The Company hereby acknowledges and approves the current activities of the Executive as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, each of which shall be deemed a Personal Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Personal Activities include the Executive providing services to any for-profit company (excluding Colony Capital, LLC and CLNY, and any subsidiaries or portfolio companies thereof) as a member of such company’s board of directors, only two such directorships shall be permitted as a Personal Activity.

The Base Salary will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s customary compensation practices from time to time in effect for the Company’s senior executive officers. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Base Salary from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Base Salary without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

(b)     Annual Cash Bonus

(i)    For each calendar year during the Employment Term beginning with the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs, the Executive shall be given an

opportunity to earn an annual incentive cash bonus based on an evaluation by the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) of the Executive’s performance in respect of the applicable calendar year; provided , that , the Board or such committee may determine prior to the beginning of any such calendar year to instead condition the payment of all or a portion of the cash bonus with respect to the applicable calendar year upon the achievement of performance measures determined by the Board or such committee in consultation with the Executive (as applicable, the “ Annual Bonus ”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus for each calendar year during the Employment Term (including the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs) shall be no less than $1,261,000 (such amount, as increased from time to time, the “Target Bonus Amount”). If the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board), establishes reasonable performance measures as provided for above, the actual Annual Bonus amount paid to the Executive in respect of any calendar year during the Employment Term shall be based on the achievement of the applicable performance measures and may be less or more than the applicable Target Bonus Amount. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target Bonus Amount from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target Bonus Amount without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement. The Executive’s Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs shall not be pro-rated.

(ii)    Any Annual Bonus payment that becomes payable to the Executive hereunder will be paid to him in a cash lump sum by no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which it relates (and no later than the date on which bonuses are paid to other senior executive officers of CLNY); provided , that , except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Executive is an active employee as of, and has not given or received notice of termination of employment as of, the date such payment would otherwise be made.

The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target LTIP Award (and any applicable performance measures) from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target LTIP Award without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

Allocations of

all Fund Incentives shall be made as determined by the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) in consultation with the Executive.

(iii)    The terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives shall be no less favorable than the terms and conditions of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives, as applicable, granted to the executive officers of the Company during the same calendar year.

(d)     Retirement, Welfare and Fringe Benefits . During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the retirement savings, medical, disability, life insurance, perquisite and other welfare and fringe benefit plans applicable to senior executive officers of CLNY (which will include emergency airlift (if needed) from locations outside the United States to the United States) generally in accordance with the terms of such plans as are in effect from time to time. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the ability of the Company to amend, modify or terminate any such benefit plans, policies or programs in accordance with their terms or to cease providing such benefit plans, policies or programs at any time and from time to time; provided , that , subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(d), the terms and conditions imposed on Executive’s participation in such plans, policies or programs and any adverse amendments, terminations and modifications are at least as favorable to Executive as those applicable to other senior executives.

(h)     No Set-Off or Mitigation . The Company’s obligations to make payments under this Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other claim the Company or any of its affiliates may have against the Executive. The Executive does not need to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate any amounts owed to the Executive under this Agreement, and those amounts shall not be reduced if the Executive does obtain other employment.

(a)     Treatment of Payments . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an independent, nationally recognized, accounting firm which shall be designated by the Company with the Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “ Accounting Firm ”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “ Total Payments ”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

“ Code ”), or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “ Excise Tax ”) then the Accounting Firm shall determine if the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive that are subject to Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes, and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this Section 6(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments.

(b)     Ordering of Reduction . In the case of a reduction in the Total Payments pursuant to Section 6(a), the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata.

(c)     Certain Determinations . For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“ Tax Counsel ”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section

280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. The Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the requisite calculations and analysis under this Section 6 (and shall cooperate to the extent necessary for any of the determinations in this Section 6(c) to be made), and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its determinations hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify the Executive and the Company to that effect. In the absence of manifest error, all determinations by the Accounting Firm under this Section 6 shall be binding on the Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the later of the Executive’s date of termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any legal counsel retained by the Accounting Firm.

(d)     Additional Payments . If the Executive receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this Section 6 and it is established pursuant to a determination of a court of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to review or as to which the time to appeal has expired, or pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service proceeding, that the Executive could have received a greater amount without resulting in any Excise Tax, then the Company shall thereafter pay the Executive the aggregate additional amount which could have been paid without resulting in any Excise Tax as soon as reasonably practicable following such determination.

(a)     No Breach of Obligation to Others . The Executive represents and warrants that his entering into this Agreement does not, and that his performance under this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the Executive is a party or any

decree, judgment or order to which the Executive is subject, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Executive enforceable against the Executive in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto will from time to time after the date hereof execute, acknowledge where appropriate and deliver such further instruments and take such other actions as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

(h)     Severability . If any term or provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in a final court or arbitration proceeding, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(i)     Arbitration . Except as otherwise set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be mutually resolved by the parties hereto shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Los Angeles, California, before a panel of three neutral arbitrators, each of whom shall be selected jointly by the parties, or, if the parties cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrators, as selected by the American Arbitration Association. The commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA Rules ”) shall govern any arbitration between the parties, except that the following provisions are included in the parties’ agreement to arbitrate and override any contrary provisions in the AAA Rules:

(i)    The agreement to arbitrate and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict or choice of law rules;

(ii)    The California Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration, the agreement to arbitrate, and any proceedings to enforce, confirm, modify or vacate the award;

(iv)    Any petition or motion to modify or vacate the award shall be filed in a Superior Court in California (the “ Court ”);

(iv) The award shall be written, reasoned, and shall include findings of fact as to all factual issues and conclusions of law as to all legal issues;

The parties hereby agree that the arbitrators shall be empowered to enter an equitable decree mandating specific enforcement of the terms of this Agreement. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in any arbitration hereunder and the parties shall share equally all expenses of the arbitrators; provided , that , the arbitrator shall have the same authority to award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party in any arbitration as part of the arbitrator’s award as would be the case had the dispute or controversy been argued before a court with competent jurisdiction.

(j)     Section 409A . The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. In the event that any provision of Agreement or any other agreement or award referenced herein is mutually agreed by the parties to be in violation of Section 409A of the Code, the parties shall cooperate reasonably to attempt to amend or modify this Agreement (or other agreement or award) in order to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code while attempting to preserve the economic intent of the applicable provision. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other arrangement between the Executive and the Company during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to the Executive) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. CLNY makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. For purposes of this Section 9(j), Section 409A of the Code shall include all regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

(k)     Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

(l)     Construction . The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arm’s- length negotiations between sophisticated parties, each afforded representation by legal counsel. Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of the same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

(m)     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

(n)     Tax Withholding . The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or ruling. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any payment provided to the Executive hereunder, and the Executive shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Executive with respect to any such payment.

(o)     Cooperation . For a period of 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events during the Executive’s employment hereunder of which the Executive has knowledge. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, in accordance with the Company’s policies (and consistent with the Executive’s travel practices during the Executive’s employment with the Company) and subject to the delivery of reasonable support for such expenses. Any such requests for cooperation shall be subject to the Executive’s business and personal schedule and the Executive shall not be required to cooperate against his own legal interests or the legal interests of his employer or partners or business ventures. In the event the Executive reasonably determines that he needs separate legal counsel in connection with his cooperation, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable costs of such counsel as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 days) following its receipt of an invoice for such costs. In the event the Executive is required to cooperate for more than 8 hours in any 12-month period, the Executive shall be paid an hourly consulting fee in an amount mutually agreed between the Company and Executive at the time.

(a)      Waiver and Release . Pursuant to Section [4(c)(ii)] / [4(e)(i)] of the Employment Agreement, and in consideration of the Post-Termination Benefits to be provided to Executive as outlined in the Employment Agreement and this Release as set forth herein, Executive, on behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, forever waives, releases and discharges Employer, its officers, directors, owners, shareholders and agents (collectively referred to herein as, the “ Employer Group ”), and each of its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, servants, accountants, attorneys, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (together with the Employer Group, the “ Employer Released Parties ”), from any and all claims, demands, causes of actions, fees, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, that Executive has ever had or might have against the Employer Released Parties that directly or indirectly arise out of, relate to, or are connected with, Executive’s services to, or employment by the Company, including, but not limited to (i) any claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended (with respect to unvested benefits), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, Section 1981 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended, and the California Labor Code, as amended, and/or any other federal, state or local law (statutory, regulatory or otherwise) that may be legally waived and released and (ii) any tort and/or contract claims, including any claims of wrongful discharge, defamation, emotional distress, tortious interference with contract, invasion of privacy, nonphysical injury, personal injury or

sickness or any other harm. Executive acknowledges that if the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other administrative agency brings any charge or complaint on his behalf or for his benefit, this Release bars Executive from receiving, and Executive hereby waives any right to, any monetary or other individual relief related to such a charge or complaint.

Executive further understands that he shall relinquish any right he has to Post- Termination Benefits described in the Employment Agreement if he exercises his right to revoke this Release. Notice of revocation must be made in writing and must be received by [Name, Title], no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the seventh (7th) calendar day immediately after the day on which Executive executes this Release.

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of January 14, 2019, is made by and between Colony Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CLNY”), and Neale W. Redington (the “ Executive ”).

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(a)     Position and Reporting . During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as the Managing Director, Chief Accounting Officer of CLNY. The Executive shall report directly to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company during the Employment Term or, if otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of CLNY (the “ Board ”), the Chief Executive Officer or President of CLNY.

(b)     Duties and Responsibilities .

(i)    During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time (excepting vacation time, holidays, sick days and periods of disability) and attention to the performance of his duties hereunder, shall faithfully serve the Company and

shall have no other employment which is undisclosed to the Company or which conflicts with his duties under this Agreement; provided , that , nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Executive from (A) participating in trade associations or industry organizations, (B) engaging in charitable, civic, educational or political activities, (C) delivering lectures or fulfilling speaking engagements, (D) engaging in personal investment activities and personal real estate-related activities for himself and his family or (E) accepting directorships or similar positions (together, the “ Personal Activities ”), in each case so long as the Personal Activities do not unreasonably interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company under this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and approves the current activities of the Executive as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, each of which shall be deemed a Personal Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Personal Activities include the Executive providing services to any for-profit company (excluding Colony Capital, LLC and CLNY, and any subsidiaries or portfolio companies thereof) as a member of such company’s board of directors, only two such directorships shall be permitted as a Personal Activity.

(ii)    In serving in his capacity as the Managing Director, Chief Accounting Officer of CLNY during the Employment Term, the Executive shall (A) perform such duties and provide such services as are reasonably consistent with those provided by the Executive to CLNY in his role as its Managing Director, Chief Accounting Officer prior to the Effective Date and (B) provide such other duties as are consistent with his role as Managing Director, Chief Accounting Officer of CLNY, as reasonably requested from time to time by the Board or the Chief Financial Officer.

(a)     Base Salary . During the Employment Term, the Company will pay to the Executive a base salary at the annualized rate of not less than $325,000 (the base salary in effect from time to time, the “ Base Salary ”). The Base Salary will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s customary compensation practices from time to time in effect for the Company’s senior executive officers. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Base Salary from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Base Salary without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

(b)     Annual Cash Bonus

(i)    For each calendar year during the Employment Term beginning with the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs, the Executive shall be given an opportunity to earn an annual incentive cash bonus based on an evaluation by the Board (or

a committee of directors delegated by the Board) of the Executive’s performance in respect of the applicable calendar year; provided , that , the Board or such committee may determine prior to the beginning of any such calendar year to instead condition the payment of all or a portion of the cash bonus with respect to the applicable calendar year upon the achievement of performance measures determined by the Board or such committee in consultation with the Executive (as applicable, the “ Annual Bonus ”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus for each calendar year during the Employment Term (including the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs) shall be no less than $585,000 (such amount, as increased from time to time, the “Target Bonus Amount”). If the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board), establishes reasonable performance measures as provided for above, the actual Annual Bonus amount paid to the Executive in respect of any calendar year during the Employment Term shall be based on the achievement of the applicable performance measures and may be less or more than the applicable Target Bonus Amount. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target Bonus Amount from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target Bonus Amount without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement. The Executive’s Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs shall not be pro-rated.

(ii)    Any Annual Bonus payment that becomes payable to the Executive hereunder will be paid to him in a cash lump sum by no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which it relates (and no later than the date on which bonuses are paid to other senior executive officers of CLNY); provided , that , except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Executive is an active employee as of, and has not given or received notice of termination of employment as of, the date such payment would otherwise be made.

The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target LTIP Award (and any applicable performance measures) from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target LTIP Award without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

(iii)    The terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives shall be no less favorable than the terms and conditions of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives, as applicable, granted to the executive officers of the Company during the same calendar year.

(d)     Retirement, Welfare and Fringe Benefits . During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the retirement savings, medical, disability, life insurance, perquisite and other welfare and fringe benefit plans applicable to senior executive officers of CLNY (which will include emergency airlift (if needed) from locations outside the United States to the United States) generally in accordance with the terms of such plans as are in effect from time to time. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the ability of the Company to amend, modify or terminate any such benefit plans, policies or programs in accordance with their terms or to cease providing such benefit plans, policies or programs at any time and from time to time; provided , that , subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(d), the terms and conditions imposed on Executive’s participation in such plans, policies or programs and any adverse amendments, terminations and modifications are at least as favorable to Executive as those applicable to other senior executives. In addition, the Executive shall continue to receive the other fringe benefits and perquisites provided to the Executive by CLNY and its affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Date.

(e)     Paid Time Off . During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the paid time off policies generally applicable to CLNY’s senior executives as are in effect from time to time.

(f)     Business Expenses . The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs in connection with his employment during the Employment Term or his employment by CLNY during the 90-day period prior to the Effective Date upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers and such other information as the Company may require in accordance with the generally applicable policies and procedures of the Company applicable to CLNY’s senior executive officers as are in effect from time to time.

The applicable period of health benefit continuation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“ COBRA ”) shall begin on the expiration of such 24-month period; and

In addition, the Executive shall be able to retain his mobile phone(s) and personal computer(s) and his cell phone number(s).

(g)     Resignation as Officer or Director . Unless requested otherwise by the Company, upon any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder the Executive shall resign each position (if any) that the Executive then holds as an officer or director of the Company.

(h)     No Set-Off or Mitigation . The Company’s obligations to make payments under this Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other claim the Company or any of its affiliates may have against the Executive. The Executive does not need to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate any amounts owed to the Executive under this Agreement, and those amounts shall not be reduced if the Executive does obtain other employment.

(a)     Treatment of Payments . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an independent, nationally recognized, accounting firm which shall be designated by the Company with the Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “ Accounting Firm ”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “ Total Payments ”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “ Excise Tax ”) then the Accounting Firm shall determine if the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive that are subject to Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of

federal, state and local income taxes, and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this Section 6(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments.

(b)     Ordering of Reduction . In the case of a reduction in the Total Payments pursuant to Section 6(a), the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata.

(c)     Certain Determinations . For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“ Tax Counsel ”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. The Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the requisite

calculations and analysis under this Section 6 (and shall cooperate to the extent necessary for any of the determinations in this Section 6(c) to be made), and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its determinations hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify the Executive and the Company to that effect. In the absence of manifest error, all determinations by the Accounting Firm under this Section 6 shall be binding on the Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the later of the Executive’s date of termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any legal counsel retained by the Accounting Firm.

(d)     Additional Payments . If the Executive receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this Section 6 and it is established pursuant to a determination of a court of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to review or as to which the time to appeal has expired, or pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service proceeding, that the Executive could have received a greater amount without resulting in any Excise Tax, then the Company shall thereafter pay the Executive the aggregate additional amount which could have been paid without resulting in any Excise Tax as soon as reasonably practicable following such determination.

(a)     No Breach of Obligation to Others . The Executive represents and warrants that his entering into this Agreement does not, and that his performance under this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the Executive is a party or any decree, judgment or order to which the Executive is subject, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Executive enforceable against the Executive in accordance with its terms.

(f)     Amendment; Waiver; Termination .

(h)     Severability .

The commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA Rules ”) shall govern any arbitration between the parties, except that the following provisions are included in the parties’ agreement to arbitrate and override any contrary provisions in the AAA Rules:

(i)    The agreement to arbitrate and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict or choice of law rules;

(j)     Section 409A . The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. In the event that any provision of Agreement or any other agreement or award referenced herein is mutually agreed by the parties to be in violation of Section 409A of the Code, the parties shall cooperate reasonably to attempt to amend or modify this Agreement (or other agreement or award) in order to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code while attempting to preserve the economic intent of the applicable provision. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other arrangement between the Executive and the Company during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to the Executive) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. CLNY makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. For purposes of this Section 9(j), Section 409A of the Code shall include all regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

(k)     Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

(l)     Construction . The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arm’s- length negotiations between sophisticated parties, each afforded representation by legal counsel. Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of the same, and any rule of construction that a

document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

(m)     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

(n)     Tax Withholding . The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or ruling. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any payment provided to the Executive hereunder, and the Executive shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Executive with respect to any such payment.

(o)     Cooperation . For a period of 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events during the Executive’s employment hereunder of which the Executive has knowledge. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, in accordance with the Company’s policies (and consistent with the Executive’s travel practices during the Executive’s employment with the Company) and subject to the delivery of reasonable support for such expenses. Any such requests for cooperation shall be subject to the Executive’s business and personal schedule and the Executive shall not be required to cooperate against his own legal interests or the legal interests of his employer or partners or business ventures. In the event the Executive reasonably determines that he needs separate legal counsel in connection with his cooperation, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable costs of such counsel as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 days) following its receipt of an invoice for such costs. In the event the Executive is required to cooperate for more than 8 hours in any 12-month period, the Executive shall be paid an hourly consulting fee in an amount mutually agreed between the Company and Executive at the time.

2. WAGES FULLY PAID . Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has received payment in full for all salary and other wages, including without limitation any accrued, unused vacation or other similar benefits earned through the Separation Date.

(a)      Waiver and Release . Pursuant to Section [4(c)(ii)] / [4(e)(i)] of the Employment Agreement, and in consideration of the Post-Termination Benefits to be provided to Executive as outlined in the Employment Agreement and this Release as set forth herein, Executive, on behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, forever waives, releases and discharges Employer, its officers, directors, owners, shareholders and agents (collectively referred to herein as, the “ Employer Group ”), and each of its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, servants, accountants, attorneys, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (together with the Employer Group, the “ Employer Released Parties ”), from any and all claims, demands, causes of actions, fees, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, that Executive has ever had or might have against the Employer Released Parties that directly or indirectly arise out of, relate to, or are connected with, Executive’s services to, or employment by the Company, including, but not limited to (i) any claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended (with respect to unvested benefits), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, Section 1981 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended, and the California Labor Code, as amended, and/or any other federal, state or local law (statutory, regulatory or otherwise) that may be legally waived and released and (ii) any tort and/or contract claims, including any claims of wrongful discharge, defamation, emotional distress, tortious interference with contract, invasion of privacy, nonphysical injury, personal injury or

Executive further understands that he shall relinquish any right he has to Post- Termination Benefits described in the Employment Agreement if he exercises his right to revoke this Release. Notice of revocation must be made in writing and must be received by [Name, Title], no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the seventh (7th) calendar day immediately after the day on which Executive executes this Release.

3.     Non-Competition . Executive shall not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, in any manner within the Restricted Territory: (i) engage in the Business (other than through the Company and its Affiliates); (ii) render any services as an employee, officer, director or consultant to any Person (other than the Company) engaged in the Business; or (iii) make an investment in a Person engaged in the Business as a partner, shareholder, principal, member or other owner of equity interests (or securities convertible into or exercisable for, equity interests); provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict Executive from (x) engaging in any activity that he determines in good faith is in furtherance of the interests of the Company in the performance of his duties for the Company and/or (y) engaging in any Permitted Activity. In addition, nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from providing services to an entity engaged in the Business if Executive’s services are solely limited to a unit, division, or subsidiary of such entity which does

not engage in the Business and Executive does not provide services directly or indirectly to, or with respect to, the Business.

4.     Non-Solicitation . Except as necessary, appropriate or desirable to perform his duties to the Company during his employment, Executive shall not during the Restricted Period, without CLNY’s prior written consent, (i) directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or for any other Person, knowingly solicit or induce any officer, director, employee or independent contractor who is a natural person that provides consulting or advisory services with respect to sourcing or consummating financings or investments of the Company (A) to terminate his or her relationship with the Company, or (B) hire any such individual whom Executive knows left the employment of the Company during the previous 12 months or (ii) directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or for any other Person, solicit or induce any investors to terminate (or diminish in any material respect) his, her or its relationship with the Company.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Executive from complying with applicable Law, or disclosing information pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not in Executive’s reasonable judgment exceed the extent of disclosure required by such Law. Executive shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Company after receiving such order and reasonably cooperate (at the Company’s expense) with any efforts of the Company to seek a protective order or other measure to protect the confidentiality of such information.

(b)    At all times on and following the Effective Date, the senior executive officers of the Company shall not make, or cause to be made by the Company, any disparaging or negative statements about Executive to any third Persons, including, without limitation, to any press or other media, except (i) to the extent required by Law or legal process, by any Authority with apparent jurisdiction or applicable securities considerations, (ii) related to any good faith litigation or similar proceeding between Executive and the Company or otherwise in connection with any good faith litigation or similar proceeding by Executive to enforce his rights or defend his actions under this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the Employment Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or (iii) for the making of any critical remarks about Executive in connection with any analyses made or opinions expressed in the ordinary course of their respective duties to the Company during their employment therewith.

7.     Intellectual Property .

(a)    Executive agrees that all Company Materials shall be deemed “work made for hire” by the Company as the “author” and owner to the extent permitted by United States copyright Law.

Executive shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company for all costs and expenditures incurred in connection with any cooperation referenced in this Section 7(b).

8.     Injunctive Relief; Other Remedies . The parties agree that the remedy at Law for any breach of this Agreement is and will be inadequate, and in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Executive from the conduct which would constitute a

breach of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it or them for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, specific performance and/or the recovery of damages from Executive.

9.     Reasonableness and Enforceability of Covenants .

(a)    The recitals to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference. The parties acknowledge and agree with such recitals, and further agree that the value of the consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Contribution is substantial and that preservation of the confidential and proprietary information, goodwill, stable workforce, and client and customer relations of the Company is a material part of the consideration being provided in connection with the Contribution.
