4. Determination and Payment of Awards
(a) Each Participants Award Notice shall specify such Participants Target Award. The Target Award may be expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage of a Participants base salary or other compensation, a number of shares of Stock or pursuant to any other method, amount or formula selected by the Committee for such Participant, and may apply for all or a
3
specified number of Performance Measurement Periods, each as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
(b) The amount of a Participants Award hereunder shall be determined based on Total Shareholder Return for each Performance Measurement Period relative to the percentage appreciation of each Performance Measurement Index for such period. The percentage appreciation of each Performance Measurement Index shall be established by comparing the Initial Performance Measurement Index Value to the Closing Performance Index Value. Unless otherwise specified in an Award Notice, (i) 50 percent of the Award shall be calculated with reference to Total Shareholder Return relative to the percentage appreciation of the MSCI US REIT Index, and (ii) the remaining 50 percent of the Award shall be calculated with reference to Total Shareholder Return relative to the percentage appreciation of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Industrial Index.
(c) The actual value of a Participants Award hereunder shall be determined at the conclusion of a Performance Measurement Period, as follows:
(i) If Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Measurement Period is less than the percentage appreciation of a Performance Measurement Index for such period, Participants shall not receive an Award with respect to the 50 percent of the Target Award calculated with reference to such Performance Measurement Index.
(ii) If Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Measurement Period equals or exceeds the percentage appreciation of a Performance Measurement Index for such period, Participants shall receive an Award equal to 50 percent of the Target Award.
(iii) If Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Measurement Period exceeds the percentage appreciation of a Performance Measurement Index by 100 basis points or more, Participants shall receive an Award equal to 150 percent of the Target Award. If Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Measurement Period exceeds the percentage appreciation of both Performance Measurement Indexes by 100 basis points or more, Participants shall receive an Award equal to 300 percent of the Target Award.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Measurement Period is negative the value of each Participants Award, as determined pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) and (iii), above, shall be reduced by 50 percent.
(d) The dollar value of Participants Awards shall be determined by the Committee as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the relevant Performance Measurement Period. Following determination of such amounts, the Company shall issue to each Participant a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Stock Price on the date of issuance equal to the dollar value of each Participants Award. The shares of Stock shall be issued between January 1 and March 15 of the calendar year that follows the conclusion of the relevant Performance Measurement Period.

5. Termination of Employment
Unless otherwise provided in any Award Notice, if at any time prior to the end of a Performance Measurement Period a Participants employment or other service relationship with the Company terminates for any reason, such Participant shall forfeit the right to receive any payment or Award not paid to the Participant as of the date of termination of employment or other service relationship.
6. Miscellaneous
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time in its discretion without the consent of any Participants, but no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Participants with regard to outstanding Awards. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Company shall determine the Awards payable to Participants based on the Total Shareholder Return relative to the Performance Measurement Indexes for each Performance Measurement Period ending on the date of Plan termination. The Awards for each Performance Measurement Period shall be further prorated to reflect the shortened Performance Measurement Period.
(b) No Contract for Continuing Services. This Plan shall not be construed as creating any contract for continued services between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any Participant and nothing herein contained shall give any Participant the right to be retained as an employee or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(c) No Transfers. A Participants rights in an interest under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred.
(d) 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 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.
(e) Governing Law. The Plan and each Award Letter awarded under the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws of such state.
(f) Tax Withholding. Any issuance of shares of Stock to a Participant shall be subject to tax withholding. The minimum tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied through a net issuance of shares. The Company shall withhold from shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate fair market value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.
(g) Construction. Wherever appropriate, the use of the masculine gender shall be extended to include the feminine and/or neuter or vice versa; and the singular form of words shall be extended to include the plural; and the plural shall be restricted to mean the singular.
