Unless otherwise determined by the Board and set forth on Schedule I, as amended from time to time by the Board, Eligible Participants shall not be paid a fee for meetings of the Board or a committee thereof in which he or she participates.

The amount reimbursable in any one tax year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other tax year.

ARTICLE 6
EQUITY COMPENSATION

6.1.    INITIAL RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT.  

(a)    Subject to share availability under the Incentive Plan and the terms of this Section 6.1(a), each Independent Director elected or appointed to the Board prior to the date that the Company has issued 12,500,000 Shares in the aggregate from its Offerings (the “Minimum Issuance Date”) shall receive an award of shares of Restricted Stock (the “Initial Restricted Stock Grant”) on the last business day of the first full calendar quarter immediately following the Minimum Issuance Date (the “Initial Grant Date”), provided such Independent Director remains an Independent Director as of the Initial Grant Date. The number of shares of Restricted Stock granted as the Initial Restricted Stock Grant is set forth on Schedule I.   Such shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and restrictions described below in Section 6.1(b) and shall be in addition to the Annual Restricted Stock Grant (as defined in Section 6.2).  The Minimum Issuance Date occurred during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018, and, accordingly, the Initial Restricted Stock Grant will be made on March 29, 2019, to Eligible Participants who were serving as Independent Directors as of the Minimum Issuance Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, any person who becomes an Eligible Participant after the Minimum Issuance Date shall not receive an Initial Restricted Stock Grant.

(b)    Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Initial Restricted Stock Grant under this Section 6.1 shall be evidenced by a written Award Certificate, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions described herein and in the Incentive Plan and Award Certificate.  Unless and until provided otherwise by the Board, the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Initial Restricted Stock Grant shall vest and become non-forfeitable in three equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Initial Grant Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedules, the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Initial Restricted Stock Grant shall become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of (i) the termination of the grantee’s service as a director of the Company due to his or her death or Disability, or (ii) a Change in Control of the Company. If the grantee’s service as a director of 

the Company terminates other than as described in clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, then the grantee shall forfeit all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any unvested shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of such termination from the Board and such Restricted Stock shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the grantee. 

6.2    ANNUAL RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT.  

(a)    Subject to share availability under the Incentive Plan and the terms of this Section 6.2(a), each Eligible Participant shall receive an award of shares of Restricted Stock upon his or her initial election or subsequent re-election to the Board (the “Annual Restricted Stock Grant”).  The dollar value of the Annual Restricted Stock Grant is set forth on Schedule I, which may be amended from time to time by the Board. The Annual Restricted Stock Grant shall be granted on the third business day following the date of the Annual Meeting at which an Eligible Participant is elected or re-elected to the Board (the “Annual Grant Date”).  The number of shares in the Annual Restricted Stock Grant shall be determined by (i) dividing the Annual Restricted Stock Grant dollar value as in effect for that Plan Year by the Fair Market Value of the Class I Stock on the Annual Grant Date, and (ii) rounding to the nearest whole number.  Such shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and restrictions described below in Section 6.2(b).  A pro rata Annual Restricted Stock Grant will be paid to any person who becomes an Eligible Participant on a date other than the beginning of a Plan Year, based on the number of full months remaining in the Plan Year prior to the next Annual Meeting.  The grant of such prorated Annual Restricted Stock Grant will be made on the date that the person first becomes an Eligible Participant.

(b)    Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Annual Restricted Stock Grant under this Section 6.2 shall be evidenced by a written Award Certificate, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions described herein and in the Incentive Plan and Award Certificate.  Unless and until provided otherwise by the Board, the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Annual Restricted Stock Grant shall vest and become non-forfeitable at the point in time immediately preceding the first Annual Meeting that occurs following the Annual Grant Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedules, the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Annual Restricted Stock Grant shall become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of (i) the termination of the grantee’s service as a director of the Company due to his or her death or Disability, or (ii) a Change in Control of the Company. If the grantee’s service as a director of the Company terminates other than as described in clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, then the grantee shall forfeit all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any unvested shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of such termination from the Board and such Restricted Stock shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the grantee.

ARTICLE 7
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

7.1.    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.  The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, require stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of a securities exchange on which the Stock is listed or traded, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided further, that the Board may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason.  

ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to each of the following restrictions. “Restricted Shares” mean those Shares that are subject to the restrictions imposed hereunder which restrictions have not then expired or terminated. Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered to or in favor of any party other than the Company, or be subjected to any lien, obligation or liability of the Grantee to any other party other than the Company. If Grantee’s service as a director of the Company terminates for any reason other than as set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 2 hereof, then Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as of the date of termination of service, and such Restricted Shares shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Grantee immediately following the event of forfeiture. The restrictions imposed under this Section shall apply to all shares of the Company’s Stock or other securities issued with respect to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock of the Company.

2. Expiration and Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under Section 1 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”):

(a) [as to one-third of the Shares specified on page 1 hereof, on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date] [at the point in time immediately preceding the first Annual Meeting that occurs following the Annual Grant Date], provided Grantee is still providing services as a director of the Company on such date; or 
(b) as to all of the Shares, the termination of Grantee’s service as a director of the Company due to death or Disability; or

4. Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period. Each dividend payment, if any, shall be made at the same time that such dividend is paid to all other shareholders. Any non-cash dividends shall be subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 1. If Grantee forfeits any rights he may have under this Award Certificate, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares or any interest therein and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to receive dividends on such stock. In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such stock after such forfeiture, Grantee shall repay to the Company any amount equal to such dividends.

5. No Right of Continued Service. Nothing in this Award Certificate shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s service as a director at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue service as a director of the Company.

6. Payment of Taxes. Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed upon such award under Section 83(b) of the Code.  To effect such election, Grantee 

 
may file an appropriate election with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.

The obligations of the Company under this Award Certificate will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from the award or any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.

7. Amendment. The Board or Committee, if applicable, may amend, modify or terminate this Award Certificate without approval of Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested (i.e., as if all restrictions on the Shares hereunder had expired) on the date of such amendment or termination.

8. Plans Control. The terms contained in the Plans are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Certificate and this Award Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plans.
