and Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II O.P., LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CMRII OP”), pursuant to which CMRII will merge with and into Merger Sub and CMRII OP will merge into CCOP or CCOP’s successor (the “CMRII Merger” and

WHEREAS, the Parties have previously entered that Three-Party Agreement dated August 13, 2018 and amended effective as of March 1, 2019 and assigned to CC Advisors effective as of March 1, 2019 as
amended and restated effective October 14, 2019, (collectively, the “Three-Party Agreement”), which agreement, among other things, obligates CC Advisors to pay the Organization and Offering Expenses related to the Offering.
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to further amend and restate the Three-Party Agreement to amend the obligation of CC Advisors to pay the Organization and Offering Expenses related to the Offering as well
as provide for the entry into the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement upon the closing of certain of the Mergers.
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Advisory Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby amend and restate the Three-Party Agreement as follows:
1.
Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. CC Advisors hereby agrees to enter the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement upon the closing of the CRII Merger.
2.
Payment of Expenses.
2.1.
Organization and Offering Expenses.
2.1.1.
Pre-Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. CC Advisors shall pay the Organization and Offering Expenses related to the Offering incurred prior to the entry of the
Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement as its direct obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CCI shall be obligated to pay all Organization and Offering Expenses incurred in connection with or related to the restructuring of the Offering, which
will include, but are not limited to the preparation and filing of an amended Form S-11 for the Offering and amendments to selling agreements related to the Offering.
2.1.2.
Post-Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. Any Organization and Offering Expenses related to the Offering incurred after the entry into the Amended and Restated
Advisory Agreement shall be the direct obligation of CCI and CC Advisors shall have no obligation to pay these expenses other than as provided in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the deferred commission
payable with respect to any shares of Class T common stock, par value $0.01, of CCI (the “Class T Common Stock”) sold in the Offering as currently structured will continue to be the obligation of CC Advisors.
2.2.
Selling Expenses. Upon the entry into the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, CCI shall use its best efforts to amend the Dealer Manager Agreement for the Offering
dated October 15, 2019 by and among CCI, Orchard Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) and CC Advisors (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) and any related soliciting dealer agreements entered in connection with the Offering to (i) reflect
the terms of the restructured Offering and (ii) eliminate the obligation of CC Advisors to pay the compensation due to the Dealer Manager pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement for sales of shares of CCI common stock in the Offering following the
closing of a Merger; provided however, that consistent with Section 2.1.2 above, CC Advisors will remain obligated to pay the compensation due to the Dealer Manager with respect to the deferred commission on any Class T Common Stock sold in the
Offering as currently structured.
3.
Termination Date. This Agreement shall terminate upon the later of (i) the termination of the Offering or (ii) the satisfaction of all of CC Advisor’s payment
obligations under Section 2.
4.
Miscellaneous.
4.1.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, which may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, and all so executed shall constitute one
Agreement, binding on all of the Parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the Parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart.
4.2.
Further Acts and Documents. Each of the Parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments, documents and other agreements and
to do such further acts and things as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
