F1: Each Notional Unit represents the right to receive one or more restricted common shares of the issuer contingent upon achieving designated share price targets determined at the end of a four-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2013. If the market price of issuer's common shares as of the end of the measurement period is at least $54.59 per share (but less than $58.49 per share), then each Notional Unit will convert into one restricted common share. If the market price of the issuer's common shares as of the end of the measurement period is at least $58.49 per share (but less than $62.38 per share), then each Notional Unit will convert into two restricted common shares. If the market price of issuer's common shares as of the end of the measurement period is at least $62.38 per share, then each Notional Unit will convert into three restricted common shares. These share price targets will be reduced on a penny-for-penny basis with respect to any dividend payments made during the measurement period, provided that in no event will the minimum price target be below $48.37 per share. The conversion ratios for any share prices in between the above targets will be calculated by linear interpolation. If at the end of the four-year measurement period the issuer's share price does not achieve a market price of $54.59 per share, adjusted for any dividends, but such common shares performed above the 50th percentile of the issuer's peer group in terms of total return to shareholders, including the reinvestment of dividends, then each Notional Unit will convert into one restricted common share. Restricted shares issued will vest and restrictions will cease to apply on December 31, 2014.

F2: Nothwithstanding the conversion ratio generally applicable to Notional Units, the maximum number of restricted common shares issuable to Steven B. Tanger shall not exceed 120,000 unless and until the Company's Incentive Award Plan is amended to increase the Award Limit (within the meaning of Section 1.4(c) of the Incentive Award Plan) and the Company's shareholders approve such amendment.
