Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, member, partner, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

(C) After the Termination Date, the Sub-advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company, within 30 days after the effective date of such termination (1) all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Sub-advisor prior to the termination of this Agreement and (2) the Sub-advisor’s share of the Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination, if any; provided, that no Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination will be paid if the Company has paid or is obligated to pay the Subordinated Incentive Fee.

(D) 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.

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”).

28

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, or (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 greater 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, or (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.

30

15.2 Limitation on Indemnification.
