as defined below). That condition has now been satisfied.

The Any and All Tender Offer was made pursuant to an offer to purchase dated March 24, 2010 (the "Offer to Purchase"), which set forth a complete description of the terms of the Any and All Tender Offer.
The Offer to Purchase also describes an offer by the Operating Partnership to purchase up to the maximum aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "5.625% Notes") and its 6.25% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "6.25% Notes") that it can purchase for an amount (excluding Accrued Interest ("Accrued Interest")), equal to $250,000,000 less the payment amount (excluding Accrued Interest) of Any and All Notes repurchased in the Any and All Tender Offer (the "Maximum Payment Amount"), provided that any purchase of the 6.25% Notes will be subject to an aggregate purchase sublimit of $50,000,000 principal amount (subject to increase, the "Level 2 Sublimit"). The Operating Partnership refers to its offer to purchase the Maximum Tender Offer Notes as the "Maximum Tender Offer."
Based upon the results of the Any and All Tender Offer, the Operating Partnership has set the Maximum Payment Amount for the Maximum Tender Offer as $180,001,805.
