anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Adviser’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. The Adviser or its Affiliates shall promptly
disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Adviser, 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 Board to adopt a reasonable method by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.
1.1.3
COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SPECIFIED COSTS
COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SPECIFIED COSTS
(a) Fees. The following fees shall be paid to the Adviser pursuant to the sections below.
(1) Asset Management Fee. The Company shall
pay the Adviser a monthly fee for day-to-day professional management services in connection with the Company and its investments in Assets on or before the 15th day of each calendar month in an amount equal to 1/12th of
(i) 3.0% of the first $20 million of Invested Capital, (ii) 2% of the next $80 million in Invested Capital, and (iii) 1.5% of the Invested Capital greater than $100 million.
(2) Acquisition Fees. The Company shall pay
the Adviser a fee in the amount of 2.5% of the Asset Purchase Price of each Asset as an Acquisition Fee, payable at the time funds are expended, or Shares or Partnership Units issued, for the acquisition or making of the Asset. An Asset will be
considered acquired for the purpose hereof on the date it becomes a majority owned subsidiary such that the Company or the Partnership consolidates (or could consolidate) the Asset’s operations into its financial statements from an accounting
perspective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acquisition that would otherwise generate a fee hereunder is made anytime after the sale of an Asset by the Company that was owned by the Company for fewer than five years, using any proceeds from
such sale, then the amount of the Acquisition Fee hereunder shall be reduced by multiplying such fee by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years such sold Asset was held and the denominator of which is five.
(3) [deleted].
(4) [deleted].
(5) Subordinated Incentive Fee. Once
Stockholders have received distributions equal to the Stockholders’ 6% Return, the Adviser shall be paid a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount that results in the Adviser having received payments under this subparagraph (e) from the Effective Date
through the date of determination equal to 15% of the Stockholders’ 6% Return calculated as of the date of the determination; thereafter, the Adviser will receive an incentive fee equal to 15% of all distributions paid to Shareholders that would be
considered in calculating the Stockholders’ 6% Return (i.e., not including either (a) Net Sales Proceeds or (b) proceeds from refinancings, that are considered return of capital) so long as distributions to Stockholders continue to exceed the
Stockholders’ 6% Return. If the Adviser so chooses in the future, the fee paid hereunder may be converted into an equivalent right to receive distributions under the Partnership as a special limited partner or from a specially designated series of
preferred stock.
(6) Non-Exclusivity of Fees. The fees
payable to the Adviser, as described above, may be payable in addition to real estate commissions paid for the purchase or sale of a Property that are reasonable, customary, and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the Property
(as determined by the Board).
(b) Expenses.
(1) In addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the

Stockholders;
k. expenses of organizing, reorganizing, liquidating or dissolving the Company and the expenses of filing or amending the Articles of
Incorporation;
l. transfer agent expenses 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;
m. administrative service expenses (including personnel and overhead costs of Affiliates, as approved by Board); and
n. audit, accounting, and legal fees.
(2) Expenses incurred by the Adviser on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be reimbursed no less than
quarterly to the Adviser within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Adviser 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

(2) The Company shall advance to the Adviser or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees,
funds for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought 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 Adviser 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 Adviser or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, are found not to be entitled to indemnification.
(3) The indemnity provided for pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall extend, without limitation, to any results, outcomes or risks
associated with the business and investment objectives of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1, the Adviser shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.1 for any activity which
the Adviser shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 5.2.
(b) Indemnification by Adviser. The Adviser 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 such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and
are incurred by reason of the Adviser’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties, but 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.

organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company, and shall likewise be binding upon any successor
to the Adviser.

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.

in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assignees.
(e) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from

interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and venue for any action brought with respect to any claims arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in Contra Costa County, California.

among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to
the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in
writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
(h) Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any
right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be
effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
(i) Headings. The titles and headings of sections and subsections contained in this
Agreement are for convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation hereof.
(j) Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof,
individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.
(k) Ownership of Proprietary Property. The Adviser retains ownership of and reserves all
Intellectual Property Rights in the Proprietary Property. To the extent that the Company has or obtains any claim to any right, title or interest in the Proprietary Property, including without limitation in any suggestions, enhancements or
contributions that Company may provide regarding the Proprietary Property, the Company hereby assigns and transfers exclusively to the Adviser all right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights, free and
clear of any liens, encumbrances or licenses in favor of the Company or any other party, in and to the Proprietary Property. In addition, at the Adviser’s expense, the Company will perform any acts that may be deemed desirable by the Adviser to
evidence more fully the transfer of ownership of right, title and interest in the Proprietary Property to the Adviser, including but not limited to the execution of any instruments or documents now or hereafter requested by the Adviser to perfect,
defend or confirm the assignment described herein, in a form determined by the Adviser.
