Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term.

The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and effort to the performance of his duties hereunder.
3. Compensation.

The Company shall pay the Executive during the Term a salary at a minimum rate of $300,000 per annum (the “Annual Salary”), in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company applicable to senior executives. The Board periodically shall review the Executive’s Annual Salary and may provide for such increases therein as it may in its discretion deem appropriate; provided that the Executive’s Annual Salary shall be increased by no less than 10% per annum on each of the first and second anniversaries of this Agreement. (Any such increased salary shall constitute the “Annual Salary” as of the time of the increase.)
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 have the opportunity to receive an annual bonus in an amount and on such terms to be determined by the Company. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall limit the Executive’s eligibility to receive any other bonus under any other bonus plan, stock option or equity–based plan, or other policy or program of the Company.

Upon termination of employment due to death or disability, (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 and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination);(ii) the Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to his Annual Salary for the remainder of the year in which termination occurs; (iii) without duplication of any amounts due under clauses (i) and (ii), the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall receive an amount equal to the annual bonus that, in the absence of such termination, would have been payable for the fiscal year in which termination occurs, payable at such time as would have applied in the absence of such termination, with such amount to be multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year preceding the termination and (y) the denominator of which is 365; (iv) all outstanding unvested equity-based awards pursuant to the Plan held by the Executive shall fully vest and become immediately exercisable, as applicable, and subject to the terms of such awards; and (v) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder, or any other rights hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall receive such disability and death benefits as may be provided under the Company’s plans and arrangements in accordance with their terms).
5. Certain Terminations of Employment; Certain Benefits.
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:

| (ii) | engagement in fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; |
| (iii) | continued gross insubordination after written notice thereof by the Board; |
| (iv) | continued failure to materially adhere to the directions of the Board, to adhere to the Company’s written policies and practices or to devote a substantial majority of his business time and efforts to the Company and its subsidiaries; or |
| (v) | material breach of any of the provisions of Section 6. |
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 not more than 30 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (ii) through (v) above (or, if later, the Company’s knowledge thereof). No termination for Cause under clause (i) through (v) shall be effective unless the Board makes a determination that Cause exists after notice to the Executive, and the Executive has been provided with an opportunity (with counsel of his choice) to contest the determination at a meeting of the Board.
(b) The Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, and the Executive may terminate his employment on at least 30 days’ written notice given to the Company. If the Company terminates the Executive for Cause, or the Executive terminates his employment and the termination by the Executive is not for Good Reason in accordance with Section 5.2, (i) the Executive shall receive Annual Salary and other benefits (including any bonus for a fiscal year completed before termination and awarded but not yet paid, or in the event of a partial fiscal year, a pro rata bonus earned through the date of such termination, which is to be calculated based on the bonus earned in the prior fiscal year) 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); and (ii) the Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits under this Agreement on or after the termination of employment.
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 by the Executive,
| (i) | the material reduction of the Executive’s title, authority, duties and responsibilities or the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s position or positions with the Company; |
| (ii) | a reduction in Annual Salary of the Executive; or |
| (iii) | the Company’s material and willful breach of this Agreement. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless notice of termination on account thereof (specifying a termination date no later than 30 days from the date of such notice) is given no later than 30 days after the time at which the event or condition purportedly giving rise to Good Reason first occurs or arises and (ii) if there exists (without regard to this clause (ii)) an event or condition that constitutes Good Reason, the Company shall have 15 days from the date notice of such a termination is given to cure such event or condition and, if the Company does so, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder.
(b) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment and the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for any reason or no reason. 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 or in the event of non-renewal of this Agreement by the Company, as described in Section 1:
| (i) | the Executive shall receive a single-sum payment equal to accrued but unpaid Annual Salary and other benefits (including any bonus for a calendar year completed before termination) 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 Executive shall receive a single-sum payment of an amount equal to the sum of (X) his Annual Salary (at the rate in effect immediately prior to termination) plus (Y) the highest bonus earned in the preceeding three year period prior to termination, with such sum multiplied by 1.5; and |
| (iii) | all outstanding unvested equity-based awards (including without limitation Options, Restricted Shares and phantom units) held by the Executive shall fully vest and shall become immediately exercisable, as applicable. |
If payments due to Executive are subject to the requirements of Prop. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(g)(2) (or any successor provision), then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Executive’s separation from service will be deferred (with interest at 5% per annum) and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period.
5.3 Change of Control. Without duplication of the foregoing, upon a “Change of Control” (as defined below) while the Executive is employed, all outstanding unvested equity-based awards shall fully vest and shall become immediately exercisable, as applicable. In addition, if, after a Change of Control, the Executive terminates his employment with the Company within the six-month anniversary of the Change of Control, such termination shall be deemed a termination by the Executive for Good Reason covered by Section 5.2. 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 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), but excluding the Company, any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any such entity, and Executive and any “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of which the Executive is a 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 common shares of the Company (in either such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); provided, however, that, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred upon an initial public offering or a subsequent public offering of the common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; |
| (ii) | any consolidation or merger of the Company where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the combined voting power of the securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any); |
| (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 by a vote of at least a majority of the members of the Board then still in office who were members of the Board at the beginning of such 24-calendar-month period, shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director. |
5.4 Parachutes. If any amount payable to or other benefit receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement is deemed to constitute a Parachute Payment (as defined below), alone or when added to any other amount payable or paid to or other benefit receivable or received by the Executive which is deemed to constitute a Parachute Payment (whether or not under an existing plan, arrangement or other agreement), and would result in the imposition on the Executive of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then, in addition to any other benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement, the Executive shall be paid by the Company an amount in cash equal to the sum of the excise taxes payable by the Executive by reason of receiving Parachute Payments plus the amount necessary to put the Executive in the same after-tax position (taking into account any and all applicable federal, state and local excise, income or other taxes at the highest applicable rates on such Parachute Payments and on any payments under this Section 5.4 as if no excise taxes had been imposed with respect to Parachute Payments). “Parachute Payment” shall mean a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code. The calculation under this Section 5.4 shall be as determined by the Company’s accountants.
6. Covenants of the Executive.
6.1 Covenant Against Competition; Other Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the principal business of the Company (which expressly includes for purposes of this Section 6 (and any related enforcement provisions hereof), its successors and assigns) is the structuring, organization, consulting with, managing, servicing or otherwise engaging in the business of pooling trust preferred securities or providing financing through the issuance of similar debt securities or equity securities issued by REITs or real estate operating companies or their affiliates, wherever located, whether in a “CDO” structure or otherwise (such business herein being referred to as 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, in part, national in scope; (iv) the Executive’s work for the Company has given and will continue to 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, and subject to Executive receiving all monies due to him under 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 ending eighteen (18) months following the date upon which the Executive shall cease to be an employee of the Company and its affiliates, he shall not in the United States, directly or indirectly, except with the prior approval of the Board, (i) engage in the Business (other than for the Company or its affiliates), or (ii) render any services in furtherance of the Business to any person, corporation, partnership or other entity engaged in the Business, or who has taken substantial measures, or made investments, evidencing an intention to engage in the Business other than incidentally as is necessary to engage in its principal business, or for any Originator (defined below); or (iii) become interested in any Originator or any person, corporation, partnership or other entity (other than the Company or its affiliates) principally engaged in the Business, as a partner, shareholder, principal, agent, employee, consultant or in any other relationship or capacity; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may invest in 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 the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System, and (B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity (except to the extent expressly permitted herein). In addition, the restrictions of this Section 6(a) shall not apply to any existing investments or other activities of the Executive which have been disclosed in writing to and approved by the Board prior to the date hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Originator” shall mean a person, corporation, partnership or entity who (x) at any point prior to the date of Executive’s termination hereunder was paid fees or earned any fees or entered into any agreement with the Company or its affiliates in respect of the origination of any financing transaction by or placement of securities or issued by REITs, real estate operating companies or their affiliates, wherever located, into or through a CDO transaction or warehouse line in which the Company or any of its affiliates acted as collateral manager, or (y) which the Company engaged or plans to engage for the purpose of the placement of securities into a CDO transaction or warehouse line.
(b) During and after the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, the Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence all confidential matters relating to the Company’s Business and the business of any of its affiliates and to the Company and any of its affiliates, learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter directly or indirectly from the Company or any of its affiliates (the “Confidential Company Information”); and shall not disclose such Confidential Company Information to anyone outside of the Company except with the Company’s express written consent and except for 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.
(c) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending eighteen (18) months following the date upon which the Executive shall cease to be an employee of the Company and its affiliates, the Executive shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, knowingly (i) solicit or encourage to leave the employment or other service of the Company, or any of its affiliates, any employee or independent contractor thereof or (ii) hire (on behalf of the Executive or any other person or entity) any employee who has left the employment of the Company or any of its affiliates within the eighteen (18) month period which follows the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, and (iii) 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 affiliates’ relationship with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or any of its affiliates, any person who during the Term is or was a customer or client of the Company or any of its affiliates.
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 affiliates, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its affiliates under law or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of damages), shall have the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced 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.
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.

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.
