to terminate the Executive shall be made by a majority vote of the Board:

(a)Death
or Disability. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon death or
Disability of the Executive. As used in this Agreement, “Disability” and “Disabled” shall mean the Executive’s
inability to perform the normal full-time services he was performing prior to the onset of any sickness, injury or disability
for a consecutive period of one hundred and eighty (180) days with no reasonable prospect of returning to normal full-time service.

    	3

    	 

    

(b)A
determination of “Disability” shall be made by a physician satisfactory to both the Executive and the Company, provided
that if the Executive and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Executive and the Company shall each select a physician
and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to Disabled shall be binding on all parties. The
appointment of one or more individuals to carry out the offices or duties of the Executive during a period of the Executive’s
inability to perform such duties and pending a determination of Disabled shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement by
the Company.

(c)With
Cause. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement shall terminate at the election of the Company immediately
upon the giving of written notice by the Company to the Executive of his termination with Cause. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist solely in the event of: (i) the indictment or conviction of
the Executive of, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to, any felony (exclusive of any
felony relating to negligent operation of a motor vehicle and not including a conviction, plea of guilty or nolo contendere
arising solely under a statutory provision imposing criminal liability upon the Executive on a per se basis due to the Company
offices held by the Executive, so long as any act or omission of the Executive with respect to such matter was not taken or omitted
in contravention of any applicable policy or directive of the Board), (ii) a willful breach of the Executive’s duty
of loyalty or commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company, (iii) the Executive’s
material failure to perform or adhere to explicitly stated duties that are consistent with the material terms of this Agreement,
or the Company’s reasonable and customary guidelines of employment or reasonable and customary corporate governance guidelines
or policies, including without limitation any business code of ethics adopted by the Board, or to follow the lawful directives
of the Board (provided that such directives are consistent with the material terms of this Agreement and applicable law), or to
comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or Executive’s material failure which, in any such case, continues
uncorrected for thirty (30) days after written notice from the Board to the Executive, or (iv) gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of the Executive’s duties that had, has or will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
reputation or business. In any such case, before termination may be effected, the Executive shall have the right (accompanied
by counsel if he so elects) to be present at a meeting of the Board and to present his case to the Board. For purposes of this
Section 6(c), no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part will be deemed to be “gross negligence”
or “willful misconduct” if the Executive can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that the Executive’s
act or failure to act was done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and with a reasonable factual belief that
the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company.

(d)Without
Cause, or With or Without Good Reason. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement shall terminate at
the election of the Company without Cause, or at the election of the Executive with or without Good Reason, in either case upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive or the Company, as the case may be.

    	4

    	 

    

(e)With
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions or omissions
by or on behalf of the Company, provided the Executive notifies the Company in writing of his determination that Good Reason exists
within 60 days of the act or omission on which such determination is based:

consent of the Executive;

(ii)failure
to renew this Agreement on at least comparable terms at any Term Date;

(iii)a
material reduction of the Executive’s duties, responsibilities or reporting requirements, or the assignment to the
Executive of any duties, responsibilities, or reporting requirements that are inconsistent with his position as President
and CEO, without the prior written consent of the Executive;

(iv)the
termination of either of the Incentive Plans, without replacing such plan with a comparable plan, or the failure to pay the Executive
any amount due either under such Incentive Plan at the required time;

(v)a
reduction or loss of employee benefits or material fringe benefits, both in terms of the amount of the benefit and the level of
the Executive’s participation therein, enjoyed by the Executive under the employee benefit and welfare plans of the Company,
including without limitation, such benefits as group health, dental, 401(k), accident, disability insurance, or life insurance,
except as is required by applicable law;

(vi)absent
the Executive’s prior written consent, the Company’s changing to a location that is outside of Manhattan, the principal
place of business that is maintained for the Executive to perform his principal duties, without the Executive’s prior written
consent; or

7.EFFECTS
OF TERMINATION.

(a)Termination
by Reason of Death, Disability or Non Renewal; by the Company Without Cause; or by Executive With Good Reason. If the employment
of the Executive should terminate during the Term because of death, Disability or non renewal by either party, or at the election
of the Company without Cause or by Executive With Good Reason, the Company shall pay or provide the Executive with the following:

(i)Any
earned and unpaid Base Salary, amounts earned but unpaid under the Incentive Plans and expense reimbursements pursuant to the Agreement
that are due and owing to the Executive up to and including his period of employment preceding his termination date (including
pay in lieu of accrued, but unused, vacation) (the “Accrued Obligations”).

    	5

    	 

    

(ii)To
the extent not then vested, all restricted stock, stock options and awards made under the Incentive Plans shall vest as of the
date of the Executive’s termination, subject to the conditions of the awards, the Incentive Plans as set forth therein or
any other plan maintained by the Company. In addition, upon the Executive’s termination, for any such reason, he shall receive
a grant under the Incentive Plans equal to the grant he would have received under such Plans if he had remained employed for the
entire year, but prorated to reflect the period the Executive worked during such year.

(iii)The
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a single, lump sum cash payment sixty (60) days following the Executive’s
separation from service, provided that the Executive has delivered a signed General Release substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit A to the Company and the Executive has not revoked the General Release. The Executive’s failure or refusal to
sign or his revocation of the General Release shall abrogate the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and shall
relieve the Company of liability to provide Executive any and all benefits following the effective date of Executive’s termination.

(iv)The
Company shall allow the Executive to continue to participate in any healthcare, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans in
which the Executive participated immediately prior to his termination for a period of eighteen (18) months (the “Severance
Period”) to the same extent and upon the same terms as the Executive participated in such plans prior to his termination,
provided that the Executive’s continued participation is permissible or otherwise practicable under the general terms and
provisions of such benefit plans and programs as they may exist at or after the date upon which his termination is effective. During
the Severance Period, the Company shall pay for the Executive’s continued participation in said healthcare, dental, vision,
and prescription drug plans, and shall pay the Executive’s life insurance premiums specified in Section 5(d)(iv) of
this Agreement. To the extent that continued participation in any such plan is neither permissible nor practicable, the Company
shall take such actions as may be necessary to provide the Executive with substantially comparable benefits (without additional
cost to the Executive) outside the scope of such plans, including, without limitation, reimbursing the Executive for his costs
in obtaining such coverage, such as COBRA premiums paid by the Executive for himself and/or his eligible dependents, as well as
premiums in excess of COBRA coverage. If the Executive engages in regular employment after his termination of employment (whether
as an executive or as a self-employed person), any employee benefit and welfare benefits received by the Executive in consideration
of such employment which are similar in nature to the healthcare, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans provided by the Company
will relieve the Company of its obligation under this Section 7(a)(vi) to provide comparable benefits to the extent of the
benefits so received. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no payments shall be made by the Company
with respect to any coverage period beyond the last day of the Severance Period.

(b)No
Other Payments Upon Termination of the Executive‘s Employment. In the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated with the Company for any reason, no severance or other payment shall be due the Executive except as set forth in this
Section 7.

(c)Termination
of Authority. Immediately upon the Executive terminating or being terminated from his employment with the Company for any
reason, notwithstanding anything else appearing in this Agreement or otherwise, the Executive will stop serving the functions
of his terminated or expired position and shall be without any of the authority or responsibility for such position.

8.CHANGE
OF CONTROL.

(a)Change
of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” will be deemed to have taken place upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)any
person is or becomes Beneficial Owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35 percent or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Company, excluding (A) any person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described
in clause (x) of subsection (ii) below and (B) any person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner through the issuance
of such securities with respect to purchases made directly from the Company; or

(ii)the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other person or the issuance of voting securities of the Company
in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) pursuant to applicable
stock exchange requirements, other than (x) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) 50 percent or more of the combined voting power
of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation,
or (y) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which
no person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35 percent or more
of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company; or

(iii)the
consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(iv)persons
who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including,
without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority
of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to such date shall be considered an
Incumbent Director if such person’s election was approved by or such person was nominated for election by a vote of at least
a majority of the Incumbent Directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any payment that is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder
“Code Section 409A”) that is triggered upon a Change in Control, a transaction shall not be deemed to be a Change in
Control unless such transaction constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

    	7

    	 

    

(b)Benefits
Under a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control during the Term, the Executive shall become 100% vested
in any equity awarded to the Executive and shall vest in any outstanding awards under the Incentive Plans.

9.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  The
Executive recognizes and acknowledges that certain assets of the Company constitute Confidential Information. The term “Confidential
Information” as used in this Agreement shall mean all information which is known only to the Executive or the Company, other
employees of the Company, or others in a confidential relationship with the Company, and relating to the Company’s business
including, without limitation, information regarding clients, customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, business plans,
proprietary Company programs, sales products, profits, costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical
processes, and trade secrets, as such information may exist from time to time, which the Executive acquired or obtained by virtue
of his affiliation with or work performed for the Company, or which the Executive may acquire or may have acquired knowledge of
during the performance of said work. The Executive shall not, during or after the Term, disclose all or any part of the Confidential
Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly
or indirectly, except as may be required pursuant to his employment hereunder, by law or in any judicial or administrative proceeding
(in which case, the Executive promptly shall provide the Company with notice pursuant to the next below paragraph) unless and
until such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by the Executive of his
confidentiality obligations hereunder. In the event of the termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary and
whether by the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall deliver to the Company all documents and data in whatever form it
may be maintained including without limitation any electronic, written or mechanical formats) pertaining to the Confidential Information
and all devices on which such documents or data may have been stored electronically or mechanically and shall not take with him
any documents or data of any kind or any reproductions (in whole or in part) or extracts of any items relating to the Confidential
Information. The Company acknowledges that, prior to his employment with the Company, the Executive has lawfully acquired extensive
knowledge of the industries and businesses in which the Company engages, and that the provisions of this Section 9 are not
intended to restrict the Executive’s use of such previously acquired knowledge.

In the event that
the Executive receives a request or is required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative
demand or similar process) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to (a) promptly
notify the Company in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirement, (b) consult
with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement, and (c) assist
the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy
is not obtained or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Executive shall not be liable for such disclosure
unless disclosure to any such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by the Executive not permitted by this
Agreement.

10.SOLICITATION
and COMPETITION. During the Term and for a period of 12 calendar months after the termination of the Executive’s employment
for any reason other than by the Company without Cause, by the Company for non-renewal, as the result of a Change in Control,
or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall not (a) directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee,
employer, stockholder, partner or in any other capacity whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Board, solicit the
employment of, or assist others in soliciting the employment of, any individual employed by the Company (other than the Executive’s
personal assistant or Secretary) in the six (6) months before the Executive’s termination, or (b) in any capacity, whether
for his own account or for any other person or organization, directly or indirectly (i) own, operate, manage or control,
(ii) serve as an officer, director, partner, employee, agent, consultant or advisor or in any similar capacity, or (iii) have
any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone in the conduct of any publicly listed net lease real estate investment trust
that engages in a business that is substantially competitive with the Company’s business as of the date of the Executive’s
termination of employment.

    	8

    	 

    

Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from making any passive investment in a public company, or where he is the owner of five
percent (5%) or less of the issued and outstanding voting securities of any entity, provided such ownership does not result in
his being obligated or required to devote any consulting or managerial efforts or services.

The Executive agrees
that the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to this Section 10 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject
matter, length of time and geographic area. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 10
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or in arbitration to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended
over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified
to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11.INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY. The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company or any successor or assign, and grant to the Company and its
successors and assigns without any separate remuneration or compensation other than that received by him in the course of his
employment, his entire right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions, developments, discoveries, models, or business
plans or opportunities, or any other intellectual property of any type or nature whatsoever (“Intellectual Property”),
developed by him during the period of his employment by the Company and whether developed by him during or after business hours,
or alone or in connection with others, that is in any way related to the business of the Company, its successors or assigns. This
provision shall not apply to books or articles authored by the Executive during non-work hours, consistent with his obligations
under this Agreement, so long as such books or articles (a) are not funded in whole or in part by the Company, and (b) do
not contain any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property of the Company. The Executive agrees, at the Company’s
expense, to take all steps necessary or proper to vest title to all such Intellectual Property in the Company, and cooperate fully
and assist the Company in any litigation or other proceedings involving any such Intellectual Property.

12.EQUITABLE
RELIEF. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, upon any breach by the Executive of his obligations under Sections 9,
10 and 11 hereof, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and accordingly shall be immediately entitled to specific performance
and other appropriate injunctive and equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g)At-Will
Employment/Waiver of Jury or Court Trial. This ADR Policy and Procedure does not alter the terms and conditions of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this ADR Policy and Procedure limits in any way the Executive’s right
or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time. This ADR Policy and Procedure does not
require the Executive or Company to start the arbitration process before taking action of any kind, including without limitation
the termination of the Executive’s employment. This Policy waives any right that the Executive or the Company may have to
a jury trial or a court trial of any Employment-Related Dispute (except as provided above in Sections 12 or 13(e) for a court
to issue provisional or equitable remedies).

(h)ADR
Agreement and Savings Provision.

(i)The
Executive and the Company agree that this ADR Policy and Procedure shall mandatorily apply and be the sole and exclusive method
by which both the Executive and the Company are required to resolve any and all Employment-Related Disputes, to the fullest extent
permitted and not prohibited or restricted by law.

(ii)Should
any provision of this ADR Policy and Procedure be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Executive and the Company agree that
it shall be deemed to be modified so that its purpose can lawfully be effectuated and the balance of this ADR Policy and Procedure
shall remain in full force and effect. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of this ADR Policy and Procedure
shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or enforceability of any provision of the Agreement shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the provisions of this Section 13.

14.INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company shall indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses
incurred or sustained by the Executive, (including, to the extent permitted therein, the cost of legal counsel selected and retained
by the Executive) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the
Executive being or having been an officer, director, or employee of the Company other than any action, suit or proceeding commenced
by the Executive or by the Company arising out of or in connection with an Employment-Related Dispute.

15.COOPERATION
IN FUTURE MATTERS. The Executive hereby agrees that for a period of eighteen (18) months following his termination of employment
he shall cooperate fully with the Company’s reasonable requests relating to matters that pertain to the Executive’s
employment by the Company, including, without limitation, providing information or limited consultation as to such matters, participating
in legal proceedings, investigations or audits on behalf of the Company, or otherwise making himself reasonably available to the
Company for other related purposes. Any such cooperation shall be performed at scheduled times taking into consideration the Executive’s
other commitments, and the Executive shall be compensated at a reasonable hourly or per diem rate to be agreed upon by the Parties.
The Executive shall not be required to perform such cooperation to the extent it conflicts with any requirements of exclusivity
of services for another employer or otherwise, nor in any manner that in the good faith belief of the Executive would conflict
with his rights under or ability to enforce this Agreement.

Executive acknowledges that he is aware that he may later discover facts in addition to or different from those which he now knows
or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Release, but it is his intention to fully and finally forever
settle and release any and all matters, disputes, and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, which now exist,
may later exist or may previously have existed between himself and the Releasees or any of them, and that in furtherance of this

he may have against the Company. However, Executive hereby agrees to waive the right to recover money damages in any proceeding
he may bring before the EEOC or any other similar body or in any proceeding brought by the EEOC or any other similar body on his

connection with the procurement of such insurance coverage. The Executive shall have the right, if terminated for any reason,
to purchase any insurance policies on his life owned by the Company at their then fair value. The Company shall also purchase
an insurance policy on the life of the Executive in the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000), which policy shall be owned
by the Executive; the premiums for such policy shall be paid by the Company. The Executive understands and agrees that he shall
be responsible for any federal, state or local taxes imposed as a result of such purchase by the Company.

6.TERMINATION.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to and may, in the exercise
of its discretion, terminate the Executive at any time prior to the expiration of the Term by reason of Death or Disability, or
with or without Cause, and the Executive shall have the right to and may, in the exercise of his discretion, terminate his employment
during the Term, subject to the provisions set forth below and provided that the decision of the Company to terminate the Executive
shall be made by a majority vote of the Board:

    	3

    	 

    

(a)Death
or Disability. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon death or
Disability of the Executive. As used in this Agreement, “Disability” and “Disabled” shall mean the Executive’s
inability to perform the normal full-time services he was performing prior to the onset of any sickness, injury or disability
for a consecutive period of one hundred and eighty (180) days with no reasonable prospect of returning to normal full-time service.

(b)Determination
of Disability. A determination of “Disability” shall be made by a physician
satisfactory to both the Executive and the Company, provided that if the Executive and the Company do not agree on a physician,
the Executive and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination
as to Disabled shall be binding on all parties. The appointment of one or more individuals to carry out the offices or duties of
the Executive during a period of the Executive’s inability to perform such duties and pending a determination of Disabled
shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(c)With
Cause. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement shall terminate at the election of the Company immediately
upon the giving of written notice by the Company to the Executive of his termination with Cause. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist solely in the event of: (i) the indictment or conviction of
the Executive of, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to, any felony (exclusive of any
felony relating to negligent operation of a motor vehicle and not including a conviction, plea of guilty or nolo contendere
arising solely under a statutory provision imposing criminal liability upon the Executive on a per se basis due to the Company
offices held by the Executive, so long as any act or omission of the Executive with respect to such matter was not taken or omitted
in contravention of any applicable policy or directive of the Board), (ii) a willful breach of the Executive’s duty
of loyalty or commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company, (iii) the Executive’s
material failure to perform or adhere to explicitly stated duties that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or the
Company’s reasonable and customary guidelines of employment or reasonable and customary corporate governance guidelines
or policies, including without limitation any business code of ethics adopted by the Board, or to follow the lawful directives
of the Board (provided that such directives are consistent with the material terms of this Agreement and applicable law) or Executive’s
material failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that in any case under this clause (iii),
such material failure to perform, adhere or comply, as applicable, remains uncorrected for thirty (30) days following written
notice to Executive of such material failure to perform, adhere or comply, or (iv) gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of the Executive’s duties that had, has or will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
reputation or business. In any such case, before termination may be effected, the Executive shall have the right (accompanied
by counsel if he so elects) to be present at a meeting of the Board and to present his case to the Board. For purposes of this
Section 6(c), no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part will be deemed to be “gross negligence”
or “willful misconduct” if the Executive can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that the Executive’s
act or failure to act was done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and with a reasonable factual belief that
the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company.

    	4

    	 

    

(d)Without
Cause or Voluntarily. The employment of the Executive by the Company and this Agreement
shall terminate at the election of the Company without Cause, or by the Executive upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the Executive or the Company, as the case may be.

7.EFFECTS
OF TERMINATION.

(a)Termination
by Reason of Death or Disability; or by the Company Without Cause. If the employment of the Executive should terminate during
the Term because of death or Disability, or at the election of the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay or provide the
Executive with the following:

(i)Any
earned and unpaid Base Salary, any cash bonus earned with respect to the preceding year but not yet paid, a pro rata portion of
the cash bonus due him for the year of termination, amounts earned but unpaid under the Incentive Plans and expense reimbursements
pursuant to the Agreement that are due and owing to the Executive up to and including his period of employment preceding his termination
date (including pay in lieu of accrued, but unused, vacation) (the “Accrued Obligations”).

(ii)To
the extent not then vested, all restricted stock, stock options and awards made under the Incentive Plans or any other plan maintained
by the Company shall vest as of the date of the Executive’s termination, subject to the conditions of the awards or the Incentive
Plans as set forth therein. In addition, the Executive shall receive a grant under the Incentive Plans equal to the grant he would
have received under such plans if he had remained employed for the entire year, but prorated to reflect the period the Executive
worked during such year.

(iii)The
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a single, lump sum cash payment sixty (60) days following the Executive’s
separation from service, provided that the Executive has delivered a signed General Release substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit A to the Company and the Executive has not revoked the General Release. The Executive’s failure or refusal to
sign or his revocation of the General Release shall abrogate the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and shall
relieve the Company of liability to provide Executive any and all benefits following the effective date of Executive’s termination.

(iv)The
Company shall allow the Executive to continue to participate in any healthcare, disability, dental, vision, and prescription drug
plans in which the Executive participated immediately prior to his termination for a period of eighteen (18) months (the “Severance
Period”) to the same extent and upon the same terms as the Executive participated in such plans prior to his termination,
provided that the Executive’s continued participation is permissible or otherwise practicable under the general terms and
provisions of such benefit plans and programs as they may exist at or after the date upon which his termination is effective. During
the Severance Period, the Company shall pay for the Executive’s continued participation in said healthcare, dental, vision,
and prescription drug plans, and shall pay the Executive’s life insurance premiums specified in Section 5(d)(iv) of
this Agreement. To the extent that continued participation in any such plan is neither permissible nor practicable, the Company
shall take such actions as may be necessary to provide the Executive with substantially comparable benefits (without additional
cost to the Executive) outside the scope of such plans, including, without limitation, reimbursing the Executive for his costs
in obtaining such coverage, such as COBRA premiums paid by the Executive for himself and/or his eligible dependents, as well as
premiums in excess of COBRA coverage. If the Executive engages in regular employment after his termination of employment (whether
as an executive or as a self-employed person), any employee benefit and welfare benefits received by the Executive in consideration
of such employment which are similar in nature to the healthcare, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans provided by the Company
will relieve the Company of its obligation under this Section 7(a)(iv) to provide comparable benefits to the extent of the
benefits so received. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no payments shall be made by the Company
with respect to any coverage period beyond the last day of the Severance Period.

    	5

    	 

    

(b)No
Other Payments Upon Termination of the Executive‘s Employment. In the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated with the Company for any reason, no severance or other payment shall be due the Executive except as set forth in this
Section 7.

(c)Termination
of Authority. Immediately upon the Executive terminating or being terminated from his employment with the Company for any
reason, notwithstanding anything else appearing in this Agreement or otherwise, the Executive will stop serving the functions
of his terminated or expired position and shall be without any of the authority or responsibility for such position.

8.CHANGE
OF CONTROL.

(a)Change
of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” will be deemed to have taken place upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)any
person is or becomes Beneficial Owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35 percent or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Company, excluding (A) any person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described
in clause (x) of subsection (ii) below and (B) any person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner through the issuance
of such securities with respect to purchases made directly from the Company; or

(ii)the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other person or the issuance of voting securities of the Company
in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) pursuant to applicable
stock exchange requirements, other than (x) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) 50 percent or more of the combined voting power
of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation,
or (y) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which
no person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 35 percent or more
of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company; or

    	6

    	 

    

(iii)the
consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(iv)persons
who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Directors”)
cease for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction,
to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, provided
that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to such date shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such person’s
election was approved by or such person was nominated for election by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any payment pursuant to a Section 409A Covered Award (as defined in Section 4(d)) that is triggered upon a Change in
Control, a transaction shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control unless such transaction constitutes a “change in control
event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

(b)Benefits
Under a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control during the Term, (i) the Executive shall become 100% vested
in any equity awarded to the Executive and shall vest in any outstanding awards under the Incentive Plans, and (ii) if the
Executive does not accept employment with AR Capital, LLC or an affiliate within six (6) months of such Change in Control, Executive
shall be paid a one-time severance payment equal to his then current base salary six months and one day after the Change in Control.

9.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  The
Executive recognizes and acknowledges that certain assets of the Company constitute Confidential Information. The term “Confidential
Information” as used in this Agreement shall mean all information which is known only to the Executive or the Company, other
employees of the Company, or others in a confidential relationship with the Company, and relating to the Company’s business
including, without limitation, information regarding clients, customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, business plans,
proprietary Company programs, sales products, profits, costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical
processes, and trade secrets, as such information may exist from time to time, which the Executive acquired or obtained by virtue
of his affiliation with or work performed for the Company, or which the Executive may acquire or may have acquired knowledge of
during the performance of said work. The Executive shall not, during or after the Term, disclose all or any part of the Confidential
Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly
or indirectly, except as may be required pursuant to his employment hereunder, by law or in any judicial or administrative proceeding
(in which case, the Executive promptly shall provide the Company with notice pursuant to the next below paragraph) unless and
until such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by the Executive of his
confidentiality obligations hereunder. In the event of the termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary and
whether by the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall deliver to the Company all documents and data in whatever form it
may be maintained including without limitation any electronic, written or mechanical formats) pertaining to the Confidential Information
and all devices on which such documents or data may have been stored electronically or mechanically and shall not take with him
any documents or data of any kind or any reproductions (in whole or in part) or extracts of any items relating to the Confidential
Information. The Company acknowledges that, prior to his employment with the Company, the Executive has lawfully acquired extensive
knowledge of the industries and businesses in which the Company engages, and that the provisions of this Section 9 are not
intended to restrict the Executive’s use of such previously acquired knowledge.

    	7

    	 

    

In the event that
the Executive receives a request or is required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative
demand or similar process) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to (a) promptly
notify the Company in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirement, (b) consult
with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement, and (c) assist
the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy
is not obtained or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Executive shall not be liable for such disclosure
unless disclosure to any such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by the Executive not permitted by this
Agreement.

10.SOLICITATION
and COMPETITION. During the Term and for a period of 12 calendar months after the termination of the Executive’s employment
for any reason other than by the Company without Cause, the Executive shall not (a) directly or indirectly, either as a principal,
agent, employee, employer, stockholder, partner or in any other capacity whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the
Board, solicit the employment of, or assist others in soliciting the employment of, any individual employed by the Company (other
than the Executive’s personal assistant or Secretary) in the six (6) months before the Executive’s termination, or
(b) in any capacity, whether for his own account or for any other person or organization, directly or indirectly (i) own,
operate, manage or control, (ii) serve as an officer, director, partner, employee, agent, consultant or advisor or in any
similar capacity, or (iii) have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone in the conduct of any business that competes
with or is similar to any business carried on by the Company in the same geographic area in which the Company is doing business,
or competes with or is similar to any product, service or business as to which the Company has actively begun preparing to develop
or offer as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment (presently limited to long-term investment grade net
lease real estate). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from making any passive investment in a public company,
or where he is the owner of five percent (5%) or less of the issued and outstanding voting securities of any entity, provided
such ownership does not result in his being obligated or required to devote any consulting or managerial efforts or services.

The Executive agrees
that the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to this Section 10 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject
matter, length of time and geographic area. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 10
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or in arbitration to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended
over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified
to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

    	8

    	 

    

11.INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY. The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company or any successor or assign, and grant to the Company and its
successors and assigns without any separate remuneration or compensation other than that received by him in the course of his
employment, his entire right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions, developments, discoveries, models, or business
plans or opportunities, or any other intellectual property of any type or nature whatsoever (“Intellectual Property”),
developed by him during the period of his employment by the Company and whether developed by him during or after business hours,
or alone or in connection with others, that is in any way related to the business of the Company, its successors or assigns. This
provision shall not apply to books or articles authored by the Executive during non-work hours, consistent with his obligations
under this Agreement, so long as such books or articles (a) are not funded in whole or in part by the Company, and (b) do
not contain any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property of the Company. The Executive agrees, at the Company’s
expense, to take all steps necessary or proper to vest title to all such Intellectual Property in the Company, and cooperate fully
and assist the Company in any litigation or other proceedings involving any such Intellectual Property.

12.EQUITABLE
RELIEF. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, upon any breach by the Executive of his obligations under Sections 9,
10 and 11 hereof, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and accordingly shall be immediately entitled to specific performance
and other appropriate injunctive and equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

13.ALTERNATIVE
DISPUTE RESOLUTION (“ADR”) POLICY AND PROCEDURE.

(a)Coverage.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by law, this ADR Policy and Procedure is the sole and exclusive method
by which the Executive and the Company are required to resolve any and all disputes arising out of or related to the Executive’s
employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, each of which is referred to as “Employment-Related Dispute”,
including, but not limited to, disputes arising out of or related to any of the following subjects:

•Compensation
or other terms or conditions of the Executive’s employment; or

•Application
or enforcement of any Company program or policy to the Executive; or

•Any disciplinary
action or other adverse employment decision of the Company or any statement related to the Executive’s employment, performance
or termination; or

    	9

    	 

    

•Any policy
of the Company or any agreement between the Executive and the Company; or

•Disputes
over the arbitrability of any controversy or claim which arguably is or may be subject to this ADR Policy and Procedure; or

•Claims arising
out of or related to any current or future federal, state or local civil rights laws, fair employment laws, wage and hour laws,
fair labor or employment standards laws, laws against discrimination, equal pay laws, wage and salary payment laws, plant or facility
closing or layoff laws, laws in regard to employment benefits or protections, family and medical leave laws, and whistleblower
laws, including by way of example, but not limited to, the federal Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1871, 1964 and 1991, the Pregnancy
Discrimination Act of 1978, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, and the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1978, as they have been or may be amended from time to time; or

•Any other
dispute arising out of or related to the Executive’s employment or its termination.

(b)Step
1: Negotiation. The Executive and the Company shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of any Employment-Related
Dispute.

(c)Step
2: Mediation. If an Employment-Related Dispute cannot be settled through negotiation and remains unresolved 15 days after
it asserted, the Executive or the Company shall submit the dispute to mediation and the parties shall attempt in good faith to
resolve the dispute by mediation, under the mediation procedure of JAMS or the International Institute for Conflict Prevention
and Resolution (“CPR”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The choice of the JAMS or AAA
mediation procedure shall be made by the party initiating mediation. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the mediation
shall be conducted by a single mediator, and the mediator shall be selected from an appropriate JAMS or CPR or AAA panel pursuant
to the JAMS or CPR or AAA rules, respectively, and said rules are expressly incorporated herein by reference. The mediation shall
be conducted in the city and state in which the Company office is located in which the Executive works(ed). Unless the Parties
agree otherwise, the cost of the mediator’s professional fees and expenses and any reasonable administrative fee will be
shared and paid equally by the Parties, and each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs of the mediation.

(d)Step
3: Binding Arbitration. If an Employment-Related Dispute cannot be settled through mediation and remains unresolved 45 days
after the appointment of a mediator, the Executive or the Company shall submit the dispute to arbitration and the dispute shall
be settled in arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the applicable rules for arbitration of employment disputes
of JAMS or CPR or the AAA in effect at the time of the submission to arbitration and said rules are expressly incorporated herein
by reference. The choice of JAMS or CPR or AAA arbitration rules shall be made by the Party initiating arbitration. The arbitration
shall be conducted in the city and state in which the Company office is located in which the Executive worked. The arbitrator
shall not have the authority to alter or amend any lawful policy, procedure or practice of the Company or agreement to which the
Company is a party or the substantive rights or defenses of either Party under any statute, contract, constitution or common law.
Each Party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and other costs, fees and expenses, if any, with respect to
its conduct of the arbitration. The administrative cost of the arbitration, including any reasonable administrative fee and arbitrator’s
fees and expenses, shall be shared equally and paid by the Parties. The arbitrator is expressly empowered to award reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party as well as all other remedies to which either party would be entitled
if the dispute were resolved in court. The decision and award of the arbitrator is final and binding. The arbitrator shall promptly
issue a written decision in support of his/her award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court of competent jurisdiction, and the award may be confirmed and enforced in any such court. The Federal Arbitration Act or
any applicable state law shall govern the application and enforcement of the provisions of this section.

    	10

    	 

    

(e)Provisional
Remedies. The Executive or the Company may file a complaint or commence a court action to obtain an injunction to enforce
the provisions of this ADR Policy and Procedure, or to seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction or other provisional
relief to maintain the status quo or in aid of or pending the application or enforcement of this ADR Policy and Procedure. Despite
such complaint or action, the parties shall continue to participate in good faith in this ADR Policy and Procedure.

(f)Administrative
Agencies. Nothing in this ADR Policy and Procedure is intended to prevent you from filing a complaint or charge with any administrative
agency, including, but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the National Labor Relations Board.

(g)At-Will
Employment/Waiver of Jury or Court Trial. This ADR Policy and Procedure does not alter the terms and conditions of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this ADR Policy and Procedure limits in any way the Executive’s right
or the Company’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time. This ADR Policy and Procedure does not
require the Executive or Company to start the arbitration process before taking action of any kind, including without limitation
the termination of the Executive’s employment. This Policy waives any right that the Executive or the Company may have to
a jury trial or a court trial of any Employment-Related Dispute (except as provided above in Sections 12 or 13(e) for a court
to issue provisional or equitable remedies).

(h)ADR
Agreement and Savings Provision.

(i)The
Executive and the Company agree that this ADR Policy and Procedure shall mandatorily apply and be the sole and exclusive method
by which both the Executive and the Company are required to resolve any and all Employment-Related Disputes, to the fullest extent
permitted and not prohibited or restricted by law.

(ii)Should
any provision of this ADR Policy and Procedure be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Executive and the Company agree that
it shall be deemed to be modified so that its purpose can lawfully be effectuated and the balance of this ADR Policy and Procedure
shall remain in full force and effect. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of this ADR Policy and Procedure
shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or enforceability of any provision of the Agreement shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the provisions of this Section 13.

    	11

    	 

    

14.INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company shall indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses
incurred or sustained by the Executive, (including, to the extent permitted therein, the cost of legal counsel selected and retained
by the Executive) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the
Executive being or having been an officer, director, or employee of the Company other than any action, suit or proceeding commenced
by the Executive or by the Company arising out of or in connection with an Employment-Related Dispute.

15.COOPERATION
IN FUTURE MATTERS. The Executive hereby agrees that for a period of eighteen (18) months following his termination of employment
he shall cooperate fully with the Company’s reasonable requests relating to matters that pertain to the Executive’s
employment by the Company, including, without limitation, providing information or limited consultation as to such matters, participating
in legal proceedings, investigations or audits on behalf of the Company, or otherwise making himself reasonably available to the
Company for other related purposes. Any such cooperation shall be performed at scheduled times taking into consideration the Executive’s
other commitments, and the Executive shall be compensated at a reasonable hourly or per diem rate to be agreed upon by the Parties.
The Executive shall not be required to perform such cooperation to the extent it conflicts with any requirements of exclusivity
of services for another employer or otherwise, nor in any manner that in the good faith belief of the Executive would conflict
with his rights under or ability to enforce this Agreement.

16.GENERAL.

(c)Waivers.

for more than one such counterpart.

(e)Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company’s successors and the Executive’s personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. This Agreement shall not be assignable
by the Executive, it being understood and agreed that this is a contract for the Executive’s personal services. This Agreement
shall not be assignable by the Company, except that the Company shall assign it in connection with a transaction involving the
succession by a third party to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets (whether direct or indirect
and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise). When assigned to a successor, the assignee shall assume

described in the immediately preceding sentence or that becomes bound by this Agreement by operation of law.

of New York.

    	13

    	 

    

(h)Construction.
The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and
no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. The headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and shall not affect its meaning or construction. Whenever any word is used herein in one gender, it shall be
construed to include the other gender, and any word used in the singular shall be construed to include the plural in any case
in which it would apply and vice versa.

(i)Payments
and Exercise of Rights after Death. Any amounts payable hereunder after the Executive’s death shall be paid to the Executive’s
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, whether received as a designated beneficiary or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The Executive may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries for all purposes of this Agreement, and may change at any time such
designation, by notice to the Company making specific reference to this Agreement. If no designated beneficiary survives the Executive
or the Executive fails to designate a beneficiary for purposes of this Agreement prior to his death, all amounts thereafter due
hereunder shall be paid, as and when payable, to his spouse, if she survives the Executive, and otherwise to his estate.

(j)Consultation
with Counsel. The Executive acknowledges that he has had a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel or other
advisers of his own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Agreement, that the Company has not
made any representations or warranties to the Executive concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Agreement
other than as are reflected in this Agreement, and that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement is knowing and voluntary.

(k)Withholding.
Any payments provided for in this Agreement shall be paid net of any applicable income tax withholding required under federal,
state or local law.

(l)Section
409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, in the event of any
interpretive issues, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed as of his or her termination date to be a “Specified Employee”
within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit
that is required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided
prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of his or her “separation
from service” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A) or (ii) the date of his death (the “Delay Period”).
Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this paragraph (whether they would have
otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive
in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the
normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(m)Survival.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
and 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

dated as of __________, 2012, that provides for certain compensation and severance amounts upon his termination of employment and
to which this form of General Release and Waiver Agreement is appended and made a part thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Executive

of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, against
them which the Executive or any of his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (“Executive
Persons”) ever had, now has or at any time hereafter may have, own or hold by reason of any matter, fact, or cause
whatsoever from the beginning of time up to and including the effective date of this General Release (hereinafter referred to
as the “Executive’s Claims”), including without limitation: (i) any claims arising out of or related to any
federal, state and/or local labor or civil rights laws including, without limitation, the federal Civil Rights Acts of 1866,
1871, 1964 and 1991, the Rehabilitation Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, the Age Discrimination in Employment

(b)The
Executive acknowledges that he is aware that he may later discover facts in addition to or different from those which he now knows
or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Release, but it is his intention to fully and finally forever
settle and release any and all matters, disputes, and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, which now exist,
may later exist or may previously have existed between himself and the Releasees or any of them, and that in furtherance of this
intention, the Executive’s general release given herein shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete general release
notwithstanding discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.

(c)Executive
represents that he has not filed or permitted to be filed and will not file against the Releasees, any claim, complaints, charges,
arbitration, or lawsuits and covenants and agrees that he will not seek or be entitled to any personal recovery in any court or
before any governmental agency, arbitrator or self-regulatory body against any of the Releasees arising out of any matters set
forth in Section 1(a) hereof. If Executive has or should file a claim, complaint, charge, grievance, arbitration, lawsuit
or similar action, he agrees to remove, dismiss or take similar action to eliminate such claim, complaint, charge, grievance, arbitration,
lawsuit or similar action within five (5) days of signing this Termination Release.

(d)Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Termination Release is not intended to interfere with Executive’s right to file a charge with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “EEOC”) in connection with any claim he believes
he may have against the Company. However, Executive hereby agrees to waive the right to recover money damages in any proceeding
he may bring before the EEOC or any other similar body or in any proceeding brought by the EEOC or any other similar body on his
behalf. This General Release does not release, waive or give up any claim for workers’ compensation benefits, indemnification
rights, vested retirement or welfare benefits he is entitled to under the terms of the Company’s retirement and welfare benefit
plans or indemnification arrangements, as in effect from time to time, any right to unemployment compensation that Executive may
have, or his right to enforce his rights under the Agreement.

2.CONFIRMATION
OF OBLIGATIONS. Executive hereby confirms and agrees to his continuing obligation under the Agreement after termination of employment
not to directly or indirectly disclose to third parties or use any Confidential Information (as defined in the Agreement) that
he may have acquired, learned, developed, or created by reason of his employment with the Company.

3.CONFIDENTIALITY;
NONCOMPETITION; NONSOLICITATION.

(a)Executive
hereby confirms and agrees to his confidentiality, nonsolicitation and non-competition obligations pursuant to the Agreement and
his duty of loyalty and fiduciary duty to the Company under applicable statutory or common law.

(b)The
Executive and the Company each agree to keep the terms of this General Release confidential and shall not disclose the fact or
terms to third parties, except as required by applicable law or regulation or by court order or, as to the Company, in the normal
course of its business; provided, however, that Executive may disclose the terms of this General Release to members of his immediate
family, his attorney or counselor, and persons assisting him in financial planning or tax preparation, provided these people agree
to keep such information confidential.

4.NO
DISPARAGEMENT. Each of the Executive and the Company agree not to disparage the other, including making any statement or comments
or engaging in any conduct that is disparaging toward the Company (including the Releasees and each of them) or the Executive,
as the case may be, whether directly or indirectly, by name or innuendo; provided, however, that nothing in this General Release
shall restrict communications protected as privileged under federal or state law to testimony or communications ordered and required
by a court or an administrative agency of competent jurisdiction.

5.REMEDIES
FOR BREACH. In the event that either Party breaches, violates, fails or refuses to comply with any of the provisions, terms or
conditions or any of the warranties or representations of this Agreement (the “Breach”), in its sole discretion the
non-breaching Party shall recover against the breaching Party damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accruing to
the non-breaching Party as a consequence of the Breach. Regardless of and in addition to any right to damages the non-breaching
Party may have, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 hereof
are material and critical terms of this Agreement, and the Executive agrees that, if he breaches any of the provisions of these
paragraphs, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against the Executive regardless of and in addition to any other
remedies which are available.

6.NO
RELIANCE. Neither the Executive nor the Company is relying on any representations made by the other (including any of the Releasees)
regarding this General Release or the implication thereof.
