Additionally, to the extent that the Operating Partnership issues Operating Partnership units to parties other than the Company or the Adviser, the Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser a monthly management fee (the “OP Management Fee” and, together with the Company Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to (i) commencing January 16, 2030, 1.0% of the net asset value of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class N units of the Operating Partnership (“Class N Units”) held by unitholders other than the Company or the Adviser per annum, plus (ii) 1.0% of the net asset value of the Operating Partnership attributable units of the Operating Partnership (other than Class N Units and Class E Units) held by unitholders other than the Company or the Adviser per annum. No OP Management Fee will be paid at any time with respect to Class E units of the Operating Partnership (“Class E Units”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the value of the Company’s investments in the Affiliated Funds will be excluded from the NAV of the Company and the net asset value of the Operating Partnership, respectively, for purposes of calculating the Management Fee.
(b)The Company Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in either (1) cash, or (2) cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class I Common Shares, Class E Common Shares, Class I units of the Operating Partnership (“Class I Units”) or Class E Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in either cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class I Units or Class E Units. If the Adviser elects to receive any portion of its Management Fee in Class I Common Shares, Class E Common Shares, Class I Units, or Class E Units, the Adviser may elect to have the Company or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Shares or units from the Adviser at a later date, subject to the terms of any policy adopted by the Board with respect to shares held by the Adviser. Class I Common Shares, Class E Common Shares, Class I Units, or Class E Units obtained by the Adviser 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 Class I Units or Class E 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 Class I Units or Class E Units will be repurchased for the Company’s Class I Common Shares or Class E Common Shares, as the case may be, with an equivalent aggregate NAV. The Adviser will have the option of exchanging Class I Common Shares or Class E Common Shares for an equivalent aggregate NAV amount of Class I Common Shares, Class T Common Shares, Class S Common Shares, Class D Common Shares, Class N Common Shares or Class E Common Shares.
(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.

(d)The Adviser may, at its option, elect not to seek reimbursement for certain expenses during a given period, which determination shall not be deemed to construe a waiver of reimbursement for similar expenses in future periods.
(e)Any reimbursement payments owed by the Company to the Adviser may be offset by the Adviser against amounts due to the Company from the Adviser. 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 anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser shall:
(i) Pay for all Organization and Offering Expenses (other than Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees and Stockholder Servicing Fees) incurred through the earlier to occur of (1) the date that the Company’s aggregate NAV is at least $1.0 billion and (2) December 31, 2022. All such Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Adviser pursuant to this Section 11(f)(i) (the “Advanced Organization and Offering Expenses”) shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Adviser in 60 equal monthly installments following the earlier to occur of (1) the date that the Company’s aggregate NAV is at least $1.0 billion and (2) December 31, 2027; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advanced Organization and Offering Expenses shall become immediately due and payable in the event of the dissolution, liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or Change of Control of the Company or Operating Partnership or delivery of notice of termination of this Agreement.

(ii) Pay for all of the costs and expenses of the Company contemplated by Section 11(c) above (excluding Organizational and Offering Expenses) incurred through the earlier to occur of (1) the date that the Company’s aggregate NAV is at least $500 million and (2) December 31, 2021.

After December 31, 2021, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for any such expenses that the Adviser incurs on the Company’s behalf as and when incurred, subject to Section 13. For the avoidance of doubt, the Advanced Operating Expenses are deemed to be liabilities of the Company regardless of whether such expenses are immediately due and payable.
12.OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Adviser or any director, manager, 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 with the first four full fiscal quarters after the fiscal quarter in which the Company acquires its first asset, 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
14
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 SEC 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 until December 31, 2022, 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.

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.

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. During the term of this Agreement and 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 Adviser or its affiliate may not request that any of the Shares purchased with the Initial Investment be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Company’s share purchase program until the third anniversary of the Initial Investment, and any such repurchase request may be accepted only after all requests from unaffiliated stockholders first have been fulfilled.
