in the Amendment), none of the employees listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, an
“NRE Employee”) shall (i) have his or her base salary or target cash or equity

Section 2.2    2018 NRE Annual Bonuses.
(a)    Annual cash bonuses for 2018 performance shall be paid to executive
officers of the Company and other NRE Employees by the Asset Manager Parent or
one of its Subsidiaries in amounts that are not less than the amounts set forth
in the NRE 2018 Compensation Summary, dated as of the date hereof and

(b)    Subject to Section 2.4(d) below, annual equity bonuses for 2018
performance shall be granted to executive officers of the Company and other NRE
Employees by the Company in accordance with the amounts set forth in the
Compensation Summary using a per share price equal to $17.75. The annual equity
bonuses shall be granted in shares of Company restricted stock pursuant to the
NRE Equity Plan and such shares of Company restricted stock will vest in three
substantially equal annual installments on March 15, 2020, 2021 and 2022,
provided that a Termination Event (as defined below) has not occurred prior to
the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of the
restricted stock shall immediately accelerate in full upon (i) the closing of an
NRE Change of Control, (ii) termination of the employment of the applicable NRE
Employee without Cause (with Company consent) or (iii) if there is no NRE Change
of Control and the Asset Management Agreement is terminated (and no other Asset
Manager Affiliate is then serving as the external manager of the Company), other
than as a result of a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 12(a) of
the Asset Management Agreement or a termination by the Asset Manager that
constitutes a breach of the Asset Management Agreement; except, with respect to
clauses (ii) and (iii), in connection with an internalization of the management
of the Company pursuant to which the applicable NRE Employee is offered
employment with the Company (each, an “NRE Employee Acceleration Event”);
provided that such acceleration with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) may be
subject to the effectiveness of a release of claims in favor of the Company and
related persons and entities in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company.
For purposes hereof, a “Termination Event” means either (i) the NRE Employee’s
employment with the Asset Manager and any direct or indirect parent entities

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Asset Manager (which, for avoidance of doubt, currently includes Asset
Manager Parent) and any Subsidiaries of any such parent entity (collectively,
“Asset Manager Affiliates”), as applicable, is voluntarily or involuntarily
terminated for any reason (including death) or (ii) the Asset Manager is
terminated (and no other Asset Manager Affiliate is then serving) as the
external manager of the Company, in each case, other than an event constituting
an NRE Employee Acceleration Event; provided that if such a termination occurs
in connection with an internalization of the management of the Company and the
applicable NRE Employee becomes an employee of the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries in connection with such termination, then (x) such termination will
not constitute a Termination Event and (y) thereafter, a termination of such NRE
Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall constitute a
Termination Event.
(c)    The Parties agree that the Company shall establish an equity bonus pool
consisting of 48,815 shares of Company restricted stock that shall be allocated
by the Asset Manager or an Asset Manager Affiliate at its sole discretion to
employees of the Asset Manager or an Asset Manager Affiliate who are not
executive officers of the Company or NRE Employees, subject to Section 2.4(d)
below. The shares of restricted stock shall be granted pursuant to the NRE
Equity Plan and will vest on March 15, 2020, 2021 and 2022 in three
substantially equal annual installments, provided that neither of the following
has occurred prior to the applicable vesting date: (i) the recipient’s
employment with the Asset Manager and any Asset Manager Affiliates, as
applicable, is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason (including
death) or (ii) the Asset Manager is terminated (and no other Asset Manager
Affiliate is then serving) as the external manager of the Company, in each case,
other than an event pursuant to which vesting is accelerated as set forth below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of the Company restricted stock shall
immediately accelerate upon (i) the closing of an NRE Change of Control, or (ii)
if there is no NRE Change of Control and the Asset Management Agreement is
terminated (and no other Asset Manager Affiliate is then serving as the external
manager of the Company), other than as a result of a termination by the Company
pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Asset Management Agreement or a termination by
the Asset Manager that constitutes a breach of the Asset Management Agreement;
provided that such acceleration with respect to clause (ii) may be subject to
the effectiveness of a release of claims (each, an “Asset Management
Acceleration Event”).
Section 2.3    Cash Severance.
(a)    The Parties agree that the Asset Manager or an Asset Manager Affiliate
shall pay to each NRE Employee (other than Mahbod Nia, whose cash severance will
be determined and paid in accordance with the Employment Agreement and Section
2.3(b)) cash severance upon a qualifying termination of employment by the Asset
Manager or an Asset Manager Affiliate that is no less than the amounts
determined in accordance with the severance policy maintained by the Asset
Manager and the Asset Manager Affiliate (the material terms of which are
summarized on Exhibit B attached hereto and which will not be amended in a
manner that is materially adverse to any NRE Employee unless the Company
consents to such change prior to the consummation of an NRE Change of Control)
or the minimum statutory requirement, whichever is greatest; provided that each
termination occurs prior to the Outside Date or within nine (9) months following
the Termination Date.

-4-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a termination of employment be
considered a qualifying termination of employment if such termination either (i)
is in connection with an internalization of the management of the Company, (ii)
is in connection with an NRE Change of Control and, in connection with such NRE
Change of Control, the applicable NRE Employee is offered employment with the
Company or applicable Counterparty or their respective Subsidiaries on
employment terms that, as a whole, are not materially less favorable than the
applicable NRE Employee’s current employment terms or (iii) is for “Cause”, as
defined in a manner consistent with how “Cause” is customarily defined in award
agreements memorializing grants of awards pursuant to the Colony Capital Inc.
2014 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. In addition to the severance amounts
described in the first sentence of this Section 2.3, the Asset Manager or an
Asset Manager Affiliate shall pay to each NRE Employee whose employment is
terminated in any such qualifying termination a pro rata annual bonus determined
by multiplying the quotient of (i) the number of days worked by the NRE Employee
in the year of termination of employment (and the prior year, if bonuses for
such year have not been paid) divided by (ii) 365, multiplied by the 2018 annual
cash bonus target amount for such NRE Employee as set forth on the Compensation
Summary.
(b)    The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
other agreement, including the Reimbursement Agreement, by and between the
Company and the Asset Manager dated June 30, 2017, in connection with the
termination of Mahbod Nia’s (“Nia”) employment with the Asset Manager or an
Asset Manager Affiliate occurring prior to the Outside Date or within nine (9)
months following the Termination Date, (i) if such termination of employment is
in connection with an NRE Change of Control, the Asset Manager Parent or an
Asset Manager Affiliate shall be solely responsible for all cash severance
payments payable to Nia, and (ii) if such termination of employment is in
connection with an internalization of the management of the Company, the Asset
Manager Parent or an Asset Manager Affiliate shall be responsible for 75%, and
the Company shall be responsible for 25%, of all cash severance payments payable
to Nia pursuant to the Employment Agreement. Such payment of cash severance
shall be made by the Asset Manager Parent or an Asset Manager Affiliate and the
Company (if applicable) on the Termination Date concurrently with the Asset
Manager’s receipt of the Termination Payment or earlier.
Section 2.4    Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards
(a)    The Company shall amend the terms of all currently outstanding Company
equity awards held by employees of the Asset Manager and the Asset Manager
Affiliates who are executive officers of the Company or NRE Employees, to
provide for vesting provisions consistent with the terms set forth on Exhibit C
hereto, subject to Section 2.4(d) below.
(b)    The Company shall amend the terms of all currently outstanding Company
equity awards held by employees of the Asset Manager and the Asset Manager
Affiliates who are not executive officers of the Company or an NRE Employee, to
provide that upon an Asset Management Acceleration Event occurring prior to the
Outside Date (i) all then outstanding time-based awards will vest in full and,
(ii) all then outstanding performance

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

based equity awards will vest and settle based on the greater of (x) a
Performance Percentage (as defined in the applicable award agreement relating to
such grant) equal to 100% or (y) if there is an NRE Change of Control the
Performance Percentage determined based on the price at which such NRE Change of
Control occurred. In addition, the Company shall reinstate the Company equity
awards previously granted to Richard B. Saltzman in March 2018 that were
forfeited, with amended terms consistent with the terms set forth above;
provided that the vesting of the reinstated Company equity awards will
accelerate upon the termination of Mr. Saltzman’s service on the Board of
Directors (including by not nominating Mr. Saltzman for re-election to the Board
of Directors of the Company) prior to an Asset Management Acceleration Event,
unless Mr. Saltzman either voluntarily resigns from the Board of Directors or
his service on the Board of Directors terminates (through his resignation or
otherwise) in connection with a conflict of interest, in each case prior to an
Asset Management Acceleration Event, in which case, the reinstated Company
equity awards will immediately be forfeited for no consideration.
(c)    Asset Manager Parent covenants that it has caused to be taken all actions
necessary to approve the amendment of outstanding Asset Manager Parent and CLNC
equity awards, both time-vested and performance-vested, granted to NRE Employees
pursuant to the “Colony 2014 Equity Incentive Plan” or the “CLNC Equity
Incentive Plan”, as applicable, to provide that such equity awards shall vest
(with outstanding performance-based awards vesting at target level) upon (i) an
NRE Change of Control, or (ii) if there is no NRE Change of Control and the
Asset Management Agreement is terminated, (and no other Asset Manager Affiliate
is then serving as the external manager of the Company), other than as a result
of a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Asset
Management Agreement or a termination by the Asset Manager that constitutes a
breach of the Asset Management Agreement; in each case, occurring prior to the
Outside Date; provided that performance based equity awards will be paid at
target, and such acceleration with respect to clause (ii) may be subject to the
effectiveness of a release of claims. The Asset Manager Parent shall cause all
such equity awards to reflect such approved terms.
(d)    The Company may choose to condition the granting of the equity awards set
forth in Sections 2.2(b) and (c) above, and the amendments set forth in Section
2.4(a)and Section 2.4(b) above, with respect to a particular recipient, on the
recipient’s agreement to amend all currently outstanding Company equity awards
held by the recipient to modify all existing acceleration of vesting provisions
to provide that, in the event vesting of such equity awards otherwise would have
accelerated in connection with stockholder approval of a plan of complete
liquidation or dissolution or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company, continued service through the completion of the sale of all debt and
equity interests in any real estate property and all other substantial assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than cash or cash equivalents, will be
required for such acceleration of vesting unless otherwise agreed to by the
Company.
