Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) dated as of September 19, 2011, by and between DCT Industrial Trust Inc. with its principal place of business at 518 17th Street, Suite 800, Denver, Colorado 80202 (the “Company”), and Matthew T. Murphy, residing at the address
set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to continue to employ the
Executive, and the Executive wishes to accept such offer, on the terms set forth below. 
 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree
as follows: 
 1. Term. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, for a
term commencing on September 19, 2011 and continuing through October 9, 2012, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 (the period during which the Executive is employed hereunder being
hereinafter referred to as the “Term”). 
 2. Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall be employed by the
Company as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and, as such, the Executive shall faithfully perform for the Company the duties of such office and shall perform such other duties of an executive, managerial or administrative nature, which are
consistent with such office, as shall be specified and designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time
and effort to the performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Executive may engage in civic or charitable activities, provided that such activities do not interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder
or violate this Agreement. 
 3. Compensation. 
 3.1 Salary. Effective as of September 16, 2011 and continuing through the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive an initial salary at the rate of $275,000 per annum (the “Annual
Salary”), in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company applicable to senior executives (but, in no event, less frequently than monthly). The Board, or committee thereof, may provide for such increases in the Annual Salary
as it may in its discretion deem appropriate; provided that in no event shall the Annual Salary be decreased. 
 3.2 Bonus. During the Term, in addition to the Annual Salary, for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The target
annual cash bonus for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term shall be at least equal to $250,000; provided that the amount of the actual cash bonus paid (which may be more or less than the target amount) shall be determined by the
Company, in its sole discretion, based on such factors relating to the performance of the Executive or the Company as it deems relevant. Each cash bonus payment under this Section 3.2 shall be made in a single lump sum within two and one-half
(2  1/2) months following the end of the
fiscal year of the Company in which such bonus is earned. By way of illustration (but not limitation) of the manner in which the preceding sentence operates, if the Executive earns a bonus for fiscal year 2011, then the cash bonus payment must be
paid in a single lump sum between January 1, 2012 and March 15, 2012. 

 3.3 Long-Term Incentive Awards. During the Term, in addition to
the Annual Salary and cash bonus, the Executive shall be eligible to receive annual equity awards under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the
“LTIP”) or other equity-based plan as in effect from time to time that is materially comparable in the aggregate to the LTIP. The target value of the annual equity awards for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term shall be
at least equal to $250,000; provided that the value of the actual equity awards granted (which may be more or less than the target value) shall be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, based on such factors relating to the performance
of the Executive or the Company as it deems relevant. Grants of annual equity awards under this Section 3.3 shall be made within two and one-half
(2 1/2) months following the end of the fiscal
year of the Company to which such awards relate. Annual equity awards granted shall vest in equal annual installments over no more than five years, and the vesting period for any grant made during the Term will begin on January 1 of the year in
which such grant is made. Any grants which are financially equivalent to restricted stock (e.g. restricted stock units or phantom units), other than those that remain subject to performance-based vesting hurdles, shall be accompanied by the grant of
dividend equivalent rights. The Executive shall also be eligible to participate in any multi-year equity award programs established by the Company for senior executives. The Company will have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, the terms
of any such programs or the Executive’s award thereunder. 
 3.4 Initial Equity Grant. As of the first day of
the Term, the Executive shall receive under the LTIP a number of shares of common stock of the Company (or equivalent full-value awards, such as LTIP Units in DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP) equal to $300,000 divided by the closing price of
the common stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange on such day. Such shares (or equivalent full-value awards) shall vest 25% on the day immediately preceding the third anniversary of the first day of the Term, an additional 25% shall
vest on the day immediately preceding the fourth anniversary of the first day of the Term, and the remaining 50% shall vest on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of the first day of the Term, and will otherwise be subject to the
terms of the LTIP and the definitive documentation governing the grant. All of such shares (or equivalent full-value awards) will be accompanied by the grant of dividend equivalent rights (which, in the case of LTIP Units, will be in the form of
distributions from the DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP) that will entitle the Executive to current payment of dividend equivalents as long as such shares or equivalent full-value awards are outstanding regardless of whether such shares or
equivalent full-value awards are vested. 
 3.5 Benefits—In General. Except with respect to benefits of a type
otherwise provided for under Section 3.6, the Executive shall be entitled during the Term to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plans, health programs, retirement plans, fringe benefit programs and similar
benefits that are available to other senior executives of the Company generally, on the same terms as such other executives, in each case to the extent that the Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs. 

  
 2 

 3.6 Specific Benefits. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.5, the
Company shall make available to the Executive vacation of four weeks per year which vacation days may accrue subject to the Company policy regarding vacation accruals. 
 3.7 Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred (and, in the case of reimbursement, paid) by the Executive
during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to use of a mobile phone, use of a blackberry, and entertainment costs); provided that the Executive submits
reasonable proof of such expenses within the period provided by the Company for expense reimbursements to its senior executives generally, with the properly completed forms as prescribed from time to time by the Company. In addition, the Executive
shall be entitled to reasonable reimbursement for travel, according to the Company’s policy (which provides for coach class airfare and reimbursement for upgrades). 
 3.8 Indemnification and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. The Executive shall be indemnified, and shall have his legal expenses in connection with regulatory or other legal proceedings
advanced to him, by the Company in connection with his performance of services hereunder, if and as applicable, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Executive than those that apply to any other senior executives of the Company. The
Company shall cause the Executive to be covered by directors and officers liability insurance with such coverage to be no less favorable to him than the coverage then being provided to any other senior executive of the Company. 

3.9 Timing of Expense Reimbursement. All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement
must be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in the Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last
day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses
eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 4. Termination upon Death or Disability. If the Executive dies during the Term, the Term shall terminate as of the date of death, and the obligations of the Company under this Agreement to or with
respect to the Executive shall terminate in their entirety upon such date except as otherwise provided under this Section 4. If the Executive becomes disabled by virtue of ill health or other disability and is unable to perform substantially
and continuously the duties assigned to him for more than 180 consecutive or non-consecutive days out of any consecutive 12-month period in the reasonable opinion of a qualified physician chosen by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the
Executive (the foregoing circumstance being referred to below as a “Disability”), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of the Executive upon notice in writing to the Executive. Upon
termination of employment due to death or Disability during the Term, (i) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall be entitled to receive any Annual Salary, bonus and
other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the 

  
 3 

 
date of termination (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination), (ii) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in
the case of the death of the Executive) shall be entitled to receive (A) a cash payment equal to (I) the target bonus for the year of termination multiplied by (II) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the
year up to the termination and (y) the denominator of which is 365, and (B) elimination of any exclusively time-based vesting conditions (but not performance conditions, which shall remain in effect subject to the terms thereof) on any
restricted stock, stock options and other equity awards; provided that, in the event of termination of employment due to Disability, the Executive will only be entitled to receive the payment and accelerated vesting set forth in this clause
(ii) if the Executive executes and delivers to the Company a general release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, which does not require the release of any payment rights under this Section 4 or under Section 3.8, within
thirty (30) days following such termination and such release becomes irrevocable at the earliest possible time under applicable law following such execution and delivery, (iii) Section 3.8 shall apply in accordance with its terms and
(iv) the Executive (or, in the case of his death, his estate and beneficiaries) shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder. By way of
illustration (but not limitation) of the manner in which clause (ii)(B) of the preceding sentence operates, if the Executive were to hold an equity award with a five-year performance-based vesting condition, where the Executive would also need to
remain employed during such period, and the Executive’s employment were to terminate in the fourth year of the vesting period due to his death or Disability, then, so long as the performance measures are met at the end of the five-year
performance period, the Executive or his estate would be entitled to payments as though he had remained employed (and, if the performance measures are not met at the end of the five-year performance period, the award is thereupon forfeited).

 Any payments that the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to clause (i) of the third sentence
of this Section 4 shall be made by the Company in a single lump sum within five (5) days after termination of employment due to death or Disability. Any payment or acceleration of vesting that the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant
to clause (ii) of the third sentence of this Section 4 shall be made by the Company in a single lump sum or occur, respectively, upon the 45th day after termination of employment due to death or Disability. 

5. Certain Terminations of Employment. 
 5.1 Termination by the Company for Cause; Termination by the Executive without Good Reason. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s: 
 (i) conviction of a felony (other than a traffic violation), a crime of moral turpitude, or any financial crime involving the Company; a willful act of dishonesty, breach of trust or unethical business
conduct in connection with the business of the Company that has a material detrimental impact on the Company; 

(ii) commission of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement against the Company; any act or omission in the performance of
his duties hereunder that constitutes willful misconduct, willful neglect or gross neglect, in any such case if such action or omission is either material or repeated; 

  
 4 

 (iii) repeated failure to use reasonable efforts in all material respects to
adhere to the directions of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, or the Company’s policies and practices, after his being informed that he is not so adhering; 

(iv) willful failure to substantially perform his duties properly assigned to him (other than any such failure resulting
from his Disability); 
 (v) breach of any of the provisions of Section 6; or 

(vi) breach in any material respect of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and failure to cure such breach within
ten days following written notice from the Company specifying such breach; 
 provided that the Company shall not be permitted to terminate the
Executive for Cause except on written notice given to the Executive at any time following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (v) above and on written notice given to the Executive at any time not more than
30 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (iii), (iv) or (vi) above (or, if later, the Company’s knowledge thereof). 
 (b) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, and the Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for any or no reason on at least 30 days’ and not more than
60 days’ written notice given to the Company. If the Company terminates the Executive for Cause during the Term, or if the Executive terminates his employment during the Term and the termination by the Executive is not covered by
Section 5.2, then (i) the Executive shall be entitled to receive any Annual Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination of employment (and reimbursement under this Agreement for
expenses incurred prior to the date of termination of employment); (ii) Section 3.8 shall apply in accordance with its terms; and (iii) the Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or
after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder. 
 5.2 Termination by the Company without Cause;
Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean,
unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Executive, 
 (i) the material reduction of the Executive’s
authority, duties and responsibilities, or the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s position or positions with the Company, as specified in Section 2; 

(ii) a reduction in the Annual Salary of the Executive, or a reduction in the target bonus or target LTIP award applicable
to the Executive (except for a 

  
 5 

 
material reduction in target bonus or target LTIP award that is part of a Company program to reduce “general and administrative” expenses due to business conditions which reduction is
applied to other senior officers generally; provided that such reduction is before the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below)); 
 (iii) the relocation of the Executive’s office to more than 30 miles from Denver, Colorado; or 
 (iv) any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) Good Reason (A) shall not be deemed to exist unless the Executive gives to the Company a written notice identifying the event or condition purportedly giving rise to Good Reason expressly referencing this Section 5.2(a)
within 45 days after the time at which the event or condition first occurs or arises (or, if later, was discovered or should have been discovered by the Executive) and (B) shall not be deemed to exist at any time at which there exists an event
or condition which could serve as the basis of a termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause; and (ii) if there exists (without regard to the following clause (ii)(A)) an event or condition that constitutes Good Reason,
(A) the Company shall have 45 days from the date notice of Good Reason is given to cure such event or condition and, if the Company does so, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder; and (B) if the Company does
not cure such event or condition within such 45-day period, the Executive shall have one business day thereafter to give the Company notice of termination of employment on account thereof (specifying a termination date no later than 10 days from the
date of such notice of termination). If the 45 days noted in clause (ii)(A) above extends beyond the Term, then the Term for purposes of Section 5.2(b) shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company cures such
event or condition or (ii) the first business day following the end of such 45-day period. 
 (b) The Company may terminate
the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason upon notice to the Executive and the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company for Good Reason upon notice to the Company. If the Company
terminates the Executive’s employment and the termination is not covered by Section 4 or 5.1, or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, and such termination occurs either during the Term or within 12 months after a Change
in Control (as defined in Section 5.3) that occurs at any time during or after the Term, (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive Annual Salary, bonus and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the termination of
employment (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the termination of employment); (ii) the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (A) one times (or, in the event of a termination within 12 months
after a Change of Control, two times) Annual Salary, (B) one times (or, in the event of a termination within 12 months after a Change of Control, two times) the greater of (x) the target bonus for the year of termination and (y) the
average of the actual bonuses for the two years (with respect to which bonuses are determined) prior to the year of termination, (C) a cash payment equal to (I) the target bonus for the year of termination multiplied by (II) a fraction
(x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the year up to the termination and (y) the denominator of which is 365 and 

  
 6 

 
(D) for a period of two years after termination of employment, such continuing coverage under the group health plans the Executive would have received under this Agreement (and at such costs
to the Executive) as would have applied in the absence of such termination (but not taking into account any post-termination increases in Annual Salary that may otherwise have occurred without regard to such termination and that may have favorably
affected such benefits); (iii) the Executive shall be entitled to elimination of any exclusively time-based vesting conditions (but not performance conditions, which shall remain in effect subject to the terms thereof) on any grant under the
LTIP or any other grant of restricted stock, stock options or other equity awards; (iv) Section 3.8 shall apply in accordance with its terms; and (v) the Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits
hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder; provided that the Executive will only be entitled to receive the payments, benefits and accelerated vesting set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) if the
Executive executes and delivers to the Company a general release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, which does not require the release of any payment rights under this Section 5.2(b) or under Section 3.8, within thirty
(30) days following such termination and such release becomes irrevocable at the earliest possible time under applicable law following such execution and delivery. The payments under clause (i) of the second sentence of this
Section 5.2(b) shall be made in a single lump sum within five business days after termination. Any payment or acceleration of vesting that the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the second sentence of
this Section 5.2(b) shall be made by the Company in a single lump sum or occur, respectively, upon the
45th day after termination. 

(c) Notwithstanding clause (ii)(D) of the second sentence of Section 5.2(b), (i) nothing herein shall restrict the ability of
the Company to amend or terminate the plans and programs referred to in such clause (ii)(D) from time to time in its sole discretion, and (ii) the Company shall in no event be required to provide any benefits otherwise required by such clause
(ii)(D) after such time as the Executive becomes entitled to receive benefits of the same type from another employer or recipient of the Executive’s services (such entitlement being determined without regard to any individual waivers or other
similar arrangements). 
 5.3 Change in Control. Without duplication of the foregoing, upon a Change in Control (as
defined below) at any time during or after the Term while the Executive is employed, then, without limiting the payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under Section 5.2 in accordance with its terms (but without duplication
thereof), all outstanding unvested grants under the LTIP or any other grant of restricted stock, stock options or other equity awards subject to time-based vesting conditions (but not performance-based conditions, which shall remain in effect
subject to the terms thereof) shall fully vest and shall become immediately exercisable, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the happening of any of the following: 

(i) any “person,” including a “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), but excluding the Company, any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under
any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any such entity, and the Executive and any “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of which the Executive is a

  
 7 

 
member), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of
either (A) the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or (B) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (in either such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly
from the Company); or 
 (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company resulting in the voting securities of
the Company outstanding immediately prior to the consolidation or merger representing (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) less than 50% of the combined voting power of
the securities of the surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such consolidation or merger; or 
 (iii) there shall occur (A) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by
“persons” (as defined above) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or (B) the approval by shareholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or 
 (iv) the members of the Board at the beginning of any consecutive
24-calendar-month period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason other than due to death to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided that any director whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders, was approved or ratified by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director. 
 5.4 Section 409A. 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company determines that the Executive is a
“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from
service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be
payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is
otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the
installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. Any payments delayed pursuant to 

  
 8 

 
this Section 5.4(a) shall bear interest during the period of such delay at a rate of interest equal to the short-term applicable federal rate for annually compounding obligations for
purposes of Section 1274(d) of the Code, or any successor provision, for the month in which such payment otherwise would have been paid. 
 (b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with
Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and
as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. 

(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation”
under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from
service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A1(h). 

(d) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of
this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

6. Covenants of the Executive. 
 6.1 Covenant Against Competition; Other Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the principal business of the Company (which, for purposes of this Section 6 (and any related
enforcement provisions hereof), expressly includes its successors and assigns), is any commercial activity comprising any one or more of the ownership, acquisition, development or management of industrial real estate (the “Business”);
(ii) the Company is one of the limited number of persons who have developed such a business; (iii) the Company’s Business is currently national in scope within both the United States and Mexico; (iv) the Executive’s work for
the Company will give him access to the confidential affairs and proprietary information of the Company; (v) the covenants and agreements of the Executive contained in this Section 6 are essential to the business and goodwill of the
Company; and (vi) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6. Accordingly, the Executive covenants and agrees that: 

(a) By and in consideration of the salary and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder, including the severance arrangements set
forth herein, and further in consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the proprietary information of the Company, the Executive covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and (except as provided below) ending
one year following the date upon which the Executive shall cease to be an employee of the Company and its Controlled Affiliates (as defined below), he shall not in the United States, or, if and to the extent that the Business is Actively Conducted
(as 

  
 9 

 
defined below) outside of the United States, in the applicable non-U.S. locations, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any element of the Business (other than for the Company or its
Controlled Affiliates), (ii) render any services to any person, corporation, partnership or other entity (other than the Company or its Controlled Affiliates) engaged in any element of the Business, or (iii) become interested in any such
person, corporation, partnership or other entity (other than the Company or its Controlled Affiliates) as a partner, member, manager, shareholder, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant or any person engaged in the Business, or in any other
relationship or capacity; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own or acquire or otherwise invest in, directly or indirectly, securities of any entity, solely for investment purposes and without participating in
the business thereof, if (A) such securities are traded on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and
(C) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such entity. “Actively Conducted” shall mean that the Company actually owns or manages industrial real estate in the specified location,
or has entered into a binding agreement, or a letter of intent, a term sheet, an agreement in principle, or any similar non-binding agreement (which non-binding agreement has not been terminated or expired of its own terms), to purchase or manage
industrial real estate in the specified location. “Controlled Affiliates” shall mean any and all entities that the Company directly or indirectly controls; provided that, if after the date hereof there is a reorganization of the Company
and a new holding company is established thereover, which controls the Company, then “Controlled Affiliates” shall also include such holding company and any affiliates that are controlled by the new parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if either (i) employment terminates upon or after the scheduled expiration of the Term (without any early termination under Section 4 or 5) or (ii) employment terminates following a Change in Control and Section 5.2(b) applies,
then the restrictions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not extend beyond the date of termination of employment. 
 (b) During
and after the Term, the Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for his benefit or the benefit of others, except in connection with the business and affairs of the Company and its Controlled Affiliates, all
confidential matters relating to the Company’s Business and the business of any of its Controlled Affiliates and to the Company and any of its Controlled Affiliates, learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter directly or indirectly from
the Company or any of its Controlled Affiliates, including, without limitation, information with respect to (i) sources and non-public methods of raising capital, (ii) non-public information related to joint ventures, institutional funds
and the partners or other investors therein, and (iii) any other material, non-public information (the “Confidential Company Information”); and shall not disclose such Confidential Company Information to anyone outside of the Company
except (w) with the Company’s express written consent, (x) Confidential Company Information which is at the time of receipt or thereafter becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Executive or is received from a third
party not under an obligation to keep such information confidential and without breach of this Agreement, (y) as required by law or legal process (provided that the Executive shall give the Company reasonable prior written notice of disclosure
under this clause (y)), and (z) for disclosures to counsel in the context of seeking legal advice where counsel agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to be bound by the restrictions of this sentence. 

  
 10 

 (c) From the date hereof through the end of the one-year period commencing with the
Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage to leave the employment or other service of the Company, or any of its
Controlled Affiliates, any employee, or independent contractor of the Company where the independent contractor performs (or in the prior year has performed) a substantial portion of his services for the Company, or (ii) hire (on behalf of the
Executive or any other person or entity) any employee or independent contractor of the Company, where the independent contractor performs (or in the last year of service to the Company has performed) a substantial portion of his services for the
Company, who has left the employment or other service of the Company or any of its Controlled Affiliates within the one-year period which follows the termination of such employee’s or independent contractor’s employment or other service
with the Company and its Controlled Affiliates. From the date hereof through the end of the one-year period commencing with the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, the Executive will not, whether for his own account or for
the account of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, intentionally interfere with the Company’s or any of its Controlled Affiliates’ relationship with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or any of its
Controlled Affiliates, any person who during the Term is or was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Company or any of its Controlled Affiliates. While the Executive’s non-compete obligations under
Section 6.1(a) are in effect (or would have been in effect if not for clause (ii) of the last sentence of Section 6.1(a)), the Executive shall not publish any statement or make any statement under circumstances reasonably likely to
become public that is critical of the Company or any of its Controlled Affiliates, or in any way adversely affecting or otherwise maligning the Business or reputation of the Company or any of its Controlled Affiliates (provided that nothing in this
sentence is intended to prevent the Executive from including in his pleadings or from his testimony any truthful matter to the extent necessary to defend against any claim by the Company or a third party against the Executive, or to prosecute any
claim against the Company for a breach of this Agreement). 
 (d) All memoranda, notes, lists, records, property and any other
tangible product and documents (and all copies thereof), whether visually perceptible, machine-readable or otherwise, made, produced or compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive concerning the business of the Company or its
Controlled Affiliates, (i) shall at all times be the property of the Company (and, as applicable, any Controlled Affiliates) and shall be delivered to the Company at any time upon its request, and (ii) upon the Executive’s termination
of employment, shall be immediately returned to the Company. 
 (e) During and after the Executive’s employment, the
Executive shall cooperate reasonably with the Company in the defense or assertion of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that
transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company, other than any such claims or actions which may be brought in the future against the Company by the Executive. The Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions
shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the
Executive also shall cooperate reasonably with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local 

  
 11 

 
regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall not utilize this
Section 6.1(e) to require the Executive to make himself available to an extent that would unreasonably interfere with full-time employment responsibilities that the Executive may have. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any
pre-approved reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) within ten business days after receipt of appropriate documentation consistent with the
Company’s business expense reimbursement policy. In addition, for all time that the Executive reasonably expends at the request of the Company in cooperating with the Company or any of its affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) where
the Executive is no longer employed by the Company, the Company shall compensate the Executive at a per hour rate equal to the sum of (A) Annual Salary in the Executive’s last fiscal year of employment during the Term plus (B) the
Executive’s actual annual cash bonus for the last fiscal year of employment during the Term for which such a bonus was determined, divided by 2,000; provided that the Executive’s right to such compensation shall not apply to time spent in
activities that could have been compelled pursuant to a subpoena, including testimony and related attendance at depositions, hearings or trials. All such compensation will be paid on a monthly, or, at the option of the Company, more frequent basis,
within ten business days after receipt of a detailed invoice, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, documenting the time spent by the Executive cooperating with the Company. 

6.2 Rights and Remedies upon Breach. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach by him of any of the provisions of
Section 6.1 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. Therefore, if the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
provisions of Section 6.1, the Company and its Controlled Affiliates shall have, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its Controlled Affiliates under law or in equity (including, without
limitation, the recovery of damages), the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the need to prove damages) by any court having equity jurisdiction, including, without limitation,
the right to an entry against the Executive of restraining orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such covenants. 

6.3 Certain Colorado Matters. The Executive acknowledges the following provisions of Colorado law, set forth in Colorado Revised
Statutes Section 8-2-113(2): 
 Any covenant not to compete which restricts the right of any person to receive compensation for performance
of skilled or unskilled labor for any employer shall be void, but this subsection (2) shall not apply to: 
 (a) Any
contract for the purchase and sale of a business or the assets of a business; 
 (b) Any contract for the protection of trade
secrets; 

  
 12 

 (c) Any contract provision providing for the recovery of the expense of educating and
training an employee who has served an employer for a period of less than two years; 
 (d) Executive and management personnel
and officers and employees who constitute professional staff to executive and management personnel. 
 The Executive acknowledges that this
Agreement is executed for the protection of trade secrets under Section 8-2-113(2)(b), and is intended to protect the confidential information and trade secrets of the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that he is “executive [or]
management personnel” within the meaning of Section 8-2-113(2)(d). 
 7. Other Provisions. 

7.1 Severability. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) he has had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in
connection with this Agreement and (ii) the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. 

7.2 Duration and Scope of Covenants. If any court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the
Executive’s covenants contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision, then, after such
determination has become final and unappealable, the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be
enforced. 
 7.3 Enforceability; Jurisdiction; Arbitration. 

(a) The Company and the Executive intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants set forth in
Section 6 upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants. 
 (b) Any
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement (other than a controversy or claim arising under Section 6, to the extent necessary for the Company (or its Controlled Affiliates, where
applicable) to avail itself of the rights and remedies referred to in Section 6.2) that is not resolved by the Executive and the Company (or its Controlled Affiliates, where applicable) shall be submitted to arbitration in Denver, Colorado in
accordance with Colorado law and the procedures of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the Company (or its Controlled Affiliates, where applicable)
and the Executive and judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall bear one-half of the costs of any arbitration and the Executive, as the other party to the arbitration, shall bear the
other half; each party will bear its own attorney’s fees and costs.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 BROADRIDGE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, INC. 
 OFFICER SEVERANCE PLAN

 Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has adopted this Broadridge
Financial Solutions, Inc. Officer Severance Plan (the “Plan”), first effective as of September 16, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), and as may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in
accordance with Section VII.B below. 
 I. Purpose 
 The Plan is maintained for the purpose of providing severance payments for a select group of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries covered by this Plan whose employment is terminated under the
circumstances set forth in this Plan. 
 II. Term 
 The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date and continue until terminated by the Board with 6 months’ advance notice to Eligible Employees in accordance with Section VII below. 

III. Eligibility 
 The
employees eligible to participate in this Plan at any time (together, the “Eligible Employees”) shall be comprised of each employee of the Company or its subsidiaries who has been designated by the Board as a corporate officer of the
Company in Pay Grade “EX.CO” or above; provided that if an employee has an agreement with the Company or one of its subsidiaries that is in effect and that provides for payment of severance in connection with any termination of
employment, the employee will not be an Eligible Employee during the period of effectiveness of that agreement. 
 IV. Severance

 Subject to Section IV.D below, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in this Section IV
if his or her employment is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries without “Cause” (a “Covered Termination”). For purposes of this Plan, “Cause” shall mean: (1) the Eligible Employee is convicted of,
or pleads nolo contendere to, a felony; (2) willful misconduct by the Eligible Employee resulting in material harm to the Company; (3) the Eligible Employee commits an act constituting fraud, embezzlement, theft, or dishonesty against the
Company or a subsidiary resulting in material harm to the Company; (4) continuing failure by the Eligible Employee to perform his or her duties after written notice thereof from the Company or a subsidiary; or (5) material breach the
Eligible Employee of any term of any confidentiality, non-solicitation and/or non-competition agreements with the Company or a subsidiary. 

 A. Accrued Wages and Expense Reimbursements 

If an Eligible Employee experiences a Covered Termination, the Eligible Employee shall receive: (1) the Eligible Employee’s
accrued but unpaid wages and accrued but unused time off due through the date of termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, (2) any annual bonus that is earned by the Eligible Employee but unpaid for the fiscal
year prior to the year of termination, to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Company’s annual bonus plan, and (3) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Eligible Employee prior to the date of
termination in accordance with Company policy (and for which the Eligible Employee has submitted proper documentation as may be required by the Company). 
 B. Severance Payments 
 If an Eligible Employee experiences a Covered
Termination, the Eligible Employee shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section IV. D below, be entitled to severance payments as follows: 
 (1) continued payment of the Eligible Employee’s base salary (as of the date of termination) for 18 months (or, solely in the case of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)of the Company, for
24 months) following the date of termination (as applicable, the “Severance Period”), and such severance amount shall be paid, subject to Section XI.H below, during the applicable Severance Period in substantially equal installments
(each, a “Severance Installment”) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; provided, however, that the Eligible Employee shall not receive any such Severance Installment until the first scheduled payroll date
that occurs sixty days or more following the date of termination (the “First Payment Date”) and, on the First Payment Date, the Company shall pay the Eligible Employee an amount equal to the sum of the Severance Installments that would
have been payable in respect of the period preceding the First Payment Date but for the delay imposed by this proviso; and 
 (2) payment of a prorated (based on the period during the Company’s fiscal year prior to the Eligible Employee’s date of termination) annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Covered
Termination occurs, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) based on actual financial performance of the Company for the fiscal year (and any portion of the annual bonus which is to be paid
based on personal performance of the Eligible Employee for the fiscal year will be scored (and paid) at the same level as the achievement of the relevant financial performance metrics of the Company for the fiscal year), such amount to be paid at
the time annual bonuses are normally paid for such fiscal year in accordance with the terms of the Company’s annual bonus plan; provided, however, that, solely in the case of the CEO of the Company, such annual bonus shall not be
prorated. 

  
 -2-

 C. Equity Awards 

If an Eligible Employee experiences a Covered Termination, such Eligible Employee’s stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock
units and other equity-based compensation awards shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable plan and award agreements. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, awards granted after the Effective Date will
provide as follows: (i) stock options will provide for continued vesting through the Severance Period; (ii) time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units will provide for continued vesting through the Severance Period; and
(iii) performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units will provide for continued vesting through the Severance Period with pay out of any vested awards on the original vesting date, and, in the case of a Covered Termination that
occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the portion of the award that vests will be determined based on actual performance for the entire performance period and by prorating to reflect the portion of the performance period worked.

 D. Conditions to Severance 
 Payment of the amounts described in Section IV.B above (collectively referred to as “Severance”) is conditioned on (i) the Eligible Employee’s execution and delivery within 50 days
after the date of termination (and nonrevocation within any statutory revocation period) of a Release and Restrictive Covenant Agreement in the form attached to this Plan as Exhibit A, as such Release and Restrictive Covenant Agreement may be
modified by the Compensation Committee, and (ii) the Eligible Employee’s compliance with the terms of the Release and Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if at any time (a) the
Eligible Employee breaches any of the provisions of the Release and Restrictive Covenant Agreement or (b) the Plan Administrator (as defined below) determines that grounds existed, on or prior to the date of termination of the Eligible
Employee’s employment with the Company, including prior to the Effective Date, for the Company to terminate the Eligible Employee’s employment for Cause: (1) no further payments shall be due under Section IV.B; and (2) the
Eligible Employee shall be obligated to repay to the Company, immediately and in a cash lump sum, the amount of any Severance previously received by the Eligible Employee (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be calculated on a pre-tax basis);
provided that the Eligible Employee shall in all events be entitled to receive accrued wages and expense reimbursement as set forth in Section IV.A above. 
 E. Other Employee Benefits 
 All other benefits under employee pension plans
and welfare plans of the Company, if any, due to the Eligible Employee following the date of termination shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the employee benefit plans of the Company as applicable. This Plan is not
intended to, and shall not, result in any duplication of payments or benefits payable or provided by the Company to any Eligible Employee. 

  
 -3-

 V. No Mitigation 
 In order for an Eligible Employee to receive the Severance described in this Plan, the Eligible Employee shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the obligations of the
Company under this Plan and there shall be no offset against any amounts due under this Plan on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the Eligible Employee may obtain. 

VI. Plan Administration 

A. Compensation Committee 
 The Plan shall be interpreted, administered and operated by the Compensation Committee, which shall have the complete authority, in its sole discretion, subject to the express provisions of this Plan, to
interpret this Plan, adopt any rules and regulations for carrying out this Plan as may be appropriate and decide any and all matters and make any and all determinations arising under or otherwise necessary or advisable for the administration of this
Plan. All interpretations and decisions by the Compensation Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties affected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee shall have the right to delegate to any
individual member of the Compensation Committee or to any executive of the Company any of the Compensation Committee’s authority under this Plan; provided, that no person shall act as Plan Administrator in any matter directly relating to
his or her eligibility or amount of Severance under this Plan. The Compensation Committee and/or the member of the Compensation Committee or the executive of the Company, or one of its subsidiaries delegated any authority under this Plan shall be
referred to in this Plan as the “Plan Administrator.” 
 B. Expenses and Liabilities 

All expenses and liabilities that the Plan Administrator incur in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be borne by the
Company. The Plan Administrator may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons in connection with such administration, and the Plan Administrator, the Company and the Company’s officers and directors shall
be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. No member of the Compensation Committee or any executive delegated by the Compensation Committee as Plan Administrator shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Plan, and all members of the Compensation Committee and any executive delegated by the Compensation Committee as the Plan Administrator shall be fully protected by the Company
in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation to the extent permitted by the Company’s charter, its bylaws and applicable law. 

  
 -4-

 VII. Termination and Amendment 

A. Termination 
 The Board may terminate this Plan in accordance with Section II of this Plan, provided that no termination shall adversely affect the payments or benefits to which any Eligible
Employee has become entitled by virtue of a Covered Termination occurring before the time of termination of this Plan. Any notice of termination shall be given at least 6 months prior to the effective date of such termination and shall be in
accordance with Section VII.C below.  
 B. Amendment 

The Board may amend this Plan in any manner, provided that, in the event an amendment is determined by the Board to be, in the
aggregate, material and adverse to an Eligible Employee (taking into account any aspects of such amendments that are beneficial to the Eligible Employee), the Board shall provide 6 months’ advance notice to such Eligible Employee in accordance
with Section VII.C below. In addition, the Board may, at any time, amend this Plan in any manner it determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate (1) to comply with applicable law or (2) to comply with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Any notice of amendment shall be in accordance with Section VII.C below. 
 C. Notice of Termination or Amendment 
 The Board shall be deemed to have
provided any notice required by this Section VII if the Board, or the Compensation Committee at the direction of the Board makes a reasonable, good faith effort to email or otherwise contact all Eligible Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, notice
shall be deemed to have been validly delivered to every Eligible Employee notwithstanding that certain individual Eligible Employees do not receive actual notice, if the Board or the Compensation Committee at the direction of the Board makes
reasonable, good faith efforts as provided in the preceding sentence. 
 VIII. Arbitration 

Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Plan shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration. This
arbitration shall be held in [New York, NY] and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect at the time of the arbitration. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both
the Company and the Eligible Employee. If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute shall be decided by a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators.
Judgment on the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  
 -5-

 IX. Withholding Taxes 
 The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan such federal, state, local or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

X. Miscellaneous 
 A.
Not Compensation For Other Benefit Plans 
 Any Severance received by an Eligible Employee under this Plan shall not be
counted as compensation for purposes of determining benefits under other benefit plans, programs, policies and agreements. 

B. Rights Under Other Plans 
 Eligible Employees will not be entitled to severance or salary continuation benefits under any other severance or salary continuation plan, policy or arrangement of the Company or its subsidiaries, except
that an Eligible Employee will be entitled to participate in the Broadridge Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers (the “CIC Plan”) so long as the Eligible Employee qualifies as a participant under the terms of the CIC
Plan, as in effect from time to time. Subject to the next sentence in this Section X.B, as provided in Section 6.7(b) of the CIC Plan, if an Eligible Employee is due benefits or payments under both this Plan and the CIC Plan and/or where
the CIC Plan and this Plan have inconsistent or conflicting terms and conditions, the Eligible Employee shall receive the greater of the benefits and payments, and the more favorable terms and conditions to the Eligible Employee, under this Plan and
the CIC Plan, determined on an item-by-item basis. Notwithstanding any provision in the CIC Plan or this Plan to the contrary, if an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates (i) following a Change in Control (as defined in the CIC Plan)
but prior to a “change in control event” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5)) with respect to the Company, (ii) during the third year following a Change in Control, or (iii) prior to a Change in Control
under the circumstances described in the second sentence of Section 7.5 of the CIC Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code, amounts payable to the Eligible Employee
under the CIC Plan, to the extent not in excess of the amount that the Eligible Employee would have received as severance pay under this Plan had this Plan (and not the CIC Plan) been applicable, shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided
in Section IV.B. of this Plan and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Eligible Employee in accordance with Section 1.1(b) of the CIC Plan. 
 C. Unfunded Obligation 
 Any Severance provided under this Plan shall
constitute an unfunded obligation of the Company. Severance Installments paid under this Plan will be made, when due, entirely by the Company from its general assets. This Plan shall constitute solely an unsecured promise by the Company to provide
Severance to Eligible Employees to the extent provided herein. Nothing in this Plan shall restrict the Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any other employee benefit plans. 

  
 -6-

 D. Employment Status 

The Plan is not a contract of employment, does not guarantee the Eligible Employee employment for any specified period and does not limit
the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Eligible Employee at any time for any reason or no reason or to change the status of any Eligible Employee’s employment or to change any employment policies. 

E. Section Headings 
 The section headings contained in this Plan are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not in any way affect the meaning of any provision of this Plan. 

F. Governing Law 
 The Plan and all rights under this Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 

G. Assignment 
 This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by an Eligible Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. If an Eligible Employee should die while any amount is still payable to the Eligible Employee under this Plan had the Eligible Employee continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Plan, or as determined by the Compensation Committee, to the Eligible Employee’s estate. An Eligible Employee’s rights under this Plan shall not otherwise be transferable or subject to lien or attachment. 

H. Section 409A 
 It is intended that this Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), to the extent the Plan is
subject thereto, and the Plan shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, if an Eligible Employee is deemed on the date of his or her “separation from service”
(within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i)), then with regard to any payment that is considered deferred
compensation under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service” that is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code (after taking into account any applicable exceptions to such
requirement), such payment shall be made on the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Eligible Employee’s “separation from service,” or (ii) the date of the
Eligible Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section X.H (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments

  
 -7-

 
in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Eligible Employee in a lump sum and any remaining payments due under this Plan shall be paid in accordance with the normal payment
dates specified for them herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, for purposes of any provision of this Plan providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following a termination of employment that are considered
deferred compensation under Section 409A, references to the Eligible Employee’s “termination of employment” (and corollary terms) with the Company shall be construed to refer to the Eligible Employee’s “separation from
service” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company. With respect to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries that constitute deferred compensation for purposes of
Section 409A, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the following conditions shall be applicable: (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, under any such arrangement in one calendar year may
not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, under such arrangement in any other calendar year (except that the health and dental plans may impose a limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid),
(ii) any reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit. Whenever a payment under this Plan specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after termination of employment”), the actual
date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. Whenever payments under this Plan are to be made in installments, each such installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of
Section 409A.

that the Company has made no representations to the Employee as to the applicability of Section 409A of the Code to any of the payments or benefits provided to the Employee pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement. 

IV. Release of Claims 

In partial consideration of the payments described in Section IV.B. of the Plan, to which the Employee agrees the Employee is not entitled
until and unless Employee executes (and does not revoke) this Agreement, the Employee, for and on behalf of the Employee and the Employee’s heirs and assigns (the “Releasors”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and
forever discharges the Company and its members, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, 

  
 -9-

 
affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, any and all current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors (in their capacities as such) and their heirs and assigns, and any and
all employee pension benefit or welfare benefit plans of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including current and former trustees and administrators of such employee pension benefit and welfare benefit plans (collectively, the
“Releasees”), from all claims, actions, causes of action, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, charges, accountings, demands or liabilities of whatever kind or character, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, (collectively,
the “Claims”) which may have existed or which may now exist from the beginning of time to the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Claims the Releasors may have arising from or relating to the Employee’s
employment, hiring or entering into employment or termination from employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates or relating to any agreement between the Employee and the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, and any Claims the
Releasors may have under: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (which prohibit discrimination in employment based upon race, color, sex, religion and national origin); the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, as amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (which prohibit discrimination based upon disability); the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (which prohibits discrimination based on requesting or taking a family or medical leave);
Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (which prohibits discrimination based upon race); Section 1985(3) of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (which prohibits conspiracies to discriminate); the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (which governs employee benefits); any other federal, state, local or foreign laws against discrimination; or any other federal, state, local or foreign statute, or common law relating to employment, wages, hours, or any other terms
and conditions of employment. This includes a release by the Releasors of any Claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, torts or any other Claims in any way related to the Employee’s employment with, hiring by or termination from the
Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. This release also includes a release of any Claims for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act and the
applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ADEA”). The ADEA requires that the Employee be advised to consult with an attorney before the Employee waives any claim under ADEA. This release does not release the Company from
any obligations due to the Employee under this Agreement, and the Employee is not waiving any right of indemnification he may have under the Company’s charter documents and applicable law or the right to coverage under any directors &
officers liability insurance maintained by the Company. In addition, the Employee waives any claim to reinstatement or re-employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, and the Employee agrees not to bring any claim based upon the failure or
refusal of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to employ the Employee hereafter. 
 V. Proceedings 

The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has not filed any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding against any of the Releasees before
any local, state or federal agency, court or other body (each individually a “Proceeding”). The Employee represents that the Employee is not aware of any basis on which such a Proceeding could reasonably be instituted. By signing this
Agreement the Employee: (a) acknowledges that the Employee shall not initiate or cause to be initiated on his or her behalf any Proceeding and shall not participate in any Proceeding, in 

  
 -10-

 
each case, except as required by law; (b) waives any right Employee may have to benefit in any manner from any relief (whether monetary or otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding, including
any Proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”); and (c) acknowledges that the Employee shall be limiting the availability of certain remedies that the Employee may have against the Company and
limiting also the Employee’s ability to pursue certain claims against the Releasees. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in Section V of this Agreement shall prevent the Employee from: (x) initiating or causing to be initiated on his or her
behalf any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding against the Company before any local, state or federal agency, court or other body challenging the validity of the waiver of his or her claims under the ADEA contained in Section IV of this Agreement
(but no other portion of such waiver), or (y) initiating or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC. 

VI. Time to Consider 

The payments and benefits payable to the Employee under this Agreement include consideration provided to Employee over and above anything
of value to which the Employee already is entitled. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has been advised that the Employee has [21] days from the date of the Employee’s receipt of this Agreement to consider all the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 THE EMPLOYEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EMPLOYEE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, HAS BEEN ADVISED BY THE
COMPANY TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY, AND FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING BELOW THE EMPLOYEE IS GIVING UP CERTAIN RIGHTS WHICH THE EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE TO SUE OR ASSERT A CLAIM AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASEES, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION IV OF THIS AGREEMENT AND

Employee hereby acknowledges and understands that the Employee shall have seven days from the date of the Employee’s execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (including, without limitation, any and all claims arising under the ADEA)
by providing written notice of revocation delivered to the Plan Administrator no later than 5:00 p.m. on the seventh day after the Employee has signed the Agreement. Neither the Company nor any other person is obligated to provide any benefits to
the Employee pursuant to Section IV of the Plan until eight days have passed since the Employee’s signing of this Agreement without the Employee having revoked this Agreement. If the Employee revokes this Agreement pursuant to this Section, the
Employee shall be deemed not to have accepted the terms of this Agreement, and no action shall be required of the Company under any section of this Agreement.

 VIII. No Admission 
 This Agreement does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing of any kind by the Employee or the Company. 
 IX. Restrictive Covenants 
 During the Employee’s employment with the
Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Employee participated in policy decisions and had access to the confidential information and trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries which constitute valuable, highly confidential, special and unique
property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Employee agrees as follows: 
 A. Noncompetition 

During the Severance Period, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, become or be interested in, employed by, or associated with in
any capacity, any person, corporation, partnership or other entity whatsoever (a “Person”) engaged in any aspect of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ businesses or businesses the Company or any of its subsidiaries has formal
plans to enter on the Termination Date, in a capacity which is the same or similar to any capacity in which the Employee was involved during the last two years of his or her employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions
set forth in this Section IX.A shall apply only to the business or businesses that the Company or any of its subsidiaries is engaged in or has formal plans to enter with which the Employee was involved. After the Termination Date, however, nothing
shall prevent the Employee from owning, as an inactive investor, securities of any competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are listed on a national securities exchange. Furthermore, after the Termination Date, the Employee may
become employed in a separate, autonomous division of a corporation, provided such division is not a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
 B. Confidentiality/Return of Materials 
 During and after his or her
employment by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Employee will not use, or disclose to any Person any confidential information, trade secrets or proprietary information of the Company or its subsidiaries, its vendors, licensors, marketing
partners or clients, learned by the Employee during his or her employment and/or any of the names and addresses of clients of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Employee acknowledges that he or she is prohibited from taking any
confidential, proprietary or other materials or property of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of employment. Upon termination of employment, the Employee shall return all materials of the Company and its subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, all memoranda and notes containing the names, addresses and/or needs of clients of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and bona fide prospective clients) in the Employee’s possession or over which the Employee exercises
control, regardless of whether such materials were prepared by the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Employee or a third party. 

  
 -12-

 C. Nonsolicitation of Clients 

During the Severance Period, the Employee shall not, on the Employee’s behalf or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly,
solicit, contact, call upon, communicate with or attempt to communicate with any Person which was a client or a bona fide prospective client of the Company or any of its subsidiaries before the Termination Date to sell (license or lease) any
software or service competitive or potentially competitive with any software or services sold, licensed, leased, provided or under development by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the two-year period prior to the Termination Date,
provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section IX.C shall only apply to clients or bona fide prospective clients of businesses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with which the Employee was involved. 

D. Nonsolicitation of Employees 
 During the Severance Period, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, contract with, solicit, or encourage any employee to leave the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
or (ii) hire or contract with any former employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries within one year after the date such person ceases to be an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

E. Work Product 
 The Employee understands and acknowledges that the Company shall have the sole and exclusive rights to anything relating to its actual or prospective business which the Employee conceived or worked on,
either in whole or in part, while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries and that all such work product may be property of the Company as “works for hire” under federal copyright law and may also constitute confidential and
proprietary information of the Company. Accordingly, the Employee: 
  

	 	(a)	will promptly and fully disclose all such items to the Company and will not disclose such items to any other person or entity without the Company’s consent;

  

	 	(b)	will maintain on the Company’s behalf and surrender to the Company upon termination of employment appropriate written records regarding all such items;

  

	 	(c)	will, but without personal expense, fully cooperate with the Company, execute all papers and perform all acts requested by the Company to establish, confirm or protect
its exclusive rights in such items or to enable it to transfer legal title to such items, together with any patents that may be issued; 

  

	 	(d)	will, but without personal expense, provide such information and true testimony as the Company may request regarding such items including, without limitation, items
which the Employee neither conceived nor worked on but regarding which the Employee has knowledge because of the Employee’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries; 

  
 -13-

	 	(e)	hereby assigns to the Company, its successors and assigns, exclusive right, title and interest in and to all such items, including any patents which have been or may be
issued; and 

  

	 	(f)	states that only such items in which the Employee personally holds or claims an interest and which are not subject to this Agreement are listed on the Ownership
Schedule attached hereto. The absence of an Ownership Schedule means that no such items exist. 

 F.
Restrictions Reasonable 
 It is expressly understood and agreed that, although the Employee and the Company consider the
restrictions contained in this Section IX to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section IX or elsewhere in this Agreement is
an unenforceable restriction against the Employee, the provisions of the Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially
determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding
shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 
 G. Nondisparagement 

The Employee agrees (whether during or after the Employee’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries) not to issue,
circulate, publish or utter any false or disparaging statements, remarks or rumors about the Company or its subsidiaries or the officers, directors or managers of the Company or its subsidiaries other than to the extent reasonably necessary in order
to respond in a truthful and appropriate manner to any legal process or give truthful and appropriate testimony in a legal or regulatory proceeding. 
 H. Code of Conduct 
 The Employee agrees to abide by all of the terms of the
Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics1 that
continue to apply after termination of employment. 
 I. Cooperation 

The Employee agrees to cooperate: (a) with the Company to provide information or other assistance relating to existing business
operations or activities of the Company during the 
  

	1 	 Insert “and the Code of Ethics for the Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers” if applicable to the Employee.

  
 -14-

 
Severance Period; and (b) with the Company in connection with any litigation or regulatory matters in which the Employee may have relevant knowledge or information. This cooperation shall
include, without limitation, the following: (x) to meet and confer, at a time mutually convenient to the Employee and the Company, with the Company’s designated in-house or outside attorneys for trial preparation purposes, including
answering questions, explaining factual situations, preparing to testify, or appearing for deposition; (y) to appear for trial and give truthful trial testimony without the need to serve a subpoena for such appearance and testimony; and
(z) to give truthful sworn statements to the Company’s attorneys upon their request and, for purposes of any deposition or trial testimony, to adopt the Company’s attorneys as the Employee’s own (provided that there is no
conflict of interest that would disqualify the attorneys from representing the Employee), and to accept their record instructions at deposition. The Company agrees to reimburse the Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses necessarily incurred
by the Employee in connection with the cooperation set forth in this Section IX. I. 
 X. Enforcement 

If at any time (a) the Employee breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) the Plan Administrator of the Plan
determines that grounds existed, on or prior to the Termination Date, including prior to the Effective Date of the Plan, for the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment for “Cause” (as defined in the Plan), (y) no further
payments or benefits shall be due to the Employee under this Agreement and/or the Plan; and (z) the Employee shall be obligated to repay to the Company, immediately and in a cash lump sum, the amount of any Severance previously received by the
Employee under this Agreement and/or the Plan (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be calculated on a pre-tax basis); provided that the Employee shall in all events be entitled to receive accrued but unpaid wages, any earned but unpaid
annual bonus and expense reimbursement as set forth in Section IV.A of the Plan. 
 The Employee acknowledges and agrees that
the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections IX. of this Agreement would be inadequate, and, in recognition of this fact, the Employee agrees that, in the event of such a breach or
threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any
other equitable remedy which may then be available. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to immediately cease paying any amounts remaining due or providing any benefits to the Employee pursuant to Section IV of the Plan upon a determination by
the “Plan Administrator” (as defined in the Plan) that the Employee has violated any provision of Section IX of this Agreement, subject to payment of all such amounts upon a final determination, in accordance with Section XI.E below, that
the Employee had not violated Section IX of this Agreement. 
 XI. General Provisions 

A. No Waiver; Severability 
 A failure of the Company or any of the Releasees to insist on strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other

  
 -15-

 
provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, and in the
event that any provision is determined to be entirely unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable, such that all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and binding upon the Employee and the Releasees. 

B. Governing Law 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE WHOLLY PERFORMED WITHIN THAT STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS OR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THAT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 C. Entire Agreement/Counterparts 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement between the Company and the Employee with regard to all matters herein and supersedes any other agreements between the Company and the Employee relating to noncompetition and nonsolicitation of clients and employees.
