build-to-suit lease arrangements where we are involved in the

considered the owner of the assets during the construction period.
Accordingly, as the landlord incurs the construction project costs,
the assets and corresponding financial obligation are recorded in
“Fixed assets, net” and “Other long-term
liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. Once the
construction is completed, if the lease meets certain
“sale-leaseback” criteria, we will remove the asset and
related financial obligation from the balance sheet and treat the
building lease as an operating lease. If upon completion of
construction, the project does not meet the
“sale-leaseback” criteria, the leased property will be
treated as a capital lease for financial reporting
purposes.</font></p>
