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) Although Mr. Cogdell has not received any derivative security that would require the filing of a Form 4,On March 31, 2008, Mr. Cogdell was granted 23,511 long term incentive plan units ("LTIP units") pursuant to Cogdell Spencer Inc.'s (the "Company") 2005 long-term stock incentive plan. The LTIP units may be convertible into limited partnership units ("OP units") in Cogdell Spencer LP (the "Operating Partnership"), if there is an increase in the value of the Operating Partnership's assets, which revaluation will occur upon the occurrence of certain events (each a "Book-up Event"). OP units are redeemable for a cash amount equal to the value of OP units or, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, exchangeable for shares of the Company's common stock based on an exchange ratio of one share of common stock for one OP unit.
(2) Of the 23,511 LTIP units granted to Mr. Cogdell, 20% of these LTIP units, or 4,702 LTIP units, vested on March 31, 2008, and the remaining 80%, or 18,809 LTIP units, will vest if, and when, the Company achieves certain performance standards. Upon a Book-up Event, some or all of the 23,511 LTIP units granted to Mr. Cogdell may be converted into OP units, thereby increasing the number of OP units owned by Mr. Cogdell by the corresponding number of LTIP units converted into OP units. At this time, there has been no transaction involving Mr. Cogdell that would require the filing of a Form 4 and this Form 4 is being filed for informational purposes only.
(3) Although not a derivative security, Mr. Cogdell owns an aggregate of 23,511 LTIP units. Mr. Cogdell also owns 901,298 OP units.

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