(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Consultant may cause any services that would ordinarily be performed by a third party (including the services listed in Section 4(a))to be rendered by the personnel of the Consultant or its Affiliates. In such circumstances (subject as specified above and to Section 16 below) upon request by the Consultant, the Advisor shall instruct the Company to directly pay or reimburse the Consultant for the cost of such services (and the Advisor shall have no obligation therefor); provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be payable to outside professionals or consultants engaged to perform such services pursuant to agreements negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

(e) In performing its duties under this Section 4, the Consultant and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely reasonably on qualified experts and professionals (including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other service providers) hired by the Consultant or its Affiliates at its expense or, if such expenses are within the then applicable expense budget of the Company or are

otherwise reimbursable to the Manager, the Advisor or the Consultant pursuant to the Management Agreement, at the Company’s sole cost and expense.

5. Compensation of the Consultant.

(a) For the services to be rendered, the Advisor shall pay to the Consultant each quarter a consulting fee computed in accordance with the terms of Schedule A attached hereto (the “Consultant Fee”), with such Consultant Fee (which may include the common stock of the Company and the cash/stock ratio of which shall be the same for the Advisor Fee, the Sub-Advisory Fee and the Consultant Fee paid respectively to the Advisor, the Sub-Advisors and the Consultant) to be paid on the relevant Fee Payment Date (as defined in Schedule A hereto). The transfer by the Advisor (or the Manager on its behalf) to the Consultant of any of the Company’s common stock as part of the Consultant Fee shall be on the same basis as described with respect to the Incentive Fee to be paid to the Manager pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Management Agreement and shall, at all times, be subject to the following: (1) the ownership of such shares by the Consultant does not violate the limit on ownership of the Company’s common stock set forth in the Company’s Governing Instruments, after giving effect to any waiver from such limit that the Board of Directors may grant to the Consultant in the future, (2) the transfer of such shares by the Advisor (or the Manager acting on its behalf) to the Consultant complies with all applicable restrictions under U.S. federal securities laws and the rules of the NYSE, and (3) the Consultant shall have substantially the same registration rights and obligations with respect to such shares as shall be provided to the Manager pursuant to the agreement referred to in Section 9(b)(i)(3) of the Management Agreement. If the Consultant serves for less than the whole of any period specified, its compensation shall be prorated accordingly. In addition, if, at any time the Manager receives payment of the Termination Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement), the Advisor shall pay to the Consultant the “Consultant Termination Fee” computed in accordance with the terms of Schedule A attached hereto.

(b) Each party hereto agrees that all amounts payable to the Consultant by the Advisor or the Manager pursuant to this Agreement or the Management Agreement, respectively, during the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Consultant Fee, any Consultant Termination Fee or any reimbursement of eligible expenses to the Consultant hereunder, shall, until prior written notice is provided to the contrary by the Consultant to the other parties hereto, be paid instead by the Manager (acting at all times in accordance with the Manager LLC Agreement, including the obtaining of any required approvals or consents pursuant thereto) directly to the Consultant and such outstanding amounts owing to the Consultant by the Manager or the Advisor during the term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be satisfied upon such payment by the Manager to the Consultant and, likewise, any of the foregoing amounts or payments made by the Manager on behalf of the Advisor hereunder shall reduce and be a credit against any corresponding fees or expenses (as the case may be) payable to the Advisor by the Manager under the Advisory Agreement.

(c) In the event that a Bankruptcy of the Advisor occurs, to the extent that any compensation or amounts relating to reimbursements of eligible expenses to the Consultant that would have been payable by the Advisor to the Consultant remains unpaid, or the Advisor cannot pay such compensation or amounts to the Consultant as a result of such Bankruptcy, the Manager rather than the Advisor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be obligated to make such payments to the Consultant.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company is providing an indemnity to any Consultant Indemnified Party with respect to the same claim as any Consultant Indemnified Party may claim indemnification for under Sections 8(b) or 8(c), the Consultant Indemnified Party shall be required to first look for satisfaction of its claims under the indemnity provided by the Company and the provisions of Sections 8(b) or 8(c) shall not apply with respect to such claim, but only to the extent that such other indemnity covers such claim and only up to the amount the Consultant Indemnified Party recovers thereunder.

(e) The Consultant shall, to the fullest extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold the Advisor, its officers, stockholders, members, managers, partners, directors, personnel and any Person controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Advisor and any Affiliates of the foregoing (including the Advisor’s Voting Member on the Investment Committee) and any Person who was any of the foregoing at any time during the term of this Agreement, (each, an “Advisor Indemnified Party”), harmless of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees) in respect of or arising from acts of the Consultant constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company is providing an indemnity to any Advisor Indemnified Party or Manager Indemnified Party with respect to the same claim as any Advisor Indemnified Party or Manager Indemnified Party may claim indemnification for under Sections 8(e) or 8(f), as the case may be, the Advisor Indemnified Party or the Manager Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall be required to first look for satisfaction of their claims under the indemnity provided by such other party and the provisions of Sections 8(e) or 8(f), as the case may be, shall not apply with respect to such claim, but only to the extent that such other indemnity covers such claim and only up to the amounts the Advisor Indemnified Party or the Manager Indemnified Party, as the case may be, recovers thereunder.

The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee of its election to assume such defense and settlement within 30 days after the Indemnitee gives the Indemnitor notice of the claim. In such case, the Indemnitee will not settle or compromise such claim, and the Indemnitor will not be liable for any such settlement made without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor is entitled to, and does, assume such defense by delivering the aforementioned notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will (i) have the right to approve the Indemnitor’s counsel (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) be obligated to cooperate in furnishing evidence and testimony and in any other manner in which the Indemnitor may reasonably request and (iii) be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnitee is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding and does not include any statement of admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.

(i) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

	(i)		the Consultant sells or otherwise disposes of all of its equity interest in the Manager (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Manager LLC Agreement), unless such sale or other disposition is to an Affiliate of the Consultant and is made in accordance with the Manager LLC Agreement;

then the Advisor shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consent to such action required by Section 3.3 of the Manager LLC Agreement, by 30 business days’ notice to the Consultant with a copy to the Manager, to terminate this Agreement (and the Consultant’s role as such), whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in the Manager LLC Agreement, in the event of a sale of the Consultant’s equity interest in the Manager pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Manager LLC Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the Initial Payment Date (as defined in the Manager LLC Agreement).
