EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Company agrees to employ the Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Employee agrees to be so employed, for a term commencing on April 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on April 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, and on each anniversary thereof, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one (1)-year periods; provided, however, that the Company, on the one hand, or the Employee, on the other hand, may elect not to extend this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to any such anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee’s employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof. The period of time between the Effective Date and the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” 2. POSITION AND DUTIES. (a) GENERAL. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and, as necessary, as the Acting Chief Financial Officer of Spirit MTA REIT. In this capacity, the Employee shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized companies, and such other duties, authorities and responsibilities as may reasonably be assigned to the Employee from time to time by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) that are not inconsistent with the Employee’s positions with the Company. The Employee shall report directly and exclusively to the CEO. (b) OTHER ACTIVITIES. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall devote all of the Employee’s business time, energy, business judgment, knowledge and skill and the Employee’s best efforts to the performance of the Employee’s duties with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Employee from (i) with prior written notice to the

A-2 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Board, serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations and, with the prior written approval of the Board, other for-profit companies, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the Employee’s personal investments and affairs so long as such activities, either individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere or conflict with the Employee’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. 3. BASE SALARY. During the Employment Term, the Company agrees to pay the Employee a base salary at an annual rate of not less than $450,000 payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, but not less frequently than monthly. The Employee’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review and may be increased from time to time by the Board (or a committee thereof). The base salary as determined herein and increased from time to time shall constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. The Base Salary shall not be decreased at any time, or for any purpose, during the Employment Term (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining benefits due under Section 7) without the Employee’s prior written consent. 4. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. (a) ANNUAL BONUS. For each calendar year during the Employment Term (including for all of 2018 without pro-ration), the Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual cash discretionary incentive payment under the Company’s annual bonus plan as may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Bonus”), based on a target bonus opportunity equal to 125% of the Employee’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) and a maximum bonus opportunity of 200% of the Employee’s Base Salary, upon the attainment of one or more pre-established performance goals established by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion. It is expected that such performance criteria will be based on both financial and non-financial goals, will be set in consultation with the Employee, and may be set at any point during the calendar year (it being intended that such criteria will be established during the Company’s annual budgeting process). The Board (or a committee thereof) shall reserve the right to adjust the applicable performance criteria during the calendar year (it being understood that any such adjustment shall only be implemented, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board (or a committee thereof), it is determined to be necessary to adapt to changing circumstances, and not with the intention of increasing the difficulty of achieving the applicable performance criteria). The Company expects that the CEO will formally review performance at least annually in consultation with the Employee. The Employee’s Annual Bonus for a calendar year shall be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) after the end of the applicable calendar year based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria, and shall be paid to the Employee in cash in the calendar year (but no later than March 15 of such calendar year) following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates at the same time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, subject to, except as otherwise provided in Section 7 below, continued employment at the time of payment.

In each case the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares and Performance Shares shall be governed by separate agreements, entered into between Employee and Company consistent with this Agreement. Beginning in 2019, the Employee’s equity and/or other long-term incentive awards for each calendar year during the Employment Term shall be granted by the Company to the Employee at approximately the same time that annual equity and other long-term incentive awards are granted by the Company to other Company senior executives.

Xxxxxx shall be granted two equity awards on his first date of employment with an aggregate value of $1,200,000, which would consist 50% of restricted shares and 50% of performance shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, specifications, designs, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all other confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising from the past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of the Company or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning finances, financing sources, acquisitions, acquisition sources, marketing, advertising, transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, operations, customers and tenants (including tenant or mortgagee financial or operational data, or that of any guarantors of such obligations), suppliers, vendors, partners and deal sources and/or competitors. The Employee agrees that the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Employee’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either during the period of the Employee’s employment or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and to use such information only for certain limited purposes, in each case, which shall have been obtained by the Employee during the Employee’s employment by the Company (or any predecessor). The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Employee, (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Employee through no wrongful act of the Employee or any representative of the Employee, or (iii) the Employee is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that, except to the extent disclosure by the Company or any of its affiliates is contemplated in connection with a potential Change in Control, the Employee provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company at its sole expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, the Employee may disclose documents and information in confidence to an attorney for the purpose of securing legal advice, and may use documents and information as reasonably necessary to enforce the Employee’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise. In addition, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit the Employee from filing a charge with, reporting possible violations to, or participating or cooperating with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local regulatory body or law enforcement agency including in relation to any whistleblower, anti-discrimination, or anti- retaliation provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation. (b) NONCOMPETITION. The Employee acknowledges that (i) the Employee performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that the Employee’s performance of such services to a “Competitive Business” (as defined below) will

A-13 US-DOCS\91838772.5 result in irreparable harm to the Company, (ii) the Employee has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information which, if disclosed, would unfairly and inappropriately assist in competition against the Company and its affiliates, (iii) in the course of the Employee’s employment by a Competitive Business during the non-compete period set forth herein, the Employee would inevitably use or disclose such Confidential Information, (iv) the Company and its affiliates have substantial relationships with their customers and the Employee has had and will continue to have access to these customers, (v) the Employee has generated and will continue to generate goodwill for the Company and its affiliates in the course of the Employee’s employment, (vi) the Company has invested significant time and expense in developing the Confidential Information and goodwill, and (vii) the Company’s operations and the operations upon with the Employee works are nationwide in scope. Accordingly, during the Employee’s employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months following a termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, the Employee agrees that the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in a Competitive Business in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Employee from being a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a Competitive Business, so long as the Employee has no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purposes hereof, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any business involved in the net leased real estate investment industry in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates and the term “Employee’s Termination” shall mean the date the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company for whatever reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. (c) NONSOLICITATION; NONINTERFERENCE. During the Employee’s employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months following Employee’s Termination, the Employee agrees that the Employee shall not, except in the furtherance of the Employee’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, (i) solicit, aid or induce any person or entity the Employee knows or reasonably should have known to be a customer, tenant or mortgagee (or any person or entity to whom the Company to the Employee’s knowledge (or reasonably should know) has leased property or provided capital, directly or indirectly, within the prior 18 months) of the Company or any of its affiliates to purchase goods or services or enter into transactions for the purchase, sale, lease, license or financing of real property then offered by the Company or any of its affiliates from another person, firm, corporation or other entity or assist or aid any other person or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, tenant or counterparty, (ii) solicit, aid or induce any employee or individual independent contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom the Employee, during the term of his employment had contact or became aware of, or about whom the Employee has trade secret or Confidential Information, to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company, or hire or retain any such employee or individual independent contractor, or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee or individual independent contractor, or (iii) interfere, or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and any person or entity the Employee knows or reasonably should have known to be one of their respective vendors, joint

A-14 US-DOCS\91838772.5 venturers or licensors. An employee or individual independent contractor shall be deemed covered by this Section 9(c) while so employed or retained and for a period of three (3) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9(c) shall not be violated by general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at Company-related persons or entities. (d) NONDISPARAGEMENT. The Employee agrees not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Company or its officers, directors or, if Employee is no longer employed, employees of the Company as of the date of Employee’s termination, or products other than in the good faith performance of the Employee’s duties to the Company. The Company agrees to direct the members of its Board and its executive officers not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Employee. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings), and the foregoing limitation on the Company’s directors and executive officers shall not be violated by statements that they in good faith believe are necessary or appropriate to make in connection with performing their duties and obligations to the Company. (e) INVENTIONS. (i) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products, developments, software, know- how, processes, techniques, methods, works of authorship and other work product, whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that are reduced to practice, created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to, or improved with the use of any resources of the Company or its subsidiaries and/or within the scope of the Employee’s work with the Company or its subsidiaries or that relate to the business, operations or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company or its subsidiaries, and that are made or conceived by the Employee, solely or jointly with others, during the period of the Employee’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, or (B) suggested by any work that the Employee performs in connection with the Company or its subsidiaries, either while performing the Employee’s duties with the Company or its subsidiaries or on the Employee’s own time, but only insofar as the Inventions are related to the Employee’s work as an employee or other service provider to the Company or its subsidiaries, shall belong exclusively to the Company or its subsidiaries (or a designee), whether or not patent or other applications for intellectual property protection are filed thereon (the “Inventions”). The Employee will keep full and complete written records (the “Records”), in the manner prescribed by the Company or its subsidiaries, of all Inventions, and will promptly disclose all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its subsidiaries, and the Employee will surrender them upon the termination of the Employment Term, or upon request of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Employee will assign to the Company or its subsidiaries the Inventions and all patents or other intellectual property rights that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether during or subsequent to the Employment Term, together with the right to file, in the Employee’s name or in the name of the Company or its subsidiaries (or a designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”). The Employee will, at any time during and subsequent to the Employment Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all other acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company or its subsidiaries to perfect, record, enforce, protect, patent or register the Company’s (or a subsidiary’s) rights in the Inventions, all without additional compensation to the Employee from the Company or its subsidiaries. The Employee will also execute assignments to the Company or its subsidiaries (or a designee) of the

A-15 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Applications, and give the Company, its subsidiaries and their attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for the Company’s (or a subsidiary’s) benefit, all without additional compensation to the Employee from the Company or its subsidiaries, but entirely at the expense of the Company or its subsidiaries. (ii) In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term is defined under the copyright laws of the United States, on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries, and the Employee agrees that the Company or any of its subsidiaries will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Employee. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, or the rights in such Inventions do not otherwise automatically vest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Employee hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company or its subsidiaries, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Employee’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to xxx at law or in equity for any infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Employee hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with respect to the Inventions. To the extent that the Employee has any rights in the results and proceeds of the Employee’s service to the Company or its subsidiaries that cannot be assigned in the manner described herein, the Employee agrees to unconditionally waive the enforcement of such rights. The Employee hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents and other registrations for intellectual property that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Employee’s benefit by virtue of the Employee being an employee of or other service provider to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. (f) RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Employee’s Termination (or at any time prior thereto at the Company’s reasonable request), the Employee shall return all property belonging to the Company or its affiliates (including, but not limited to, any Company- provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or anywhere to the contrary, the Employee may retain, and use appropriately: (i) the Employee’s rolodex and similar address books (and electronic equivalent) provided that such items only include contact information and (ii) documents and information relating to the Employee’s personal rights and obligations. (g) REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Employee gives the Company assurance that the Employee has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 9. The Employee agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its affiliates and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and

A-16 US-DOCS\91838772.5 that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent the Employee from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Employee is bound by the restraints. The Employee acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its affiliates and that the Employee has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Employee further covenants that the Employee will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9. It is also agreed that each of the Company’s affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the Employee’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 9. (h) REFORMATION. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 9 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state. (i) TOLLING. In the event of any violation of the provisions of Section 9(b) or 9(c), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the post termination restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation. (j) SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in this Section 9 and Section 10 hereof shall survive the termination or expiration of the Employment Term and the Employee’s employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. 10. COOPERATION. Upon receipt of reasonable written request from the Company (including outside counsel), the Employee agrees that while employed by the Company and thereafter, the Employee will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Employee has knowledge as a result of the Employee’s employment with the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company, its affiliates and their respective representatives in defense of all claims that may be made against the Company or its affiliates, and will reasonably assist the Company and its affiliates in the prosecution of all claims that may be made by the Company or its affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Employee’s employment with the Company and does not unreasonably interfere with the Employee’s subsequent employment or self-employment. The Employee agrees to promptly inform the Company if the Employee becomes aware of any lawsuit involving such claims that may be filed or threatened against the Company or its affiliates. The Employee also agrees to promptly inform the Company (to the extent that the Employee is legally permitted to do so) if the Employee is asked to assist in any investigation of the Company or its affiliates (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has then been filed against the Company or its affiliates with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel, duplicating or telephonic expenses incurred by the Employee in complying with this Section 10, and, after the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Employee a daily fee, in an amount (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the

A-17 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Employee’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination by 100, for services rendered by the Employee in complying with this Section 10. 11. EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 9 or Section 10 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Employee agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a violation by the Employee of Section 9 or Section 10 hereof, any severance being paid to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease. 12. NO ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in this Section 12 hereof, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company; provided that the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, together with all exhibits hereto (if any) and the plan documents and agreements referenced herein, including, without limitation, the indemnification agreement listed as an additional benefit in Section 5(d)(iii), sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(a) WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. (b) SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. (i) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be exempt from, and, to the extent not exempt, in compliance therewith. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Employee and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code

A-20 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Section 409A. In no event shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Employee by Code Section 409A, or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A, in each case, for any payments made consistent with the terms of this Agreement. (ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Employee, and (B) the date of the Employee’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 20(b)(ii) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum, and all remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. The Employee shall have no duties following any termination of Employee’s employment hereunder that are inconsistent with the Employee having had a “separation from service” on or before his employment hereunder. (iii) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits for the Employee constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Employee, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. (iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company and if such payment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A and such payment period spans two calendar years, such payment shall be made in the second calendar year.

A-21 US-DOCS\91838772.5 (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.” (iv) Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint may retain physical custody of any certificates representing the Shares until all of the Restrictions lapse or shall have been removed; in such event, the Participant shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested Shares issued to him or her. The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited Shares (or Shares otherwise reacquired by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer. (v) Removal of Notations; Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting. As soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of any Shares subject to the Award pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any Shares subject to the Award issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Shares subject to the Award which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of Shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan). The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required by the Company. The Shares so delivered shall no longer be subject to the Restrictions hereunder. (e) Restrictions. (i) Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, any portion of the Award (and the Shares subject thereto) which has not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting and lapsing of Restrictions, if any, which may occur in connection with such Termination of Service) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company or the Participant, and the Participant shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such Shares or such portion of the Award. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restrictions” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a). (ii) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Section 2.2(a) above, the Award shall vest and Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share, except in the case of the final vesting event). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Award shall not vest and the Restrictions shall not

A-31 US-DOCS\91838772.5 lapse to the extent that such lapsing of Restrictions and vesting is prohibited by Section 13.8 of the Plan. (iii) Tax Withholding. The Company or its Affiliates shall be entitled to require a cash payment (or to elect, or permit the Participant to elect, such other form of payment determined in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Plan) by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the grant or vesting of the Award or the lapse of the Restrictions hereunder. With respect to any tax withholding relating to the Award, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Company or its Affiliates shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Shares otherwise vesting or issuable under the Award having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums to be withheld. The number of Shares which shall be so withheld shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.1(b) hereof), the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or to enter any such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, as applicable, shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Award or the issuance of Shares hereunder. (iv) Conditions to Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 2.1 above, the Shares deliverable under this Award may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares under this Award prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 11.4 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of such Shares shall not be delayed if and to the extent that such delay would result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code. In the event that the Company delays the issuance of such Shares because it reasonably determines that the issuance of such Shares will violate Applicable Law, such issuance shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that issuing such Shares will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii). (v) To ensure compliance with the Restrictions, the Common Stock Ownership Limit, the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit (each as defined in the Company’s charter, as amended from time to time), any other provision of Section 6.2.1(a) of the Company’s charter, and/or Applicable Law and for other proper purposes, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” and other instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Restricted Stock. The Company shall notify the transfer agent as and when the Restrictions lapse. (f) Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Award pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Affiliate.

The Participant covenants that he or she will not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the receipt of any Share without the consent of the Administrator, which the Administrator may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. If, with the consent of the Administrator, the Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Participant hereby agrees to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service. (h) Restricted Stock Not Transferable. Until the Restrictions hereunder lapse or expire pursuant to this Agreement and the Shares vest, the Restricted Stock (including any Shares received by holders thereof with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 11.3 of the Plan; provided, however, that this Section 3.2 notwithstanding, with the consent of the Administrator, the Shares may be transferred to one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to and in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Plan. (i) Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the Grant Date, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares, subject to the Restrictions, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any cash or stock dividends, in respect of the Shares subject to the Award and deliverable hereunder. (j) Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an Employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant. (k) Governing Law. The laws of the State of Texas shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws. (l) Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Award is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

A-33 US-DOCS\91838772.5 (m) Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Award in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by reputable overnight courier or by certified mail (return receipt requested) through the United States Postal Service. (o) Successors and Assigns. The Company or any Affiliate may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company and its Affiliates. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. (p) Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Plan, the Award and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. (q) Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. (r) Limitation on the Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. The Plan, in and of itself, has no assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Shares issuable hereunder.

PERFORMANCE SHARES AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS (u) Grant of Performance Shares. In consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or an Affiliate and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to the Participant an award of Performance Shares (this “Award”) as set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. (v) Performance-Based Right to Payment. (i) Except in the event of a Qualifying Termination during the Performance Period, the vesting of the Participant’s Performance Shares and the issuance of Shares with respect thereto is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals. Accordingly, subject to Section 2.4 hereof, the Participant shall not become entitled to payment with respect to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement unless and until the Administrator determines whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been attained and the Performance Shares have vested. Upon such determination by the Administrator and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant shall be entitled to vesting and payment of that portion of the Performance Shares as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) as set forth in Sections 2.2(b) - (d) and 2.3 hereof. (ii) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company from the Grant Date through the Valuation Date and further subject to Sections 2.2(c), 2.2(d), and 2.3 - 2.5 hereof, the number of Performance Shares that vest shall be determined as of the Valuation Date, based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return, as follows:

A-40 US-DOCS\91838772.5 (A) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is less than the Minimum TSR, then no Performance Shares shall vest and the Performance Shares shall thereupon be forfeited. (B) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is equal to the Minimum TSR, then 66.7% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest. (C) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is equal to the Target TSR, then 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest. (D) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is equal to the Maximum TSR, then 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest. (E) If the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is between the Minimum TSR and the Target TSR or between the Target TSR and the Maximum TSR, then the number of Performance Shares that shall vest in accordance with this Section 2.2(b) shall be determined by means of linear interpolation. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.2(b) hereof, and subject to Sections 2.2(d) and 2.3 - 2.5 hereof, the number of Performance Shares that vest hereunder shall be adjusted as follows: (A) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is greater than the total shareholder return of each of the companies in the Primary Net Lease Peer Group, then the number of Performance Shares that vest and become payable hereunder shall equal the number of Performance Shares that would have otherwise vested pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, increased by (A).05% for each 1 basis point (up to 300 basis points) by which the Company’s TSR exceeds the total shareholder return of the highest performing member of the Net Lease Peer Group with respect to total shareholder return for that period, and (B) by .1% for each 1 basis point (up to 100 basis points) by which the Company’s TSR exceeds the total shareholder return of the highest performing member of the Net Lease Peer Group by 300 basis points with respect to total shareholder return for that period, subject to an aggregate cap on such increase of 25% in the number of Performance Shares pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c)(i). (B) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is greater than the total shareholder return of one of the companies in the Primary Net Lease Peer Group but lower than the total shareholder return of the other company in the Primary Net Lease Peer Group, then the number of Performance Shares that vest and become payable hereunder shall equal the number of vested Performance Shares determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof (i.e., no adjustment). (C) If, as of the Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is lower than the total shareholder return of each of the companies in the

A-41 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Primary Net Lease Peer Group, then the number of Performance Shares that vest and become payable hereunder shall equal the number of Performance Shares that would have otherwise vested pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, decreased by (A).05% for each 1 basis point (up to 300 basis points) by which the Company’s TSR is less than the total shareholder return of the lowest performing member of the Net Lease Peer Group with respect to total shareholder return for that period, and (B) by .1% for each 1 basis point (up to 100 basis points) by which the Company’s TSR is less than the total shareholder return of the lowest performing member of the Net Lease Peer Group by 300 basis points with respect to total shareholder return for that period, subject to a cap on such decrease of 25% in the number of Performance Shares pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c)(iii). (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Company’s TSR with respect to the Performance Period is less than zero (0), the number of Performance Shares that may vest and become payable hereunder shall not exceed the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of Performance Shares that shall vest and become payable hereunder shall be equal to 250% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice and no additional Performance Shares above 250% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest if the Company’s TSR exceeds the Maximum TSR. (w) Performance Share Award Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, in the event that a Performance Share Award Change in Control occurs at any time prior to the End Date and the Participant remains continuously employed as of immediately prior to such Performance Share Award Change in Control, the number of Performance Shares that vest and become payable hereunder shall be determined, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the date on which the Performance Share Award Change in Control occurs. (x) Termination. In the event that the Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the end of the Performance Period, then 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest and become payable hereunder as of the termination date, and no additional Performance Shares shall vest or become payable thereafter. (y) Forfeiture. (i) Termination of Employment. In the event that the Participant experiences a termination of employment during the Performance Period that is not a Qualifying Termination, all of the Performance Shares shall thereupon automatically be forfeited by the Participant as of the date of termination and the Participant’s rights in any such Performance Shares and such portion of the Award, including without limitation any Dividend Equivalents (as defined below), shall thereupon lapse and expire. (ii) Failure to Achieve Performance Goals. Any outstanding Performance Shares that do not vest in accordance with this Agreement due to the failure by the Company to achieve the Performance Goals shall automatically be forfeited by the Participant as of the Valuation Date, and the Participant’s rights in any such Performance Shares and such portion of

A-42 US-DOCS\91838772.5 the Award, including without limitation any Dividend Equivalents, shall thereupon lapse and expire. (z) Dividend Equivalents. This award of Performance Shares is granted in tandem with a Dividend Equivalents award (“Dividend Equivalents”), which Dividend Equivalents shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date until the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the Performance Shares. Pursuant to the Dividend Equivalents, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the aggregate dividends declared by the Company with a record date that occurs during the Dividend Equivalents Period that would have been payable to the Participant had the Participant held a number of Shares on such record date equal to of the number of Performance Shares that vest in accordance with Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof (if any). The Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement which apply to the Performance Shares with respect to which they have been granted and shall vest and be payable, if at all, at the time and to the extent that the underlying Performance Shares vest and become payable. Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable on any Performance Shares that do not vest, or are forfeited, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become payable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the Performance Shares and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Code Section 409A. (aa) Payment of Shares. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Performance Shares pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Shares subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), provided that any such payment made pursuant to Section 2.3 above in the event of a Performance Share Award Change in Control shall be made or deemed made immediately preceding and effective upon the occurrence of such Performance Share Award Change in Control. (bb) Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Performance Shares shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the Performance Shares and any Shares underlying the Performance Shares and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). ARTICLE 3 OTHER PROVISIONS (cc) Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and this Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such

During the lifetime of the Participant, the Performance Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the Performance Shares have been issued. Neither the Performance Shares nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. (ee) Binding Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this

A-44 US-DOCS\91838772.5 Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or to enter any such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, as applicable, shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Award or the issuance of Shares hereunder.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. (ss) Limitation on the Participant’s Rights.
