Acquisition Fee. The Company will pay the Advisor, as compensation for the services described in Section 4.3, Acquisition Fees in an amount equal to 1.0% of (a) the Contract Purchase Price of each Property acquired by
the Company, including any debt attributable to the Property, plus amounts incurred for the development, construction or other capital improvements, or (b) the funds advanced in respect of a loan or other investment. The purchase price
allocable for a Property held through a Joint Venture shall equal the product of (i) the Contract Purchase Price of the Property and (ii) the direct or indirect ownership percentage in the Joint Venture held directly or indirectly by the
Company or the Operating Partnership. For purposes of this Section 9.1, “ownership percentage” shall be the percentage of capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other equity interests held by the Company or the
Operating Partnership, without regard to classification of such interests. The total of all Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses shall be limited in accordance with the Charter. 

9.2 Asset Management Fee. Commencing on the date hereof, for the asset management services included in the services
described in Section 4.4(a), the Company shall pay the Advisor a monthly Asset Management Fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the Average Invested Assets. The Advisor may elect to receive
the Asset Management Fee, in whole or in part, in OP Units or Stock. 
 9.3 Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or any of
its Affiliates 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 in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 1% of the Contract Sales Price or (b) 50% of the Competitive Real Estate Commission. 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 or the Operating Partnership 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 or the Operating Partnership will pay the Disposition Fee for a
property at the time the property is sold. 
 9.4 Development Fee. For each Property under development that is not
wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by either the Company or the Operating Partnership (e.g., a Joint Venture), the Advisor or its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive from such Joint Venture or other such
co-ownership entity a market-based Development Fee equal to the amount that would be payable to an unaffiliated third-party for development of a similar property in the same geographic region, which
Development Fee may be reallowed to a third party developer. 
 9.5 Loans from Affiliates. If any loans are made to the
Company by the Advisor or an Affiliate, the rate of interest that may be charged by the Advisor or such Affiliate shall be no less favorable to the Company than the terms available between non-Affiliated
