Exhibit 10.4
PROLOGIS, INC.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 OUTPERFORMANCE PLAN
Name of the Grantee: [ ] (the “Grantee”)
Performance Period: January 1, 202 through December 31, 202
Performance Pool Percentage: [ ] (“Performance Pool Percentage”)
No. of LTIP Units Issued: [ ]
Grant Effective Date: [ ]
RECITALS
A. The Grantee is an employee of Prologis, Inc. (the “Company”) or a “Related Company” as defined in the Prologis, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) and provides services to Prologis, L.P., through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”).
B. Pursuant to the Plan, the Prologis, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2018 Outperformance Plan (as amended, restated and supplemented from time to time and as applicable to the Performance Period set forth above, the “POP”), and the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Partnership Agreement”), the Company, as general partner of the Partnership, hereby grants to the Grantee a Full Value Award (as defined in the Plan, referred to herein as an “Award”) in the form of, and by causing the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, the number of LTIP Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) set forth above (the “Award LTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth in this LTIP Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) and in the Partnership Agreement, in lieu of settling the Performance Pool Percentage set forth above in cash or shares of common stock of the Company, at the election of the Company, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period set forth above.
C. The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (or a subcommittee thereof) estimated, in accordance with Section 2.7 of the POP, that the Performance Pool Percentage set forth above, as previously awarded for the Performance Period set forth above, could, as of the end of the Performance Period, represent a value that would, based on reasonable assumptions used by the Committee in arriving at its estimate or its methodology to determine the estimate, be converted into a number of LTIP Units up to the Award LTIP Units. After the date hereof the Committee may determine that the Grantee is entitled to additional Performance Pool Percentage points with respect to the Performance Period set forth above, in which case the number of additional Performance Pool Percentage points
awarded, the number of additional LTIP Units issued and the Grant Effective Date thereof shall be set forth in an addendum hereto (an “Award Addendum”) which thereafter shall be deemed part of this award agreement for all purposes as if it were an amendment hereto. The Award LTIP Units were calculated pursuant to an approximation, based on reasonable assumptions, of the final Performance Pool (as defined in the POP) and of the percentage of such Performance Pool that would be attributable to the Grantee at the conclusion of the Performance Period pursuant to the POP based on the aggregate Performance Pool Percentage points awarded to Grantee relative to all Performance Pool Percentage points then outstanding for all POP participants. The exact number of LTIP Units earned shall be determined at the conclusion of the applicable performance period in accordance with the POP.
D. Generally, under the POP, in the event that the Company’s annualized total return to shareholders during the Performance Period exceeds the annualized total shareholder return of the MSCI US REIT Index (RMS) by more than 100 basis points during the Performance Period, then a Performance Pool will be formed under the POP equal to three percent (3%) of the Company’s excess return to shareholders, provided that in no event shall the Performance Pool exceed an amount equal to the Dollar-Based Cap (as defined in the POP). The Grantee’s earned Award, generally, will equal (A) the Grantee’s aggregate Performance Pool Percentage, multiplied by (B) the Performance Pool. The Total Value (as defined in the POP) of the Grantee’s Award shall be bifurcated, as set forth below, into the Immediate Vesting Amount (as defined in the POP) and the Deferred Vesting Amount (as defined in the POP). The Immediate Vesting Amount and Deferred Vesting Amount shall also be subject to achievement of Positive TSR (as defined in the POP). Special provisions will apply, and the Award may be forfeited in the event that Grantee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period or, with respect to the Deferred Vesting Amount, prior to the Tenth Anniversary (as defined in the POP). The Award will be governed by the terms of the POP.
E. Upon the close of business on the Grant Effective Date pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantee shall receive an award of that number of LTIP Units specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, in the POP, in the Plan, and in the Partnership Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the POP.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:
1. Effectiveness of Award. As of the Grant Effective Date, the Grantee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the Award LTIP Units by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement, (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A), and (iii) making a Capital Contribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to the Partnership, in cash, in the amount of [$] per Award LTIP Unit to the Partnership (the “Per Unit Contribution”). Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and execution of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership and the Company, the books and records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner shall reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the Award LTIP Units. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to a number of LTIP Units equal to the number of Award LTIP Units, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in
2
Section 2 below and elsewhere herein. The LTIP Units are uncertificated securities of the Partnership and upon the Grantee’s request the General Partner shall confirm the number of LTIP Units issued to the Grantee.
2. Vesting of Award LTIP Units.
(i) This Award is subject to performance vesting and a continuous service requirement during the Performance Period and, with respect to Deferred Vesting Amount, through the Tenth Anniversary. The Award LTIP Units will be subject to forfeiture (a) based on the Company’s performance to the extent provided in Section 2(ii) by reference to the provisions of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the POP, and (b) in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment, death or disability to the extent provided in Section 2(iii) by reference to the provisions of Section 2.5 of the POP. At any time prior to or in connection with the determination and allocation of the Performance Pool pursuant to the POP, the Partnership may issue additional LTIP Units to the Grantee as provided in Section 3 hereof that shall also be considered Award LTIP Units and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the POP; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee confirming the truth and accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 12 hereof and executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws, and the Grantee making a Capital Contribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) in cash on or before the issuance date in such amount as the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership, shall determine for each such additional LTIP Unit issued.
(ii) The performance vesting provisions of Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the POP shall be applied to this Award as follows:
(a) Determination of Performance Pool. As soon as practical following the Valuation Date of a Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the size of the Performance Pool in accordance with the steps provided in Section 2.2 of the POP. If the Performance Pool is not a positive number, all Award LTIP Units shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, 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 Award LTIP Units.
(b) Allocation of Performance Pool. If the Performance Pool is a positive number, the Committee shall certify in writing the size of the Performance Pool and shall then determine the dollar value of the Award (or all Awards in case of multiple Awards to the Grantee for the same Performance Period) with respect to the Performance Period for which the Performance Pool has been generated by multiplying the Performance Pool by the aggregate Performance Pool Percentage held by the Grantee with respect to the Performance Period (after giving effect to all Awards to the Grantee with respect to the Performance Period and any forfeitures of Awards by the Grantee with respect to the Performance Period).
3
(c) Vesting of Award LTIP Units. After applying Section 2(iii) hereof in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment, death or disability prior to the Valuation Date, the dollar value of the Award as determined pursuant to Section 2(ii)(a) and (b) above for the Grantee shall be divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (as defined in the POP) as of the date the Committee makes its final determination of the Immediate Vesting Amount and Deferred Vesting Amount pursuant to Section 2.3 of the POP (in either case, appropriately adjusted to the extent that the “REIT Shares Amount” or the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” with respect to “Common Units” (all as defined in the Partnership Agreement) have been adjusted since the Grant Effective Date); the resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent,” provided that the determination of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is subject to the contingency and deferral provisions of Section 2(ii)(d) below, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award shall not be converted into the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent unless and until the Company has Positive TSR as set forth in Section 2(ii)(d)(III) below.
(d) Positive TSR Return Modifier.
(I) Notwithstanding Section 2(ii)(c) above, if Positive TSR has not been achieved upon completion of the applicable Performance Period, then the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent (for the Immediate Vesting Amount and Deferred Vesting Amount) shall not be determined unless Positive TSR is achieved within seven (7) years following the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Company’s Absolute Shareholder Return shall be measured at the end of each quarter, beginning with the first quarter following the end of the Performance Period, and it shall be measured from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of such quarter.
(II) The Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Related Company need not continue past the Valuation Date with respect to the Performance Period for determination of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent in respect of the Immediate Vesting Amount to be made pursuant to this Section 2(ii)(d); provided that the Grantee must satisfy the employment requirement in connection with the Deferred Vesting Amount.
(III) If Positive TSR has not been achieved upon completion of the Performance Period but is achieved within the seven (7) year period following the end of the Performance Period, then as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of the quarter during which Positive TSR is achieved, the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent shall be determined in the same manner as provided in Section 2(ii)(c) above, except that the dollar value of the Award as originally determined pursuant to Section 2(ii)(b) shall be divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the last day of the quarter during which Positive TSR is achieved with respect to the Immediate Vesting Amount and Deferred Vesting Amount, rather than as of the earlier date
4
provided in Section 2(ii)(c). If Positive TSR is achieved prior to the Tenth Anniversary then the Deferred Vesting Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.4(b) of the POP, without further regard to the Company’s Absolute Shareholder Return being a positive or negative number as of the date such payment is due. The term “Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent” refers to the number of Award LTIP Units calculated pursuant to Section 2(ii)(c) or this Section 2(ii)(d)(III), as the case may be.
(IV) If Positive TSR is not achieved within the seven (7) year period following the end of the Performance Period, then notwithstanding Section 2(ii)(b), the Award and all Award LTIP Units held by the Grantee with respect to the Performance Period shall, without payment of any consideration by the Company, 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 the Award or such Award LTIP Units.
(e) Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent Compared to Award LTIP Units. If the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent (including the Immediate Vesting Amount and the Deferred Vesting Amount) is smaller than the aggregate number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then the Grantee shall forfeit a number of Award LTIP Units equal to the difference without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer only to the Award LTIP Units that were not so forfeited 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 the LTIP Units that were so forfeited. For purposes of the foregoing forfeitures, the Committee shall have the power in the Committee’s reasonable discretion and from time to time to estimate the number of Award LTIP Units that can be earned by the Grantee in accordance with this Section 2. If the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is greater than the aggregate number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee (as adjusted for forfeitures pursuant to this Section 2(ii)(e), if applicable), then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in Section 2(ii) above: (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award LTIP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award; (C) the Company and the Partnership shall take such corporate and partnership action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units; and (D) thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer collectively to the Award LTIP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee confirming the truth and accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 12 hereof and executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws, and the Grantee making a Capital Contribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), if any, in cash on or before the issuance date in such amount as the Company, in its capacity as
5
general partner of the Partnership, shall determine for each such additional LTIP Unit issued. If the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is the same as the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of Award LTIP Units.
(iii) The continuous service requirements of Section 2.5 of the POP shall be applied to this Award as follows:
(a) If the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Related Company terminates, the provisions of this Section 2(iii) and the POP, or the Plan if applicable, shall govern the treatment of this Award (and in particular the timing and method of calculations pursuant to Section 2(ii), 2(iii) and 2(iv) and related vesting or forfeiture), unless the provisions of any employment or other agreement to which the Grantee is then a party or termination or severance policies of the Company applicable to the Grantee then in effect specifically provide that they supersede this Award.
(b) In the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment (I) by the Grantee upon Retirement (as defined in the POP) or (II) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability (as defined in the POP) (each a “Qualified Termination,” it being understood that in the event of the Grantee’s Good Works, Good Works Interruption shall be deemed a “Qualified Termination” under the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) in the definition of Good Works) after the Initial Date, but prior to the Valuation Date of the Performance Period, then the Grantee will retain the Performance Pool Percentage previously granted to him or her with respect to the Performance Period, but all calculations and payments, if any, with respect to this Award shall be made at the same time and on the same conditions set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the POP for all other Participants. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.5 of the POP shall apply with respect to the Deferred Vesting Amount in the event of a Qualified Termination after the Valuation Date and prior to the Tenth Anniversary.
(c) In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s employment for any reason other than a Qualified Termination prior to a Valuation Date for the Performance Period or, in the case of the Deferred Vesting Amount, the Tenth Anniversary, this Award shall, without payment of any consideration by the Company, 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 this Award, or any related Performance Pool Percentage or Award LTIP Units.
(iv) In the event of a Change of Control, the change of control provisions set forth in Section 2.6 of the POP shall be applied to this Award. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in Section 2.6 of the POP shall be deemed to create any duty or obligation for the Partnership or the General Partner to make available to the Grantee a structure that preserves for the Grantee following the consummation of the Change of Control the amount, type or timing of income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the Grantee for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the Grantee’s LTIP Units had been converted into Common Units, or to make
6
available the opportunity to exchange the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent for substitute securities with terms materially the same, with respect to rights, allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting, as the LTIP Units before such Change of Control.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Retirement vesting provisions shall not apply if and to the extent provided in a separate written agreement between the Company (or an affiliate of the Company) and the Grantee.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Award is subject to the Recoupment Policy set forth in the Prologis Governance Guidelines as in effect from time to time, any other clawback or recoupment policies that are adopted by the Company, and the provisions of the Plan relating to recoupment, misconduct and good standing.
3. Distributions. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement as follows:
(i) The Award LTIP Units are hereby designated as “Special LTIP Units.”
(ii) The LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date with respect to the Award LTIP Units is the Grant Effective Date set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Award Addendum.
(iii) The Special LTIP Unit Full Participation Date with respect to the Award LTIP Units is the date on which the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is determined pursuant to the applicable clause of Section 2 hereof.
(iv) The Special LTIP Unit Sharing Percentage with respect to the Award LTIP Units is ten percent (10%).
(v) All distributions paid with respect to the Award LTIP Units shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid, whether or not the Award LTIP Units have been earned based on performance or have become vested based on continued employment as provided in Section 2 hereof.
4. Rights with Respect to Award LTIP Units. Without duplicating the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Plan, the POP, or Section 1.14 of Exhibit K to the Partnership Agreement, if (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than ordinary cash dividends, shall occur, or (iii) any other event shall occur which, in each case in the judgment of the Committee, necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of this Award, then and in that event, the Committee may take such action, if any, as it determines to be reasonably required to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement prior to such event, including, but not limited to, substitution of other awards under the Plan.
7
5. Incorporation of POP and the Plan; Interpretation by Committee. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms, conditions, limitations and definitions contained in the POP and the Plan. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement, the POP and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the POP shall control. The Committee may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of this Agreement as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may interpret the POP, the Plan and this Agreement, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to interpretation of the POP, the Plan or this Agreement or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation arising from or related to the POP, the Plan or this Agreement, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons.
6. Restrictions on Transfer.
(i) Subject to Section 2(iv) above, except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the common units of the Partnership into which such Award LTIP Units may be converted (the “Award Common Units”) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”) and the right to Redemption (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may not be exercised with respect to the Award Common Units until after the Third Anniversary or, for any portion of the Deferred Vesting Amount, the Tenth Anniversary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Award LTIP Units may be Transferred prior to such date in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan, so long as the transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent Transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 6.
(ii) The right to Redemption may be exercised with respect to Award Common Units, and Award Common Units may be Transferred to the Partnership or the Company in connection with the exercise thereof, in accordance with and to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to Redemption shall not be exercisable with respect to any Award Common Units until after the Third Anniversary or, for any portion of the Deferred Vesting Amount, the Tenth Anniversary; provided however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (i) if the right of Redemption is exercised in connection with a Change of Control or (ii) in connection with an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion in connection with a Capital Transaction as described in the Partnership Agreement.
(iii) Additionally, all Transfers of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).
8
(iv) Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units.
(v) This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7. Legend. The books and records of the Partnership or other documentation evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend or notation, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the POP, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.
8. Tax Matters; Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the unvested Award LTIP Units issued hereunder or under an Award Addendum, as the case may be, pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 83(b) of the Code (as defined in the Plan) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Grantee shall provide a copy of the Section 83(b) election to the Company.
9. Withholding and Taxes.
(i) The Grantee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Partnership or, if different, the Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Award and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.
(ii) The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award or the subsequent disposition of any LTIP Units acquired pursuant to this Award; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(iii) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. If such arrangements are
9
not made by the Grantee by the date specified by the Company and communicated to the Grantee (and in no event less than 30 days prior to the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder), the Grantee authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by deducting such amounts from any cash payments to be made to the Grantee hereunder or withholding in LTIP Units to be issued hereunder (or, if applicable, any Common Units into which the LTIP Units are converted or shares of Stock issued in redemption of such Common Units).
(iv) The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering the amount that is required by law to be withheld or such other amount determined by the Company or an affiliate that is not prohibited by law but in no event more than the maximum U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes, as applicable (including social insurance tax or contributions obligations, if any). In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or its designated affiliate. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in LTIP Units (or other securities pursuant to paragraph (iii)), for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of vested Award LTIP Units (or other applicable securities), notwithstanding that a number of the LTIP Units (or other applicable securities) are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(v) Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the LTIP Units issuable upon vesting of the Award LTIP Units, or the proceeds of the disposition thereof, if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
10. Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Grantee acknowledges that the Plan and the POP may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 7 of the Plan and Section 3.1 of the POP, and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The failure of the Grantee or the Company or the Partnership to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Grantee or the Company or the Partnership, respectively, may have under this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
10
11. Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with all Award Addenda, if any, and those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.
12. Investment Representation; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto as of the Grant Effective Date and as of the date or dates of determination of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Grantee shall immediately notify the Partnership upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties set forth on Exhibit C was false when made or have, as a result of changes in circumstances, become false. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any of the Award LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of the Award LTIP Units into other limited partnership interests of the Partnership or shares of capital stock of the Company.
13. No Obligation to Continue Employment or Other Service Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Related Company is obligated by or as a result of the Plan, the POP or this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee provide services to it or to continue the Grantee in employment and neither the Plan, the POP nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate its service relationship with the Grantee or the employment of the Grantee at any time.
14. No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, and any such plans, agreements and arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases or to specific persons.
15. Status of Award LTIP Units under the Plan. The Award LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as a “Full Value Award” under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue shares of Stock (as defined in the Plan) in exchange for partnership units into which Award LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Stock, if issued, will be issued under the Plan. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such election by the Company.
16. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant of Award LTIP Units hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).
11
17. Section 409A. If any compensation provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with the Grantee, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to, where applicable, (i) exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and to make such modifications, in each case, without any diminution in the value of the benefits granted hereby to the Grantee.
18. Law Governing. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW WHICH COULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
19. Headings. Section, paragraph and other headings and captions are provided solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings and captions shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction, meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof.
