Term of Employment.

Corporation agrees to employ Employee and Employee agrees to be employed in the capacity of General Counsel for a term of three (3) years effective January 1, 2014 and terminating December 31, 2016. Thereafter, the term of this Employment Agreement shall be automatically renewed and extended for successive one-year periods except that either party may, at least ninety (90) days prior to such expiration date or any anniversary thereof, give written notice to the other party electing that this Employment Agreement not be renewed or extended, in which event this Employment Agreement shall expire as of the expiration date or anniversary date, respectively.

In the event of a merger of the Corporation, sale or change of control, defined as voting control (under any such circumstance referred to as a “Change of Control”), Employee shall have the right to extend and renew this Employment Agreement so that the expiration date will be three years from the date of the Change of Control. Alternatively, Employee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and shall be entitled to receive one year’s base salary in accordance with paragraph 1c below. Any combination of MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION and UMH PROPERTIES, INC. shall not be considered a Change of Control.

If there is a termination of employment by the Corporation for any reason, either involuntary or voluntary, including the death of the Employee, other than a termination for cause as defined herein, Employee shall be entitled to the greater of the base salary due under the remaining term of this Agreement or one year’s base salary at the date of termination, paid monthly over the remaining term or life of this Agreement. Provided, however, that in the event of a termination in connection with a Change of Control, said termination shall not be considered for cause.

If employment is terminated or not renewed by the Corporation, and Employee is a Director of the Corporation, Employee will be presumed to have resigned the directorship. Provided, however, that the terms of this paragraph shall not apply in the event of a termination in connection with a Change of Control.

In addition to any other compensation afforded herein, provided that Employee is actively employed by the Corporation as of the consummation of a Change of Control, Employee shall be entitled to a transaction bonus consistent with the terms of the Corporation’s Executive Management Transaction Bonus Plan, which Plan shall be approved by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee.

Time and Efforts.

Employee shall diligently and conscientiously devote her time and attention and use her best efforts in the discharge of her duties as General Counsel of the Corporation.

Board of Directors.

Employee should at all times discharge her duties in consultation with and under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Compensation.

Corporation shall pay to Employee as compensation for her services a base salary, which shall be paid in such intervals as salaries are paid generally to other executive officers of the Corporation, as follows:

For the year beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2014, the base salary shall be $275,625.00 annually;

For the year beginning January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2015, the base salary shall be $325,000.00 annually;

The Employee shall purchase and/or maintain a disability insurance policy providing up to 60% of her salary and commencing 90 days after the date of disability. During the first 90 days following the date of disability, Employee’s salary will continue to be paid by the Corporation. Thereafter, the Employee will receive lost wages from the disability policy. The Corporation will reimburse the Employee for the cost of such insurance. As an alternative to long-term disability, Employee shall have the option to purchase and/or maintain, and be fully reimbursed for, a short-term disability policy on terms to be approved by the Corporation.

Corporation will also provide the Employee with an automobile, including maintenance, repairs, insurance, and all costs incident thereto.

10.

Termination

This Employment Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation at any time by reason of the death or disability of Employee or for cause, or for any reason other than discrimination or retaliation. A termination “for cause” shall mean a termination of this Employment Agreement by reason of a good faith determination by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the President of the Corporation that Employee, by engaging in fraud or willful misconduct, a) failed to substantially perform her duties with the Corporation (if not due to death or disability), or b) has engaged in conduct, the consequences of which are materially adverse to the Corporation, monetarily or otherwise. “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental illness which, in the judgment of the Corporation after consultation with the licensed physician attending the Employee, impairs the Employee’s ability to substantially perform her duties under this Employment Agreement as an employee, and as a result of which she shall have been absent from her duties with the Corporation on a full time basis for six (6) consecutive months. The termination provisions shall not, in any way, affect the disability benefits provided for in this Employment Agreement.

Arbitration and Damages Limitation

It is expressly agreed by all parties to this Agreement that any dispute between the parties will be determined by binding arbitration performed under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

arising from Employee’s employment, except for matters solely and directly related to Workers Compensation Insurance.
