The Manager acknowledges that it has been advised that the Company has elected or may elect to be characterized as a REIT, and agrees that the business and affairs of the AHP Entities shall be managed with a view to minimizing (i) the amount of gross income received by the AHP Entities (directly or indirectly) that would not constitute (A) “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856 of the Code or (B) interest, dividends, gain from sales or other types of income, in each case, described in Section 856(c)(3) of the Code, (ii) the amount of any income received by the AHP Entities (directly or indirectly) from any “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code (together with the income described in clause (i) of this sentence, “Bad REIT Income”) and (iii) the amount of assets held by the AHP Entities (directly or indirectly) that are not “real estate assets” or other types of assets described in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code (“Bad REIT Assets”). Manager and the AHP Entities agree that the AHP Entities shall be entitled to exercise any vote, consent, election or other right under this Agreement with a view to avoiding (or minimizing) the amount of Bad REIT Income or Bad REIT Assets of the AHP Entities or any material risk that a the Company could be disqualified as a real estate investment trust under the Code or could be subject to any additional taxes under Section 857 of the Code or Section 4981 of the Code, in each case, without regard to whether conducting the business of the AHP Entities in such manner would maximize either pre-tax or after-tax profit of Manager or the AHP Entities. Without the prior written consent of the AHP Entities, Manager, with respect to the AHP Entities, shall not (i) enter into any lease pursuant to which the determination of any rent to be received (directly or indirectly) by the AHP Entities depends in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (other than amounts based upon a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales); (ii) enter into any lease pursuant to which the AHP Entities shall receive (directly or indirectly) rents attributable to personal property except for a lease pursuant to which the personal property is leased in connection with the lease of real property and the rent attributable to the personal property for any taxable year does not exceed 15% of the total rent for such year with respect to such lease; (iii) enter into any arrangement pursuant to which the AHP Entities would receive (directly or indirectly) any “impermissible tenant service income” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(7) of the Code; (iv) undertake any sales or dispositions of property as a dealer for federal income tax purposes which sales would be treated as “prohibited transactions” pursuant to Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code; or (v) otherwise engage in any transaction which would, or likely would, result in the AHP Entities receiving more than a de minimis amount of Bad REIT Income or owning more than a de minimis amount of Bad REIT Assets. In structuring the AHP Entities transactions, Manager and the AHP Entities shall consider the use of a taxable REIT subsidiary (each a “TRS”) or an affiliate of a TRS (together with a TRS, each a “TRS Entity”) to own or lease all or portions of the Property or to perform certain services with respect to the Property to minimize the impact of Bad REIT Income. In connection therewith, the AHP Entities shall, in its sole discretion, have the unilateral right to (x) lease all or any portion of the Property (a “TRS Lease”) to a TRS Entity or (y) enter into a services agreement with a TRS Entity to have such TRS Entity perform certain services (including, but not limited to, any non-customary services) with respect to the Property (the “TRS Services Agreement”). Upon such election by the AHP Entities, Manager will cooperate to facilitate the implementation of the TRS Lease or TRS Services Agreement, including, without limitation, entering into an agreement to provide similar services (but not duplicative) to such TRS Entity as under this Agreement, and any corresponding amendment to this agreement to take into account such TRS Entity, and the AHP Entities shall have the right to cause such TRS Entity to pay its allocated share of the fees and expenses payable to Manager hereunder. The form of such agreement, and any corresponding amendments to this Agreement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Manager and the AHP Entities. Manager shall provide any information related to the AHP Entities and/or any Property that is reasonably requested by the AHP Entities with respect to REIT qualification matters of the Company.

Article 12

RELATIONSHIP OF MANAGER AND AHP ENTITIES;
OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE MANAGER

12.01 Relationship. The AHP Entities and the Manager 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 Manager from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other real estate funds) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Manager or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Manager or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Manager may, with respect to any investment in which the AHP Entities are a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Manager 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 Manager’s obligations to the AHP Entities and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.

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

12.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Manager shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the AHP Entities that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Manager nor any Affiliate of the Manager shall be obligated generally to present any particular Investment opportunity to the AHP Entities even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the AHP Entities, could be taken by the AHP Entities. The AHP Entities shall not make any Investment unless the Manager has recommended the Investment to the AHP Entities. The Manager shall be required to notify the Board at least annually of investments that have been purchased by other entities managed by the Manager or its Affiliates for determination by the Board that the Manager is fairly presenting investment opportunities to the AHP Entities. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions– Our Affiliates’ Interests in Other AHP Entities – Allocation of Investment Opportunities” in the Offering Statement shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the AHP Entities and other entities managed by the Manager or its Affiliates.

●

The Manager committing fraud against the AHP Entities, misappropriating or embezzling its funds, or acting, or failing to act, in a manner constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that if any of these actions is caused by an employee, personnel and/or officer of the Manager or one of its Affiliates and the Manager (or such Affiliate) takes all necessary and appropriate action against such person and cures the damage caused by such actions within 30 days of the Manager’s actual knowledge of its commission or omission, this Agreement shall not be terminable; in addition, if the Manager (or such Affiliate) diligently takes necessary and appropriate action to cure the damage caused by such actions in the first 30 days of the Manager’s actual knowledge of its commission or omission, the Manager (or such Affiliate) will have a total of 180 days in which to cure such damage before the management agreement shall become terminable; or

●

13.03 Termination by the Manager. The Manager may terminate this Agreement if the Company becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event. The Manager may decline to renew this Agreement by providing the AHP Entities with 180 days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the initial term or the then current automatic renewal term.

(d) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly transition of management and advisory functions.

Article 14

This Agreement may be assigned by the Manager to an Affiliate with the approval of the Board. The Manager 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 AHP Entities without the consent of the Manager, except in the case of an assignment by the AHP Entities to a corporation or other organization that is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the AHP Entities, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the AHP Entities 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 Manager nor shall any such transfer or issuance be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Article 14.
