1.Issuance of LTIP Units; Award Value.

(a)Award. This Award represents the right to: (i) vest in a number of LTIP Units representing all or a portion of the Maximum Award Value set forth above determined by reference to the Company’s absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance (“Absolute TSR”) and relative TSR performance (“Relative TSR”) over the Performance Period set forth above, and (ii) as described in Section 7 of the Outperformance Award Agreement, receive a payment (in the form as elected by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal to the dividends declared by the Company during the Performance Period with respect to a number of Earned Units that become vested in accordance with this agreement, as determined by reference to the Award Value, in each case, subject to the performance, vesting, payment, forfeiture and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b)Issuance of LTIP Units. The Operating Partnership hereby issues to the Participant the number of LTIP Units set forth above, all or a portion of which LTIP Units will become earned (“Earned Units”) based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions set forth below with respect to the Performance Period. To the extent earned and payable in accordance with this Agreement, the Award Value shall be satisfied by all or a portion of the LTIP Units becoming Earned Units, which will be subject to the additional vesting terms set forth herein. If not already a Partner, the Operating Partnership hereby admits the Participant as a Partner of the Operating Partnership on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement. The Operating Partnership and the Participant acknowledge and agree that the LTIP Units are hereby issued to the Participant for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership in his or her capacity as a Partner or in anticipation of the Participant becoming a Partner. Upon receipt of the Award, the Participant shall, automatically and without further action on his or her part, be deemed to be a party to, signatory of and bound by the Partnership Agreement. At the request of the Partnership, the Participant

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

shall execute the Partnership Agreement or a joinder or counterpart signature page thereto. The Participant acknowledges that the Partnership may from time to time issue or cancel (or otherwise modify) LTIP Units and/or other equity interests in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Award shall have the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.

2.Determination of the Award Value.

(a)Performance Conditions. The portion of the Maximum Award Value that is earned shall be based on the Company’s achievement of the Relative TSR and Absolute TSR metrics described below (each, a “Performance Condition”). Up to 50% of the Maximum Award Value will be earned to the extent that the performance objectives described in Section 2(b) are satisfied (the “Relative TSR Percentage”) and up to 50% of the Maximum Award Value will be earned to the extent that the performance objectives described in Section 2(c) are satisfied (the “Absolute TSR Percentage”).

(b)Relative TSR. The Relative TSR Percentage will be determined based on the INVH TSR for the Performance Period as compared to the Index Return for the Performance Period as follows:

(i)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is a positive percentage and the Index Return is a positive percentage, then:

(A)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]% or less of the Index Return for the Performance Period, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 0%.

(B)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]% or more of the Index Return for the Performance Period, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%. For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is [ ] percent ([ ]%) and the INVH TSR is [ ] percent ([ ]%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%.

If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period relative to the Index Return falls between the two examples set forth above, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be determined using linear interpolation (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point). For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is [ ] percent ([ ]%) and the INVH TSR is [ ] percent ([ ]%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 50%.

(ii)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is a negative percentage and the Index Return is a negative percentage, then:

(A)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is less than or equal to the Index Return for the Performance Period, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 0%.

(B)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]% or more than the Index Return (i.e., less negative) for the Performance Period, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%. For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is negative [ ] percent (-[ ]%) and the INVH TSR is negative [ ] percent (-[ ]%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%.

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

For the avoidance of doubt, the INVH TSR is greater than the Index Return if, for example, the INVH TSR is -8.0% and the Index Return is -10.0%. If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period relative to the Index Return falls between the two examples set forth above, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be determined using linear interpolation (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point). For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is negative [ ] percent (-[ ]%) and the INVH TSR is negative [ ] percent (-[ ]%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 50%.

(iii)Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, if the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is a positive percentage and the Index Return for the Performance Period is a negative percentage, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%. For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is negative one percent (-1.0%) and the INVH TSR is one percent (1.0%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 100%.

(iv)Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, if the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is a negative percentage and the Index Return for the Performance Period is a positive percentage, then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 0%. For example, if the Index Return for the Performance Period is one percent (1.0%) and the INVH TSR is negative one percent (-1.0%), then the Relative TSR Percentage shall be 0%.

(c)Absolute TSR. The Absolute TSR Percentage will be determined based on the INVH TSR for the Performance Period as follows:

(i)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]% or less, then the Absolute TSR Percentage shall be 0%.

(ii)If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]% or more, then the Absolute TSR Percentage shall be 100%.

If the INVH TSR for the Performance Period falls between the two examples set forth above, then the Absolute TSR Percentage shall be determined using linear interpolation (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point). For example, if the INVH TSR for the Performance Period is [ ]%, then the Absolute TSR Percentage shall be 50%.

(d)Calculation of the Award Value. As soon as reasonably practicable following the last day of the Performance Period, but in no event later than 30 days following the last day of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Award Value based on the percentages described above (the date of such determination, the “Determination Date”). All determinations with respect to whether and the extent to which a Performance Condition has been achieved shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and the applicable Performance Conditions shall not be achieved until the Committee certifies in writing the extent to which such Performance Conditions have been met.

(e)Unearned Portion of Maximum Award Value Forfeited. Any portion of the Maximum Award Value which is not earned based on actual performance during the Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the last day of the Performance Period.

(f)[Lock-In Feature. Upon completion of [ ] % of the Performance Period (which shall be [ ], [ ] reflecting [ ] months out of the 36 month Performance Period and referred herein as the “Interim Measurement Date”), an interim calculation of performance shall be performed to calculate the Relative TSR Percentage and the Absolute TSR Percentage as if the Interim Measurement Date were the last day of the Performance Period. To the extent the

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

Company’s performance through the Interim Measurement Date would result in a payout for either or both of the Relative TSR and Absolute TSR components of the Award (i.e., the Company has outperformed the Index Return and/or delivered more than a [ ]% Absolute TSR), then “Interim Award Multipliers” shall apply with respect to each of the Performance Conditions with such multipliers each equating to [ ]% of the multipliers calculated in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 2(c). For example, if the Index Return is eight percent (8.0%) and the INVH TSR is ten percent (10.0%) through the Interim Measurement Date, then the Interim Award Multiplier for the Relative TSR component of the Award would be [ ]% (calculated by multiplying the [ ]% multiplier determined under Section 2(b) by [ ]% to derive a value of [ ]%). Following the conclusion of the Performance Period, the applicable performance multipliers for each of the Relative TSR and Absolute TSR components of the Award shall equal the greater of (i) the applicable performance multipliers determined for the full Performance Period in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 2(c) or (ii) the Interim Award Multipliers for each such component. Notwithstanding the above, if upon conclusion of the Performance Period, the INVH TSR is at or below [ ]% of the Index Return, then the Interim Award Multipliers shall be deemed to equal zero. For example, if upon conclusion of the Performance Period, the Index Return is [ ] percent ([ ]%) and INVH TSR is [ ] percent ([ ]%), despite having previously established positive Interim Award Multipliers, such Interim Award Multipliers shall be deemed to equal zero.]

3.Calculation of Earned Units. Following calculation of the Award Value, a number of LTIP Units with a value equal to the Award Value (obtained using the closing price per Share on the Determination Date) shall become Earned Units. Any LTIP Units which do not become Earned Units based on actual performance during the Performance Period shall be forfeited effective as of the last day of the Performance Period.

4.Vesting of Earned Units. [ ]% of the Earned Units shall become vested on the Determination Date for the Performance Period. The remaining [ ]% of the Earned Units shall become vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the Performance Period, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date. If the number of Earned Units is not evenly divisible, then no fractional units shall vest and the installments shall be as equal as possible with the smaller installments vesting first.

Please contact xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx if you have questions or need to transact on your LTIP Units.

5.Definitions. For the purposes of this Award Notice:

(a)“Absolute TSR Component” shall equal, as of the last day of the Performance Period, an amount equal to the product of (i) 50% times (ii) the Maximum Award Value times (iii) the Absolute TSR Percentage.

(b)“Award Value” shall equal the sum of (i) the Absolute TSR Component plus (ii) the Relative TSR Component, provided, however, that in no event shall the Award Value be greater than the Maximum Award Value or be less than zero.

(d)“Ending Share Price” with respect to the Performance Period shall mean the 20 day trailing average closing stock price through (and including) the last trading day of a Performance Period.

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

(e)“Index Return” means the total shareholder return reported on the FTSE Nareit Residential Index for the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the Committee is that the Index Return be calculated in a manner designed to produce a fair comparison between the INVH TSR percentage and the FTSE Nareit Residential Index TSR percentage for the purpose of determining the Index Return.

(f)"Interim Measurement Date” shall mean [ ], [ ], which is reflective of completing [ ]% of the Performance Period.

(g)"Interim Award Multiplier” shall mean 50% of any Award Value measured based on performance through the Interim Measurement Date.

(h)“INVH TSR” means the cumulative growth rate, expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (0.1%)) in the value of a Share during the Performance Period reflecting the appreciation or depreciation in the price per Share during the Performance Period, assuming dividends are reinvested on their respective ex-dividend dates, and calculated using the following formula (where “D” is the ending amount of total dividends paid to a shareholder of record with respect to one Share during the Performance Period reinvested):

Ending Share Price + D - Beginning Share Price

Beginning Share Price

(i) “Relative TSR Component” shall mean, as of the last day of the Performance Period, an amount equal to the product of (i) 50% times (ii) the Maximum Award Value times (iii) the Relative TSR Percentage.

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

Any transfer of the Award or LTIP Units which is not made in compliance with the Plan, the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect. The Participant may not assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Award or the LTIP Units except as permitted by the Partnership Agreement.

9.Repayment of Proceeds; Clawback Policy. In the event of a Restrictive Covenant Violation or if the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Participant shall be required, in addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), to pay to the Company, within 10 business days of the Company’s request to the Participant therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds the Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the LTIP Units (including any Dividend Equivalents previously paid). In addition, in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results (other than a restatement caused by a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations), the result of which is that the number of LTIP Units that became Earned Units would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated results, and the Committee determines that the Participant engaged in fraud or intentional illegal conduct which materially contributed to the need for such restatement, the Company shall be entitled to recoup from the Participant, an amount equal to the excess of the compensation received by the Participant over the amount the Participant would have been entitled to if calculated based on the restated financial results. The amount of any request for clawback or recoupment shall take into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment. The Award and all proceeds of the LTIP Units shall be subject to the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s clawback policies, if any, and as in effect from time to time, to the extent any such policy is required by law.

10.No Right to Continued Employment or Engagement. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor the Participant’s receipt of the Award hereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment or engagement of the Participant. Further, the Company or any of its Affiliates (as applicable) may at any time terminate the employment or engagement of the Participant, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

11.Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. The terms of this Agreement, including the LTIP Units, any Performance Period Dividend Equivalents, and/or the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14 of the Plan. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Company’s Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property). In the event of an equity restructuring, the Committee shall adjust any Performance Condition to the extent it is affected by such restructuring in order to preserve (without enlarging) the likelihood that such Performance Condition shall be satisfied. The manner of such adjustment shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For this purpose, “equity restructuring” shall mean an “equity restructuring” as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10.

12.Taxes. The Operating Partnership and the Participant intend that (i) the LTIP Units be treated as a “profits interest” as defined in in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (ii) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Operating Partnership or the Participant as provided in such revenue procedure, and (iii) the Partnership Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the LTIP Units, the Operating Partnership may revalue all Operating Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the partners, in each case as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary may withhold from the Participant’s wages, or require the Participant to pay to such entity, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Award hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on the Award, or from the ownership or disposition of the LTIP Units. To the extent applicable, the terms of this Agreement will be treated as part of the Partnership Agreement for tax purposes.

13.Award Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. The Award granted hereunder (including the LTIP Units) is subject to the Plan. The LTIP Units are deemed to be OP Units under the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

14.Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.

15.Governing Law; Arbitration and Venue.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Maryland, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

(b)Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement (other than a controversy or claim arising with respect to the matters set forth in Appendix A, to the extent necessary for the Company or Operating Partnership (or other member of the Company Group, where applicable) to avail itself of the rights and remedies referred to therein) that is not resolved by Participant and the Company or Operating Partnership (or other member of the Company Group, where applicable) through good-faith negotiations shall be submitted to arbitration in Dallas, Texas and the employment

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

arbitration rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, before an arbitrator experienced in employment and compensation disputes who is licensed to practice law in the State of Texas. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Operating Partnership (or other member of the Company Group, where applicable) and Participant (or its heirs, beneficiaries or assigns, where applicable) and judgment may be entered on the arbitrator(s)’ award in any court having component jurisdiction. Each of the Participant, the Company, the Operating Partnership and any transferees who hold the Award pursuant to a valid assignment hereby irrevocably waives (a) any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Maryland; (b) any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum; and (c) any right to a jury trial.

16.Successors in Interest. Any successor to the Company and the Operating Partnership shall have the benefits of the Company and the Operating Partnership under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. Likewise, the Participant’s legal representative shall have the benefits of the Participant under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company and the Operating Partnership under this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

17.Data Privacy Consent.

(a)General. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Participant’s employer or contracting party (the “Employer”) and the Company and the Operating Partnership for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company and the Operating Partnership may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, work location and phone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, hire date, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or the Operating Partnership, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Personal Data”).

(b)Use of Personal Data; Retention. The Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, now or in the future, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Personal Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative.

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

(c)Withdrawal of Consent. The Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of the Participant’s refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company and the Operating Partnership would not be able to grant Awards, LTIP Units or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.

18.Restrictive Covenants. The Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, that the Participant will be allowed access to confidential and proprietary information (including, but not limited to, trade secrets) about those businesses, as well as access to the prospective and actual customers, suppliers, investors, clients and partners involved in those businesses, and the goodwill associated with the Company and its Affiliates. Participant accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A to this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

19.Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Award contemplated hereunder, the Participant expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the grant of the Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past; (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of Awards, if any, including the grant date, the number of LTIP Units granted and the applicable vesting terms, will be at the sole discretion of the Company and the Operating Partnership; (d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically be inferred from such employment contract or its consequences; (f) grants of Awards, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, the Participant waives any claim on such basis, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Award shall not constitute an “acquired right” under the applicable law of any jurisdiction; and (g) the future value of the underlying LTIP Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, the Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no rights to compensation or damages related to Award proceeds in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract.

20.Award Administrator. The Company or the Operating Partnership may from time to time designate a third party (an “Award Administrator”) to assist the Company or the Operating Partnership in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and any Awards granted thereunder, including by sending award notices on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership to Participants, and by facilitating through electronic means acceptance of Outperformance Award Agreements by Participants.

21.Section 409A of the Code.

(a)This Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any respect as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including without limitation by delaying the issuance of the LTIP Units contemplated hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, no payments in respect of any LTIP Unit that is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be made to such Participant prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death. Following any applicable six-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day. The Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code that may be imposed on or in respect of the Participant in connection with this Agreement, and the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not be liable to any Participant for any payment made under this Plan that is determined to result in an additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code, nor for reporting in good faith any payment made under this Agreement as an amount includible in gross income under Section 409A of the Code. Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

22.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company and Operating Partnership may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or Operating Partnership or a third party designated by the Company or Operating Partnership.

23.Acceptance and Agreement by the Participant. By accepting the Award (including through electronic means), the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement, and the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s policies, as in effect from time to time, relating to the Plan. The Participant’s rights under the Award will lapse forty-five (45) days from the Date of Grant, and the Award will be forfeited on such date if the Participant shall not have accepted this Agreement by such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant’s failure to accept this Agreement shall not affect the Participant’s continuing obligation xxxxxx any other agreement between the Company or the Operating Partnership and the Participant.

24.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company and the Operating Partnership are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company or the Operating Partnership making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying LTIP Units. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with the Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

25.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company and the Operating Partnership reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares or LTIP Units acquired under the Plan, to the extent

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

the Company or the Operating Partnership determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

26.Waiver.

(ii)The Participant shall take all requested actions and execute all requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of the Company’s rights in the Company Works. If the Company is unable for any other reason, to secure the Participant’s signature on any document for this purpose, then the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in the Participant’s behalf and stead to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts required in connection with the foregoing.

(iii)The provisions of Section 2 hereof shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment or engagement, in either case, for any reason.

001409-0025-15355-Active.30108917.6

law, or (iii) receive an award from a Governmental Entity for information provided under any whistleblower program, including the Participant’s right to seek and obtain a whistleblower award for providing information relating to a possible securities law violation to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.Specific Performance. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of Section 1 or 2 of this Appendix A may be inadequate and the Company may suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach. In recognition of this fact, the Participant agrees that, in the event of a Restrictive Covenant Violation, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
