NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
ALIGNMENT OF INTEREST PROGRAM

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [________], 2021 (the “Grant Date”) by and between NETSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and [___________] (the “Participant”), pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and the Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to Eligible Recipients; 
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Program pursuant to which Eligible Recipients may elect to receive Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash compensation, as determined by the Administrator; and
WHEREAS, the Participant (i) is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan and (ii) has made a valid election to reduce compensation in accordance with Section 4 of the Program, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest of the Company to grant this Award to the Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan, and in the Program, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Grant and Vesting of Awarded RSUs.
(a)Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with [_____] Restricted Stock Units (the “Awarded RSUs”). Each Awarded RSU is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Awarded RSU vests.
(b)Vesting. The Awarded RSUs shall vest in substantially equal annual installments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each such anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of the Awarded RSUs may also vest under the circumstances described in Section 3(c).
2.Rights as a Stockholder. 
1

(a)Unless and until an Awarded RSU has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Awarded RSU or that Share.
(b)If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Awarded RSUs credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Awarded RSUs awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Awarded RSUs are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Awarded RSUs are forfeited). 
3.Termination of Service.
(a)Any Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(c), in the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the Awarded RSUs that is not then vested shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service. 
(b)Termination for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause, the entire Award of Awarded RSUs, whether or not then vested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(c)Termination without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or, to the extent that the Participant is subject to a written employment agreement that contains a definition of Good Reason, by the Participant for Good Reason, the Awarded RSUs shall immediately vest in full.
4.Timing and Form of Payment.
Once an Awarded RSU vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Awarded RSU. Shares will be credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5.Tax Withholding.
The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof, cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Awarded RSUs in an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of 
2

Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. The Participant shall be entitled to satisfy the amount of any such required tax withholding by having the Company withhold from the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restrictive Stock Units a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholdings.
6.Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.
i.Unauthorized Disclosure. The Participant agrees and understands that in the course of the Participant’s Service, the Participant has been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “Group”), including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Group and other forms of information considered by the Group to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Participant’s violation of this Section 6(a) or disclosure by a third party who is known by the Participant to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.  The Participant agrees that at all times during the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with the Participant’s Service, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Participant shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Participant’s Service, the Participant shall promptly supply to the Company all property, computers, tablets, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards (including credit cards), surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Participant during or prior to the Participant’s Service, and any copies thereof in the Participant’s (or reasonably capable of being reduced to his or her) possession; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Participant from retaining and utilizing: (i) documents relating to the Participant’s personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; (ii) documents relating to the Participant’s personal tax obligations; (iii) the Participant’s desk calendar, rolodex, and the like; and (iv) such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Participant and any member of 
3

the Group, the Participant shall be entitled to provide, without breaching this Agreement or any such other agreement and without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental or administrative authorities regarding possible violations of law or otherwise testify or participate in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or administrative authorities, and for purpose of clarity, the Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.
ii.Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, and in further consideration of the Participant’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Group, the Participant agrees that the Participant shall not, during the Restriction Period (as defined below), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of the limited partnership interest in any private equity fund, hedge fund or venture capital fund or any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 6(b), so long as the Participant does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such fund or issuer other than rights as a limited partner or stockholder thereof.  For purposes of this Section 6(b), “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any enterprise (including, but not limited to, any enterprise related to the business of acquiring, developing, investing, structuring or managing retail net lease real estate properties and any other lines of business any member of the Group is participating in, or has taken substantive steps towards participating in, as of the date hereof) that is competitive with the business conducted by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures during the Participant’s Service, within the United States and anywhere outside the United States where the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures operated during the Participant’s Service.  The “Restriction Period” shall mean the period of the Participant’s Service and for twelve (12) months following the termination thereof; provided, however, that, unless the Participant is or becomes entitled to accelerated vesting of the Awarded RSUs upon termination of Service, the Restriction Period shall automatically end on the date that the Participant’s Service is terminated; provided, further, that the Company in its sole discretion may waive all or any portion of the Restriction Period.
iii.Non-Solicitation. During the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not:
1.directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of any member of the Group; or
2.induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, or licensee of the Group to cease doing business with the Group or in any way interfere with the 
4

relationship between the Group, on the one hand, and any such customer, supplier, or licensee, on the one hand.
iv.Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restriction Period (other than in connection with carrying out the Participant’s responsibilities for the Group), the Participant shall not directly or indirectly induce or solicit (or assist any Person to induce or solicit) any customer or client of any member of the Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with any member of the Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship between any member of the Group and any of their customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or licensors so as to cause harm to any member of the Group.
v.Extension of Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall be tolled with respect to Sections 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d) for any period during which the Participant is in breach of any such section.
vi.Proprietary Rights. The Participant shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by the Participant, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Participant’s Service and related to the business or activities of the Group (the “Developments”).  Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by a member of the Group, the Participant assigns and agrees to assign all of the Participant’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Participant acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company as the Participant’s employer.  Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Participant shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Group.  These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Participant’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Participant while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Participant’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  In connection with the Participant’s execution of this Agreement, the Participant has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that the Participant holds as of the date hereof.  If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Participant’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 6(f), the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Participant’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other 
5

lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 6(f) with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Participant.
vii.Other Covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any restrictive covenants to which the Participant may otherwise be subject, whether under the terms of his or her employment or services agreement or otherwise.
viii.Severability. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state or any similar subdivision in any geographic area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding sections. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.
ix.Remedies.
1.The Participant agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Group for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Participant therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Participant and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Participant, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the remedy set forth in Section 6(i)(ii) hereof.  The terms of this Section 6(i) shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Participant. The Participant and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Group because of the Participant’s access to Confidential Information and the Participant’s material participation in the operation of such businesses. 
2.In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6, (A) the Awarded RSUs (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be forfeited, (B) the Company shall be entitled to recover any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Awarded RSUs, and (C) if the Participant has previously sold any of the Shares derived from the Awarded RSUs, the Company shall also have the right to recover from the Participant the economic value thereof. 
6

7.Nontransferability of Awarded RSUs. 
The Awarded RSUs granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to a permitted transferee. 
8.Beneficiary Designation. 
The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
9.Requirements of Law. 
The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Awarded RSUs shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.  No Shares shall be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Awarded RSUs granted hereunder, if such issuance would result in a violation of applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10.No Guarantee of Continued Service. 
Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service.
11.No Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Awarded RSUs granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12.Interpretation; Construction. 
Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13.Amendments. 
7

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the unvested portion of the Awarded RSUs (but not any portion of the Awarded RSUs that has previously vested) in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting set forth in Section 1 hereof and substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant under the Awarded RSUs without the Participant’s consent. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof.  This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14.Miscellaneous.
x.Notices. All notices, requests, demands, letters, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, mailed, certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, sent by next-day or overnight mail or delivery, or sent by fax, as follows:

NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
ALIGNMENT OF INTEREST PROGRAM

1.Purpose. NETSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), established the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) in order to (a) attract, retain and motivate key Employees (including prospective Employees), Directors, and Consultants, (b) align the interests of such persons with the Company’s stockholders, and (c) promote ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. This Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”) is being adopted effective March [3], 2021 in accordance with the Plan and is intended to further the purposes of the Plan by providing incentives to Eligible Recipients to receive awards of Restricted Stock Units, thereby strengthening the commitment of such persons to the Company and its stockholders. 
 
2.Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Program.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Plan.

(a)“Compensation” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, such Participant’s annual base salary, short-term incentive compensation or other cash compensation, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, Compensation shall be considered payable with respect to a Reduction Year (as defined below) even if paid in a subsequent year, provided that it relates to such Reduction Year (e.g., short-term incentive compensation that relates to performance in the Reduction Year, the amount of which, absent an election pursuant to this Program, would otherwise be payable in the year following the Reduction Year).

(b)“Determination Date” shall mean the second business day following the release of the Company’s fourth quarter earnings for the most recently completed fiscal year, or, if such date is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately following such date. 

3.Participation. The Participants in this Program shall be the Eligible Recipients who are selected by the Committee from time to time to participate in this Program.

4.Awards. Each year, Participants may (i) elect to reduce Compensation that may be payable in cash in respect of services to be provided in the subsequent fiscal year (the “Reduction Year”) by a percentage amount, which will be applied to the issuance of an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (“Alignment RSUs”) and (ii) receive an additional Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (the “Additional RSUs,” and collectively with the Alignment RSUs, the “Awarded RSUs”) based upon a multiple (the “Vesting Multiple”) of the Alignment RSUs that corresponds to the length of the vesting period (the “Vesting Period”) selected by the Participant. 

(a)The minimum and maximum percentage of each Compensation type that a Participant may elect to be reduced and applied to Alignment RSUs shall be determined from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

(b)The length(s) of the Vesting Period that may be available for selection by the Participant, as well as the corresponding Vesting Multiple(s), shall be determined from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion.

1

(c)The amount of Compensation applied to the Alignment RSUs shall reduce the Compensation otherwise payable in cash to the Participant in respect of the Reduction Year.

(d)The number of Alignment RSUs shall be determined as of the Determination Date by dividing the amount of the Compensation that the Participant elected to be reduced for the Reduction Year by the closing price of a Share on the Determination Date, rounded to the nearest share. 

(e)The number of Awarded RSUs shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Alignment RSUs and (ii) the product of the Alignment RSUs and the Vesting Multiple, rounded to the nearest share. 

(f)The Awarded RSUs shall be delivered to each Participant as soon as administratively feasible following the Determination Date; provided, that each Participant must be an Eligible Recipient under the Plan at the date of delivery of the Award in order to receive the Awarded RSUs.

(g)Each Participant must deliver a written election notice to the Committee of Participant’s election to obtain an Award pursuant to this Program or its designee prior to the end of the last business day before the beginning of the Reduction Year; provided, that, if permitted by the Committee, (i) a Participant who becomes newly eligible to participate in the Program may make an election within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(7) and (ii) Participants may make an election with respect to performance-based compensation on or before the date that is six (6) months before the end of the applicable performance period in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(8). The election notice shall contain the percentage reduction and the Vesting Period selected by the Participant. Unless otherwise approved by the Committee, the election notice shall be irrevocable following delivery by the Participant. Election notices under this Program will not be “evergreen”; i.e., an election notice with respect to one Reduction Year will not apply to a subsequent Reduction Year, and a new election notice must be submitted in accordance with this Section 4(g) with respect to each Reduction Year for which a Participant is eligible and desires to reduce his or her Compensation.  Set forth on Exhibit A is the current form of election notice.

(h)Set forth on Exhibit B are the current items of Compensation eligible for reduction, minimum and maximum reduction percentage, Vesting Period and Vesting Multiple. 

5.Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, any unvested Awarded RSUs held by the Participant as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited. 

6.Subject to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Program and any Awarded RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Program and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and control. For the avoidance of doubt, Awarded RSUs may be issued under this Program only to the extent of the Shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan.

7.Amendments. The Committee may from time to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Program; provided, that no such action shall adversely affect Awards previously granted pursuant to this Program.

2

8.Survival. This Program shall continue in effect for so long as the Plan is in effect unless earlier terminated by the Committee.

9.Section 409A.  Payments under this Program are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and the final treasury regulations and other legally binding guidance promulgated thereunder. This Program shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. If any provision of this Program needs to be revised to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such provision or this Program shall be modified or restricted to the extent and in the manner necessary to be in compliance with such requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents guarantee that this Program complies with, or is exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of this Program to so comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

10.Governing Law. This Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.
