for the following costs and expenses:

Advisor and Sub-advisor shall reimburse the Company for such excess within 60 days; and, solely in the instance that Organization
and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Company exceed the above limit, the Sub-advisor shall review the invoices submitted to

Article 8 


 


Relationship of Sub-advisor and Advisor
and their Affiliates;

Other Activities of the Advisor and Sub-advisor


 


		8.1	Relationship. The Advisor and the Sub-advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Except as set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, nothing
herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or Sub-advisor 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 Sub-advisor, respectively, or any of their Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict
the right of any manager, director, officer, member, partner, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or Sub-advisor or their Affiliates
to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Sub-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 other similar co-investment arrangements, the Advisor or the Sub-advisor may be engaged to provide advice and
service to such Persons, in which case, the Advisor or the Sub-advisor, as applicable, will earn fees for rendering such advice
and service. Each of the Advisor and the Sub-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
its obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Persons (it being understood and agreed that
the conditions and circumstances referred to in the second paragraph of Section 8.4(A) hereof are deemed to have been disclosed
to the Board for purposes of this Section 8.1).



 




    	8



    	 



    

 


		8.2	Time Commitment. The Sub-advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and
agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company
in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party and its Affiliates
and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services
to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.



 


		8.3	Advisor and Sub-advisor Meetings. Representatives of the Parties shall meet on a quarterly basis ( in person or by phone)
to discuss and consult with one another regarding the Company and its assets and opportunities. Additionally, the Advisor and the
Sub-advisor shall cause their respective principals to meet (in person or by phone) with representatives of each other upon the
request of either Party. The Parties will provide each other information regarding the operations and acquisitions of the Company
as reasonably requested by the other. Each of the Advisor and the Sub-advisor shall have direct access to the books and records
of the Company and of each attorney, accountant, servicer and other contracting party of the Company (notwithstanding the fact
that such attorney represents either Party with respect to this Agreement).



 


		8.4	Investment Opportunities and Allocation.



 


		(A)	The Sub-advisor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to present investment opportunities to the Company that are consistent
with the investment policies and objectives of the Company set forth in the “Investment Objectives and Criteria” section
of the Prospectus.



 


		(B)	So long as the Sub-advisor is acting in its capacity as sub-advisor under this Agreement, the Sub-advisor will not (and will
cause its Affiliates to not) (i) pursue any opportunity to acquire a Primary Target Investment from any third-party, or (ii) act
as a finder’s agent for or otherwise source the opportunity to acquire a Primary Target Investment for a third party (each
such opportunity in clause (i) or (ii) being a “First Offer Opportunity”) without first offering such First
Offer Opportunity to the Company in writing (the “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall set forth the terms
on which the seller is willing to sell such First Offer Opportunity together with any other material details customarily set forth
in the acquisition materials for an asset similar to the asset that is the subject of the First Offer Opportunity. The Company
shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of the Offer Notice to notify the Sub-advisor of the Company's decision as to whether
or not to pursue such First Offer Opportunity. If the Company fails to notify the Sub-advisor of its election within such 30-day
period, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such First Offer Opportunity. If the Company rejects (or is deemed to
have rejected) such First Offer Opportunity, then the Sub-advisor and/or any of its Affiliates shall be free to pursue such First
Offer Opportunity (on its own or with other third-party investors), or offer such First Offer Opportunity to a third-party, in
each case, for a period of 180 days on terms and conditions (including price) that are not materially different from the terms
and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice to the Company. If, at the expiration of such 180-day period, such First Offer Opportunity
is not the subject of a binding contract or letter of intent, then the provisions of this Section 8.4(B) shall once again apply
to such First Offer Opportunity. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.4(B) shall only apply to the acquisition of a Primary
Target Investment being sold by a party unaffiliated with the Sub-advisor and its Affiliates and shall not be interpreted or construed
as applying to the sale or disposition of any Primary Target Investment by the Sub-advisor or any of its Affiliates.



 




    	9



    	 



    

 


		(C)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right of first offer set forth in Section 8.4(B) shall not
apply to: (i) the acquisition of any Primary Target Investment by an Affiliate of the Sub-advisor from another Affiliate of the
Sub-advisor; and (ii) the offer of the opportunity to acquire a Primary Target Investment by an Affiliate of the Sub-advisor to
Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc., except as contemplated in the Investment Allocation Agreement by and among
the Company, the Sub-advisor and Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. dated as of the date of this Agreement.



 


		(D)	This Section 8.4 shall terminate and cease to be effective upon (i) any termination of this Agreement or (ii) the later
of (y) termination of the Offering Period and (z) the date on which all equity raised during the Offering Period has been substantially
invested or committed to investment.



 


		(E)	The Company is a third-party beneficiary of the terms and conditions of this Section 8.4 and shall have the right to directly
enforce such provisions against the Sub-advisor.



 


		(F)	Except as provided in Section 8.4(B), none of the Sub-advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated generally
to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company, whether contemplated in the “Investment Objectives and Criteria”
section of the Prospectus or otherwise.



 


		8.5	Prospectus Guidance. Sub-advisor has read and will abide by the Prospectus with respect to (i) the Company’s investment
objectives, targeted assets, investment restrictions, targeted markets and borrowing policies set forth in the “Investment
Objectives and Criteria” section of the Prospectus and (ii) the Company’s distribution policy set forth in the “Description
of Securities – Distribution Policy and Distributions” section of the Prospectus, except to the extent otherwise directed
by the Board.

to cause the Company, subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, to enter into the Dealer Manager Agreement
with the Dealer Manager on terms consistent with the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus.


 


Article 10 


 


The Phillips Edison and ARC Names


 


The Parties acknowledge and reaffirm the
rights and obligations set forth with respect to their proprietary interests in their respective names as set forth in Sections

Article 12 


 


Certain Transfers


 


		12.1	Transfers. The Parties have selected one another based on the experience and personnel of each other and their Affiliates.
Accordingly, each Party agrees that it is mutually desirable to restrict changes in ownership of each Party. Each Party agrees
to amend, to the extent necessary, its governing documents to restrict transferability of any controlling interest in such Party
by such Party’s Key Persons unless both Parties jointly agree as otherwise permitted by this Article 12. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any transfer of an interest in either Party by any of such Party’s Key Persons, by any entity controlled by
a Key Person of such Party or by any Immediate Family Member of a Key Person of such Party shall be permitted without any approval
so long as (i) the transferee of such interest is an Immediate Family Member of a Key Person of such Party, and (ii) one or more
of the Key Persons of such Party retain management and voting control over such interest held by such transferee at all times after
the applicable transfer occurs.



 


		12.2	Prohibited Transfers.



 


		(A)	Except for Permitted Transfers and other transfers made in accordance with, and as permitted by, this Agreement, neither Party
(1) will allow any direct or indirect transfer of controlling interests therein by its applicable Key Persons, and (2) will directly
or indirectly transfer any part of its direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company (if any), whether in each such case
voluntarily or by foreclosure, assignment in lieu thereof or other enforcement of a pledge, hypothecation or collateral assignment
without the prior approval of the other Party.



 


		(B)	“Permitted Transfer” (for which no approval by the other Party shall be required) means either of the following:



 


		(1)	any transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in the Company held by a Party (if any) to any Affiliate
of such Party; provided, however, that in each such case the transferee executes an instrument agreeing to be bound
by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent applicable to the transferor; and



 




    	11



    	 



    

 


		(2)	any transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in a Party held, directly or indirectly, by such Party’s
Key Persons or Immediate Family Members; provided, however, that either (a) either or both of such Party’s
Key Persons remain involved with the material decision-making and actions of such Party for the applicable Transfer Restriction
Period (for the sake of clarity, after the applicable Transfer Restriction Period, each Party is permitted to allow the
effecting of a transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in such Party without regard to the continued
involvement of such Party’s Key Persons) or (b) in the case of the Advisor, the transfer occurs after the Offering Period
and the applicable transferee agrees to cede any decision-making and governance authority relating to the Company (including making
Major Decisions) to the Sub-advisor.
