(1) Options will vest in four equal annual installments upon each anniversary of December 31, 2006.
(2) Represents long-term incentive units ("LTIP Units") in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). The Issuer is the sole stockholder of the general partner of the Operating Partnership. LTIP Units will initially not have full parity with common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership; however, long-term incentive units may over time achieve full parity with common units in the Operating Partnership for all purposes, and thereafter may be converted into an equal number of common units of the Operating Partnership on a one-for-one basis at any time. Common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership are redeemable commencing fourteen months from the Transaction Date for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Issuer's common stock, or, at the election of the Issuer, an equal number of shares of the Issuer's common stock.
(3) LTIP Units are convertible to common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis.
(4) LTIP Units will vest in four equal annual installments upon each anniversary of December 31, 2006.
(5) Not applicable.
(6) Represents limited partnership units ("LP Units") in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). The Issuer is the sole stockholder of the general partner of the Operating Partnership. LP Units are redeemable fourteen months from the Transaction Date for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Issuer's common stock, or, at the election of the Issuer, an equal number of shares of the Issuer's common stock.
(7) LP Units are convertible to common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis.
(8) The LP Units were received in exchange for the direct or indirect contribution to Douglas Emmett Properties, LP, of which the Issuer is the sole stockholder of the general partner, of certain partnership, membership or ownership interests in certain partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations which own and manage, directly or indirectly, certain properties in southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii. The value of the LP Units was $21.00 per LP Unit as of the Transaction Date, based on the price of the common stock of the Issuer at the time of the Issuer's initial public offering.
