Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner with respect to the number of LTIP Units specified above, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein. Upon receipt of the Earned LTIP Units to which the Grantee becomes entitled hereunder, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of such Earned LTIP Units, effective as of the Valuation Date, and the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner with respect to the number of Earned LTIP Units issued to the Grantee, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein.
2.Form of Settlement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval to increase the shares available for issuance under the Plan, the Cash Payment Alternative shall be automatically terminated without further action by any of the parties hereto, and the Grantee will only receive the Earned LTIP Units in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3.Restrictions and Conditions.
(a) The records of GMR OP evidencing the Award LTIP Units granted hereby and the Earned LTIP Units issued pursuant hereto shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by GMR OP in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein and in the Partnership Agreement.
3
(b) Award LTIP Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Grantee in any respect. Earned LTIP Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Grantee prior to vesting as contemplated in Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement, and then only to the extent permitted under the Partnership Agreement.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, any LTIP Units (and the proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital Account balance attributable to such LTIP Units) subject to this Award that have not been earned and become vested on or before the date that the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates shall be forfeited as of the date that such employment terminates.
4. | Terms of LTIP Units. |
(a) Subject to Section 5, the exact number of Earned LTIP Units that Grantee shall be entitled to receive under this Agreement shall be determined following the conclusion of the Performance Period based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return and Relative Performance during the Performance Period as provided herein. The Grantee shall not be entitled to receive any LTIP Units hereunder except to the extent they are earned upon the end of the Performance Period in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Earned LTIP Units shall be issued as soon as reasonably practical following the end of the Performance Period. In addition to the performance vesting requirements specified herein, Earned LTIP Units shall be subject to service vesting as provided in Section 4(e). Award LTIP Units that are not earned in accordance with this Agreement shall be forfeited and cancelled and unvested Earned LTIP Units will be subject to forfeiture prior to vesting as set forth in this Section 4 and in Section 5.
(b) The number of LTIP Units earned under the Absolute TSR Component of the Award will be determined pursuant to Section 4(d) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Valuation Date by multiplying the number of Award LTIP Units by 75% and then multiplying such product by the applicable Percentage of Absolute TSR Component Earned based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return as shown below:
Total Shareholder Return |
| Percentage of Absolute |
|
|
|
Less than 21% |
| 0% |
|
|
|
21% |
| 50% |
|
|
|
27% |
| 100% |
|
|
|
33% or greater |
| 200% |
The Absolute TSR Component of the Award will be forfeited in its entirety if the Total Shareholder Return is less than 21%. If the Total Shareholder Return is between 21% and 27%, or between 27% and 33%, the percentage of the Absolute TSR Component earned will be determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
(c) The number of Award LTIP Units earned under the Relative TSR Component of the Award will be determined pursuant to Section 4(d) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Valuation Date by multiplying the number of Award LTIP Units by 25% and then multiplying such product by the applicable Percentage of Relative TSR Component Earned based on the Company’s Relative Performance as shown below:
4
Relative Performance |
| Percentage of Relative |
|
|
|
TSR below the 35th percentile of Peer Companies |
| 0% |
|
|
|
TSR equal to the 35th percentile of Peer Companies |
| 50% |
|
|
|
TSR equal to the 55th percentile of Peer Companies |
| 100% |
|
|
|
TSR equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of |
| 200% |
The Relative TSR Component of the Award will be forfeited in its entirety if the Relative Performance is below the 35th percentile of Peer Companies. If the Relative Performance is between the 35th percentile and 55th percentile of Peer Companies, or between the 55th percentile and 75th percentile of Peer Companies, the percentage of the Relative TSR Component earned will be determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
(d) As soon as practicable following the Valuation Date, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (or such other Committee(s) as may be appointed or designated by the Board to administer the Plan) (the “Committee”) shall determine the number of LTIP Units earned by the Grantee under both the Absolute TSR Component and the Relative TSR Component. Upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 4(d): (A) the Company shall cause GMR OP to issue to the Grantee, as of the Valuation Date, a number of LTIP Units equal to the number of Earned LTIP Units. Any Award LTIP Units that are not earned in accordance with this Section 4 hereto shall not be deemed granted and shall not be issued, and the Grantee shall have no right in or to any such unearned and unissued LTIP Units after it is determined that they were not earned.
(e) LTIP Units that have been earned based on performance as provided in Section 4(c), shall, subject to Section 5 hereof, be subject to forfeiture restrictions that will lapse in the following amounts and on the following vesting dates subject to the Continuous Service of the Grantee through and on the applicable vesting date:
(i) 50% of the Earned LTIP Units shall become vested, and shall cease to be subject to forfeiture, as of the Valuation Date; and
(ii) 50% of the Earned LTIP Units shall become vested, and shall cease to be subject to forfeiture, on the first anniversary of the Valuation Date.
(f) Any Earned LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 5 hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Company or its Affiliates, automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Earned LTIP Units.
5. | Termination of Employment. |
(a)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates ends on account of the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Company or its Affiliates: (i) without Cause [(as defined in that certain Employment Agreement by and between Inter-American Management LLC (“IAM”) and [ ], dated as of [ ] (the “Employment Agreement”)][(as defined in the Inter-American Management LLC Severance
5
Plan and Summary Plan Description, dated July 9, 2020 (the “Severance Plan”)] (ii) by the Grantee for Good Reason ([as defined in the Employment Agreement][as defined herein]); provided that the Grantee executes the Release ([as defined in Section 7(f)(i) of the Employment Agreement][as defined in Section 5 of the Severance Plan]) on or before the Release Expiration Date ([as defined in Section 7(f)(v) of the Employment Agreement][as defined in Section 5 of the Severance Plan]), and does not revoke such Release within any time provided in such Release to do so, (iii) due to the Grantee’s death or Disability (as defined in [the Employment Agreement][the Severance Plan] or (iv) a result of the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined herein) (each, a “Qualified Termination”), the Grantee will not forfeit the Award LTIP Units upon such termination, and instead the following provisions of this Section 5 shall be applied to determine the number of Earned LTIP Units the Grantee shall be entitled receive:
i.the calculations provided in Section 4(d) hereof shall be performed as of the Valuation Date as if the Qualified Termination had not occurred;
ii. the number of Earned LTIP Units calculated pursuant to Section 4(d) shall be multiplied by the Partial Service Factor (with the resulting number being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Earned LTIP Units for all purposes under this Agreement; and
iii.the Grantee’s Earned LTIP Units as adjusted pursuant to Section 5(b)ii above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, except in the case of death or Disability, the Grantee will not have the right to transfer his or her Earned LTIP Units or request redemption of his or her Common Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Earned LTIP Units, as adjusted pursuant to Section 5(b)ii above, would have become vested pursuant to Section 4(e) absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 5(b)iii is to prevent a situation where the Grantee who has had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of his or her LTIP Units or Common Units (through transfer or redemption) before other grantees whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 4(e) hereof.
(b)In the event of a Qualified Termination after the Valuation Date, all Earned LTIP Units that are subject to forfeiture restrictions pursuant to Section 4(e) shall no longer be subject to forfeiture; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, except in the case of death or Disability, the Grantee will not have the right to transfer his or her Earned LTIP Units or request redemption of his or her Common Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Earned LTIP Units would have become vested pursuant to Section 4(e) absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(b) is to prevent a situation where a Grantee who has had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of his or her Earned LTIP Units or Common Units (through transfer or redemption) before other grantees of Earned LTIP Units whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 4(e) hereof.
(c)In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s employment other than a Qualified Termination, all unearned Award LTIP Units and all Earned LTIP Units except for those that have become vested pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Company or its Affiliates, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such LTIP Units.
6
6. | Change in Control. |
(a)If a Change in Control ([as defined in the Employment Agreement][as defined in the Severance Plan]) occurs before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the provisions of Section 4 shall apply to determine the number of Earned LTIP Units except that (i) the number of Award LTIP Units that are earned under the Absolute TSR Component or the Relative TSR Component, as applicable, shall be based on a shortened Performance Period (with such shortened Performance Period ending on the date of the Change in Control), and (ii) the resulting number of Earned LTIP Units shall be prorated to reflect the portion of the original Performance Period that had elapsed as of the date of such Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the number of Earned LTIP Units shall be determined as provided in Section 4.
(b) The number of Earned LTIP Units determined under Section 4, as modified by Section 6(a) for a Change in Control that occurs before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, shall remain subject to vesting tied to Continuous Service as provided in Section 4(e), except that the Grantee shall become fully vested in the Earned LTIP Units if he or she is terminated in a Qualified Termination.
(c)If the Change in Control occurs after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and the Grantee is terminated in a Qualified Termination, the Grantee shall become fully vested in any unvested Earned LTIP Units.
(d)Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 6 and the [Employment Agreement][Severance Plan], the terms of the [Employment Agreement][Severance Plan] shall control.
7.Merger-Related Action. In contemplation of and subject to the consummation of a consolidation or merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in which outstanding Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash, or other property of an unrelated corporation or business entity or in the event of a liquidation of the Company (in each case, a “Transaction”), the Board, or the board of trustees or directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company (the “Acquiror”), may, in its discretion, take any one or more of the following actions, as to the outstanding Earned LTIP Units: (i) provide that such Earned LTIP Units shall be assumed or equivalent awards shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding entity (or an affiliate thereof), and/or (ii) upon prior written notice to the LTIP Unitholders (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of not less than 30 days, provide that such Earned LTIP Units shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The right to take such actions (each, a “Merger-Related Action”) shall be subject to the following limitations and qualifications:
(a)if all Earned LTIP Units awarded to the Grantee hereunder are eligible, as of the time of the Merger-Related Action, for conversion into Common Units (as defined in and in accordance with the Partnership Agreement) and the Grantee is afforded the opportunity to effect such conversion and receive, in consideration for the Common Units into which his Earned LTIP Units shall have been converted, the same kind and amount of consideration as other holders of Common Units in connection with the Transaction, then Merger-Related Action of the kind specified in (i) or (ii) above shall be permitted and available to the Company and the Acquiror;
(b)if some or all of the Earned LTIP Units awarded to the Grantee hereunder are not, as of the time of the Merger-Related Action, so eligible for conversion into Common Units (in accordance with the Partnership Agreement), and the acquiring or succeeding entity is itself, or has a subsidiary which is organized as a partnership or limited liability company (consisting of a so-called “UPREIT” or other structure substantially similar in purpose or effect to that of the Company and GMR OP), then Merger-Related Action of the kind specified in clause (i) of this Section 7 above must be taken by the Acquiror with respect to all Earned LTIP Units subject to this Award which are not so convertible at the time, whereby all such Earned LTIP
7
Units covered by this Award shall be assumed by the acquiring or succeeding entity, or equivalent awards shall be substituted by the acquiring or succeeding entity, and the acquiring or succeeding entity shall preserve with respect to the assumed Earned LTIP Units or any securities to be substituted for such Earned LTIP Units, as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances, the distribution, special allocation, conversion and other rights set forth in the Partnership Agreement for the benefit of the LTIP Unitholders; and
(c)if some or all of the Earned LTIP Units awarded to the Grantee hereunder are not, as of the time of the Merger-Related Action, so eligible for conversion into Common Units (in accordance with the Partnership Agreement), and after exercise of reasonable commercial efforts the Company or the Acquiror is unable to treat the Earned LTIP Units in accordance with Section 7(b), then Merger-Related Action of the kind specified in clause (ii) of this Section 7 above must be taken by the Company or the Acquiror, in which case such action shall be subject to a provision that the settlement of the terminated award of Earned LTIP Units which are not convertible into Common
8
Units requires a payment of the same kind and amount of consideration payable in connection with the Transaction to a holder of the number of Common Units into which the Earned LTIP Units to be terminated could be converted or, if greater, the consideration payable to holders of the number of shares of common stock into which such Common Units could be exchanged (including the right to make elections as to the type of consideration) if the Transaction were of a nature that permitted a revaluation of the Grantee’s capital account balance under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as determined by the Committee in good faith in accordance with the Plan.
8. Distributions. Distributions shall accrue during the Performance Period on the maximum number LTIP Units that the Grantee could earn under this Agreement and shall be paid with respect to all of the Earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the Performance Period following calculation of the number of Earned LTIP Units in accordance with Section 4 and upon the issuance thereof to the Grantee, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Committee. The right to distributions set forth in this Section 8 shall be deemed a Dividend Equivalent Right for purposes of the Plan. The Grantee shall cease to have any Dividend Equivalent Right with respect to LTIP Units that are not earned or that cease to be eligible for vesting and are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.
9. Incorporation of Plan and Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Partnership Agreement.
10.Covenants. The Grantee hereby covenants as follows:
(a)So long as the Grantee holds any LTIP Units, the Grantee shall disclose to GMR OP in writing such information as may be reasonably requested with respect to ownership of LTIP Units as GMR OP may deem reasonably necessary to ascertain and to establish compliance with provisions of the Code applicable to GMR OP or to comply with requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
(b)The Grantee hereby agrees to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the maximum number of LTIP Units that the Grantee may earn hereunder, and the Company hereby consents thereto. The Grantee has delivered with this Agreement a completed, executed copy of the election form attached hereto as ANNEX A. The Grantee agrees to file the election (or to permit GMR OP to file such election on the Grantee’s behalf) within thirty (30) days after the Final Acceptance Date with the IRS Service Center at which such Grantee files his personal income tax returns, and to file a copy of such election with the Grantee’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the LTIP Units are awarded to the Grantee.
(c)The Grantee hereby agrees that it does not have the intention to dispose of the LTIP Units subject to this Award within two years of receipt of such LTIP Units. GMR OP and the Grantee hereby agree to treat the Grantee as the owner of the LTIP Units, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from the Final Acceptance Date. The Grantee hereby agrees to take into account the distributive share of GMR OP income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit associated with the LTIP Units in computing the Grantee’s income tax liability for the entire period during which the Grantee has the LTIP Units.
(d) The Grantee hereby recognizes that the IRS has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the LTIP Units for federal tax purposes. In
9
the event that those proposed regulations are finalized, the Grantee hereby agrees to cooperate with GMR OP in amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required, to conform to such regulations.
(e)The Grantee hereby recognizes that changes in applicable law may affect the federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of LTIP Units.

12.Amendment. The Grantee acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or canceled or terminated in accordance with Article XVIII thereof and that this Agreement may be amended or cancelled by the Committee, on behalf of GMR OP, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. The provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement applicable to the termination of the LTIP Units covered by this Award in connection with a Change in Control shall apply, mutatis mutandi to amendments, discontinuance or cancellation pursuant to this Section 12 or the Plan.
00.Xx Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any one of its Affiliates is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time.
14.Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to GMR OP at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with GMR OP or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
