On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan, the Grantee is hereby granted this Award consisting of the number of 2014-2 LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference and represents 2014-2 LTIP Units (PB) and 2014-2 LTIP Units (PB-AT) (collectively, the “Award 2014-2 LTIP Units”). Award 2014-2 LTIP Units shall constitute and be treated as the property of the Grantee as of the grant date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.
4. Grantee’s Service Agreement Relationship.
(a) If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement, the provisions of Section 4(b) below shall govern Grantee’s Award 2014-2 LTIP Units exclusively in the event of a Change of Control, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Section 4 and provides that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern with regard to the Grantee’s Award 2014-2 LTIP Units.
(b) To the extent that the Grantee’s Service Agreement entitles the Grantee to receive any severance payments, or any other similar term used in the Grantee’s Service Agreement, from the Company in case of a termination of the Grantee’s employment following a Change of Control or a similar event (“Change of Control Benefits”), then for purposes of calculating the Grantee’s entitlement to such Change of Control Benefits, the Award 2014-2 LTIP Units shall be included as part of the Grantee’s bonus amount, or any other similar term used in the Grantee’s Service Agreement, for the Performance Period. The value of the Award 2014-2 LTIP Units for purposes of determining such bonus amount shall be calculated by multiplying the Share Price as of the end of the Performance Period by the number of Award 2014-2 LTIP Units.
5. Payments by Award Recipients. No amount shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee at any time in respect of this Award.
6. Distributions. Distributions on Award 2014-2 LTIP Units will be paid in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as modified hereby as follows:
(a) A payment of cash shall be made to the Grantee as soon as practicable after the time of issuance of Award 2014-2 LTIP Units in an amount equal to (i) the total amount of all distributions (regular, special, extraordinary or otherwise) paid with respect to one Unit between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 multiplied by (ii) the number of Award 2014-2 LTIP Units issued.
(b) The LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Award 2014-2 LTIP Units shall be December 31, 2014. The Award 2014-2 LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive the full distribution payable on Units outstanding as of the record date next following December 31, 2014, whether or not they will have been outstanding for the whole period.

7. Restrictions on Transfer. None of the 2014-2 LTIP Units shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding) (each such action a “Transfer”), or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (a) until after December 31, 2016 other than in connection with a Change of Control, and (b) unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and such Transfer is in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement; provided that clause (a) above shall not apply with respect to the conversion into Units of 2014-2 LTIP Units (“Converted LTIP Units”) or with respect to any Transfer either of 2014-2 LTIP Units or of Converted LTIP Units, so long as such Transfer is permitted under the Partnership Agreement and is in connection with donative, estate or tax planning by the Grantee; and provided, further, that the Transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership not to make any further Transfer of such 2014-2 LTIP Units Converted LTIP Units other than as permitted by this Section 7. In connection with any Transfer of 2014-2 LTIP 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 2014-2 LTIP 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 2014-2 LTIP 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 2014-2 LTIP Units. The restrictions on Transfer in this Section 7 shall not be interpreted to prohibit the Grantee from designating one or more beneficiaries to receive the Grantee’s LTIP Units or Converted LTIP Units that are payable in the event of the Grantee’s death. Any such beneficiary designation shall be on a form provided or approved by the Company.
8. Changes in Capital Structure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee’s rights hereunder. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company.
(b) Incorporation of Stock Plan; Committee Determinations. The provisions of the Stock Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Stock Plan, this Agreement shall be controlling and determinative. The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications.
(c) Status as a Partner. As of the grant date set forth on Schedule A, the Grantee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the number of Award 2014-2 LTIP Units issued to the Grantee as of such date pursuant to Section 3 hereof by: (A) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement; and (B) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). The Partnership records shall reflect the issuance to the Grantee of Award 2014-2 LTIP Units pursuant to Section 3 hereof, if any, whereupon the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the total number of 2014-2 LTIP Units then held by the Grantee, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein and in the Partnership Agreement.
(d) Status of 2014-2 LTIP Units under the Stock Plan. Insofar as the LTIP has been established as an incentive program of the Company and the Partnership, the 2014-2 LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as awards under the Stock Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for Units into which 2014-2 LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain

limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such shares of Common Stock, if issued, will be issued under the Stock Plan. The Grantee must be eligible to receive the 2014-2 LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B).

The records of the Partnership evidencing the 2014-2 LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such 2014-2 LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Stock Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.
(f) Compliance With Securities Laws. The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws.

(g) Investment Representations; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties and set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any 2014-2 LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of 2014-2 LTIP Units. The Grantee agrees that any resale of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exchange of Units into which 2014-2 LTIP Units may be converted shall not occur during the “blackout periods” forbidding sales of Company securities, as set forth in the then applicable Company employee manual or insider trading policy. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).
(h) Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.
(j) No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor and this Agreement shall

not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s service relationship at any time.
(k) Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
(l) Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.
(m) Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(n) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
(o) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee.
(p) 409A. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with a good faith interpretation of Section 409A of the Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or that may result in penalties under Section 409A of the Code, shall be amended, in consultation with the Grantee and with the reasonable cooperation of the Grantee and the Company, in the least restrictive manner necessary to (i) exclude the 2014-2 LTIP Units from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions, in each case without diminution in the value of the benefits granted hereby to the Grantee.
(q) Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the

complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.
