a. The Grantee is hereby granted an Award, consisting of the number of LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Award LTIP Units”), which will be subject to (i) forfeiture to the extent provided in this Section 3 and (ii) vesting as provided in Section 3(c) and Section 4 hereof.

b. As soon as practicable following each Valuation Date, but as of such Valuation Date, the Committee will determine the applicable Annual Pool.

c. As soon as practicable following the Second Valuation Date, but as of the Second Valuation Date, the Committee will determine the Interim Pool.

d. As soon as practicable following the Final Valuation Date, but as of the Final Valuation Date, the Committee will:

(i) determine the Final Absolute TRS Pool;

(ii) determine the Final Relative TRS Pool;

(iii) determine the Total Outperformance Pool;

(iv) multiply the Total Outperformance Pool by the Grantee’s Participation Percentage; and

(v) divide the resulting dollar amount by the Common Stock Price calculated as of the Valuation Date (appropriately adjusted to the extent that the Conversion Factor is greater or less than 1.0); the resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “Total OPP Unit Equivalent.”

Exhibit A hereto sets forth a hypothetical example of the calculation of the Final Absolute TRS Pool, the Final Relative TRS Pool and the Total Outperformance Pool, without regard to the calculation of any Annual Pool or the Interim Pool, based on factual assumptions as of the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Exhibit A is merely illustrative and will not control the determination of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent as of the Final Valuation Date. If the Total OPP Unit Equivalent is smaller than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, the Grantee shall forfeit the number of Award LTIP Units equal to the difference without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer only to the Award LTIP Units that were not so forfeited and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will have any further rights or interests in the Award LTIP Units that were so forfeited. If the Total OPP Unit Equivalent is greater than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee: (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award LTIP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award; and (C) the Company and the Partnership shall take such action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws. If the Total OPP Unit Equivalent is the same as the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of Award LTIP Units under this Award.

e. If any of the Award LTIP Units have been earned based on performance as provided in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d), subject to Section 4 hereof, the Award LTIP Units shall become vested in the following amounts and at the following times, provided that the Continuous Service of the Grantee must continue through the applicable vesting date or the accelerated vesting date provided in Section 4 hereof, as applicable:

(i) twenty-five percent (25%) on February 28, 2015;

(ii) twenty-five percent (25%) on February 28, 2016; and

(iii) fifty percent (50%) on February 28, 2017.

To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this Section 3(e), the provisions of Schedule A will govern.

f. Any Award LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 4 hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Award LTIP Units.

4. Termination of Grantee’s Service; Death and Disability; Change of Control.

a. If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement and ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, the provisions of Sections 4(b) through 4(h) hereof shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award LTIP Units exclusively, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Agreement and provide that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award LTIP Units. The foregoing sentence will be deemed an amendment to any applicable Service Agreement to the extent required to apply its terms consistently with this Section 4, such that, by way of illustration, any provisions of the Service Agreement with respect to accelerated vesting or payout or the lapse of forfeiture restrictions relating to the Grantee’s incentive or other compensation awards in the event of certain types of terminations of the Grantee’s service relationship with the Company (such as, for example, termination at the end of a term, termination without Cause) shall not be interpreted as requiring that any calculations set forth in Section 3 hereof be performed or vesting occur with respect to this Award other than as specifically provided in this Section 4. In the event an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of all employees of that entity for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the Committee or the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for the lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or accelerated vesting of some or all of the Grantee’s remaining unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited, effective immediately prior to such event. If a Change of Control occurs, Section 4(h) hereof shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award LTIP Units exclusively.

b. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service by (A) the Company without Cause or failure by the Company to renew a Service Agreement, or (B) the Grantee for “Good Reason” (as defined in the applicable Service Agreement) to the extent that the Grantee is entitled to resign for “Good Reason” in accordance with such Grantee’s Service Agreement (each a “Qualified Termination”) prior to the Final Valuation Date, the calculations provided in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall be performed as of the Valuation Date next following such termination (and if such Valuation Date is not the Final Valuation Date, on the Final Valuation Date as well) as if the Qualified Termination had not occurred and the Grantee shall be entitled to the higher Total OPP Unit Equivalent determined by such calculations and such Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall no longer be subject to forfeiture hereunder, provided that the Grantee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 6 hereof) his or her Award LTIP Units or request redemption of his or her Award OP Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Total OPP Unit Equivalent would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) absent a Qualified Termination.

c. In the event of a Qualified Termination after the Final Valuation Date, all unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof shall no longer be subject to forfeiture hereunder, provided that the transfer restrictions described in subsection (b) above shall continue to apply.

d. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any payment to be made hereunder after giving effect to this Section 4 is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Covered Award”), and the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, any payments to be made during the six-month period commencing on the Grantee’s “separation from service” date (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed until the earlier of the expiration of such six-month period and the Grantee’s death.

e. In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability prior to the Final Valuation Date, the Grantee will not forfeit the Award LTIP Units, but the following provisions of this Section 4(e) shall apply:

(i) the calculations provided in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall be performed as of the Valuation Date next following the Grantee’s death or Disability as if the Grantee’s death or termination due to Disability had not occurred; and

(ii) 100% of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Valuation Date.

f. In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability after the Final Valuation Date, all unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof shall vest immediately and automatically.

g. In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service relationship other than by a Qualified Termination or by reason of death or Disability, all Award LTIP Units except for those that, as of the date at such termination, both (i) have ceased to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof and (ii) are vested pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Award LTIP Units.

h. In the event that upon or following a Change in Control the Grantee terminates his or her Continuous Service due to an Adverse Change prior to the Final Valuation Date, the calculations provided in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall be performed as of the Valuation Date next following such termination (and if such Valuation Date is not the Final Valuation Date, on the Final Valuation Date as well) as if such termination of Continuous Service had not occurred and the Grantee shall be entitled to the higher Total OPP Unit Equivalent determined by such calculations and such Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall be deemed to have vested immediately and automatically upon the date of such termination of his or her Continuous Service. If a Valuation Date occurs prior to the occurrence of termination of Continuous Service due to an Adverse Change, all unvested Award LTIP Units that were earned pursuant to the calculations set forth in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) hereof shall vest immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of the Change of Control. An “Adverse Change” means a substantial adverse change upon or following a Change in Control, not consented to by the Grantee, in the nature or scope of the Grantee’s responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions, or duties from the responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties exercised by the Grantee as of the Effective Date (or as increased following the Effective Date); provided that, the Grantee must: (1) provide written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the event constituting an “Adverse Change;” (2) may not terminate his or her Continuous Service unless the Company fails to remedy the event constituting an “Adverse Change” within thirty (30) days after such notice has been deemed given pursuant to this Agreement; and (3) the Grantee must terminate his or her Continuous Service no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the thirty-day period in which the Company fails to remedy the event constituting an “Adverse Change.”

5. Rights of Award Recipients. The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this Agreement (and the Award evidenced hereby) unless he or she shall have accepted this Agreement prior to the close of business on the Final Acceptance Date set forth on Schedule A hereto by (a) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (b) unless the Grantee is already a Limited Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit B). Upon acceptance of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the LTIP Units so accepted. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the number of LTIP Units specified on Schedule A hereto, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein.

In addition, on the date on which any Award LTIP Unit is earned, the Partnership will pay the Grantee, for each Award LTIP Unit earned, an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (i) the per unit amount of all distributions paid with respect to each OP Unit on or after the Effective Date and before the date on which such Award LTIP Unit is earned (other than those with respect to which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 8 hereof divided by (ii) the Conversion Factor.

Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, none of the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the OP Units of the Partnership into which such Award LTIP Units may be converted (the “Award OP Units”) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”); provided that vested Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units that have been held for a period of at least two (2) years beginning on the Effective Date may be Transferred to the Grantee’s Family Members (as defined below) by gift or domestic relations order; and provided further that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 7. Additionally, all Transfers of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units or Award OP Units. Except as provided in this Section 7, this Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

d. Grantee Representations; Registration.

(i) The Grantee hereby represents and warrants that (A) he or she understands that he or she is responsible for consulting his or her own tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws, and the tax laws of any state, local or other taxing jurisdiction to which the Grantee is or by reason of this Award may become subject, to his or her particular situation; (B) the Grantee has not received or relied upon business or tax advice from the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), employees, agents, consultants or advisors, in their capacity as such; (C) the Grantee provides services to the Partnership on a regular basis and in such capacity has access to such information, and has such experience of and involvement in the business and operations of the Partnership, as the Grantee believes to be necessary and appropriate to make an informed decision to accept this Award; (D) Award LTIP Units are subject to substantial risks; (E) the Grantee has been furnished with, and has reviewed and understands, information relating to this Award; (F) the Grantee has been afforded the opportunity to obtain such additional information as he or she deemed necessary before accepting this Award; and (G) the Grantee has had an opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Partnership and the Company, or persons acting on their behalf, concerning this Award.
