In the case of a development/redevelopment project subject to clause (2) above, upon completion of the development/redevelopment project, the Advisor shall determine the actual amounts paid. To the extent the amounts actually paid vary from the budgeted amounts on which the Acquisition Fee was initially based, the Advisor will pay or invoice the Company for 2.0% of the budget variance such that the Acquisition Fee is ultimately 2.0% of amounts expended on such development/redevelopment project. Any portion of the Acquisition Fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent period upon the mutual agreement of the parties hereto.

(c) Subordinated Performance Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor a Subordinated Performance Fee in connection with any one of the following events:

(1) Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to a Subordinated Performance Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount by which (i) the Market Value of the Company’s outstanding Shares plus distributions paid by the Company prior to Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 6.0% Return from inception through the date that Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a non-interest bearing promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Company pays such fee with a non-interest bearing promissory note, payment in full shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of the first Sale completed by the Company after Listing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after Listing are insufficient to pay the promissory note in full, then the promissory note shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sale until the amount owing pursuant to such promissory note is paid in full. If the promissory note has not been paid in full within five years from the date of Listing, then the Advisor, or its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the unpaid balance into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election. If the Shares are no longer Listed at such time as the promissory note becomes convertible into Shares as provided by this paragraph, then the price per Share, for purposes of conversion, shall equal the fair market value for the Shares as determined by the Board based upon the Appraised Value of the Assets as of the date of election.

-9-

(2) Upon a Sale of the Company or all of, or substantially all of, the Company’s Assets, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Performance Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of Net Sale Proceeds remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 6.0% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a non-interest bearing promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing.

(3) Upon termination of this Agreement, unless such termination is by the Company because of a material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor or occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive a payment of the Subordinated Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the Appraised Value of the Assets, including any applicable portfolio premium or discount, on the Termination Date, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Assets, plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 6.0% Return from inception through the Termination Date. The Company shall pay such Subordinated Performance Fee at such time as the Company completes the first Sale after the Termination Date. Payment shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a non-interest bearing promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after the Termination Date are insufficient to pay the Subordinated Performance Fee in full, then the Subordinated Performance Fee shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sale until the Subordinated Performance Fee is paid in full. If the Subordinated Performance Fee has not been paid in full within five years from the Termination Date, then the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election if the Shares are Listed at such time. If the Shares are not Listed at such time, the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee into Shares at a price per Share equal to the fair market value for the Shares as reasonably determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of the Subordinated Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the value of the Assets on the Termination Date as determined in good faith by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, based upon such factors as the consideration paid in connection with the Change of Control and the most recent Appraised Value of the Assets, including any applicable portfolio premium or discount, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Assets, plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 6.0% Return from inception through the Termination Date. No deferral of payment of the Subordinated Performance Fee may be made under this paragraph of this Section 3.01(c). In the event that the Advisor disagrees with the valuation of Shares pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) where the Shares are not Listed for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be issued to the Advisor following the Advisor’s election to convert the balance of the Subordinated Performance Fee owed to the Advisor, then the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by an Independent Expert of equity value selected by the Advisor.

(d) Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties (or the Company’s entire portfolio), the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a Disposition Fee equal to up to one-half of the real estate or brokerage commission paid to the Company by Persons not affiliated with the Advisor on the Sale of the Property, not to exceed 1% of the Contract Sales Price of each Property sold; provided, however, in no event may the total Disposition Fee paid to the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor, and any Persons not affiliated with the Advisor, exceed the lesser of (i) the Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price of a Property.

(e) Financing Coordination Fee. For services provided by the Advisor in connection with any Financing to acquire Property, the Company shall pay the Advisor a Financing Coordination Fee in the amount of 1% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such Financing; provided, however, (i) the Advisor shall not be entitled to such fee on any refinanced indebtedness or obligation where the Advisor previously received such a fee on the original indebtedness or obligation unless (1) the maturity date of the original indebtedness or obligation is scheduled to occur less than one year after the date of the refinanced indebtedness or obligation and the refinanced indebtedness or obligation has a term of at least five years or (2) the refinanced indebtedness or obligation is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors, and (ii) no such fee will be paid in connection with any loans advanced by an Affiliate of the Advisor. No Financing Coordination Fees will be paid on loan proceeds from any line of credit unless all net offering proceeds received as of the date proceeds from the line of credit are drawn for the purpose of acquiring properties or other permitted investments (other than reasonable working capital reserves) have been invested. In addition, with respect to any revolving line of credit, the Advisor shall receive Financing Coordination Fees only in connection with

-10-

amounts being drawn for the first time and not upon any re-drawing of amounts that previously had been repaid by the Company.

3.02 Expenses.

(a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor, as applicable, for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Assets in an amount estimated to be up to 0.5% of the Contract Purchase Price;

(iv) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

(v) taxes and assessments on income or property and taxes as an expense of doing business;

(vi) costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

(vii) expenses of managing and operating Assets owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company, including total compensation and personnel-related expenses, unless otherwise waived, in whole or in part, by the Affiliate in its sole discretion, of all on-site and off-site employees of the Affiliate who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing or access control of the Asset, or to a non-affiliated Person;

(viii) all expenses in connection with payments to the Board for attendance at meetings of the Board and Stockholders;

(ix) expenses associated with Listing or with the issuance and distribution of Shares and other securities of the Company, such as Selling Commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, and Listing and registration fees;

(xii) expenses of any third party transfer agent for the Shares and of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

(xiii) administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by Advisor in fulfilling its duties hereunder, including but not limited to, the total compensation and personnel-related expenses of all employees of Advisor or its Affiliates who are engaged in the management, administration, operations, and marketing of the Company and its Assets; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for compensation paid to (1) persons who are executive officers of the Company or (2) employees in connection with services for which the Advisor receives an Acquisition Fee, Financing Coordination Fee or Disposition Fee; and

(xiv) audit, accounting and legal fees, and other fees and expenses associated with regulatory compliance.

(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be reimbursed no less than quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

3.03 Other Services. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other than set forth in Section 2.02, or should the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provide a substantial

-11-

amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Assets that are not Properties, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Board, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in no event may the compensation agreed upon by the Advisor and the Board in connection with the Sale of one or more Assets that are not Properties, if any, exceed 1% of the total consideration provided for in the sales contract for the sale of each such Asset sold; and provided, further, that any such compensation must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.

3.04 Reimbursement to the Advisor. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor, at the end of any fiscal quarter, for any Operating Expenses to the extent that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) the Operating Expenses exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of (i) 2% of Average Invested Assets or (ii) 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for that period of four consecutive quarters unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Independent Directors determine such excess was justified, then within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed in the next quarterly report of the Company or in a separate writing and sent to the stockholders, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company shall, promptly, but in any case within 30 days (or such longer period of time as agreed to by the Advisor in its sole discretion), after receipt of a written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Xxxx” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Xxxx” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates.

The Advisor shall have discretion over the Company’s use of the name “Xxxx” and the Company’s use of the “Xxxx” name will be in strict accordance with any quality standards and specifications that may be established by Advisor and communicated to Company from time to time.
