Equity Plan. The Restricted Shares will vest as to Mr. Sossen in quarterly installments over a three-year period beginning on March 31, 2012, subject to certain conditions.

(4) Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Stock.

("SCGG") is the sole member, currently holds RSUs (the "Manager RSUs"), which vest ratably in quarterly installments over a three-year period beginning on October 1, 2009, subject to the Manager's continued service as the manager of the issuer. SCGG has granted Mr. Sossen an interest in 30,000 of the Manager RSUs (the "Sossen RSUs"), consisting of the right to receive from the Manager (i) the dividend equivalents paid by the issuer with respect to RSUs, and (ii) the Stock underlying the Sossen RSUs, in each case when the Sossen RSUs vest as to Mr. Sossen, which vesting is subject to (1) the prior or concurrent vesting of the related Manager RSUs to the Manager (and the corresponding issuance and delivery by the issuer to the Manager of the underlying Stock), and (2) Mr. Sossen's employment with SCGG as of the applicable vesting date.
