(6)	from time to time, or at any time reasonably requested by the Directors, make reports to the Directors of its performance of services to the Company and the Operating Partnership under this Agreement, including reports with respect to potential conflicts of interest involving the Advisor or any of its affiliates; and


(7)	do all other things reasonably necessary to assure its ability to render the services described in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor may delegate any of the foregoing duties to any Person so long as the Advisor or any Affiliate remains responsible for the performance of the duties set forth in this Section 3.


4.	AUTHORITY OF ADVISOR.

(a)

Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including the restrictions included in this Section 4 and in Section 7), and subject to the continuing and exclusive authority of the Directors over the management of the Company, the Directors hereby delegate to the Advisor the authority to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and to execute and deliver any and all agreements, certificates, assignments, instruments or other documents and to do any and all things that, in the judgment of the Advisor, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the Advisor’s duties described in Section 3.


(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investment in Real Properties, including any acquisition of Real Property by the Company or the Operating Partnership (including any financing of such acquisition), will require the prior approval of the Board, any particular Directors specified by the Board or any committee of the Board, as the case may be.


(c)	If a transaction requires approval by the Independent Directors, the Advisor will deliver to the Independent Directors all documents and other information required by them to properly evaluate the proposed transaction.

The prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction and a majority of the Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction will be required for each transaction to which the Advisor or its Affiliates is a party. The

Directors may, at any time upon the giving of written notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4. If and to the extent the Directors so modify or revoke the authority contained herein, the Advisor shall henceforth submit to the Directors for prior approval such proposed transactions involving investments in Real Property, Real Estate Related Securities, or Debt Investments as thereafter require prior approval, provided however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.

BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company and the Operating Partnership and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company and/or the Operating Partnership, under such terms and conditions as the Directors may approve, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Directors and to the auditors of the Company.

RECORDS; ACCESS. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Directors and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Company, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Shares or its Securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Directors, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Directors of the Advisor's judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Directors. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Directors so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall hold harmless the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees and stockholders, and stockholders, directors and officers of the Advisor's Affiliates for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees, or stockholders, directors or officers of the Advisor's Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken in the performance of their duties under this Agreement to the extent permitted under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and under Section 18 hereof.

RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parents of an Affiliate, may serve as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the Advisor 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 reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Directors and no such Director shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying the Director independence requirement set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor and its Affiliates that are also Directors or officers of the Company may receive compensation from the Advisor or its Affiliates for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement.


9.	FEES.

(a)

The fees described in Section 9(b)-(c) are compensation for the personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the applicable services, including but not limited to salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees involved in the performance of such services, but not for the third-party costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of such services, which third-party costs shall be separately reimbursed and are not included in the services provided by the Advisor and its Affiliates.


(b)	Advisory Fee. The Advisor shall receive the Advisory Fee as compensation for asset management services rendered pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) hereof as follows.

(i)

The Advisory Fee will be comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed component in an amount equal to, for each day during the term of this Agreement, 1/365th of 1.15% of the sum of (a) Operating Partnership NAV and (b) aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties (the “Fixed Component”); and (2) a performance component (the “Performance Component”) that is calculated based on the Annual Total Return Percentage.

(ii)

The Performance Component will not be paid for any calendar year in which the Annual Total Return Percentage is less than or equal to 6.0% (the “Priority Return Percentage”). The dollar amount of the Performance Component will be 25.0% of the product of (A) the excess of the Annual Total Return Percentage over the Priority Return Percentage, (B) the Beginning VPU, and (C) the weighted-average number of OP Units outstanding during the applicable period, calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. However in no event will the Performance Component in a single calendar year exceed 10.0% of the product of (A) the Annual Total Return Percentage, (B) the Beginning

VPU, and (C) the weighted-average number of OP Units outstanding during the applicable period, calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. In the event that the VPU decreases (subject to adjustment to account for (i) any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Operating Partnership, and (ii) any adjustment approved by the Board, as applicable), any subsequent increase in such VPU up to the Standard Threshold shall not be included in the calculation of the Performance Component. If the Performance Component is payable pursuant to this Section 9(b)(ii), the Advisor will be entitled to such payment even in the event that the total percentage return to Unitholders on a cumulative basis over any longer or shorter period, or the total percentage return to any particular Unitholder on a cumulative basis over the same, longer or shorter period, has been less than the Priority Return Percentage. The Advisor shall not be obligated to return any portion of any Advisory Fee paid based on the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s subsequent performance.

(iii)

The Advisor shall, on a daily basis, (i) accrue a liability reserve account equal to the amount due for both the Fixed Component and the Performance Component, such accrual to be reflected in the VPU calculations for such day; and (ii) calculate the Annual Total Return Percentage, prorated as of the end of such day and, based on such calculation, adjust the balance of liability reserve accrual to reflect the estimated amount due on account of the Performance Component.

(iv)

The Advisory Fee will accrue daily. The Fixed Component is payable monthly in arrears (after the close of business and NAV Calculations for the last Business Day for such month). The Performance Component with respect to any calendar year is payable on January 1 of the following calendar year, provided that if this Agreement or its term expires without renewal prior to December 31 of any calendar year, then the Performance Component for such partial year shall be payable on the first business day after the Termination Date. The Performance Component shall be payable for each calendar year in which this Agreement is in effect, even if the Agreement is in effect for less than a full calendar year. In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Advisory Fee will be calculated and due and payable after the NAV Calculations on the Termination Date. If the Advisory Fee is payable with respect to any partial calendar month or calendar year, the Fixed Component will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during any partial calendar month and the Performance Component (including the Priority Return Percentage) will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during, and the Annual Total Return Percentage achieved for, the period of such partial calendar year. For example, for the partial calendar year following the date of this Agreement, the Performance Component will be calculated

based on the Annual Total Return Percentage achieved with respect to the VPU at the end of the date of this Agreement, and the Priority Return Percentage will be reduced pro rata by the number of days in the calendar year that precedes the date of this Agreement.

(v)

In the event the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its Investments during any calendar year, the Advisor will be paid its Advisory Fee from the proceeds of the liquidation and the Performance Component will be calculated at the end of the liquidation period prior to the distribution of the liquidation proceeds to the Unitholders. The calculation of the Performance Component for any partial year shall be calculated consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 9(b)(iv) above.


(vi)	In addition, upon the Sale of one or more Real Properties (other than DST Properties), the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive an amount equal to 1% of the Contract Sales Price of such Real Property or Real Properties.

(c)

Real Estate Sales Commissions. If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services in connection with the Sale of one or more Real Properties (other than DST Properties), the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive a real estate sales commission equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 1% of the Contract Sales Price of such Real Property or Real Properties. 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 with respect to the sale of such Real Property or Real Properties shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the Contract Sales Price of the Real Property or Real Properties or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission.

(d)

Loans from Affiliates. The Advisor or any Affiliate thereof may not make any loan to the Company or the Operating Partnership unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such loan approve the loan as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company or the Operating Partnership than loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.

(e)

Exclusion of Certain Transactions. In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which an officer or director of the Company, and the Operating Partnership, the Advisor, or any Affiliate of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Advisor has a direct or indirect interest, then (i) such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and also by a majority of the Independent Directors and (ii) any commissions or remuneration received by any such persons in connection with such transaction shall be deducted from the fees payable under this Agreement.

(f)

Product Specialists. In the event the Advisor enters into strategic alliances with Product Specialists with respect to investments in Real Properties, Real Estate Related Securities or Debt Investments on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership as provided for in the Company's prospectus, and the Product Specialists perform services that entitle them to fees, any such fees will be paid by the Advisor (and not by the Company or the Operating Partnership) out of the fees the Advisor receives from the Company or the Operating Partnership.

(g)

Payment in Shares. The fees and commissions due under this Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, the Advisor may elect to receive the payment of the fees and commissions due under this Section 9 in any class of Shares. Any such Shares will be valued at the NAV per share applicable to such Shares on the issue date and will not be eligible for redemption by the Advisor until six months from the issue date.

(h)

Fee Waiver. As described above in Section 9(b)(ii), in the event that the VPU decreases (subject to adjustment to account for (i) any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Operating Partnership, and (ii) any adjustment approved by the Board, as applicable) any subsequent increase in such VPU up to the Standard Threshold shall not be included in the calculation of the Performance Component. The Company and the Advisor believe that the Performance Component should also not be earned with respect to Class E Units on any increase in the value per Class E Unit up to $10.00. However, it is the Company’s understanding that in order to continue to qualify as a REIT under current law, the Company cannot direct this entire benefit to the holders of Class E Units.

Instead, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor have structured the following fee waiver that will benefit all Unitholders. If as of the end of the last Business Day of the applicable period the NAV of a Class E Unit is less than $10.00 per unit, the Advisor will waive its fees earned under this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Performance Component for the applicable period calculated after excluding any increases in VPU up to the Standard Threshold, and (b) the weighted-average Class E Units outstanding over the applicable period divided by the weighted-average OP Units outstanding over the same period. If as of the end of the last Business Day of the applicable period, the NAV of a Class E Unit is equal to or greater than $10.00 per unit, the Advisor will waive its fees earned under this Agreement in the amount, if any, by which (i) the product of (a) the Performance Component for the applicable period calculated after excluding any increases in VPU up to the Standard Threshold, and (b) the weighted-average Class E Units outstanding over the applicable period divided by the weighted-average OP Units outstanding over the same period, exceeds (ii) the product of (x) the Performance Component for the applicable period calculated after excluding any increases in VPU up to the Additional Threshold, and (y) the weighted-average Class E Units outstanding over the applicable period divided by

the weighted-average OP Units outstanding over the same period. In this manner, the holders of each class of OP Units will benefit from this waiver pro rata in accordance with their particular class’s portion of Operating Partnership NAV.

However, if the tax laws are modified in the future such that the Company can direct this entire benefit to the holders of Class E Units, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor may agree to do so.


10.	EXPENSES.

(a)

In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the services they provide to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(i)

Organizational and Offering Expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates; provided that after an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent the Organizational and Offering Expenses with respect to such Offering that are borne by the Company exceed 15.0% of the Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering; the Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of all the Company's Organizational and Offering Expenses in excess of the maximum amount permitted;


(ii)	Private Organizational and Offering Expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent the Advisor or its Affiliates have agreed to receive a fee in lieu of reimbursement of such expenses therewith;


(iii)	Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Real Properties;


(iv)	the actual cost of goods and services 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 Real Estate Related Securities or Debt Investments;


(v)	interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;


(vi)	taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Real Properties;


(vii)	costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Directors;


(viii)	expenses of managing and operating Real Properties owned by the Company;


(ix)	all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors and meetings of the Directors and Stockholders;

(x)

personnel (and related employment) costs and overhead (including, but not limited to, allocated rent paid to both third parties and an affiliate of the Advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment, and other costs) incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services described in Section 3 hereof, including, but not limited to, total compensation, benefits and other overhead of all employees involved in the performance of such services, provided that no reimbursement shall be made for such costs in connection with the services under Section 3(a) or services provided by an Affiliate of the Adviser for which the Company pays a separate fee pursuant to a separate agreement;


(xi)	expenses associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Securities, such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees;


(xii)	expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Company to the Stockholders;


(xiii)	expenses of organizing, redomesticating, merging, liquidating or dissolving the Company or of amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws;


(xiv)	expenses 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;


(xv)	audit, accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the Board, the Independent Directors or any committee of the Board;


(xvi)	all other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing its duties hereunder.

(b)

Expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the calculation of the fees and commissions due under this Agreement during each month, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within 45 days after the end of each month.


(c)	In lieu of cash, the Advisor may elect to receive the reimbursement of any of its expenses in any class of Shares. Any such Shares will be valued at the NAV per share applicable to such Shares on the issue date and will not be eligible for redemption by the Advisor until six months from the issue date.

(d)

In the event the Advisor enters into strategic alliances with Product Specialists with respect to investments in Real Properties, Real Estate Related Securities or Debt Investments on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership as provided for in the Company's prospectus, and the Product Specialists perform services that entitle them to expense reimbursements, any such expense reimbursements will be deemed to be expenses incurred by the Advisor for purposes of this Agreement, and reimbursable to the extent permitted under this Agreement as if they were incurred by the Advisor directly.

11.

OTHER SERVICES. Should the Directors request that the Advisor 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 Advisor and the Independent Directors of the Company, 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.

12.

REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter Total Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or, at the option of the Company, subtracted from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, then (i) the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Total Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that Total Operating Expenses in any Expense Year, including any Excess Amount to be paid to the Advisor, shall not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines or (ii) the Excess Amount may be paid in the Expense Year and within 60 days after the end of such Expense Year there shall be sent to the stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for its personnel (and related employment) costs and overhead (including rent, insurance and other costs) incurred in connection with the services under Section 3(a) or services provided by an Affiliate of the Adviser for which the Company pays a separate fee pursuant to a separate agreement. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.


13.	OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.

(a)

Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. 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. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into joint ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such joint ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged (directly or indirectly) to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

(b)

The Advisor shall report to the Directors the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Directors knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Directors (including the Independent Directors) to ensure that the Advisor and its Affiliates adopt the method approved by the Independent Directors, by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to ensure that such method is applied fairly to the Company.

(c)

The Advisor may make such an investment only after (i) such investment has been offered to the Company, the Operating Partnership and all public partnerships and other investment entities Affiliated with the Company with funds available for such investment and (ii) such investment is found to be unsuitable for investment by the Company, the Operating Partnership, such partnerships and investment entities. The Advisor's Affiliates may make such an investment subject to the method approved by the Independent Directors, by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities.


(d)	In the event that the Advisor is presented with a potential investment which might be made by the Company or the Operating Partnership and by another investment entity which the Advisor advises or manages, the Advisor shall consider, among others, the following factors: the investment objectives and criteria of each entity;

the general real property sector or real estate-related sector investment allocation targets of each entity and any targeted geographic concentrations; the cash requirements of each entity; the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each entity’s investments by type of commercial property and geographic area, and on diversification of the customers of its properties; the policy of each entity relating to leverage of properties; the anticipated cash flow of each entity; the tax effects of the purchase on each entity; the size of the investment; and the amount of funds available to each entity and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available which the Advisor determines is suitable for the Company or the Operating Partnership based on the criteria set forth above, then the Advisor will utilize a reasonable allocation method to determine which investments are presented to the Board as opposed to the board of directors of such other program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time the Board or any committee of the Board, as the case may be, may approve, in cooperation with another investment entity which the Advisor (or its Affiliate) advises or manages, a specific allocation procedure with respect to such other investment entity, which shall be communicated to and followed by the Advisor.


14.	TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force through June 30, 2018, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Directors 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.


15.	TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) immediately by the Company and/or the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor, (ii) upon 60 days written notice without Cause and without penalty by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Company or (iii) upon 60 days written notice with Good Reason by the Advisor.

16.

ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited partnership 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.


17.	PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION. Payments to the Advisor of unpaid expense reimbursements pursuant to this Section 17 shall be subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

(a)

After the Termination Date, the Advisor 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 Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive any Excess Amount (as defined in Section 12) for which the Independent Directors determined (before or after the Termination Date) that there was justification based on unusual and nonrecurring factors.


(b)	The Advisor 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 Directors 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 Directors;


(iii)	deliver to the Directors all assets, including Real Properties, Real Estate Related Securities and Debt Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and


(iv)	cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.

18.

INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor 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, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland or the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, for any loss or liability suffered by the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, nor shall they provide that the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless all of the following conditions are met:


(a)	The Advisor has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company and the Operating Partnership;


(b)	The Advisor was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company and the Operating Partnership;


(c)	Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor; and


(d)	Such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company's net assets and not from Stockholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, unless one or more of the following conditions are met:


(a)	There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Advisor;


(b)	Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Advisor; or

(c)

A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Advisor 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 and the Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

In addition, the advancement of the Company's or the Operating Partnership's funds to the Advisor and 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:


(a)	The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership;


(b)	The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a shareholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and


(c)	The Advisor undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Advisor is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

19.

INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor 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 such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are incurred by reason of the Advisor's bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, gross misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

22.	SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable

EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.

The restrictions included above shall not apply to any other Securities acquired by the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Advisor shall not vote any Shares it now owns, or hereafter acquires, in any vote for the election of Directors or any vote regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.
