2.         Issuance of Profits Interest Units.  The Partnership shall record in the name of the Recipient the number of Profits Interest Units (“LTIP Units,” as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement”) awarded as of the Grant Date. The Partnership and the Recipient acknowledge and agree that the Profits Interest Units are hereby issued to the Recipient for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership and its Affiliates. If the Recipient is not already a partner of the Partnership pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement (defined therein as a “Partner”), the Partnership admits the Recipient as an “LTIP Unit Limited Partner” (as defined therein) and a Partner on the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Plan and the Limited Partnership Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Recipient shall, automatically and without further action on the Recipient’s part, be deemed to be a signatory of and bound by the Limited Partnership Agreement. At the request of the Partnership, the Recipient shall execute the Limited Partnership Agreement or a counterpart signature page thereto.

3.         Rights as a Unitholder.  The Profits Interest Units shall be treated as a “profits interest” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 93-27, and the Recipient shall be treated as having received the interest on the Grant Date as contemplated under Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2001-43.  As the owner of the Profits Interest Units for income tax purposes, the Recipient shall take into account the Recipient’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with the Profits Interest Units as determined in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement and this Agreement.

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The Recipient shall not sell, pledge, assign, transfer or hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any Profits Interest Units, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in or to the Profits Interest Units, except as otherwise provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Any disposition not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed null and void.  Any permitted transferee under this Section shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Limited Partnership Agreement.

5.         Tax Withholding. If and only if tax withholding applies with respect to the grant, vesting, ownership or disposition of Profits Interest Units, the Company or an Affiliate may withhold from the Recipient’s wages, or require the Recipient to remit to the Partnership, the Company or an Affiliate, any applicable required tax withholding.

6.         Change in Capitalization.

(a)        The number and kind of units issuable under this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted for any non-reciprocal transaction between the Partnership and the holders of partnership interests of the Partnership that causes the per unit value of the Profits Interest Units subject to the Award to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, non-recurring cash dividend (each, an “Equity Restructuring”). No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment.

(b)        In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, other material change in the capital structure of the Partnership, or a tender offer for Profits Interest Units (“LTIP Units,” as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement), in each case that does not constitute an Equity Restructuring, the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments with respect to the Profits Interest Units hereunder or the terms of this Agreement as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Award, substituting cash, other securities, or other property to replace the Award, or removing of restrictions.

(c)        All determinations and adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.

(d)        The existence of the Plan and the Profits Interest Unit Grant shall not affect the right or power of the Partnership to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Partnership, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Profits Interest Units or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership, any sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

7.         Governing Laws.  This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Maryland; provided, however, no Profits Interest Units shall be issued except, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws of the state in which Recipient resides, and/or any other applicable securities laws.

8.         Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

9.         Notice.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient.  Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.

10.       Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.

11.       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Limited Partnership Agreement, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, express the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan or the Limited Partnership Agreement and this Agreement, the Plan and the Limited Partnership Agreement shall govern.

13.       No Right to Continued Retention.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the Award hereunder shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued service with the Company or an Affiliate.

14.       Tax Effects under 409A.  It is intended that the Award under this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a current grant of a profits interest as provided in Section 3 hereof.

15.       Headings and Capitalized Terms.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
