(c) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, bonuses payable hereunder for a Participant who is a Senior Executive as of the applicable Bonus Determination Date (i) shall be payable in shares of restricted common stock of the Company or restricted stock units, as determined in the Committee’s discretion, having an aggregate grant date fair value equal to 50 percent of the applicable Bonus, and the risk of forfeiture shall expire in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the Participant’s continuous employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries through each such anniversary date, and (ii) the remainder of such Bonus shall be paid to the Participant in a lump-sum in cash in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Section 5(b), above, subject, in each case, to the Participant’s continuous employment through the applicable Bonus Determination Date and in the case of the grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units pursuant to clause (i) above, also to the Participant’s continuous employment through the grant date. Any restricted stock or restricted stock unit grants made to Participants who are Senior Executives pursuant to this section shall be granted under and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable stock incentive plan of the Company and any award agreement(s) thereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Participant receive aggregate Bonuses under the Plan with respect to any one Plan Year in excess of the Participant’s total compensation (which, for purposes of this section shall include base salary, bonus(es) and equity compensation (the value of which shall be determined based on the grant date fair value of any such award computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 or any successor provision), but shall exclude (x) Bonuses paid under this Plan and (y) awards granted or paid to the Participant under the Company’s Outperformance Plan) from the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates with respect to the two most recently completed full calendar years (or, if a Participant has not been employed by the Company or its subsidiary for two full years, the Participant’s total compensation for such shorter period multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is 730 and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of days the Participant has been employed by the Company or its subsidiary through the last date of the applicable Plan Year).

6. Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Participant’s Award Letter or the Plan, including but not limited to Section 5 above, upon a Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, the Participant shall forfeit all Units granted hereunder and any right to receive any Bonus with respect to such Units without payment of consideration therefor.

7. Nature of Units. The Units granted under this Plan shall be used solely as a device for the measurement and determination of certain amounts to be paid to each Participant as provided herein and such Units shall not constitute or be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind or as stock options or other form of equity or security of the Company, the Company Group, any Fund or any other entity. A Participant shall have only those rights set forth in this Plan and the Participant’s Award Letter with respect to Units granted to such Participant and

shall have no ownership rights in the Company, the Company Group, any Fund or any other entity by virtue of having been granted Units. Any benefits which become payable hereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company.

8. Section 409A. The provisions regarding all payments to be made hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner that all such payments either comply with Section 409A of the Code or are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any amounts payable hereunder are determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Committee from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the payment of any such amounts may not be accelerated or delayed except to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any payments under any provisions of this Plan are determined to constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code that are subject to the 20 percent additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.

9. Amendment or Termination of Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, the Committee’s ability to discontinue the Plan or any Fund’s inclusion in the Plan with respect to any Plan Year), the Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any time or from time to time; provided, however, that, no such amendment shall in any material adverse way affect the rights of a Participant with respect to any Units prior to the date of amendment or termination without the written consent of such affected Participant.

10. Limitation of Liability. Subject to its obligation to make payments as provided for hereunder, neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf shall be liable for any act performed or the failure to perform any act with respect to this Plan, except in the event that there has been a judicial determination of willful misconduct on the part of the Company or such person. The Company is not under any obligation to fund any of the payments required to be made hereunder in advance of their actual payment or to establish any reserves with respect to this Plan.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Contract for Continuing Services. This Plan shall not be construed as creating any contract for continued services between the Company, any Company Group entity or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates and any Participant and nothing herein contained shall give any Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company, and Company Group entity or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

(b) No Transfers. A Participant’s rights in an interest under the Plan or with respect to any Unit may not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred.

(c) Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or separate fund. Likewise, the Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and any Participant. To the extent that any Participant holds any rights by virtue of an award under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(d) Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws of such state.

(e) Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all payments hereunder any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.

(f) Effect on Other Plans. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the rights of Participants under the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies.

(g) Benefits and Burdens. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Participants, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns.

(h) Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Plan shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Plan, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Plan shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(i) Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Plan, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Plan, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

(j) Notices. Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to a Participant at the last address the Participant has filed in writing with the Company, or to the Company at their main office, attention of the Committee.
