The following maximum amounts of RSAs may be granted under this Objective LTIP based on the Company's 2018 consolidated pre-tax income (before charges/credits for changes in Redeemable Non-Controlling interests and any extraordinary items and after consideration of the compensation expense required to be reported in 2018 related to this Objective Bonus Plan and all other management incentive plans):   CEO = 11,000 shares; CFO = 5,500 shares; COO East = 5,500 shares; and COO West 5,500 shares.   For a complete description of the Objective LTIP refer to Exhibit 99.1, which plan is incorporated herein by reference.
