ARTICLE VII

OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR

Section 7.1 General. 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 Advisory Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. 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 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.

Section 7.2 Policy with Respect to Allocation of Investment Opportunities. Before the Advisor presents an investment opportunity that would in its judgment be suitable for the Company to another Advisor-sponsored program, the Advisor shall determine in its sole discretion that the investment opportunity is more suitable for such other program than for the Company based on factors such as the following: the investment objectives and criteria of each program; the cash requirements and anticipated cash flow of each entity; the size of the investment opportunity; the effect of the acquisition on diversification of each entity’s investments; the income tax consequences of the purchase on each entity; the policies of each program relating to leverage; the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is, in the sole discretion of the Advisor, equally suitable for both the Company and another Advisor-sponsored program, then the Advisor may offer the other program the investment opportunity if it has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity. The Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to fairly allocate investment opportunities in accordance with such allocation method and will promptly disclose any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new policy, which shall be allowed provided (a) the Board is provided with notice of such policy at least 60 days prior to such policy becoming effective and (b) such policy provides for the reasonable allocation of investment opportunities among such programs. The Advisor shall provide the Independent Directors with any information reasonably requested so that the Independent Directors can ensure that the allocation of investment opportunities is applied fairly. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Advisor or an Affiliate from pursuing an investment opportunity directly rather than offering it to the Company or another Advisor-sponsored program so long as the Advisor is fulfilling its obligation to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company. If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of a property or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the Board of Directors and the Advisor, to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity which committed to make the investment, however, the Advisor has the right to agree that the other entity affiliated with the Advisors or its Affiliates may make the investment.

ARTICLE VIII

LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES

Anything else in this Advisory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Stock or its other Securities, or (d) violate the Charter or Bylaws, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its members, managers, officers and employees, and stockholders, directors members, managers, officers and employees of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or to the Board or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its members, managers, officers or employees, or stockholders, directors, members, managers, officers or employees of the Advisor’s Affiliates except as provided in this Advisory Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

FEES

Section 9.1 Acquisition Fees. The Company will pay the Advisor, as compensation for the services described in Section 4.2, Acquisition Fees in an amount up to 2.5% of the Contract Purchase Price of each Property at the time and in respect of funds expended for the acquisition or development of a Property. The total of all Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses shall be limited in accordance with the Charter.

Section 9.2 Asset Management Fee. Commencing on the date hereof, the Company shall pay the Advisor an Asset Management Fee in an amount up to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the Average Invested Assets, calculated on a monthly basis as of the last day of each month for the asset management services included in the services described in Section 4.3.

Section 9.3 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive at closing a Disposition Fee of up to 3% of the Contract Sales Price of such Property or Properties. Any Disposition Fee payable under this section may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Property shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property. The Company will pay the Disposition Fee for a Property at the time the Property is sold.

Section 9.4 Subordinated Share of Net Sale Proceeds. The Subordinated Share of Net Sale Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor at the time or times that the Company determines that the Subordinated Share of Net Sale Proceeds has been earned by the Advisor, provided that no Subordinated Share of Net Sale Proceeds will be paid if the Company has paid or is obligated to pay the Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing. In the case of multiple advisors, advisors and Affiliates shall be allowed incentive fees in accordance with the foregoing limitation, provided such fees are

distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to the Company’s Assets by each respective advisor or Affiliate.

Section 9.5 Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing. Upon Listing, and as soon as practicable following the determination of Market Value, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing shall be due and payable to the Advisor no earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days after Listing (the “Valuation Date”) in the form of a promissory note at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points (the “Listing Fee Note”). In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing is paid to the Advisor following Listing, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive any payments of Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination or Subordinated Share of Net Sale Proceeds following receipt of the Subordinated Incentive Fee Due Upon Listing. The Company shall repay the Listing Fee Note at such time as the Company completes the first Sale or refinancing of a Property held at the Valuation Date using Cash from Sales or Cash from Financings in an amount equal to the value such Property contributed to the Listing Fee Note. If such amount is insufficient to pay the Listing Fee Note in full, then the Listing Fee Note shall be paid in part from the Cash from Sales from the first Sale or Cash from Financings from the first refinancing of a Property held at the Valuation Date, and in part from the Cash from Sales from each successive Sale or Cash from Financings from each successive refinancing of Properties held at the Valuation Date in an amount equal to the value such Properties contributed to the Listing Fee Note until the Listing Fee Note is repaid in full. If the Listing Fee Note has not been paid in full within three (3) years after the Valuation Date, then the holder of the Listing Fee Note, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee into Common Stock at a price per share equal to the average closing price of the shares of Common Stock over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such election if the Common Stock is Listed at such time.

Section 9.6 Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors they deem relevant, including, but not limited to: (a) the amount of the advisory fee in relation to the asset value, composition and profitability of the Company’s portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same or similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the REIT or by others with whom the REIT does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of the REIT, including income, conversion or appreciation of capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and (g) the quality of the Property portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The new fee structure can be no more favorable to the Advisor than the current fee structure.

(b) The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter (commencing four fiscal quarters after the Company’s acquisition of its first real estate asset) Operating Expenses that, in 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 NASAA Net Income (the “Excess Expense Guidelines”) for such year unless a majority of the Independent Directors determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient. If a majority of the Independent Directors 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 a majority of the Independent Directors 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 Excess Expense Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the a majority of the Independent Directors, shall send to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors that a majority of the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified.
