(c) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts shall be paid in a manner determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the “Note”).
