 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, acknowledgments, representations, and warranties contained herein, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Employee and HFF, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 

1. Term. The term of Employee’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Restated Effective Date and shall end on the date (the
“Termination Date”) that Employee’s employment is terminated by HFF or Employee for any reason, including, but not limited to death, disability, with or without Cause (as defined below), or for no reason. Notwithstanding
the foregoing but subject to Sections 4(e) and 6(d), the provisions contained in Section 4 (Non-







 
Competition), Section 5 (Non-Disclosure), Section 6 (Non-Solicitation of Client), Section 7 (Non-Solicitation of Employees), Section 8 (Non-Disparagement) and Section 9
(Enforcement; Remedies and Forfeitures) shall survive and continue after the term of this Agreement. 
 2. Responsibilities.
Employee’s primary duties and obligations hereunder shall be as directed from time to time by the General Partner of HFF as directed by the board of directors of Publico (the “Board”) after considering the
recommendations and advice of the Operating Committee of Holdco and the managing member of the operating committee of Holdco (the “Holdco Managing Member”). During the period of Employee’s employment, he shall devote his
full business time, energy and best efforts to the business and affairs of HFF. 
 3. Compensation and Benefits. In consideration for
the foregoing and for the covenants described below, HFF agrees to provide to Employee the following compensation and benefits: 
 (a)
Commission and Other Income. Policies and allocations with respect to commission sharing, draws against commissions, bonuses and other income allocation will be established from time to time by the General Partner of HFF as directed by the
Board after consideration of the recommendations and advice of the Holdco Operating Committee and Holdco Managing Member, and Employee shall be paid in accordance with such policies and allocations. 

(b) Benefits. Employee shall be provided with the welfare benefits and other fringe benefits to the same extent and on the same terms
as those benefits are provided by HFF from time to time to HFF’s other similar employees. Employee shall be entitled to elect to participate in any of HFF’s standard benefit plans according to their terms. These plans may be modified or
terminated from time-to-time by HFF in accordance with the terms thereof. The written plan documents shall govern any questions of eligibility, coverage, duration of coverage, or other details of the plans. 

(c) Expense Reimbursement. HFF agrees to reimburse Employee for all reasonable, ordinary, necessary and documented business expenses
incurred in the performance of services hereunder in accordance with the policies of HFF as from time to time in effect. Employee, as a condition precedent to obtaining such payment or reimbursement, shall provide to HFF any and all statements,
bills or receipts evidencing the travel or out-of-pocket expenses for which Employee seeks payment or reimbursement, and any other information or materials, as HFF may from time to time reasonably request. 

(d) No Mitigation. Subject to Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7, in no event shall Employee be obligated to seek other employment or be obligated
to mitigate any of the amounts payable to Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 4. Non-Compete. 

(a) Employee acknowledges that HFF, the General Partner, Holdco, Publico and their affiliates and their related entities (the
“Company Entities”) are engaged in a highly competitive 

  
 2 








 
business on a nationwide basis, and that the Company Entities intend to expand the business by entering into new business lines and by increasing the geographic scope domestically and potentially
internationally, and that the relationships with their Clients (as defined below), goodwill, and Confidential Information (defined below) are extremely valuable, provide them with competitive business advantages and are critical to their success.
Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the Company Entities have expended considerable time, money and effort to build a competitive business which is national in scope and to develop such Client relationships, goodwill and Confidential
Information. Employee further acknowledges that, as an Employee and by virtue of his or her employment with HFF, Employee has had and will have close contact with such Clients, has developed and will develop relationships with such Clients and
goodwill on behalf of the Company Entities, has and will have access to, possesses and will possess and has developed and will develop Confidential Information of and on behalf of the Company Entities. Employee therefore understands and agrees that
both the nature and scope of the covenants contained in this Section 4 as well as the covenants set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of HFF and the other Company Entities, including, without
limitation, its and/or their Client relationships, goodwill and Confidential Information, as defined and limited below. 
 (b) Employee
understands that as an employee of HFF, Employee’s competition with any of the Company Entities would result in irreparable harm to HFF and the other Company Entities. Therefore, until the earlier of (i) five years from the Original
Effective Date, or (ii) the second anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Restrictive Period”), Employee agrees that he or she will not, without the prior written consent of HFF, Compete (as defined below) with HFF or
any of the other Company Entities anywhere in or with respect to the United States where HFF or any of the other Company Entities engages in a Competitive Business (as defined below). 

(c) As used herein, except as modified below, “Compete” means to directly or indirectly own, operate, manage, control,
engage in, participate in, invest in, permit his or her name to be used by, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any individual or entity, and the heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assign of such individual or entity (a “Person”), or otherwise assist any Person that engages in or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise which, directly or
indirectly, wholly or partly, engages in the business that provides services or performs functions that are the same as, substantially similar to, or substitute for the services or functions provided or performed by HFF and/or the other Company
Entities, or in any new lines of business considered by (meaning that a comprehensive business plan and budget were prepared by or for HFF for consideration) and not rejected by any of the Company Entities at any time during the six (6) month
period preceding the Termination Date, in each case whether domestically or in such international markets as considered by any of the Company Entities during such six (6) month period (the “Competitive Business”).
“Compete” shall also mean to directly or indirectly engage in any activity or perform, develop, provide or offer any services, functions or duties (in any capacity for the benefit of Employee or any other Person) which
involves or requires, or which would inevitably involve or require, the use or disclosure (partly or wholly, intentionally or unintentionally) of any Confidential Information (as defined and 

  
 3 








 
limited below) of HFF or the Company Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will not be deemed to “Compete”: 

(i) Solely by reason of the performance of his duties as a full time employee or part time employee of a commercial bank, savings and loan,
savings bank, insurance company, pension fund, investment bank or any other entity (including any Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) entities) making or acquiring commercial real estate loans or acquiring commercial real estate if,
(A) Employee’s duties for such entity are limited to the origination or acquisition of commercial real estate loans or commercial real estate for such entity or (B) such entity originates such loans or acquires such loans or real
estate with the intent of holding the loans or real estate for its own account, or in respect of loans, selling the loans in its capacity as a principal. 

(ii) If Employee shall either (A) be a principal in a business engaged in real estate development, real estate securities or in the
ownership of commercial real estate, or (B) work as a full time or part time employee of a company or other entity engaged in real estate development, investment in real estate securities or the ownership of commercial real estate or real
estate securities, even though in the course of Employee’s employment, Employee acquires loans, securities and/or real estate (it being understood and agreed that in this capacity, Employee shall be permitted to secure a loan or acquire
commercial real estate from, or sell commercial real estate to HFF’s lending relationships without violating the restrictions set forth herein). 

(iii) Solely by reason of Employee’s passive ownership of any stock, bond, note, debenture, mortgage or other security issued by any
other entity if such securities are actively traded on a stock exchange or on NASDAQ and such securities constitute less than three percent (3%) of the total voting securities issued by such entity; 

(iv) Solely by reason of Employee’s passive ownership of any stock, bond, note, debenture, mortgage or other security that is owned by
Employee as of the date hereof; 
 (v) Solely by reason of activities undertaken during his employment by HFF which are on behalf of, and
for the benefit of, HFF or any of the Company Entities notwithstanding that such activities may involve engaging in transactions with or for entities that would otherwise “Compete” as defined above; or 

(vi) Solely by reason of Employee becoming employed by, or becoming a principal in, any entity involved in residential home sales brokerage
and mortgage banking, provided that none of the Company Entities are engaged in such activities as of the Termination Date or considered (meaning that a comprehensive business plan and budget were prepared for consideration) and did not reject
engaging in such activities at any time during the six (6) month period preceding the Termination Date. 
 (d) Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent Employee from owning less than 1% of the publicly traded stock of any Person that Competes with HFF or any of the Company Entities; provided that Employee shall have no special voting rights, board representation or other
oversight or information rights with respect to such Person (except as generally available to all stockholders of such Person).

terminated by HFF without Cause. “Cause” shall mean: (i) gross misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder; (ii) conviction of a crime; (iii) significant nonperformance
or misperformance of Employee’s duties hereunder; (iv) material violation of policies and procedures established by HFF (including, without limitation, material violations of policies concerning disclosure of confidential information,
sexual harassment, and travel and entertainment reimbursement); and (v) material violation of the covenants of this Agreement. Cause shall be determined by the Board after consideration of the recommendations and advice of the Holdco Operating
Committee and Holdco Managing Member; provided, however, that if Cause is being determined with respect to any member of the Holdco Operating Committee or Holdco Managing Member, then such member or Holdco Managing Member shall not participate in
such determination. 
 5. Non-Disclosure. 

(a) Employee acknowledges that, by reason of his or her employment with HFF, Employee has been and will be given access to, has developed and
will develop, and has and will become informed of, confidential or proprietary information (whether or not in writing, and whether or not developed by Employee) concerning HFF’s and other Company Entities’ prior, current or contemplated
businesses, products, services, plans and strategies, business relationships, employees, Clients, prospects and financial affairs, which is not generally known to the public or in the trade, is a competitive asset, constitutes trade secrets (as

Entities, the nature, extent and particulars of such business dealings, and such other information provided to HFF or other Company Entities by its Clients under 

  
 5 








 
obligations of confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Confidential Information” shall not include (i) information that is or hereafter
becomes generally available to the public (other than by reason of violation of this Agreement), (ii) the general skills and experience gained during Employee’s work with HFF or Company Entities which Employee could reasonably have been
expected to acquire in similar work with another company, or (iii) contact information, lists (including but not limited to internal mailing lists) and other similar materials related to customers, clients, suppliers, or prospects that either
(A) Employee acquired prior to employment by HFF or (B) Employee acquired or developed as a result of Employee’s own business generation efforts. 

(b) Employee shall at all times during and after his or her employment hold all such Confidential Information in trust and confidence for HFF

disclosure due to any action or inaction of Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, materials related to matters and information that was acquired or developed prior to commencing employment with HFF shall not be Company Materials

uncertain whether any given material or information is, constitutes or contains Confidential Information, Employee agrees to consult the General Partner for resolution.

(a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that his or her breach of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Company

terms. Accordingly, Employee acknowledges, consents and agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company Entities may have at law, in equity or under any agreement, the Company Entities, without proof of actual damage, will
be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary or permanent injunction or order restraining any threatened or further breach.

intended to be severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is overbroad, unreasonable, invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy, then, (i) if
such term, provision, covenant or restriction is found to be overbroad, unreasonable, invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy because of the duration, scope of activities restricted, or geographic scope set forth in this Agreement, or
for any other reason, the parties hereto agree that the duration, scope of activities restricted, or geographical scope, as the case may be, or any other provision hereof, shall be reduced, reformed or modified (and enforced as so reduced, reformed
or modified) so that such term, provision, covenant and restriction is enforceable and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

party pursuant to this Agreement shall 

  
 8 








 
lie exclusively in any federal or state court located in the city, state and county of New York. By execution and delivery of this agreement, each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts for itself and in respect of its property with respect to such action. The parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in such court, and hereby waive any objection that such court is an improper or inconvenient
forum for the resolution of such action. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against
them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court. 
 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
