For the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 you are eligible for a target bonus amount of 75% of your then-current annual base salary payable in either cash or units in the discretion of the Board.

LTIP grants vest over a four-year period; 25% of which vest on the first anniversary date of grant agreement and the remaining 75% vest in 25% increments on each succeeding anniversary date. Your LTIP opportunities for subsequent years will be subject to the administrative guidelines that the Board approves for the LTIP. Your LTIP grant will be governed by the terms of the LTIP, including vesting being conditioned on your active employment at the scheduled dates of vesting.
