Exhibit A - Succession Plan

Succession

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Manager, will develop temporary and permanent succession plans for senior management of the Manager, including Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. These succession plans will be updated and reviewed periodically with the Compensation Committee, which will report to the Board of Directors.

Temporary Succession Plan

The temporary succession plan:

•

will provide a plan for filling the position of the CEO and other member of the senior management on a temporary basis if such person is incapacitated, quits, is terminated, or is otherwise unable to fulfill his duties (“Unavailable”);

•

will name one or more current members of senior management of the Manager as potential interim CEO(s) in the event Xx. Xxxxxxxxx or his successor is Unavailable; and

•

will also address potential replacements, contingent hires and/or other temporary arrangements for other members of the senior management of the Manager in the event such person is Unavailable.

The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Manager, will assess and provide feedback to the Manager regarding the Manager’s senior management team, with the objective of evaluating the Manager’s internal capabilities to handle an executive transition, including the ability of certain executives to assume other senior executive roles on an interim or permanent basis, should it become necessary.

The Board of Directors will meet promptly following the triggering of the temporary succession plan to begin discussions regarding a permanent replacement for the CEO or other members of senior management.

Permanent Succession

If the CEO or another member of senior management of the Manager is Unavailable, that Unavailability is expected to be permanent, and the temporary succession plan does not provide a replacement for that member of senior management that is approved as a long-term replacement for that position by a majority of the independent directors of the Board of Directors, the Manager, in consultation with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, will immediately retain an executive recruiting firm to begin a search process for a permanent replacement for the position in question. The search for a permanent successor may include current members of senior management of the Manager, whether or not named in the proposed in the temporary succession plan. The appointment of any permanent successor to the CEO shall be subject to the consent of a majority of the independent directors of the Board of Directors.
