INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made and entered into as of the February 4, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between New York REIT,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Wendy Silverstein (the “Indemnitee”).


 


WHEREAS, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee
currently serves or has previously served as a director, officer or service provider of the Company and may, therefore, be subjected
to claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result of his or her service; and


 


WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to indemnify
and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum
extent permitted by law; and


 


WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire
to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change
in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of
all of the Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors without the prior
approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)
in office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of
the Board of Directors then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior

of the members of the Board of Directors are not individuals (A) who were directors as of the Effective Date or (B) whose election
by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the affirmative vote of

corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such
person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. As a clarification and without limiting the circumstances
in which Indemnitee may be serving at the request of the Company, service by Indemnitee shall be deemed to be at the request of
the Company if Indemnitee serves or served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee
or agent of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise

to be a witness in or otherwise participating in a Proceeding. Expenses shall also include Expenses incurred in connection with

cost bond, supersedeas bond or other appeal bond or its equivalent.


 


(h)          “Independent

is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either
such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnitees under similar
indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for
indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall
not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest
in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

officer or service provider of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or
the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between
the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee.

Section
3.             General. The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a)
as provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect on the Effective Date
and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits
available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date. The rights of Indemnitee provided in
this Section 3 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional
indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”).


 


Section
4.             Standard for Indemnification. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status,
Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with any such Proceeding unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material
to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of
any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.


 


Section
5.             Certain Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement (other than Section 6), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to:


 


(a)          indemnification
hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the Company;


 


(b)          indemnification
hereunder if Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any Proceeding charging
improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or


 


(c)          indemnification
or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce
indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement,
or (ii) the Charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the
Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.


 


Section
6.             Court-Ordered Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification
of Indemnitee by the Company in the following circumstances:


 


(a)          if
such court determines that Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order
indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the Expenses of securing such reimbursement; or


 


(b)          if
such court determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances,
whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged
liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such indemnification
as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company or in
which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL shall be limited to Expenses.


 






    	 	 3	 



     


    

 


Section
7.             Indemnification for Expenses of an Indemnitee Who Is Wholly or Partially Successful.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee was
or is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding
and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified for all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues
or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable
and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 7 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in
such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or
matter.


 


Section
8.             Advance of Expenses for Indemnitee. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall, without requiring a preliminary
determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance all reasonable Expenses incurred
by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.
Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or
accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary
for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf
of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable
law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee relating
to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established that the standard of conduct has
not been met by Indemnitee and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 7 of this Agreement. To the extent
that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall
be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general
obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay
such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.


 


Section
9.             Indemnification and Advance of Expenses as a Witness or Other Participant. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status,
made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding, whether instituted by the Company or any other party, and to
which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced all reasonable Expenses and indemnified against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith within ten days after the receipt
by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification from time to time, whether prior to
or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee.

Section
10.           Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.


 


(a)          To
obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and
to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and
at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. The officer of the Company receiving any
such request from Indemnitee shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors
in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.


 


(b)          Upon
written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) above, a determination, if required by applicable law,
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control
shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered
to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance
with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall
not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or, if such
a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely
of one or more Disinterested Directors, (B) if Independent Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with
Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL and approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, by Independent
Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed
by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined that Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall
cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B)
of this Section 10(b). Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination
shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the
Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


(c)          The
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is appointed.


 


Section
11.           Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.


 


(a)          In
making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request
for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome
that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption.


 


(b)          The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption
that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.


 






    	 	 5	 



     


    

 


(c)          The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director,
trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to
Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this Agreement.


 


Section
12.           Remedies of Indemnitee.


 


(a)          If
(i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination
of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt
by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 7 or 9 of this
Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant
to any other section of this Agreement or the Charter or Bylaws is not made within ten days after a determination has been made
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located
in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification
or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted
by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence
a proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has
the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply
to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as set forth
herein, the provisions of Maryland law (without regard to its conflicts of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The
Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.


 


(b)          In
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification
or advance of Expenses, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or
arbitration pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to
Section 8 of this Agreement until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
(as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed). The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law,
be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures
and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(c)          If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12,
absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.


 


(d)          In
the event that Indemnitee is successful in seeking, pursuant to this Section 12, a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration
to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee
is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.


 






    	 	 6	 



     


    

 


(e)          Interest
shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the maximum rate allowed to be charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial
Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay for the period
(i) commencing with either the tenth day after the date on which the Company was requested to advance Expenses in accordance
with Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement or the 60th day after the date on which the Company was requested to make the
determination of entitlement to indemnification under Section 10(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) ending on the date
such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.


 


Section
13.           Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.


 


(a)          Indemnitee
shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request
or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder
and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding.
The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right
of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend
in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only
to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.


 


(b)          Subject
to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13(b) and of Section 13(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend
Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify
Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section
13(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes
an admission of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from
all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee
or (iii) would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 13(b) shall not apply to a
Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 12 of this Agreement.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 13(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, that Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which
may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of
counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest
or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense
of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s
choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the
Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the
Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny
or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to
retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 12(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee in connection with
any such matter.

Section
14.           Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation.


 


(a)          The
rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter or Bylaws, any agreement or a resolution of the
stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. Unless consented
to in writing by Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict
any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate
Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such action or inaction is
raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every other right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.


 


(b)          In
the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including
execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.


 


Section
15.           Insurance. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire directors
and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, with the advice of counsel,
covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee by reason of his or her Corporate Status and covering the Company for
any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims made against Indemnitee by reason of
his or her Corporate Status. Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess
of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding
over the coverage of any insurance referred to in the previous sentence. The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such
insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except
as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any
way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company under any such insurance policies. If, at the time the Company receives
notice from any source of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) the Company
has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.


 


Section
16.           Coordination of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement
to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that
Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.


 






    	 	 8	 



     


    

 


Section
17.           Reports to Stockholders. To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall
report in writing to its stockholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee
under this Agreement arising out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of stockholders
of the Company next following the date of the payment of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting.


 


Section
18.           Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect.


 


(a)          This
Agreement shall continue until and terminate on the later of (i) the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee
or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of
the Company and (ii) the date that Indemnitee is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of
appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement).


 


(b)          The
indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of
the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and
administrators and other legal representatives.


 


(c)          The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all,
substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.


 


(d)          The
Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable
and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto
agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity
of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall
not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. Indemnitee shall further be entitled
to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertakings in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that,
in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court, and the Company hereby waives any such
requirement of such a bond or undertaking.

EXHIBIT A


 


AFFIRMATION AND UNDERTAKING
TO REPAY EXPENSES ADVANCED


 


To: The Board of Directors of New York REIT, Inc.


 


Re: Affirmation and Undertaking


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This Affirmation and Undertaking is being provided
pursuant to that certain Indemnification Agreement dated February 4, 2017 by and between New York REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”), and the undersigned Indemnitee (the “Indemnification Agreement”), pursuant to which
I am entitled to advance of Expenses in connection with [Description of Proceeding] (the “Proceeding”).


 


Terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings specified in the Indemnification Agreement.


 


I am subject to the Proceeding by reason of
my Corporate Status or by reason of alleged actions or omissions by me in such capacity. I hereby affirm my good faith belief that
at all times, insofar as I was involved as [a director] [an officer] [and] [service provider] of the Company, in any of
the facts or events giving rise to the Proceeding, I (1) did not act with bad faith or active or deliberate dishonesty, (2) did
not receive any improper personal benefit in money, property or services and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that any act or omission by me was unlawful.


 


In consideration of the advance of Expenses
by the Company for reasonable attorneys’ fees and related Expenses incurred by me in connection with the Proceeding (the
“Advanced Expenses”), I hereby agree that if, in connection with the Proceeding, it is established that (1)
an act or omission by me was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) I actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, I had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, then I
shall promptly reimburse the portion of the Advanced Expenses relating to the claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to
which the foregoing findings have been established.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Affirmation
and Undertaking on this __ day of _________________, 20__.
