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, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a Real Estate Commission up to the lesser of 1.5% of the Contract Sales Price and one-half of the brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is involved; provided, however, that no Real Estate Commissions shall be payable to the Advisor for the Sale of Properties if such Sale involves the Company selling all or substantially all of its Properties in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business combination transaction (as opposed to a Company liquidation, in which case the Real Estate Commissions would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). The Real Estate Commission may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all Persons by the Company (including the Real Estate Commission) shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price of a Property.

(d) Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 15.0% of Net Sales Proceeds remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. In no event will the Company pay a Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds, including any interest payable in connection with any promissory note issued by the Company in payment of the Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds, in excess of the amount that would be presumptively reasonable under Section 9.7 of the Articles of Incorporation.

(e) Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee. Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Listing 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’ 8.0% 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 promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Company pays such fee with a promissory note, payment in full shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of the first Sale completed by the Company after Listing, and interest will accrue at a rate deemed fair and reasonable by the Board from and after the date of Listing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after Listing are insufficient to pay the promissory note in full, including accrued interest, 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 Sales 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, including accrued but unpaid interest, 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.

(f) Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity.

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:

(i) Organization and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor to the extent that such reimbursements exceed 1.25% of the Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering. The Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of Organization and Offering Expenses in excess of 1.25% of the Gross Proceeds. In the event the Company does not raise the minimum amount of the Offering as set forth in the Prospectus, the Advisor shall not be reimbursed for any Organization and Offering Expenses;

(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, subject, however, to the aggregate six percent (6%) cap on Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses set forth in Section 3.01(b);

(iii) the actual cost of goods, services and materials used by the Company and obtained from Persons not affiliated with the Advisor, other than Acquisition Expenses, including brokerage fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of Shares;

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

(xi) expenses of organizing, reorganizing, liquidating or dissolving the Company or amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws;

(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. Such costs and expenses may include reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all employees of Advisor who are engage in the management, administration, operations, and marketing of the Company, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to their services provided hereunder; and

(xiv) audit, accounting and legal fees.

No reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such personnel perform services in connection with services for which the Advisor receives the Acquisition and Advisory Fee or the Real Estate Commission.

(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, 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.

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.

ARTICLE IV

TERM AND TERMINATION

4.01 Term; Renewal. Subject to Section 4.02 hereof, this Agreement has a one-year term and shall continue in force until the first anniversary of the date hereof. Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the Board’s Duty to evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.

4.02 Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate upon Listing. This Agreement also may be terminated at the option of either party (i) immediately upon a Change of Control or (ii) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty (in either case, if termination is by the Company, then such termination shall be upon the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement which provide for payment to the Advisor of expenses, fees or other compensation following the date of termination (i.e., Sections 3.01(e) and 4.03) shall continue in full force and effect until all amounts payable thereunder to the Advisor are paid in full. The provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 4.03 through 6.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.03 Payments to and Duties of Advisor upon Termination.

(a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to and receive from the Company within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof, and all contingent liabilities related to fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement, provided that the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(e).

(b) Upon termination, 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 Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the Appraised Value of the Assets 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 less any amounts distributable as of the termination date to limited partners of the Partnership who receive operating partnership units, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return from inception through the Termination Date. The Company shall pay such Performance Fee, with interest, at such time as the Company completes the first Sale after the Termination Date provided, however, the Advisor may elect to defer its right to receive the Performance Fee until either a Listing or other liquidity event for the Company. Payment shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale. Interest will accrue beginning on the Termination Date at a rate deemed fair and reasonable by the Board on the Termination Date. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a 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 Performance Fee in full, plus accrued interest, then the Performance Fee shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales until the Performance Fee is paid in full, with interest. If the 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, including accrued but unpaid interest, 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, including accrued but unpaid interest, into Shares at a price per Share equal to the fair market value for the Shares as determined by the Board based upon the Appraised Value of the Assets on the date of election.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of the 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, 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’ 8.0% Return from inception through the Termination Date. No deferral of payment of the Performance Fee may be made under this Section 4.03(c).

(d) In the event that the Advisor disagrees with the valuation of Shares pursuant to Section 4.03(b) 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 Performance Fee owed to the Advisor, then the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser of equity value selected by the Advisor.

(e) Notwithstanding sections 4.03 (b) and (c), in the event the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no Performance Fee will be paid to the Advisor.

(f) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

(i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company 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 the Assets, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses, liability or expenses 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 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; and (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.

(b) The Articles of Incorporation provide that the advancement of Company funds to the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third-party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; (iii) the advisor or its Affiliates provides the Company with a written affirmation of their good faith belief that they have met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; and (iv) the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, undertake to repay the advanced funds to the Company together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, are found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.01, the Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 5.02.

5.02 Indemnification by Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company 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 Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties. The Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.
