WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are presently party to that certain Employment Agreement, dated November 11, 2019 (the
“Prior Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement as of the Effective Date, as set forth herein, for the purpose of adding the REIT Operator as a party to this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	 Term of Employment.  



(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, REIT Operator hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment with REIT Operator, in the positions and with the duties and responsibilities as set forth in Section 2 hereof for the Term of Employment (as defined

commence on the date of the Closing (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger between the REIT, the Operating Company, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC, a New York limited liability company, and the other parties thereto, dated as of
November 11, 2019) (the “Effective Date”) and continue through the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing (the “Term” or “Term of
Employment”), unless the Agreement is terminated sooner in accordance with Section 4 hereof. If the Closing does not occur, this Agreement will automatically terminate and be of no force or effect. 

 

	 	2.	 Position; Duties and Responsibilities.  



(a)            During the Term of Employment, Executive will be
employed by the REIT Operator and will serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the REIT. In this capacity, Executive shall have the duties, authorities and
responsibilities as are required by Executive’s position commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized companies, and such other duties, authorities and responsibilities as
may reasonably be assigned to Executive as the Chief Executive Officer of the REIT shall designate from time to time that are not inconsistent with Executive’s position and that are consistent with the bylaws of the REIT, the limited liability
company agreement of the Operating Company, and the limited liability company agreement of REIT Operator, each as may be amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, managing the affairs of the Company. 

(b)            During the Term of Employment, Executive will,
without additional compensation, also serve on the board of directors of, serve as an officer of, and/or perform such executive 












 
and consulting services for, or on behalf of, such subsidiaries of the REIT as the Chief Executive Officer of the REIT may, from time to time, request. 

(c)            During the Term of Employment, Executive will
serve the Company faithfully, diligently, and to the best of Executive’s ability and will devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, and shall have no other
employment (unless approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the REIT); provided, that, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Executive from (i) participating in trade associations or industry organizations in furtherance of the
Company’s interests, (ii) engaging in charitable, civic, educational or political activities, (iii) engaging in passive personal investment activities for Executive and Executive’s family or (iv) accepting directorships or
similar positions, subject to approval in advance by the Board of Directors of the REIT (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (together, the “Personal
Activities”), in each case so long as the Personal Activities do not unreasonably interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of Executive’s duties to the Company under this Agreement or violate the restrictive
covenants set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. 

(d)            During the Term of Employment, Executive shall
perform the services required by this Agreement at the Company’s principal offices located in Rochester, New York (the “Principal Location”), except for travel to other locations as may be necessary to fulfill Executive’s
duties and responsibilities hereunder. 
  

	 	3.	 Compensation and Benefits.  



(a)            Base Salary. During the Term of Employment,
Executive will be entitled to receive an annualized base salary (the “Base Salary”) of not less than $375,000. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with REIT Operator’s normal payroll practices, but no less often than
semi-monthly. The Base Salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board (or a committee of directors to whom such responsibility has been delegated by the Board) for possible increase, but not decrease (except pursuant to across-the-board salary reductions affecting other senior-level executives of the REIT). 

(b)            Incentive Compensation. In addition to the
Base Salary, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive programs (including without limitation equity compensation plans) established by the Company, including for its senior level executives. However,
during the Term of Employment, and subject to subsection (e) below, such arrangements will include: 

(i)            Annual Performance Bonus. In each calendar
year of the Term of Employment, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) payable in cash, pursuant to the performance criteria and targets established and administered by the Board (or a
committee of directors to whom such responsibility has been delegated by the Board). Commencing with calendar year 2020, Executive’s target Annual Bonus shall be at least one hundred percent (100)% of Executive’s Base Salary
(“Target Bonus”). The Annual Bonus payable to Executive each year shall be determined and payable as soon as practicable after year-end for such year (but no later than March 15th). To be entitled to receive any Annual Bonus, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(a), (b) and 4(d) hereof, Executive must remain employed through the last day of the calendar year to which
the Annual Bonus relates. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Annual Bonus” excludes any special transaction or retention bonuses that Executive has received, or may receive, from time to time, from the Company or any predecessor
employer. 
 (ii)            Long-Term Equity
Incentives. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible for stock-based awards under the Company’s long-term incentive plan, as determined by the Board (or a committee of directors to whom such responsibility has been delegated by the
Board) in its sole 

  
 2 













 
discretion. Nothing herein requires the Board (or any committee thereof) to make grants of stock-based awards in any year. Without limiting the foregoing, the target grant date fair value of
Executive’s annual long-term incentive award with respect to calendar year 2020 shall be $700,000 (“Target LTIP Value”). Forty percent (40%) of the Target LTIP Value shall be allocated to a stock-based award having time-based
vesting criteria (the “2020 Time-Based Award”) and sixty percent (60%) of the Target LTIP Value shall be allocated to a stock-based award having performance-based vesting criteria (the “2020 Performance-Based Award”). The 2020
Time-Based Award and the 2020 Performance-Based Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions, including specific vesting periods, set forth in the award certificate memorializing such awards, as determined by the Board (or a committee of
directors to whom such responsibility has been delegated by the Board) in its sole discretion. 

(c)            Employee Benefit Programs and Fringe
Benefits. During the Term of Employment, Executive will be eligible to participate in all executive incentive and employee benefit programs of the Company made available to the Company’s senior level executives generally, as such programs
may be in effect from time to time; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from amending or terminating any such programs pursuant to the terms thereof; provided, that, such amendment or termination shall not discriminate against
Executive. The REIT Operator will reimburse Executive for any and all necessary, customary and usual business expenses incurred and paid by Executive in connection with Executive’s employment upon presentation to the Company of reasonable
substantiation and documentation, and in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, applicable Company policies. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation and, if applicable paid time off, per year of the Term
(as prorated for any stub employment period) in accordance with the Company’s policy on accrual and use applicable to employees as in effect from time to time, but in no event shall Executive accrue less than five (5) weeks of vacation per
calendar year (pro-rated for any stub employment period).  

(d)            Insurance; Indemnification. Executive shall
be covered by such comprehensive directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and errors and omissions liability insurance as the Company and any subsidiaries on which Executive may serve as a director shall have established and maintained
in respect of its directors and officers generally and at its expense. The Company shall indemnify Executive for liabilities incurred by Executive while acting in good faith in his capacity as a director or an officer to the fullest extent provided
for any other officer or director of the Company. 

(e)            Clawback/Recoupment. Notwithstanding any
other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any compensation provided to, or gain realized by, Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall be subject to repayment and/or forfeiture by
Executive to the Company if and to the extent any such compensation or gain (i) is or becomes subject to the “clawback” policy adopted by the REIT and in effect as of the date hereof that is applicable to Executive and other similarly
situated executives, or (ii) is, or in the future, becomes subject to, any law, rule, requirement or regulation which imposes mandatory recoupment or forfeiture, under circumstances set forth in such law, rule, requirement or regulation. 

 

	 	4.	 Termination of Employment.  



(a)            Termination Due to Disability. The Company
may cause the REIT Operator to terminate Executive’s employment, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if Executive (i) is unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s job, with or without reasonable accommodation, by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, actually receiving income 


  
 3 













 
replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the REIT Operator (“Disability”). If Executive’s
employment is terminated under this Section 4(a) for Disability, then the REIT Operator shall pay or provide Executive the following: 

(i)            the Accrued Benefits (as defined
in Section 4(i) hereof); 

(ii)            Executive’s outstanding equity awards that
are subject solely to time-based vesting conditions shall become fully vested as of Executive’s date of termination (the “Vesting Acceleration for Time-Based Equity Awards”); 

(iii)            the REIT Operator shall pay Executive a cash
amount equal to the product of (x) Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the year in which the effective date of Executive’s termination occurs, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year
preceding the effective of Executive’s termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Prorated Final Year Target Bonus”). Subject to Section 24, the Prorated Final Year Target Bonus shall be paid in a single lump
sum with the first payroll date to occur after the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of Executive’s termination; and 

(iv)            if Executive timely and properly elects to
continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits to which Executive or Executive’s eligible dependents would be entitled under COBRA, then the REIT Operator shall pay Executive a monthly cash
payment equal to the excess of (x) the COBRA cost of coverage for each month during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period (as defined in Section 4(i) hereof) over (y) the amount that Executive would have had to pay for such coverage
if Executive had remained employed by the REIT Operator during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period and paid the active employee rate for such coverage, less withholding for taxes and other similar items (the “Benefits Payments”),
paid in accordance with the normal payroll practice of the REIT Operator during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period beginning within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Executive’s termination (with the first payment to
include any payments that would have been made during such sixty (60) day period if payments had commenced on the effective date of Executive’s termination). 

Otherwise, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to Executive. For the avoidance of doubt,
Executive’s outstanding equity awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. 

(b)            Termination Due to Death. Executive’s
employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death during the Term of Employment. If Executive’s employment is terminated because of Executive’s death, then Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator
or designated beneficiary, as applicable, the REIT Operator shall pay or provide Executive the following: 

(i)            the Accrued Benefits; 

(ii)            the Vesting Acceleration for
Time-Based Equity Awards; 

(iii)            the Prorated Final Year Target
Bonus; and 
 (iv)            if
Executive’s eligible dependents timely and properly elect to continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits pursuant to COBRA, then such dependents shall be entitled to receive the Benefits
Payments (collectively or on a pro rata basis) during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period, less withholding for taxes and other similar items, paid in accordance with the normal payroll practice of the REIT Operator during the Applicable


  
 4 













 
Benefits Payment Period beginning within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Executive’s termination (with the first payment to include any payments that would have been
made during such sixty (60) day period if payments had commenced on the effective date of Executive’s termination). 
 Otherwise,
the Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to Executive’s executors, legal representatives, administrators, heirs or assigns or any other person claiming under or through Executive. For the avoidance of
doubt, Executive’s outstanding equity awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. 

(c)            Expiration of Agreement. If following the
expiration of the Term, the Company causes the REIT Operator to terminate Executive’s employment for any reason or Executive resigns from Executive’s employment for any reason, then no further payments or benefits shall be due under this
Agreement and all then unvested awards or benefits shall be forfeited, except that the REIT Operator shall pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Benefits. Otherwise, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to
Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company elects not to renew this Agreement and the Company and Executive do not enter into a new agreement that supersedes this Agreement, then, following the expiration of the Term,
(i) Executive shall be covered by a severance plan or policy providing (X) severance terms that are no less favorable than those provided in Section 4(d)(ii)(1), (2) and (4) hereof (the “Similar Severance
Benefits”), and (Y) that Executive’s outstanding equity awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting conditions shall vest as to that portion of the award that would have become vested on the next vesting date following
the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment by the REIT Operator other than for Cause or Disability, or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason (as such terms are defined herein), with the remaining unvested portion of such
time-based equity awards treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement, or, if more beneficial to Executive, the vesting benefit provided under any such severance plan or policy (together with the Similar Severance Benefits,
the “Non-Renewal Severance Benefits”); or (ii) if the REIT Operator fails to implement such a plan or policy and the Company causes the REIT Operator to terminate Executive’s
employment other than for Cause or Disability, or Executive resigns for Good Reason (as such terms are defined herein), then, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term and subject to the Release Requirement (as defined in Section 4(d)(ii)
hereof) and continued compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 6 hereof, the REIT Operator shall pay or provide Executive with the Non-Renewal Severance Benefits. For the avoidance of doubt,
if Executive elects not to renew this Agreement, then the preceding sentence shall not apply. 

(d)            Termination by the Company Without Cause or by
Executive for Good Reason. The Company may cause the REIT Operator to terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 4(i) hereof), and Executive may terminate Executive’s employment
by resigning for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4(i) hereof) upon not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the REIT. Upon any such termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or for
Good Reason (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), the REIT Operator shall pay or provide Executive with the following: 

(i)            The Accrued Benefits; and 

(ii)            if Executive signs a general
release of claims in favor of the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and subject to the expiration of any applicable or legally required revocation period, all within sixty (60) days after the effective date of
termination (the “Release Requirement”): 

  
 5 














(1)            the REIT Operator shall pay Executive a cash amount
equal to one and one-half (1.5) times, if the Qualifying Termination occurs outside the Change-in-Control Window (as defined
herein), or two (2) times, if the Qualifying Termination occurs within the Change in Control Window, the sum of (A) Executive’s then-current Base Salary and (B) Executive’s then-current Target Bonus. Subject to
Section 24, the amount payable pursuant to this Section 4(d)(ii)(1)shall be paid in a single lump sum with the first payroll date to occur after the sixtieth (60th) day following the
effective date of Executive’s termination; 

(2)            the Prorated Final Year Target Bonus, payable in a
single lump sum with the first payroll date to occur after the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of Executive’s termination; 

(3)            the Vesting Acceleration for Time-Based Equity
Awards; and 
 (4)            if Executive timely and properly
elects to continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits to which Executive or Executive’s eligible dependents would be entitled under COBRA, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the
Benefits Payments during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period, less withholding for taxes and other similar items, paid in accordance with the normal payroll practice of the REIT Operator during the Applicable Benefits Payment Period beginning
within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Executive’s termination (with the first payment to include any payments that would have been made during such sixty (60) day period if payments had commenced on the effective date
of Executive’s termination). 
 Otherwise, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to Executive.
Executive’s continuing entitlement to receive the payments and benefits set forth in Section 4(d)(ii) is also contingent on Executive’s continued compliance in all material respects with the Restrictive Covenants set forth in
Section 6 of this Agreement, and in the event that Executive breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants (which breach, if susceptible to a cure in the reasonable discretion of the REIT, remains uncured for ten (10) business days following
delivery of a written notice to Executive setting forth the nature of such breach), Executive’s entitlement to any payments and benefits set forth in Section 4(d)(ii) shall immediately cease as of the date of such breach. For the avoidance
of doubt, Executive’s outstanding equity awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. 

(e)            Termination by the Company for Cause. The
Company may cause the REIT Operator to terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(i) hereof, in which event as of the effective date of such termination all payments and benefits under
this Agreement shall cease and all then unvested awards or benefits shall be forfeited, except that the REIT Operator shall pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Benefits (with the exception of any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus). Otherwise, the
Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to Executive. 

(f)            Voluntary Termination by Executive without Good
Reason. Executive may voluntarily terminate Executive’s employment without Good Reason upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. In any such event, after the effective date of such termination, no further payments or benefits
shall be due under this Agreement and all then unvested awards or benefits shall be forfeited, except that the REIT Operator shall pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Benefits. Otherwise, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation
under this Agreement to Executive. 

  
 6 














(g)            Notice of Termination. Any termination of
Executive’s employment shall be communicated by a written notice of termination to the other parties hereto given in accordance with Section 14 and shall specify the termination date in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 (h)            Resignation of All Other
Positions. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions that Executive holds as an officer of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, and from all positions
that Executive holds as a member of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) or the board of directors (or a committee thereof) of any subsidiary or affiliate of the REIT, unless otherwise mutually agreed with the Board of Directors, and
shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing.

report to work, and (C) Executive shall only undertake such actions on behalf of the Company, consistent with Executive’s position, as expressly directed by the Board of Directors.

“Cause” shall mean any of the following: 

(1)            conduct by Executive that amounts to willful

 (6)            Executive’s charge with,

(5)            the relocation (without the written consent of
Executive) of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Principal Location. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless notice of termination on account thereof is given no
later than ninety (90) days after the time at which Executive has knowledge that the event or condition purportedly giving rise to Good Reason first occurs or arises , (II) if there exists 

  
 9 













 
an event or condition that constitutes Good Reason, the Company shall have thirty (30) days from the date notice of such termination is received to cure such event or condition and, if the
Company does so, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder and (III) Executive provides written notice of termination with Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the Company’s failure to cure such event
or condition. 
 (vii)            For purposes of this
Agreement, the “Applicable Benefits Payment Period” shall begin on the effective date of Executive’s termination, or, in the case of Executive’s death, the effective date of COBRA continuation coverage for Executive’s
eligible dependents under the REIT Operator’s group health plans, and shall end on the date that is twelve (12) months following the effective date of Executive’s termination by reason of Executive’s death or Disability, or the
date that is twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of Executive’s Qualifying Termination, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Benefits Payment Period shall end immediately upon Executive becoming

(viii)            The REIT Operator-paid portion of the monthly
premium Benefits Payments shall be determined in accordance with Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder, and shall be treated as taxable compensation by
including such amount in Executive’s income in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Any Benefits Payments made to the Executive’s eligible dependents shall be treated as taxable compensation by including such amount in the
eligible dependents’ income and withholding from such amounts in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. 

(ix)            The parties agree that a termination of
Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section 4 will not be a breach of this Agreement and does not relieve either party of its other obligations hereunder. 
  

	 	5.	 Code Section 280G. 



(a)            Treatment of Payments. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an accounting firm or a nationally recognized tax firm specializing in Code Section 280G calculations which shall be designated by the
Company prior to a Change in Control with Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by
Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other
plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “Total Payments”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Code or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the payments or benefits to be received by Executive that are subject to Section 280G or 4999 of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes, and
employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes
and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this
Section 5(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by the Accounting Firm, applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to Executive’s taxable
income for the tax 

  
 10 













 
year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to
Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the
Total Payments were so reduced, then Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments. 

(b)            Ordering of Reduction. In the case
of a reduction in the Total Payments pursuant to Section 5(a), the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (A) payments that are payable in cash (and that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code) that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first;
(B) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) (and that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (C) payments that
are payable in cash (and that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A
24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (D) payments and benefits (that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) due in respect of any equity valued at less than full
value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; and (E) all other cash or non-cash benefits not otherwise described in above will be next reduced pro-rata with any payments or benefits that are deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code being reduced last. 

(c)            Certain Determinations. For purposes of
determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: (A) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to
constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; (B) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not
constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken
into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (C) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be
determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the
requisite calculations and analysis under this Section 5 (and shall cooperate to the extent necessary for any of the determinations in this Section 5(c) to be made), and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its
determinations hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify Executive and the Company to that effect. In the
absence of manifest error, all determinations by the Accounting Firm under this Section 5 shall be binding on Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the later of Executive’s date of
termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any legal counsel retained by the Accounting Firm.

 (d)            Additional Payments. If Executive
receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this Section 5 and it is established pursuant to a determination of a court of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to review or as to which the time to appeal has expired, or pursuant
to an Internal 

  
 11 













 
Revenue Service proceeding, that Executive could have received a greater amount without resulting in any Excise Tax, then the Company shall thereafter pay Executive the aggregate additional
amount which could have been paid without resulting in any Excise Tax as soon as reasonably practicable following such determination.

within ten (10) business days after the termination date, makes a written request to the Company to give such an instruction. 

(i)             Return of Materials. Executive agrees
that Executive will not retain or destroy (except as set forth below), and will immediately return to the Company on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the termination date, or at any other time the Company requests such return, any and
all property of the Company that is in Executive’s possession or subject to Executive’s control, including, but not limited to, tenant, investor, and customer files and information, papers, drawings, notes, manuals, specifications,
designs, devices, code, email, documents, diskettes, CDs, tapes, keys, access cards, credit cards, identification cards, equipment, computers, mobile devices, other electronic media, all other files and documents relating to the Company and its

employment with the Company. Executive will not make, distribute, or retain copies of any such information or property. To the extent that Executive has electronic files or information in Executive’s possession or control that belong to the

as practicable following the termination date, or at any other time the Company requests, Executive shall (1) provide the Company with an electronic copy of all of such files 

  
 16 













 
or information (in an electronic format that readily accessible by the Company); (2) after doing so, delete all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, from all non-Company-owned computers, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, and other media, devices, and equipment, such that such files and information are permanently deleted and irretrievable; and

do not contain any Confidential Information, as well as any information reasonably needed for Executive’s personal tax return preparation, provided that Executive first reasonably cooperates with the Company’s IT and human resources staff
to allow such staff to take reasonable steps to ensure that any documents or materials so retained by Executive do not contain any Confidential Information. 

(j)             Enforcement of Protective Covenants.

 (i)            Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. The
parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the Restrictive Covenants will be inadequate, and that in the event Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall
have the right and remedy, without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond, to seek to enjoin Executive, preliminarily and permanently, from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive
Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company. Executive understands and agrees that if Executive violates any of the obligations set forth in the Restrictive Covenants, the period of restriction applicable to each obligation violated shall cease to run during the
pendency of any litigation over such violation, provided that such litigation was initiated during the period of restriction. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the
Company at law or in equity. The Company’s ability to enforce its rights under the Restrictive Covenants or applicable law against Executive shall not be impaired in any way by the existence of a claim or cause of action on Executive’s
part based on, or arising out of, this Agreement or any other event or transaction. 

(ii)            Severability and Modification of
Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that each of the Restrictive Covenants is reasonable and valid in time and scope and in all other respects. The parties agree that it is their intention that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced in
accordance with their terms to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each of the Restrictive Covenants shall be considered and construed as a separate and independent covenant. Should any part or provision of any of the Restrictive Covenants be held
invalid, void, or unenforceable, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement or such Restrictive Covenant. If any of the provisions of the Restrictive
Covenants should ever be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the scope permitted by the applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be automatically modified to such lesser scope as such court may deem just and proper for the
reasonable protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and may be enforced by the Company to that extent in the manner described above and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable. 

(k)             Disclosure of Agreement. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Executive will disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to any prospective employer, business partner, investor or lender prior to entering into an employment, partnership or
other business relationship with such prospective employer, business partner, investor or lender. Executive further agrees that the Company shall have the right to make any such prospective employer, business partner, investor or lender of Executive
aware of the existence and terms of this Agreement. 

  
 17 














(l)            Survival of Provisions. Section 6 of
this Agreement and all other provisions necessary to interpret or enforce Section 6 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding the expiration of the Term or this Agreement or the
termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason. 

7.            Additional Acknowledgments. 

 (a)            [Reserved] 

(b)            Executive also agrees that, in
addition to any other remedies available to the Company and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Executive breaches in any material respect any of Executive’s obligations under Section 6 (which
breach, if susceptible to a cure in the reasonable discretion of the Company, remains uncured for ten (10) business days following delivery of a written notice to Executive setting forth the nature of such breach), the Company shall immediately
cease all payments and benefits (including vesting of equity-based awards) under Section 4 and will have no further obligations thereunder. 

(c)            Executive and the Company further
agree that REIT Operator is the employer of Executive for all U.S. federal income tax and employment tax purposes. In accordance with such status, to the extent that any provision herein permits the Company to control, supervise, or otherwise
determine the rights, responsibilities, or obligations of Executive hereunder; to remunerate, reimburse, or otherwise provide any economic benefit to Executive hereunder (or to determine the amount of such payments or benefits); or to otherwise
initiate, terminate, or otherwise alter the terms of Executive’s employment with REIT Operator hereunder, it is acknowledged and agreed by all parties hereto that such actions are taken on behalf of REIT Operator, which hereby grants all
necessary power and authority to the Company to take such actions on behalf of REIT Operator. 

8.            Executive’s Cooperation. During and
following the Term of Employment, Executive shall cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial investigation or proceeding or any dispute with a third party as reasonably requested by the
Company to the extent that such investigation, proceeding or dispute may relate to matters in which Executive has knowledge as a result of Executive’s employment with the Company or Executive’s serving as an officer or director of the
Company (including Executive being available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s request, after reasonable notice, to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena
or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent
with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments). In the event the Company requires Executive’s reasonable assistance or cooperation in accordance with this Section 8, the REIT Operator shall reimburse Executive solely for
reasonable travel expenses (including lodging and meals) upon submission of receipts and for reasonable legal fees incurred by Executive to the extent Executive reasonably believes that independent counsel would be appropriate. Any such cooperation
shall take into account Executive’s personal and business commitments, and Executive shall not be required to cooperate against his legal interests or the legal interests of any subsequent employer. 

9.            Executive’s Representations. Executive
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument,
order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (b) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality
agreement with any other person or entity and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this 

  
 18 













 
Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that Executive has consulted with
independent legal counsel regarding Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that Executive fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein. 

10.            [Reserved] 

11.            Insurance for Company’s Own Behalf. The
Company may, at its discretion, apply for and procure in its own name and for its own benefit life and/or disability insurance on Executive in any amount or amounts considered advisable. Executive agrees to cooperate in any medical or other
examination, supply any information and execute and deliver any applications or other instruments in writing as may be reasonably necessary to obtain and constitute such insurance. 

12.            Withholding. The REIT Operator shall be
entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing from the Company to Executive any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes, excise tax, or employment taxes that it reasonably determines are required to be imposed with respect to
Executive’s compensation or other payments or benefits from the Company or Executive’s ownership interest in the Company (including wages, bonuses, the receipt or exercise of equity options and/or the receipt or vesting of restricted
equity). 
 13.            Survival. The rights and
obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall survive as provided herein or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company,
regardless of the manner of or reasons for such termination. 

14.            Notices. All notices, requests and other
communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally against written receipt or mailed by prepaid first class certified mail, return receipt requested, or mailed by overnight courier

15.            Severability. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any action in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 

16.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, including but not limited to the
Prior Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be eligible to participate in any severance plan or program during the Term of Employment to the extent such participation would result in a duplication of benefits. 

17.            No Strict Construction. The language used in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 

18.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. 

19.            Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is
intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive, the Company and their respective heirs, successors and assigns, except that Executive may not assign Executive’s rights or delegate Executive’s duties or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may only assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of the Company under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 

20.            Choice of Law. All issues and questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. 

21.            Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this
Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company (as approved by the Board) and Executive, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of
the provisions of this Agreement (including the Company’s right to terminate the Term of Employment for Cause) shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or be deemed to be an implied waiver of any provision
of this Agreement. 
 22.            Consent to
Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
RELATED AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO SUCH PARTY’S
RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION IN THIS SECTION 22. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO


  
 20 













 
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY AND THEREBY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND HEREBY AND THEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 

23.            Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A
SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED-FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

24.            Section 409A. 

(a)            Interpretation. Notwithstanding the other
provisions hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”) or any exemption thereunder, to the extent applicable, and
this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. If necessary, any provisions of this Agreement that would otherwise violate Section 409A shall be amended by the parties to comply with Section 409A; provided, that, such amendment shall
endeavor to maintain the economic benefits of this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar
year of any payment that constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent any payment or benefit provided under Section 4 is contingent upon Executive’s execution of the general release of claims described
in Section 4(d)(ii), if such payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A and the 60-day period described in Section 4(d)(ii) spans calendar years, such
payment and/or benefit shall be paid or commence, as applicable, in the latter calendar year. Executive will be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of determining the timing of any payments or benefits hereunder that constitute
deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A only upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 

(b)            Payment Delay. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if on the date of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is used in Section 409A), then any amounts payable to Executive that
constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A that are payable due to Executive’s termination of employment shall be postponed and paid (without interest) to Executive in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months
and one (1) day following Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company (or any successor thereto); provided, however, that if Executive dies during such six-month period
and prior to payment of the postponed cash amounts hereunder, the amounts delayed on account of Section 409A shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate on the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s death. 

(c)            Reimbursements. If Executive is entitled to
be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Agreement, and such payments or reimbursements are includible in Executive’s federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not
affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was


  
 21 













 
incurred. No right of Executive to reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
