Separation from Service, any Cash Compensation payable to Executive between the period beginning on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on Executive’s Delayed Payment Date shall be delayed until Executive’s Delayed Payment Date, at which time all the so delayed payments shall be made in a lump sum with Interest;

(b) The Post Group at Executive’s Separation from Service shall pay to Executive in a lump sum (i) a pro-rata portion of the target bonus (as set by the Compensation Committee) that he would be eligible to receive under § 5.2 for the days Executive had already worked during the calendar year in which he has a Separation from Service plus (ii) a bonus equal to the Executive’s average annual bonus (calculated pursuant to § 1.3(b)) multiplied by 1.5; provided, however, if Executive is a Specified Employee at his Separation from Service, this payment shall be delayed until Executive’s Delayed Payment Date, at which time the so delayed payment shall be made in a lump sum with Interest;

(c) The Post Group shall provide or make available health care coverage and shall provide reimbursement for life insurance and long-term disability premiums as follows:

(i) During the period starting on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the earlier of (A) the last day of the eighteen (18) month period following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “18 Month Period”) or (B) the date when Executive is no longer entitled to continued coverage under § 4980B of the Code (the “COBRA Period”), the Post Group shall provide continued coverage under the Group Health plan pursuant to § 4980B of the Code (“COBRA Coverage”) and reimburse Executive for a portion of the monthly premiums paid by Executive for such COBRA Coverage,

(ii) If the period described in § 4.1(c)(i) ends at the end of the COBRA Period, the Post Group for the remainder of the 18 Month Period shall provide Executive (1) continued coverage under the Group Health Plan or (2) if coverage for Executive is not available under the Group Health Plan, health insurance coverage from an insurance company selected by Executive and reimburse Executive for a portion of the monthly premiums paid by Executive for either form of coverage,

(iii) If so requested by Executive in writing before the end of the coverage period described in either § 4.1(c)(i) or § 4.1(c)(ii), whichever is applicable, the Post Group will make available to Executive continued coverage under the Group Health Plan for up to an additional eighteen (18) months following the end of such coverage period to the extent Executive had such coverage under the Group Health Plan at the end of such coverage period and timely pays the monthly premium then paid by former employees for comparable COBRA Coverage,

(iv) The reimbursable portion of the premiums paid by Executive each month under § 4.1(c)(i) and § 4.1(c)(ii) shall equal the dollar amount the Post Group would have paid on Executive’s behalf each month for the coverage which had been in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service under the Group Health Plan had Executive remained employed by the Post Group for the remainder of the 18 Month Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Post Group will not be responsible for any reimbursement during the period described in § 4.1(c)(iii),

(v) The Post Group shall reimburse Executive during the 18 Month Period for a portion of Executive’s monthly premiums to purchase life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage which is no less than the face amount of Executive’s life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service, and the reimbursable portion each month shall equal the dollar amount the Post Group would have paid in premiums on Executive’s behalf each month for the life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage under the policies which had been in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service had Executive remained employed by the Post Group for the remainder of the 18 Month Period,

(vi) The reimbursements called for under this § 4.1(c) shall be requested by Executive and processed and made by the Post Group in accordance with the policies and procedures in effect from time to time under the Post Group’s standard expense reimbursement policy for the Post Group’s senior executives as provided to Executive, but no cost or expense shall be reimbursable under this § 4.1(c) after the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such cost or expense even if reimbursement was permissible at a later date under such policy, and

(vii) The Post Group shall add to each reimbursement made pursuant to this § 4.1(c) an amount which the Post Group acting in good faith reasonably determines would be sufficient for Executive to pay his income and employment tax due on such reimbursement if Executive was subject to the maximum marginal tax rates; provided, however, if Executive is a Specified Employee at his Separation from Service, no such additional payments shall be made until the Delayed Payment Date, and the Post Group on the Delayed Payment Date shall make a lump sum payment in cash with Interest to Executive which the Post Group acting in good faith reasonably determines would be sufficient for Executive to pay his income and employment tax due on all of the reimbursements made

before such date pursuant to this § 4.1(c) if Executive was subject to the maximum marginal tax rates; and

(d) (i) Each outstanding stock option granted to Executive by Post shall become exercisable immediately before Executive’s termination of employment to the full extent the option would have become exercisable if Executive had remained employed by the Post Group through the 18 Month Period, and each option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the term of the option or (B) the date the option would have expired if Executive’s employment had terminated at the end of the term of this Agreement (as determined immediately prior to the date of Executive’s Separation from Service) without Cause or for Good Reason,

(ii) Executive, immediately before his Separation from Service, shall vest in any outstanding restricted stock granted by Post to the full extent Executive would have vested in the restricted stock had Executive remained employed by the Post Group through the 18 Month Period, and

(iii) Executive shall have the right to receive the bonus or bonuses, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive under the Shareholder Value Plan in effect on the date his employment terminates if Executive’s employment had been terminated by the Post Group at the end of the 18 Month Period, and the time for the payment of such bonus or bonuses, if any, shall be fixed on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service under the terms of the Shareholder Value Plan in effect on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service; provided, however, if Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, the payment of his bonus or bonuses shall be delayed until Executive’s Delayed Payment Date, at which time any payment which has been so delayed shall be made in a lump sum with Interest.

If (a) any member of the Post Group terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, (b) Executive resigns without Good Reason or (c) Executive’s employment terminates as a result of Executive’s death or Disability, then (i) the Post Group’s only obligation to Executive under this Agreement shall (subject to applicable withholdings) be to pay Executive’s base salary and bonus, if any, which were due and payable pursuant to § 5.1 or § 5.2 on the date Executive has a Separation from Service and to reimburse Executive for expenses Executive had already incurred and which would have otherwise been reimbursed pursuant to § 5.6 but for such Separation from Service and (ii) Executive shall have the right to receive any benefits payable under the Post Group’s employee benefit plans, programs and policies (including options to purchase Post stock) which Executive otherwise has a nonforfeitable right to receive under this Agreement at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service; provided, however, if the Post Group acting in good faith determines that any such payment would

Executive’s base salary, less any required deductions, shall be paid to Executive in accordance with the Post Group’s standard payroll practices and procedures for salaried employees.

First anniversary of grant date:		33% of options vest,
Second anniversary of grant date:		33% of options vest,

§ 6. Change In Control.

6.1 General Rule. If there is a Change in Control and either (i) any member of the Post Group during Executive’s Protection Period terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, (ii) Executive during Executive’s Protection Period resigns for Good Reason, or (iii) Executive resigns for any or no reason whatsoever at any time during the ninety (90) day period that starts on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, then

(a) The Post Group shall pay Executive three (3) times Executive’s then Cash Compensation in cash in a lump sum at his Separation from Service; provided, however, if Executive is a Specified Employee at Executive’s Separation from Service, such payment shall be delayed and paid with Interest on his Delayed Payment Date; and

(b) (i) Each outstanding stock option granted to Executive by Post shall (notwithstanding the terms under which such option was granted) become fully vested and exercisable on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and shall (notwithstanding the terms under which such option was granted) remain exercisable for the remaining term of each such option (as determined as if there had been no such Separation from Service), subject to the same terms and conditions as if Executive had remained employed by the Post Group for such term or such period (other than any term or condition which gives Post the

right to cancel any such option) and (ii) any restrictions on any outstanding restricted stock grants to Executive by Post immediately shall (notwithstanding the terms under which such grant was made) expire and Executive’s right to such stock shall be non-forfeitable; and

(c) The Post Group shall provide or make available health care coverage and shall provide reimbursement for life insurance and long-term disability premiums as follows:

(i) During the period starting on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the earlier of (A) the last day of the three (3) year period following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “3 Year Period”) or (B) the date when Executive is no longer entitled to continued coverage under § 4980B of the Code (the “COBRA Period”), the Post Group shall provide continued coverage under the Group Health plan pursuant to § 4980B of the Code (“COBRA Coverage”) and reimburse Executive for a portion of the monthly premiums paid by Executive for such COBRA Coverage,

(ii) If the period described in § 6.1(c)(i) ends at the end of the COBRA Period, the Post Group for the remainder (if any) of the 3 Year Period shall provide Executive (1) continued coverage under the Group Health Plan or (2) if coverage for Executive is not available under the Group Health Plan, health insurance coverage from an insurance company selected by Executive and reimburse Executive for a portion of the monthly premiums paid by Executive for either form of coverage,

(iii) If so requested by Executive in writing before the end of the coverage period described in either § 6.1(c)(i) or § 6.1(c)(ii), whichever is applicable, the Post Group will make available to Executive continued coverage under the Group Health Plan for up to an additional eighteen (18) months following the end of such coverage period to the extent Executive had such coverage under the Group Health Plan at the end of such coverage period and timely pays the monthly premium then paid by former employees for comparable COBRA Coverage,

(iv) The reimbursable portion of the premiums paid by Executive each month under § 6.1(c)(i) and § 6.1(c)(ii) shall equal the dollar amount the Post Group would have paid on Executive’s behalf each month for the coverage which had been in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service under the Group Health Plan had Executive remained employed by the Post Group for the remainder of the 3 Year Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Post Group will not be responsible for any reimbursement during the period described in § 6.1(c)(iii),

(v) The Post Group shall reimburse Executive during the 3 Year Period for a portion of Executive’s monthly premiums to purchase life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage which is no less than the face amount of Executive’s life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service, and the reimbursable portion each month shall equal the dollar amount the Post Group would have paid in premiums on Executive’s behalf each month for the life insurance coverage and long-term disability coverage under the policies which had been in effect immediately before Executive’s Separation from Service had Executive remained employed by the Post Group for the remainder of the 3 Year Period,

(vi) The reimbursements called for under this § 6.1(c) shall be requested by Executive and processed and made by the Post Group in accordance with the policies and procedures in effect from time to time under the Post Group’s standard expense reimbursement policy for the Post Group’s senior executives as provided to Executive, but no cost or expense shall be reimbursable under this § 6.1(c) after the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such cost or expense even if reimbursement was permissible at a later date under such policy, and

(vii) The Post Group shall add to each reimbursement made pursuant to this § 6.1(c) an amount which the Post Group acting in good faith reasonably determines would be sufficient for Executive to pay his income and employment tax due on such reimbursement if Executive was subject to the maximum marginal tax rates; provided, however, if Executive is a Specified Employee at his Separation from Service, no such additional payments shall be made until the Delayed Payment Date, and the Post Group on the Delayed Payment Date shall make a lump sum payment in cash with Interest to Executive which the Post Group acting in good faith reasonably determines would be sufficient for Executive to pay his income and employment tax due on all of the reimbursements made before such date pursuant to this § 6.1(c) if Executive was subject to the maximum marginal tax rates.

(d) If Executive is entitled to and accepts any benefits under § 6 of this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to and shall not receive any benefits under § 4 of this Agreement.

6.2 No Increase In Other Benefits.

If Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in § 6.1(a) or § 6.3, Executive expressly waives Executive’s right, if any, to have any payment made under § 6.1 taken into account to increase the benefits otherwise

payable to, or on behalf of, Executive under any employee benefit plan, whether qualified or unqualified, maintained by the Post Group.

6.3 Termination In Anticipation Of A Change In Control.

Executive shall be treated under § 6.1 as if Executive’s employment had been terminated without Cause or Executive had resigned for Good Reason during Executive’s Protection Period if:

(a) Executive’s employment is terminated by a member of the Post Group without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason,

(b) such termination is effected or such resignation is effective at any time in the sixty (60) day period which ends on the Effective Date of a Change In Control, and

6.4 Termination as a result of Death or Disability.

Executive agrees that no member of the Post Group will have any obligation to Executive under this § 6 if Executive’s employment terminates exclusively as a result of Executive’s death or a Disability.

§ 7. No Solicitation Of Customers.

Executive will not, during the Restricted Period, for purposes of competing with Post or any Affiliate, solicit on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, or corporation which engages, directly or indirectly, in the development, operation, management, leasing or landscaping of a Multifamily Property, any customer of Post or any Affiliate with whom Executive had a personal business interaction at any time during the two (2) years immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment by any member of the Post Group. This § 7 shall not prohibit a general solicitation not targeted at Post’s or an Affiliate’s customers and in which Executive has no participation or involvement.

§ 8. Antipirating Of Employees.

Executive will not during the Restricted Period employ or seek to employ on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm or corporation that engages, directly or indirectly, in the development, operation, management, leasing, or landscaping of a Multifamily Property, any person who was employed by a member of the Post Group in an executive, managerial, or supervisory capacity during the term of Executive’s employment by a member of the Post Group and with whom Executive had business dealings during the two (2) year period which ends on the date Executive’s employment by any member of the Post Group terminates (whether or not such

employee would commit a breach of contract), and who has not ceased to be employed by a member of the Post Group for a period of at least one (1) year. This § 8 shall not prohibit a general solicitation not targeted at employees of Post or an Affiliate and in which Executive has no participation or involvement.

§ 9. Trade Secrets And Confidential Or Proprietary Information.

Executive hereby agrees to hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Post and each Affiliate, and will not directly or indirectly use or disclose, any Trade Secret that Executive may have acquired during the term of Executive’s employment by any member of the Post Group for so long as such information remains a Trade Secret even if such information remains a Trade Secret after the expiration of the Restricted Period.

In addition, Executive agrees during the Restricted Period to hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Post and each Affiliate, and not to directly or indirectly use or disclose, any Confidential or Proprietary Information that Executive may have acquired (whether or not developed or compiled by Executive and whether or not Executive was authorized to have access to such information) during the term of, in the course of, or as a result of Executive’s employment by any member of the Post Group.

§ 10. Covenant Not To Compete.

During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not serve as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise render any advice or services similar to those listed in § 2, directly or indirectly, to any person, firm, or corporation listed on Appendix A of this Agreement with respect to its operations in markets where the Post Group is currently engaged in business. Executive agrees that the entities listed on Appendix A are the Post Group’s principal competitors in the markets where the Post Group is currently engaged in business. Executive further agrees that Executive and the Post Group will, in return for additional consideration, agree to update Appendix A in connection with the annual renewal of this Agreement in order to fairly include only the Post Group’s principal competitors.

§ 11. Reasonable and Necessary Restrictions.

The Post Group has identified Executive as an individual with significant skills and experience critical to the business of the Post Group. In view of the significant and growing demand for executive talent, the potential impact on the Post Group’s executives of the transformational changes occurring within the industry and the Post Group, and the need to ensure continuity of the senior management team for the Post Group, the Post Group desires to provide Executive through this Agreement with certain incentives to remain in the Post Group’s employment. This Agreement is also designed to provide additional motivation for meeting the Post Group’s goals and objectives, to address potential long term employment concerns of Executive, and to impose certain reasonable restrictions on Executive’s activities designed to protect the Post Group’s interests should Executive’s employment terminate.

Executive acknowledges that Post and its Affiliates shall disclose or make available Confidential Information and Trade Secrets to Executive that could be used by Executive to the detriment of Post and its Affiliates. In addition, in connection with his employment, Executive shall develop important relationships and contacts with employees valuable to Post and its Affiliates.

Executive further acknowledges that § 7, § 8, § 9, and § 10 of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement will not cause Executive undue hardship, and the provisions of this Agreement are reasonably necessary and commensurate with the need to protect the Post Group and their business interests and property from irreparable harm.

Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions, and other provisions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the Restricted Period and those set forth in § 7, § 8, § 9, and § 10, are reasonable, fair and equitable in scope, terms, and duration; are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Post Group; and are a material inducement to the Post Group to enter into this Agreement. Executive covenants that Executive will not challenge the enforceability of this Agreement nor will Executive raise any equitable defense to its enforcement.

§ 12. Specific Performance.

Executive acknowledges that the obligations undertaken by him pursuant to this Agreement are unique and that the Post Group likely will have no adequate remedy at law if Executive shall fail to perform any of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, and Executive therefore confirms that the Post Group’s right to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests of the Post Group. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that the Post Group may have at law or in equity, the Post Group will have the right to have all obligations, covenants, agreements, and other provisions of this Agreement specifically performed by Executive, and the Post Group will have the right to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement by Executive, and Executive submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Georgia for this purpose.

§ 13. Tax Protection.

13.1 General Rule. If Post or Post’s independent accountants (which shall consider such issue upon the reasonable request of the Executive) determine that any payments and benefits called for under this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits made available to Executive by the Post Group, will result in Executive’s being subject to an excise tax under § 4999 of the Code or if such an excise tax is assessed against Executive as a result of any such payments and other benefits, the Post Group shall make a Gross Up Payment to or on behalf of Executive as and when any such determination or assessment is made, provided Executive takes such

action (other than waiving Executive’s right to any payments or benefits in excess of the payments or benefits which Executive has expressly agreed to waive under this § 13) as the Post Group reasonably requests under the circumstances to mitigate or challenge such tax; provided, however, if the Post Group or the Post Group’s independent accountants make such a determination and, further, determine that Executive will not be subject to any such excise tax if Executive waives Executive’s right to receive a part of such payments or benefits and such part does not exceed $25,000, Executive shall irrevocably waive Executive’s right to receive such part if an independent accountant or lawyer retained by Executive and paid by the Post Group agrees with the determination made by the Post Group or the Post Group’s independent accountants with respect to the effect of such reduction in payments or benefits. Any determinations under this § 13 shall be made in accordance with § 280G of the Code and any applicable related regulations (whether proposed, temporary, or final) and any related Internal Revenue Service rulings and any related case law and, if the Post Group reasonably requests that Executive take action to mitigate or challenge, or to mitigate and challenge, any such tax or assessment (other than waiving Executive’s right to any payments or benefits in excess of the payments or benefits which Executive has expressly agreed to waive under this § 13) and Executive complies with such request, the Post Group shall provide Executive with such information and such expert advice and assistance from Post’s independent accountants, lawyers, and other advisors as Executive may reasonably request and shall pay for all expenses incurred in effecting such compliance and any related fines, penalties, interest, and other assessments.

13.2 409A Rule. Any Gross Up Payment called for under § 13.1 to reimburse Executive for paying the related tax shall be paid to Executive as and when any such determination or assessment is made under § 13.1. The Post Group and Executive acknowledge and agree that solely to satisfy an express requirement in the regulations under § 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which Executive pays the related tax, and that this provision of § 13.2 shall not give the Post Group the right to delay making a Gross Up Payment to or on behalf of Executive under § 13.1.

§ 14. Executive’s Legal Fees and Expenses.

If any action at law or in equity is necessary for Executive to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the Post Group shall promptly pay Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses incurred with respect to such action. If any other action is taken with respect to this Agreement, the Post Group shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses and Executive shall bear Executive’s own attorneys’ fees and expenses. If a reimbursement is called for under this § 14, such reimbursement shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which Executive pays the related legal fees or expenses. The Post Group and Executive acknowledge and agree that the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is only intended to satisfy an express requirement in the regulations under § 409A of the Code and that such sentence shall not give the Post

Group the right to delay making a reimbursement in accordance with the first sentence in this § 14.

§ 15. Miscellaneous.

15.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Executive and his executor, administrator, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns, and the Post Group, and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that Executive shall not be entitled to assign or delegate any of his rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Post Group.

15.2 Construction of Agreement.
