A spokesperson for the Company indicated that, "Although the Company currently expects to continue its conservative philosophy with respect to distributions throughout 2010, the amount of any future distributions will be subject to the performance of the Company's properties, its potential acquisitions and dispositions, the need for cash reserves and other factors, including, but not limited to, the continued volatility being exhibited in the global financial markets and the U.S. economy, the outcome of the pending property tax appeals related to certain of the Company's properties and the continued ability of the Company to favorably address vacancy at its commercial and retail properties. In addition, the actual amount and timing of all future distributions must be approved by the managing general partner's board of directors."
