Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Shares vest at the beginning of each calendar quarter ending March 31, 2019; dividends are paid currently.
( 2)  Up to 50% of the shares may be earned based on the achievement of a three-year cumulative total shareholder return as compared to pre-established multi-level returns set by our compensation committee. If the cumulative shareholder return is less than or equal to 27.0% for the three-year period, no shares will be earned, whereas if a total shareholder return of 35.0% or greater is achieved for the same period, then 100% of these shares will be earned. At the end of the three-year performance period, any earned shares will be subject to an additional two years of ratable time-based vesting on an annual basis. Dividends are paid on these shares only upon achievement of the performance measures.
( 3)  The remaining 50% of the shares will be earned similar to that described above; however, the performance measure is against the MSCI US REIT Index (Index). If our total shareholder return over the three-year cumulative period is less than the Index minus 3%, then no shares will be earned, whereas if our total shareholder return is greater than the Index plus 3% for the same period, then 100% of these shares will be earned. At the end of the three-year performance period, any earned shares will be subject to an additional two years of ratable time-based vesting on an annual basis. Dividends are paid on these shares only upon achievement of the performance measures.
