INVESTOR PRESENTATION September 2016

Forward-Looking Statements Some of the statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:  changes in the real estate industry, particularly in those markets in which our properties are located;  our ability to raise equity or debt capital;  the future amount of leasing activity and occupancy rates at our properties;  the future rent rates we will be able to charge at our properties;  the costs we may incur to lease space in our properties;  our ability to declare or pay distributions to our shareholders and the amounts of such distributions;  the credit quality of our tenants;  the likelihood that our tenants will pay rent, renew leases, enter into new leases or be affected by cyclical economic conditions;  our sales of properties;  our ability to compete for tenancies effectively;  our ability to pay interest on and principal of our debt;  our ability to obtain credit facilities, and the availability of borrowings under those credit facilities; and  our tax status as a REIT. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We calculate annualized rental revenue by aggregating the recurring billings outlined above for the most recent month during the quarter reported, adding abated rent, and multiplying the sum by 12 to provide an estimation of near-term potentially-recurring revenues. As of 4Q 2014, ARR included revenue from straight line rent adjustments and excluded revenue during free rent periods. 4 September 2016
