Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 9, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between DigitalBridge Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“DBRG”), and Ronald M. Sanders (the “Executive”). DBRG, together with its subsidiaries is hereinafter referred to as “the Company,” and where the context permits, references to “the Company” shall include the Company and any successor to the Company.

WHEREAS, Executive has entered into an Employment Agreement with DBRG (the “Original Employment Agreement”), dated as of March 16, 2015 and effective as of April 2, 2015, setting forth the terms by which Executive is employed by DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC or one of its subsidiaries (as applicable, the “Operating Entity”) and serves as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of DBRG; and

WHEREAS, Executive and DBRG desire to amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement in its entirety, effective as of the Effective Date, setting forth the terms by which the Executive will continue to be employed by the Operating Entity and will continue to serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of DBRG.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Executive’s employment under the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue on the Effective Date and shall expire on April 27, 2023. If a successor chief legal officer of DBRG is not satisfactorily established by April 27, 2023, the board of directors of DBRG (the “Board”) may request that the Executive’s last day of employment be extended to a date later than April 27, 2023 on terms no less favorable than those set forth in this Agreement, with any such extension being subject to the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date” shall mean April 27, 2023, or such extended date as the Board and the Executive mutually agree to be the date on which the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement will expire, or such earlier date as may be established pursuant to Section 4(e). The period during which the Executive is employed by the Company between the Effective Date and the Expiration Date pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term”. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 1 to the contrary, the Employment Term and the Executive’s employment shall earlier terminate immediately upon the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

2. POSITION; REPORTING AND DUTIES; LOCATION.

(a) Position and Reporting. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of DBRG and report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of DBRG. The Company shall not change the Executive’s title or position, or have the Executive report to any person other than the Chief Executive Officer of DBRG, without the Executive’s prior written consent.

(b) Duties and Responsibilities.

(i) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time (excepting vacation time, holidays, sick days and periods of disability) and attention to the

performance of his duties hereunder, shall faithfully serve the Company and shall have no other employment which is undisclosed to the Company or which conflicts with his duties under this Agreement; provided, that, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Executive from (A) participating in trade associations or industry organizations, (B) engaging in charitable, civic, educational or political activities, (C) delivering lectures or fulfilling speaking engagements, (D) engaging in personal investment activities and personal real estate-related activities for himself and his family or (E) accepting directorships or similar positions (together, the “Personal Activities”), in each case so long as the Personal Activities do not unreasonably interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company under this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and approves the current activities of the Executive as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, each of which shall be deemed a Personal Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Personal Activities include the Executive providing services to any for-profit company (excluding DBRG, and any subsidiaries or portfolio companies thereof or related management companies) as a member of such company’s board of directors, only one such directorship shall be permitted as a Personal Activity.

(ii) During the Employment Term, in serving in his capacity as set forth above, the Executive shall (A) perform such duties and provide such services as are usual and customary for such position, and (B) provide such other duties as are consistent with such role, as reasonably requested from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of DBRG. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Employment Term, the Executive shall (i) in coordination with the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of DBRG, participate in the search for a successor chief legal officer of DBRG and assist in the transition to such successor chief legal officer of DBRG, with the intent to provide a sufficient overlap/transition period between the Executive and the successor chief legal officer of DBRG, (ii) continue to work on the liquidation of legacy Colony Capital investments and the winding up of the structures related thereto, and (iii) continue to work with the Board on the establishment and formation of a governance and balance sheet transaction committee. Without the prior written consent of the Executive, the Company shall not materially diminish the Executive’s duties, authority or responsibilities, provided, however, that at such time as the Company has hired a successor chief legal officer of DBRG, the Company may assign to such successor chief legal officer duties, authority and/or responsibilities of the Executive.

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that all of the compensation and benefits provided to the Executive hereunder will be in respect of services performed by the Executive for the Operating Entity.

(c) Location of Employment. The Executive’s principal place of business during the Employment Term shall be at the Company’s office in New York, New York. Without the prior written consent of the Executive, the Company shall not relocate the Executive’s place of employment to a location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the location in effect immediately prior to such relocation. The Executive may be required to engage in travel during the Employment Term in the performance of his duties hereunder.

3. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay to the Executive a base salary at the annualized rate of not less than $475,000 (the base salary in effect from time to time, the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices from time to time in effect for the Company’s senior executive officers. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Base Salary from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may

not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Base Salary without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

(b) Annual Cash Bonus.

(i) For each calendar year during the Employment Term beginning with the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs, the Executive shall be given an opportunity to earn an annual incentive cash bonus based on an evaluation by the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) of the Executive’s performance in respect of the applicable calendar year; provided, that, the Board or such committee may determine prior to the beginning of any such calendar year to instead condition the payment of all or a portion of the cash bonus with respect to the applicable calendar year upon the achievement of performance measures determined by the Board or such committee in consultation with the Executive (as applicable, the “Annual Bonus”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus for each calendar year during the Employment Term (including the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs) shall be no less than $1,425,000 (such amount, as increased from time to time, the “Target Bonus Amount”). If the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board), establishes reasonable performance measures as provided for above, the actual Annual Bonus amount paid to the Executive in respect of any calendar year during the Employment Term shall be based on the achievement of the applicable performance measures and may be less or more than the applicable Target Bonus Amount. The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target Bonus Amount from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target Bonus Amount without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement. The Executive’s Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs shall not be pro-rated.

(ii) Any Annual Bonus payment that becomes payable to the Executive hereunder will be paid to him in a cash lump sum by no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which it relates (and no later than the date on which bonuses are paid to other senior executive officers of DBRG); provided, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4(c), 4(d) or 4(e) of this Agreement, the Executive is an active employee as of the date such payment would otherwise be made.

(c) Equity Incentives and Related Awards.

(i) For each calendar year during the Employment Term beginning with the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs, the Executive shall be eligible to receive equity and equity-based incentive awards (“LTIP Awards”), with an annual target LTIP Award opportunity of no less than $1,688,000 (the target amount in effect from time to time, the “Target LTIP Award”). The Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) will review the Target LTIP Award (and any applicable performance measures) from time to time, but at least annually, during the Employment Term, but may not reduce the Executive’s then-existing Target LTIP Award during the Employment Term without the Executive’s prior written consent and agreement.

(ii) The Executive shall (x) continue to receive allocations in respect of carried interests, incentive fees and other such remuneration in respect of funds and similar vehicles, as applicable, managed by the Company that were granted to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and (y) continue to be eligible to be granted new allocations in respect of carried interests, incentive fees and other such remuneration in respect of funds and similar vehicles, as applicable, managed by the Company (collectively, “Fund Incentives”). Allocations of all Fund Incentives shall be made as determined by the Board (or a committee of directors delegated by the Board) in consultation with the Executive.

(iii) The terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives shall be no less favorable than the terms and conditions of any LTIP Awards and Fund Incentives, as applicable, granted to the executive officers of the Company during the same calendar year.

(d) Retirement, Welfare and Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall continue to be eligible to participate in the retirement savings, medical, disability, life insurance, perquisite and other welfare and fringe benefit plans applicable to senior executive officers of DBRG (which will include emergency airlift (if needed) from locations outside the United States to the United States) generally in accordance with the terms of such plans as are in effect from time to time. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the ability of the Company to amend, modify or terminate any such benefit plans, policies or programs in accordance with their terms or to cease providing such benefit plans, policies or programs at any time and from time to time; provided, that, the terms and conditions imposed on Executive’s participation in such plans, policies or programs and any adverse amendments, terminations and modifications are at least as favorable to Executive as those applicable to other senior executives.

(e) Paid Time Off. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the paid time off policies generally applicable to DBRG’s senior executives as are in effect from time to time.

(f) Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs in connection with his employment during the term of the Original Employment Agreement and during the Employment Term upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers and such other information as the Company may require in accordance with the generally applicable policies and procedures of the Company applicable to DBRG’s senior executive officers as are in effect from time to time. No expense payment or reimbursement under this Section 3(f) shall be “grossed up” or increased to take into account any tax liability incurred by the Executive as a result of such payment or reimbursement.

(g) Insurance; Indemnification. The Executive shall be covered by such comprehensive directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and errors and omissions liability insurance as the Company shall have established and maintained in respect of its directors and officers generally at its expense, and the Company shall cause such insurance policies to be maintained in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Executive both during and, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(a)(i)(D) below, after Executive’s employment with the Company. The Executive shall also be entitled to indemnification rights, benefits and related expense advances and reimbursements to the same extent as any other director or officer of DBRG and to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law pursuant to the indemnification agreement between the Executive and the Company dated January 10, 2017 (the “Indemnification Agreement”).

(h) Attorneys’ Fees. The Company shall promptly pay or reimburse the Executive for reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Executive in connection with the review, negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement and any related arrangements, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000, subject to the Executive providing the Company with reasonable documentation of such fees within 30 days following the Effective Date. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for such fees within 10 business days following Executive’s submission to the Company of the documentation evidencing the fees.

4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

(i) Upon any termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: (A) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and vacation (determined in accordance with Company policy) through the date of termination (paid in cash within 30 days (or such shorter period required by applicable law) following the date of termination); (B) reimbursement for expenses and fees incurred by the Executive prior to the date of termination in accordance with Sections 3(f) and 3(h); (C) vested and accrued benefits, if any, to which the Executive may be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans as of the date of termination; and (D) any additional amounts or benefits due under any applicable plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company (including continuing “tail” indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance for actions and inactions occurring while the Executive provided services for DBRG and its affiliates and continued coverage for any actions or inactions by the Executive while providing cooperation under this Agreement), including any such plan, program, agreement or arrangement relating to equity or equity-based awards (the amounts and benefits described in clauses (A) through (D) above, collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”).

following the date on which such written notice is received by the Executive) and (2) the Executive fails or refuses to materially cure or cease such misconduct or breach within 10 business days after such written notice is given to him.

(G)    On the Release Effective Date, all equity or equity-based awards relating to the securities of the Company issued to the Executive that are outstanding and unvested as of the Release Effective Date (including, without limitation, the 2022 LTIP Award and the Pro-Rated LTIP Award), (1) that are subject to time-based vesting, shall fully vest as of the Release Effective Date, and (2) that are subject to performance-based vesting, shall remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the expiration of the Employment Term, shall continue to vest based on the level of actual achievement of such performance goals or metrics, as determined in the same manner as applies to other recipients of such performance-based awards generally; and

Any dispute as to whether or not the Executive is disabled within the meaning of the preceding sentence shall be resolved by a qualified, independent physician reasonably satisfactory to the Executive and the Company, and the determination of such physician shall be final and binding upon both the Executive and the Company. All fees and expenses of any such physician shall be borne solely by the Company.

(e) Change in the Expiration Date to a Date Earlier Than April 27, 2023. The Board, at any time without Cause, effective four (4) business days following the date on which written notice to such effect is delivered to the Executive, may change the Expiration Date to a date that is earlier than April 27, 2023, in which case the Employment Term shall end and the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate on such earlier Expiration Date and the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (A) the Accrued Benefits and (B) upon the Release Effective Date, at the times and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4(c), the Expiration Date Items; provided, that (i) for purposes of Section 4(c)(i)(A), the Stay Bonus shall be increased by an amount equal to the Base Salary that would have been paid to Executive from the Expiration Date through April 27, 2023, (ii) for purposes of Section 4(c)(i)(B), if the 2022 Annual Bonus has not been established as of the Expiration Payment Date, the Company shall pay the Executive the Target Bonus Amount for calendar year 2022, (iii) for purposes of Section 4(c)(i)(C), if the LTIP Award has not been established for calendar year 2022, the Company shall issue to Executive the Target LTIP Award for calendar year 2022, (iv) for purposes of Section 4(c)(i)(D), if the Target Bonus Amount has not been established for calendar year 2023, the Pro-Rated Bonus shall be the Target Bonus Amount for calendar year 2022 multiplied by the Pro-Rated Percentage, and (v) for purposes of Section 4(c)(i)(E), if the Target LTIP Award has not been established for calendar year 2023, the Pro-Rated LTIP Award shall be the Target LTIP Award for calendar year 2022 multiplied by the Pro-Rated Percentage.

The Executive’s execution of this Agreement shall be deemed the grant by the Executive to the officers of the Company of a limited power of attorney to sign in the Executive’s name and on the Executive’s behalf any such documentation as may be required to be executed solely for the limited purposes of effectuating such resignations.

(h) No Set-Off or Mitigation. The Company’s obligations to make payments under this Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other claim the

Company or any of its affiliates may have against the Executive. The Executive does not need to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate any amounts owed to the Executive under this Agreement, and those amounts shall not be reduced if the Executive does obtain other employment.

5. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Executive entered into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”), which was effective as of April 2, 2015. The Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall continue in effect at all applicable times in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, including as set forth in Section 4(c)(ii) above.

6. SECTION 280G.

(a) Treatment of Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an independent, nationally recognized, accounting firm which shall be designated by the Company with the Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “Total Payments”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then the Accounting Firm shall determine if the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive that are subject to Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes, and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this Section 6(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments.

(b) Ordering of Reduction. In the case of a reduction in the Total Payments pursuant to Section 6(a), the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will

next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata.

(c) Certain Determinations. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. The Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the requisite calculations and analysis under this Section 6 (and shall cooperate to the extent necessary for any of the determinations in this Section 6(c) to be made), and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its determinations hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify the Executive and the Company to that effect. In the absence of manifest error, all determinations by the Accounting Firm under this Section 6 shall be binding on the Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the later of the Executive’s date of termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any legal counsel retained by the Accounting Firm.

(d) Additional Payments. If the Executive receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this Section 6 and it is established pursuant to a determination of a court of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to review or as to which the time to appeal has expired, or pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service proceeding, that the Executive could have received a greater amount without resulting in any Excise Tax, then the Company shall thereafter pay the Executive the aggregate additional amount which could have been paid without resulting in any Excise Tax as soon as reasonably practicable following such determination.

7. ASSIGNMENT; ASSUMPTION OF AGREEMENT. No right, benefit or interest hereunder shall be subject to assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, hypothecation or setoff by the Executive in respect of any claim, debt, obligation or similar process. This Agreement may not be assigned by DBRG other than to a successor and DBRG will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or the business to which Executive devotes his time to assume expressly and to 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.

8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) No Breach of Obligation to Others. The Executive represents and warrants that his entering into this Agreement does not, and that his performance under this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the Executive is a party or any decree,

judgment or order to which the Executive is subject, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Executive enforceable against the Executive in accordance with its terms.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such state.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the documents referred to herein, constitutes and expresses the whole agreement of the parties hereto with reference to any of the matters or things herein provided for or herein before discussed or mentioned with reference to the Executive’s employment with the Company, and it cancels and replaces any and all prior understandings, agreements and term sheets between the Executive and DBRG and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, that, this Agreement shall not alter, amend or supersede (i) any Fund Incentives issued to Executive prior to the Effective Date, (ii) any interest the Executive or any of his affiliates may have in any general partner of any fund or related entity managed by the Company, (iii) the Indemnification Agreement referenced in Section 3(g) of this Agreement to which the Executive or any of his affiliates is a party or beneficiary and (iv) any equity grant made by DBRG to the Executive prior to the Effective Date. All promises, representations, collateral agreements and understandings not expressly incorporated in this Agreement are hereby superseded by this Agreement.

or to such other address as is provided by a party to the other from time to time.

(e) Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Executive contained in this Agreement will survive any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

(f) Amendment; Waiver; Termination. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and DBRG. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of compliance with any condition or provision

of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(g) Further Assurances. The parties hereto will from time to time after the date hereof execute, acknowledge where appropriate and deliver such further instruments and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Severability. If any term or provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in a final court or arbitration proceeding, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(i) Arbitration. Except as otherwise set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be mutually resolved by the parties hereto shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in New York, New York, before a panel of three neutral arbitrators, each of whom shall be selected jointly by the parties, or, if the parties cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrators, as selected by the American Arbitration Association. The commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) shall govern any arbitration between the parties, except that the following provisions are included in the parties’ agreement to arbitrate and override any contrary provisions in the AAA Rules:

(i) The agreement to arbitrate and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict or choice of law rules;

(ii) New York law shall govern the arbitration, the agreement to arbitrate, and any proceedings to enforce, confirm, modify or vacate the award;

(iii) The arbitrators shall apply New York law;

(iv) Any petition or motion to modify or vacate the award shall be filed in a Supreme Court in New York (the “Court”);

(iv) The award shall be written, reasoned, and shall include findings of fact as to all factual issues and conclusions of law as to all legal issues;

(v) Either party may seek a de novo review by the Court of the conclusions of law included in the award and any petition or motion to enforce, confirm, modify or vacate the award; and

(vi) The arbitration shall be confidential. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction.

The parties hereby agree that the arbitrators shall be empowered to enter an equitable decree mandating specific enforcement of the terms of this Agreement. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in any arbitration hereunder and the parties shall share equally all expenses of the arbitrators; provided, that, the arbitrator shall have the same authority to award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party in any arbitration as part of the arbitrator’s award as would be the case had the dispute or controversy been argued before a court with competent jurisdiction.

(j) Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto, and

accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. In the event that any provision of Agreement or any other agreement or award referenced herein is mutually agreed by the parties to be in violation of Section 409A of the Code, the parties shall cooperate reasonably to attempt to amend or modify this Agreement (or other agreement or award) in order to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code while attempting to preserve the economic intent of the applicable provision. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other arrangement between the Executive and the Company during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death). If the separation pay provided by this Agreement is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and the period to consider the Release spans two (2) tax years, then the severance will be paid with the first regularly scheduled payroll in the second tax year or, if later, the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to the Executive) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. DBRG makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. For purposes of this Section 9(j), Section 409A of the Code shall include all regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

(k) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

(l) Construction. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arm’s-length negotiations between sophisticated parties, each afforded representation by legal counsel. Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of the same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

(n) Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or ruling. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any payment provided to the Executive hereunder, and the Executive shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Executive with respect to any such payment.

(o) Cooperation. For a period of 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events during the Executive’s employment hereunder of which the Executive has knowledge. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the Executive’s reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, in accordance with the Company’s policies (and consistent with the Executive’s travel practices during the Executive’s employment with the Company) and subject to the delivery of reasonable support for such expenses. Any such requests for cooperation shall be subject to the Executive’s business and personal schedule and the Executive shall not be required to cooperate against his own legal interests or the legal interests of his employer or partners or business ventures. In the event the Executive reasonably determines that he needs separate legal counsel in connection with his cooperation, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable costs of such counsel as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 days) following its receipt of an invoice for such costs. In the event the Executive is required to cooperate for more than 8 hours in any 12-month period, the Executive shall be paid an hourly consulting fee in an amount mutually agreed between the Company and Executive at the time.

Ronald M. Sanders (“Executive”), the former Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (“DBRG” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Employer”), hereby enters into and agrees to be bound by this General Waiver and Release of Claims (the “Release”). Executive acknowledges that he is required to execute this Release in order to be eligible for certain post-termination benefits (the “Post-Termination Benefits”) as set forth in Section [4(c)(i)] / [4(e)] of his Employment Agreement with DBRG, dated December 9, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Employment Agreement.

1. SEPARATION DATE. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his separation from Employer was effective as of             , 20XX ( the “Separation Date”).

2. WAGES FULLY PAID. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has received payment in full for all salary and other wages, including without limitation any accrued, unused vacation or other similar benefits earned through the Separation Date.

3. EXECUTIVE’S GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS.

(a) Waiver and Release. Pursuant to Section [4(c)(i)] / [4(e)] of the Employment Agreement, and in consideration of the Post-Termination Benefits to be provided to Executive as outlined in the Employment Agreement and this Release as set forth herein, Executive, on behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, forever waives, releases and discharges Employer, its officers, directors, owners, shareholders and agents (collectively referred to herein as, the “Employer Group”), and each of its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, servants, accountants, attorneys, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (together with the Employer Group, the “Employer Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, causes of actions, fees, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, that Executive has ever had or might have against the Employer Released Parties that directly or indirectly arise out of, relate to, or are connected with, Executive’s services to, or employment by the Company, including, but not limited to (i) any claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended (with respect to unvested benefits), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, Section 1981 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, as amended, , and/or any other federal, state or local law (statutory, regulatory or otherwise) that may be legally waived and released and (ii) any tort and/or contract claims, including any claims of wrongful discharge, defamation, emotional distress, tortious interference with contract, invasion of privacy, nonphysical injury, personal injury or sickness or any other harm. Executive acknowledges that if the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other administrative agency brings any charge or complaint on his behalf or for his benefit, this Release bars Executive from receiving, and Executive hereby waives any right to, any monetary or other individual relief related to such a charge or complaint. This Release, however, excludes (i) any claims made under state workers’ compensation or unemployment laws, and/or any claims that cannot be waived by law, (ii) claims with respect to the breach of any covenant (including any payments under the Employment Agreement) to be performed by Employer after the date of this Release, (iii) any rights to indemnification or contribution or directors’ and officers’ liability insurance under the Employment Agreement,

Indemnification Agreement, any operative documents of the Company or any applicable law, (iv) any claims as a holder of Company equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans or as a holder of Fund Incentives; and (v) any claims for vested benefits under any employee benefit plan (excluding any severance plan and including claims under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985) or any claims that may arise after the date Executive signs the Release.

(b) Waiver of Unknown Claims. Executive intends to fully waive and release all claims against Employer; therefore, he expressly understands and hereby agrees that this Release is intended to cover, and does cover, not only all known injuries, losses or damages, but any injuries, losses or damages that he does not now know about or anticipate, but that might later develop or be discovered, including the effects and consequences of those injuries, losses or damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges that by accepting the benefits and payments offered in exchange for this Release, he assumes and waives the risks that the facts and the law may be other than he believes and that, after signing this Release, he may discover losses or claims that are released under this Release, but that are presently unknown to him, and he understands and agrees that this Release shall apply to any such losses or claims.

(c) Acknowledgement of ADEA Waiver. Without in any way limiting the scope of the foregoing general release of claims, Executive acknowledges that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (the “ADEA”) and that such waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. This waiver and release does not govern any rights or claims that might arise under the ADEA after the date this Release is signed by Executive. Executive acknowledges that: (i) the consideration given for this Release is in addition to anything of value to which Executive otherwise would be entitled to receive; (ii) he has been advised in writing to consult with an attorney of his choice prior to signing this Release; (iii) he has been provided a full and ample opportunity to review this Release, including a period of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider it (which will not be lengthened by any revisions or modifications); (iv) he has read and fully understands this Release and has had the opportunity to discuss it with an attorney of his choice; (v) to the extent that Executive takes less than twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release prior to execution, he acknowledges that he had sufficient time to consider this Release with counsel and that he expressly, voluntarily and knowingly waives any additional time; and (vi) Executive is aware of his right to revoke this Release at any time within the seven (7)-day period following the date on which he executes this Release. Executive further understands that he shall relinquish any right he has to Post-Termination Benefits described in the Employment Agreement if he exercises his right to revoke this Release. Notice of revocation must be made in writing and must be received by [Name, Title], no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the seventh (7th) calendar day immediately after the day on which Executive executes this Release.

4. NO CLAIMS BY EXECUTIVE. Executive affirms and warrants that he has not filed, initiated or caused to be filed or initiated any claim, charge, suit, complaint, grievance, action or cause of action against Employer or any of the other Employer Released Parties.

5. NO ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS. Executive affirms and warrants that he has made no assignment of any right or interest in any claim which he may have against any of the Employer Released Parties.

6. CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing in the Release, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement or otherwise shall prohibit or impede Executive from communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint with any U.S. federal, state, or local governmental or law enforcement branch agency or entity (“Governmental Agency”) with respect to possible violations of any U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation or

otherwise making disclosure to any Governmental Agency, in each case, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation to the extent such communications and/or disclosures are consistent with applicable law. In addition, Executive is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) that he will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.
