prohibited by applicable federal, state and/or local law.
(b) The
Executive acknowledges that he is aware that he may later discover facts in addition to or different from those which he now knows
or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Release, but it is his intention to fully and finally forever
settle and release any and all matters, disputes, and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, which now exist, may
later exist or may previously have existed between himself and the Releasees or any of them, and that in furtherance of this
intention, the Executive’s general release given herein shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete general release
notwithstanding discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.
(c) Executive
represents that he has not filed or permitted to be filed and will not file against the Releasees, any claim, complaints, charges, arbitration
or lawsuits and covenants and agrees that he will not seek or be entitled to any personal recovery in any court or before any governmental
agency, arbitrator or self-regulatory body against any of the Releasees arising out of any matters set forth in Section 1(a) hereof.
If Executive has or should file such a claim, complaint, charge, grievance, arbitration, lawsuit or similar action, he agrees to remove,
dismiss or take similar action to eliminate such claim, complaint, charge, grievance, arbitration, lawsuit or similar action within five
(5) days of signing this General Release.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this General Release is not intended to interfere with Executive’s right to file a charge with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “EEOC”) in connection with any claim he believes he may have against
the Company. However, Executive hereby agrees to waive the right to recover money damages in any proceeding he may bring before the EEOC
or any other similar body or in any proceeding brought by the EEOC or any other similar body on his behalf. This General Release does
not release, waive or give up any claim for workers’ compensation benefits, indemnification or director’s and officer’s
liability insurance rights, any Accrued Benefits, Severance Payments, vested retirement or welfare benefits he is entitled to under the
terms of the Company’s retirement and welfare benefit plans, any other vested shares, equity or benefits (including rights with
respect to vested Equity Interests, OP Units and other REIT securities held by the Executive) or indemnification arrangements, as in
effect from time to time, any right to unemployment compensation that Executive may have, or his right to enforce his rights under the
Agreement and this General Release.
2. CONFIRMATION OF OBLIGATIONS. Executive hereby confirms and agrees to his continuing obligation under the Agreement and the Separation
Agreement after termination of employment not to directly or indirectly disclose to third parties or use any Confidential Information

3. CONFIDENTIALITY; NO COMPETITION; NONSOLICITATION.

statutory or common law.
(b) The Executive and the Company each agree to keep the terms of this General Release confidential and shall not disclose the fact
or terms to third parties, except as required by applicable law or regulation or by court order or, as to the Company, in the normal course
of its business; provided, however, that Executive may disclose the terms of this General Release to members of his immediate
family, his attorney or counselor, and persons assisting him in financial planning or tax preparation, provided these people agree to
keep such information confidential.
4. NO
DISPARAGEMENT. Each of the Executive and the Company agree not to disparage the other, including making any statement or comments or
engaging in any conduct that is disparaging toward the Company (including the Releasees and each of them) or the Executive, as the
case may be, whether directly or indirectly, by name or innuendo; provided, however, that nothing in this General
Release shall restrict communications protected as privileged under federal or state law to testimony or communications ordered and
required by a court, in arbitration or by an administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, or limit the Executive’s ability
to communicate with or participate in any investigation or proceeding (including by providing documents or other information,
without notice to the Company) regarding possible violations of federal securities laws that may be conducted by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission.
5. REMEDIES
FOR BREACH. In the event that either Party breaches, violates, fails or refuses to comply with any of the provisions, terms or
conditions or any of the warranties or representations of this Agreement (the “Breach”), in its sole discretion the
non-breaching Party shall recover against the breaching Party damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accruing to the
non- breaching Party as a consequence of the Breach. Regardless of and in addition to any right to damages the non-breaching Party
may have, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 hereof are
material and critical terms of this Agreement, and the Executive agrees that, if he breaches any of the provisions of these
paragraphs, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against the Executive regardless of and in addition to any other
remedies which are available.

regarding this General Release or the implications thereof.
7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) This
General Release contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements,

of law or conflict of law, principles, rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
