(a) The Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith and shall not be responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Manager, including as set forth in the Investment Guidelines. The Manager, its officers, members, managers, directors, personnel, Affiliates, and any Person providing sub-advisory services to the Manager (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party”), will not be liable to any Company Entity or any of the stockholders, partners, members or other holders of equity interests of any Company Entity for any acts or omissions by any Manager Indemnified Party performed in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of any act or omission on the part of such Manager Indemnified Party constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties under the Management Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Manager shall perform its duties with a standard of care utilizing its best business judgment given the circumstances and the resources, in a commercially reasonable manner.

(b) The Company shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each Manager Indemnified Party, of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Manager Indemnified Party performed in good faith under this Agreement and the standards set forth in Sections 3(a) and 8(a) and the in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3(a) and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of such Manager Indemnified Party under this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Company shall advance funds to a Manager Indemnified Party for legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, that such Manager Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it shall ultimately be determined that such Manager Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as provided herein in connection with such claim, suit, action or proceeding.

(c) The Manager shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, personnel, agents and Affiliates (each, a “Company Indemnified Party,” and collectively with a Manager Indemnified Party, each an “Indemnified Party”) of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of the Manager constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of the Manager under this Agreement, or (ii) any claims by the Manager’s personnel relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Manager.

(d) In case any such claim, suit, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the indemnifying party, which notice shall include all documents and information in the possession of or under the control of such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary for the evaluation and/or defense of such Claim and shall specifically state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section 8; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party’s rights other than pursuant to this Section 8. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents and information from such Indemnified Party), the indemnifying party shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, which counsel may, without limiting the rights of such Indemnified Party pursuant to the next sentence of this Section 8(c), also represent the indemnifying party in such investigation, action or proceeding. In the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct the defense of the Claim, if (i) such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its defense by the indemnifying party could be materially prejudicial to its interests, (ii) the indemnifying party refuses to assume such defense (or fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of a notice of Claim that the indemnifying party assumes such defense), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith. The indemnifying party may settle any Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, provided (i) such settlement is without any Losses whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party and (iii) the indemnifying party obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. The applicable Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof. If such Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 8 to elect to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing and so elects, then the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 8.

(e) Any Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall seek recovery under any insurance policies by which such Indemnified Party is covered and any Indemnified Party shall obtain the written consent of the indemnifying party prior to entering into any compromise or settlement which would result in an obligation of such indemnifying party to indemnify such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the possibility of recovery under any such insurance policies shall not preclude an Indemnified Party from seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. If such Indemnified Party shall actually recover any amounts under any applicable insurance policies, it shall offset the net proceeds so received against any amounts owed by the indemnifying party by reason of the indemnity provided hereunder or, if all such amounts shall have been paid by the indemnifying party in full prior to the actual receipt of such net insurance proceeds, it shall pay over such proceeds (up to the amount of indemnification paid by the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party) to the indemnifying party. If the amounts in respect of which indemnification is sought arise out of the conduct of the business and affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary and also of any other Person or entity for which the Indemnified Party hereunder was then acting in a similar capacity, the amount of the indemnification to be provided by the Company may be limited to the Company Parties’ proportionate share thereof if so determined by the Company in good faith.

(f) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

The Company is not required to pay to the Manager the Termination Fee if the Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10(c).

Investment Guidelines

(Effective __________ __, 2016)

2. No investment shall be made that would cause Medalist or the Operating Partnership to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Exhibit B to Management Agreement

Example Incentive Fee Calculation

Set forth below is an example of the calculation of the Manager’s quarterly Incentive Fee based upon various assumptions described herein.

Assume the following:

•

AFFO for the 12-month period equals $4,000,000;

•

3,000,000 shares of Common Stock are outstanding and the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the 12-month period is 3,000,000;

•

weighted average issue price per share of common stock is $10.00; and

•

Incentive Fees paid during the first three quarters of such 12-month period are $300,000.

Under these assumptions, the quarterly incentive fee payable to our Manager would be $80,000, as calculated below:

1.	AFFO	$	4,000,000

2.	Weighted average issue price per share of common stock of $10.00 multiplied by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding of 3,000,000 multiplied by 7%	$	2,100,000

3.	Excess of AFFO over amount calculated in 2 above	$	1,900,000

4.	20% of the amount calculated in 3 above	$	380,000

5.	Incentive fee equals the amount calculated in 4 above less the incentive fees paid during the first three quarters of such previous 12-month period;	$	300,000

6.	Quarterly incentive fee payable to our Manager:	$	80,000
