VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 20, 2011, by and among STAG INDUSTRIAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), STAG INDUSTRIAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), GI STAG INVESTCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GISI”) and the undersigned contributors (each a “Contributor” and collectively, the “Contributors”).

RECITALS

A.                                   WHEREAS, on April 4, 2011, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into several contribution agreements (the “Contribution Agreements”) with the Contributors, which provide for the contribution of various portfolios of primarily single-tenant real estate assets (the “Contributions”) in connection with a proposed initial public offering (the “Public Offering” and together with the Contributions, the “Formation Transactions”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

B.                                     WHEREAS, each Contributor is the record owner or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of, and has the right to direct the voting or disposition of, the number of shares of Common Stock, or common units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (such shares of common stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon redemption of the OP Units, the “Shares”); and

C.                                     WHEREAS, as an inducement for (i) GISI to enter into the limited liability company agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of STAG GI INVESTMENTS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“STAG GI”), and (ii) each of the Contributors to enter into such Contributor’s Contribution Agreement with the Company and the Operating Partnership, and as part of the conditions to the consummation of the Formation Transactions, the Company desires to agree to provide GISI the right to select up to two individuals to be nominated to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and each Contributor desires to agree to vote the Shares over which the Contributor has voting power as described below;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.                                       Initial Board of Directors.

(a)                                  If GISI, through its interest in STAG GI, receives beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 10% or more of the total OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership in the Contributions, then immediately following the Public Offering, the Board shall consist of seven directors, at least five of whom will be Independent Directors (as defined below), each of whom will serve a one-year term and two of whom shall have been selected by GISI.  Of the two directors to be selected by GISI, both must be Qualified Nominees (as defined below) and at least one must qualify as an Independent Director and qualify to serve as chairperson of at least one of the compensation, audit, nominating and investment committees of the Board and will be required to serve as chairperson

of one of the aforesaid committees; provided, however, the composition of the Board and each committee thereof shall satisfy all listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.  GISI agrees to notify the Company of its proposed appointments for the initial Board at least one week in advance of the expected filing of the first amendment to the registration statement for the Public Offering, together with any information regarding such appointees as the Company reasonably requests.

(b)                                 “Independent Director” means an individual who qualifies as an “independent director” under the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

(c)                                  “Qualified Nominee” means an individual (i) who is not a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or an affiliate of a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as reasonably determined by the Board, (ii) who does not have a material conflict of interest in serving as a member of the Board or would be unable to comply with the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics and corporate governance guidelines, as reasonably determined by the Board, (iii) with respect to whom none of the events described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor regulation), has occurred in the prior 10 years and (iv) whose nomination and recommendation by the Board, in the good faith determination of the Board, would not be inconsistent with the Board’s duties to the Company and its stockholders.  For purposes of this definition, a managing director or director of GI Partners shall not be deemed to be a competitor or an affiliate of a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to have a material conflict of interest in serving as a member of the Board by reason of such position or any ownership interest in GI Partners or its subsidiaries.

2.                                       Agreement to Nominate Directors.

(a)                                  If GISI, through its interest in STAG GI, receives beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 10% or more of the total OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership in the Contributions, then from the date hereof until the Expiration Date (defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company relating to the election of members of the Board, the Company shall cause two individuals selected by GISI (both of whom must be Qualified Nominees and at least one of whom must be an Independent Director and qualify to serve as chairperson of at least one of the compensation, audit, nominating and investment committees of the Board and will be required to serve as chairperson of one of the aforesaid committees) to be nominated for election to the Board; provided, however, the composition of the Board and each committee thereof shall satisfy all listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

(b)                                 If at any time while the Company’s obligations under this Section 2 are in effect, the Board shall be classified with the result that directors serve for terms of greater than one year, the Company shall not be required to make any nominations otherwise required under this Section 2, except at an annual meeting at which the term of an individual nominated pursuant to this Section 2 and elected to the Board in connection with such nomination (a “GI Director”), is scheduled to expire; provided that if the Board shall be classified, the GI Directors shall be placed in different classes.

2

(c)                                  This Agreement shall not, and shall not be construed to, grant any other rights with regard to the nomination of directors other than the limited rights set forth in this Section 2.

3.                                       Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a)                                  From the date hereof until the Expiration Date, at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company relating to the election of members of the Board, each of GISI and the Contributors (in the capacity as a stockholder) shall appear at the meeting or otherwise cause the Shares, if any, to be present for purposes of establishing a quorum and shall vote the Shares, if any,  in favor of the election of the nominee or nominees, as applicable, for the Board selected by GISI pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement.

(b)                                 If GISI or a Contributor is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of the Shares, GISI or such Contributor, as applicable, agrees to take all reasonable actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to vote all of the Shares, if any, in the manner provided in Section 3(a).

(c)                                  This Agreement shall not, and shall not be construed to, grant any other rights with regard to the voting of the Shares, if any, other than the limited rights set forth in this Section 3. None of GISI and the Contributors shall have any right to influence in any manner the voting of the Shares, if any, on any other matters that may come before the stockholders of the Company.

(d)                                 This Agreement shall not, and shall not be construed to, restrict the ability of GISI or any Contributor to sell or dispose of any Shares or other securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in the open market or otherwise.

4.                                       Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. None of GISI and the Contributors makes any agreement or understanding herein as director or officer of the Company or as a fiduciary of, or participant in, any compensation plan of the Company. Each of GISI and the Contributors has entered into this Agreement solely in an individual capacity as a record holder and/or beneficial owner of Shares and OP Units, and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken in a capacity as an officer or director of the Company or as a fiduciary of, or participant in, any compensation plan of the Company.
