If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or by the Executive without Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Plan), then all unvested and unreleased shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason not following a Change in Control while any Restricted Stock remains unvested and has not be previously forfeited, then the Executive shall immediately vest in (i) 66.66% of the then unvested portion of the Personal Performance Award, (ii) 50% of the portion of the Relative NAREIT TSR Award which had not yet become vested pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, but which had been scheduled to vest pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement with respect to any year ending after the date of such termination, and (iii) 50% of the portion of the Relative Lodging TSR Award which had not yet become vested pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, but which had been scheduled to vest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement with respect to any year

The Executive understands that upon removal of restrictions on any of the shares represented by the Restricted Stock granted hereunder, a taxable event will occur and Executive will be responsible for payment of taxes due. The Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or any other benefits under this Agreement on the satisfaction of applicable withholding requirements. The Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Executive, through the surrender of shares of common stock of the Company that the Executive already owns, or through the surrender of shares of Restricted Stock to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement provided, however, that if the withholding obligation arises during a period in which the Executive is prohibited in trading in the Company’s equity securities by reason of the Federal securities laws, or any Company policy regarding xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, then the Company shall automatically withhold the number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld from the Restricted Stock to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement.
