It shall be a condition precedent to Executive’s right to terminate his employment for Good Reason that (a) he shall have first given the Company written notice stating with reasonable specificity the act(s) on which such termination is premised within forty-five (45) days after Executive becomes aware of such act(s), (b) if such act(s) is susceptible of cure or remedy, it has not been cured or remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, and Executive has terminated his employment within forty-five (45) days after so notifying the Company.

4.1.4 Any Other Reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time without Cause by giving written notice of such termination to Executive, and Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time without Good Reason by giving written notice of such termination to the Company. Any notice by Executive hereunder shall be given at least sixty (60) days in advance of such termination.

4.3.3 Termination Due to Death or Disability. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death or Disability the OP shall pay all Accrued Obligations to Executive or Executive’s estate in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) business days after the Termination Date.

In consideration of the severance payments and other benefits described in clauses (b), (c), (e) and (f) of Section 4.3.2, to which severance payments and benefits Executive would not otherwise be entitled, and as a precondition to Executive becoming entitled to such severance payments and other benefits under this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute and deliver to the Company within thirty (30) business days after the applicable Termination Date a waiver and general release of claims in favor of the Company and the OP, their respective predecessors and successors, and all of the respective current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that has become effective in accordance with its terms. If Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release Agreement within thirty (30) business days after the applicable Termination Date, or if Executive revokes such Release as provided therein, the Company shall have no obligation to provide any of the severance payments and other benefits described in clauses (b), (c), (e) or (f) of Section 4.3.2. If such severance payments and other benefits could be paid in either of two calendar years depending on the date such release is delivered to the Company, such payments shall be made on the later of January 15, or the date such release is delivered and becomes non-revocable, of such later calendar year.

4.4 Required Delay For Certain Deferred Compensation and Section 409A. In the event that any compensation with respect to Executive’s termination is “deferred compensation” within the

 

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ – Employment Agreement – Execution Version

meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), the shares of the Company, the OP or any affiliate is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, payment of such compensation shall be delayed as required by Section 409A. Such delay shall last six (6) months from the date of Executive’s termination, except in the event of Executive’s death. Within twenty (20) business days following the end of such six (6)-month period, or, if earlier, Executive’s death, the Company shall make a catch-up payment to Executive equal to the total amount of such payments that would have been made during the six (6)-month period but for this Section 4.4. Such catch-up payment shall bear simple interest at the prime rate of interest as published by the Wall Street Journal’s bank survey as of the first day of the six (6)-month period, which such interest shall be paid with the catch-up payment. Wherever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

4.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company, QTS, the OP or its subsidiaries and for which Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company, QTS, the OP or its subsidiaries at or subsequent to the termination date, which shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.
