After the termination of the Sub-advisory Agreement, to the extent payments are not provided for by Section 13.3(C) (i.e., if the Sub-advisory Agreement is terminated independently of the Advisory Agreement), the Sub-advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company, within 30 days after the effective date of such termination, all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Sub-advisor prior to the termination of the Sub-advisory Agreement.

(E)

Promptly upon the termination of the Sub-advisory Agreement, the Sub-advisor shall promptly upon such termination:

(1)

pay over to the Company all money, if any, collected and held on behalf of the Company pursuant to the Sub-advisory Agreement after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

(2)

(3)

deliver to the Board all assets and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Sub-advisor; and

The Advisor and Sub-advisor may each elect to defer its respective right to receive the Subordinated Performance Fee due upon Termination (or its applicable portion thereof) until (x) a Listing, (y) a merger in which the Stockholders receive in exchange for their Shares shares of a company that are traded on a national securities exchange, or (z) any other liquidity event occurs, including a liquidation, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets (an “Other Liquidity Event”).

(G)

If either the Advisor or Sub-advisor or both elect to defer their right to receive a Subordinated Performance Fee due upon Termination (or its applicable portion thereof) and there is a Listing or a merger in which the Stockholders receive in exchange for their Shares shares of a company that are traded on a national securities exchange, then the Advisor and/or Sub-advisor (each to the extent entitled pursuant to the assignment of such right to payment between the Advisor and Sub-advisor) will be entitled to receive a Subordinated Performance Fee due upon Termination (or its applicable portion thereof) equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (1)(a) the Appraised Value of the Company’s Properties (determined by appraisal as of the date of Listing or merger, as applicable) owned as of the Termination Date, less amounts of all indebtedness secured by the Company’s Properties at the Termination Date, plus the fair market value

of all other Loans and Permitted Investments of the Company at the Termination Date, plus any assets acquired after Termination for which the Advisor or Sub-advisor would have been entitled to receive an Acquisition Fee (referred to herein as the “included assets”), less amounts of indebtedness related to such Loans and Permitted Investments or such included assets at the Termination Date, plus total Distributions (excluding any stock dividends and Distributions paid on Shares that have been redeemed by the Company) through the date of Listing or merger, as applicable, exceeds (b) the sum of Invested Capital as of the date of Listing or merger, as applicable, plus total Distributions required to be made to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from inception through the date of Listing or merger, as applicable, to the Stockholders as of the date of Listing or merger, as applicable, plus (2) deemed real estate commissions equal to 3% of the contract sales price that would have been paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates (assuming the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company at the Termination Date at a fair market value on such date) (provided that in no event may such deemed real estate commissions exceed the aggregate Competitive Real Estate Commission), less (3) any prior payment to the Advisor and/or Sub-advisor (as applicable) of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows.

(H)

If the Advisor or Sub-advisor or both elect to defer their right to receive a Subordinated Performance Fee due upon Termination (or its applicable portion thereof) and there is an Other Liquidity Event, then the Advisor and/or Sub-advisor (each to the extent entitled pursuant to the assignment of such right to payment between the Advisor and Sub-advisor) will be entitled to receive a Subordinated Performance Fee due upon Termination (or its applicable portion thereof) in an amount equal to the sum of (1) 15% of the amount, if any, by which (a) the net sales proceeds of the Company’s assets that were owned at the Termination Date, plus total Distributions (excluding any stock dividends and Distributions paid on Shares that have been redeemed by the Company) through the date of the Other Liquidity Event exceeds (b) the sum of Invested Capital as of the date of the Other Liquidity Event plus total Distributions required to be made to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from inception through the date of the Other Liquidity Event to the Stockholders as of the date of the Other Liquidity Event, plus (2) deemed real estate commissions equal to 3% of the contract sales price that would have been paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates (assuming the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company at the Termination Date at a fair market value on such date) (provided that in no event may such deemed real estate commissions exceed the aggregate Competitive Real Estate Commission), less (3) any prior payment to the Advisor and/or Sub-advisor (as applicable) of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or Sub-advisor or their Affiliates, as well as their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

15.2

Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their Affiliates or of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:
