PERFORMANCE
CRITERIA
The
number of Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) that shall vest, if any, will be
determined by the Compensation Committee as soon as practicable after the
completion of a seven year Performance Cycle, (which shall commence July 1, 2010
and June 30, 2017) using the following Performance Criteria:
Return on
Capital: One-half of the awarded Units, or an aggregate of _________
Units, are subject to an average annualized return on capital metric for the
period from July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2017. In order for all of the
Units subject to the return on capital metric to vest and for the underlying
______ shares of the Company’s common stock be issued to the Participant, the
average annualized return on capital for the seven year Performance Cycle must
be at least 10%. In order for a portion of these Units to vest and
for underlying shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued with respect to
the Units which vest, the average annualized return on capital for the
Performance Cycle must exceed 8%. If the average annualized return
exceeds 8%, but is less than 10% for the Performance Cycle, then a pro rata
number of Units shall vest and the underlying shares of the Company’s common
stock with respect to the Units which vest will be issued. Return on
capital will be based upon adjusted funds from operations
(AFFO). AFFO is defined as funds from operations (FFO) determined in
accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
definition, adjusted for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease
intangibles. Capital is defined as stockholders’ equity, plus
depreciation and amortization, adjusted for intangibles.
Total
Stockholder Return: One-half of the awarded Units, or an aggregate of
_______ Units, are subject to a total stockholder return metric averaged for the
period from July 1, 2010-June 30, 2017. Each year (July 1st through
the following June 30th) total
stockholder return for such year shall be calculated using the following
formula: the closing price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s
common stock at the end of the measuring period (the applicable June 30th) minus
the closing price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock at the
start of the measuring period (the applicable July 1st) plus
all dividends paid during the measuring period shall be divided by the closing
price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock at the commencement of
the measuring period (the applicable July 1st). Once
total stockholder return has been calculated for each of the seven years in the
performance cycle, an average of such seven year total stockholder return shall
be determined. In order for all of these Units to vest and the
underlying shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued, the average
annualized total stockholder return for the seven year period must be 13%, and
for a portion of the Units to vest and the underlying shares of the Company’s
common stock be issued, the average annualized total stockholder return for the
seven year period must exceed 10.25%. If the average annualized total
shareholder return exceeds 10.25%, but is less than 13% for the seven year
period, then a pro rata number of Units shall vest and the underlying shares of
the Company’s common stock with respect to the Units which vest shall be
issued.
