(f)

The citizenship of each of the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Person is set forth on Appendix A attached hereto, which appendix is incorporated herein by reference.

The Common Shares were purchased by the Reporting Person in multiple open market transactions between February 3, 2009 and March 5, 2009, for an aggregate investment cost (including commissions) of approximately $9,021,287. The Common Shares were purchased with the working capital of the Reporting Person.

Certain Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person are held in margin accounts. Such margin accounts are maintained at Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and may from time to time have debit balances. The interest rate charged on such margin accounts is the prime rate (currently 3.25%) plus a spread of between -0.71% to 2.00%, depending on the amount borrowed.

The Common Shares were acquired by the Reporting Person for investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to regularly review and evaluate its investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation, by way of discussions from time to time with management of the Issuer, the board of trustees of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other relevant parties, such as potential co-investors or partners, that may include matters relating to the financial condition, strategy, business, assets, operations, capital structure, corporate governance and strategic plans of the Issuer.

Depending on a variety of factors deemed relevant to the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person may also consider various alternatives that may ultimately lead to one or more possible transactions with respect to its investment in the Issuer. These factors may include the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of the discussions referenced above, actions taken by the board of trustees of the Issuer, price levels of the securities of the Issuer, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, the availability and cost of debt financing, conditions in the capital markets and general economic and industry conditions. In the course of such consideration, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time as it deems appropriate, discuss internally and communicate, publicly or privately, with management of the Issuer, the board of trustees of the Issuer, other holders of Common Shares, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of capital and other potential investors, regarding the Reporting Person’s holdings in the Issuer and its views on the strategic direction undertaken or that should be undertaken by the Issuer and other matters of interest to shareholders generally. Possible transactions may include, either alone or together with potential co-investors or partners, the acquisition of additional Common Shares (in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise), an acquisition of all outstanding Common Shares not currently owned by the Reporting Person, an acquisition of assets of the Issuer, proposing, whether alone or with others, a transaction that would result in a change-of-control of the Issuer or another form of extraordinary transaction. The Reporting Person may also choose to request a waiver of the ownership limitation provisions contained in the Issuer’s declaration of trust, which would otherwise restrict any person from beneficially owning more than 9.8% of the Common Shares. In addition, the Reporting Person may consider entering into financial instruments or other agreements which have the effect of increasing or decreasing the Reporting Person’s economic exposure with respect to the Common Shares, engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect the Common Shares, selling some or all of the Common Shares held by the Reporting Person and/or otherwise changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

CUSIP No.		751452202		Page		5		of		10

There can be no assurance as to (x) whether the Reporting Person will take any action with respect to its ownership of the Common Shares, or enter into any discussions with respect to its investment in the Issuer, (y) whether any such discussions will lead to any transaction, or the terms of any such transaction, or (z) the timing or certainty of any such transaction. Additionally, if the Reporting Person were to submit a proposal to the board of trustees of the Issuer with respect to any of the actions described above, the Reporting Person is not aware of how the board of trustees would react or whether the board of trustees would support or take any action with respect to any proposal. In reaching any conclusions regarding its investment, the Reporting Person will take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, prevailing market conditions and tax and other investment considerations.

Except as noted above, the Reporting Person, at this time, does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (i) any extraordinary transactions involving the Issuer or (ii) any of the other actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.		Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)		As of the close of business on March 5, 2009, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 1,790,000 Common Shares, constituting approximately 9.63% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. The approximate aggregate percentage of Common Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based on 18,583,362 Common Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2009.
(b)		The Reporting Person has the power to vote all of the Common Shares and to dispose of all of Common Shares beneficially owned by it.
(c)		The trading dates, number of shares purchased and price per share for all transactions in the Common Shares from the 60th day prior to March 5, 2009 by the Reporting Person are set forth in Appendix C.
(d)		No person other than the Reporting Person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds of sale of such Common Shares.
(e)		Not applicable.

ITEM 6.		Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Person does not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies. The Reporting Person reserves the right to enter into contracts, arrangements understandings or relationships with respect to the securities of the Issuer as described in Item 4.
