On March 10, 2015, 2,000 time-based RSUs were awarded under the 2014 Second Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan.

On March 10, 2015, 8,000 performance-based RSUs were awarded under the 2014 Second Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan. For the performance based RSUs, there are three performance tiers and each tier represents 33% of the entire grant. The performance tiers are based on the dividend per share ("DPS") targets of the Issuer. If certain DPS goals for the respective performance tier are not achieved, the award for that tier is forfeited in its entirety. If certain DPS goals are met for the first quarter of 2016 and each quarter of 2017 and 2018, measured over the trailing twelve months, the first, second and third performance tier, as applicable, will vest at a specified level, based upon the level of DPS achieved.
