Article VII


OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR


 


Section
7.1           General. 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 any of its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer,
member, partner, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business
or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company or
the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary 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 and the Operating
Partnership and their subsidiaries may enter into Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons,
and pursuant to the agreements governing such Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment 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 promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which
it has knowledge, that creates or which would reasonably result in a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations
to the Company and the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.


 




    	 	12	 



     


    

 


Section 7.2           Policy
with Respect to Allocation of Investment Opportunities. During the term of this Agreement, the Advisor will use its reasonable
efforts to fairly allocate investment opportunities in accordance with the allocation methodology described in the Registration
Statement and will promptly disclose to the Company any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new policy,
which deviation or new policy shall be allowed provided (a) the Independent Directors are provided with notice of such deviation
or new policy at least 30 days prior to such deviation or new policy becoming effective, or such shorter period as the Independent
Directors may determine, and (b) such deviation or new policy provides for the reasonable allocation of investment opportunities
to the Company. The Advisor shall provide the Independent Directors with any information reasonably requested so that the Independent
Directors can ensure that the Advisor is fairly allocating investment opportunities. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent
the Advisor from pursuing an investment opportunity directly or offering it to another Advisor-sponsored program rather than offering
it to the Company so long as the Advisor is fulfilling its obligation to provide a continuing and suitable investment program to
the Company which is consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Company.


 


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 the Operating Partnership, or (d) violate the Charter,
the Bylaws or the Operating Partnership Agreement, 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, directors, officers and employees, and stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers and employees of
the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or the Operating Partnership or to the Board or Stockholders
for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees, or stockholders, directors or officers of the Advisor’s
Affiliates except as provided in this Advisory Agreement.

Article IX


FEES


 


Section
9.1           Acquisition Fees and Contingent Advisor Payment.


 


(a)          The
Company will pay the Advisor, as compensation for the services described in Section 4.2, acquisition fees (“Acquisition Fees”)
in an amount of 2.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of each Property.


 


(b)          The
Company will also pay the Advisor an additional contingent advisor payment in an amount up to 2.15% of the Contract Purchase Price
of each Property (such additional amount being the “Contingent Advisor Payment”), provided, however, that the amount
of the Contingent Advisor Payment paid upon the closing of an acquisition will be reviewed on an acquisition by acquisition basis
and such payment shall not exceed the then outstanding amounts paid by the Advisor for the Advisor Funding at the time of such
closing. For these purposes, the amounts paid by the Advisor and considered “outstanding” will be reduced by the amount
of the Contingent Advisor Payment previously paid.


 


(c)          The
Advisor may waive or defer all or a portion of the Acquisition Fee and the Contingent Advisor Payment at any time and from time
to time, in the Advisor’s sole discretion. The purchase price allocable for a Property held through a Joint Venture shall
equal the product of (a) the Contract Purchase Price of the Property and (b) 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. Acquisition Fees and the
Contingent Advisor Payment, as applicable, shall be payable on the acquisition of a specific Property, on the acquisition of a
portfolio of Properties through a purchase of assets, controlling securities or by a Joint Venture, by a merger or similar business
combination or other comparable transaction, or on the completion of a development of a Property for the Company.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 9.1(b), the Contingent Advisor Payment shall accrue and shall not be payable to the Advisor
until such time as the Advisor has funded the Advisor Funding in an amount equal to $4,500,000 (the “Contingent Advisor Investment
Amount”). The calculation of the Contingent Advisor Investment Amount shall include all amounts paid by the Sponsors and/or
the Advisor with respect to the Advisor Funding that are unreimbursed and outstanding. Once the Contingent Advisor Investment Amount
has been achieved, the Advisor will be entitled to any earned amounts of the Contingent Advisor Payment in excess of the Contingent
Advisor Investment Amount. In connection with a Follow-On Offering, the Contingent Advisor Investment Amount will be calculated
as 0.25% of the sum of (i) the primary maximum aggregate offering portion of such Follow-On Offering, plus (ii) the dollar amount
sold in the Company’s prior offerings. The Contingent Advisor Investment Amount will be paid to the Advisor by the Company
on the later of (a) the termination of the Initial Public Offering, including any Follow-On Offerings, or (b) ______________, 20__.


 


(e)          For
purposes of clarification of the purpose of the Contingent Advisor Payment, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that
the Contingent Advisor Payment not be considered revenue of the Advisor. Rather, the Contingent Advisor Payment is to be considered
a vehicle for funding, at the time of each Property acquisition, the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Sponsors and/or the Advisor
with respect to the Advisor Funding. Similarly, the payment of the Contingent Advisor Payment is not to be considered an expense
or a capitalized cost of the Company.


 


Section
9.2           Asset Management Fee. Commencing
on the date hereof, for the asset management services included in the services described in Section 4.3(a), the Company shall pay
the Advisor a monthly asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1% of
the Cost of Assets as of the last day of the preceding monthly period. The Advisor may elect to receive the Asset Management Fee,
in cash, OP Units, or Common Stock (or any combination thereof). The Asset
Management Fee will be appropriately prorated for any partial month.


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


Section
9.3           Disposition Fees. If the Advisor
or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Directors, including a majority of
the Independent Directors) in connection with a Liquidity Event, then the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive on the date of
the consummation of such Liquidity Event a fee (such amount being the “Disposition Fee”) in an amount equal to 2% of
the applicable Contract Sales Price; provided that the payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to any limitations
contained in the Charter. 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 Sale 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. For purposes of this Section 9.3,
“substantial amount of services” in connection with a Sale includes the preparation of an investment package for the
Property (including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental
report, a list of prospective buyers, a structural report and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates in connection with a Sale.

of the Independent Directors determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem

Directors, shall send to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact (or

determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. All figures used in the foregoing computation
shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT


 


To the extent that the

holders, members, partners and employees, 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, subject to any limitations imposed by the Charter, the laws of the
State of Maryland and the State of Delaware, as applicable, and only if all of the following conditions are met:


 


(a)          The
directors or the Advisor or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability
was in the best interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable;


 


(b)          The
Advisor or its Affiliates were 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 Advisor or its Affiliates; and

indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets, including insurance proceeds,
and not from its Stockholders.

or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving
alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits
by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement
of the claims against a particular 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 SEC and of the published
position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification
for violations of securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held
harmless pursuant to this Article XVIII for any activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the
Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to Article XIX.

Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates, or by any of
their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding only if (in addition to any applicable procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from
time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance
of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder
or, if by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and

of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR

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 gross negligence, bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, misconduct, or reckless disregard of its duties, but Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action
of the Board in declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.
