Set forth below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on shares of our
common stock against (i) the cumulative total return of all companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange and (ii) the cumulative total
return of the peer group set forth below which was selected by us. The period compared commences on February 4, 2005 and ends on
December 31, 2007. This graph assumes that $100 was invested on February 4, 2005 (the date of the initial public offering of our
common stock) in our common stock and in each of the market index and the peer group index at the closing price for the Company and
the other companies, and that all cash distributions were reinvested. Our common stock price performance shown on the graph is not
necessarily indicative of future price performance.
