	(i)	the difference between (x) the Initial Shares and (y) all Buyback Shares repurchased or redeemed between the Effective Date and the Final Valuation Date, and then multiplied by
	(ii)	the sum of one hundred percent (100%) plus the Target Final Absolute Return Percentage; plus

(B)

with respect to each Additional Share issued after the Effective Date, the Additional Share Baseline Value of such Additional Share, multiplied by the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) plus (ii) the product of the Target Final Absolute Return Percentage multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days from the issuance of such Additional Share to and including the Final Valuation Date and (y) the denominator of which is the number of days from and including the Effective Date to and including the Final Valuation Date; plus

(C)

with respect to each Buyback Share repurchased or redeemed after the Effective Date, the Baseline Value, multiplied by the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) plus (ii) the product of the Target Final Absolute Return Percentage multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days from the Effective Date to and including the date such Buyback Share was repurchased or redeemed and (y) the denominator of which is the number of days from and including the Effective Date to and including the Final Valuation Date;

“Final Adjustment Factor” means a factor carried out to the sixth decimal determined by a straight-line interpolation between: (A) zero (0) if the Final Hurdle Rate is twenty-eight percent (28%) or less; and (B) one (1) if the Final Hurdle Rate is forty percent (40%) or more.

“Final Hurdle Rate” means a percentage consisting of the Company’s TRS Percentage over the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the Final Valuation Date; provided that if the Final Valuation Date occurs prior to March 31, 2012 as a result of a Change of Control, then for purposes of determining the Final Adjustment Factor to be used in calculating

the Final Relative TRS Pool as of the Final Valuation Date, the Final Hurdle Rate shall instead be the Company’s TRS Percentage over the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the date of the Change of Control (or, with respect to a Transactional Change of Control, the date of the Public Announcement of such Transactional Change of Control) divided by the CoC Fraction.

“Final Relative Baseline” means, as of the Final Valuation Date, an amount representing (without double-counting) the sum of:

(A)

the Baseline Value multiplied by:

(i)

the difference between (x) the Initial Shares and (y) all Buyback Shares repurchased or redeemed between the Effective Date and the Final Valuation Date, and then multiplied by

(ii)

the sum of one hundred percent (100%) plus the Index Return Percentage for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Final Valuation Date; plus

(B)

with respect to each Additional Share issued after the Effective Date, the Additional Share Baseline Value of such Additional Share multiplied by the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) plus (ii) the Index Return Percentage for the period beginning on the date of issuance of such Additional Share and ending on the Final Valuation Date; plus

(C)

with respect to each Buyback Share repurchased or redeemed after the Effective Date, the Baseline Value multiplied by the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) plus (ii) the Index Return Percentage for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date such Buyback Share was repurchased or redeemed.

If the Company consummates multiple issuances of Additional Shares and/or repurchases of Buyback Shares during any one monthly or quarterly period, such that it would be impractical to track the precise issuance date and issuance price of each individual Additional Share and/or repurchase or redemption date of each individual Buyback Share, the Compensation Committee may in its discretion approve timing and calculation conventions (such as net-at-end-of-period or average-during-the-period) reasonably designed to simplify the administration of this Award.

“Final Relative TRS Pool” means, as of the Final Valuation Date, a dollar amount (which can be positive or negative) calculated as follows: (A) subtract the Final Relative Baseline from the Final Total Return, in each case as of the Final Valuation Date; (B) multiply the resulting amount by three percent (3%); and (C) multiply the lesser of (i) the resulting amount or (ii) $75,000,000 by the Final Adjustment Factor; provided that in no event shall the Final Relative TRS Pool exceed the difference between (x) the Maximum Final Outperformance Pool Amount

and (y) the sum of (I) the Stage One Total Outperformance Pool and (II) the Stage Two Total Outperformance Pool.

“Final Total Outperformance Pool” means, as of the Final Valuation Date, a dollar amount calculated as follows: (A) take the algebraic sum of (i) the Final Absolute TRS Pool and (ii) the Final Relative TRS Pool (whether the latter amount is positive or negative) and (B) subtract from the resulting amount the sum of (i) the Stage One Total Outperformance Pool and (ii) the Stage Two Total Outperformance Pool, if any; provided that if the resulting amount is a negative number, then the Final Total Outperformance Pool shall be zero; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Final Total Outperformance Pool exceed the difference between (x) the Maximum Final Outperformance Pool Amount and (y) the sum of (I) the Stage One Total Outperformance Pool and (II) the Stage Two Total Outperformance Pool.

“Final Total Shares” means (without double-counting), as of the Final Valuation Date, the algebraic sum of: (A) the Initial Shares, minus (B) all Buyback Shares repurchased or redeemed between the Effective Date and the Final Valuation Date, plus (C) all Additional Shares issued between the Effective Date and the Final Valuation Date.

At any time prior to or in connection with the calculation of the Final OPP Unit Equivalent, the Partnership may issue additional LTIP Units to the Grantee as provided in this Section 3 that shall also be considered Award OPP Units and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership may reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws. The Award OPP Units shall be eligible for vesting over a five-year period, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 hereof, based on a combination of (i) the Company’s performance over a four-year period (or a shorter period in certain circumstances as provided herein) as indicated by the calculations required by this Section 3 and (ii) the passage of time (five years or a shorter period in certain circumstances as provided herein) as provided in Section 3(e). Vesting will occur at the times, in the amounts and upon the conditions set forth in this Section 3 and in Section 4, provided that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on the each applicable vesting date.

(b) As soon as practicable following the Stage One Valuation Date, but as of the Stage One Valuation Date, the Committee will:

divide the resulting amount by the highest Common Share Price among those calculated as of every day within the period of one hundred and twenty (120) days immediately preceding the Stage One Valuation Date (appropriately adjusted to the extent that the Shares Amount for one Partnership Unit is greater or less than one Common Share).

The resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent.” A number of Award OPP Units equal to the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent shall thereafter no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 3, but shall still be subject to vesting pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof. If the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent is smaller than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, then the balance of the Award OPP Units shall continue to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 3. If the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent is greater than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(b): (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Stage One Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award OPP 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 OPP Units will refer collectively to the Award OPP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership may reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.

	(iii)	determine the Stage Two Total Outperformance Pool (if any);
	(iv)	multiply (x) the Stage Two Total Outperformance Pool calculated as of the Stage Two Valuation Date by (y) the Grantee’s Participation Percentage as of the Stage Two Valuation Date; and
	(v)	divide the resulting amount by the highest Common Share Price among those calculated as of every day within the period of one hundred and twenty (120) days immediately preceding the Stage Two Valuation Date

(appropriately adjusted to the extent that the Shares Amount for one Partnership Unit is greater or less than one Common Share).

The resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent”. A number of Award OPP Units equal to the Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) shall thereafter no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 3, but shall still be subject to vesting pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof. If the Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is smaller than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, (including any additional LTIP Units added to the Award OPP Units under Section 3(b) above) then the balance of the Award OPP Units shall continue to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section 3. If the Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is greater than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(c): (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Second Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award OPP 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 OPP Units will refer collectively to the Award OPP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee 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.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Final Valuation Date, but as of the Final Valuation Date, the Committee will:

(v) divide the resulting amount by the highest Common Share Price among those calculated as of every day within the period of one hundred and fifty (150) days immediately preceding the Final Valuation Date (appropriately adjusted to the extent that the Shares Amount for one Partnership Unit is greater or less than one Common Share).

The resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “Final OPP Unit Equivalent”. If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent and Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is smaller than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, shall forfeit a number of Award OPP Units equal to the difference, and thereafter the term Award OPP Units will refer only to the remaining Award OPP Units that were not so forfeited. If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent and Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is greater than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee (including any additional LTIP Units added to the Award OPP Units under Section 3(b) or (3)(c) above), then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(d): (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award OPP 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 OPP Units will refer collectively to the Award OPP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee 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. If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent (plus the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent and Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is the same as the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of Award OPP Units under this Award pursuant to this Section 3.

(e) If any of the Award OPP Units have been earned based on performance as provided in Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d), subject to Section 4 hereof, the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested in the following amounts and at the following times, provided that the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on the applicable vesting date or the accelerated vesting date provided in Section 4 hereof, as applicable:

(i) fifty percent (50%) of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested on March 31, 2012; and

(ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested on March 31, 2013.

To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this Section 3(e), the provisions of Schedule A will govern. For the avoidance of doubt, vesting pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall not distinguish between Award OPP Units that have ceased to be subject to forfeiture as part of the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent or Final OPP Unit Equivalent.

(f) Any Award OPP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 4 hereof 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 unvested Award OPP Units.

(g) If the calculations provided in this Section 3 are triggered by a Change of Control, one hundred percent (100%) of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall vest immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs after the Final Valuation Date, all unvested Award OPP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the calculations set forth in this Section 3 hereof shall vest immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Change of Control.

(h) In the event of a Change of Control, the Committee will make any determinations and certifications required by this Agreement and any provisions necessary with respect to the lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or acceleration of vesting of this Award within a period of time that enables (i) the Grantee to exercise election, voting or other rights in connection with such Change of Control on the same basis as a Class A Unit holder and (ii) the Company to take any action or make any deliveries or payments it is obligated to make hereunder or under the Partnership Agreement not later than the date of consummation of the Change of Control. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change of Control, the performance of all calculations and actions pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) hereof and the exercise of any election, voting or other rights pursuant to this Section 3(h) shall be conditioned upon the final consummation of such Change of Control.

Termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service; Death and Disability.

(a) If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement and his or her Continuous Service terminates, the provisions of Sections 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(e), 4(f) and 4(g) hereof shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units exclusively, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Section 4(a) and provides that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units upon such termination. The foregoing sentence will be deemed an amendment to any applicable Service Agreement to the extent required to apply its terms consistently with this Section 4, such that, by way of illustration, any provisions of the Service Agreement with respect to accelerated vesting or payout or the lapse of forfeiture restrictions relating to the Grantee’s incentive or other compensation awards in the event of certain types of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company (such as, for example, termination at the end of the term, termination without Cause by the employer or termination for Good Reason by the employee) shall not be interpreted as requiring that any calculations set forth in Section 3 hereof be performed, or vesting occur with respect to this Award other than as specifically provided in this Section 4. In the event that an entity to which the Grantee

provides services ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for the lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or accelerated vesting of some or all of the Grantee’s unvested Award OPP Units that have not previously been forfeited, effective immediately prior to such event, or determine that the Grantee’s Continuous Service to the Company or any other of its Affiliates has not been terminated. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Grantee’s Service Agreement, if any, and the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to death or Disability, the provisions of such Service Agreement shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units in the event of death or Disability.

(b) In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service by (A) the Company without Cause, (B) the Grantee for Good Reason, or (C) the Grantee upon Retirement (each a “Qualified Termination”) prior to the Final Valuation Date, then the Grantee will not forfeit the Award OPP Units upon such termination, but the following provisions of this Section 4(b) shall modify the calculations required to determine the Total OPP Unit Equivalent and/or the vesting of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent, as applicable, with respect to the Grantee only:

(i) the calculations provided in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) and Section 3(d) hereof shall be performed as of the Stage One Valuation Date, Stage Two Valuation Date and Final Valuation Date, respectively, as if the Qualified Termination had not occurred;

(ii) each of (I) the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(b), (II) the Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(c) and (III) the Final OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(d) shall be multiplied by the applicable Partial Service Factor (with the resulting numbers being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent and Final OPP Unit Equivalent, respectively, for all purposes under this Agreement; and

(iii) the Grantee’s Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent, Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent and Total OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, the Grantee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 7 hereof) his or her Award OPP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Total OPP Unit Equivalent, as

adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) above, would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(b)(iii) is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2008 OPP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of 2008 OPP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(e) hereof.

(c) In the event of Qualified Termination on or after the Final Valuation Date, then all of the Grantee’s unvested Award OPP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof, but remain subject to time-based vesting pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof as of the time of such Qualified Termination shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, the Grantee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 7 hereof) his or her Award OPP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Total OPP Unit Equivalent would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(c) is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2008 OPP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of OPP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(e) hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any payment to be made hereunder after giving effect to this Section 4 is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code subject to the six-month delay thereunder, any such payments to be made during the six-month period commencing on the Grantee’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed until the expiration of such six-month period.

(e) In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability prior to the Final Valuation Date, the Grantee will not forfeit the Award OPP Units, but the following provisions of this Section 4(e) shall apply:

(i) the calculations provided in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) and Section 3(d) hereof shall be performed as of the Stage One Valuation Date, Stage

Two Valuation Date and Final Valuation Date, respectively, as if the Grantee’s death or Disability had not occurred; and

(iii) 100% of the Grantee’s Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Stage One Valuation Date;

(iv) 100% of the Grantee’s Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Stage Two Valuation Date; and

(v) 100% of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Final Valuation Date.

(f) In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability after the Final Valuation Date, 100% of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of such termination date.

(g) In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service other than a Qualified Termination or by reason of death or Disability, all Award OPP Units except for those that, as of the date at such termination, both (i) have ceased to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Sections 3(b), 3(c) and/or 3(d) hereof, as applicable, and (ii) have vested pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, 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 such Award OPP Units.

5. Payments by Award Recipients; Status as Partner. No amount shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee at any time in respect of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this Agreement (and the Award evidenced hereby) unless he or she shall have accepted this Agreement by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) unless the Grantee is already a Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon acceptance of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the LTIP Units so accepted. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the number of 2008 OPP Units specified on Schedule A hereto, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein. Award OPP Units constitute and shall be treated for all purposes as the property of the Grantee, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.

Distributions.

(a) The holder of the Award OPP Units shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such Award OPP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement as modified hereby.

(b) The Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for the Award OPP Units (to the extent provided in Section 6(c) below) shall be the Stage One Valuation Date, the Stage Two Valuation Date or the Final Valuation Date, as applicable, except that if the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof become applicable to the Grantee, the Distribution Participation Date for the Grantee shall be accelerated to the date the calculations provided in Section 3 hereof are performed with respect to the Award OPP Units that are no longer subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.

(c) Following each applicable Distribution Participation Date, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of the same distributions payable with respect to Class A Units on the number of Award OPP Units which equals:

(i) if the Distribution Participation Date is the Stage One Valuation Date, the Stage One OPP Unit Equivalent;

(ii) if the Distribution Participation Date is the Stage Two Valuation Date, the Stage Two OPP Unit Equivalent; and

(iii) if the Distribution Participation Date is the Final Valuation Date (or an earlier date if the Distribution Participation Date is accelerated pursuant to Section 6(b)), the Total OPP Unit Equivalent.

(d) Subject to Sections 6(b) and 6(c), prior to each applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award OPP Units shall be entitled to ten percent (10%) of any distributions payable on the Class A Units.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award OPP Units, both vested and (until and unless forfeited pursuant to Section 3(f) and 4(g) hereof) unvested, shall be entitled to receive the same distributions payable with respect to Class A Units if the payment date for such distributions is after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, even though the record date for such distributions is before the applicable Distribution Participation Date.

(f) All distributions paid with respect to Award OPP Units, whether at the rate provided in Sections 6(d) hereof prior to the applicable Distribution Participation Date or at the rate provided in Sections 6(c) hereof after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid, regardless of the fact that the underlying 2008 OPP Units may be subject to forfeiture or have not yet become, or never become, vested pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof.

7. Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the Award OPP Units granted hereunder nor any of the Partnership Units of the Partnership into which such Award OPP Units may be converted (the “Award Partnership Units”) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”), provided that vested Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units that have been held for a period of at least two (2) years beginning on the Effective Date may be Transferred to (i) the Grantee’s Family Members by gift or pursuant to domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights or (iii) to an entity in which fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity, provided that 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 7. Additionally, all Transfers of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership 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 OPP Units or Award Partnership 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). Any attempted Transfer of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award OPP Units or Award Partnership 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 OPP Units or Award Partnership Units. Except as provided expressly in this Section 7, 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.

8. Changes in Capital Structure. 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 stock of the Company or other transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital stock of the Company or any other event that constitutes a change in stock under the terms of the Share Plan shall occur, (iii) any extraordinary dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Shares or Class A Units shall be declared and paid other than in the ordinary course, or (iv) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable or proportionate adjustment in the terms of this Award, this Agreement or the 2008 OPP Units to avoid distortion in the value of this Award, then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Award and the terms of the 2008 OPP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation: (A) interpretations of or modifications to any defined term in this Agreement; (B) adjustments in any calculations provided for in this Agreement, and (C) substitution of other awards under the Share Plan or otherwise.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee; provided that any such amendment or modification materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee hereunder must be consented to by the Grantee to be effective as against him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company and the Partnership to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee’s rights hereunder. This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company or the Partnership.

(b) Incorporation of Share Plan; Committee Determinations. The provisions of the Share Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Share Plan, the Share Plan shall govern. The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications.

(c) Status of 2008 OPP Units under the Share Plan. This Award and the other 2008 OPP awards constitute awards of OP Units (as defined in the 2002 Plan) by the Company under the 2002 Plan. The Award OPP Units are interests in the Partnership. The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Share Plan underlying outstanding Award OPP Units will be determined by the Committee in light of all applicable circumstances, including

calculations made or to be made under Section 3 hereof, vesting, capital account allocations and/or balances under the Partnership Agreement, the conversion ratio in effect between LTIP Units and Class A Units and the exchange ratio in effect between Class A Units and Common Shares. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Common Shares in exchange for Award Partnership Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Common Shares, if issued, will be issued under the Share Plan. The Grantee must be eligible to receive the Award OPP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such determination by the Committee.

(d) Legend. The records of the Partnership evidencing the Award OPP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such 2008 OPP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Share Plan, and in the Partnership Agreement.

(e) Compliance With Law. The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no 2008 OPP Units will become vested or be paid at a time that such vesting or payment would result in a violation of any such law.

(f) Investment Representations; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties and set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any 2008 OPP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of 2008 OPP Units. The Grantee agrees that any resale of the shares of Common Shares received upon the exchange of Units into which 2008 OPP Units may be converted shall not occur during the “blackout periods” forbidding sales of Company securities, as set forth in the then applicable Company employee manual or insider trading policy. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).

(g) Section 83(b) Election. In connection with each separate issuance of LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to Section 3 hereof the Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the applicable Award OPP Units pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Grantee agrees to file the election (or to permit the Partnership to file such election on the Grantee’s behalf) within thirty (30) days after the award of the 2008 OPP Units hereunder with the IRS Service Center at which such Grantee files his personal income tax returns, and to file a

copy of such election with the Grantee’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the 2008 OPP Units are awarded to the Grantee.

(h) Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

(j) No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor and this Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time.

(k) Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.

(l) Withholding and Taxes. No later than 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 this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount; provided, however, that if any Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units are withheld (or returned), the number of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units so withheld (or returned) shall be limited to a number which has a fair market value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.

(m) Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(n) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

(o) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee.

(p) Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with a good faith interpretation of Section 409A of the Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or that may result in penalties under Section 409A of the Code, shall be amended, with the reasonable cooperation of the Grantee, the Company and the Partnership, to the extent necessary to exempt it from, or bring it into compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

FORM OF LIMITED PARTNER SIGNATURE PAGE

The Grantee, desiring to become one of the within named Limited Partners of Vornado Realty L.P., hereby accepts all of the terms and conditions of (including, without limitation, the Section 15.11 “Power of Attorney” thereof), and becomes a party to, the Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of October 20, 1997, of Vornado Realty L.P., as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”). The Grantee agrees that this signature page may be attached to any counterpart of the Partnership Agreement and further agrees as follows (where the term “Limited Partner” refers to the Grantee):

The Limited Partner hereby confirms that it has reviewed the terms of the Partnership Agreement and affirms and agrees that it is bound by each of the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions thereof relating to limitations and restrictions on the transfer of Partnership Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

The Limited Partner hereby confirms that it is acquiring the Partnership Units for its own account as principal, for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution, and that the Partnership Units may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Limited Partner otherwise than in a transaction pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Partnership (which it has no obligation to file) or that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all applicable state and foreign securities laws, and the General Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may refuse to transfer any Partnership Units as to which evidence of such registration or exemption from registration satisfactory to the General Partner is not provided to it, which evidence may include the requirement of a legal opinion regarding the exemption from such registration. If the General Partner delivers to the Limited Partner Common Shares of Beneficial Interest of the General Partner (“Common Shares”) upon redemption of any Partnership Units, the Common Shares will be acquired for the Limited Partner’s own account as principal, for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution, and the Common Shares may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Limited Partner otherwise than in a transaction pursuant to a registration statement filed by the General Partner with respect to such Common Shares (which it has no obligation under the Partnership Agreement to file) or that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state and foreign securities laws, and the General Partner may refuse to transfer any Common Shares as to which evidence of such registration or exemption from such registration satisfactory to the General Partner is not provided to it, which evidence may include the requirement of a legal opinion regarding the exemption from such registration.

The Limited Partner hereby affirms that it has appointed the General Partner, any Liquidator (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact of each, and each of those acting singly, in each case with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, in accordance with Section 15.11 of the Partnership Agreement, which section is hereby incorporated by reference. The

foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to be irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be affected by the death, incompetency, dissolution, disability, incapacity, bankruptcy or termination of the Limited Partner and shall extend to the Limited Partner’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

4.	The Limited Partner hereby confirms that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Partnership Agreement to the contrary, the Award OPP Units shall not be redeemable by the Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement.

(a) The Limited Partner hereby irrevocably consents in advance to any amendment to the Partnership Agreement, as may be recommended by the General Partner, intended to avoid the Partnership being treated as a publicly-traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, including, without limitation, (x) any amendment to the provisions of Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement intended to increase the waiting period between the delivery of a Notice of Redemption (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the Specified Redemption Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and/or the Valuation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to up to sixty (60) days or (y) any other amendment to the Partnership Agreement intended to make the redemption and transfer provisions, with respect to certain redemptions and transfers, more similar to the provisions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(f).
