Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 23, 2015, the Company held its 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The proposals considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the SEC on April 10, 2015 (the “Proxy”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved each of the proposals described in the Proxy before the Annual Meeting was adjourned. As of April 8, 2015, the record date, 178,391,749 shares of common stock were eligible to vote, of which 104,205,171 shares, or approximately 58.4%, were present to vote by proxy or in person.

First Proposal. The Company’s stockholders elected five directors of the Company (the “Directors”), who will serve until the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The Directors were elected pursuant to the voting results set forth below:


Name	For		Withheld
Richard D. Kincaid		55,826,592		2,507,657
John A. Blumberg		55,789,202		2,545,047
Charles B. Duke		55,715,376		2,618,873
Daniel J. Sullivan		55,746,604		2,587,645
John P. Woodberry		55,814,993		2,519,256

Second Proposal. The Company’s stockholders ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015, as set forth below:


For	Against	Abstain
100,250,163	1,258,584	2,696,424

Third Proposal. The Company’s stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, as set forth below:


For	Against	Abstain
50,550,162	3,513,062	4,271,025

Fourth Proposal. The Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Secondary Equity Incentive Plan, as set forth below:


For	Against	Abstain
50,409,801	3,635,283	4,289,165

With respect to (i) each of the five director nominees, (ii) the third proposal, and (iii) the fourth proposal, the Company received 45,870,922 broker non-votes. Broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares of the Company’s common stock for a beneficial owner is present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote is not an indication of how the beneficial owner would have voted; it simply means that the beneficial owner did not instruct the broker as to how to vote his or her shares.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

2.1 Shares Subject to Plan. The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of Awards under the Plan shall not exceed five million (5,000,000), subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Shares issuable under the Plan shall be previously authorized but unissued shares.

2.2 Individual Limitations. No more than five million (5,000,000) Shares may be made subject to Incentive Stock Options. No more than two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares may be made subject to Options or SARs to a single individual in a single calendar year, subject to adjustment as provided herein, and no more than two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares may be made subject to stock-based awards other than Options or SARs (including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards) to a single individual in a single calendar year, in either case, subject to adjustment as provided herein. No more than $1,000,000 may be payable for Cash-Based Awards to a single individual in a single calendar year. Determinations made in respect of the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.

2.3 Expired Awards and Other Rights. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or cancelled, or if an Award is settled in cash, terminates unearned or expires, in each case, without a distribution of shares to the Participant, the Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, cash settlement, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. By contrast, if Shares are surrendered or withheld as payment of the exercise price of an Award or withholding taxes in respect of an Award, the Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such surrender or withholding, no longer be available for Awards under the Plan. Similarly, Shares subject to any portion of a stock-settled SAR that is exercised shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan, regardless of whether the Shares are issued. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Award, such related Award shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of Shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

2.4 Adjustments to Shares, Awards. In the event that the Administrator shall determine that any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the Administrator shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i) the number and kind of Shares or other property (including cash) that may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards (including the maximum amounts that may be subject to or payable for Awards granted to a single individual in a single calendar year), (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other property (including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, that, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code; and (iv) the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding Awards. Any fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment under this Section 2.4 shall be eliminated.

ARTICLE III

3.1 Eligibility. Any Eligible Individual selected by the Administrator pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) shall be eligible to receive an Award.

3.2 Granting of Awards.

4.4 Option Vesting.

(a) The period during which the right to exercise an Option in whole or in part vests in the Participant shall be set by the Administrator and the Administrator may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted; provided, however, that, unless the Administrator otherwise provides in the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, no Option shall be exercisable by any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act within the period ending six months and one day after the date the Option is granted.

ARTICLE V

DIRECTOR OPTIONS

5.1 Eligibility. Under the Initial Plan, until it was suspended effective as of June 17, 2011, the Company’s “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 or any similar rule which may subsequently be in effect (“Non-Employee Directors”) were eligible to receive, and did receive, Director Options with specified terms as described in this Article V. This Article V continues to apply to such Options granted, but no additional Options shall be granted pursuant to this Article V under this Plan. This Article V does not limit the ability of the directors to receive any other Awards permitted under this Plan.

5.2 Award of Stock Options.

(a) Effective on the later of (i) the date on which a Non-Employee Director became a member of the Board or (ii) the date the Initial Plan was adopted by the Company, or (iii) the date on which the Company closed on the sale of at least two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of its common stock pursuant to its initial Form S-11 Registration Statement (file no. 333-125338), then each Non-Employee Director who satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 of the Initial Plan automatically was awarded a Director Option to purchase ten thousand (10,000) Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4) (an “Initial Option”). Effective on the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (an “Annual Meeting”), commencing with the Company’s Annual Meeting in 2007, each Non-Employee Director then in office was automatically awarded, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Director Option to purchase five thousand (5,000) Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4) (a “Subsequent Option”). The Director Options are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Director Options to be issued pursuant to Article V of the Initial Plan shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent that the issuance of such Director Options would otherwise (i) enable the Independent Directors as a group to hold more than 10% of the outstanding Shares if such Director Options were exercised; (ii) result in the Company being “closely-held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; (iii) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the property of the Company (or of the property of one or more partnerships in which the Company is a partner), within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) result in a violation of any of the stock ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation; or (v) cause, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the Company to fail to qualify (or create, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, a risk that the Company would no longer qualify) as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code. To the extent that the issuance of Director Options pursuant to Section 5.2(a) would violate any of these limitations, the number of Director Options to be issued to each of the Non-Employee Directors shall be reduced pro rata (with those Director Options not granted pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) referred to as the “Excess Options”). To the extent that the number of Director Options issued to a Non-Employee Director is reduced in any year as a result of the application of these limitations, the Excess Options shall be issued to the Non-Employee Director in any subsequent year in which issuance of such Excess Options, after taking into account the Director Options to be issued to the Non-Employee Directors in such subsequent year under Section 5.2(a), would not violate the limitations imposed by this Section 5.2(b). To the extent that the issuance of an Excess Option is delayed until a subsequent year under this Section 5.2, the Excess Option shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan as having been issued in such subsequent year.

5.3 Stock Option Certificates. The award of a Director Option shall be evidenced by a certificate executed by an officer of the Company.

5.4 Option Price. The exercise price per Share of the Shares subject to each Initial Option granted shall be $11.00 per Share, and the exercise price per Share of the Shares subject to each Subsequent Option granted shall be set by the Administrator; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share under each Subsequent Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such Subsequent Option is granted.

5.5 Exercise and Term of Director Options.

(a) Director Options may be exercised by the delivery of written notice of exercise and full satisfaction of the exercise price for the Shares with respect to which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised; provided, that in the discretion of the Administrator and subject to the terms set forth in the applicable Stock Option Certificate, the exercise price for Shares subject to an Option may be paid (i) in cash or cash equivalents, (ii) by an exchange of Shares previously owned by the Participant, (iii) through a “broker cashless exercise” procedure approved by the Administrator (to the extent permitted by law), (iv) by having Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price withheld by the Company or (v) a combination of the above, in any case in an amount having a combined value equal to such exercise price.

(b) Director Options shall lapse on such date as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Director Option; provided, that such date shall not be later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Director Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and subject to such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Director Option, each Non-Employee Director’s Initial Option shall become exercisable as follows: (i) 20% of the Shares on the date of grant, (ii) an additional 20% of the Shares on each anniversary following the date of grant for a period of four years until 100% of the Shares become exercisable. In the event such Director Options have not lapsed prior thereto, a Non-Employee Director’s Subsequent Options shall become fully exercisable on the second anniversary of the date on which each such Subsequent Option was granted.

(c) Director Options shall continue to be exercisable until the such date as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Director Option; provided, that such date shall not be later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Director Option. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Director Options shall continue to be exercisable in the case of the Non-Employee Director’s death or disability for a period ending on the first anniversary of such death or disabling event, provided that the death or disabling event occurs while the person is a Non-Employee Director and prior to his or her removal for Cause, resignation or ceasing to be a Director of the Company for any other reason and the Director Option is otherwise exercisable on the date of the death or disabling event; provided, however, if the Option is exercised within the first six months after it becomes exercisable, any Shares issued pursuant to such exercise may not be sold until the six-month anniversary of the date the Option became exercisable. For purposes of this Article V, a Non-Employee Director is removed “for Cause” for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the execution of his duties; or for conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony or any act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, or a crime involving moral turpitude.

During the lifetime of the Participant, only he or she may exercise an Option or SAR (or any portion thereof) granted to him or her under the Plan. After the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option or SAR may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

12.3 No Right to Employment or Other Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer upon any Participant any right to (a) continue in the employ of his or her Employer or to provide services to the Company, or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company or his or her Employer, or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or his or her Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the services of any Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

12.4 Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall automatically expire and terminate on March 12, 2025. The expiration or other termination of the Plan shall have no adverse effect on any Awards that are outstanding on the date of such expiration or other termination.

12.5 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to

time by the Board; provided, however, that an amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with applicable law, regulation or stock exchange requirement, or that removes the prohibition on repricing in Section 11.1, shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair any rights or obligations under such Award theretofore granted or awarded unless the Award Agreement itself otherwise expressly so provides, and no amendment shall be made that could jeopardize the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust under the Code. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

12.6 Change in Control and Other Corporate Events.

(i) a determination that the Company shall pay to the holder of any Award, in consideration for the cancellation of such Award, an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the vesting or exercise of such Award had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested, as applicable, or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator;

(ii) a determination that Awards cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event, provided that such determination may not conflict with anything to the contrary in an Award Agreement;

(iii) a determination that all or some Awards shall become immediately vested and/or exercisable either prior to or as of such event, or that for a specified period of time prior to a transaction or event, an Option or SAR shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby;

(iv) a determination that upon such event, such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares or other property and prices which are the subject of such Award; or

(v) a determination to make adjustments to Awards consistent with Section 2.4.

(b) With respect to Awards, no adjustment or action described in this Section 12.6 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions. The number of Shares subject to any Option shall always be rounded to the next whole number.

The Administrator shall provide in the applicable Award Agreement the acceptable methods of satisfying such withholding obligations, which may include: (i) deducting such amounts from other compensation otherwise payable to the Participant; (ii) having Shares otherwise issuable hereunder withheld, the Fair Market Value of which is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s minimum estimated tax obligations (or any other amount of the Participant’s estimated tax obligations that preserves the treatment of an Award as equity for financial accounting purposes) associated with the transaction; (iii) tendering back to the Company previously acquired Shares or (iv) a combination of the foregoing. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement will obligate the Company to make any gross-up payment to offset any tax obligation (withholding or otherwise) of a Participant due to an Award.

12.9 Forfeiture Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in the terms of an Award Agreement, or by separate written instrument, that (i) any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by an Participant upon the receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying such Award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any outstanding portion of such Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (a) a Termination of Service occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (b) the Participant, at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with his or her Employer or the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of his or her Employer or the Company, as may be further defined from time to time by the Administrator.

12.10 Limitations Applicable to Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

Any amount payable under an Award will be excluded from compensation when calculating benefits payable to a Participant under any Company pension plan or Company welfare plan, unless the plan specifically says so.

12.12 Section 83(b) Election Prohibited. No Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any Award granted under the Plan without the Company’s consent.

Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Board, the Compensation Committee or the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

12.16 Code Section 409A.

(a) The Award Agreement for any Award that the Administrator reasonably determines to constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Plan”), and the provisions of the Plan applicable to that Award, shall be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Administrator, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, may amend any Award Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent that the Administrator determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in an Award Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.

(b) If any Award constitutes a Section 409A Plan, then the Award shall be subject to the following additional requirements, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code:

(i) Payments under the Section 409A Plan may not be made earlier than the first to occur of (u) the Participant’s “separation from service”, (v) the date the Participant becomes “disabled”, (w) the Participant’s death, (x) a “specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule)” specified in the Award Agreement at the date of the deferral of such compensation, (y) a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, or (z) the occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency”; provided, however, that the Administrator, in its discretion and without the Participant’s consent may exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of an Award where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A if and solely to the extent that such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) or any successor thereto;

(ii) The time or schedule for any payment of the deferred compensation may not be accelerated, except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations or other applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service;

(iii) Any elections with respect to the deferral of such compensation or the time and form of distribution of such deferred compensation shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A(a)(4) of the Code; and

(iv) In the case of any Participant who is “specified employee”, a distribution on account of a “separation from service” may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). For purposes of the foregoing, the terms in quotations shall have the same meanings as those terms have for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied in such manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any requirements of Section 409A of the Code that are applicable to the Award.

(c) For purposes of any Award that constitutes a Section 409A Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to a Participant that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(d) For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the payment of Dividend Equivalents under any Award shall be construed as earnings and the time and form of payment of such Dividend Equivalents shall be treated separately from the time and form of payment of the underlying Award.

12.17 Clawback or Recoupment. Other than with respect to Awards granted prior to the effectiveness of this Plan (and Shares and cash paid or payable thereunder), and unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement or determined in the Administrator’s sole discretion, all Awards, and all Shares and cash payable under all Awards, are subject to any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company (including any policy required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws), regardless of whether the policy is adopted after the date on which the Award is granted, vests or becomes exercisable, or is exercised or settled.
