NOW, THEREFORE, the Partnership and the Participant, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:




ARTICLE I:
Award of Restricted Units


1.1 Award.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Partnership hereby grants the Participant an award of Restricted Units (the "Restricted Units") as specified within the Participant’s RSU account within SG Vestia (the Company's online equity award tracking system) (the "Award") to vest as follows:


Vesting Schedule: 
60% on the third December 5th following the date of the award
40% on the fifth December 5th following the date of the award


This Award includes tandem Distribution Equivalent Rights ("DERs"), which entitle the Participant to receive with respect to each Restricted Unit, so long as the underlying Restricted Unit has not either vested or been forfeited, an amount in cash equal to the distributions per common unit made by the Partnership on its outstanding common units with such payment being made promptly following each such distribution made by the Partnership.


1.2 Effect of Plan; Construction.  The entire text of the Plan is expressly incorporated herein by this reference and so forms a part of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions in the Plan shall govern and prevail. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may have been amended from time to time in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Participant, without such Participant’s consent, of any rights earned or otherwise due to Participant hereunder. Capitalized terms and phrases used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.


1.3 Vesting/Payments.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Award is subject to vesting over five (5) years, with 60% of this Award to vest on the third December 5th following the date of the Award, and the remaining 40% to vest on the fifth December 5th following the date of the Award subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Partnership or one of affiliates on each applicable vesting date.


(a)Settlement of Vested Restricted Units.  Upon the vesting of a Restricted Unit, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company or the Partnership shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant one common unit for each vested Restricted Unit, subject to withholding of units to cover applicable governmental withholdings described in 1.3(c).









(b)Payment of DERs.  The Participant is entitled to receive from the Partnership, with respect to each Restricted Unit that has not either vested or been forfeited, DERs equal to the distributions per common unit made by the Partnership on its outstanding common units, in each case promptly following each such distribution made by the Partnership. Upon the forfeiture or vesting of the underlying Restricted Unit, the associated DER will automatically expire and no further payments shall be made with respect to such DER, except with respect to amounts not yet paid with respect to distributions on Units made prior to the date of such forfeiture or vesting. 


(c)Tax Withholding.  All vestings of Restricted Units and payments with respect to DERs under this Agreement are subject to withholding of applicable governmental withholdings as determined by the Company.  Prior to vesting of Restricted Units or payment with respect to DERs, the Participant must satisfy applicable governmental withholding due with respect to such vesting or payment.
(i) Payment in Units.  Participant may elect to satisfy withholding obligations associated with the vesting of Restricted Units in cash or by surrendering a number of Restricted Units sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations.  The fair market value of a Restricted Unit is determined by the arithmetic average of the closing prices for the ten trading days immediately prior to the applicable date of vesting of the Restricted Unit.
(ii) Payment in Cash. Cash payments of DERs, shall be made net of any applicable governmental withholdings .


1.4 Change of Control.  Notwithstanding Section 1.3 of this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, as that term is defined in the Plan, occurring prior to the date all outstanding Restricted Units granted hereunder have vested in accordance with Section 1.3 above, all then-outstanding unvested Restricted Units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable and the Company or the Partnership shall deliver the Units (or the amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such common units as of the date of such event) to the Participant as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no events later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs. 


1.5 Termination of Employment.


(a) Death or Permanent Disability.  No portion of this Award shall be forfeited as a result of the occurrence, prior to the end of the Restricted Period, of the Participant’s death, or Disability.  Instead, in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, this Award shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable and the Company or the Partnership shall deliver the Units to the Participant or the Participant’s estate, as applicable, as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b) Qualified Retirement.  Participants who have at least ten years of service and leave the Company, or one of its affiliates, voluntarily due to retirement will be eligible for the accelerated vesting of this Award per the following schedule:
		
	•
	Participants ages 65-68 are eligible for the accelerated vesting of 40% of the Award.


		
	•
	Participants over the age of 68 are eligible for the accelerated vesting of 50% of the Award.


(c) Termination due other than to Death, Disability or Qualified Retirement.  The Award granted hereunder is for the express purpose of retaining the services and engagement of the Participant for the full time of the Restricted Period.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section 1.5(a) and (b) of this Agreement, the unvested portion of this Award shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration as a result of the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Partnership or its subsidiary of affiliate by reason of retirement prior to the end of the Restricted Period, and Participant shall not have any further rights with respect to any such forfeited Restricted Units.
(d) Leaves of Absence.  The Committee shall determine whether any leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment within the meaning of the Plan and the impact of such leave of absence on awards made to Participant under the Plan.
