 1. Introduction. 
 Parkway Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) established this Parkway Properties, Inc. and Parkway Properties, LP 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective
as of the Amendment Date (as defined below), subject to approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders at the first annual meeting of the shareholders occurring after the Amendment Date (the “Annual Meeting Date”). The Plan
is an amendment and restatement of the Parkway Properties, Inc. and Parkway Properties, LP 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). Following the Annual Meeting Date, any awards granted under the Prior Plan will be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, except to the extent that the terms and conditions of the Plan are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of such awards. 
 2. Purpose. 
 The purposes of the Plan are to promote the growth and
success of the Company and Parkway Properties LP (the “Partnership”) by aligning the interests of Employees, Directors, and Consultants with those of the Company’s shareholders and to attract, retain, and reward Employees,
Directors, and Consultants. To serve these purposes, the Plan offers equity-based incentive awards.

and regulations relating to the Plan; and to make any determinations it finds necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or
in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the administration and interpretation of the Plan shall be in its sole discretion and shall be final, binding, and conclusive
on all persons. The Committee may act only by a majority of its members in office, except that: 
 (a) The Committee may
authorize any one or more of its members or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee. 
 (b) The Committee may delegate ministerial duties and authority to interpret the Plan and respond to claims to a Senior Vice President or an Executive Vice President, provided that the Committee may not
delegate authority to (i) grant or amend Awards that are (A) held by individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the 

  
 5 








 
Exchange Act, (B) intended to qualify for the performance-based pay exception under Code section 162(m), or (C) held by officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant
or amend Awards has been delegated, or (ii) with respect to the certification of the satisfaction of Performance Goals. 

No Committee member and no delegate of the Committee shall be liable for any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan,
an Award, or a Participant. 
 5. Shares Subject to Plan and Limits on Awards. 

(a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14, the maximum number of Common Shares with
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan is the sum of (i) two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) (the “Share Increase”), plus (ii) the number of Common Shares available for future awards under the
Prior Plan as of the Annual Meeting Date, plus (iii) the number of Common Shares related to awards outstanding under the Prior Plan as of the Annual Meeting Date that thereafter terminate by expiration or forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise
without the issuance of such Common Shares (the “Share Limit”); provided, however, that with respect to the Share Increase the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Plan in
settlement of (x) any Full Value Award shall be two million (2,000,000) and (y) any Awards that are not Full Value Awards shall be five hundred thousand (500,000); provided, further, that the shares that become available for issuance
under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) and 5(a)(iii) above shall only be available for Full Value Awards or Awards that are not Full Value Awards to the same extent as under the Prior Plan. Any Shares distributed pursuant to an
Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Common Shares or Common Shares purchased on the open market. 

(b) Limits on Awards. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14, the following additional limits shall apply
to Awards under the Plan: 
 (i) The maximum aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan is five hundred thousand (500,000). 
 (ii) The maximum number of Common Shares that may be made
subject to Options or SARs granted under the Plan to any Participant during any one calendar year is five hundred thousand (500,000). 
 (iii) The maximum number of Common Shares that may be made subject to Awards, other than Options or SARs, granted under the Plan that are Share-denominated and are either Share- or cash-settled to any
Participant during any one calendar year is one million (1,000,000). 
 (c) Share Usage. Shares subject to an Award shall
be counted as used for purposes of the Share Limit as of the date of grant. With respect to SARs, the number of Shares subject to an Award of SARs will be counted against the aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Plan in
settlement of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights regardless of the number of Shares actually issued to settle the SAR upon exercise. The target number of Shares issuable under an Award that vests based upon the attainment of Performance Goals or
other performance-based objectives shall be counted against the aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Plan as of the date of grant, but such number shall be adjusted to equal the actual number of Shares issued upon
settlement of such Award to the extent different from such target number of Shares. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the
extent of such forfeiture, expiration, or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Share Limit and shall
not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any
tax withholding obligation with respect to an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right; (iii) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the Share-settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise
thereof; and (iv) Shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options. Any Shares repurchased by the Company at the same price paid by the Participant, so that such Shares are returned to the Company, shall
again be available for future grants of Awards. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available 

  
 6 








 
for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(c), no Shares may again be optioned, granted, or awarded if such action would cause an ISO to fail to
qualify as an incentive stock option under section 422 of the Code. 
 6. Eligibility. 

Employees, Directors, and Consultants shall be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, provided that no Employee, Director, or
Consultant shall be entitled to an Award except as determined by the Committee or as provided by any Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy described in Section 13. 
 7. Awards. 
 (a) Award Agreements. The Committee shall set
forth the terms of each Award in an Award Agreement. An Award Agreement may contain any provision approved by the Committee, subject to the terms of the Plan. An Award Agreement may make provision for any matter that is within the
discretion of the Committee or may reserve for the Committee discretion to approve or authorize any action with respect to the Award. 
 (b) Nonuniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan or Award Agreements, including, without limitation, the selection of Participants to receive Awards; the type,
form, amount, and timing of Awards; and the terms of specific Award Agreements, need not be uniform, regardless of whether Participants are similarly situated. 
 (c) Qualification for Section 162(m) Exception. 
 (i)
Committee’s Certification of Satisfaction of Performance Goals. If the exercisability, payment, or vesting of an Award is conditioned upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals, and the Award is intended to qualify for the exception
under Code section 162(m) for performance-based pay, the condition shall not be considered satisfied, and the Award shall not be exercisable, payable, or vest, as applicable, unless the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been
satisfied. 
 (ii) Satisfaction of Other Requirements. To the extent an Award is intended to qualify for the
exception under Code section 162(m) for performance-based pay, the Committee shall make such provisions in Award Agreements and follow such procedures as may be required to satisfy the conditions of the exception. By way of example, the
Committee shall establish any Performance Goal associated with such an Award by the time within the performance period required for such exception, and the payment terms for such an Award shall conform to the requirements of the exception.

 (d) Discretion. The Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of an outstanding Award but may
reserve discretion to decrease the amount of an outstanding Award or the extent to which it is exercisable or payable. 
 (e)
Provisions Governing All Awards. All Awards will be subject to the following provisions: 
 (i)
Transferability. Except for transfers pursuant to Section 8(b)(vi) or Section 9(b)(v), an Award shall not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Awards requiring exercise
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by the Participant or, in the event the Participant becomes legally incompetent, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 

(ii) Continued Service Rights. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of an Award shall confer on a Participant the
right to continued Service with the Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere with the right of the Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary to terminate a Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or
without Cause. 

  
 7 








 (f) Prohibition on Repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Except
for adjustments pursuant to Section 14, the exercise price of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right may not be repriced. For purposes of this Section 7(f), repricing means any of the following or any other action that
has the same effect: 
 (i) reduction of the exercise price after the grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right;

 (ii) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles; or 

(iii) cancellation of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying
Common Shares, in exchange for cash or another Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or other Award, unless the cancellation and exchange occur in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off, or other similar corporate transaction. 

(g) Misconduct. Should the Committee determine that a Participant has committed Misconduct, then the Participant shall
forfeit all rights under outstanding Awards and all further benefits under or attributable to the Plan, so neither the Participant nor his estate, successors, or beneficiaries shall be entitled to exercise outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights; become vested in Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Profits Interest Units, Dividend Equivalents, or other Awards; be paid any Shares or amounts remaining to be paid upon settlement of an Award or due under a deferred payment
arrangement with respect to an Award; or otherwise be entitled to any further benefit under or attributable to the Plan, any Award, or any Award Agreement. Before making such a determination, the Committee shall give the Participant a
reasonable opportunity to be heard. 
 (h) Recoupment of Awards.

(i) The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement or in a policy applicable to an Award under this Plan that, under conditions
specified in the Award Agreement or policy, the Participant shall forfeit all rights under the Award and all further benefits under or attributable to the Award or the Plan, and the Participant shall be obliged to pay back or return to the Company
amounts or Shares previously paid, distributed, or vested under the Award, including dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Such conditions may include, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, the occurrence of an error in financial
statements that results in the payment of a greater amount of performance-based compensation than would have been paid based on correct financial statements.
 (ii) All Awards (including any proceeds, gains, or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of
any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without
limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(iii) This Section 7(h) and Section 7(g) shall be construed independently of each other; one shall not limit the
application of the other. 
 (i) Share Issuance/Book Entry. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
the ownership of the Common Shares issued under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry or direct registration or the issuance of one or more
certificates. 
 8. Options. 
 (a) Option Grants. The Company shall grant Options to Participants under the Plan in such number, upon such terms, and at such times as the Committee shall determine. 

  
 8 








 (b) Terms of Options. The Award Agreement for an Option shall set
forth such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and as are consistent with the Plan, including the following: 
 (i) Exercise Price. The Committee shall determine the exercise price of each Common Share subject to an Option, which exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the date the Option is granted. 
 (ii) Exercise Period. An Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to
time during such period as the Award Agreement shall specify, provided that no Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date of the grant of the Option. 

(iii) Payment of Price. The exercise price of each Share as to which an Option is exercised must be paid in full at the time
of exercise. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Award Agreement that payment of the exercise may be made: 
 (1) in cash; 
 (2) by tender of Common Shares owned by the Participant valued at
Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise; 
 (3) in Common Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon exercise of
the Option valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise (“net exercise”); 
 (4) in such other form
of consideration as the Committee deems appropriate; or 
 (5) in a combination of cash, Shares (whether then owned or issuable
on exercise), and such other consideration as the Committee deems appropriate. 
 (iv) Conditions on Exercise. An
Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may in its discretion accelerate or waive any condition applicable to the exercise of an Option.

 (v) Termination of Service. The Award Agreement shall specify whether and, if so, the extent to which an Option
shall remain exercisable after the termination of the Participant’s Service, whether by death or otherwise, provided that nothing in this Section 8(b)(v) shall authorize the exercise of an Option later than ten (10) years after
the date of the grant of the Option. 
 (vi) Family Transfers. The Committee may, in the original Award Agreement or an
amendment thereto, specify that a Participant may transfer, not for value, all or part of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8(b)(vi), a “not for value” transfer is a transfer
which is (A) a gift; (B) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (C) unless applicable laws do not permit such transfer, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (and/or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8(b)(vi), any such Nonstatutory Stock Option shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer (including without limitation the provisions of Section 8(b)(v) relating to termination of Service as applied with respect to the original
Participant), and Shares acquired pursuant to the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be subject to the same restrictions with respect to transfer of such Shares as would have applied to the Participant. Subsequent transfers of transferred Nonstatutory
Stock Options shall be prohibited except to Family Members of the original Participant in accordance with this Section 8(b)(vi) or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(vii) No Voting or Dividend Rights. An Option shall carry with it no voting or dividend or other rights associated with Common
Share ownership until the Shares subject thereto are fully paid and issued to such Participant or other person. In addition, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options. 

  
 9 








 (viii) Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Award Agreement
for an Option granted to an Employee shall state whether any part of the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. 

(c) Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to an Employee of the Company
or a subsidiary (within the meaning of Code section 424) and shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions: 

(i) 10 Percent Shareholder. The exercise price of each Common Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted to an
Employee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns (directly and within the meaning of Code section 424(d)) Shares possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company, shall not be less
than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted, and the Option shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date of grant. 

(ii) ISO Limit. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an Option is granted) of the Common
Shares for which an Employee is granted Options designated as Incentive Stock Options first exercisable in any calendar year (under this Plan and under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000, the Option or the lesser excess
part shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 
 (iii) Disqualified Disposition. If a Participant disposes
of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option in a disqualifying disposition within the time periods identified in Code section 422, the Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition and provide the
Company with information as to the date of disposition, sales price, number of Shares involved, and any other information about the disposition that the Company may reasonably request. 
 9. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (a) Grant of Stock Appreciation
Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant to receive from the Company, on the exercise date of the SAR, with respect to each Share for which the SAR is exercised, an amount equal to any excess of the Fair Market Value
of a Share on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR. The Company shall grant SARs to Participants under the Plan in such number, upon such terms, and at such times as the Committee shall determine. 

(b) Terms of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Award Agreement for a Stock Appreciation Right shall set forth such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall determine and as are consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following: 

(i) Exercise Price. The Committee shall determine the exercise price of each Common Share subject to the Stock Appreciation
Right, which price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date the SAR is granted. 
 (ii)
Exercise Period. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during such period as the Award Agreement shall specify, provided that no SAR shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the
date of the grant of the SAR. 
 (iii) Conditions on Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable at
such times and subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may in its discretion accelerate or waive any condition applicable to the exercise of a SAR. 

(iv) Termination of Service. The Award Agreement shall specify whether and, if so, the extent to which a Stock Appreciation
Right shall remain exercisable after the termination of the Participant’s Service, whether by death or otherwise, provided that nothing in this Section 9(b)(iv) shall authorize the exercise of a SAR later than ten (10) years
after the date of the grant of the SAR. 

  
 10 









 (v) Family Transfers. The Committee may, in the original Award Agreement or an
amendment thereto, specify that a Participant may transfer, not for value, all or part of a Stock Appreciation Right to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 9(b)(v), a “not for value” transfer is a transfer which
is (A) a gift; (B) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (C) unless applicable laws do not permit such transfer, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of
the voting interests are owned by Family Members (and/or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 9(b)(v), any such SAR shall continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer (including without limitation the provisions of Section 9(b)(iv) relating to termination of Service as applied with respect to the original Participant), and Shares
acquired pursuant to the SAR shall be subject to the same restrictions with respect to transfer of such Shares as would have applied to the Participant. Subsequent transfers of transferred SARs shall be prohibited except to Family Members of the
original Participant in accordance with this Section 9(b)(v) or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(vi) No Voting or Dividend Rights. A SAR shall carry with it no voting or dividend or other rights associated with Common Share
ownership until, if the SAR is fully or partially settled in Shares pursuant to Section 9(c), the Shares subject thereto are fully issued to such Participant or other person. In addition, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with
respect to SARs. 
 (c) Settlement of Stock Appreciation Rights. On the exercise date of a Stock Appreciation Right,
the Company shall settle the SAR, to the extent exercised, by payment of the amount due in the form of cash, Common Shares valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date, or a combination of cash and Shares, as the Committee may determine.

 10. Restricted Shares. 
 (a) Grant of Restricted Shares. The Company shall grant Restricted Shares to Participants under the Plan at such times, in such numbers, and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

 (b) Terms of Restricted Shares. The Award Agreement for a grant of Restricted Shares shall set forth such terms,
conditions, restrictions, and limits on the Restricted Shares as the Committee shall determine and as are consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following: 
 (i) Conditions on Vesting. The Participant’s interest in Restricted Shares shall be forfeitable when the Award is granted. In the Award Agreement, the Committee shall prescribe
conditions that must be satisfied and the time by which, or time period during which, the conditions must be satisfied, in order for the Participant’s interest to become vested. The conditions may include one or more of the following:

 (1) the satisfaction of specified Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives by a specified time or during a
specified period, 
 (2) the continuance of the Participant’s Service for a specified period, or 

(3) the satisfaction of other specified conditions. 
 The Award Agreement may provide that the extent of the Participant’s vested interest shall be determined by the extent to which a condition is satisfied. The limited period of time provided for
the satisfaction of the conditions on an Award shall be referred to as the “Restricted Period.” 
 (ii)
Vesting. Upon the satisfaction, within the Restricted Period, of the conditions established by the Committee, or as provided in Section 10(b)(iii), the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Shares shall become vested
to the extent provided in the Award Agreement; provided, however, Restricted Shares granted to 

  
 11 









 
Employees shall become vested over a period of not less than three (3) years (or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives,
over a period of not less than one year measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated) following the date the Award is made. The restrictions applicable to those vested Restricted Shares shall lapse at that
time, and the Company shall deliver evidence of ownership of the vested Shares, consistent with Section 7(i), to the Participant or the Participant’s estate or the person to whom the Participant’s rights are transferred by will
or under the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, free of all restrictions, subject to the satisfaction of the Company’s withholding obligations as described in Section 19(c). 

(iii) Accelerated Vesting. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that upon the termination of the
Participant’s Service during the Restricted Period by reason of death, Permanent Disability, retirement, or any other specified termination of Service, or upon the consummation of a Change in Control, the conditions and restrictions on all or a
portion of the Restricted Shares shall lapse, and the Participant’s interest in those Shares shall become vested. 
 (iv)
Forfeiture. Except as provided by the Committee in accordance with Section 10(b)(iii), the Participant shall forfeit Restricted Shares upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, to the extent the conditions prescribed by
the Committee have not been satisfied. Upon such a forfeiture, all of the Participant’s interest in the forfeited Restricted Shares shall automatically revert to the Company. 

(v) Registration; Restricted Share Certificate. Pursuant to Section 7(i), to the extent that ownership of
Restricted Shares is evidenced by a book-entry registration or direct registration, such registration shall be notated to evidence the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Shares under the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. Subject
to Section 7(i) and the immediately following sentence, the Company may issue, in the name of each Participant to whom Restricted Shares have been granted, certificates representing the total number of Restricted Shares granted to the
Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of grant of such Restricted Shares. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement with respect to an Award of Restricted Shares that either (i) the Company shall hold such
certificates for the Participant’s benefit until such time as the Restricted Shares are forfeited to the Company or the restrictions applicable thereto lapse and such Participant shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to each
certificate, or (ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Participant; provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and make
appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed on such Restricted Shares under the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

(vi) Voting and Dividend Rights. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, the Participant to whom
Restricted Shares have been granted shall be entitled, during the Restricted Period, to vote those Shares and to receive the dividends payable with respect to those Shares. If the vesting of an Award of Restricted Shares is conditioned on the
satisfaction of Performance Goals or other performance-related conditions, dividends on such Restricted Shares shall be deferred and held in escrow or deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period and shall not vest
unless the Performance Goals or other performance-related conditions for the underlying Award of Restricted Shares are achieved, and if such Performance Goals or other performance-related conditions are not achieved, the Participant shall promptly
forfeit such deferred or reinvested dividend payments. 
 11. Restricted Share Units. 

(a) Grant of Restricted Share Units. A Restricted Share Unit shall entitle a Participant to a Share, the Fair Market Value of
a Share in cash, or a combination of the two, at a future date, subject to the satisfaction of any terms and conditions specified by the Committee. The Company shall grant Restricted Share Units to Participants under the Plan at such times, in
such numbers, and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. 

  
 12 









 (b) Terms of Restricted Share Units. The Award Agreement for Restricted Share
Units shall set forth such terms, conditions, restrictions, and limits on the RSUs as the Committee shall determine and as are consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following: 

(i) Conditions on Vesting. The Participant’s interest in an Award of Restricted Share Units shall be forfeitable when
the Award is granted. In the Award Agreement, the Committee shall prescribe conditions that must be satisfied and the time by which, or time period during which, the conditions must be satisfied, in order for the Participant’s interest to
become vested. The conditions may include one or more of the following: 
 (1) the satisfaction of specified Performance
Goals or other performance-based objectives by a specified time or during a specified period, 
 (2) the continuance of the
Participant’s Service for a specified period, or 
 (3) the satisfaction of other specified conditions. 

The Award Agreement may provide that the extent of the Participant’s vested interest shall be determined by the extent to which a
condition is satisfied. The limited period of time provided for the satisfaction of the conditions on an Award shall be referred to as the “Restricted Period.” 

(ii) Vesting. Upon the satisfaction, within the Restricted Period, of the conditions established by the Committee, or as
provided in Section 11(b)(iii), the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Share Units shall become vested to the extent provided in the Award Agreement; provided, however, Restricted Share Units granted to Employees
shall become vested over a period of not less than three (3) years (or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives, over a period of not less than one year measured from the
commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated) following the date the Award is made. 
 (iii) Accelerated
Vesting. The Committee may provide that upon the termination of the Participant’s Service during the Restricted Period by reason of death, Permanent Disability, retirement, or any other specified termination of Service, or upon the
consummation of a Change in Control, the conditions and restrictions on all or a portion of the Restricted Share Units shall lapse, and the Restricted Period with respect to those RSUs shall expire. 

(iv) Forfeiture. Except as provided by the Committee in accordance with Section 11(b)(iii), the Participant shall
forfeit Restricted Share Units upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, to the extent the conditions prescribed by the Committee have not been satisfied. Upon such a forfeiture, all of the Participant’s interest in the forfeited
Restricted Share Units shall automatically revert to the Company. 
 (v) No Voting or Dividend Rights. A Restricted
Share Unit shall carry with it no voting or dividend or other rights associated with Common Share ownership. 
 (vi) Dividend
Equivalents. Notwithstanding Section 11(b)(v), and subject to Section 12(b), the Committee may but need not provide that a bookkeeping account established for a Participant shall be credited with an amount
equivalent to the amount of dividends that would be payable with respect to a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Share Units awarded to the Participant. The Committee may provide for the crediting of interest on any Dividend
Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account or may provide that the Dividend Equivalent credit be adjusted for hypothetical investment experience in such manner as the Committee may determine. If the Participant forfeits his or her
interest in a Restricted Share Unit, the Participant shall simultaneously forfeit any Dividend Equivalents (as adjusted) attributable to those Restricted Share Units. 

  
 13 









 (c) Payment of Vested Restricted Share Units. 

(i) Payment of vested Restricted Share Units and other amounts credited to a Participant’s account shall be made at such time or
times after the expiration of the Restricted Period as the Committee may establish. The Committee may but need not provide that a Participant may elect to defer payment until such time or times as the Committee may allow. The Committee may
provide for payments in lump sums or installments or both. The Committee shall establish procedures for its establishment of the time of payment and for the form and timing of a Participant’s deferral and payment elections. All
elections shall conform to the Committee’s procedures. The Committee’s procedures shall conform to the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 (ii) The Committee may, in its discretion, change the procedures for elections, change the time to which payment may be deferred, and change the availability of lump sum or installment payments. The
Committee may provide that such changes will apply to Restricted Share Units and other amounts already credited to a Participant’s account, with respect to which a Participant may have already made deferral and payment elections, but only to
the extent such changes would not cause the Plan to fail to conform to the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 (iii) The
Company shall not establish any special fund with respect to a Participant’s account. Any credit entries made to a Participant’s account shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make payments to the Participant, subject to
and in accordance with the Plan, from the general assets of the Company, when the payments become due. 
 (iv) To the extent
that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 12. Other Awards. 
 (a) General. The Committee may determine,
subject to the terms of the Plan, that the Company shall grant Awards that are not described in Sections 8 through 11, but that provide for the issuance of Common Shares, or that are denominated in or measured by the Fair Market Value of a
Share, or that provide for payment in the form of Shares, rather than cash under any Company bonus or incentive program. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such other Awards and the Participants to whom and the
numbers in which such other Awards shall be granted. The Committee may condition the exercisability, vesting, and payment of such other Awards upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives. 

(b) Dividend Equivalents. Subject to Section 8(b)(vii) and Section 9(b)(vi), Dividend Equivalents may be
granted by the Committee, either alone or in tandem with another Award, based on dividends declared on the Common Shares, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date the Dividend Equivalents are granted to a
Participant and the date such Dividend Equivalents terminate or expire, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula, at such time, and subject to such limitations as may
be determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents with respect to Shares covered by an Award whose vesting is conditioned on the satisfaction of a Performance Goal, other performance-related objectives, or Service vesting shall only be paid out
to the Participant at the same time or times and to the same extent that such vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests with respect to such Shares. Nothing in this Section 12(b) or otherwise under the Plan shall
be construed to prohibit the payment of distributions from the Partnership in respect of Profits Interests Units as provided for by the Committee in the Award Agreement for such Profits Interests Units (or which otherwise may apply to Awards of
Profits Interest Units under the Partnership Agreement). 
 (c) Profits Interest Units (LTIP Units). 

(i) The Committee is authorized to grant Profits Interest Units in such amount and subject to such terms and conditions as may be
determined by the Committee; provided, however, that Profits Interest Units may only 

  
 14 









 
be issued to a Participant for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (i) in the Participant’s capacity as a partner of the Partnership, (ii) in
anticipation of the Participant becoming a partner of the Partnership, or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee, provided that the Profits Interest Units are intended to constitute “profits interests” within the
meaning of the Code, including, to the extent applicable, Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 and Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191. 
 (ii) The Committee shall specify the conditions and dates upon which the Profits Interest Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable. The conditions may include one or more of the following: (1) the
satisfaction of specified Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives by a specified time or during a specified period, (2) the continuance of the Participant’s Service for a specified period, or (3) the satisfaction of
other specified conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Profits Interest Units granted to Employees shall become vested over a period of not less than three (3) years (or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of Performance Goals
or other performance-based objectives, over a period of not less than one year measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated) following the date the Award is made; provided, further, that the
Committee may provide that such vesting restrictions may lapse or be waived upon the Participant’s death, Permanent Disability, retirement, or any other specified termination of Service or upon the consummation of a Change in Control. Profits
Interest Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement and such other restrictions, including restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may impose. These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination
at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. 
 13. Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the grant of any Award to a Non-Employee Director shall be made by the Board only pursuant to a written
nondiscretionary formula established by the Board (a “Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy”). A Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy shall set forth the type of Awards to be granted to Non-Employee Directors; the
number of Shares to be subject to Awards to be granted to Non-Employee Directors; the conditions on which such Awards shall be granted, become exercisable, payable, and expire; and such other terms and conditions as the Board determines in its
discretion. Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be subject to all of the limits set forth in this Plan. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, the maximum
aggregate grant date fair value of one or more Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000). 
 14. Required Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation,
separation, including a spin off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code section 368), or any partial or complete liquidation
of the Company, such adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares available for Awards under Section 5, in the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, in the exercise or purchase price under outstanding Awards, and
in the limits on Awards and the issuance of Shares set forth in Section 5, as determined by the Committee to be appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the Plan and of the rights of
Participants; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to an Award shall always be a whole number. In a stock-for-stock acquisition of the Company, the Committee may, in its discretion, substitute securities of
another issuer for any Shares subject to outstanding Awards. 
 Except as expressly provided in this Section 14, the
issuance by the Company of shares of any class or securities convertible into shares of any class, for cash, property, labor, or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants, or upon the conversion of shares or obligations of
the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to Awards previously granted or the exercise
or purchase price per Share under outstanding Awards. 

  
 15 









 15. Change in Control. 
 The following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change in Control: 
 (a) If
and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan (i) are assumed by the successor corporation (or an affiliate of the successor) or continued or (ii) are replaced with equity awards that preserve the existing value of the Awards at
the time of the Change in Control and provide for subsequent payout in accordance with a vesting schedule and Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives, as applicable, that are the same or more favorable to the Participants than the
vesting schedule and Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives applicable to the Awards, then all such Awards or such substitutes for them shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the
Plan subject to Section 15(d). 
 (b) If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed,
continued, or replaced in accordance with Section 15(a), then upon the Change in Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that: (i) outstanding Options and SARs shall immediately vest and become exercisable; and
(ii) the restrictions and other conditions applicable to outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, and other Share-based Awards, including vesting requirements, shall immediately lapse, and any Performance Goals or other
performance-based objectives relevant to such Awards shall be deemed to have been achieved at the target performance level; such Awards shall be free of all restrictions and fully vested; and, with respect to Restricted Share Units, shall be payable
immediately in accordance with their terms or, if later, as of the earliest permissible date under Code section 409A (collectively, the “Change in Control Treatment”). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, unless the
Change in Control is a change in the ownership or effective control or of ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Code section 409A), a Change in Control shall not accelerate the time of payment of
Restricted Share Units and other Awards and amounts payable under the Plan that are deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A. 
 (c) In addition, if and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed, continued, or replaced in accordance with Section 15(a), then in connection with the Committee
determination in Section 15(b) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for cancellation of such outstanding Awards at the time of the Change in Control in which case a payment of cash, property, or a combination of cash
and property shall be made to each such Participant upon the consummation of the Change in Control that is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and that is at least equal to the excess (if any) of the value of the consideration that
would be received in such Change in Control by the holders of the Company’s securities relating to such Awards over the exercise or purchase price (if any) for such Awards (except that, in the case of an Option or SAR, such payment shall be
limited as necessary to prevent the Option or SAR from being subject to Code section 409A). 
 (d) If and to the extent that
(i) outstanding Awards are assumed, continued, or replaced in accordance with Section 15(a) above and (ii) a Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company (or a successor corporation or an affiliate of such successor)
for any reason other than Cause or by such Participant for Good Reason, in each case, within the two (2)-year period commencing on the Change in Control, then, as of the date of such Participant’s termination, the Change-in-Control Treatment
set forth in Section 15(b) above shall automatically apply to all assumed or replaced Awards of such Participant then outstanding. 
 (e) Outstanding Options or SARs that are assumed, continued, or replaced in accordance with Section 15(a) may be exercised by the Participant in accordance with the applicable terms and
conditions of such Award as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or elsewhere; provided, however, that Options or SARs that become exercisable in accordance with Section 15(d) may be exercised until the expiration of
the original full term of such Option or SAR notwithstanding the other original terms and conditions of such Award. 
 16. Approval of
Shareholders; Term of Awards. If shareholder approval of the Plan, as amended and restated, is not obtained within twelve (12) months of the Amendment Date, any Awards granted under the Plan following


  
 16 









 
the Amendment Date shall automatically be cancelled, except to the extent such Award could have been made under the Prior Plan, as determined and provided by the Committee. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no ISO shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Amendment Date. 
 17. Amendment of Awards. Subject to Section 7(f) (prohibition against repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights), the Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any
outstanding Award to the extent the Committee determines necessary or desirable; provided, however, that an amendment that would be adverse to the interests of the Participant or, with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, that would
prevent the Option from qualifying as an ISO, shall not be effective without the holder’s consent.
 18. Term; Amendment and Termination
of Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Amendment Date, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section 18. The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any
portion of the Plan at any time; provided no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if such approval is required by applicable law or the requirements of an applicable stock exchange, or if such amendment would allow the grant of
Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at an exercise price below Fair Market Value at the date of grant; provided further that no such amendment, suspension, or termination shall adversely affect the rights under any outstanding Award without
the holder’s consent. 
 19. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan
is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before the Participant receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant with respect to such benefit, shall be in a form
prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, any benefits remaining payable under the Plan at
the Participant’s death shall be paid when due to the Participant’s estate unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. 
 (b) Deferrals. Pursuant to the applicable requirements of Code section 409A, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares
that would otherwise be due pursuant to the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units, or in connection with any other Awards. If any such deferral is required or permitted, the Committee shall
establish rules and procedures for such deferrals in compliance with the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 (c)
Satisfaction of Tax Liabilities. 
 (i) The Company, the Partnership, and its Subsidiaries shall have the power and the
right to deduct or withhold, or to require a Participant to remit to the Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary, an amount that the Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary reasonably determines to be required to comply with federal, state,
local, or foreign tax withholding requirements with respect to the vesting, settlement, or exercise of, or payment with respect to, an Award. The Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary may require the payment of such taxes before Shares or
cash deliverable pursuant to such Award are transferred to the holder of the Award. 
 (ii) The Committee may allow a
Participant to elect to pay the Company’s, the Partnership’s, or a Subsidiary’s minimum statutory withholding tax obligation with respect to an Award to be settled in Shares by the withholding of Shares from the total number of Shares
deliverable pursuant to the Award, or by delivering to the Company a sufficient number of previously-acquired Shares, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Previously-acquired Shares delivered in
payment for such taxes may be subject to such conditions as the Committee may require. The value of each Share withheld, or delivered, shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined. 

  
 17 









 (d) No Alienation. Except to the extent required by law, the right of a
Participant or beneficiary to payment under this Plan shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or beneficiary. 

20. Restrictions on Issuance of Common Shares. 
 Should the Board of Directors determine that the listing, registration, or qualification of Common Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection with the issuance or delivery of Common Shares under the Plan, no such Common Shares shall be issued or delivered unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent, or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors. The Company shall not be required to offer, sell, or issue any Common Shares under any Award, whether pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or SAR or otherwise, if the offer, sale, or issuance of such Shares would constitute a violation by the Participant, any other individual or entity exercising an Option or SAR, or the Company, the Partnership, or a Subsidiary
of any provision of applicable laws, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations. 
 The
certificates representing Common Shares issued by the Company under the Plan may bear a legend describing any restrictions on resale of such Common Shares under applicable securities laws, and stop transfer orders with respect to such certificates
may be entered on the Company’s stock transfer records. 
 21. Construction. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with the law
of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan, the Awards, and any Award Agreement to the substantive laws of any other
jurisdiction. With respect to Options granted under the Plan that are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, the terms of the Plan and of each Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to give effect to
such intention. With respect to Awards granted under the Plan that are intended to qualify for the exception under Code section 162(m) for performance-based pay, the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be construed and administered
to give effect to such intention, unless the Committee determines to waive the application of such exception. With respect to Awards granted under the Plan that provide for the payment of deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code
section 409A), the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be construed to conform to the requirements of Code section 409A for the deferral (until payment) of the inclusion of the compensation in gross income. 

22. Section 83(b) Election. No Participant may make an election under Code section 83(b) with respect to any Award under the Plan without the
consent of the Committee, which the Committee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. If, with the consent of the Committee, a Participant makes an election under Code section 83(b) to be taxed with respect to an Award as of the date of
transfer of the Award, rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Award would otherwise be taxable under Code section 83(a), the Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such
election with the Internal Revenue Service. 
 23. Grant of Awards to Certain Employees or Consultants. The Company, the Partnership, or
any Subsidiary may provide, through the establishment of a formal written policy or otherwise, for the method by which Shares or other securities and/or payment therefor may be exchanged or contributed among such entities, or may be returned upon
any forfeiture of Shares or other securities by the Participant, for the purpose of ensuring that the relationship between the Company, the Partnership, and any Subsidiary remains at arm’s-length. 

  
 18 









 24. REIT Status. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the
Company’s status as a real estate investment trust (REIT). No Award shall be granted or awarded, and with respect to any Award granted under the Plan, such Award shall not vest, be exercisable, or be settled: 

(a) to the extent that the grant, vesting, exercise, or settlement of such Award could cause the Participant or any other person to be in
violation of the Ownership Limit (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, dated May 6, 1996, as amended and supplemented from time to time) or any other provision of the Company’s charter, including without limitation
Section 2 thereof; or 
 (b) if, in the discretion of the Committee, the grant, vesting, exercise, or settlement of such
Award could impair the Company’s status as a REIT.
