Shares subject to outstanding Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares, unrestricted shares or Other Share-Based Awards, including but not limited to LTIP Unit Awards; provided, however, that any fractional shares or
units resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator shall take such action as is necessary to adjust the outstanding Awards to
reflect the Change in Capitalization, including but not limited to the cancellation of any outstanding Award in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares or LTIP Units covered by such Award,
reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price, base price, or purchase price thereof, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall cause any Award that is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to comply with the
requirements of such section. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 6.
Eligibility. 
 Participants shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
 7. Options. 
 (a) General. Each Participant who
is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Document containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its discretion, which Award Document shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the
term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding
concurrently. Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and
set forth in the Award Document. 
 (b) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined
by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that the Exercise Price of any Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.

  

 11 








 (c) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no
Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Document. 
 (d) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of
preestablished Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the Award Document. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment
exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any
outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 (e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion with respect
to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including, but not limited to the withholding of
Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such
Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. 
 (f) Rights as Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights to distributions or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares
subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of Section 14 and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 15(b).

 (g) Transfers of Options. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, no Option shall be transferable by a Participant
other than by the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by
the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a Disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, permit the gratuitous transfer during
a Participant’s lifetime of an Option, (i) by gift to a member of the Participant’s immediate family, (ii) by transfer by instrument to a trust for the benefit of such immediate family members, or (iii) to a partnership or
limited liability company in which such family members are the only partners or members; 

  

 12 








 
provided, however, that, in addition to such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine in connection with any such transfer, no
transferee may further assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the transferred Option, in whole or in part, other than by operation of the laws of descent and distribution. Each such transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of
the Plan and the applicable Award Document. 
 (h) Termination of Employment or Service. 
  

	 	(1)	Unless the applicable Award Document provides otherwise or unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Disability, or death, but including termination by reason of the entity employing the Participant or to which the Participant is rendering services ceasing to be
a Subsidiary or Affiliate, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination, on which
date they shall expire and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. The ninety (90)-day period
described in this Section 7(h)(1) shall be extended to one year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such ninety (90)-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable
after the expiration of its term. 

  

	 	(2)	Unless the applicable Award Document provides otherwise or unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall terminate on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain
exercisable until the date that is one year after such termination, on which date they shall expire and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the
close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term. 

  

	 	(3)	In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options, including vested Options, granted to such Participant shall expire
at the commencement of business on the date of such termination. 

  

 13 








 (i) Other Change in Employment or Service Status. An Option may be affected, both with regard to
vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, Disability or other changes in the employment or service status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator. The Administrator shall
follow applicable written policies of the Company (if any), including but not limited to such rules, guidelines and practices as may be adopted pursuant to Section 3, as they may be in effect from time to time, with regard to such matters.

 8. Share Appreciation Rights. 
 (a)
General. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free-Standing Share Appreciation Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option (“Related Share Appreciation Rights”). Related Share
Appreciation Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. The Administrator shall determine the Participants to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Share Appreciation Rights shall be made; the number of
Shares to be awarded; the base price per Share; and all other conditions of Share Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Share Appreciation Rights may be granted for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which they
relate, and any Share Appreciation Rights must be granted with a base price not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant. The provisions of Share Appreciation Rights need not be the same with
respect to each Participant. Share Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as
the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Document. 
 (b) Exercisability. 
  

	 	(1)	Free-Standing Share Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after
grant. 

  

	 	(2)	Related Share Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7. 

 (c) Payment Upon Exercise. 
  

	 	(1)	 Upon the exercise of a Free-Standing Share Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, the value equal to the excess
of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over the base price per Share specified in the Free-Standing Share Appreciation Right (which price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair 



  

 14 









	 	 
Market Value of such Share on the date of grant) multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free-Standing Share Appreciation Right is being
exercised, with the Administrator having the right to determine the form of payment. 


  

	 	(2)	A Related Share Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant
shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, the value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option (which price shall be no less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant) multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Share Appreciation Right is being exercised, with the Administrator having the right to
determine the form of payment. Options that have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Share Appreciation Rights have been so exercised. 

  

	 	(3)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Shares and cash).


 (d) Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights to distributions or any other rights of a shareholder
with respect to the Shares subject to Share Appreciation Rights until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has satisfied the requirements of Section 14 and, if requested, has given the representation described in
Section 15(b). 
 (e) Non-Transferability. Share Appreciation Rights shall not be transferable; provided, however, that Related
Share Appreciation Rights are transferable only when and to the extent the related Option would be transferable under Section 7. 
 (f)
Termination of Employment or Service. 
  

	 	(1)	In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free-Standing Share
Appreciation Rights, such Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator. 

  

	 	(2)	In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Share Appreciation
Rights, such Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Document. 

  

 15 








 (g) Term. 
  

	 	(1)	The term of each Free-Standing Share Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free-Standing Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10)
years after the date such Right is granted. 

  

	 	(2)	The term of each Related Share Appreciation Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten
(10) years after the date such Right is granted. 

 9. Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Performance Shares. 
 (a) General. Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards.
The Administrator shall determine the Participants to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by
the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares; the Restricted Period (as defined in paragraph (c) of this Section 9), if any, applicable to Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted
Share Units; the Performance Goals, if any, applicable to Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares; any rights to Distribution Equivalents; and all other conditions of the Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted
Share Units and Performance Shares. The Administrator may also condition the grant of the Award of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares upon the exercise of Options, or upon such other criteria as the Administrator may
determine, in its sole discretion. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares.
The provisions of the Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 
 (b) Awards and Certificates. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 9, (i) each Participant who receives an Award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares shall be issued a share
certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares or Performance Shares (or such other appropriate evidence of ownership as determined by the Administrator); and (ii) such certificate (or other evidence of ownership) shall be registered in the
name of the Participant, and, if appropriate, shall bear a legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. The Company may require that the Share certificates evidencing Restricted Shares or Performance
Shares be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a power of attorney, endorsed in
blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. 
  

 16 








 (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and
Performance Shares shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator: 
  

	 	(1)	Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Document, during such period as may be set by the Administrator commencing on the date of the Award (the “Restricted
Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including but not limited to the
attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a director or Consultant of or service provider to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the Participant’s death or Disability.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 11. 

  

	 	(2)	Except as may be provided in the Award Document, the Participant shall generally have the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares and Performance
Shares during the Restricted Period. The Participant shall generally not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to Awards of Restricted Share Units during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that, at the discretion of
the Administrator, Distribution Equivalents may be awarded during a restricted period, if any, applicable to such Distribution Equivalents with respect to the number of Shares covered by Restricted Share Units and may be accrued and paid to the
Participant promptly after, and only after, the restricted period, if any, applicable to such Distribution Equivalents shall expire without forfeiture. Certificates for unrestricted Shares shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after, and
only after, the Restricted Period shall expire without forfeiture in respect of such Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.


  

	 	(3)	The rights of Participants granted Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Performance Shares upon termination of employment or service as a director or Consultant of
or service provider to the Company or to any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Document. 

  


 17 








 (d) To the extent that the Plan is then subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no payment pursuant
to this Section 9 with respect to Awards which are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be made to a Covered Employee prior to the certification by the Committee that the applicable
Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such other rules applicable to Awards made pursuant to this Section 9; provided, however, that, with respect to Awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such rules shall be in compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 10. Other Share-Based
Awards. 
 (a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards, as deemed by the
Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Document, including but not limited to Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to Class A Shares, including Awards valued by reference to
book value, fair value or performance of the Company or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or partnership interests, including Distribution Equivalents and restricted or performance units. Other Share-Based Awards may be granted as free-standing Awards or in
tandem with other Awards. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, including any Performance Goals and performance periods. Shares, partnership interests, or other securities
or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including but not limited to
Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, settle such Other Share-Based Awards for cash, Shares, partnership
interests, or other property as appropriate; provided, however, that it determines, after consultation with its legal counsel and tax advisers, that such alternate settlement would be in the Company’s best interests. 
 (b) The Administrator is also authorized to grant LTIP Unit Awards to Participants in the form of LTIP Units that, whether vested or unvested, shall
entitle the Participant to receive, currently or on a deferred or contingent basis, distributions or Distribution Equivalents with respect to a number of LTIP Units or other distributions from the members of the Och-Ziff Operating Group, with
respect to which the Administrator may provide in the Award Document that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional LTIP Units. The LTIP Units may include an exchange ratio pursuant to which the LTIP Units (with or
without other property) may be exchanged for Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, and in such case may include Class B Shares; provided, however, that the number of Class B Shares issued as a feature of the LTIP
Unit Award may not exceed the number of Class A Shares acquirable upon the exchange of the LTIP Units included in such Award and that such Class B Shares are cancelled pro tanto at the same time that the exchangeable LTIP Units are
exchanged for such Class A Shares. LTIP Units may be structured as “profits interests,” “capital interests” or other types of partnership interests for federal income tax purposes. The Administrator has the authority to
determine the number of shares, interests, units or rights underlying LTIP Unit Awards in light of all applicable circumstances, including but not limited to performance-based vesting conditions, operating partnership “capital account
allocations,” value accretion factors, and conversion or exchange ratios, to the extent set forth in the partnership agreements for the members of the Och-Ziff Operating Group, the Code or otherwise. 
  

 18 








 (c) To the extent that the Plan is then subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no payment pursuant
to this Section 10 with respect to Awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be made to a Covered Employee prior to the certification by the Committee that the applicable
Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such other rules applicable to the Other Share-Based Awards; provided, however, that, with respect to Awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code, such rules shall be in compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 11. Accelerated Vesting in Connection with a
Change in Control. 
 (a) In the event of a Change in Control, any outstanding Option that is not assumed or continued, or for which an
equivalent option or right is not substituted pursuant to the Change in Control transaction’s governing document, shall become fully vested and exercisable “immediately prior to” the effective date of such Change in Control and shall
expire upon the effective date of such Change in Control. For purposes of this Section 11, “immediately prior to” shall mean sufficiently in advance of the Change in Control transaction such that there will be time for each affected
Participant to exercise his or her Option and participate in the Change in Control transaction in the same manner as all other holders of Shares. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to a Change in Control, the
Administrator shall notify the affected Participant in writing or electronically that the Option has become fully vested and exercisable, and that the Option will terminate upon the Change in Control. 
 (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and evidenced in an Award Document, in the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs and
(ii) the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company, its successor or affiliate thereof without Cause on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twelve (12) months following such Change
in Control, then: 
  

	 	(1)	any unvested or unexercisable portion of any Award carrying a right to exercise shall become vested and exercisable; and 

  

	 	(2)	the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award shall lapse and all unvested Awards shall be deemed fully vested
and performance conditions imposed with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved. 

  

 19 








 12. Amendment and Termination. 
 The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such
Participant’s consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval of the Company’s shareholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are listed or other applicable law. If any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator
reserves the right to (but is not obligated to) amend, modify or supplement such Award in order to cause it to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The
Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. 
 13. Unfunded Status of Plan. 
 The Plan is intended to
constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of
the Company or any Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate. 
 14. Withholding Taxes. 
 Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for
federal, state, or local income tax purposes, pay to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall,
to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company or any Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate shall
have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares or LTIP Units are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company or any Participating
Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related
thereto. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may elect to satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company or any Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate withhold from delivery of Shares, LTIP Units, or other
property or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, LTIP Units, or other property, in each case having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be 

  

 20 








 
withheld. Such Shares, LTIP Units, or other property shall be valued at their Fair Market Value, if any, on the business day immediately preceding the date
on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share or unit amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares, LTIP Units, or other property to be delivered pursuant
to an Award. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award. 
 15. General Provisions. 
 (a) Awards, Class A
Shares, Class B Shares and LTIP Units shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Awards, shares or LTIP Units pursuant hereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including but not limited to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 (b) The Administrator may require each person acquiring Awards, Class A Shares, Class B Shares or LTIP Units to represent to and
agree with the Company or any Participating Subsidiary or Affiliate in writing that such person is acquiring the Awards, Class A Shares, Class B Shares or LTIP Units without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for any shares or
LTIP Units may include any legend that the Administrator deems advisable to reflect any restrictions on transfer which the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, arise under applicable securities laws or are otherwise applicable.

 (c) All certificates for Class A Shares, Class B Shares or LTIP Units delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and any applicable
federal or state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (d) The Administrator may require a Participant receiving Awards, Class A Shares, Class B Shares or LTIP Units, as a condition precedent to receipt
of such Awards, shares or LTIP Units, to enter into a shareholder agreement, “lock-up” or other agreement in such form as the Administrator shall determine is advisable to further the interests of the Company or any Participating
Subsidiary or Affiliate. 
 (e) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right to continued employment or service
with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any Participant at any time. 
  

 21 








 16. Effective Date. 
 The Plan became effective upon adoption by the Board on November 11, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), and approval by the sole managing member of the Company on November 13, 2007. 
 17. Term of Plan. 
 No Award shall be granted pursuant
to the Plan on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. 
 18. Governing
Law.
