The revisions increase (1) the annual award of restricted common shares to $40,000 (from $25,000); (2) the annual fee for the Board Chair to $45,000 (from $10,000); and (3) the annual fees for Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees to $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively (from $7,500, $6,000 and $5,000, respectively). Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, which we incorporate into this Item 1.01, sets forth Trustee compensation as revised.
