II. Specific Skills/Experience
A. Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture Skills/Experience
As external counsel I have been the lead attorney on public company mergers, acquisitions of whole companies from private equity and bidding for, acquiring, restructuring and divesting of industrial facilities and complex non-building infrastructure. I have undertaken or closely supervised extensive contract due diligence exercises. I have undertaken and participated in the preparation of numerous requests for proposals and offering memoranda.

D. Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Skills/Experience
The nature and depth of my facility with real estate investment trust (REIT) concepts and structures is exemplified by the materials maintained on my open source data base (first launched in 2013) for infrastructure REITs at www.reitsourcebook.com. I am not a specialist in REIT tax law as such, but I am skilled in areas such as REIT lease compliance, REIT and taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) services, management agreements and real/personal property distinctions. Here[i] is the index of the comprehensive open-source infrastructure REIT source book that I maintain.
E. Creditors Rights Skills/Experience
I have provided counsel and advice to creditors and lessors in chapter 11 reorganizations of lease and contract counterparties. I have also provided counsel and advice in connection with efforts to fashion out-of-court resolutions and restructurings. I have specific skills with respect to Bankruptcy Code-based limitations on creditor claims based on rejection of leases of real property (Code section 502(b)(6)).
F. Investor Presentations
In addition to my compensated legal services, I analyze and present lease- and REIT-related topics to the investor community (formerly via UBS; now via Banc America Merrill Lynch). Here[ii] is a copy of my most recent investor presentation. Such presentation has links to the “open source” data bases that I have created and maintain. I invite you to view these data bases as they provide a good overview of my mastery of complexity.
