PERFORMANCE-VESTED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

​

PSUs/

Non- transferability

The grant is an award of PSUs for up to the maximum number of PSUs set forth on the cover sheet, subject to the vesting conditions described below (the “Grant”).  Your PSUs may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the PSUs be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Issuance and Vesting

Up to the maximum number of PSUs will vest on the last day of the Performance Period, provided that you continue to be employed or in service with the Company through the last day of the Performance Period.  The number of PSUs that vest, if any, and the number of Shares deliverable following vesting shall be based on the Company’s total shareholder return (appreciation in share price and dividends) (“TSR”), as measured by the average closing stock price during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the first day of the performance period and the average closing stock price during the last thirty (30) trading days of the Performance Period, plus aggregate dividends, compared to the TSR of the peer group (consisting of all equity REIT’s) as set forth below:

If the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period falls in the:

The number of PSUs that vest shall be:

Upper Quartile (75th percentile and above)

200% of Target

Third Quartile (50th to 74th percentile)

Target

Second Quartile (25th to 49th percentile)

50% of Target

Lower Quartile (below 25th percentile)

0%

The number of PSUs that vest for results (i) above the 25th percentile but less than the 50th percentile and (ii) above the 50th percentile but less than the 75th percentile, will be interpolated.

Within thirty (30) days following the date on which a PSU vests hereunder, the Company will, in settlement of such vested PSU, issue to you one (1) Share, unless you made a timely election to defer settlement of the PSUs pursuant to the Company’s Executive Deferred

-2-

​

​

Compensation Plan, in which case such Shares will be issued to you on the date or dates elected by you pursuant to that plan.

Other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no additional PSUs will vest after your employment or service has terminated for any reason unless otherwise provided in a severance plan adopted by the Company in which you are eligible to participate or as determined by the Committee.

Change in Control

In the event of a Change in Control, where the Company is not the surviving corporation and ultimate parent company, before the last day of the Performance Period, your unvested PSUs shall vest, subject to your continued employment or service through the Change in Control, immediately prior to the Change in Control based on the greater of (a) actual performance through the date of the Change in Control, and (b) Target performance.

Termination by Death or Disability

​

​

​

If your employment or service terminates as a result of your death or due to your “Disability” before the last day of the Performance Period, a pro-rated amount of your PSUs will vest on the last day of the Performance Period, equal to the product of (x) times (y), rounded down to the nearest whole PSU, where (x) is the Target number of PSUs, and (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from January 1, 20__, to the date on which you terminate from employment or service, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in any applicable Company severance plan in which you are an eligible employee, or in the absence of such severance plan, then it shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.

Retirement

If your employment or service terminates because of your “Retirement” and on the “Effective Date of Retirement” you enter into the Restrictive Covenant Agreement  attached as Exhibit A hereto, then a pro-rated amount of your unvested PSUs immediately prior to your Effective Date of Retirement will vest on the last day of the Performance Period, equal to the product of (x) times (y), rounded down to the nearest whole PSU, where (x) is the number of PSUs that would have vested on the last day of the Performance Period as determined on the same basis as if you had continued in active service through the last day of the Performance Period, and (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed from January 1, 20__, to the Effective Date of Retirement, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.  

For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Retirement” shall mean the attainment of the age of sixty (60) plus a minimum of ten (10) years

-3-

​

​

of employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and (b)the term “Effective Date of Retirement” shall mean the date that is at least six (6) months following your delivery of written notice to the Company notifying the Company of the effective date of your Retirement.

Forfeiture of Unvested PSUs

Except as provided in this Agreement, the Plan, or any severance plan adopted by the Company in which you are eligible to participate, in the event that your employment or service terminates for any reason other than your death, Disability, or Retirement, you will forfeit to the Company all unvested PSUs.  For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a termination for “Cause” you will forfeit all then-outstanding PSUs to the Company for no consideration.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in any applicable Company severance plan in which you are an eligible employee, or in the absence of such severance plan, then it shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.

Recoupment
Policy

The PSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Shares delivered to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to any clawback policy maintained by the Company or any Affiliate from time to time as necessary to comply with applicable law or exchange listing requirements.

Withholding
Taxes

You agree, as a condition of this Grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the issuance of Shares under this Grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the issuance of Shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to: (i) require you to make a cash payment to the Company, (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate, or (iii) withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable to you having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the withholding or other taxes due.

Retention Rights

This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.  Furthermore, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate your employment or service with the Company at any time, with or without Cause.

No Impact on Other Benefits

The value of your PSUs is not part of your normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.

​

​

Dividend Equivalents

On each of the Company’s regular dividend payment dates occurring after the Grant Date and prior to the date on which Shares are issued to you in respect of the PSUs granted hereunder, the Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account, solely for the purposes of recordkeeping, a number of PSUs equal to the quotient of (x) divided by (y), where (x) is an amount equal to the dividends payable with respect to the number of Shares underlying the outstanding PSUs subject to this Grant, and (y) is the closing price of the Shares on such dividend payment date, rounded down to the nearest whole PSU.  On each applicable vesting date of the PSUs, PSUs credited to the bookkeeping account (“Dividend Equivalents”) shall vest or be forfeited, as applicable, to the extent that the PSUs to which they relate vest or are forfeited.  Vested Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in Shares at the same time and subject to the same terms as the underlying vested PSUs.

Shareholder
Rights

You do not have the right to vote the Shares in respect of your PSUs, and you do not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the PSUs, unless and until the Shares relating to the PSUs are issued to you.  Any distributions of stock or other property you receive as a result of any split, stock dividend, combination of Shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Shares and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto.  You do not have the right to make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Adjustments

In the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of Shares covered by this Grant may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.  Your PSUs shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

Successors and Assigns

The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon you and your beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the PSUs may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

The Plan

The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, canceled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion.  The Grant of the PSUs under this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any PSUs or other grants in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment or service with the Company.

WHEREAS, as a condition to participating in the provisions of the Retirement section of the Grant Agreement (“Retirement Benefits”), the Company and the Executive agree that the Executive will not engage in competition with the Company and will refrain from taking certain other actions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof in an effort to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and goodwill and for other business purposes.

​

​

4.1Confidential Information. The Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for his personal benefit or the benefit of others or directly or indirectly disclose, except as permitted by Section 4.2 or as may be required or as appropriate in connection with his carrying out his duties under this Agreement, all confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliates, or to the Company’s or any such affiliate’s respective businesses and investments (including confidential information of others that has come into the possession of the Company or any such affiliate), learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter directly or indirectly from the Company or any of its affiliates and which is not generally available lawfully and without breach of confidential or other fiduciary obligation to the general public without restriction (the “Confidential Company Information”), except with the Company’s express written consent or as may otherwise be required by law or any legal process.

​

​

​

Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.

The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the Restricted Period set forth in Section 2 and the restrictions set forth in Sections 2 and 3, are reasonable, fair and equitable in terms of duration, scope and geographic area, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the REIT, and are a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and to provide the Retirement Benefits.

​

6.Specific Performance. The Executive acknowledges that the obligations undertaken by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are unique and that the Company likely will have no adequate remedy at law if the Executive shall fail to perform any of such Executive’s obligations hereunder, and the Executive therefore confirms that the Company’s right to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests of the Company. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall have the right to have all obligations, covenants, agreements and other provisions of this Agreement specifically performed by the Executive, and the Company shall have the right to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement by the Executive.

​

​

limitation, the Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be required to post bond as a condition to obtaining or exercising such remedies, and the Executive hereby waives any such requirement or condition. If the Executive is the prevailing party in any action in which the Company seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Executive from and against any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such action, including, without limitation, the Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

​

7.Miscellaneous Provisions.

​

7.1Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Executive, but may be assigned by the Company to any successor to its business and will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any such successor. Subject to the foregoing provisions restricting assignment, all covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives.

​

7.2Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes and renders of no force and effect all prior oral or written agreements, commitments and understandings among the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. This Section 7.2 shall not be used to limit or restrict the rights or remedies, whether express or implied, of any noncompetition or non-solicitation policies of the REIT applicable to the Executive.

​

7.3Amendment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by each of the parties hereto.

​

7.4Waivers. No waiver by a party hereto shall be effective unless made in a written instrument duly executed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and only to the extent set forth in such instrument. Neither the waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of either of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

​

7.5Severability. If fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time such fulfillment shall be due, shall transcend the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision contained in this Agreement operates or would operate to invalidate this Agreement, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the restrictions against engaging in competitive activity contained in this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive or unreasonable in any other respect, the Agreement shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable

-4-

​

​

and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action and the court may limit the application of any other provision or covenant, or modify any such term, provision or covenant and proceed to enforce this Agreement as so limited or modified. To the extent necessary, the parties shall revise the Agreement and enter into an appropriate amendment to the extent necessary to implement any of the foregoing.

​

7.6Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, but not including the choice-of-law rules thereof.

​

7.7Headings. Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.
