Following the completion of the Blackstone transaction, we will have sold 25 assets for $586 million since the beginning of 2005. This group of 25 properties contributed over $30 million in adjusted EBITDA2 for the full year 2005.

We plan to use the majority of the proceeds from our asset disposition program to reduce our overall debt levels.
