Phantom Units Subject to Section 4 below, each Phantom Unit that vests shall represent the right to receive payment, in accordance with Section 5 below, in the form of one (1) Unit. Unless and until a Phantom Unit vests, the Participant will have no right to payment in respect of such Phantom Unit. Prior to actual payment in respect of any vested Phantom Unit, such Phantom Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Partnership, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Partnership.
Restricted Units The Restricted Units are restricted in that they may be forfeited to the Company and in that they may not, except as otherwise provided in Section 5, be transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Director until such restrictions are removed or expire as described in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Company shall issue in the Director’s name the Restricted Units and retain the Restricted Units until the restrictions on such Restricted Units expire or until the Restricted Units are forfeited as described in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Director agrees that the Company will hold the Restricted Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until such time as the Restricted Units are either delivered to the Director or forfeited pursuant to this Agreement.
Company RSUs “Company RSUs” shall mean restricted stock units with respect to Shares, other than restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting.
Company Options As of the Transaction Effective Time, by virtue of the Transaction Merger, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Purchaser and shall be converted into a right (an “Adjusted Option”) to acquire Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.8(d). Each such Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, including the same vesting schedule as the applicable Company Option (and no Company Option shall have its vesting accelerated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (provided, that no Adjusted Options shall be exercisable prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) sixty (60) days after the Company Option holder’s termination of employment or termination of service with the Purchaser and its “affiliates” (within the meaning of the Company Stock Plan)), except that as of the Transaction Effective Time, the Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (a) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option, divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio; provided that the exercise price and/or the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that may be purchased under the Adjusted Option shall be further adjusted to the extent required to remain compliant with, or exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and provided further, that in the case of Company Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Further, with respect to three percent (3%) of the shares which can be acquired under each Adjusted Option (such 3%, the “Reserved Portion”), in addition to the above-described exercisability restrictions applicable to the Adjusted Option, the Reserved Portion shall (A) in no event be exercisable until after the Expiration Date, (B) immediately after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, the Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders, net of the number of Escrow Shares retained for Pending Claims, bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) and (C) with respect to the portion of the Reserved Portion equal to the number of Escrow Shares retained after the Expiration Date for Pending Claims divided by the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) (the “Pending Reserved Portion”), (I) such Pending Reserved Portion shall continue to not be exercisable until after the final resolution of all Pending Claims, and (II) upon the final resolution of all Pending Claims, the Pending Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders (or, to the extent required by Section 2.9(h), to the Purchaser for distribution to such Company Holders) bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the period of exercisability of an Adjusted Option, including the Reserved Portion, shall not be extended. For purposes of this Agreement, “Exchange Ratio” means the ratio at which a share of Company Common Stock is exchanged for shares of Purchaser Common Stock at the Transaction Effective Time, as calculated pursuant to Section 2.7. From and after the Transaction Effective Time, (i) all references to the Company (including any references relating to a “Sale Event” involving the Company) in the Company Stock Plan and in each agreement evidencing any outstanding award of Company Options shall be deemed to refer to the Purchaser and (ii) the aggregate number of awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan shall be adjusted to an amount equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares subject to awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Prior to the Transaction Effective Time, the Company Stock Plan shall be amended, to the extent necessary, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8(d), including the conversion of the Company Options and the substitution of the Purchaser for the Company thereunder to the extent appropriate to effectuate the assumption of such Company Stock Plan by the Purchaser. Promptly after the Closing, the Purchaser shall take all action necessary or appropriate in accordance with applicable securities Laws to have available for issuance under an effective registration statement filed with the SEC a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Options. As of the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), all rights under any Company Option and any provision of the Company Stock Plan providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be cancelled. The Company shall ensure that, as of and after the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), no Person shall have any rights under the Company Stock Plan.
Class B Units The term “Class B Units” means the Units having the privileges, preferences, and rights specified with respect to “Class B Units” in this Agreement, including those described in Section 7.1(c)(3).

The issuance and sale of such Parent Common Stock and such preferred shares of beneficial interest of the Parent either (i) has been registered under applicable federal and state securities laws or (ii) was issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Parent meets the requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code.
RSUs The Continuing Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Original RSU Award Documents, on the same basis as such stock units would have become vested if Executive had remained employed under this Agreement through the Scheduled Expiration Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such Continuing Stock Units shall be subject to, and administered in accordance with, the Original RSU Award Documents. Any of Executive’s restricted stock unit awards that have not become vested on or before the Termination Date, and that are outstanding at the Termination Date, but which are not Continuing Stock Units, shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Original RSU Award Documents:
Units Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. The Units initially are comprised of one Class: Class A Units. The General Partner may establish, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, other Classes, one or more series of any such Classes, or other Partnership securities with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be determined by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Units or other Partnership securities (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Unit or other Partnership security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Unit or other Partnership security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Total Percentage Interest as to such Units or other Partnership securities; and (viii) the right, if any, of the holder of each such Unit or other Partnership security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units or other Partnership securities. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units and any other Classes that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
Company Restricted Stock Units At the Effective Time of the First Merger, each Company Restricted Stock Unit then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSU”). Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any applicable award or other agreement, each Assumed RSU shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (or an amount in respect thereof for cash settled Company Restricted Stock Unit) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock). Each Company Restricted Stock Unit shall have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger other than with respect to those Company Restricted Stock Units listed (i) in Section 5.9(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that were subject to performance based vesting conditions prior to the date of this Agreement and that shall be deemed issued and vested in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger and released from any forfeiture rights pertaining to such shares in favor of Company, Parent or Surviving Entity, and (ii) in Section 5.9(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall be deemed issued in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger, which shall be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock according to the same formula applied to the Assumed RSUs above, and which shall be subject to quarterly vesting over a two-year period following the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c). Company shall not take or permit any action that would accelerate vesting of any Company Restricted Stock Unit, except to the extent required by the terms of any such Company Restricted Stock Unit as in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such Company Restricted Stock Unit and the vesting thereof have been provided to Parent. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c), all outstanding rights that Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be assigned to Parent in the First Merger and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.
Restricted Share Units Restricted Share Units means Restricted Share Units granted to Participant under the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of issuance.
