(b)As soon as practicable following the Measurement Date (but in no event later than 60 days thereafter) or, in the case of a Change in Control, as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, but as of the Measurement Date, the Committee will determine the Performance Factor in accordance with Exhibit A, and the number of Award LTIP Units that are earned (the “Earned Award LTIP Units”) will be equal to the Award LTIP Units multiplied by the Performance Factor. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Earned Award LTIP Units be greater than the number of Award LTIP Units issued pursuant to this Award (other than any increase attributable to Earned Dividend LTIP Units).

(c)If the Grantee earns any Award LTIP Units as of the Measurement Date pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 3(b) hereof, then the Grantee will also earn the Earned Dividend LTIP Units. Any Earned Dividend LTIP Units shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4 hereof applicable to the other Earned Award LTIP Units.

(d)If the number of Earned Award LTIP Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Earned Dividend LTIP Units) is smaller than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then the Grantee, as of the Measurement Date, shall forfeit a number of Award LTIP Units equal to the difference without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer only to the Award LTIP Units that were not so forfeited and neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in the Award LTIP Units that were so forfeited. If the Earned Award LTIP Units, together with the Earned Dividend LTIP Units, are greater than the aggregate number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3 and in Section 4: (i) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Measurement Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (ii) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the LTIP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award; and (iii) the Company and the Partnership shall take such corporate and partnership action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, the terms Award LTIP Units will refer collectively to the LTIP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee confirming the truth and accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 12 hereof and executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Award, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws. If the number of Earned Award LTIP Units and Earned Dividend LTIP Units is the same as the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to this Section 3.

(e)Any Award LTIP Units that are not earned or do not become vested pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 4 hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unearned or unvested Award LTIP Units.

4.Termination of Grantee’s Service Relationship; Death and Disability; Change in Control.

(a)Waiver. Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this one-time Award are independent and distinct from the terms of the Company’s Executive Severance Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”), and Grantee expressly waives any rights or benefits set forth in the Severance Plan in connection with this Agreement. In the case of Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service or in the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of this Agreementshall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award LTIP Units exclusively.

(b)Qualified Termination. If the calculations provided in Section 3(b) hereof are triggered by the Qualified Termination of the Grantee, then the Earned Award LTIP Units calculated pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof shall be multiplied by the Partial Service Factor (with the resulting number being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Earned Award LTIP Units for all purposes under this Agreement (including with respect to the calculation of Earned Dividend LTIP Units).

(c)Death or Disability. If the calculations provided in Section 3(b) hereof are triggered by the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his death or Disability, then the Earned Award LTIP Units calculated pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof shall be multiplied by the Enhanced Partial Service Factor (with the resulting number being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Earned Award LTIP Units for all purposes under this Agreement (including with respect to the calculation of Earned Dividend LTIP Units).

(d)Termination for Cause. In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause prior to the Measurement Date, all Award LTIP Units shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor

any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Award LTIP Units.

(e)Change in Control. If the calculations provided in Section 3(b) hereof are triggered by a Change in Control, then 100% of the Grantee’s Earned Award LTIP Units (including any Earned Dividend LTIP Units) shall vest immediately and automatically as of the Measurement Date.

5.Distributions.

(a) The holder of the Award LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in Section 17.2(a) of the Partnership Agreement, as modified hereby.

6.Restrictions on Transfer of Award.

(a)Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the LTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the OP Units of the Partnership into which such LTIP Units may be converted shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”) and the right to exchange all or a portion of the OP Units for cash or, at the option of the Partnership, for shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Right”) may not be exercised with respect to the OP Units, provided that, at any time after the date that (x) the LTIP Units are earned and vested and (y) is two (2) years after the effective date of the grant, (i) LTIP Units or OP Units may be Transferred to the Grantee’s Family Members (as defined below) by gift or domestic relations order, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent Transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 6 and (ii) the Exchange Right may be exercised with respect to OP Units, and OP Units may be Transferred to the Partnership or the Company in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Right, in accordance with and to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, all Transfers of LTIP Units or OP Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of LTIP Units or OP Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of LTIP Units or OP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units or OP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any LTIP Units or OP Units. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Determination of Performance Factor

1.Definitions.

“Actual Revenue” means the Revenue recorded in the last full fiscal quarter ending on or prior to the applicable measurement date, multiplied by four (4).

“AMB Measurement Date” means the earliest of (i) March 31, 2024, (ii) the Measurement Date or (iii) the sale or transfer of the AMB.

“Core FFO Per Share Growth” is calculated as the Core FFO per share of the preceding four fiscal quarters of the Performance Period (or pro-rated portion of the Performance Period in the event of a Measurement Date prior to the last day of the Performance Period) divided by the Core FFO per share of the full four fiscal quarter period preceding the beginning of the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the share count used to calculate the Company’s Core FFO Per Share Growth will include all outstanding Common Stock and vested non-controlling interests convertible into Common Stock but will exclude any shares or non-controlling interests issued pursuant to the earnout provisions of the Definitive Contribution Agreement, dated May 18, 2017, between the Company and Phillips Edison Limited Partnership.

“Core FFO” means core funds from operations of the Company or member of the Peer Group, as applicable, for each year in the Performance Period determined by reference to the consolidated financial statements of the Company or member of the Peer Group for such year. The Company’s Core FFO shall be subject to adjustment at the discretion of the Committee to take into account unusual or infrequently occurring events.

“Peer Group” means members of the Company’s peer group, as determined by the Committee as of the Grant Date, which is comprised of Brixmor Property Group Inc. (BRX), Regency Centers Corporation (NYSE: REG), Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI), Kimco Realty Corporation (NYSE: KIM), Retail Properties of America, Inc. (NYSE: RPAI), Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (NYSE: RPT), Retail Opportunity Investments Corporation (NASDAQ: ROIC), Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) and Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CDR) (with appropriate or necessary adjustments during the Performance Period as determined by the Committee in good faith).

“Revenue” means, as determined by the Committee, all fees earned by the AMB, provided that any such fees that are one-time in nature and not ongoing (e.g., promote payments, transaction-based fees such as acquisition, disposition or financing) shall be amortized over seven (7) years.  Revenue shall expressly exclude (i) fees associated with any contract pursuant to which, on or prior to the AMB Measurement Date, the counterparty has exercised its right to terminate such contract and (ii) fees from the in-place contracts relating to Necessity Retail Partners and Grocery Retail Partner I and II joint ventures, and the in-place fee stream in Phillips Edison Grocery REIT, III.  Revenue shall expressly include fees arising from any new equity raised in the foregoing ventures/entities.

2.Determination of Performance Factor. The Performance Factor shall be determined in accordance with the matrix set forth below, based on (i) Actual Revenue, measured as of the AMB Measurement Date, and (ii) the percentile ranking of the Company’s Core FFO Per Share Growth for the Performance Period relative to the Core FFO Per Share Growth of the Peer Group for the Performance Period; provided that, in no event shall the Performance Factor exceed 100%.

		Core FFO Per Share Growth
		25th Percentile	40th Percentile	55th Percentile	70th Percentile	80th Percentile
Actual Revenue	$5 million	0.0%	12.5%	25.0%	37.5%	50.0%
	$11 million	12.5%	25.0%	37.5%	50.0%	62.5%
	$17 million	25.0%	37.5%	50.0%	62.5%	75.0%
	$23 million	37.5%	50.0%	62.5%	75.0%	87.5%
	$30 million +	50.0%	62.5%	75.0%	87.5%	100.0%

* The Performance Factor will be determined based on linear interpolation between each of the levels set forth above.

3.Minimum Revenue. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no Award LTIP Units shall be earned unless or until Actual Revenue, measured as of any date within the first five years of the Performance Period, equals or exceeds $5 million. If Actual Revenue does not exceed $5 million measured as of any date during the Performance Period, then the Performance Factor shall be equal to 0% and none of the Award LTIP Units shall be earned pursuant to this Award.
