AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 19, 2019, is entered into by and between Plymouth
Industrial REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Jeffrey E. Witherell (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires
to employ the Executive and to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of such employment; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires
to accept employment with the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1.       Employment
Period. Subject to the provisions for earlier termination hereinafter provided, the Executive’s employment hereunder
shall be for a term (the “Employment Period”) commencing on April 28, 2017 (the “Effective Date”)
and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Initial Termination Date”). If not previously terminated, the Employment
Period shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year on the Initial Termination Date and on each subsequent anniversary
of the Initial Termination Date (each such extension, a “Renewal Term”), unless either party elects not to so
extend the Employment Period by notifying the other party, in writing, of such election (a “Non-Renewal”) at
least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the last day of the then-current Employment Period. The Executive’s employment
hereunder is terminable at will by the Company or by the Executive at any time (for any reason or for no reason), subject to the
provisions of Section 4 hereof.

2.       Terms
of Employment.

(a)       Position
and Duties.

(i)       Role
and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
shall perform such employment duties as are usual and customary for such position. The Executive shall report directly to the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). In addition, during the Employment Period, the Company shall cause
the Executive to be nominated to stand for election to the Board at any meeting of stockholders of the Company during which any
such election is held and the Executive’s term as director will expire if he is not reelected; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to cause such nomination if any of the events constituting Cause (as defined below) have
occurred and not been cured. Provided that the Executive is so nominated and is elected to the Board, the Executive hereby agrees
to serve as a member of the Board. At the Company’s request, the Executive shall serve the Company and/or its subsidiaries,
including Plymouth Industrial OP, LP, and affiliates in other capacities in addition to the foregoing, consistent with the Executive’s
position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In the event that the Executive, during the Employment Period, serves in any
one or more of such additional capacities, the Executive’s compensation shall not be increased beyond that specified in Section 2(b)
hereof. In addition, in the event the Executive’s service in one or more of such additional capacities is terminated, the
Executive’s compensation, as specified in Section 2(b) hereof, shall not be diminished or reduced in any manner as a result
of such termination provided that the Executive otherwise remains employed under the terms of this Agreement.

    1 

     

    

 

(ii)       Exclusivity.
During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive may be entitled, the
Executive agrees to devote his full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to: (A) serve on
(1) boards, committees or similar bodies of charitable or nonprofit organizations and (2) boards, committees, or similar bodies
of private or publicly traded companies with the Board’s consent, (B) fulfill limited teaching, speaking and writing
engagements, and (C) manage his personal investments, in each case, so long as such activities do not individually or in the
aggregate materially interfere or conflict with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement.

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

(b)       Compensation,
Benefits, Etc.

(i)       Base
Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) of $300,000
per annum. The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”)
and may be increased from time to time by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance
with the Company’s normal payroll practices for executive salaries generally, but no less often than monthly. The Base Salary
may be increased in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, but not reduced, and the term “Base Salary” as utilized
in this Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as so increased.

(ii)       Annual
Cash Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible to earn, for each fiscal year of the Company ending
during the Employment Period, a discretionary cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) under the Company’s
bonus plan or program applicable to senior executives. The Executive’s target Annual Bonus shall be set at one hundred percent
(100%) of the Base Salary in effect for the relevant year (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount of any Annual
Bonus shall be determined by reference to the attainment of Company performance metrics and/or individual performance objectives,
in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Payment of any Annual Bonus(es), to the extent any Annual Bonus(es)
become payable, will be contingent upon the Executive’s continued employment through the applicable payment date, which shall
occur on the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s executive officers, but in no event later than
two and a half (21⁄2) months after the close of the calendar year in which Executive’s right to the Annual Bonus is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and is intended to qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section
409A.

(iii)       Equity
Compensation. In calendar year 2019 and each calendar year of the Company during the Employment Period after 2019, the Executive
shall be eligible to receive an annual equity award pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”),
or an applicable successor incentive award plan, to be determined, in all events, by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

    2 

     

    

 

(iv)       Benefits.
During the Employment Period, the Executive (and the Executive’s spouse and/or eligible dependents to the extent provided
in the applicable plans and programs) shall be eligible to participate in and be covered under the health and welfare benefit plans
and programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of its senior executive officers from time to time, pursuant to the terms
of such plans and programs including any medical, life, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental death and dismemberment
and travel accident insurance plans and programs. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide the Executive and the
Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under its group health plans on terms no less favorable than those available
to the Company’s other executive officers; provided, however, that the Company shall determine, in
its sole discretion, whether such coverage shall be paid for by the Company (in excess of subsidies provided generally to plan
participants) if such payments by the Company would result in penalties assessed against the Company or the Executive under applicable
law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) and/or the imposition of taxes on
benefits payable under such group health plan(s). In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate
in any retirement, savings and other employee benefit plans and programs maintained from time to time by the Company for the benefit
of its senior executive officers. Nothing contained in this Section 2(b)(iv) shall create or be deemed to create any obligation
on the part of the Company to adopt or maintain any health, welfare, retirement or other benefit plan or program at any time or
to create any limitation on the Company’s ability to modify or terminate any such plan or program.

(v)       Expenses.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses
incurred by the Executive in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company provided to senior executives
of the Company.

(vi)       Fringe
Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such fringe benefits and perquisites as
are provided by the Company to its senior executives from time to time, in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures
of the Company, and shall receive such additional fringe benefits and perquisites as the Company may, in its discretion, from time-to-time
provide.

(vii)       Vacation.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the plans, policies, programs
and practices of the Company applicable to its senior executives, but in no event shall the Executive accrue less than four (4)
weeks of vacation per calendar year (pro-rated for any partial year of service); provided, however, that
the Executive shall not accrue any vacation time in excess of four (4) weeks (twenty (20) business days) (the “Accrual
Limit”), and shall cease accruing vacation time if the Executive’s accrued vacation reaches the Accrual Limit until
such time as the Executive’s accrued vacation time drops below the Accrual Limit.

    3 

     

    

 

3.       Termination
of Employment.

(a)       Death
or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment
Period. Either the Company or the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment in the event of the Executive’s
Disability during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive
has become entitled to receive benefits under an applicable Company long-term disability plan or, if no such plan covers the Executive,
Disability shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for
ninety (90) consecutive days or for a total of one hundred eighty (180) days in any twelve (12)-month period, in either case as
a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected
by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.

(b)       Termination
by the Company. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause or without
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events unless, to the extent capable of correction, the Executive fully corrects the circumstances constituting Cause within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Termination (as defined below):

(i)       the
Executive’s gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties with the Company (other than any such failure
resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after
his issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for performance is delivered to the Executive
by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not performed
his duties;

(ii)       the
Executive’s commission of an act of fraud or material dishonesty resulting in reputational, economic or financial injury
to the Company and its affiliates;

(iii)       the
Executive’s commission of, including any entry by the Executive of a guilty or no contest plea to, a felony or other crime
involving moral turpitude;

(iv)       a
material breach by the Executive of his fiduciary duty to the Company which results in reputational, economic or other injury to
the Company and its affiliates;

(v)       a
material breach by the Executive of the Company’s Code of Conduct, as amended from time to time; or

(vi)       the
Executive’s material breach of the Executive’s obligations under a written agreement between the Company and the Executive,
including, without limitation, such a breach of this Agreement.

    4 

     

    

 

(c)       Termination
by the Executive. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for any reason, including with Good Reason
or by the Executive without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any one or more of the following events without the Executive’s prior written consent, unless the Company fully corrects
the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of correction) as provided below:

(i)       a
material diminution in Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties
or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, excluding for this purpose any isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent
actions not taken in bad faith and which are remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

(ii)       the
Company’s material reduction of the Executive’s Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time;

(iii)       a
material change in the geographic location of the Principal Location which shall, in any event, include only a relocation of the
Principal Location to a place greater than (A) twenty-five (25) miles from its existing location or (B) the current distance
of the Executive’s commute from the Executive’s home residence to the current executive offices of the Company; or

(iv)       the
Company’s material breach of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive
will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (1) the Executive provides the Company with written notice setting
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed by the Executive to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days
after the date of the occurrence of any event that the Executive knows or should reasonably have known to constitute Good Reason,
(2) the Company fails to cure such acts or omissions within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice, and (3) the
effective date of the Executive’s termination for Good Reason occurs no later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of
the Company’s cure period.

(d)       Notice
of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a Notice
of Termination to the other parties hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty (30)
days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any
fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

    5 

     

    

 

(e)       Termination
of Offices and Directorships; Return of Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, unless
otherwise specified in a written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned
from all offices, directorships, and other employment positions, if any, then held with the Company, and shall take all actions
reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment
for any reason, the Executive agrees to return to the Company all documents of the Company and its affiliates (and all copies thereof)
and all other Company or Company affiliate property that the Executive has in his possession, custody or control. Such property
includes, without limitation: (i) any materials of any kind that the Executive knows contain or embody any proprietary or
confidential information of the Company or an affiliate of the Company (and all reproductions thereof), (ii) computers (including,
without limitation, laptop computers, desktop computers and similar devices) and other portable electronic devices (including,
without limitation, tablet computers), cellular phones/smartphones, credit cards, phone cards, entry cards, identification badges
and keys, and (iii) any correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals,
financial documents, or any other documents concerning the customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products and/or processes
of the Company or any of its affiliates and any information received from the Company or any of its affiliates regarding third
parties.

(f)       No
Mitigation or Offset. In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 3, the Executive
shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the Executive’s damages, and there shall be no
offset against amounts due to the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration or benefit attributable to any
subsequent employment obtained by the Executive, except as provided in Section 4(a)(iii).

4.       Obligations
of the Company upon Termination. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall
be paid, in a single lump-sum payment on the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, the aggregate amount of the
Executive’s earned but unpaid Base Salary and accrued but unpaid vacation pay through the date of such termination (the “Accrued
Obligations”).

(a)       Without
Cause, For Good Reason or Company Non-Renewal. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (x) by
the Company without Cause (other than by reason of the Executive’s Disability), (y) by the Executive for Good Reason
or (z) by reason of a Non-Renewal of the Employment Period by the Company and the Executive is willing and able, at the time
of such Non-Renewal, to continue performing services on the terms and conditions set forth herein during the Renewal Term (in any
case, a “Qualifying Termination”), then following the Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined
below) (such date, the “Date of Termination”), in each case, subject to and conditioned upon compliance with
Section 4(d) and Section 11 hereof, in addition to the Accrued Obligations:

    6 

     

    

 

(i)       Cash
Severance. The Executive shall be paid, commencing with the first calendar month after the Date of Termination, an amount equal
to three (3) times the sum of (x) the Base Salary in effect on the Date of Termination, plus (y) the average Annual Bonus
earned by the Executive for the two (2) Company fiscal years ending during the Employment Period and immediately preceding the
Company fiscal year in which such termination occurs (regardless of whether such amount was paid out on a current basis or deferred),
plus (z) the average Equity Award Value (as defined below) of any Annual Grant (as defined below) made to the Executive by
the Company during the prior two (2) fiscal years during the Employment Period. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this
Section 4(a)(i), “Annual Bonus” shall include any portion of the Executive’s Annual Bonus received in the form
of equity rather than cash.

For purposes of this Agreement,
“Equity Award Value” shall mean (x) with respect to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (each as
defined in the Plan), the grant date fair value, as computed in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation
— Stock Compensation (or any successor accounting standard), and (y) with respect to Awards (as defined in
the Plan) other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (and excluding cash Awards under the Plan), the product of (1) the
number of shares or units subject to such Award, times (2) the “fair market value” of a share of the REIT’s
common stock on the date of grant as determined under the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual Grant”
shall mean the grant of an equity-based Award that constitutes a component of a given year’s annual compensation package
and shall not include any isolated, one-off or non-recurring grant outside of the Executive’s annual compensation package,
such as (but not limited to) the Restricted Stock Award granted pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, an initial hiring Award,
a retention Award, an Award that relates to multi-year or other long-term performance, an outperformance Award or other similar
award, in any event, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

(ii)       Equity
Award Acceleration. All outstanding equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately become
fully vested and, to the extent applicable, exercisable. For the avoidance of doubt, all such equity awards shall remain outstanding
and eligible to vest following the Date of Termination and shall actually vest and become exercisable (if applicable) and non-forfeitable
upon the effectiveness of the Release.

(iii)       COBRA.
During the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Date of Termination
(the “COBRA Period”), subject to the Executive’s valid election to continue healthcare coverage under
Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder (together, the “Code”), the Company
shall continue to provide the Executive cash reimbursement of the Executive’s COBRA premiums (or an amount equal to Executive’s
COBRA premiums) (sufficient to cover full family health care) if the Executive elects such COBRA coverage; provided, however,
that any payments or reimbursements for such COBRA premiums that are subject to Section 409A will be made in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) (or any similar or successor provisions). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company’s
obligation to reimburse described in the preceding sentence shall cease on the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage
under another group health plan offered by a new employer of the Executive or covered under a group health plan of the employer
of Executive’s spouse, in either case, which does not impose pre-existing condition limitations on the Executive’s
coverage. Nothing herein shall be construed to extend the period of time over which COBRA reimbursement shall be provided to the
Executive or the Executive’s dependents beyond that mandated by law.

    7 

     

    

 

(b)       Death
or Disability. Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, if the Executive incurs a Separation from Service (as defined below) by reason
of the Executive’s death or Disability during the Employment Period, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, all outstanding
equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable.

(c)       For
Cause, Without Good Reason or Other Terminations. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the
Executive terminates the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, or the Executive’s employment terminates for any
other reason not enumerated in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) hereof, in any case, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to
the Executive the Accrued Obligations in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination (or by such earlier date as
may be required by applicable law), and the Executive shall have no further rights hereunder.

(d)       Six-Month
Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including, without limitation,
any severance payments or benefits payable under Section 4 hereof, shall be paid to the Executive during the six (6)-month period
following the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A, a “Separation
from Service”) if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would
be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result
of the previous sentence, then on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or such earlier
date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result
of the Executive’s death), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would
have otherwise been payable to the Executive during such period.

(e)       Exclusive
Benefits. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4 and subject to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled
to any additional payments or benefits upon or in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment.

5.       Non-Exclusivity
of Rights. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,
practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable
in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

    8 

     

    

 

6.       Excess
Parachute Payments, Limitation on Payments.

(a)       Best
Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be
received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of the Executive’s
employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and
benefits, including the payments and benefits under Section 4 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”)
would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”),
then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other
plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments under this Agreement shall first be reduced, and the noncash severance
payments hereunder shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to
the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount
of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized
deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount
of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on
such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments
and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total
Payments).

(b)       Certain
Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax,
(i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in
such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into
account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of an independent,
nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute
a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A)
of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion
of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B)
of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable
compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall
be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

    9 

     

    

 

7.       Confidential
Information and Non-Solicitation.

(a)       The
Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or
data relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, which shall have been obtained by the Executive in connection
with the Executive’s employment by the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the
Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment
with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by
law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, to anyone other than the Company and those
designated by it; provided, however, that if the Executive receives actual notice that the Executive is
or may be required by law or legal process to communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, the Executive shall
promptly so notify the Company.

(b)       While
employed by the Company and, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not directly
or indirectly solicit, induce, or encourage any employee or consultant of any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
to terminate their employment or other relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or to cease to render
services to any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with
any such person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual
or entity. During his employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not use any trade secret of the Company or
its subsidiaries or affiliates to solicit, induce, or encourage any customer, client, vendor, or other party doing business with
any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to terminate its relationship therewith or transfer its business
from any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with any such
person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or
entity.

(c)       Recognition
of the facts that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by the Executive of his obligations under
Sections 7(a) and (b) hereof, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would
not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, the Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that in the event of such breach,
or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to specific
performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the
violation or threatened violation of such obligations by the Executive.

8.       Representations.
The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive is entering into this Agreement voluntarily
and that the performance of the Executive’s obligations hereunder will not violate any agreement between the Executive and
any other person, firm, organization or other entity, and (b) the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with
any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer
or other party that would be violated by the Executive’s entering into this Agreement and/or providing services to the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

    10 

     

    

 

9.       Successors.

(a)       This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(b)       This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(c)       The
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company”
shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees
to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

10.       Payment
of Financial Obligations. The payment or provision to the Executive by the Company of any remuneration, benefits or other financial
obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate thereof in such manner
as such entities determine in order to reflect the services provided by the Executive to such entities.

11.       Release.
Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Accrued Obligations
shall only be payable if the Executive delivers to the Company an original, signed release of claims of the Executive occurring
up to the release date, in a form substantially the same as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”).
The Company shall deliver the Release to the Executive within five (5) calendar days of the date Executive’s employment terminates
and the Executive must deliver to the Company and not revoke an executed and enforceable Release no later than twenty-one (21)
calendar days (or to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) calendar days) after the date the Executive’s employment
terminates (the “Release Deadline”). Payment of the amounts described in Section 4 shall commence no earlier
than the date on which the Executive delivers to the Company and does not revoke an executed and enforceable release as described
herein. Payment of any severance or benefits that are not exempt from Section 409A shall be delayed until the Release Deadline,
irrespective of when the Executive executes the Release; provided, however, that where the Executive’s termination
of employment and the Release Deadline occur within the same calendar year, the payment may be made up to thirty (30) calendar
days prior to the Release Deadline, and provided further that where the Executive’s termination of employment and
the Release Deadline occur in two separate calendar years, payment may not be made before the later of January 1 of the second
year or the date that is thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Release Deadline. As part of the Release, the Executive shall affirm
that the Executive (i) has advised the Company in writing, of any facts that the Executive is aware of that constitute or might
constitute a violation of any ethical, legal, or contractual standards or obligations of the Company or any affiliate, and (ii)
is not aware of any existing or threatened claims, charges, or lawsuits that the Executive has not disclosed to the Company.

(iii)       To
the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to the Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation
to the Executive to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed
reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount
of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment

the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

Agreement. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, together with the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, constitutes the final,
complete and exclusive agreement between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.

relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected,

and discharges the Releasees from any and all claims as stated above that the Executive could make on the Executive’s own
behalf or on behalf of others, but also those claims that might be made by any other person or organization on the Executive’s

of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s charter or bylaws, as either may be amended from time to time,
the Equity Plan and any agreements thereunder, or under the Indemnification Agreement.

any claims against the Company not now known by the Executive to exist.

have against the Executive as of the date hereof. The Company acknowledges that the release granted by the Executive in Paragraph

of the Executive. The Executive represents that the Executive has been given an adequate opportunity to advise the Company’s

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 19, 2019, is entered into by and between Plymouth
Industrial REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Pendleton P. White, Jr. (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires
to employ the Executive and to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of such employment; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires
to accept employment with the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1.       Employment
Period. Subject to the provisions for earlier termination hereinafter provided, the Executive’s employment hereunder
shall be for a term (the “Employment Period”) commencing on April 28, 2017 (the “Effective Date”)
and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Initial Termination Date”). If not previously terminated, the Employment
Period shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year on the Initial Termination Date and on each subsequent anniversary
of the Initial Termination Date (each such extension, a “Renewal Term”), unless either party elects not to so
extend the Employment Period by notifying the other party, in writing, of such election (a “Non-Renewal”) at
least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the last day of the then-current Employment Period. The Executive’s employment
hereunder is terminable at will by the Company or by the Executive at any time (for any reason or for no reason), subject to the
provisions of Section 4 hereof.

2.       Terms
of Employment.

(a)       Position
and Duties.

(i)       Role
and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as President and Chief Investment Officer of
the Company, and shall perform such employment duties as are usual and customary for such position. The Executive shall report
directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). In addition, during the Employment Period,
the Company shall cause the Executive to be nominated to stand for election to the Board at any meeting of stockholders of the
Company during which any such election is held and the Executive’s term as director will expire if he is not reelected; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to cause such nomination if any of the events constituting Cause (as defined below) have
occurred and not been cured. Provided that the Executive is so nominated and is elected to the Board, the Executive hereby agrees
to serve as a member of the Board. At the Company’s request, the Executive shall serve the Company and/or its subsidiaries,
including Plymouth Industrial OP, LP, and affiliates in other capacities in addition to the foregoing, consistent with the Executive’s
position as President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company. In the event that the Executive, during the Employment Period,
serves in any one or more of such additional capacities, the Executive’s compensation shall not be increased beyond that
specified in Section 2(b) hereof. In addition, in the event the Executive’s service in one or more of such additional
capacities is terminated, the Executive’s compensation, as specified in Section 2(b) hereof, shall not be diminished or reduced
in any manner as a result of such termination provided that the Executive otherwise remains employed under the terms of this Agreement.

    1 

     

    

 

(ii)       Exclusivity.
During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive may be entitled, the
Executive agrees to devote his full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to: (A) serve on
(1) boards, committees or similar bodies of charitable or nonprofit organizations and (2) boards, committees, or similar bodies
of private or publicly traded companies with the Board’s consent, (B) fulfill limited teaching, speaking and writing
engagements, and (C) manage his personal investments, in each case, so long as such activities do not individually or in the
aggregate materially interfere or conflict with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement.

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

(b)       Compensation,
Benefits, Etc.

(i)       Base
Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) of $250,000
per annum. The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”)
and may be increased from time to time by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance
with the Company’s normal payroll practices for executive salaries generally, but no less often than monthly. The Base Salary
may be increased in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, but not reduced, and the term “Base Salary” as utilized
in this Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as so increased.

(ii)       Annual
Cash Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible to earn, for each fiscal year of the Company ending
during the Employment Period, a discretionary cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) under the Company’s
bonus plan or program applicable to senior executives. The Executive’s target Annual Bonus shall be set at one hundred percent
(100%) of the Base Salary in effect for the relevant year (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount of any Annual
Bonus shall be determined by reference to the attainment of Company performance metrics and/or individual performance objectives,
in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Payment of any Annual Bonus(es), to the extent any Annual Bonus(es)
become payable, will be contingent upon the Executive’s continued employment through the applicable payment date, which shall
occur on the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s executive officers, but in no event later than
two and a half (21⁄2) months after the close of the calendar year in which Executive’s right to the Annual Bonus is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and is intended to qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section
409A.

(iii)       Equity
Compensation. In calendar year 2019 and each calendar year of the Company during the Employment Period after 2019, the Executive
shall be eligible to receive an annual equity award pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”),
or an applicable successor incentive award plan, to be determined, in all events, by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

    2 

     

    

 

(iv)       Benefits.
During the Employment Period, the Executive (and the Executive’s spouse and/or eligible dependents to the extent provided
in the applicable plans and programs) shall be eligible to participate in and be covered under the health and welfare benefit plans
and programs maintained by the Company for the benefit of its senior executive officers from time to time, pursuant to the terms
of such plans and programs including any medical, life, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental death and dismemberment
and travel accident insurance plans and programs. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide the Executive and the
Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under its group health plans on terms no less favorable than those available
to the Company’s other executive officers; provided, however, that the Company shall determine, in
its sole discretion, whether such coverage shall be paid for by the Company (in excess of subsidies provided generally to plan
participants) if such payments by the Company would result in penalties assessed against the Company or the Executive under applicable
law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) and/or the imposition of taxes on
benefits payable under such group health plan(s). In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate
in any retirement, savings and other employee benefit plans and programs maintained from time to time by the Company for the benefit
of its senior executive officers. Nothing contained in this Section 2(b)(iv) shall create or be deemed to create any obligation
on the part of the Company to adopt or maintain any health, welfare, retirement or other benefit plan or program at any time or
to create any limitation on the Company’s ability to modify or terminate any such plan or program.

(v)       Expenses.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses
incurred by the Executive in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company provided to senior executives
of the Company.

(vi)       Fringe
Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive such fringe benefits and perquisites as
are provided by the Company to its senior executives from time to time, in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures
of the Company, and shall receive such additional fringe benefits and perquisites as the Company may, in its discretion, from time-to-time
provide.

(vii)       Vacation.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the plans, policies, programs
and practices of the Company applicable to its senior executives, but in no event shall the Executive accrue less than four (4)
weeks of vacation per calendar year (pro-rated for any partial year of service); provided, however, that
the Executive shall not accrue any vacation time in excess of four (4) weeks (twenty (20) business days) (the “Accrual
Limit”), and shall cease accruing vacation time if the Executive’s accrued vacation reaches the Accrual Limit until
such time as the Executive’s accrued vacation time drops below the Accrual Limit.

    3 

     

    

 

3.       Termination
of Employment.

(a)       Death
or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment
Period. Either the Company or the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment in the event of the Executive’s
Disability during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive
has become entitled to receive benefits under an applicable Company long-term disability plan or, if no such plan covers the Executive,
Disability shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for
ninety (90) consecutive days or for a total of one hundred eighty (180) days in any twelve (12)-month period, in either case as
a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected
by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.

(b)       Termination
by the Company. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause or without
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events unless, to the extent capable of correction, the Executive fully corrects the circumstances constituting Cause within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Termination (as defined below):

(i)       the
Executive’s gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties with the Company (other than any such failure
resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after
his issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for performance is delivered to the Executive
by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not performed
his duties;

(ii)       the
Executive’s commission of an act of fraud or material dishonesty resulting in reputational, economic or financial injury
to the Company and its affiliates;

(iii)       the
Executive’s commission of, including any entry by the Executive of a guilty or no contest plea to, a felony or other crime
involving moral turpitude;

(iv)       a
material breach by the Executive of his fiduciary duty to the Company which results in reputational, economic or other injury to
the Company and its affiliates;

(v)       a
material breach by the Executive of the Company’s Code of Conduct, as amended from time to time; or

(vi)       the
Executive’s material breach of the Executive’s obligations under a written agreement between the Company and the Executive,
including, without limitation, such a breach of this Agreement.

    4 

     

    

 

(c)       Termination
by the Executive. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for any reason, including with Good Reason
or by the Executive without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any one or more of the following events without the Executive’s prior written consent, unless the Company fully corrects
the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of correction) as provided below:

(i)       a
material diminution in Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties
or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, excluding for this purpose any isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent
actions not taken in bad faith and which are remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

(ii)       the
Company’s material reduction of the Executive’s Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time;

(iii)       a
material change in the geographic location of the Principal Location which shall, in any event, include only a relocation of the
Principal Location to a place greater than (A) twenty-five (25) miles from its existing location or (B) the current distance
of the Executive’s commute from the Executive’s home residence to the current executive offices of the Company; or

(iv)       the
Company’s material breach of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive
will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (1) the Executive provides the Company with written notice setting
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed by the Executive to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days
after the date of the occurrence of any event that the Executive knows or should reasonably have known to constitute Good Reason,
(2) the Company fails to cure such acts or omissions within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice, and (3) the
effective date of the Executive’s termination for Good Reason occurs no later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of
the Company’s cure period.

(d)       Notice
of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a Notice
of Termination to the other parties hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty (30)
days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any
fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

    5 

     

    

 

(e)       Termination
of Offices and Directorships; Return of Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, unless
otherwise specified in a written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned
from all offices, directorships, and other employment positions, if any, then held with the Company, and shall take all actions
reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment
for any reason, the Executive agrees to return to the Company all documents of the Company and its affiliates (and all copies thereof)
and all other Company or Company affiliate property that the Executive has in his possession, custody or control. Such property
includes, without limitation: (i) any materials of any kind that the Executive knows contain or embody any proprietary or
confidential information of the Company or an affiliate of the Company (and all reproductions thereof), (ii) computers (including,
without limitation, laptop computers, desktop computers and similar devices) and other portable electronic devices (including,
without limitation, tablet computers), cellular phones/smartphones, credit cards, phone cards, entry cards, identification badges
and keys, and (iii) any correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals,
financial documents, or any other documents concerning the customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products and/or processes
of the Company or any of its affiliates and any information received from the Company or any of its affiliates regarding third
parties.

(f)       No
Mitigation or Offset. In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 3, the Executive
shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the Executive’s damages, and there shall be no
offset against amounts due to the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration or benefit attributable to any
subsequent employment obtained by the Executive, except as provided in Section 4(a)(iii).

4.       Obligations
of the Company upon Termination. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall
be paid, in a single lump-sum payment on the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, the aggregate amount of the
Executive’s earned but unpaid Base Salary and accrued but unpaid vacation pay through the date of such termination (the “Accrued
Obligations”).

(a)       Without
Cause, For Good Reason or Company Non-Renewal. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (x) by
the Company without Cause (other than by reason of the Executive’s Disability), (y) by the Executive for Good Reason
or (z) by reason of a Non-Renewal of the Employment Period by the Company and the Executive is willing and able, at the time
of such Non-Renewal, to continue performing services on the terms and conditions set forth herein during the Renewal Term (in any
case, a “Qualifying Termination”), then following the Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined
below) (such date, the “Date of Termination”), in each case, subject to and conditioned upon compliance with
Section 4(d) and Section 11 hereof, in addition to the Accrued Obligations:

    6 

     

    

 

(i)       Cash
Severance. The Executive shall be paid, commencing with the first calendar month after the Date of Termination, an amount
equal to  two (2) times the sum of (x) the Base Salary in effect on the Date of Termination, plus (y) the average
Annual Bonus earned by the Executive for the two (2) Company fiscal years ending during the Employment Period and immediately
preceding the Company fiscal year in which such termination occurs (regardless of whether such amount was paid out on a
current basis or deferred), plus (z) the average Equity Award Value (as defined below) of any Annual Grant (as defined
below) made to the Executive by the Company during the prior two (2) fiscal years during the Employment Period. For the
avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 4(a)(i), “Annual Bonus” shall include any portion of the
Executive’s Annual Bonus received in the form of equity rather than cash.

For purposes of this Agreement,
“Equity Award Value” shall mean (x) with respect to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (each as
defined in the Plan), the grant date fair value, as computed in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation
— Stock Compensation (or any successor accounting standard), and (y) with respect to Awards (as defined in
the Plan) other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (and excluding cash Awards under the Plan), the product of (1) the
number of shares or units subject to such Award, times (2) the “fair market value” of a share of the REIT’s
common stock on the date of grant as determined under the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual Grant”
shall mean the grant of an equity-based Award that constitutes a component of a given year’s annual compensation package
and shall not include any isolated, one-off or non-recurring grant outside of the Executive’s annual compensation package,
such as (but not limited to) the Restricted Stock Award granted pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, an initial hiring Award,
a retention Award, an Award that relates to multi-year or other long-term performance, an outperformance Award or other similar
award, in any event, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

(ii)       Equity
Award Acceleration. All outstanding equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately become
fully vested and, to the extent applicable, exercisable. For the avoidance of doubt, all such equity awards shall remain outstanding
and eligible to vest following the Date of Termination and shall actually vest and become exercisable (if applicable) and non-forfeitable
upon the effectiveness of the Release.

(iii)       COBRA.
During the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Date of Termination
(the “COBRA Period”), subject to the Executive’s valid election to continue healthcare coverage under
Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder (together, the “Code”), the Company
shall continue to provide the Executive cash reimbursement of the Executive’s COBRA premiums (or an amount equal to Executive’s
COBRA premiums) (sufficient to cover full family health care) if the Executive elects such COBRA coverage; provided, however,
that any payments or reimbursements for such COBRA premiums that are subject to Section 409A will be made in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) (or any similar or successor provisions). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company’s
obligation to reimburse described in the preceding sentence shall cease on the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage
under another group health plan offered by a new employer of the Executive or covered under a group health plan of the employer
of Executive’s spouse, in either case, which does not impose pre-existing condition limitations on the Executive’s
coverage. Nothing herein shall be construed to extend the period of time over which COBRA reimbursement shall be provided to the
Executive or the Executive’s dependents beyond that mandated by law.

    7 

     

    

 

(b)       Death
or Disability. Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, if the Executive incurs a Separation from Service (as defined below) by reason
of the Executive’s death or Disability during the Employment Period, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, all outstanding
equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable.

(c)       For
Cause, Without Good Reason or Other Terminations. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the
Executive terminates the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, or the Executive’s employment terminates for any
other reason not enumerated in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) hereof, in any case, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to
the Executive the Accrued Obligations in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination (or by such earlier date as
may be required by applicable law), and the Executive shall have no further rights hereunder.

(d)       Six-Month
Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including, without limitation,
any severance payments or benefits payable under Section 4 hereof, shall be paid to the Executive during the six (6)-month period
following the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A, a “Separation
from Service”) if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would
be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result
of the previous sentence, then on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or such earlier
date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result
of the Executive’s death), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would
have otherwise been payable to the Executive during such period.

(e)       Exclusive
Benefits. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4 and subject to Section 6 hereof, the Executive shall not be entitled
to any additional payments or benefits upon or in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment.

5.       Non-Exclusivity
of Rights. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,
practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable
in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

    8 

     

    

 

6.       Excess
Parachute Payments, Limitation on Payments.

(a)       Best
Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be
received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of the Executive’s
employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and
benefits, including the payments and benefits under Section 4 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”)
would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”),
then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other
plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments under this Agreement shall first be reduced, and the noncash severance
payments hereunder shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to
the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount
of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized
deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount
of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on
such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments
and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total
Payments).

(b)       Certain
Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax,
(i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in
such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into
account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of an independent,
nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute
a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A)
of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion
of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B)
of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable
compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall
be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

    9 

     

    

 

7.       Confidential
Information and Non-Solicitation.

(a)       The
Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or
data relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, which shall have been obtained by the Executive in connection
with the Executive’s employment by the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the
Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment
with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by
law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, to anyone other than the Company and those
designated by it; provided, however, that if the Executive receives actual notice that the Executive is
or may be required by law or legal process to communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, the Executive shall
promptly so notify the Company.

(b)       While
employed by the Company and, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not directly
or indirectly solicit, induce, or encourage any employee or consultant of any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
to terminate their employment or other relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or to cease to render
services to any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with
any such person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual
or entity. During his employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not use any trade secret of the Company or
its subsidiaries or affiliates to solicit, induce, or encourage any customer, client, vendor, or other party doing business with
any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to terminate its relationship therewith or transfer its business
from any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with any such
person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or
entity.

(c)       Recognition
of the facts that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by the Executive of his obligations under
Sections 7(a) and (b) hereof, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would
not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, the Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that in the event of such breach,
or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to specific
performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the
violation or threatened violation of such obligations by the Executive.

8.       Representations.
The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive is entering into this Agreement voluntarily
and that the performance of the Executive’s obligations hereunder will not violate any agreement between the Executive and
any other person, firm, organization or other entity, and (b) the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with
any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer
or other party that would be violated by the Executive’s entering into this Agreement and/or providing services to the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

    10 

     

    

 

9.       Successors.

(a)       This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(b)       This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(c)       The
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company”
shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees
to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

10.       Payment
of Financial Obligations. The payment or provision to the Executive by the Company of any remuneration, benefits or other financial
obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate thereof in such manner
as such entities determine in order to reflect the services provided by the Executive to such entities.

11.       Release.
Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Accrued Obligations
shall only be payable if the Executive delivers to the Company an original, signed release of claims of the Executive occurring
up to the release date, in a form substantially the same as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”).
The Company shall deliver the Release to the Executive within five (5) calendar days of the date Executive’s employment terminates
and the Executive must deliver to the Company and not revoke an executed and enforceable Release no later than twenty-one (21)
calendar days (or to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) calendar days) after the date the Executive’s employment
terminates (the “Release Deadline”). Payment of the amounts described in Section 4 shall commence no earlier
than the date on which the Executive delivers to the Company and does not revoke an executed and enforceable release as described
herein. Payment of any severance or benefits that are not exempt from Section 409A shall be delayed until the Release Deadline,
irrespective of when the Executive executes the Release; provided, however, that where the Executive’s termination
of employment and the Release Deadline occur within the same calendar year, the payment may be made up to thirty (30) calendar
days prior to the Release Deadline, and provided further that where the Executive’s termination of employment and
the Release Deadline occur in two separate calendar years, payment may not be made before the later of January 1 of the second
year or the date that is thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Release Deadline. As part of the Release, the Executive shall affirm
that the Executive (i) has advised the Company in writing, of any facts that the Executive is aware of that constitute or might
constitute a violation of any ethical, legal, or contractual standards or obligations of the Company or any affiliate, and (ii)
is not aware of any existing or threatened claims, charges, or lawsuits that the Executive has not disclosed to the Company.

    11 

     

    

 

12.       Miscellaneous.

(a)       Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without reference
to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force
or effect.

by the addressee.

(c)       Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that any
transfer or deemed transfer of funds hereunder is likely to be construed as a personal loan prohibited by Section 13(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”),
then such transfer or deemed transfer shall not be made to the extent necessary or appropriate so as not to violate the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d)       Section
409A of the Code.

(i)       To
the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury
regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (together, “Section 409A”).

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, if the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section
409A, the Company shall work in good faith with the Executive to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company
determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, including, without limitation, actions
intended to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A, and/or (ii) comply
with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that this Section 12(d) shall not create an obligation
on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Company
have any liability for failing to do so.

    12 

     

    

 

(ii)       Any
right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
To the extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be deemed
“nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and Section 4(d) hereof to the extent provided in the
exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision
of Section 409A.

(iii)       To
the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to the Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation
to the Executive to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed
reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount
of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment
or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and the Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

(e)       Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement.

(f)       Withholding.
The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(g)       No
Waiver. The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement
or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of
the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

(h)       Entire
Agreement. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, together with the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, constitutes the final,
complete and exclusive agreement between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(i)       Amendment.
