5.02(e):  On February 23, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Committee”) approved the adoption of the 2015 Executive Incentive Plan for the Trust’s chief executive officer (the “CEO”) and chief financial officer (the “CFO”).  Both individuals will participate in a short-term incentive program, based on the achievement of operating funds from operations per share targets, subject to the Trust’s achievement of a ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA below a specified threshold. The CEO and the CFO will have target short-term incentive opportunities equal to 125% and 75% of base salary, respectively.

Threshold payout (50% of target incentive), target payout (100% of target incentive) and maximum payout (200% of target incentive) will be determined by the Committee based on its assessment of the achievement of these performance goals.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the 2015 Executive Incentive Plan attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
