Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Excludes 2,491 Common Shares of Beneficial Interest sold by The Yale University Retirement Plan for Staff Employees ("YURPSE") at the same average per share sale price on 3/08/2006. See Exhibit 1 attached hereto for details of sales on 3/08/2006.
(2)	Represents the average per share sale price of shares sold on 3/08/2006. See Exhibit 1 attached hereto for details of sales on 3/08/2006.
(3)	Excludes 119,978 Common Shares of Beneficial Interest held by YURPSE. The Reporting Person has no pecuniary interest in the shares held by YURPSE and disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by YURPSE.
Remarks: An employee of Reporting Person serves on the Issuer's Board of Trustees. Because of his position on the Trust's Board, it is possible that Reporting Person's investment in the Issuer could be viewed as having the purpose or affect of changing or influencing the control of Issuer or that the employee could be viewed as serving on the Board as the deputy of Reporting Person. In order to avoid any question as to whether Reporting Person's beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form, Reporting Person has decided to file this Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4. This Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that Reporting Person is required to file beneficial ownership reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that the employee is serving on the Board of Trustees of Issuer as the deputy of Reporting Person or in any capacity other than his personal capacity.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
