NonQualified Stock Option Agreement

 EXHIBT 10.6 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between The Colonial BancGroup,
Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as “BancGroup”), and [NAME] (hereinafter referred to as “Optionee”). 
 WHEREAS, Optionee is a valuable and trusted employee of BancGroup (or a subsidiary of BancGroup), and BancGroup considers it desirable and in its best
interest that Optionee be given an inducement to achieve certain objectives as set forth in The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), adopted by the Board on the 17th day of January, 2001, and ratified by the
stockholders of BancGroup on the 18th day of April, 2001. 
 WHEREAS, BancGroup believes that the issuance to Optionee of an option to
purchase Stock will serve as such an inducement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, it is agreed by and between the parties
as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Grant of Option. 

 BancGroup grants to Optionee the
right, privilege, and option to purchase [OPTIONS GRANTED] shares of Stock at the purchase price of $[PRICE] per share in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter provided and as provided in the Plan. The effective date of this option is
[GRANT DATE] (which date is the date on which this option was granted by the Committee or such other date designated by the Committee). 
  

	 	2.	Time of Exercise of Option. 

 Except as set forth
herein, the aforesaid option may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, until the termination thereof as provided in Section 4 below; provided, however, that the options granted herein shall vest, provided the

this option, 60% on the third anniversary of the effective date of this option, 80% on the fourth anniversary of the effective date of this option, and 100% on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this option. 
  

	 	3.	Method of Exercise. 

 The option shall be exercised
by written notice directed to the Committee, at the principal place of business of BancGroup, accompanied by a certified or cashier’s check in payment of the option price for the number of shares specified and paid for. BancGroup shall make
immediate delivery of such shares, provided that if any law or regulation requires BancGroup to take any action with respect to the shares specified in such notice before the issuance thereof, then the date of delivery of such shares shall be
extended for the period necessary to take such action. 
  

	 	4.	Termination of Option. 

 Except as herein otherwise
stated, the option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following dates: 
 (a) the expiration of three (3) months after the date on which Optionee’s employment with BancGroup, or any of its subsidiaries, is terminated (except if such termination be by a reason of death or Disability); 
 (b) the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which Optionee’s employment with BancGroup, or any of its
subsidiaries, is terminated, if such termination be by reason of Optionee’s Disability;

Optionee’s death while in the employ of BancGroup, or any of its subsidiaries, or during the three-month period described in paragraph 4(a) hereof or during the one-year period described in paragraph 4(b) hereof, and before the option otherwise
lapses, the option shall lapse one year after the date of the appointment of a personal representative for such deceased Optionee’s estate. Upon the Optionee’s death, any exercisable option granted hereunder may be exercised by the
Optionee’s estate or anyone who has acquired the option pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution; 
 (d) the
[TERM DATE] (being the expiration of ten (10) years from the effective date of this option). 
  

 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Optionee’s employment is terminated as a
result of deliberate, willful, or gross misconduct as determined by the Board or the Committee, all rights under this option shall terminate and expire upon such termination. 
  

	 	5.	Rights Prior to Exercise of Option. 

 This option
is non-transferable by Optionee, except in the event of Optionee’s death as provided in Section 4(c) above, and during Optionee’s lifetime is exercisable only by Optionee. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to

 PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT 
 2001 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 PERFORMANCE BASED RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD 
 Name of Participant: [NAME] 
 WHEREAS, the undersigned
has been awarded the number of shares of Restricted Stock under The Colonial BancGroup, Inc.’s 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan effective as of July 1, 2001 (the “Plan”), as set forth below; and 
 WHEREAS, the undersigned wishes, in consideration of this Award and as a condition to the receipt of this Award, to enter into this Agreement with the
Company in accordance with Article 10 of the Plan; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Participant agrees with the Company, as follows: 
 1. All terms capitalized herein shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Plan, unless specified otherwise. 
 2. The undersigned Participant acknowledges that the number of shares subject to this Award is set forth below and that the vesting of
these restricted shares is based on the Company’s earning per share (EPS) performance over the three year period beginning on [START DATE] and ending on [END DATE]. Vesting of these shares is based upon the Company’s average
compound EPS growth relative to the [PEER GROUP] (the vesting summary, the [PEER GROUP] and an example calculation are attached as Exhibit’s A, B, and C, respectively). If an institution in the [PEER GROUP] is acquired or otherwise no
longer reporting EPS on a comparable basis, the institution will be excluded from the calculations. 
 3. Each
certificate in respect of shares made the subject of this Award shall be registered with the Company in the name of the Participant, and Participant shall deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank by the Participant. Such certificate
shall bear a legend, as deemed appropriate by the Company, referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such shares. Upon the vesting of shares of this Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a certificate
representing the number of shares as to which restrictions no longer apply. 
 4. The Participant, as owner of the shares
made the subject of this Award, shall have all the rights of a shareholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all dividends paid on such shares and the right to vote such shares. 
 5. Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason (other than death or disability or as provided for under
Section 6 hereof), unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, all shares made the subject of this Award and which, at the time of such termination are subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph 2 hereof, shall, upon such
termination of employment, be forfeited and returned to the Company. If a Participant’s employment terminates by reason of Death or Disability prior to the vesting date provided for in paragraph 2 hereof, a percentage of the shares made the
subject of this Award shall remain outstanding and become the subject of the performance measure as provided in paragraph 2. To calculate the number of shares that will remain outstanding until the end of the performance period, the following
calculation will be used: [shares awarded hereunder] * [(number of days between the grant date of the shares awarded hereunder and the date of death or disability)/(3 * 365)]. The prorated share total will continue to vest pursuant to the vesting
schedule as set forth in paragraph 2. 
 6. Upon a Change in Control of the Company, which results in the defined performance
criteria (i.e. the Company’s Earnings Per Share) no longer existing, certain shares will vest upon the date of the Change in Control. The number of shares which vest on that date will be based on a daily pro rata basis from [START DATE]
through the date of the Change in Control multiplied by the number of the shares that would have vested if the immediately preceding prior year end had been the end of the performance period, as follows: [performance shares calculated as of the end
of the immediately preceding prior year] * [(number of days between [START DATE] and the date of the Change in Control)/(3 * 365)] 
 7. At the expiration of the restrictions imposed by paragraph 2 hereof with respect to shares made the subject of this Award, the Company shall redeliver to the Participant (or, as appropriate, to such Participant’s legal
representative, beneficiary or heirs) the certificate(s) and stock power deposited with it pursuant to paragraph 3 and the shares represented by such certificates shall be free of the restrictions referred to in paragraph 2. 8. The undersigned
Participant has, in consideration of the grant of this Award, executed a stock power in blank which the Participant has tendered to the Company along with the certificate representing the shares made the subject of this Award but which have not yet
vested. 
 9. This Agreement is subject to, and incorporates by reference, all terms of the Plan. A copy of the Summary and
Section 10(a) Prospectus for the Plan has been furnished to the undersigned Participant, the receipt of which the undersigned hereby acknowledges. 

 10. Failure by the undersigned Participant to comply with any term of this Agreement or
of the Plan, shall result in a forfeiture of any shares which have not yet vested hereunder.

 CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

 2008 EMT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 Overview 
 This Plan Document is designed to outline the provisions of the Crown Castle International Corp. (“CCIC”
or “Company”) 2008 Executive Management Team (EMT) Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of the 1st day of January
2008, in accordance with the terms provided herein. 
 The Company hereby adopts the terms of the Plan as follows: 
 Section 1. Objectives 
 The Company’s main objectives for
the Plan are: 
  

	¡	To provide a compensation package that is competitive with the market. 

  

	¡	To motivate executives by providing the appropriate reward for individual and corporate performance based on Company goals and objectives. 

  

	¡	To focus business unit executives on maximizing results of their business units, while also reinforcing the importance of teamwork at the corporate level. 

 

	¡	To link the Plan’s financial measures with investor expectations. 

  

	¡	To link the Plan’s financial and nonfinancial measures with the individual performance of the executives. 

 Section 2. Plan Year 
 The effective date of this Plan is
January 1, 2008. The Plan will remain in effect from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008 (the “Plan Year”). 
 Section 3.
Administration 
 The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) with oversight by the Board. The Committee shall have the authority to review and approve: (a) the Participants as defined in Section 4, (b) the incentive opportunities for each Participant as defined in
Section 6, (c) the methodology for determining the Performance Goals as defined in Section 7, (d) the minimum performance requirements as described in Section 8, and (e) the final Incentive Awards for the Participants
as described in Section 9. The Committee shall also have the authority to review and approve any proposed amendments to the Plan throughout the Plan Year. The Committee retains the right to discontinue or amend this Plan at any time. The

 The Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) will be responsible for the interpretation and the day-to-day management of the Plan. The CEO shall also make recommendations to the Committee for

 CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

 2008 EMT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 Section 4. Eligibility 
 Executive employees who are selected by the CEO, and are approved by the Committee, will be eligible to participate in the Plan (the “Participants”).

 Section 5. Change in Eligibility Status 
 In
making decisions regarding employees’ participation in the Plan, the CEO may consider any factors that he or she may consider relevant. The following guidelines are provided as general information regarding employee status changes upon the
occurrence of the events described below, provided that recommendation to include an employee in the Plan originates from the CEO: 
  

	(a)	New Hire, Transfer, Promotion. A newly hired, transferred or promoted employee selected and approved as a Participant in the Plan prior to March 1 of the Plan Year may
participate based on a full Plan Year. A newly hired, transferred or promoted employee selected and approved as a Participant in the Plan after March 1 and before November 1 of the Plan Year may participate in the Plan on a pro rata basis
as of the date the Participant was approved into the Plan. A newly hired employee selected and approved as a Participant in the Plan after November 1 of the Plan Year will not be eligible to participate in the Plan until a new Plan Year begins
the following January 1. 

  

	(b)	Demotion. An Incentive Award will generally not be made to an employee who has been demoted during the Plan Year because of performance. 

  

	(c)	Termination. An Incentive Award will generally not be made to any Participant whose services are terminated prior to the payment of the Incentive Award for reasons of
misconduct, failure to perform or other cause. 

  

	(d)	Resignation. An Incentive Award will generally not be made to any Participant who resigns for any reason, including retirement, before the Incentive Award is made. However,
if the Participant has voluntarily terminated his or her employment with the Company’s consent, the Participant may be considered for a pro rata Incentive Award, provided the Participant otherwise qualifies for the Incentive Award.

  

	(e)	Death and Disability. A Participant whose status as an active employee is changed prior to the payment of the Incentive Award for any reason other than the reasons cited
above may be considered for a pro rata Incentive Award, provided the Participant otherwise qualifies for the Incentive Award. In the event that an Incentive Award is made on behalf of an employee who has terminated employment by reason of death, any
such payments or other amounts due will generally be paid to the Participant’s estate. 

 The above guidelines are subject to the terms of
any applicable severance or similar agreements. Nothing in the Plan shall confer any right to any employee to continue in the employ of the Company. 
 Section 6. Incentive Opportunity 
 The CEO will determine, and recommend for approval by the Committee, incentive opportunities for
each Participant. The incentive opportunities will be defined as Incentive Opportunity Zones that represent a range of threshold, target and maximum performance outcomes for which incremental increases in performance will result in incremental
increases in the Incentive Award. 
  

 3 

 CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

 2008 EMT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 Each Incentive Opportunity Zone will include threshold, target and
maximum incentive opportunities. The Participant’s target incentive opportunity will be based on the Participant’s role and responsibilities, and will be expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s base salary. The
Participant’s threshold and maximum incentive opportunities will be expressed as a Payout Multiple of the target incentive opportunity and will also be based on the Participant’s role and responsibilities. The tables set forth on
Exhibit A outline the target Payout Multiples for certain Participant categories. 
 The target incentive opportunity as a multiple of base salary,
and the resulting threshold and maximum opportunities will be determined and approved in writing and kept on file for each Participant in the appropriate Human Resources department. 
 Section 7. Performance Goals 
 Each Participant shall have specific performance goals (the “Performance
Goals”) determined for his or her position for the Plan Year. These Performance Goals will be based on certain financial and nonfinancial performance measures that support the approved business plan of the Company and/or business unit, and
should identify how the Participant will support the achievement of such goals. 
 Two performance categories will generally be used for each Participant:

  

	1.	Corporate/Business Unit Performance – There will be one or more performance measures with equal or different weights that may be used within this category,
including without limitation any one or more of the performance criteria described below: 

 ¡
 Corporate Adjusted EBITDA – calculated as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash compensation. 
 ¡
 Corporate Recurring Cash Flow per Share – calculated as Recurring Cash Flow divided by calendar year-end total CCIC common shares outstanding. 
 ¡ Business Unit Adjusted EBITDA – calculated as Business Unit EBITDA adjusted for Business Unit non-cash compensation. 
 ¡ Business Unit Recurring Cash Flow per Share – calculated as Business Unit Recurring Cash Flow divided
by calendar year-end total common shares outstanding. 
 ¡ Business Unit Net New Sales –
calculated as New Tenant Revenue adjusted for Churn. 
 The Performance Goals for these financial measures will generally be based on the
Company’s 2008 financial budget/forecasts as approved by the Board. 
  

	2.	Individual Performance – The Individual Performance Goals will generally be based on those established using the Company’s annual performance management
system. 

  

 4 

 CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

 2008 EMT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 The target mix and weighting of the Performance Goals for each
Participant will vary depending on the Participant’s role and responsibilities, as set forth on Exhibit B. 
 For the financial performance
measures, threshold, target, and maximum Performance Goals will be established and aligned within the Participant’s applicable Incentive Opportunity Zone as defined above in Section 6. The threshold, target, and maximum Performance Goals
for these financial measures, based on the Company’s budget/forecast for 2008 are set forth on Exhibit C. 
 The threshold, target and maximum
individual Performance Goals will be based on how well the Participant met the goals established using the Company’s annual performance management system. The Individual Performance Goals will be aligned within the Participant’s applicable
Incentive Opportunity Zone. While the interpretation of how well the Individual Performance Goals are met will be more subjective than for financial measures, the following descriptions will be used to interpret individual performance: 

 

	 	1.	Exceeds Expectations – Defined as performance that consistently exceeds established expectations regarding the Participant’s key individual goals.
Performance at this level creates new standards of performance. Individual performance near or at the maximum will be achieved if the participant has exhibited “Exceeds Expectations” performance. 

  

	 	2.	Meets Expectations – Defined as performance that consistently meets and often exceeds established expectations regarding the Participant’s key individual
goals. Individual performance at target will be achieved if the Participant has exhibited “Meets Expectations” performance. 

  

	 	3.	Meets Most Expectations – Defined as performance that often meets established expectations regarding the Participant’s key individual goals, but also
requires some development. Individual performance near or at the minimum will be achieved if the Participant has exhibited “Meets Most Expectations” performance. 

  

	 	4.	Does Not Meet Expectations – Defined as performance that does not consistently meet established expectations regarding the Participant’s key individual goals
and requires significant development. Individual performance at this level will result in no individual annual incentive payment for the Participant. 

 Section 8. Minimum Performance Requirements 
 There are two minimum performance requirements in order to receive a full Annual
Incentive in accordance with the Plan: 
  

	1.	The Minimum Financial Performance Target level set forth on Exhibit C must be achieved for Participants to be eligible for the Annual Incentive. 

  

	2.	The business units or departments for which the Participants are responsible must receive an acceptable 404 assessment of applicable internal controls. The receipt of a 404
assessment with a significant deficiency or other material internal control issues may result in a reduction or elimination of the potential 2008 Annual Incentive for the responsible Participants and potentially all Participants.

 CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

 2008 EMT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 Section 9. Incentive Award Calculation 
 The Incentive Awards will be calculated based on the Incentive Opportunity Zones established for each Participant at the beginning of the Plan Year. The Incentive
Opportunity Zones can be depicted as target Incentive Opportunity Curves that correlate the incentive Payout Multiples with each of the Performance Goals. 
 The target Incentive Opportunity Curves for each of the Performance Goals are set forth on Exhibit D. 
 At Plan Year-end, the following
steps will occur to calculate each Participant’s final Incentive Award: 
  

	¡	The actual performance results will be plotted on each applicable Incentive Opportunity Curve for the Participant. 

	 	–	If actual performance results fall between the threshold and target, or the target and maximum Performance Goals, the Payout Multiples will be calculated by interpolating the actual
performance results with the threshold, target, and maximum Payout Multiples. However, no incentive will be paid if actual results fall below the threshold Performance Goal. 

  

	¡	Each of the resulting Payout Multiples will then be multiplied by the weighted percentage for the applicable Performance Goal. 

  

	¡	The products of each will then be added together to determine the total Payout Multiple for the Participant. 

  

	¡	The total Payout Multiple will then be applied to the Participant’s target Incentive Award as a percentage of base salary to determine the total Incentive Award.

 An illustration of how this calculation is performed is set forth on Exhibit E. 
 Section 10. Incentive Award Payments 
 Incentive Award payments
