2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“Award Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
            (the “Grant Date”), by and between First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and
            (the “Grantee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company maintains
the First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Award Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Grantee has been selected by the Committee to receive an award of Restricted Stock under the Plan; and 

WHEREAS, this Award Agreement is subject to the terms of the Plan and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree, freely and with full knowledge and consent, as follows: 

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee
            “Covered Shares” of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan (“Award”), where each Covered Share represents the right of the Grantee to enjoy,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan, one (1) share of Stock free of restrictions once the Restricted Period ends. The Covered Shares are granted as of the Grant Date. 

2. Vesting. 
 (a) The
“Restricted Period” for each installment of Covered Shares set forth in the table immediately below (each, an “Installment”) shall begin on the Grant Date and end as described in the table immediately below;
provided that the Grantee’s Termination of Service has not occurred prior thereto: 
  

			
	 INSTALLMENT
	  	 RESTRICTED PERIOD
SHALL END ON:

	    % of Covered Shares	  	Date/Event/Other Condition

 (b) Upon the consummation of a Change of Control prior to the Grantee’s Termination of Service, the
Restricted Period for all the Covered Shares shall cease and such Covered Shares shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the Change of Control. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the Restricted Period for all the Covered Shares shall cease
immediately and such Covered Shares shall become fully vested immediately upon the Grantee’s Termination of Service due to the Grantee’s Disability or the Grantee’s death. 







 (d) Except as set forth in Section 2(c) above, if the Grantee’s Termination of
Service occurs prior to the expiration of one or more Restricted Periods, the Grantee shall forfeit all right, title and interest in and to any Installment(s) still subject to a Restricted Period as of such Termination of Service. 

3. Share Delivery. Delivery of Stock or other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the following: 

(a) To the extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of Stock, such issuance may be effected on a non-certificated
basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding any other term of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution
complies with all applicable laws and the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
 4. Dividends. The Grantee
shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions paid on any Installment during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends or distributions shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Grantee with respect to
record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Grantee has forfeited the respective Covered Shares. 

5. Voting Rights. The Grantee shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period; provided,
however, that the Grantee shall not be entitled to vote Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Grantee has forfeited the respective Covered Shares. 

6. Deposit of Restricted Stock Award. All Stock issued with respect to Covered Shares shall be registered in the name of the Grantee
and shall be retained by the Company, or an agent of the Company, until the end of the Restricted Period applicable to such Covered Shares. 

7. Corporate Transactions. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, in the event of a corporate
transaction involving the Company or the shares of Stock of the Company (including any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of
shares), this Award shall automatically be adjusted to proportionately and uniformly reflect such transaction (but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of this Award intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable); provided, however, that the Committee may otherwise adjust this Award (or prevent such automatic adjustment) as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to
preserve the benefits or potential benefits of this Award and the Plan.

 8. Nontransferability. This Award shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 9. Withholding. The Grantee shall make
appropriate arrangements with the Company, consistent with the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, for satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding requirements, or similar requirements, arising out of this Award Agreement. 

10. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be
vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Award Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Award Agreement or the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it with
respect to this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons. 
 11. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything
in this Award Agreement to the contrary, this Award Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Grantee from the office of the Secretary of the Company; and this Award Agreement shall be subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the Plan and this
Award Agreement, the Plan shall control. Further notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the corporate records of the Company and this Award Agreement, the corporate records shall
control. 
 12. Not an Employment Contract. The grant of this Award shall not confer on the Grantee any right with respect to
continuance of service with the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, nor shall such grant confer any right to future grants of Restricted Stock, or any other awards in lieu thereof, while employed by the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary.
The grant shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary to terminate the Grantee’s service at any time. 

13. Validity. If any provision of this Award Agreement is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. 

14. References. References herein to rights and obligations of the Grantee shall apply, where appropriate, to the Grantee’s legal
representative or estate without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a particular provision of this Award Agreement. 

15. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given when delivered personally or by courier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, duly addressed to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such party may

without the consent of the Grantee in order to maintain an exclusion from the application of, or to maintain compliance with, Section 409A of the Code. Any such amendment shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the
applicable provision. The Grantee’s acceptance of this Award constitutes the Grantee’s acknowledgement of and consent to such rights of the Company. 

21. Clawback Policy. This Award, and any amount or benefit received hereunder shall be subject to potential cancellation,
recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any applicable Company clawback policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Policy”) and any applicable law. The Grantee’s acceptance of
