5. Bank Accounts. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of CWI or in the name of CWI and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of CWI, 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 Board and to the auditors of CWI.

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

The aggregate Asset Management Fees calculated with respect to each month shall be payable on the first business day following such month.

- 13 -

(b) Acquisition Fee.

(i) The Advisor may receive as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of any Investment, an acquisition fee (an “Acquisition Fee”) payable by the Operating Partnership. The Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor in respect of an Investment shall be payable at the time such Investment is acquired in an amount equal to 2.50% of the Total Investment Cost.

(ii) The total amount of all Acquisition Fees, whether payable to the Advisor or a third party, and Acquisition Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership may not exceed 6% of the aggregate Contract Purchase Price of all Investments, measured for the period beginning with the initial acquisition of an Investment and ending (A) on December 31 of the year in which CWI has invested 90% of the net proceeds of its initial Offering (excluding the net proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to CWI’s dividend reinvestment program), and (B) on each December 31 thereafter, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to CWI.

(c) Property Management Fee; Loan Refinancing Fee.

(i) No Property Management Fee shall be paid unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.

(ii) The Advisor shall receive as compensation for services rendered in connection with a qualifying refinancing of a Loan secured by a Property (the “Refinanced Loan”), a loan refinancing fee (a “Loan Refinancing Fee”) payable by the Operating Partnership. A refinancing will qualify for a Loan Refinancing Fee only if (A) the maturity date of the Refinanced Loan is less than one year from the date of the refinancing and the new loan has a term of at least five years, (B) in the judgment of the Independent Directors, the terms of the new loan represent an improvement over the Refinanced Loan, or (C) the new loan is approved by the Independent Directors as being in the best interest of CWI. The Loan Refinancing Fee payable to the Advisor in respect of a Refinanced Loan shall be payable at upon the funding of the related mortgage loan or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable in an amount up to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Refinanced Loan.

(d) Disposition Fee.

(i) If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services in the sale of an Investment, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall be entitled to receive a disposition fee (the “Disposition Fee”) at the time of such disposition, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 50% of the Competitive Real Estate Commission (if applicable) and (2) 1.5% of the Contract Sales Price of the Investment.

- 14 -

(ii) The total real estate commissions and Disposition Fees CWI pays to all Persons shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) 6% of the Contract Sales Price of the Investment and (2) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. The Advisor shall present to the Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably request to review the level of services provided by the Advisor in connection with a disposition and the basis for the calculation of the amount of the Disposition Fees on a quarterly basis. No payment of Disposition Fees shall be made prior to review and approval of such information by the Independent Directors.

(e) Loans From Affiliates. CWI shall not borrow funds from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors who are not interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing charges or fees received by the Advisor or its Affiliates do not exceed the amount which would be charged by non-affiliated lending institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable than those prevailing for comparable arm’s-length loans for the same purpose. CWI will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment and CWI is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the judgment of the Board, it is not in CWI’s best interest to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to believe that CWI will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates.

(f) Changes To Fee Structure. In the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on the NASDAQ, CWI and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the advisory fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of CWI’s portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of CWI; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with CWI, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by CWI or by others with whom CWI does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of CWI, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of CWI in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for the account of other clients. The Independent Directors shall not approve any new fee structure that is in their judgment more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Advisor than the current fee structure.

(g) Payment. Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any fee payable pursuant to this Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the Advisor, in the form of: (i) cash, (ii) restricted stock of CWI, or (iii) a combination of cash and restricted stock. The Advisor shall notify CWI in writing annually of the form in which the fee shall be paid. Such notice shall be provided no later than January 15 of each year. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of stock, the value of each share of restricted stock shall be: (i) the Net Asset Value per Share as determined based on the most recent appraisal of CWI’s assets performed by an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an appraisal has not yet been performed, $10.00 per share. If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is paid with stock, the value shall be the price of the stock without commissions. The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on a quarterly or other basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions. Stock issued by CWI to the Advisor in payment of fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and CWI may from time to time agree.

(xvii) all other Operating Expenses and other expenses the Advisor incurs in connection with providing services to CWI, including reimbursement to the Advisor or its Affiliates for the costs of rent, goods, materials and personnel incurred by them based upon the compensation of the Persons involved and an appropriate share of overhead allocable to those Persons as reasonably determined by the Advisor on a basis approved annually by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of time spent by personnel on activities for which the Advisor receives a separate fee.

(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of CWI and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.

11. Other Services. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any Affiliate, shareholder or employee thereof render services for CWI other than as set forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12. Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the benefit of CWI which bond shall insure CWI from losses of up to $5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to CWI by the Advisor.

13. Limitation on Expenses.

(a) If Operating Expenses during the 12-month period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of CWI exceed the greater of (i) two percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii) 25% of the Adjusted Net Income of CWI over the same 12-month period (the “2%/25% Guidelines”), then subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be the sole responsibility of the Advisor and neither the Operating Partnership nor CWI shall be liable for payment therefor. CWI may defer the payment or distribution to the Advisor and the Special General Partner of fees, expenses and distributions that would, if paid or distributed, cause Operating Expenses during such 12-month period to exceed the foregoing limitations; provided, however, that in determining which items shall be paid and which may be deferred, priority will be given to the payment of distributions to the Special General Partner over the payment to the Advisor of amounts due under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor becomes responsible for any excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement would not cause the Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter. In no event shall the Operating Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership in any 12-month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.

(c) Within 60 days after the end of any 12-month period referred to in paragraph (a), the Advisor shall reimburse CWI for any amounts expended by CWI in such 12-month period that exceeds the limitations provided in paragraph (a) unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses are justified, as provided in paragraph (b), and provided the Operating Expenses for such later quarter would not thereby exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.

(d) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(e) If the Special General Partner receives distributions pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership in respect of realized gains on the disposition of an Investment, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating the Operating Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the disposition of such Investment.

14. Other Activities of the Advisor.

(b) The Advisor shall not consent to any material amendment of Section 4(a) of the Subadvisory Agreement without the prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.

- 18 -

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 14, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including the rendering of advice to other investors (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 the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director, member, officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which CWI is a participant, also render advice and service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CWI acknowledges that (i) affiliates of W. P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC provide or will provide services to the CPA^® REIT funds, (ii) W. P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC owns investments in lodging properties which are not being contributed to CWI which it will continue to own and manage and (iii) the Advisor and its Affiliates may provide services to other programs sponsored or managed by W. P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and (iv) the Advisor and its Affiliates may make future investments for their own account. The Advisor shall be responsible for promptly reporting to the Board the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest that arises that may affect its performance of its duties under this Agreement. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as CWI, it shall be the duty of the Advisor to adopt a reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use its best efforts to apply such method fairly to CWI.

(d) The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to CWI that is consistent with the investment procedures, objectives and policies of CWI, but subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to CWI even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to CWI, could be taken by CWI.

(e) If the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment which might be made by CWI and by another investment entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall consider, among other things, the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity and from the asset, the effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity’s portfolio, the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage, the funds of each entity available for investment, the amount of equity required to make the investment, the length of time such funds have been available for investment and the manner in which the potential investment can be structured by each entity, and whether a particular entity has been formed specifically for the purpose of making particular types of investments (in which case it will generally receive preference in the allocation of those types of investments).

15. Relationship of Advisor and CWI. CWI and the Advisor agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them.

16. Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement, as amended and restated, shall continue in force until September 30, 2011 or until 60 days after the date on which the Independent Directors shall have notified the Advisor of their determination either to renew this Agreement for an additional one-year period or terminate this Agreement, as required by the Articles of Incorporation.

- 19 -

17. Termination by CWI. At the sole option of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by written notice of termination from CWI to the Advisor upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the following events occur:

(a) If the Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or trustee of the Advisor, for all or substantially all of its property by reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves any petition filed against the Advisor for reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or

(b) If the Advisor shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due.

Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 hereof shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is given or any date thereafter. The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in this Section 17(a) or (b) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.

18. Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to CWI upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by CWI without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by action of the Directors, a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority of the Shareholders, in each case upon 60 days’ written notice.

19. Assignment Prohibition. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Advisor without the prior written consent of CWI except in case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership, association, trust or organization which takes over the assets and carries on the affairs of the Advisor, provided: (i) that at the time of such assignment, such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Advisor and only if such entity has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Advisor shall deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from the new Advisor as to its net worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound by this Agreement. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement may not be assigned by CWI or the Operating Partnership without the prior written consent of the Advisor except in case of an assignment to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to CWI 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 CWI or the Operating Partnership is bound by this Agreement.

20. 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 but shall be entitled to receive from CWI the following:

(i) all unpaid reimbursements of Organization and Offering Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor;

(ii) all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the Advisor prior to the Termination Date;

- 20 -

(iii) all earned but unpaid Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor relating to the acquisition of any Property prior to the Termination Date;

(iv) all earned but unpaid Disposition Fees payable to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Investment prior to the Termination Date; and

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by CWI for Cause, or by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive the sums in this Section 20(a) (ii) through (v).

(c) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts shall be paid in a manner determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of CWI or the Operating Partnership or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the “Note”). The Note, if any, may be prepaid by the Operating Partnership at any time prior to maturity with accrued interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investments (A) shall be an amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the respective Investments during which the Advisor provided services to CWI, (B) shall not be due and payable until the Property, Loan or Other Permitted Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (C) shall not bear interest until the Property, Loan or Other Permitted Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced. A portion of the amount shall be paid as each Investment owned by CWI on the Termination Date is sold. The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be equal to (X) such amount multiplied by (Y) the percentage calculated by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment sold by CWI divided by the total fair value (at the Termination Date) of all Investments owned by CWI on the Termination Date.

(d) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

(i) pay over to the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of CWI pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

SCHEDULE A

This Schedule A sets forth the terms governing any Shares issued by CWI to the Advisor in payment of advisory fees set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to vesting over a five-year period. The Shares shall vest ratably over a five-year period with 20% of the Shares paid in each payment vesting on each of the first through fifth anniversary of the date hereof. Prior to the vesting of the ownership of the Shares in the Advisor, the Shares may not be transferred by the Advisor.

2. Immediate Vesting. Upon the expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason other than a termination for Cause under Section 17 of the Agreement or upon a “Change of Control” of CWI (as defined below), all Shares granted to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9(g) of the Agreement shall vest immediately and all restrictions shall lapse. For purposes of this Schedule A, a “Change of Control” of CWI shall be deemed to have occurred if there has been a change in the ownership of CWI of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to the disclosure requirements of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as enacted and in force on the date hereof, whether or not CWI is then subject to such reporting requirements; provided, however, that, without limitation, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than CWI, any of its subsidiaries, any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan of CWI or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of CWI representing 25 % or more of either (A) the combined voting power of CWI’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (“Voting Securities”) or (B) the Shares then outstanding (in either such case other than as a result of acquisition of securities directly from CWI);

(ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of CWI subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an Incumbent Director; or

(iii) the stockholders of CWI shall approve (A) any consolidation or merger of CWI or any subsidiary where the stockholders of CWI, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50 % or more of the voting equity of the entity issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent entity, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of CWI or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of CWI.

- 27 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by CWI which, by reducing the number of Shares outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).

3. Exception. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement to the contrary, the Shares shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule in this Section A regardless of: (a) the expiration of the Agreement for any reason other than a termination by CWI for Cause or a resignation by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, (b) the merger of CWI and an Affiliate of CWI, or (c) any Change of Control of CWI in connection with a merger of CWI with an Affiliate of CWI.
