SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made this 21st day of December 2017, by and between PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, a Pennsylvania business trust (“PREIT” or the “Company”), and BRUCE GOLDMAN (“Executive”). PREIT and Executive shall be referred to herein as the “Parties” or each separately as a “Party.”
WHEREAS, Executive is employed as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer of PREIT pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between PREIT and Executive, effective as of December 30, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to terminate Executive’s employment;
WHEREAS, the Parties confirm that Sections 4.1-4.7 of Executive’s Employment Agreement are not applicable and the provisions herein shall control; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions related to the termination of their employment relationship.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.
General Terms of Termination. Regardless of whether Executive signs this Agreement:
a)Executive’s last day of employment will be January 9, 2018 (the “Separation Date”). Effective on the Separation Date, Executive hereby resigns from his position as General Counsel and all other positions with the Company, PREIT ASSOCIATES, LP., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“Associates”), PREIT SERVICES, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Services”), PREIT-RUBIN, INC. (“PREIT-RUBIN”), and/or any of their direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries, related or affiliated companies (“Affiliates”), or with any other entity with respect to which Company has requested Executive to perform services. Upon request by Company, Executive shall execute all additional documents and take all additional actions necessary to effectuate or memorialize such resignations. The Parties agree that, on the Separation Date, Executive shall experience a separation from service as such term is described in the Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations thereunder.
b)Executive will be paid for all time worked up to and including Executive’s last day of employment.
c)The Company will make a contribution of $25,000 on January 1, 2018 to Executive’s supplemental retirement plan account (“SRPA”), pursuant to Section 3.7 of Executive’s Employment Agreement.



Exhibit 10.49


d)The Company will pay to Executive all amounts credited to Executive’s SRPA pursuant to Section 3.7 of Executive’s Employment Agreement and the Parties’ Nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009) subject to any restrictions on payment pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder;
e)Executive’s eligibility to participate in Company sponsored health, vision, and dental insurance as an employee of the Company will end effective January 31, 2018. However, Executive will be eligible to continue to participate in this insurance in accordance with a federal law called the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), subject to COBRA’s terms, conditions and restrictions. However, if Executive signs this Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with certain other health insurance benefits and will pay Executive’s COBRA costs, as described below in Paragraphs 2(a) - (c).
f)Executive’s eligibility to participate in the Company’s other group insurance programs (for example, life, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment coverage) will end effective on the Separation Date.
g)Executive’s eligibility to participate in the Company-sponsored 401(k) plan will end effective on the Separation Date.
h)Executive is required to comply with Paragraphs 6 and 7 below.
2.
If Executive Signs the Agreement. If Executive signs this Agreement:
a)The Company will pay Executive a bonus for 2017 (the “2017 Bonus”), pursuant to Section 3.2 and Schedule 3.2 of Executive’s Employment Agreement. The 2017 Bonus is payable to Executive in the ordinary course (i.e., after the Company has filed its 10-K and the Company’s Compensation Committee has agreed to the final amounts due to Executive), but in any case, the 2017 Bonus will be paid to Executive no later than March 15, 2018. Executive agrees that he would not be entitled to the 2017 Bonus, but for his agreement to and execution of this Agreement, given that he will not be employed by Company on the date the 2017 Bonus will be paid to Executive.
b)For a period of six (6) months following the Separation Date, Executive (and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable) will be entitled to continue to participate in the Company’s group medical, vision, and dental plans at the Company’s expense. If Executive timely and properly elects to continue Executive’s group health and dental benefits following the continuation period set forth under COBRA, the Company will pay on Executive’s behalf the monthly COBRA premium for a period of 18 months (the “Continuation Period”), provided that in the event the Company is unable to make such payments for any reason, the Company will make such monthly payments directly to Executive and Executive will be responsible for making such payments as necessary to maintain Executive’s COBRA continuation coverage.  If required in order to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, such payments will be treated as taxable income to Executive and Executive will receive an additional amount for any tax obligations Executive incurs as a result of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s payment of the monthly COBRA premium will cease immediately if the Company determines in its discretion that such payment would result in the Company being in violation of, or incurring any fine, penalty, or excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or guidance issued thereunder), in which case the Company will make a monthly payment to Executive during the remainder of such COBRA Continuation Period of the amount(s) that it would have otherwise paid on Executive’s behalf under such plans, plus an additional amount to pay for the taxes Executive incurs on such payments. Following the Continuation Period, Executive’s continued participation in the Company’s group health, vision,



Exhibit 10.49

and dental coverage pursuant to COBRA or otherwise, as applicable, shall be at Executive’s sole expense.
c)In the event Company’s provision of post-separation medical benefit coverage (and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable) would cause Company or Executive to experience adverse tax consequences, Company, at either Party’s option, but after first seeking a negotiated resolution, may provide Executive with the after-tax economic equivalent of such benefit for any designated period (the “Medical Benefit Equivalent”). The economic equivalent of any benefit forgone shall be deemed to be the cost that would be incurred by Executive in obtaining competitively-priced coverage from a reputable insurance provider equivalent to the coverage that otherwise would be provided to Executive and his spouse, as applicable, by Company under this Agreement.
d)The Parties agree and confirm that, as of the date of this Agreement, Executive owns 25,988 shares of beneficial interest in PREIT, previously granted by PREIT as restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”).  All such Restricted Shares held by Executive shall immediately vest upon the full execution of this Agreement.
e)The Parties agree and confirm that, as of the date of this Agreement, Executive has been issued [awarded] an aggregate of 40,961 unvested Restricted Share Units in PREIT (the “RSU’s), subject to the provisions of the applicable Restricted Share Unit Programs (the “RSU Programs”) for each of the three year periods ending December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019.  Upon the full execution of this Agreement, Executive’s participation in each of the RSU Programs shall terminate and all such unvested RSU’s shall be forfeited.
f)Executive will be granted ownership of his Company-issued IPhone and IPad, subject to Executive’s compliance with arrangements to remove all information belonging to the Company, Associates, Services, PREIT-RUBIN, and the Affiliates, in the ordinary course.
3.Employment Agreement. The Parties confirm that Sections 4.1-4.7 of Executive’s Employment Agreement are not applicable and the provisions herein shall control; however, the Parties confirm that Executive’s Employment Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and Executive agrees that he will continue to be bound by such terms after his termination to the extent that such terms are not inconsistent with this Agreement.
4.Release and Waiver of Claims. Attached hereto, as Exhibit A, is a copy of the Release and Waiver of Claims that Executive is required to sign on or about the Separation Date and which Executive agrees he will sign in exchange for payment of one year of severance that is equal to $391,000 less the amount of all lawful deductions, including applicable local, state, FICA and Federal income taxes, payable on January 2, 2019.

5.References. Executive agrees that Executive will direct any and all prospective employers seeking a reference to contact only persons employed in the Company’s Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department shall provide a neutral reference only, stating dates of employment and position held. However, if Executive supplies the potential employer with Executive’s base salary at the time of termination, the Company will confirm or deny the accuracy of the statement which Executive provides to them.
6.Prohibition on Executive Using or Disclosing Certain Information.
