With the exception of any portion of the Asset Management Fee related to the disposition of Investments, which shall be payable at the time of such disposition and prorated based on the number of days such Investment was managed by the Advisor before disposition, the Asset Management Fee shall be calculated as of the last business day of each month during the term and of this Agreement payable in arrears on the first business day of each month.

          (f) Private Placement Fee. The Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor for all offering and marketing related expenses incurred on the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s behalf in connection with any Private Placement up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of such Private Placement.

          (g) Operating Partnership Interests. The Advisor has made a capital contribution of $1,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. In addition, an Affiliate of the Advisor has made a capital contribution of $1,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Special OP Units. Upon the earliest to occur of the termination of this Agreement for Cause, a Termination Event or a Listing, all of the Special OP Units shall be redeemed by the Operating Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement.

          (h) Exclusion of Certain Transactions. In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which the Advisor, any Affiliate of the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the members of the Board not otherwise interested in such transaction, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

     10. EXPENSES.

          (a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

               (i) Organization and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor to the extent such reimbursement would cause the total amount of Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Company and the Operating Partnership to exceed 3.0% of the Gross Proceeds raised as of the date of the reimbursement;

               (ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Investments subject to the aggregate 6.0% cap on Acquisition Fees, Origination Fees and Acquisition Expenses set forth in Section 9(c);

               (iii) the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor;

               (iv) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

               (v) taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Investments;

               (vi) costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

               (vii) expenses of managing and operating Investments owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-affiliated Person;

               (viii) all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Board and Stockholders;

               (ix) expenses associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Shares, such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees, and other Organization and Offering Expenses;

               (x) expenses connected with payments of Distributions;

               (xi) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying, or terminating the Company or any subsidiary thereof or the Articles of Incorporation or governing documents of any subsidiary;

               (xii) expenses of 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;

               (xiii) administrative service expenses (including (a) personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the Advisor receives Acquisition Fees, Origination Fees or Disposition Fees, and (b) the Company’s allocable share of other overhead of the Advisor such as rent and utilities); and

               (xiv) audit, accounting and legal fees.

          (b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor.

          (c) The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

     11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, 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 upon by the Advisor and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     12. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or, at the option of the Company, subtracted from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, then the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Total Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall 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.

     13. BUSINESS COMBINATION.

          (a) Business Combination with Advisor. The Company shall consider becoming a self-administered REIT once the Company’s assets and income are, in the view of the Board, of sufficient size such that internalizing the management functions performed by the Advisor is in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders. If the Board should make this determination in the future, the Company shall pay one-half, and the Advisor shall pay the other one-half, of the cost of an independent investment banking firm, which shall jointly advise the Company and the Advisor on the value of the Advisor. After the investment banking firm completes its analyses, the Company shall require it to prepare a written report and make a formal presentation to the Board. Following the presentation by the investment banking firm, the Board shall form a special committee (the “Special Committee”) comprised entirely of Independent Directors to consider a possible business combination with the Advisor. The Board shall, subject to applicable law, delegate all of its decision-making power and authority to

the Special Committee with respect to matters relating to a possible business combination with the Advisor. The Special Committee also shall be authorized to retain its own financial advisors and legal counsel to, among other things, negotiate with representatives of the Advisor regarding a possible business combination with the Advisor.

          (b) Conditions to Completion of Business Combination with Advisor. Before the Company may complete any business combination with the Advisor in accordance with this Section 13, the following conditions shall be satisfied:

               (i) the Special Committee formed in accordance with Section 13(a) hereof receives an opinion from a qualified investment banking firm, separate and distinct from the firm jointly retained by the Company and the Advisor to provide a valuation analysis in accordance with Section 13(a) hereof, concluding that the consideration to be paid to acquire the Advisor is fair to the Stockholders from a financial point of view;

               (ii) the Board determines that such business combination is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders; and

               (iii) such business combination is approved by the Stockholders entitled to vote thereon in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

     14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from 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 director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. 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, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into joint ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such joint ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

     The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which 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 partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, the Advisor shall inform the Board of the method to be applied by the Advisor in allocating investment opportunities among the Company and competing investment entities and shall provide regular updates to the Board of the investment opportunities provided by the

Advisor to competing programs in order for the Board (including the Independent Directors) to fulfill its duty to ensure that the Advisor and its Affiliates use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.

     15. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date of the Prospectus pursuant to which the initial Offering is made, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Independent Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor 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:

          (a) immediately by the Company or the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor;

          (b) upon 60 days written notice without Cause and without penalty by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Company; or

          (c) upon 60 days written notice with Good Reason by the Advisor.

     The provisions of Sections 18 through 30 of this Agreement survive termination of this Agreement.

     17. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. 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, limited partnership 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.

     18. 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 except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

          (b) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

               (i) pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this

Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

               (ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

               (iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and

               (iv) cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.

     19. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective directors (the “Indemnitees,” and each an “Indemnitee”), 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, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland, the Articles of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any loss or liability suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless all of the following conditions are met:

          (a) the Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company and the Operating Partnership;

          (b) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of, or performing services for, the Company or the Operating Partnership;

          (c) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

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

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

          (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;

          (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or

          (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

     In addition, the advancement of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

          (a) the legal action 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 action is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in such Stockholder’s capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

          (c) the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Indemnitee is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

     20. 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, misfeasance, intentional misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; 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.

     21. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, by courier or overnight carrier or by registered or certified mail to the addresses set forth herein:
