The OP unit holders will act independently in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of any sale or non-sale related transfer. TheOP unit holders may sell these shares in one or more transactions at the market price for our common stock prevailing at the time of sale, a price related to theprevailing market price, a negotiated price or such other price as the OP unit holders determine from time to time.
