 Exhibit 10.2 
 GLADSTONE COMMERCIAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
 SCHEDULE 4.2(a)(4) TO FIRST
AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 

DESIGNATION OF 7.125% SERIES C CUMULATIVE TERM PREFERRED UNITS 

1. Designation and Number. A series of term preferred units, designated the “7.125% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred
Units” (the “Series C Term Preferred Units”) is hereby established. The number of Series C Term Preferred Units authorized for issuance shall be 1,700,000. 

Rank. The Series C Term Preferred Units, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Partnership, will rank (i) senior to all classes or series of senior common units and common units of the Partnership (collectively, the “Common Units”) and to all other Partnership Interests issued by the
Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that such Partnership Interests rank junior to the Series C Term Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership;
(ii) on a parity with all Partnership Interests issued by the Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that such Partnership Interests rank on a parity with the Series C Term Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights and
rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, each of the 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and 7.50% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Partnership
(collectively, the “Parity Preferred Units”); and (iii) junior to all Partnership Interests issued by the Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that such Partnership Interests rank senior to the Series C Term
Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership and to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership. 

3. Distributions. 
 (a) Holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the General Partner, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, preferential
cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 7.125% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per Series C Term Preferred Unit (equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $1.7813 per Series C Term Preferred Unit). Distributions on the Series C
Term Preferred Units shall be cumulative from (but excluding) the date of original issue and shall be payable monthly in arrears on or before the last Business Day (as defined below) of each month (each, a “Distribution Payment
Date”). The first distribution will be payable on February 29, 2012 and monthly thereafter on the last day of the month, or, if not a Business Day (as defined below), on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Distribution
Payment Date”). The first distribution, which will be payable on February 29, 2012, will be for more than a full month. Such distribution and any distribution payable on the Series C Term Preferred Units for any partial distribution
period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Distributions will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the ownership records of the Partnership at the close of business on the applicable
record date, which shall be the date designated by the General Partner of the Partnership that is not more than 20 nor less than 7 days prior to such Distribution Payment Date (each, a “Distribution Record Date”). 







 The term “Business Day” shall mean any calendar day on which the New York Stock Exchange is
open for trading. 
 (b) No distributions on Series C Term Preferred Units shall be declared by the General Partner or paid or
set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides
that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment of such distributions would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series C Term Preferred Units will accumulate whether or not the Partnership has
earnings, whether or not restrictions exist in respect thereof, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are declared. Accumulated but unpaid distributions on the
Series C Term Preferred Units will not bear interest, and holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units will not be entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions described above. When distributions are not paid in full (or
a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series C Term Preferred Units and the Partnership Interests of any Parity Preferred Units, all distributions declared upon the Series C Term Preferred Units and any Parity
Preferred Units shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Series C Term Preferred Unit and such Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per unit on
the Series C Term Preferred Units and such Parity Preferred Units (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Units do not have a cumulative distribution) bear to
each other. 
 (d) Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative distributions on the Series
C Term Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past distribution periods, no distributions (other than a distribution in Common
Units or other Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series C Term Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation) shall be declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared and made
upon the Common Units or any other Partnership Interests in the Partnership ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Term Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation, nor shall any Common Units or any other Partnership
Interests in the Partnership ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Term Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Partnership Interests) by the Partnership. Holders of Series C Term Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or securities, in excess of
full cumulative distributions on the Series C Term Preferred Units as provided above. Any distribution payment made on the Series C Term Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid distribution due with
respect to such Series C Term Preferred Units which remains payable. 

  
 2 








 4. Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, the holders of Series C Term Preferred Units are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Partnership legally available for distribution to its partners a liquidation preference of $25
per Series C Term Preferred Unit, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid distributions to and including the date of payment, but without interest, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Units or any other class or
series of Partnership Interests in the Partnership that ranks junior to the Series C Term Preferred Units as to liquidation rights. If the assets of the Partnership legally available for distribution to holders of Partnership Interests are
insufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference on the Series C Term Preferred Units and the liquidation preference on any Parity Preferred Units, all assets distributed to the holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units and any Parity
Preferred Units shall be distributed pro rata so that the amount of assets distributed per Series C Term Preferred Unit and such Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the liquidation preference per Series C
Term Preferred Unit and such Parity Preferred Units bear to each other. The Partnership will promptly provide to the holders of Series C Term Preferred Units written notice of any event triggering the right to receive such liquidation preference.
After payment of the full amount of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Term Preferred Units will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
Partnership. The consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into any other partnership, corporation, trust or entity or of any other partnership or corporation with or into the Partnership, or a sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the Partnership’s property or business shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

(iv) The Partnership will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the redemption of the Series C Term Preferred Units as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Redemption provisions of the Series C Term Preferred Units, the Partnership will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the
Partnership’s obligations under the Change of Control Redemption provisions of the Series C Term Preferred Units by virtue of any such conflict. 
 (e) Procedures for Redemption. 
 (i) If the Partnership shall
determine or be required to redeem, in whole or in part, Series C Term Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5(b) or (c), the Partnership shall deliver a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”), by overnight delivery,
by first class mail, postage prepaid or by Electronic Means to holders thereof, or request the Redemption and Paying Agent, on behalf of the Partnership, to promptly do so by overnight delivery, by first class mail, postage prepaid or by Electronic
Means. A Notice of Redemption shall be provided not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in such Notice of Redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Each such Notice of Redemption shall state:
(A) the Redemption Date; (B) the number of Series C Term Preferred Units to be redeemed; (C) the applicable Redemption Price on a per unit basis; (D) if applicable, the place or places where the certificate(s) for such
units (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the General Partner requires and the Notice of Redemption states) are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (E) that distributions on the Series C Term Preferred Units
to be 

  
 8 








 
redeemed will cease to accumulate from and after such Redemption Date; and (F) the provisions hereof under which such redemption is made. If fewer than all Series C Term Preferred Units
held by any holder are to be redeemed, the Notice of Redemption delivered to such holder shall also specify the number of Series C Term Preferred Units to be redeemed from such holder or the method of determining such number. The Partnership may
provide in any Notice of Redemption relating to a redemption contemplated to be effected pursuant hereto that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent and that the Partnership shall not be required to effect such redemption
unless each such condition has been satisfied at the time or times and in the manner specified in such Notice of Redemption. No defect in the Notice of Redemption or delivery thereof shall affect the validity of redemption proceedings, except as
required by applicable law. 
 (ii) If the Partnership shall give a Notice of Redemption, then at any time from and after the
giving of such Notice of Redemption and prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date (so long as any conditions precedent to such redemption have been met or waived by the Partnership), the Partnership shall (A) deposit with
the Redemption and Paying Agent Deposit Securities having an aggregate Market Value on the date thereof no less than the Redemption Price of the Series C Term Preferred Units to be redeemed on the Redemption Date and (B) give the Redemption and
Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Redemption Price to the holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units called for redemption on the Redemption Date. The Partnership may direct the Redemption and Paying Agent
with respect to the investment of any Deposit Securities consisting of cash so deposited prior to the Redemption Date, provided that the proceeds of any such investment shall be available at the opening of business on the Redemption Date as same day
funds. 
 (iii) Upon the date of the deposit of such Deposit Securities, all rights of the holders of the Series C Term
Preferred Units so called for redemption shall cease and terminate except the right of the holders thereof to receive the Redemption Price thereof and such Series C Term Preferred Units shall no longer be deemed outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever (other than (A) the transfer thereof prior to the applicable Redemption Date and (B) the accumulation of distributions thereon in accordance with the terms hereof up to (but excluding) the applicable Redemption Date, which
accumulated distributions, unless previously or contemporaneously declared and paid as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(d)(vi) below, shall be payable only as part of the applicable Redemption Price on the Redemption Date). The
Partnership shall be entitled to receive, promptly after the Redemption Date, any Deposit Securities in excess of the aggregate Redemption Price of the Series C Term Preferred Units called for redemption on the Redemption Date. Any Deposit
Securities so deposited that are unclaimed at the end of 90 calendar days from the Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid to the Partnership, after which the holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units so called for
redemption shall look only to the Partnership for payment of the Redemption Price thereof. The Partnership shall be entitled to receive, from time to time after the Redemption Date, any interest on the Deposit Securities so deposited. 

(iv) On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of Series C Term Preferred Units in certificated form (if any) that are subject to
redemption shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such Series C Term Preferred Units to the Partnership at the place 

  
 9 








 
designated in the Notice of Redemption and shall then be entitled to receive the Redemption Price for such Series C Term Preferred Units, without interest, and in the case of a redemption of
fewer than all the Series C Term Preferred Units represented by such certificate(s), a new certificate representing the Series C Term Preferred Units that were not redeemed. 
 (v) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5, except as otherwise required by law, the Partnership shall not redeem any Series C Term Preferred Units unless all accumulated and unpaid
distributions on all outstanding Series C Term Preferred Units and any Parity Preferred Units for all applicable past distribution periods (whether or not earned or declared by the Partnership) (x) shall have been or are contemporaneously paid
or (y) shall have been or are contemporaneously declared and Deposit Securities or sufficient funds (in accordance with the terms of such Parity Preferred Units) for the payment of such distributions shall have been or are contemporaneously
deposited with the Redemption and Paying Agent or other applicable paying agent for such Parity Preferred Units in accordance with the terms of such Parity Preferred Units, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the
purchase or acquisition of outstanding Series C Term Preferred Units pursuant to an otherwise lawful purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series C Term Preferred Units and any other Parity Preferred Units
for which all accumulated and unpaid distributions have not been paid. 
 (vi) To the extent that any redemption for which
Notice of Redemption has been provided is not made by reason of the absence of legally available funds therefor in accordance herewith and applicable law, such redemption shall be made as soon as practicable to the extent such funds become
available. No Redemption Default shall be deemed to have occurred if the Partnership shall fail to deposit in trust with the Redemption and Paying Agent the Redemption Price with respect to any units where (1) the Notice of Redemption relating
to such redemption provided that such redemption was subject to one or more conditions precedent and (2) any such condition precedent shall not have been satisfied at the time or times and in the manner specified in such Notice of Redemption.
Notwithstanding the fact that a Notice of Redemption has been provided with respect to any Series C Term Preferred Units, distributions may be declared and paid on such Series C Term Preferred Units in accordance with their terms if Deposit
Securities for the payment of the Redemption Price of such Series C Term Preferred Units shall not have been deposited in trust with the Redemption and Paying Agent for that purpose. 

(f) Redemption and Paying Agent as Trustee of Redemption Payments by Partnership. All Deposit Securities
transferred to the Redemption and Paying Agent for payment of the Redemption Price of Series C Term Preferred Units called for redemption shall be held in trust by the Redemption and Paying Agent for the benefit of holders of Series C Term
Preferred Units so to be redeemed until paid to such holders in accordance with the terms hereof or returned to the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(d)(iii) above. 

(g) Compliance With Applicable Law. In effecting any redemption pursuant to this Section 5, the Partnership shall
use its best efforts to comply with all applicable conditions precedent to effecting such redemption under any applicable Maryland law, but shall effect no redemption except in accordance with any applicable Maryland law. 

  
 10 









 (h) Modification of Redemption Procedures. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, modify the procedures set forth above with respect to notification of redemption for the Series C Term Preferred Units; provided that such modification
does not materially and adversely affect the holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units or cause the Partnership to violate any applicable law, rule or regulation; and provided, further, that no such modification shall in any way
alter the rights or obligations of the Redemption and Paying Agent without its prior consent. 
 6. Voting Rights.
Holders of the Series C Term Preferred Units will not have any voting rights. 
 7. Conversion. The Series C Term
Preferred Units are not redeemable for, convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Partnership. 
 8. Term. The Series C Term Preferred Units will not be subject to any sinking fund but must be redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof set apart for payment on January 31, 2017. 
 9. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series C Term
Preferred Units shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for additional Partnership Interests in the Partnership or any other security of the Partnership which it may issue or sell. 

10. Status of Redeemed or Repurchased Series C Term Preferred Units. Series C Term Preferred Units that at any time have
been redeemed or purchased by the Partnership shall, after such redemption or purchase, have the status of authorized but unissued units. 
 11. Notice. All notices or communications hereunder, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered in person, by telecopier, by Electronic Means
or by overnight mail or delivery or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Notices delivered pursuant to this Section 11 shall be deemed given on the date received or, if mailed by first class mail, on the date five calendar days after
which such notice is mailed.
