following an In-Kind Distribution, iStar, as agent for the iStar Group Holders, may deliver a written notice to the Pledgor notifying the Pledgor that iStar is enforcing the security interest provided to it by this Agreement with respect to the

Landmark Party also ratifies its authorization for the Secured Parties to have filed in any UCC jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

warrants to each Secured Party, as of the date hereof, that: 
 3.01 Organization; Power and Authority; Enforceability. Each Landmark
Party is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized or incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and has all powers
and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Landmark Party has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery on its behalf and its performance of this Agreement. Each Landmark Party has duly executed and delivered this Agreement in accordance with its
terms, and this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors
rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 3.02
No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of any Landmark Party of this Agreement, nor compliance by any such Landmark Party with the terms and provisions hereof nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby: (i) will contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any
of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of any such Landmark Party, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to such Landmark Party (or any partnership of which such Landmark Party is a partner) or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject or
(iii) will cause a default by any Landmark Party under any organizational document of any Person in which such Landmark Party has an interest, or cause a material default under such Person’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership,
the consequences of which conflict, contravention, breach or default under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

3.04 Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Landmark Party of this Agreement
or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 3.06 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the
knowledge of such Landmark Party threatened against or affecting: (i) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the Series E Units before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
the Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2013 (the “Existing Corporate Governance Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company’s 9.25% Series E Cumulative Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, the Company, iStar Financial and BREDS Financial have today entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”);  

WHEREAS, following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, OPT, DB, EL, iStar and BREDS will each
directly or indirectly continue to own and have the power to direct the voting or disposition of certain securities of the Company and of Landmark Apartment Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Virginia limited partnership and the Company’s
operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”); and 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to amend and restate the Existing Corporate Governance Agreement in its entirety and provide for the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) immediately following the Initial Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under the Purchase Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) (such date, the “Effective Date”) and to provide for certain
other obligations of OPT, DB, EL, iStar and BREDS with respect to certain shares of the Company’s Capital Stock directly or indirectly owned by them, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows: 

 1. Right to Designate Directors; Board Composition; Representation; Observer
Rights. 
 (a) Stanley J. Olander, Jr., Andrea R. Biller, Glenn W. Bunting, Jr. and Robert A. Gary, IV shall continue as
directors (the “LATA Directors”). On the Effective Date, and throughout his or her term, each such LATA Director (other than Stanley J. Olander, Jr.) must qualify as an “Independent Director” (as defined below).

 (b) Subject to Section 2 and Section 7, OPT shall have the right to designate one director (the “OPT
Director”) to be nominated by the Company for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2. An officer of OPT holding the position of Director Real Estate or higher and designated in writing by OPT shall serve as the OPT Director, with
a term that expires concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the election and qualification of any successor. For avoidance of doubt, (i) except as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d), to the extent serving as a
member of the Board, the OPT Director shall not be required to qualify as an “Independent Director” (as defined in Section 1(i)), (ii) the OPT Director may resign from the Board at any time, and (iii) OPT may waive its
rights to have an OPT Director nominated by the Company for election to the Board, and any such waiver, if given, shall be in writing and shall be effective until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors of the
Company are elected or, if expressly stated in such waiver, shall be effective for such longer period set forth therein. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), OPT waived forever its right to have an OPT Director nominated by the Company for election
to the Board by way of a written waiver letter dated July 9, 2013. 
 (c) Subject to Section 2 and Section 7, DB
shall have the right to designate one director (the “DB Director”) to be nominated by the Company for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2. Edward M. Kobel shall continue as the DB Director, or if he is unable or
unwilling to serve, another officer of DB holding an equivalent or higher position and designated in writing by DB, with a term that expires concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the election and qualification of any
successor. On the Effective Date, and throughout his or her term, the DB Director must qualify as an “Independent Director”. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent serving as a member of the Board, (i) the DB Director may resign from
the Board at any time, and (ii) DB may waive its rights to have a DB Director nominated by the Company for election to the Board, and any such waiver, if given, shall be in writing and shall be effective until the next annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders at which directors of the Company are elected or, if expressly stated in such waiver, shall be effective for such longer period set forth therein. 

(d) Subject to Section 2 and Section 7, EL shall have the right to designate two directors (each, an “EL
Director” and together, the “EL Directors”) to be nominated by the Company for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2. Joseph G. Lubeck and Michael Salkind shall continue as directors, with a term that expires
concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the election and qualification of any successor. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent serving as a member of the Board, (i) either of the EL Directors may resign from the
Board at any time, and (ii) EL may waive its rights to have one or both EL Directors nominated by the Company for election to the Board, and any such waiver, if given, shall be in writing and shall be effective until the next annual meeting of
the Company’s stockholders at which directors of the Company are elected or, if expressly stated in such waiver, shall be effective for such longer period set forth therein.

 (e) Pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles
Supplementary, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any), voting together as a single class, shall have the right
to elect one director designated by the iStar Representative (the “iStar Director”). Karl Frey shall continue as the iStar Director, with a term that expires concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the
election and qualification of any successor. Throughout his or her term, the iStar Director must qualify as an “Independent Director” (as defined below) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case such requirement shall
not apply. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent serving as a member of the Board, the person serving as the iStar Director may resign from the Board at any time and the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if
any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any) together as a single class shall have the right to replace such director. The Company and the other Parties hereby agree to take all actions necessary to
cause, and not to take any action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with, the iStar Representative’s designation, and the election by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if
any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any), of such replacement director. 

(f) Pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles Supplementary, the holders of Series D Preferred
Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any), voting together as a single class, shall have the right to elect one director designated by the BREDS
Representative (the “BREDS Director”). Peter Sotoloff shall continue as the BREDS Director, with a term that expires concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the election and qualification of any
successor. Throughout his or her term, the BREDS Director must qualify as an “Independent Director” unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case such requirement shall not apply. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent
serving as a member of the Board, the person serving as the BREDS Director may resign from the Board at any time and the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and
the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any) together as a single class shall have the right to replace such director. The Company and the other Parties hereby agree to take all actions necessary to cause, and not to take any action that interferes
or would reasonably be expected to interfere with, the BREDS Representative’s designation, and the election by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if any), the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and
the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any), of such replacement director. 
 (g) Subject to Section 2, iStar, BREDS and
EL shall have the right, acting by unanimous agreement among such Parties, to designate one director (the “Group Director”) to be nominated by the Company for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2; provided,
however, that (i) EL shall only have the right to participate in the designation of such Group Director if EL is entitled to designate an EL Director hereunder, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 2(b)(iii)
below, and (ii) if one or more of EL, iStar or BREDS fails,  

  
 3 

 declines or waives its or their right to participate in the designation of such Group Director (it being
understood that, absent a formal waiver in writing that expressly surrenders such right permanently, any such failure, declination or waiver shall not be deemed a permanent surrender of such right), the remaining Party or Parties shall be entitled
to designate such Group Director. Robert D. Gaither shall continue as the Group Director, with a term that expires concurrently with those of all other directors on the Board and upon the election and qualification of any successor. On the Effective
Date, and throughout his or her term, such Group Director must qualify as an “Independent Director”. 
 (h) The iStar
Director and the BREDS Director (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Directors”) shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter properly voted on by the Board or any committee thereof, including, but not limited to,
matters relating to the sale of all or any of the Properties owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and any matters relating to control over the business and affairs of the Company, the Component Entities and the Properties; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the Redemption Price for shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Redemption Price for shares of Series E Preferred Stock (each as in effect as of the date of
such redemption) is paid in cash, in full, the Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to five votes per director on any matter properly voted on by the Board or any committee (subject to the limitations on votes set forth in the last
sentence of this Section 1(h)), including, but not limited to, matters relating to the sale of all or any of the Properties owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and any matters relating to control over the business and affairs of the
Company, the Component Entities and the Properties. Upon the redemption of all issued and outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary and all issued and outstanding shares of Series E
Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series E Articles Supplementary, the right of the Preferred Stock Directors to cast five votes on all matters properly presented to the Board will cease and the Preferred Stock Directors shall only be entitled to one
vote per director on any matter properly voted on by the Board or any committee thereof. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Preferred Stock Directors shall only have the right to cast one vote on any matters
presented to the Board or any committee thereof relating to the sale or control of the multifamily Property known as Bello Ruscello (the “Excluded Property”); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply in the event
the Bello Ruscello Property is no longer subject to restrictions affecting the ability of the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative to take over control of such property; provided, further, that if the Company amends
any documents restricting the ability of the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative to exercise control over such property, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate any provision prohibiting the ability of iStar
Representative and the BREDS Representative to exercise control over such property and, to the extent successful, the foregoing limitation on the ability of the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative to control the Bello Ruscello property
shall no longer be applicable); provided, further, that no vote may be taken by the Board of Directors with respect to the Excluded Properties without providing five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Preferred Stock Directors of such
vote to be taken. 
 (i) For purposes of this Agreement, a Person shall be deemed to be an “Independent Director” if
he or she satisfies the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange (each, an “Independent Director”). If (i) at any time the Board determines that any LATA 

  
 4 

 Director (other than Stanley J. Olander, Jr.), the DB Director or the Group Director does not qualify as an
Independent Director or (ii) at any time that an Event of Default has not occurred, the Board determines that the iStar Director or the BREDS Director does not qualify as an Independent Director, in either case, the Company shall give prompt
written notice to the other Parties of such determination and the basis therefor. Upon making such determination, or receiving notice thereof, the Party or Parties that had previously designated such director, if any, shall designate a replacement
director, and the Parties shall cooperate to take such actions as are necessary to cause such existing director to resign from the Board, and the qualifying replacement director to be appointed or elected to the Board, as soon as reasonably
practical. To effectuate such Independent Director requirement, the LATA Directors (other than Stanley J. Olander, Jr.), the DB Director and the Group Director shall each execute and deliver to the Company on the date hereof, and any replacement
director therefor shall execute and deliver to the Company on the date of his or her designation, a letter of resignation, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, which resignation shall automatically take effect upon a determination by the
Board that such director has ceased to qualify as an “Independent Director.” 
 (j) For purposes of this Agreement, the appointment
by the Company of Joseph G. Lubeck as a director of the Company pursuant to any employment or consulting agreement shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to the appointment of Joseph G. Lubeck as a director
of the Company pursuant to Section 1(d) hereof. Nothing in this Agreement with respect to the cessation or expiration of the Company’s obligation to appoint an EL Director shall be deemed to derogate from the Company’s obligation to
appoint Joseph G. Lubeck as a director of the Company pursuant to any employment or consulting agreement between the Company and Mr. Lubeck. 

2. Continuing Board Composition and Representation. 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2, the Company hereby agrees to nominate each of the OPT Director, the DB Director,
the EL Directors and the Group Director (or any replacement thereof as provided in this Agreement) for election or re-election to the Board at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company held to consider a
vote on the election of the Board, and neither the Company nor any other Party (excluding OPT) shall take any action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with the election or
re-election of each such person to the Board; provided, that the Parties shall only be obligated to vote to elect such person to the Board to the extent required pursuant to Section 5. The
Company and the other Parties (excluding OPT) hereby agree to take all actions necessary to cause, and not to take any action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with, the election or
re--election of each person designated by the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative to be elected by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Common Stock (if any), the
holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Series E Common Stock (if any), to serve as a director pursuant to the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles Supplementary. Subject to paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and
(e) below, if at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board with respect to the directorship of a member of the Board who is an OPT Director, a DB Director, an EL Director or a Group Director (by reason of such director’s death, disability,
resignation, removal or otherwise), the Company agrees to cause a replacement director, designated by the Party or Parties (or their respective permitted assignees) who had the right to designate the director who has vacated his or her directorship
in accordance with Section 1 

  
 5 

 (without giving effect to Section 2(c) and 2(d)), to be appointed to fill such vacancy promptly following
his or her designation by such Party or Parties (or permitted assignees) hereunder. If at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board with respect to the directorship of a member of the Board who is an iStar Director, the iStar Representative shall have
the right to designate the replacement director, and the Company and the other Parties hereby agree to take all actions necessary to cause, and not to take any action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with, the election of
such designee to fill such vacancy. If at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board with respect to the directorship of a member of the Board who is a BREDS Director, the BREDS Representative shall have the right to designate the replacement director,
and the Company and the other Parties hereby agree to take all actions necessary to cause, and not to take any action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with, the election of such designee to fill such vacancy. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2: 

(i) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement to nominate an OPT Director, or to appoint a replacement thereto, and to appoint such
OPT Director to serve on the Committees (as defined in Section 3(a)), shall only apply if OPT and any entity in which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares directly or indirectly own an aggregate
of at least 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by OPT and/or any entity in
which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by OPT and/or any entity in which OPT
holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares whether or not exercisable); provided, that, the Company shall remain obligated to nominate an OPT Director, or to appoint a replacement thereto, and to
appoint such OPT Director to serve on Committees, to the extent the period during which OPT and the entities in which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares fail to meet the threshold set forth in this
Section 2(b)(i) does not exceed 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s
immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held. If, at any time, OPT is no longer entitled to nominate the OPT Director, OPT shall cause the OPT Director to promptly resign as a member of the Board and from any Committees thereof.

 (ii) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement to nominate a DB Director, or to appoint a replacement thereto, and to appoint
such DB Director to serve on the Committees, shall only apply if DB and its Affiliates directly or indirectly own an aggregate of at least 500,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned
directly or indirectly by DB and/or its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by DB and/or its Affiliates whether or not exercisable); provided,
that, the Company shall remain obligated to nominate a DB Director, or to appoint a replacement thereto, and to appoint such DB Director to serve on Committees, to the extent the period during which DB and its Affiliates fail to meet
the threshold set forth in this Section 2(b)(ii) does not exceed 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date of this Agreement and 

  
 6 

 
ending on the date that is 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held. If, at any time, DB is no
longer entitled to nominate the DB Director, DB shall cause the DB Director to promptly resign as a member of the Board and from any Committees thereof. 

(iii) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement with respect to the nomination of EL Directors, or the appointment of replacements
thereto, and the right of EL to participate in the designation of the Group Director, shall be subject to the following provisions: 
 (A)
if, for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date hereof and ending on the date that is 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of
stockholders was held, EL and its Affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of at least 3,680,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by EL and
its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by EL and its Affiliates whether or not exercisable), then the obligations of the Company under
Section 2(a) of this Agreement shall thereafter only apply with respect to one EL Director and shall be terminated with respect to the second EL Director; 

(B) if, for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date hereof and ending on the date that is 120 days
prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held, EL and its Affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of at least 2,450,000 shares of Common
Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by EL and its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or
indirectly by EL and its Affiliates whether or not then exercisable), then the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) of this Agreement shall thereafter be terminated; and 

(C) if, for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date hereof and ending on the date that is 120 days
prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held, EL and its Affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of at least 1,225,000 shares of Common
Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by EL and its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or
indirectly by EL and its Affiliates whether or not then exercisable), then the right of EL to participate in the designation of the Group Director shall thereafter be terminated. 

(c) The Company shall give EL, OPT and DB written notice (the “Company Designation Request”) (i) requesting that
the Parties designate directors pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) stating the Company’s intention to include such designees in its upcoming proxy statement to stockholders, and (iii) providing the date on which the proxy
statement is to be mailed (the “Mailing Date”), such Company Designation Request to be delivered not less than 45 days prior to the mailing date of such proxy statement. To designate a director pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2, each of EL, OPT and DB shall be required to have given the 

  
 7 

 
Company written notice of such Party’s designee or designees, as applicable, together with all information relating to such designee or designees required to be included by the Company
in such proxy statement under applicable laws, including the federal proxy rules (the “Designation Notice”), on or before the tenth day prior to the Mailing Date (the “Designation Date”). If OPT or DB shall have
failed to designate its proposed OPT Director or DB Director (provided, that OPT or DB, as applicable, still has the right to designate such director), respectively, by the Designation Date, such OPT Director or DB Director shall
(i) instead be designated by EL who shall deliver not later than two days before the Mailing Date (the “Final Designation Date”) to the Company a Designation Notice with respect to such director, together with an irrevocable
resignation from such director that shall be effective as of any date on which OPT or DB designates the OPT Director or DB Director, respectively, and such director shall, if elected, serve until the earlier of (x) the next annual meeting of
the Company’s stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or (y) in accordance with the foregoing irrevocable designation, the date on which OPT or DB, as applicable, designates the OPT Director or DB
Director, respectively, (ii) be an Independent Director, (iii) assume all Committee positions previously held by the prior OPT Director or DB Director, as applicable, and (iv) otherwise be deemed the OPT Director or the DB Director,
as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if OPT or DB, as applicable, shall have failed to submit its Designation Notice by the Designation Date but subsequently delivers its Designation Notice by the
Final Designation Date, then any Designation Notice with respect to such OPT Director or DB Director by EL shall be automatically deemed to have been withdrawn, and the OPT Director or DB Director, as applicable, shall instead be designated in
accordance with the Designation Notice submitted by OPT or DB. 
 (d) If a vacancy shall have occurred for a member of the
Board who is an OPT Director or DB Director, and OPT or DB, respectively, still has the right to designate a director to fill such vacancy, yet a replacement OPT Director or DB Director shall not have been designated by OPT or DB, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 2(a) for a period of more than 45 days after a vacancy in such position has occurred, then and until such replacement is so named, the replacement director for the OPT Director or DB Director shall (i) be designated by
EL (provided, that EL obtains and delivers an irrevocable resignation for such designee containing a provision that the resignation is effective as of any date on which OPT or DB, as applicable, designates the OPT Director or the DB
Director, respectively) to serve until the earlier of (x) the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or (y) in accordance with the irrevocable resignation from
such replacement director delivered concurrently with his or her designation by EL, the date on which a replacement director is designated by OPT or DB, as applicable, (ii) be an Independent Director, (iii) assume all Committee positions
previously held by the prior OPT Director or DB Director, as applicable, and (iv) otherwise be deemed the OPT Director or DB Director, as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement. 

(e) If during the pendency of any period during which a Party (or any permitted assignee thereof) satisfies its requirements under paragraph
(b) of this Section 2 with respect to its right to participate in the designation of the Group Director, yet such Party fails or declines to participate in such designation, the remaining Parties otherwise entitled to participate in the
designation of such Group Director shall, by themselves, be entitled to designate the Group Director.

 3. Committee Representation. 

(a) On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company and the other Parties agree to take all corporate and other actions necessary to
cause a LATA Director (other than Stanley J. Olander, Jr.) (for so long as he or she qualifies as an Independent Director and is willing to serve as a member of a Committee (as defined below)), any OPT Director elected to the Board (for so long as
he or she qualifies as an Independent Director and is willing to serve as a member of a Committee), any DB Director elected to the Board (for so long as he or she qualifies as an Independent Director and is willing to serve as a member of a
Committee), the iStar Director (for so long as he or she is willing to serve as a member of a Committee and, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred, he or she qualifies as an Independent Director), the BREDS Director (for so long as he or
she is willing to serve as a member of a Committee and, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred, he or she qualifies as an Independent Director) and the Group Director (and any successor thereto) to be appointed, and thereafter to be
re-appointed, to serve on each of the Board’s (i) Audit Committee, (ii) Compensation Committee, and (iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (each, a “Committee” and collectively, the
“Committees”). If (i) at any time, the Board determines that a LATA Director (other than Stanley J. Olander, Jr.), any member of the Board who is an OPT Director, or any member of the Board who is a DB Director and
(ii) for so long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Board determines that a member of the Board who is an iStar Director or a member of the Board who is a BREDS Director does not qualify as an Independent Director, the Company shall give
prompt written notice to the Parties of such determination and the basis therefor. Upon making such determination (or receiving notice thereof), the Company, OPT, DB, iStar or BREDS (as applicable) shall cause the LATA Director (other than Stanley
J. Olander, Jr.), the OPT Director, the DB Director, the iStar Director or the BREDS Director, as applicable, to resign from all Committees as soon as reasonably practical. For avoidance of doubt, (i) the OPT Director, the iStar Director and
the BREDS Director shall not be required to serve as a member of any Committee, (ii) the OPT Director, the iStar Director and the BREDS Director may resign from any Committee at any time, and (iii) OPT may waive its rights to have the OPT
Director serve on any Committee, and any such waiver, if given, shall be in writing, may be rescinded by OPT at any time and shall be effective until rescinded by OPT, the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors of
the Company are elected or, if expressly stated in such waiver, such other period as is otherwise set forth therein. 
 4.
Election of Joseph G. Lubeck as Executive Chairman of the Board. Effective as of the Effective Date, and thereafter for as long as Joseph G. Lubeck continues to serve as a director of the Company, whether pursuant to the terms hereof or
otherwise, the Parties agree to take all corporate and other actions necessary to cause him to be elected as the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board. 

5. Voting. From and after the Effective Date: 

(a) Each of DB, EL, iStar, BREDS, Joseph G. Lubeck and Edward M. Kobel agrees (i) to vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of the
Company’s Capital Stock directly or indirectly owned by it, its Affiliates or its Related Persons and entitled to vote, in favor of the election or re-election, as the case may be, of the directors designated by EL (excluding directors
designated by EL on behalf of OPT or DB pursuant to Section 2(c) or Section 2(d)) as provided in this 

  
 9 

 
Agreement at any meeting (or written consent in lieu of a meeting) of the Company’s stockholders held to consider the election of any such designated director and (ii) not to take any
action that interferes or would reasonably be expected to interfere with the election or re-election of each iStar Director or BREDS Director designated by the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles Supplementary. For the avoidance of doubt, EL, iStar and BREDS shall not be obligated to vote (or cause to be voted) any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock directly or
indirectly owned by it, its Affiliates or its Related Persons and entitled to vote in favor of the election or re-election, as the case may be, of the directors designated by OPT and DB (including directors designated by EL on behalf of OPT or DB
pursuant to Section 2(c) or Section 2(d)). 
 (b) Each of DB and EL agrees to vote all shares of the Company’s Capital Stock
directly or indirectly owned by it and entitled to vote, in favor of any resolution or proposal recommended by the Board and submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following matters: 

(i) an acquisition of assets by the Company or the Operating Partnership, or by any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof, and the issuance of
shares of Capital Stock by the Company or OP Units exchangeable for, or convertible into, shares of Capital Stock, with respect to such acquisition; 

(ii) amendments to the Company’s charter or bylaws; 

(iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity; or 

(iv) a sale of assets by the Company or the Operating Partnership, or by any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof. 

(c) Nothing in paragraphs (a) or (b) above shall be deemed to (i) require any Party to vote its shares of the
Company’s Capital Stock in support of a resolution that would cause a violation by the Company or its subsidiaries of applicable law or a breach of a covenant under the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Partnership
Units, shares of common stock of the Company issuable to iStar and BREDS in connection with a redemption of the Series D Preferred Stock in exchange for Series D Preferred Partnership Units (the “Series D Common Stock”), Series E
Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Partnership Units, shares of common stock of the Company issuable to iStar and BREDS in connection with a redemption of the Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for Series E Preferred Partnership Units (the
“Series E Common Stock”), the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2013 (the “SPA”), by and among the Company, iStar Financial and BREDS Financial, the Purchase Agreement, the Pledge Agreement,
dated as of June 28, 2013 (the “Pledge Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership, iStar and BREDS, the Pledge Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2014 (the “Series E Pledge
Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership, iStar and BREDS or any other Transaction Document (as defined in both the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles Supplementary); (ii) require any Party to vote
its shares of the Company’s Capital Stock in any particular manner (1) with respect to any matter that requires the consent or waiver of such Party under the Series D Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Partnership Units, Series D Common
Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series E 

  
 10 

 
Preferred Partnership Units, Series E Common Stock, the SPA, the Purchase Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Series E Pledge Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in both
the Articles Supplementary and the Series E Articles Supplementary) or (2) that would trigger an optional redemption right under the Articles Supplementary with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock or the Series E Articles Supplementary with
respect to the Series E Preferred Stock unless the Company has sufficient funds set aside to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock in full; or (iii) require any Party to vote its shares of the Company’s
Capital Stock in any particular manner with respect to any class specific vote in which such Party is entitled to vote. An affirmative vote by OPT, DB, iStar or BREDS pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 shall not be
deemed a consent or waiver by it pursuant to the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Partnership Units or Series D Common Stock or the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Partnership Units or Series E
Common Stock, respectively. 
 6. Severalty of Obligations. The obligations under this Agreement of each Party are the
separate and several obligations of that Party and are not joint obligations with respect to any other Person. No failure by any Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any other Party of any of its obligations hereunder,
and no Party shall be responsible or liable for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by, any other Party hereunder. 

7. Expiration. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EL’s, OPT’s and DB’s (and their permitted assignees’)
respective rights, undertakings and obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed to have expired and to be without any further force and effect upon consummation of the IPO; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing: 
 (i) the obligations of the Company under this Agreement to nominate an OPT Director for election or re-election to the
Board shall continue until and including the earlier of (i) the second annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the consummation of the IPO, or (ii) OPT and each entity in which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least
40% of the equity interests or shares ceasing to own directly or indirectly an aggregate of at least 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by OPT and/or each
entity in which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by OPT and/or any entity in
which OPT holds directly or indirectly at least 40% of the equity interests or shares, whether or not exercisable) for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is
120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held; it being agreed and understood that if, at any time, OPT is no longer entitled to designate the OPT
Director, OPT shall cause any OPT Director serving as a director to promptly resign as a member of the Board and from any Committees thereof; 

  
 11 

 (ii) the obligations of the Company to nominate a DB Director for re-election to the Board shall
continue to apply until and including the earlier of (i) the second annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the consummation of the IPO, or (ii) DB and its Affiliates ceasing to own directly or indirectly an aggregate
of at least 500,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by DB and/or its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and
unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by DB and/or its Affiliates whether or not exercisable) for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is 120 days
prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held; it being agreed and understood that if, at any time, DB is no longer entitled to designate the DB Director, DB
shall cause any DB Director serving as a director to promptly resign as a member of the Board and from any Committees thereof; and 
 (iii)
the obligations of the Company to nominate (i) two EL Directors shall continue to apply until EL and its Affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of at least 3,680,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each
interest in the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by EL and/or its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by EL and/or its Affiliates
whether or not exercisable), and (ii) one EL Director shall continue to apply until EL and its Affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of at least 2,450,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of each interest in
the Operating Partnership owned directly or indirectly by EL and its Affiliates into one share of Common Stock and the full exercise of any outstanding and unexpired Warrants owned directly or indirectly by EL and/or its Affiliates whether or not
then exercisable), in either such case for more than 30 consecutive days during any 12-month period beginning after the date hereof and ending on the date that is 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company’s
immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held; it being agreed and understood that if, at any time, EL loses the right to designate one or both EL Directors to the Board, EL shall cause one or both persons, as applicable, designated
by it then serving as a director, if any, to promptly resign as a member or members of the Board and from any Committees thereof. 

For purposes of this Agreement, “consummation of the IPO” shall mean the initial closing (without regard for any
closing of any associated “green shoe”) of the first underwritten public offering of shares of the Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that occurs after the Effective Date and in conjunction with which
shares of Common Stock are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. 
 (b) iStar’s and BREDS’s respective rights,
undertakings and obligations under this Agreement shall survive indefinitely (including after the consummation of the IPO) until all shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series D Common Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series E Common Stock shall
have been redeemed by the Company and all Series D Preferred Partnership Units and Series E Preferred Partnership Units shall have been redeemed by the Operating Partnership.

discretion, by the written consent of both the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative. Failure to deliver such written consent within the period specified above shall be deemed a rejection of such draft budget. If the budget is approved,
it will be the “Approved Budget” for the next succeeding fiscal year. If the budget is rejected, the Company, the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative will work in good faith to resolve the objections, but until such
objections are resolved, the Company shall continue to operate in accordance with the Approved Budget then in effect for the prior fiscal year and such budget shall remain the “Approved Budget” for all purposes hereunder; provided,
however, that the Company shall be authorized to continue to operate in the ordinary course and meet its contractual obligations as they come due, subject to the provisions of Section 2(a) hereof and Section 8(c) of the Articles

 (c) Independent REIT Review. Upon receipt of a joint written notice (the “Initial Qualification
Notice”) from both the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative that, based on the advice of an independent accounting or law firm (the “First Investors’ 

  
 Sch 2-9 

 Independent Advisor”) selected by the iStar Representative and the BREDS
Representative, the Company is likely to fail to qualify, or does not qualify, as a REIT under the Code, the Company and its independent accounting or law firm (the “Company’s Independent Advisor”) and the First Investors’
Independent Advisor shall consult with each other in good faith regarding the advice of the First Investors’ Independent Advisor and the basis therefor and receive and discuss any position of the Company and the Company’s Independent
Advisor to the contrary, for a period of not less than 10 Business Days after the date of the Initial Qualification Notice (as the same may be extended by the agreement of the Company and the Representatives, the “REIT Consultation
Period”). If at the end of the REIT Consultation Period, or sooner upon the mutual agreement of the Company’s Independent Advisor and the First Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company’s Independent Advisor agrees with the
First Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company shall notify the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in writing promptly, and in no event later than five Business Days after the expiration of the REIT Consultation Period (or the earlier date
upon mutual agreement of the Company’s Independent Advisor and the First Investors’ Independent Advisor), that a REIT Determination Event has occurred. If, on the other hand, the Company’s Independent Advisor disagrees with the First
Investors’ Independent Advisor on whether the Company is likely to fail, or fails, to qualify as a REIT, the Company and the Representatives shall jointly retain Deloitte & Touche LLP to provide an independent determination of the
matter; provided, however, that if Deloitte & Touche LLP is then serving as the independent auditor for any of the Company or the Representatives or refuses the assignment, then the Company and the Representatives shall instead jointly
retain KPMG LLP; provided, however, that if KPMG LLP is then serving as the independent auditor for any of the Company or the Representatives or refuses the assignment, the Company and the Representatives shall mutually agree on a new independent
law or accounting firm (Deloitte & Touche LLP, KPMG LLP or such new independent law or accounting firm, the “Second Investors’ Independent Advisor”) within 30 days after the end of the REIT Consultation Period to make
a final determination on the matter, and if they are unable to agree on such new firm within such 30-day period, the Second Investors’ Independent Advisor shall be an independent law or accounting firm experienced in REIT tax matters selected
by the Representatives within 10 days after the end of such 30-day period. The Second Investors’ Independent Advisor shall render a final decision within 30 days after being retained for such purpose and the decision of the Second
Investors’ Independent Advisor shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for all purposes. The Company shall, and shall cause its tax advisors to, and the holders of Series D Preferred
Stock shall, and shall cause their tax advisors to, cooperate with each other during the course of the Independent REIT Review and provide each other with such documents supporting their respective positions as are reasonably requested. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred by the Representatives, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company, the First Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company’s Independent Advisor, the Second Investors’ Independent Advisor or any
other officers, directors, equityholder, employees, advisors (including lawyers) or other agents and representatives in connection with this Section 2(c) shall be borne solely by the Company, if it is determined that a REIT Determination Event
has occurred, and one-half by the Company, on the one hand, and one-half by the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative, on the other hand, if it is determined that no REIT Determination Event shall have occurred. For purposes of this
Section 2(c), whether the Company fails or is likely to fail to qualify as a REIT shall be determined without any mitigation provisions available to the Company under the Code (e.g., the 

  
 Sch 2-10 

 
ability of the Company to retain its status as a REIT upon the payment of tax) unless (i) the amount of any penalty or interest required to be paid to the benefit from such savings or
mitigation provision is included in the aggregate of all of the line item variances as set forth in the definition of “Permitted Budget Variance” and does not and could not reasonably be expected to cause the aggregate of all line item
variances to exceed 10% of the total expenses in the Approved Budget; and (ii) the Company’s tax counsel has issued an opinion to the Company stating that the Company satisfies any reasonable cause requirement of such mitigation provision,
and such opinion does not rely upon a representation that the Company acted with “ordinary care and business prudence” but shall instead rely upon representations regarding the facts specific to any issues requiring such mitigation
provision. 
 (d) Distributions of Net Operating Cash Flow. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(g), the Company shall
distribute or use, and shall cause its Component Entities to distribute or use, all Net Operating Cash Flow as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	first, to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof and any Miscellaneous Amounts to holders of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof)
(such payments to be made pro rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Net Operating Cash Flows are insufficient to pay all such amounts due); 

 

	 	(ii)	second, to pay all accrued and unpaid Current Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) for all past Dividend Periods;

	 	(iv)	fourth, to pay distributions to the holders of Common Stock in an annual amount up to $0.30 per outstanding share of Common Stock; 

  

	 	(v)	fifth, to the extent necessary for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, to pay additional PIK Dividends on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any other similar amount with respect
to shares of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof); 

  

	 	(vi)	sixth, to the extent that the Company has exhausted any available credit facility entered into in accordance with the Series D Preferred Terms, up to $10,000,000 per annum to fund a working capital reserve (the
“General Reserve Account” and any funds deposited into the General Reserve Account pursuant to this clause (vi) being referred to herein as the “General Reserve Funds”), which General Reserve Funds will be held
and applied in accordance with Section 11 of this Schedule 2 and Section 32 of the Articles Supplementary; 

  
 Sch 2-11 

	 	(vii)	seventh, to the extent not already distributed pursuant to Section 2(a)(v), to pay PIK Dividends to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and to pay any other similar amount with respect to shares of Parity Stock
(to the extent required by the terms thereof); and 

  

	 	(viii)	thereafter, to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock or to be retained by the Operating Partnership. 

(e) Distributions of Sale Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(f) of this Schedule 2 and Sections 8(f) and 8(j) of
the Articles Supplementary, the Company shall distribute, or use, and shall cause its Component Entities to distribute or use, all Sale Proceeds and all Section 8(l) Proceeds as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	first, to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts owed to holders of Series D Preferred Stock and any Miscellaneous Amounts to holders of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) (such payments to be made pro
rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds are insufficient to pay all such amounts due); 

 

	 	(ii)	second, to redeem shares of Series D Preferred Stock for the Redemption Price then in effect and, to the extent required under the terms thereof, shares of Parity Stock (for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro
Rata Basis (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock; and 

 

	 	(iii)	thereafter, to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock or to be retained by the Operating Partnership. 

(f) Allocation of Net Operating Cash Flow, Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds During Noncompliance and Event of Default or After
the Fifth-Year Redemption Date. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, (i) during any period that the Company
fails to comply with one or more of the protective provisions set forth in Section 2(a) or (ii) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, in each case, all Net Operating Cash Flow and Sale Proceeds, except as provided in
Section 8(k) of the Articles Supplementary, and all Section 8(l) Proceeds shall be applied by the Company first to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and any Miscellaneous Amounts to holders of Parity
Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) (such payments to be made pro rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Net Operating Cash Flows, Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds (as applicable)
are insufficient to pay all such amounts due) and thereafter to redeem shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price (then in effect) and shares of Parity Stock (for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro Rata Basis (as nearly as may
be practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock, until such time that the iStar Representative and the BREDS Representative acknowledge in

  
 Sch 2-12 

 
writing that the failure to comply or Event of Default has been remedied in full; provided, that in the case of noncompliance with any Financial Covenant, the application of Net
Operating Cash Flow to redeem outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price pursuant to this Section 2(g) shall commence upon the date of such noncompliance and shall continue until such time that the iStar
Representative and the BREDS Representative acknowledge in writing that the Company (A) has remedied such noncompliance in full and (B) has thereafter remained in compliance with all Financial Covenants for one full calendar quarter. In
addition to the above, if after the Fifth- Year Redemption less than all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been redeemed, then, until all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed for the Redemption Price,
all Sale Proceeds, Section 8(l) Proceeds and Net Operating Cash Flow shall be applied by the Company to redeem shares of Series D Preferred Stock for the Redemption Price and, to the extent required by the terms thereof, shares of Parity Stock
(for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro Rata Basis (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock (it being agreed that, for purposes of this
sentence, “Net Operating Cash Flow” shall not include the payment of any contractual obligations of the Company or the Component Entities under contracts entered into in accordance with the definitive transaction documents in connection
with a Capital Transaction pursuant to the approved Asset Disposition Plan).

provisions of Section 2(a) hereof and Section 8(c) of the Series E Articles Supplementary. 
 (c) Independent REIT Review.
Upon receipt of a joint written notice (the “Initial Qualification Notice”) from both the iStar Series E Representative and the BREDS Series E Representative that, based on the advice of an independent accounting or law firm (the
“First Investors’ Independent Advisor”) selected by the iStar Series E Representative and the BREDS Series E Representative, the Company is likely to fail to qualify, or does not qualify, as a REIT under the Code, the Company
and its independent accounting or law firm (the “Company’s Independent Advisor”) and the First Investors’ Independent Advisor shall consult with each other in good faith regarding the advice of the First Investors’
Independent Advisor and the basis therefor and receive and discuss any position of the Company and the Company’s Independent Advisor to the contrary, for a period of not less than 10 Business Days after the date of the Initial Qualification
Notice (as the same may be extended by the agreement of the Company and the Representatives, the “REIT Consultation Period”). If at the end of the REIT Consultation Period, or sooner upon the mutual agreement of the Company’s
Independent Advisor and the First Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company’s Independent Advisor agrees with the First Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company shall notify the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock in writing
promptly, and in no event later than five Business Days after the expiration of the REIT Consultation Period (or the earlier date upon mutual agreement of the Company’s Independent Advisor and the First Investors’ Independent Advisor),
that a REIT Determination Event has occurred. If, on the other hand, the Company’s Independent Advisor disagrees with the First Investors’ Independent Advisor on whether the Company is likely to fail, or fails, to qualify as a REIT, the
Company and the Representatives shall jointly retain Deloitte & Touche LLP to provide an independent determination of the matter; provided, however, that if Deloitte & Touche LLP is then serving as the independent auditor for any
of the Company or the Representatives or refuses the assignment, then the Company and the Representatives shall instead jointly retain KPMG LLP; provided, however, that if KPMG LLP is then serving as the independent auditor for any of the Company or
the Representatives or refuses the assignment, the Company and the Representatives shall mutually agree on a new independent law or accounting firm (Deloitte & Touche LLP, KPMG LLP or such new independent law or accounting firm, the
“Second Investors’ Independent Advisor”) within 30 days after the end of the REIT Consultation Period to make a final determination on the matter, and if they are unable to agree on such new firm within such 30-day period, the
Second Investors’ Independent Advisor shall be an independent law or accounting firm experienced in REIT tax matters selected by the Representatives within 10 days after the end of such 30-day period. The Second Investors’ Independent
Advisor shall render a final decision within 30 days after being retained for such purpose and the decision of the Second Investors’ Independent Advisor shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and the holders of the Series E
Preferred Stock for all purposes. The Company shall, and shall cause its tax advisors to, and the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall, and shall cause their tax advisors to, cooperate with each other during the course of the Independent
REIT Review and provide each other with such documents supporting their respective positions as are reasonably requested. All costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Representatives, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company, the First
Investors’ Independent Advisor, the Company’s Independent Advisor, the Second Investors’ Independent Advisor or any other officers, directors, equityholders, employees, advisors (including lawyers)

or other agents and representatives in connection with this Section 2(c) shall be borne solely by the Company, if it is determined that a REIT Determination Event has occurred, and one-half
by the Company, on the one hand, and one-half by the iStar Series E Representative and the BREDS Series E Representative, on the other hand, if it is determined that no REIT Determination Event shall have occurred. For purposes of this
Section 2(c), whether the Company fails or is likely to fail to qualify as a REIT shall be determined without any savings or mitigation provisions available to the Company under the Code (e.g., the ability of the Company to retain its status as
a REIT upon the payment of tax) unless (i) the amount of any penalty or interest required to be paid to the benefit from such savings or mitigation provision is included in the aggregate of all of the line item variances as set forth in the
definition of “Permitted Budget Variance” and does not and could not reasonably be expected to cause the aggregate of all line item variances to exceed 10% of the total expenses in the Approved Budget; and (ii) the Company’s tax
counsel has issued an opinion to the Company stating that the Company satisfies any reasonable cause requirement of such savings or mitigation provision, and such opinion does not rely upon a representation that the Company acted with “ordinary
care and business prudence” but shall instead rely upon representations regarding the facts specific to any issues requiring such savings or mitigation provision. 

(d) Distributions of Net Operating Cash Flow. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(g), the Company shall distribute or use,
and shall cause its Component Entities to distribute or use, all Net Operating Cash Flow as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	first, to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof and any Miscellaneous Amounts to holders of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof)
(such payments to be made pro rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Net Operating Cash Flows are insufficient to pay all such amounts due); 

 

	 	(ii)	second, to pay all accrued and unpaid Current Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) for all past Dividend Periods;

  

	 	(iii)	third, to pay all Current Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock and any current dividends on the Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) for the current Dividend Period; 

 

	 	(iv)	fourth, to pay distributions to the holders of Common Stock in an annual amount up to $0.30 per outstanding share of Common Stock; 

  

	 	(v)	fifth, to the extent necessary for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, to pay additional PIK Dividends on the shares of Series E Preferred Stock and any other similar amount with respect
to shares of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof); 

  
 Sch 3-11 

	 	(vi)	sixth, to the extent that the Company has exhausted any available credit facility entered into in accordance with the Series E Preferred Terms, up to $10,000,000 per annum to fund a working capital reserve (the
“General Reserve Account”, and any funds deposited into the General Reserve Account pursuant to this clause (vi) being referred to herein as the “General Reserve Funds”), which General Reserve Funds will be
held and applied in accordance with Section 11 of this Schedule 3 and Section 32 of the Series E Articles Supplementary; 

  

	 	(vii)	seventh, to the extent not already distributed pursuant to Section 2(a)(v), to pay PIK Dividends to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and to pay any other similar amount with respect to shares of Parity Stock
(to the extent required by the terms thereof); and 

  

	 	(viii)	thereafter, to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock or to be retained by the Operating Partnership. 

(e) Distributions of Sale Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(f) of this Schedule 3 and Section 8(f) and
Section 8(j) of the Series E Articles Supplementary, the Company shall distribute, or use, and shall cause its Component Entities to distribute or use, all Sale Proceeds and all Section 8(l) Proceeds as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	first, to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and any Miscellaneous Amounts to holders of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) (such payments to be made pro
rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds are insufficient to pay all such amounts due); 

 

	 	(ii)	second, to redeem shares of Series E Preferred Stock for the Redemption Price then in effect and, to the extent required under the terms thereof, shares of Parity Stock (for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro
Rata Basis (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock; and 

 

	 	(iii)	thereafter, to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock or to be retained by the Operating Partnership. 

(f) Allocation of Net Operating Cash Flow, Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds During Noncompliance and Event of Default or After
the Fifth-Year Redemption Date. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, (i) during any period that the Company
fails to comply with one or more of the protective provisions set forth in Section 2(a) or (ii) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, in each case, all Net Operating Cash Flow and Sale Proceeds, except as provided in
Section 8(k) of the Series E Articles Supplementary, and all Section 8(l) Proceeds shall be applied by the Company first to pay all Miscellaneous Amounts to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and any Miscellaneous Amounts to the
holders of Parity Stock (to the extent required by the terms thereof) (such 

  
 Sch 3-12 

 
payments to be made pro rata based on the Miscellaneous Amounts owed to such holders in the event that Net Operating Cash Flows, Sale Proceeds and Section 8(l) Proceeds (as applicable) are
insufficient to pay all such amounts due) and thereafter to redeem shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price (then in effect) and shares of Parity Stock (for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro Rata Basis (as nearly as may be
practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock, until such time that the iStar Series E Representative and the BREDS Series E Representative acknowledge in writing that
the failure to comply or Event of Default has been remedied in full; provided, that in the case of noncompliance with any Financial Covenant, the application of Net Operating Cash Flow to redeem outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the
Redemption Price pursuant to this Section 2(g) shall commence upon the date of such noncompliance and shall continue until such time that the iStar Series E Representative and the BREDS Series E Representative acknowledge in writing that the
Company (A) has remedied such noncompliance in full and (B) has thereafter remained in compliance with all Financial Covenants for one full calendar quarter. In addition to the above, if after the Fifth-Year Redemption Date less than all
outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been redeemed, then, until all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed for the Redemption Price, all Sale Proceeds, Section 8(l) Proceeds and Net Operating Cash Flow
shall be applied by the Company to redeem shares of Series E Preferred Stock for the Redemption Price and, to the extent required under the terms thereof, shares of Parity Stock (for its applicable redemption price) on a Pro Rata Basis (as nearly as
may be practicable without creating fractional shares) among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Stock (it being agreed that, for purposes of this sentence, “Net Operating Cash Flow” shall not include the
payment of any contractual obligations of the Company or the Component Entities under contracts entered into in accordance with the definitive transaction documents in connection with a Capital Transaction pursuant to the approved Asset Disposition
Plan).
