2027, and March 31, 2028, and their expiration date is March 6, 2035 (“ Expiration Date”), which is the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

For the SARs awarded on the Grant Date, upon a participant’s termination of employment for death or disability (as defined in the 2008 Plan), all unvested SARs will automatically vest and become exercisable and vested SARs will remain exercisable for one year or until the Expiration Date, whichever is earlier. Upon a participant’s termination of employment for retirement, all unvested SARs will continue to vest as scheduled and vested SARs will remain exercisable

for five years or until the Expiration Date, whichever is earlier. For these purposes, “retirement” is defined as the termination of employment without “cause” (as defined in the 2008 Plan, in Farmer Mac’s Amended and Restated Executive Officer Severance Plan, or in a participant’s employment agreement (if any), as applicable) after attaining age 55 and a combined age and years of employment at Farmer Mac of at least 65. Upon a participant’s termination of employment for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, or for cause, all unvested SARs will be cancelled immediately and vested SARs will remain exercisable for one year or until the Expiration Date, whichever is earlier. Upon a participant’s termination for cause, any unexercised SARs, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled immediately.

Under the Equity Grant Policy, the number of SARs awarded as equity-based compensation is based on a target long-term incentive value approved by the Committee for an individual divided by the Black-Scholes value as of the date that is seven calendar days before the date of grant based on assumptions consistent with the assumptions used by Farmer Mac for determining stock-based compensation expense under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718.

The 2008 Plan was previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to Farmer Mac’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 9, 2018. The current form of award agreement for SARs awarded under the 2008 Plan on the Grant Date was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Farmer Mac’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2015. Both of those Exhibits are incorporated in this report by reference.
