The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, the Advisor shall be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of this Section 3(b) by the Company, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

(c) The Advisor shall use such names, trademarks and logos as may be adopted and designated by the Advisor with respect to and in conjunction with the operation and management of the Company and other properties managed by the Advisor; provided, however, such names, trademarks and logos shall remain the exclusive property of the Advisor. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or expires, all rights of the Company to use such names and such trademarks and logos shall be immediately terminated.

(d) All Intellectual Property created or developed in connection with the Advisor’s performance of this Agreement or otherwise and the Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith shall be the sole

and exclusive property of the Advisor. The Advisor does hereby grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty free, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable license and right to use the Intellectual Property made or used in connection with the Advisor’s performance of this Agreement for its business purposes. The Company will, upon request of the Advisor, do execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be requested by the Advisor to carry out the intent of this Agreement or to otherwise perfect, record, confirm, or enforce the Advisor’s rights in and to the Intellectual Property.

Section 4. Agency. The Advisor shall act as agent of the Company and the Subsidiaries in making, acquiring, financing and disposing of investments of the Company, disbursing and collecting the funds of the Company and the Subsidiaries, paying the debts and fulfilling the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, supervising the performance of professionals engaged by or on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries and handling, prosecuting and settling any claims of or against the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Board, holders of the Company’s securities or representatives or assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

Section 5. Bank Accounts. At the direction of the Board, the Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company or any Subsidiary, and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse funds from any such account or accounts, under such terms and conditions as the Board may approve; and the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and, upon request, to the auditors of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 6. Compensation.

(a) Asset Management Fees. The Advisor shall receive an annual Asset Management Fee payable, if earned, by the Operating Partnership. The Asset Management Fees will be paid, if earned, within 15 Business Days of the annual approval by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, of the NAV as of the last day of the calendar year following the Independent Valuation Advisor providing confirmation of the reasonableness of the calculated NAV. The amount of the annual Asset Management Fee, if any, payable shall be based on the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return as of the end of each Accrual Period, as follows:

(i) No Asset Management Fee is payable if either of the QDII Average Annual Return or the US L.P. Average Annual Return for the Accrual Period is less than 2.0%;

(ii) An Asset Management Fee equal to 0.5% of the NAV as of the end of the Accrual Period is payable if both the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for such Accrual Period is between 2.0% and 5.0%; and

(iii) An Asset Management Fee equal to 1.0% of the NAV as of the end of the Accrual Period is payable if both the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for such Accrual Period is greater than or equal to 5.0%.

In the event that the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for an Accrual Period differ to a degree which would result in the application of different Asset Management Fee calculations pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) and 6(a)(iii) above (e.g., if the QDII Average Annual Return for an Accrual Period is between 2.0% and 5.0% and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for such Accrual Period is greater than 5.0%), then the lesser of the average annual return amounts will be used for all purposes to determine the amount of the Asset Management Fee payable for such Accrual Period.

The percentage of the NAV for a given Accrual Period set forth in Section 6(a)(ii) and Section 6(a)(iii) above is referred to herein as the “Applicable Rate.”

In the event this Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Company other than for Cause, notwithstanding such termination or nonrenewal, the Advisor shall be entitled to continue to receive annual Asset Management Fees, if earned, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(a) and Section 11(b).

(b) Asset Management Catch-Up Fee.

(i) If, upon the liquidation of the Company and the Operating Partnership, both the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for the period (the “Holding Period”) from the date Invested Capital was initially invested in the Company through the completion of the liquidation of the Company and the Operating Partnership, as calculated based on the Liquidation NAV, is greater than 2.0% and less than 5.0%, the Operating Partnership shall pay the Advisor an Asset Management Catch-Up Fee equal to, for each calendar year (or such other applicable period) during the Holding Period: (x) the difference, if any, between 0.5% and the Applicable Rate for such calendar year (or such other applicable period), multiplied by (y) the Liquidation NAV.

(ii) If, upon the liquidation of the Company and the Operating Partnership, both the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for the Holding Period, as calculated based on the Liquidation NAV, is equal to or greater than 5.0%, the Operating Partnership shall pay the Advisor an Asset Management Catch-Up Fee equal to, for each calendar year (or such other applicable period) during the Holding Period: (x) the difference, if any, between 1.0% and the Applicable Rate for such calendar year (or such other applicable period), multiplied by (y) the Liquidation NAV.

In the event that the QDII Average Annual Return and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for the Holding Period differ to a degree which would result in the application of different Asset Management Catch-Up Fee calculations pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) and 6(b)(ii) above (e.g., if the QDII Average Annual Return for the Holding Period is between 2.0% and 5.0% and the US L.P. Average Annual Return for the Holding Period is greater than 5.0%), then the lesser average annual return amount will be used for all purposes to determine the amount of the Asset Management Catch-Up Fee payable.

In the event this Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Company other than for Cause, notwithstanding such termination or nonrenewal, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive an Asset Management Catch-Up Fee, if earned, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(b) and Section 11(b).

(c) Proration. In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Asset Management Fee and the Asset Management Catch-Up-Fee will be calculated and due and payable after the calculation of NAV as of the Termination Date. If the fees are payable with respect to any partial calendar month or calendar year (a “Partial Period”), the fee will be prorated based on the number of days during such Partial Period.

(d) The Advisor will deposit the Asset Management Fees and Asset Management Catch-Up Fees it is paid pursuant to this Section 6 and any promote interest or other distribution it may be paid by the Operating Partnership pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership into such accounts as the QDII Investor and the U.S. LP or their respective Affiliates may respectively designate, for review and eventual remittance back to the Advisor.

(vi) personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services hereunder, 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 the Advisor will not seek reimbursement for personnel costs of individuals who serve as executive officers of the Company;

(vii) expenses incurred by managers, officers, personnel and agents of the Advisor for travel on the Company’s behalf and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by managers, officers, personnel and agents of the Advisor in connection with the purchase, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of an investment or establishment and maintenance of any of the Company’s securities offerings;

(xv) all other expenses actually incurred by the Advisor (except as otherwise specified herein) which are reasonably necessary for the performance by the Advisor of its duties and functions under this Agreement.

The Advisor shall prepare a written statement in reasonable detail documenting the costs and expenses of the Company and those incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company during each month, and shall deliver such written statement to the Company within thirty (30) days after the end of each month. The Company shall pay all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 7(b) within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the written statement without demand, deduction, offset or delay. Cost and expense reimbursement to the Advisor shall be subject to adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement to the extent such expenses have previously been incurred or are incurred in connection with such expiration or termination.

Section 8. Limits of the Advisor’s Responsibility.

(a) The Advisor 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 Advisor, including as set forth in the Investment Guidelines. The Advisor and its Affiliates and members, and the directors, officers, employees and stockholders of the Advisor and its Affiliates and members, will not be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary, the Board, the Company’s stockholders or any Subsidiary’s stockholders or partners for any acts or omissions by the Advisor or its officers, employees or Affiliates performed in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of acts or omission constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard of their respective duties under this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor, its Affiliates and members, and the directors, officers, employees and stockholders of the Advisor and its Affiliates (each, an “Advisor 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”), to the extent such Losses are not fully reimbursed by

insurance, in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Advisor Indemnified Party performed in good faith under this Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of duties of such Advisor Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

(b) The Advisor shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership and the directors, officers and stockholders of the Company and each Person, if any, controlling the Company (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”; an Advisor Indemnified Party and a Company Indemnified Party are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of the Advisor constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard of duties of the Advisor performed under this Agreement or (ii) any claims by the Advisor’s employees relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Advisor.

(c) 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 or defense of such Claim and shall specifically state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section; 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. 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 succeeding sentence of this Section, 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 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.

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

Section 9. No Joint Venture. The Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Advisor or its Affiliates and members on the other hand are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

The Board will review this Agreement and the qualifications and performance of the Advisor annually in connection with the renewal of this Agreement.

(b) No later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Automatic Renewal Term, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, the Company may, without cause, deliver written notice to the Advisor informing it of the Company’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time for cause pursuant to Section 10(d) hereof.

(c) No later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Automatic Renewal Term, the Advisor may, without cause, deliver written notice to the Company informing it of the Advisor’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice.

(d) The Company may terminate this Agreement effective upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice from the Company to the Advisor for Cause. The Advisor may terminate this Agreement effective upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company in the event that the Company shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30-day period.

(e) The provisions of Section 3(b), Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, Section 11 and Section 13 of this Agreement shall survive a nonrenewal or termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.

Section 11. Payments To and Duties of Advisor Upon Termination.

(a) Upon any termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive within 30 days after the Termination Date all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all unpaid fees due and payable to the Advisor prior to the Termination Date.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Company other than for Cause, notwithstanding such termination or nonrenewal, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive any Asset Management Fees and Asset Management Catch-Up Fees to which it would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement. Any such fees shall be paid by the Operating Partnership to the Advisor in accordance with the terms of Section 6, as and when they are earned pursuant to the terms of Section 6.

(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 with respect to the Company and any Subsidiaries;

(iii) deliver to the Board all property and documents of the Company and any Subsidiaries then in the custody of the Advisor; and

(iv) reasonably cooperate with the Company in executing an orderly transition of the management of the Company’s business to a new advisor.

Section 12. Assignments.

This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate only with the prior written approval of the Board. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.
