6. Benefit Programs.  During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Company's benefit and paid time off plans as are generally made available from time-to-time to the Company's employees, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans, and subject to the Company's right to amend, terminate or take other similar actions with respect to such plans.  However, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in these plans, each year of the Term, Employee shall be entitled to three (3) weeks paid vacation and six (6) paid sick days.  Unless otherwise provided in the benefit plans, COBRA or other applicable law, Employee's right to participate in any benefit plans shall cease as of the Termination Date, regardless of the reason for termination.

e. Third Party Information.  Employee understands and acknowledges that the Company Group has received, and in the future will receive, from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  At all times during Employee's employment with the Company, whether during the Term or at-will, and at all times thereafter, Employee covenants and agrees to hold all such third party confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and will not intentionally or negligently disclose it to any person or entity or to use it except as necessary in carrying out Employee's duties and obligations hereunder, consistent with the Company Group's agreement with such third party.  Employee shall not be in violation of Employee's obligations hereunder if such third party confidential or proprietary information is already generally known to the public through no wrongful act of Employee or any other party.
f. Company Property.  Employee hereby confirms that the Confidential Information of the Company or any member of the Company Group (collectively, "Company Property") constitutes the sole and exclusive property of the Company or such member, as applicable, regardless of whether Employee possessed or claims to have possessed such information prior to the date hereof if the same has been utilized by the Company Group for any business purpose.  Employee agrees that upon termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee shall promptly return to the Company, and retain no copies of, all Company Property, including Company Property recorded or appearing in any notes, notebooks, memoranda, computer disks, Rolodexes and any other similar repositories of information (regardless of whether Employee possessed such information prior to the date hereof).  Such repositories of information also include any files or other data compilations in any form, whether on Employee's personal or home computer or otherwise, which in any manner contain any Company Property.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this subsection is intended to prevent Employee from maintaining contact information pertaining to the industry that Employee has accumulated over Employee's years in such industry, including as an Employee of the Company; provided, however, that Employee shall not use such information in any manner that does or may result in a violation of Employee's obligations under this Section 12.
13. Representations and Warranties.  Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company, and hereby agrees with the Company, as follows:
a. That the covenants contained in Sections 8 and 12 hereof are reasonable, appropriate and suitable in their geographic scope, duration and content, and that Employee will not raise such issues in any proceeding to enforce such covenants and agreements;
b. The enforcement of any remedy under this Agreement does not impose an undue hardship on Employee and will not prevent Employee from earning a livelihood, because Employee's past work history and abilities are such that Employee can reasonably expect to find work irrespective of the covenants and agreements contained in Section 12 hereof.
c. The covenants and agreements stated in Sections 8 and 12 hereof, and this Section 13, are essential for the Company's reasonable protection and do not impose a restraint on Employee that is greater than required for the Company's protection;
d. The Company has reasonably relied on these covenants and agreements by Employee.
e. Employee has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform Employee's duties and obligations hereunder, and the entering into and performance of this Agreement by Employee will not violate or conflict with any arrangements or agreements Employee may have or agreed to have with any other person or entity.
-5-


f. Additionally, Employee agrees that in the event of his breach or threatened breach of any covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 8 and 12 hereof, the Company may seek to enforce such covenants and agreements and will have all remedies for such breach or threatened breach available at law, in equity or under this Agreement, including specific performance or injunction, without the necessity of posting any bond or waiving any claim for damages.  In any such event, Employee waives any claim that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.  If in such an action the court or arbitrator finds that any provision of Section 12 of this Agreement is not reasonable as to time, geographical area or scope of activity to be restrained, imposes a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the Company or imposes an undue hardship on Employee, then the court shall revise the covenant to the extent necessary and enforce the covenant as revised.
14. Termination for Death; Disability.  Employee's employment with the Company shall terminate as of the date of Employee's death or may be terminated by the Company in the event of Employee's Disability (as defined below).   In the event of such a termination,  Employee's estate or beneficiaries shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder or otherwise from the Company after the Termination Date other than: (a) unpaid Base Salary earned through the Termination Date; (b) any vested PARK Shares; (c) all then-outstanding Company equity-based awards held by Employee, to the extent subject to time-based vesting, shall vest in full as of the Termination Date; (d) an amount equal to twelve (12) months' Base Salary and Target Annual Incentive, to be paid in accordance with the Company's scheduled payroll practices; (e) incurred but unpaid business expense reimbursement pursuant to Section 7 hereof; and (f) any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable thereto.  It shall be a condition to Employee's right to receive the amounts and benefits provided for in (c) and (d) in the preceding sentence that Employee execute and deliver to the Company an effective general release of claims in the form requested by the Company (the "Release") within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) days) following the Termination Date and that Employee not revoke such Release during any applicable revocation period. The Company will, in its discretion, either maintain or reimburse Employee for a standard term life insurance policy for three times the amount of the Base Salary.  In the event Company elects to reimburse the premiums for such a policy, the reimbursement will be made following the receipt by Company of reasonably adequate documentation showing the expense incurred, and the amount of the reimbursement will not exceed $2,500.00 annually.  Payment to Employee's estate or beneficiaries by Company for any items due from it hereunder shall be made as soon as possible after any legal prerequisites have been met (such as the appointment of an executor or administrator).
In the event Employee suffers a physical or mental condition which precludes his working for the Company for a period in excess of 30 days, the Company, in its discretion, may cease payment of the Base Salary until Employee is able to return to work.  In the event Employee suffers a physical or mental condition which preludes his working for the Company for a period in excess of 90 days ("Disability"), the Company, in its discretion, may terminate Employee's employment, provided that such termination would not violate applicable law.  The Company will continue to maintain any current disability policy for the benefit of Employee.
15. Termination by the Company for Cause.  The Company may at any time terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment with the Company immediately for Cause (as defined in this Section 15) by advising Employee of such determination in writing.  In the event the Company terminates Employee's employment for Cause, Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation or monies from the Company after the Termination Date other than: (a) unpaid Base Salary earned through the Termination Date (which shall be paid on the Termination Date); (b) incurred but unpaid business expense reimbursement pursuant to Section 7 hereof; (c) any vested PARK Shares; and (d) any benefits payable by the Company to which Employee is entitled in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plan.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) any breach by Employee of any of Employee's material obligations contained in this Agreement; (ii) neglect or failure to perform Employee's duties and obligations consistent with Employee's position with the Company; ; (iii) violation of the Policies and Procedures; (iv) a violation of Section 12 hereof; (v) notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, violation of the Company's anti-harassment/discrimination/retaliation provisions; (vi) conviction or plea of nolo contendere to a felony; or (vii) the circumstances set forth in Sections 8 and 10 hereof.
16. Termination by Non-Renewal of this Agreement.  The Company may elect not to renew this Agreement, pursuant to Section 2 hereof. In the event the Company terminates Employee's employment due to Non-Renewal, Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation or monies from the Company after the Termination Date other than:

(b) In the event Employee resigns, the effective date of the resignation shall be considered the Termination Date, and Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder or otherwise from the Company after the Termination Date other than those items set forth in Section 18(a)(i), (iii); (v) and (vii).
(c) If the circumstances of Employee's termination would entitle him as a matter of right (as opposed to a matter of discretion on the part of the Company) to a payment under any severance or similar plan of the Company and the amount of such severance payment would be greater than the payment of Base Salary provided by Section 18(a)(ii), then the amount of the payment under Section 18(a)(ii) will be increased accordingly.
19. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.  If the Employee's employment were to be terminated by the Company without Cause, or if the Employee were to terminate for Good Reason, in each case within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, as defined in the MVP REIT II, Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time), or any successor plan thereto), the Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder or otherwise from the Company after the Termination Date other than: (a) unpaid Base Salary earned through the Termination Date; (b) any vested PARK Shares; (c) all then-outstanding Company equity-based awards held by Employee, to the extent subject to time-based vesting, shall vest in full as of the Termination Date; (d) an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months' Base Salary and Target Annual Incentive, to be paid in accordance with the Company's scheduled payroll practices; (e) incurred but unpaid business expense reimbursement pursuant to Section 7 hereof; (f) subject to Employee's valid election to continue healthcare coverage under Section 4980B of the Code, for the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date, the Company shall continue to provide, at the Company's sole expense (whether through direct payment to the plan, reimbursement of COBRA premiums or otherwise in the Company's discretion), Employee and Employee's eligible dependents with coverage under its group health plans at the same levels as would have applied if Employee's employment had not been terminated, based on Employee's elections in effect on the Termination Date; provided, however, that (A) if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (B) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Employee under its group health plans without incurring penalties (including without limitation, pursuant to Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), then, in either case, an amount equal to each remaining Company  premium payment shall thereafter be paid to Employee in substantially equal monthly installments over the continuation coverage period (or the remaining portion thereof); and (g) any benefits provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable thereto.  It shall be a condition to Employee's right to receive the amounts and benefits provided for in (c), (d) and (f) in the preceding sentence that Employee execute and deliver to the Company an effective Release within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) days) following the Termination Date and that Employee not revoke such Release during any applicable revocation period.
20. Six-Month Delay.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation, any severance payments or benefits payable under Sections 14 through 19 hereof, shall be paid to Employee during the six-month period following Employee's separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of such separation from service (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Employee's death), the Company shall pay Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Employee during such period.

21. Excess Parachute Payments; Limitation on Payments; Best Pay Cap.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Employee (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of the Employee's employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits under Sections 14 through 19 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments under this Agreement shall first be reduced, and the noncash severance payments hereunder shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments).
22. Cooperation Following Termination. Following termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason, Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company upon its request and to be reasonably available to the Company with respect to matters arising out of Employee's services to the Company.  The Company shall reimburse, or at Employee's request advance, Employee for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such matters.
23. Neutral InterpretationTHIS AGREEMENT IS THE PRODUCT OF EXTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  EACH OF THE PARTIES WAS REPRESENTED BY OR HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL WHO EITHER PARTICIPATED IN THE FORMULATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF, OR WAS AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE COMMENTS ON, THIS AGREEMENT.  ACCORDINGLY, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN IT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED OR INTERPRETED FOR OR AGAINST ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT BECAUSE THAT PARTY DRAFTED OR CAUSED THAT PARTY'S LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE TO DRAFT ANY OF ITS PROVISIONS.
24. Severability.  To the extent not governed by the provisions of Section 13, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under, or would require the commission of any act contrary to, existing or future laws, such provisions shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.  Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
25. Survival.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent applicable, Sections 12, 13, 21 and 35 hereof, and any other section by which its intent should survive, shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

I acknowledge that The Parking REIT, Inc. ("TPR") utilizes a system of alternative dispute resolution that involves binding arbitration to resolve all disputes that may arise out of the employment context.  Because of the mutual benefits which private binding arbitration can provide both TPR and myself, both TPR and I agree that except for claims that TPR or I have against each other seeking injunctive or similar relief, and except as further provided below, any claim, dispute, and/or controversy (including, but not limited to, any claims of discrimination, harassment and retaliation, whether they be based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, or other local, state or federal laws or regulations) that either I or TPR (or its owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, and parties affiliated with its employee benefit and health plans) may have against the other which would otherwise require or allow resort to any court or other governmental dispute resolution forum arising from, related to, or having any relationship or connection whatsoever with my seeking employment with, employment by, or other association with TPR, whether based on tort, contract, statutory, or equitable law, or otherwise, (with the sole exception of claims arising under the National Labor Relations Act which are brought before the National Labor Relations Board, claims for medical and disability benefits under Workers' Compensation, and Unemployment Compensation claims filed with the state) shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, in conformity with the procedures of the Uniform Arbitration Act (as currently adopted in Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 38.206 et seq.)  However, nothing herein shall preclude me from filing an administrative claim with an administrative agency such as the EEOC or Department of Labor, but I agree any subsequent legal action that I bring on such a claim must be resolved by arbitration.  This mutual agreement to arbitrate claims cannot be changed by either TPR or myself except in a written document executed by TPR and me.

Any arbitration to be conducted under this agreement shall be done through JAMS in Las Vegas, and to the extent they are not inconsistent with the procedures set forth below, the rules of JAMS shall apply.  In addition to any other requirements required by law, there shall be a single arbitrator who shall be a retired District Court judge (or the state trial court equivalent) and shall be subject to disqualification on the same grounds as would apply to such judges.    To the extent applicable in civil actions in United States District Courts, the following shall apply and be observed: all rules of pleading, discovery, and evidence (including the right to resolution of the dispute by means of motions for summary judgment and judgment on the pleadings).  Resolution of the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses pleaded, and the Arbitrator may not invoke any basis (including, but not limited to, notions of "just cause") other than such controlling law.  The Arbitrator shall have the immunity of a judicial officer from civil liability when acting in the capacity of an arbitrator, which immunity supplements any other existing immunity.  Likewise, all communications during or in connection with the arbitration proceedings are privileged.  Awards shall include the Arbitrator's written reasoned-opinion.  Should any term or provision, or portion thereof, be declared void or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remainder of this agreement shall be enforceable.  I UNDERSTAND THAT BY VOLUNTARILY AGREEING TO THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, BOTH TPR AND I GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM WE MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER.

MY SIGNATURE BELOW ATTESTS TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AFFIRMATIVELY AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND TO ALL OF THE ABOVE TERMS, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS THAT ANY DISPUTES I HAVE WITH TPR SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE).
