8.02 Asset Management Fees. The Company shall pay the Advisor or its Affiliates as compensation for the services described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the sum of the Cost of Investments (or in the case of Loans, the principal amount), less any principal repaid by borrowers on Loans or other debt-related investments (or the Company’s proportionate share thereof in the case of an Investment made through a Joint Venture), as of the end of each month. For purposes of calculating the Asset Management Fee, the Cost of Investments for each Investment shall be prorated for the number of days during the applicable month that the Company owns such Investment. The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable month. The Asset Management Fee shall generally be payable on the last day of the month that immediately follows the month in which such Asset Management Fee was earned, or the first business day following the last day of such month. However, payment of the Asset Management Fee may be deferred or waived, in whole or in part (or received in Shares) as to any transaction in the sole discretion of the Advisor. Any such deferred or waived Asset Management Fees shall be paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates without interest at such subsequent date as the Advisor shall request.

8.03 Disposition Fees.

(i) If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services, and based on the services, as determined by the Independent Directors, in connection with a Sale (except for the Sale of any Securities that are traded on a national securities exchange), the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a Disposition Fee in an amount of 1.0% of the Contract Sales Price of each Loan, Security (including mortgage-backed securities or collateralized debt obligations issued by a subsidiary of the Company as part of a securitization transaction) or Property sold.

(ii) The Advisor shall also receive a Disposition Fee upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a Loan or other debt-related investment if there is a corresponding fee paid by the borrower to the Company, in which event the Advisor shall receive the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Loan or debt-related investment prior to such transaction or (ii) the amount of the fee paid by the borrower to the Company in connection with such transaction.

(iii) To the extent the Disposition Fee is paid upon the Sale of any assets other than real property, such amount shall count against the limit of Operating Expenses required to be treated as “Total Operating Expenses” under the NASAA REIT Guidelines. In addition, the payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter and in no event shall the Disposition Fee exceed an amount which, when added to the fees paid by the Company to unaffiliated parties in connection with a Sale, equals the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company; provided, however, that such Disposition Fee shall be paid to an Affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable laws or regulations prohibit such payment to be made to a Person that is not a FINRA member broker-dealer. However, payment of the Disposition Fee may be deferred or waived (or accepted in Shares), in whole or in part, as to any transaction in the sole discretion of the Advisor. Any such deferred or waived Disposition Fees shall be paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates without interest at such subsequent date as the Advisor shall request.

8.04 Operating Partnership Interests. An Affiliate of the Advisor has made a capital contribution of $1,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Special OP Units. The Special OP Units shall be entitled to the distributions provided for, and shall be subject to redemption by the Operating Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement. To the extent distributions to the Special OP Units are not paid from net sales proceeds, such amounts will count against the limit on Operating Expenses. In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Company for Cause, the Company shall redeem the Special OP Units in exchange for a one-time cash payment to the Advisor’s Affiliate of $1.00.

8.05 Payment in Shares. In the event the Advisor, in its sole discretion, elects to be paid any of the fees set forth in this Article 8 in Class I Shares (in lieu of cash payment), the number of Class I Shares shall be equal to (A) the cash amount of such fee; divided by (B) either (i) the then-current offering price (or the most recent offering price if the Company is not engaged in the offering) of the Class I Shares net of dealer manager fees and selling commissions, or (ii) as of the date the Company publishes a NAV per share, the then-current NAV per share applicable to Class I Shares.

ARTICLE 9

In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Article 8 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or in connection with the services provided to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(ii) Origination Fees and Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Investments, including such expenses incurred related to assets pursued or considered but not ultimately acquired by the Company, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Origination Fees and Acquisition Expenses by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter;

(iv) Interest and other costs for borrowed money or securitization transactions, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

(ix) Personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services described in Article 3 hereof, including but not limited to reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services, provided that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of such employees of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such employees (A) perform services for which the Advisor receives Origination Fees or Disposition Fees or (B) serve as executive officers of the Company;

(x) Out-of-pocket expenses of providing services for and 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;

9.02 Initial Organization and Offering Expenses.

(i) The Advisor has agreed to pay, on behalf of the Company, all Organization and Offering Expenses (less Selling Commissions and Distribution Fees) (the “Initial O&O Costs”) through the first anniversary of the date on which the Company satisfies the minimum offering requirement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Escrow Break Anniversary”).

(ii) The Company shall not be required to reimburse the Advisor for payment of the Initial O&O Costs prior to the Escrow Break Anniversary. Following the Escrow Break Anniversary, the Company will reimburse the Advisor for payment of the Initial O&O Costs ratably over a 36-month period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any amounts that as a result of such payment would cause the aggregate payments for Organization and Offering Expenses (less Selling Commissions and Distribution Fees) paid to the Advisor to exceed 1% of gross offering proceeds of the Initial Public Offering as of such payment date (the “1% Cap”). Any amounts not reimbursed in any period shall be included in determining any reimbursement for a subsequent period. The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay amounts to the Advisor in excess of the ratable amount for the Initial O&O Costs; provided that the payment of such amounts is not in excess of the 1% Cap.

(iii) After the Escrow Break Anniversary, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, may pay some or all of the Organization and Offering Expenses but is not required to do so. To the extent the Advisor pays such additional Organization and Offering Expenses, the Company will be obligated to reimburse the Advisor subject to the 1% Cap.

9.03 Timing of and Additional Limitations on Reimbursements.

(i) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and reimbursable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor 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 of each quarter.

(ii) Commencing upon the earlier of the fourth fiscal quarter after (i) the Company makes an initial Investment or (ii) six months after commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the following limitation on Operating Expenses shall apply: the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for 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 year unless the Board determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Board deems sufficient. If the Board does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Board determines such excess was justified, then, within 60 days after

the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Board, 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 Board considered in determining that such excess expenses 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.

ARTICLE 10

OTHER SERVICES

Should: (i) the Operating Partnership request that the Advisor or any Affiliate or any manager, officer or employee of the Advisor or Affiliate render services for the Company other than as set forth in this Agreement; or (ii) there be changes to the regulatory environment in which the Advisor or Company operates that would increase significantly the level of services performed such that the costs and expenses borne by the Advisor for which the Advisor is not entitled to separate reimbursement for personnel and related employment direct costs and overhead under Article 9 of this Agreement would increase significantly, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor 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.

ARTICLE 11

VOTING AGREEMENT

The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it or its Affiliates, none of them will vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders of the Company regarding: (i) the removal of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates as the Advisor; or (ii) any transaction between the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates. This voting restriction shall survive until such time that the Advisor or any of its Affiliates is no longer serving as the Advisor.

ARTICLE 12

RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY;

OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR

12.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor 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. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in 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 manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. 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. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that 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 Person.

12.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

12.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated to present any particular Investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an Investment opportunity is identified, the allocation procedures set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” in any Prospectus (as may be amended from time to time) shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company, any of its Affiliates and any investment vehicles sponsored or managed by the Sponsor or any of their Affiliates.

ARTICLE 13

THE RODIN NAME

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Sponsor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Rodin.” Except upon the express prior written consent of Sponsor, on a case by case basis, which if given, may be withdrawn at any time in the sole discretion of Sponsor, the Company shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates and each of its and their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents, whether present or future (collectively, “Personnel”) not to): (i) use, apply for or register in any manner, form or jurisdiction whatsoever any of Sponsor’s or any of Sponsor’s Affiliates’ name(s), trade name(s), logo(s), trademark(s), service xxxx(s), business, trade or corporate name(s), Internet domain name(s), social media/username domain(s), or sub-domain name(s), in each case, whether registered or unregistered, or any variations, translations, or transliterations thereof, or any terms confusingly similar to any of the foregoing, including without limitation, the name “Rodin” (collectively, the “Names and Marks”), or (ii) sublicense the Names and Marks to any third party or grant any third party the right to use the Names and Marks.

The Company acknowledges and agrees (and shall cause its Personnel to acknowledge and agree) that: (i) Sponsor is and shall remain at all times the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Names and Marks and any and all proprietary rights therein and thereto, (ii) nothing contained herein creates, shall create, nor shall be construed as a grant of, any right, title or interest in or to any Names and Marks or any proprietary rights therein or thereto, (iii) all right, title and interest in and to the Names and Marks is expressly reserved by Sponsor, and (iv) the Company and its Personnel shall keep the Names and Marks free from all liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances.

The Company recognizes the value of the goodwill associated with the Names and Marks and the proprietary rights therein and thereto. Should Sponsor provide its written consent to use the Names and Marks, the Company agrees that (i) any use of the Names and Marks and any goodwill arising therefrom, shall inure solely to the benefit of Sponsor, (ii) it will use the Names and Marks only in accordance with and subject to Sponsor’s specification, direction and information, and (iii) it shall fully cooperate (and shall ensure that its Personnel fully cooperate) with Sponsor as reasonably required from time to time by Sponsor to perfect or otherwise secure all rights, title and interest in any and all Names and Marks.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon Sponsor’s withdrawal of any written consent by Sponsor to use the Names and Marks, or if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company: (i) all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall immediately terminate and revert to Sponsor, (ii) the Company will immediately and permanently cease all use of the Names and Marks, (iii) the Company shall immediately change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Rodin” or any other word or words that might, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Sponsor or any of Sponsor’s Affiliates , and (iv) the Company shall promptly return to Sponsor or, at Sponsor’s option, destroy, at the Company’s expense, all records and copies of technical, marketing, advertising, sales, and promotional material in its possession bearing the Names and Marks. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Sponsor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate loans, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate assets) and financial and service organizations having “Xxxxx” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company. The Sponsor shall govern the Company’s use of the name “Rodin” and the Company’s use of the “Rodin” name will be in strict accordance with any quality standards and specifications that may be established by the Advisor and communicated to Company from time to time.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor with the prior approval of a majority of the Board (and with respect to any assignment to an Affiliate, also with the prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. 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 or other organization that 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. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit or otherwise restrict any transfers or additional issuances of equity interests in the Advisor nor shall any such transfer or issuance be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Article 15.

ARTICLE 16

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

16.01 Indemnification. Except as prohibited by the restrictions provided in this Section 16.01, Section 16.02 and Section 16.03, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, 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, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisors or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee 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 SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

16.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or its Affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:

(ii) The Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company or the Operating Partnership.

(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or its Affiliates.

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

16.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Advisors or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding 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 proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or, if by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) the Advisor or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

16.04 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 not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

During the period commencing on the date hereof through and ending two years following the Termination Date, the Company will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor

or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding two-year period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.
