(the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent”), and Anna Malhari (the “Employee” and, collectively with the Company and Parent, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Original Agreement.

2.           Amendment to Section 6(a)(vi). Section 6(a)(vi) of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 6(a)(vi):

“an amount equal to the average of the Annual Bonuses paid to Employee during the three calendar years prior to the Termination Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year through and including the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year, payable at the same time as Employee’s Annual Bonus for the year of termination would have been paid absent such termination.”

3.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           Except as expressly amended, modified and supplemented by this Amendment, the Original Agreement is and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d)           This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each of the parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Receipt of an executed signature page by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall constitute delivery hereof.
