ON ACTIVITIES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in
its sole judgment, or in the sole judgment of the Company, made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company
as a REIT, unless the Board has determined that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders,
(b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of
policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Shares, or otherwise
not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation 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.


 


10.            FEES.


 


(a)          Acquisition
Fee. Subject to Section 10(b), the Company will pay to the Advisor or its Affiliates (i) one percent (1.0%) of the
Contract Purchase Price of each Real Estate Asset acquired (including the Company’s pro rata share (direct or indirect) of
debt attributable to such Real Estate Asset), or (ii) one percent (1.0%) of the amount advanced for a Loan or other Investment
(other than the acquisition of a Real Estate Asset) (including the Company’s pro rata share (direct or indirect) of debt
attributable to such Investment), as applicable. The Company shall pay to the Advisor or its Affiliates the Acquisition Fee promptly
upon the closing of the Investment. If the Advisor is terminated without Cause pursuant to Section 17(a), the Advisor or
its Affiliates shall be entitled to an Acquisition Fee for any Investments acquired after the Termination Date for which a contract
to acquire any such Investment had been entered into at or prior to the Termination Date. In the case of an Investment made through
a Joint Venture, the Acquisition Fee shall be calculated based on the direct or indirect ownership percentage in the Joint Venture
held by the Company or the Operating Partnership. For purposes of this Section 10(a), “ownership percentage”
means 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 equity interests.


 




    	11



    	 



    

 


(b)          Limitation
on Total Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees and Acquisition Expenses; Reinvestments. In no event will the total
of all Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable with respect to a particular Investment be
unreasonable or exceed (i) five percent (5.0%) of the Contract Purchase Price of each Real Estate Asset (including the Company’s
pro rata share (direct or indirect) of debt attributable to such Real Estate Asset), or (ii) five percent (5.0%) of the amount
advanced for a Loan or other Investment (other than the acquisition of a Real Estate Asset) (including the Company’s pro
rata share (direct or indirect) of debt attributable to such Investment), as applicable. In addition, if during the period ending
two years after the close of the initial Offering, the Company sells an Investment and then reinvests in other Investments, the
Company will pay to the Advisor or its Affiliates, as applicable, any Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees in respect
of such other Investments, and will reimburse the Advisor for any Acquisition Expenses in respect of such other Investments of
the Advisor or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that in no event shall the total of all Acquisition Fees,
Financing Coordination Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable in respect of such reinvestment be unreasonable or exceed (x) five
percent (5.0%) of the Contract Purchase Price of each Real Estate Asset acquired (including the Company’s pro rata share
(direct or indirect) of debt attributable to such Real Estate Asset), or (y) five percent (5.0%) of the amount advanced for a Loan
or other Investment (other than the acquisition of a Real Estate Asset) (including the Company’s pro rata share (direct or
indirect) of debt attributable to such Investment), as applicable. Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary in this Section
10(b), a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction
may approve fees and expenses in excess of the limits set forth in this Section 10(b) if they determine the transaction
to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.


 


(c)          Real
Estate Disposition Commission. For substantial services in connection with the Sale of a Real Estate Asset, the Company
will pay the Advisor or any of its Affiliates a Real Estate Disposition Commission in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half
of the Competitive Real Estate Commission in respect of such Real Estate Asset and (ii) two percent (2.0%) of the Contract Sales
Price of such Real Estate Asset; provided, however, that the real estate commissions paid to the Advisor, its Affiliates
and non-Affiliates in respect of such Real Estate Asset shall not exceed the lesser of six percent (6.0%) of the Contract Sales
Price or the Competitive Real Estate Commission in respect of such Real Estate Asset. The Independent Directors will determine
whether the Advisor or its Affiliates have provided a substantial amount of services to the Company in connection with the Sale
of a Real Estate Asset. A substantial amount of services in connection with the Sale of a Real Estate Asset includes the preparation
by the Advisor or its Affiliates of an investment package for the Real Estate Asset (including an investment analysis, an asset
description and other due diligence information) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor or its Affiliates
in connection with a Sale.


 


(d)          Asset
Management Fee. Beginning on the date on which the initial Offering has ended and the Company has invested substantially
all the net proceeds therefrom, the Company shall pay the Advisor or its assignees a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of
seventy-five hundredths percent (0.75%) of the Average Invested Assets, calculated and payable on the first Business Day of each
month.


 




    	12



    	 



    

 


(e)          Financing
Coordination Fee. If the Advisor provides services in connection with the financing of an Asset, assumption of any loan
in connection with the acquisition of an Asset or origination or refinancing of any loan on an Asset, the Company will pay the
Advisor or its assignees a Financing Coordination Fee equal to seventy-five hundredths percent (0.75%) of the amount available
or outstanding under such financing. The Advisor may reallow some of or all the Financing Coordination Fee to reimburse third parties
with whom it may subcontract to procure such financing.


 


(f)          Annual
Subordinated Performance Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor an Annual Subordinated Performance Fee calculated on the
basis of the Company’s annual return to holders of Common Shares, payable annually in arrears in any year in which holders
of Common Shares receive payment of a six percent (6%) annual cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on their respective Net
Investments, in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the amount in excess of such six percent (6%) per annum return; provided,
that the Annual Subordinated Performance Fee shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate return for such year; and provided,
further, that the Annual Subordinated Performance Fee will not be paid unless holders of Common Shares receive a return
of their respective Net Investments. The Annual Subordinated Performance Fee shall be payable only from realized appreciation in
Assets upon their Sale or refinancing.


 


(g)          Subordinated
Participation Interests. Prior to the date on which the initial Offering has ended and the Company has invested substantially
all the net proceeds therefrom, the Company shall cause the Operating Partnership to periodically issue Subordinated Participation
Interests in the Operating Partnership to the Advisor or its assignees, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Operating
Partnership Agreement, in connection with the Advisor’s (or its assignees’) management of the Operating Partnership’s
assets.


 


11.           EXPENSES.


 


(a)          In
addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 10, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall
pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with
the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including the following:

invoices);


 


(ii)         Acquisition
Expenses, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10(b);


 


(iii)        the
actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not Affiliated with the Advisor;


 




    	13

(vi)        costs
associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;


 


(vii)       expenses
of managing and operating Investments owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-Affiliated
Person;


 


(viii)      all
expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Board and Stockholders;


 


(ix)         expenses
associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Shares, such as selling commissions and fees,
advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, Listing and registration fees;


 


(x)          expenses
connected with payments of Distributions;


 


(xi)         expenses
of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying or terminating the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary
thereof or the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or governing documents of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary of the Company
or the Operating Partnership;


 


(xii)        expenses
of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing annual reports and other
Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;


 


(xiii)       administrative
service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in fulfilling its duties hereunder,
including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services;
provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled
to compensation in the form of a separate fee; and


 


(xiv)      audit,
accounting and legal fees.


 


(b)          Commencing
twelve (12) months after the commencement of the initial Offering, the Company will reimburse the Advisor’s costs of providing
administrative services at the end of each fiscal quarter, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 13, and provided,
that the initial Offering has first broken escrow.


 


12.           OTHER
SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company
and the Operating Partnership other than as set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such
customary rates and in such customary amounts as are agreed upon by the Advisor and the Board, including a majority of the Independent
Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.


 




    	14



    	 



    

 


13.           REIMBURSEMENTS.
The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses incurred by the
Advisor for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of two
percent (2%) of Average Invested Assets and twenty-five percent (25%) of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”)
for such year. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter for which there is an Excess Amount which the Independent Directors
conclude was justified and reimbursable to the Advisor based on such unusual and non-recurring factors that the Independent Directors
deem sufficient, there shall be sent to the holders of Common Shares a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation
of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. If the Independent Directors
do not determine that excess expenses are justified, the Advisor shall reimburse the Corporation at the end of the twelve-month
period the amount by which the expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines.


 


14.           OTHER
ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.


 


(a)          Except
as set forth in this Section 14, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging
in or earning fees from other activities, including the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management
of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Sponsor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict
the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee or stockholder 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 and earn fees for rendering such
services; provided, however, that the Advisor must devote sufficient resources to the Company’s business to
discharge its obligations to the Company under this Agreement; and provided, further, however, that
before the Advisor and all Persons controlled by the Advisor may take advantage of an opportunity for their own account or present
or recommend it to others, they are obligated to present such opportunity to the Company if (i) such opportunity is compatible
with the Company’s investment objectives and policies, (ii) such opportunity is of a character which could be taken by the
Company, and (iii) the Company has the financial resources to take advantage of such opportunity. 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,
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 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.


 




    	15



    	 



    

 


(b)          If
an investment opportunity becomes available that is suitable for both the Company and a public or private entity with which the
Advisor or its Affiliates are affiliated for which both entities have sufficient uninvested funds, and the requirements of the
second proviso in Section 14(a) have been satisfied, then the entity that has had uninvested funds for the longest period
of time will first be offered the investment opportunity. An investment opportunity will not be considered suitable for an entity
if the 2%/25% Guidelines could not be satisfied if the entity were to make the investment. In determining whether or not an investment
opportunity is suitable for more than one entity, the Board and the Advisor will examine such factors, among others, as the cash
requirements of each entity, the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each entity’s investments by type of
property and geographic area and on diversification of the tenants of its properties, the policy of each entity relating to leverage
of properties, the anticipated cash flow of each entity, the income tax effects of the purchase to each entity, the size of the
investment and the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment.
If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of the acquisition of such investment or a delay in the construction
of a property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the Board and the Advisor, to be more appropriate for an entity other
than the entity that committed to make the investment, the Advisor may determine that the other entity affiliated with the Advisor
or its Affiliates will make the investment. It shall be the duty of the Board, including the Independent Directors, to ensure that
the method used by the Advisor for the allocation of the acquisition of investments by two or more affiliated programs seeking
to acquire similar types of assets is applied fairly to the Company.


 


15.           THE
LIGHTSTONE NAME. The Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the name “Lightstone.”
The Advisor hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Advisor may have in the name “Lightstone,”
a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Lightstone” during
the term of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Advisor and its Affiliates will have the right to approve any use by the
Company of the name “Lightstone,” such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition
of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for
the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of a written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or
use the name “Lightstone” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its
subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Lightstone” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable
discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any
its Affiliates. At such time, the Company also will make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to
remove any references to the word “Lightstone.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the
Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other
investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having the name
“Lightstone” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto)
by the Company. Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect
to the name “Lightstone” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including, without limitation, as to whether the use
of the name “Lightstone” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties). Notwithstanding
the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened
in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Lightstone.”

16.           TERM
OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date hereof. Thereafter, the term may
be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties.


 


17.           TERMINATION
BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated upon sixty (60) days’ prior written Notice (a) by the Independent Directors
of the Company or the Advisor, without Cause and without penalty, (b) by the Advisor for Good Reason, or (c) by the Advisor upon
a Change of Control; provided, that termination of this Agreement with Cause shall be upon forty-five (45) days’ prior
written Notice. The provisions of Sections 15 and 19 through 31 (inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive
any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.


 


18.           ASSIGNMENT
TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under
this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company
or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating
Partnership to a Person which is a successor to all the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership,
in which case such successor Person shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company
or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, is bound by this Agreement.


 


19.           PAYMENTS
TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.


 


(a)          Amounts
Owed. After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership
within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor, including
all its interest in the Company’s income, losses, distributions and capital by payment of an amount equal to the then-present
fair market value of the Advisor’s interest, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.


 


(b)          Advisor’s
Duties. The Advisor shall promptly upon termination of this Agreement:


 


(i)          pay
over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating
Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it
is then entitled;


 


(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;


 


(iii)        deliver
to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody
of the Advisor; and


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


(iv)        cooperate
with the Company, the Board and the Operating Partnership and take all reasonable steps requested to provide an orderly transition
of the advisory function.


 


20.           INCORPORATION
OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation
or the Operating Partnership Agreement impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which
are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to
the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein. To the extent that a provision of the
Articles of Incorporation conflicts with a provision of this Agreement, the provision of the Articles of Incorporation shall prevail.


 


21.           INDEMNIFICATION
BY THE COMPANY.


 


(a)          The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and every Affiliate of the Advisor (collectively, the “Indemnitees,”
and each, an “Indemnitee”), from all liabilities, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their
duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liabilities, claims, damages
or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be
inconsistent with the laws of the State of New York, the Articles of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA
REIT Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any loss
or liability suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability
suffered by the Company, unless all the following conditions are met:


 


(i)          the
Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest
of the Company;


 


(ii)         the
Indemnitee was acting on behalf of, or performing services for, the Company;


 


(iii)        such
liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and


 


(iv)        such
indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Stockholders.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of
an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following conditions is met:


 


(i)          there
has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


(ii)         such
claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or


 


(iii)        a
court of competent jurisdiction has approved a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and found 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 Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority
of a jurisdiction in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.


 


(c)          In
addition, the advancement of the Company’s funds to an Indemnitee for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred
in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all the following
conditions are satisfied:


 


(i)          the
proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company;


 


(ii)         the
Indemnitee provides the Company with a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification has been met;


 


(iii)        the
legal proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or, if the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting
in such Stockholder’s capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and


 


(iv)        the
Indemnitee provides the Company with a written undertaking to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable
legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.


 


22.           INDEMNIFICATION
BY THE ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all liabilities, claims, damages or losses,
and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liabilities, claims, damages or losses
and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however,
that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation
given by the Advisor.


 


23.           NOTICES.
Unless some other method of giving Notice is required by the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, any notice, report, approval,
waiver or other communication (each, a “Notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing

signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors or assignees.


 


25.          SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered

28.           NO
WAIVER. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this

preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any

with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted
