In this scenario, the NEO would be entitled to:
•
compensation accrued at the time of termination
•
a lump sum severance payment equal to his “severance multiple” (which for Mr. Kite and Mr. McGowan is three, and for Mr. Fear is two), multiplied by the sum of his base salary then in effect and the average annual cash incentive compensation actually paid to the executive with respect to the prior three fiscal years
|
|

•
a lump sum severance payment equal to his pro-rata annual cash incentive compensation for the year of termination, subject to the applicable performance criteria having been met at target or above for that year
•
continued medical, prescription and dental benefits to him and/or his family for 18 months after his termination date
•
full and immediate vesting of his equity awards that are subject only to time-vesting based on service
•
pro-rata vesting of his performance-based equity awards (including performance-based LTIP Units and the Merger Award) if the performance objectives are achieved at the end of the performance period
•

| Termination by us for “Cause” or by the NEO without “Good Reason” | | |
In this scenario, the NEO would be entitled to:
•
compensation accrued at the time of termination
|
|
| | |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Termination for Death or Disability
|
| |
In this scenario, the NEO would be entitled to:
•
compensation accrued at the time of termination
•
a lump sum payment equal to his pro-rata annual cash incentive compensation target for the year of termination
•
continued medical, prescription and dental benefits to him and/or his family for 18 months after his termination date
•
under his employment agreement, full and immediate vesting of his equity awards other than any performance-based equity award that specifically supersedes the vesting provision of his employment agreement; for the performance-based LTIP Units and the Merger Award, pro-rata vesting if the performance objectives are achieved at the end of the performance period
•
under the form of award agreement for the AO LTIP Units,
pro-rata vesting of his unvested AO LTIP Units if the stock appreciation performance-based metric has already been met or is met within 90 days following such termination
|

| | | |||
|
Change in Control
|
| |
Under the Equity Plan, in the event of a “corporate transaction” (as defined in such plan) where outstanding equity awards are not assumed by our corporate successor, the NEO would receive:
•
full and immediate vesting of all equity awards that were granted under our previous equity incentive plans
•
full and immediate vesting of all time-vested equity awards granted under the Equity Plan (unless we elect to cancel such awards and pay the value received in the corporate transaction by holders of shares for them)
•
settlement of performance awards (i) at target if less than half the performance period has passed or if actual performance is not determinable, and (ii) based on actual performance to date if at least half the performance period has passed
Under the form of award agreement for the performance-based LTIP Units, in the event of a corporate transaction, if such awards are not assumed, continued, or substituted for, the greater number of (i) the number of performance-based LTIP Units determined in accordance with actual performance through such corporate transaction based on the pro-rated performance goals or (ii) the target number of performance-based LTIP Units, will vest.
Under the form of award agreement for the Merger Award, in the event of a corporate transaction, if such awards are not assumed, continued, or substituted for, the greatest number of LTIP Units determined in accordance with: (i) actual performance through such corporate transaction based on the pro-rated performance goals; (ii) 50% of the maximum number of LTIP Units subject to the Merger Award; or (iii) the number of LTIP Units as determined by the Compensation Committee, will vest.
Under the form of award agreement for the AO LTIP Units, in the event of a corporate transaction, if the AO LTIP Units are not
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| | | | assumed, continued, or substituted for, the stock appreciation performance-based metric is pro-rated through the date of the corporate transaction, and if the deal price for the corporate transaction would satisfy the pro-rated stock appreciation performance-based metric, the AO LTIP Units will vest and become exercisable in full. | |
