(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Investment that does not fit within the Investment Guidelines will require the prior approval of the Board or any duly authorized committee of the Board, as the case may be. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the Investment Guidelines or in the Charter, any Investment that fits within the Investment Guidelines may be made by the Adviser on the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s behalf without the prior approval of the Board or any duly authorized committee of the Board.

(c) The prior approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction will be required for each transaction to which the Adviser or its Affiliates is a party.

(d) The Board will review the Investment Guidelines with sufficient frequency and at least annually and may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the Adviser, amend the Investment Guidelines; provided, however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Adviser or such later date as is specified by the Board and included in the notice provided to the Adviser and such modification or revocation shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Adviser has committed the Company or the Operating Partnership prior to the date of receipt by the Adviser of such notification, or if later, the effective date of such modification or revocation specified by the Board.

(e) The Adviser may retain, for and on behalf, and at the sole cost and expense, of the Company, such services as the Adviser deems necessary or advisable in connection with the management and operations of the Company, which may include Affiliates of the Adviser; provided, that any such services may only be provided by Affiliates to the extent such services are approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transactions as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those available from non-Affiliated third parties. In performing its duties under Section 3, the Adviser shall be entitled to rely reasonably on qualified experts and professionals (including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other professional service providers) hired by the Adviser at the Company’s sole cost and expense.

5. BANK ACCOUNTS.

7. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. The Adviser shall refrain from any action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, (i) is not in compliance with the Investment Guidelines, (ii) would adversely and materially affect the qualification of the Company as a REIT under the Code or the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s status as entities excluded from investment company status under the Investment Company Act, or (iii) would materially violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company and the Operating Partnership or of any exchange on which the securities of the Company may be listed or that would otherwise not be permitted by the Charter, Bylaws or Operating Partnership Agreement. If the Adviser is ordered to take any action by the Board, the Adviser shall seek to notify the Board if it is the Adviser’s reasonable judgment that such action would adversely and materially affect such status or violate any such law, rule or regulation or the Charter, Bylaws or Operating Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Adviser nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Board, or the Stockholders for any act or omission by the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 20 of this Agreement.

8. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISER.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) prevent the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any other Person or entity, whether or not the investment objectives or policies of any such other Person or entity are similar to those of the Company, including, without limitation, the sponsoring, closing and/or managing of any Other Blackstone Accounts, (ii) in any way bind or restrict the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities or commodities for their own accounts or for the account of others for whom the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees may be acting, or (iii) prevent the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from receiving fees or other compensation or profits (whether in cash or in-kind) from such activities described in this Section 8(a) which shall be for the sole benefit of the Adviser (and/or its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees). While information and recommendations supplied to the Company shall, in the Adviser’s reasonable and good faith judgment, be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the investment objectives and policies of the Company, such information and recommendations may be different in certain material respects from the information and recommendations supplied by the Adviser or any Affiliate of the Adviser to others (including, for greater certainty, the Other Blackstone Accounts and their investors, as described more fully in Section 8(b)).

(b) The Adviser and the Company acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Affiliates of the Adviser sponsor, advise and/or manage Other Blackstone Accounts and may in the future sponsor, advise and/or manage additional Other Blackstone Accounts (including Select Opportunistic Blackstone Accounts), (ii) with respect to Other Blackstone Accounts with investment objectives or guidelines that overlap with the Company’s but that do not have priority over the Company, the Adviser and its Affiliates will allocate investment opportunities between the Company and such Other Blackstone Accounts in accordance with Blackstone’s prevailing policies and procedures on a basis that the Adviser and its Affiliates determine to be reasonable in their sole discretion, and there may be circumstances where investments that are consistent with the Company’s Investment Guidelines may be shared with or allocated to one or more Other Blackstone Accounts (in lieu of the Company) in accordance with Blackstone’s prevailing policies and procedures and (iii) Select Opportunistic Blackstone Accounts will receive priority over the Company with respect to investments within such accounts’ investment objectives and guidelines and the Adviser will not allocate investment opportunities to the Company unless the investment advisers of the Select Opportunistic Blackstone Accounts forgo, in their sole discretion, all or a portion of such investments because of such accounts’ investment objectives, guidelines, concentration limitations or otherwise.

(c) In connection with the services of the Adviser hereunder, the Company and the Board acknowledge and/or agree that (i) as part of Blackstone’s regular businesses, personnel of the Adviser and its Affiliates may from time-to-time work on other projects and matters (including with respect to one or more Other Blackstone Accounts), and that conflicts may arise with respect to the allocation of personnel between the Company and one or more Other Blackstone Accounts and/or the Adviser and such other Affiliates, (ii) unless prohibited by the Charter, Other Blackstone Accounts may invest, from time to time, in investments in which the Company also invests (including at a different level of an issuer’s capital structure (e.g., an investment by an Other Blackstone Account in a debt or mezzanine interest with respect to the same portfolio entity in which the Company owns an equity interest or vice versa) or in a different tranche of equity or debt with respect to an issuer in which the Company has an interest) and while Blackstone will seek to resolve any such conflicts in a fair and reasonable manner (subject to any priorities of the Select Opportunistic Blackstone Accounts) in accordance with its prevailing policies and procedures with respect to conflicts resolution among Other Blackstone Accounts generally, such transactions are not required to be presented to the Board or any committee thereof for approval (unless otherwise required by the Charter or Investment Guidelines), and there can be no assurance that any conflicts will be resolved in the Company’s favor, (iii) the Company will from time to time pay fees to the Adviser and its Affiliates, including portfolio entities of Other Blackstone Accounts, for providing various services described in the Prospectus (collectively, “Services”), which fees will be in addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 10 hereof, (iv) the Adviser and its Affiliates will from time to time receive fees from portfolio entities or other issuers for providing Services, including with respect to Other Blackstone Accounts and related portfolio entities, and while such fees will give rise to conflicts of interest the Company will not receive the benefit of any such fees, and (v) the terms and conditions of the governing agreements of such Other Blackstone Accounts (including with respect to the economic, reporting, and other rights afforded to investors in such Other Blackstone Accounts) are materially different from the terms and conditions applicable to the Company and the Stockholders, and neither the Company nor the Stockholders (in such capacity) shall have the right to receive the benefit of any such different terms applicable to investors in such Other Blackstone Accounts as a result of an investment in the Company or otherwise. The Adviser shall keep the Board reasonably informed on a periodic basis in connection with the foregoing.

(d) The Adviser is not permitted to consummate on the Company’s behalf any transaction that involves (i) the sale of any investment to or (ii) the acquisition of any investment from Blackstone, any Other Blackstone Account or any of their Affiliates unless such transaction is approved by a majority of the Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company. In addition, for any such acquisition by the Company, the Company’s purchase price will be limited to the cost of the property to the Affiliate, including acquisition-related expenses, or if substantial justification exists, the current appraised value of the property as determined by an Independent Appraiser. In addition, the Company may enter into Joint Ventures with Other Blackstone Accounts, or with Blackstone, the Adviser, one or more Directors, or any of their

respective Affiliates, only if a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on substantially the same, or no less favorable, terms and conditions as those received by other Affiliate joint venture partners. The Adviser will seek to resolve any conflicts of interest in a fair and reasonable manner (subject to any priorities of the Select Blackstone Accounts) in accordance with its prevailing policies and procedures with respect to conflicts resolution among Other Blackstone Accounts generally, but only those transactions set forth in this Section 8(d) will be expressly required to be presented for approval to the Independent Directors or any committee thereof (unless otherwise required by the Charter or the Investment Guidelines).

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that neither the Company nor the Board has the authority to determine the salary, bonus or any other compensation paid by the Adviser to any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of the Adviser or its Affiliates, including any person who is also a director or officer employee of the Company.

9. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, directors, managers, officers and employees of the Adviser or an Affiliate of the Adviser or any corporate parent of an Affiliate, may serve as a Director or officer of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the Adviser or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer other than (a) reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or (b) as otherwise approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, and no such Director shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying the Director independence requirement set forth in the Charter.

10. MANAGEMENT FEE.

(a) The Company will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “Company Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% of NAV for the Class T Common Shares, Class S Common Shares, Class D Common Shares, Class I Common Shares and Class C Common Shares per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, the Stockholder Servicing Fee, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) or any Distributions. The Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “OP Management Fee” and, together with the Company Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% of the NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class T, Class S, Class D, Class I, Class C and Class B Operating Partnership units held by unitholders other than the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Management Fee shall be paid on Class F Common Shares or Class F units of the Operating Partnership. The Adviser shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder.

(b) The Company Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Adviser Management Fee Securities or any combination thereof. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Adviser Management Fee Units or any combination thereof. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of its Management Fee in Adviser Management Fee Securities (including any Shares or Operating Partnership units received in exchange for any Adviser Management Fee Securities), the Adviser or any subsequent transferee thereof may elect to have the Company or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Adviser Management Fee Securities (including any Shares or Operating Partnership units received in exchange for any Adviser Management Fee Securities) from the Adviser or such transferee at a later date. Such Adviser Management Fee Securities (including any Shares or Operating Partnership units received in exchange for any Adviser Management Fee Securities) obtained by the Adviser or any subsequent transferee will not be subject to the repurchase limits of the Company’s share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. The Operating Partnership will repurchase any such Operating Partnership units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law or the Charter, in which case such Operating Partnership units will be repurchased for the Company’s equivalent class of common stock with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Adviser Management Fee Securities for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of Adviser Management Fee Securities of another class of shares/Operating Partnership units, other than Class I Common Shares and Class I units of the Operating Partnership, and will have registration rights with respect to Shares (including any Shares received in exchange for any Adviser Management Fee Securities).

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Adviser will be entitled to receive its prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

(d) In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its Investments during any calendar year, the Company and the Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser the Management Fee from the proceeds of the liquidation.

11. EXPENSES.

(a) As required by the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the cumulative Selling Commissions, Stockholder Servicing Fees and Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Company in connection with a public Offering will not exceed 15.0% of Gross Proceeds from the sale of Shares in such public Offering.

(b) Subject to Sections 4(e) and 11(c), the Adviser shall be responsible for the expenses related to any and all personnel of the Adviser who provide investment advisory services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, each of the officers of the Company and any Directors who are also directors, officers or employees of the Adviser or any of its Affiliates), including, without limitation, salaries, bonus and other wages, payroll taxes and the cost of employee benefit plans of such personnel, and costs of insurance with respect to such personnel (“Adviser Expenses”).

Cost and expense reimbursement to the Adviser shall be subject to adjustment at the end of each calendar year in connection with the annual audit of the Company.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Adviser paid for all Organization and Offering Expenses (other than Selling Commissions and Stockholder Servicing Fees) incurred prior to the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. All such Organization and Offering Expenses (other than Selling Commissions and Stockholder Servicing Fees) paid by the Adviser shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Adviser in 60 equal monthly installments, which the parties hereto acknowledge commenced with the first anniversary of the Commencement Date.

12. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Adviser or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating Partnership other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Adviser and the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Charter, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

13. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISER. Commencing upon the earlier to occur of four fiscal quarters after (i) the Corporation’s acquisition of its first asset or (ii) six months after the Commencement Date, the Company shall not reimburse the Adviser at the end of any fiscal quarter for Total Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2.0% of Average Invested Assets or 25.0% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such four fiscal quarters unless the Independent Directors determine that such Excess Amount was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such Excess Amount as being so justified, the Adviser shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the Total Operating Expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines. If the Independent Directors determine such Excess Amount was justified, then, within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Adviser, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose

such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess 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 GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

14. NO JOINT VENTURE. The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Adviser on the other, are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

15. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the Effective Date, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Board to evaluate the performance of the Adviser annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.

16. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) at the option of the Adviser immediately upon a Change of Control of the Company or Operating Partnership; (ii) immediately by the Company or the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Adviser; or (iii) upon 60 days’ written notice without Cause or penalty by a majority vote of the Independent Directors; or (iv) upon 60 days’ written notice by the Adviser. The provisions of Sections 18 through 22 survive termination of this Agreement.

17. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Adviser to an Affiliate of the Adviser with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Adviser may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the consent of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the approval of the Adviser, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company resulting from a Change in Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and shall likewise be binding on any successor to the Adviser.

18. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISER UPON TERMINATION.

(a) After the Termination Date, the Adviser shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Adviser prior to termination of this Agreement, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

(b) The Adviser shall promptly upon termination:

(i) pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

(ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

(iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Adviser; and

(iv) cooperate with, and take all reasonable actions requested by, the Company and Board in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

19. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the fullest extent possible without such indemnification being inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland, the Charter or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines.

20. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISER. The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that (i) such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (ii) are incurred by reason of the Adviser’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Adviser shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Adviser.

21. NON-SOLICITATION. In the event of a termination without Cause of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 16(iii) hereof, for two (2) years after the Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the consent of the Adviser, employ or otherwise retain any employee of the Adviser or any of its Affiliates or any person who has been employed by the Adviser or any of its Affiliates at any time within the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date on which such person commences employment with or is otherwise retained by the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, the Adviser may be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of this Section 21 by the Company, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

22. MISCELLANEOUS.
