1)
	
Expense Support.  Beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing until terminated as provided herein, the Advisor shall provide expense support to the Company through forgoing the payment of fees in cash and acceptance of Restricted Stock for services as provided herein, in an amount equal to the positive excess, if any, of (a) aggregate stockholder cash distributions paid in the applicable quarter, over (b) the Company’s aggregate MFFO for the same period (the “Expense Support Amount”).  The Expense Support Amount shall be determined for each calendar quarter of the Company, on a non-cumulative basis, with each such quarter-end date, a “Determination Date”. The Expense Support Amount will be credited by the Advisor to the Company in satisfaction of Asset Management Fees and other fees and expenses owed to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, at the Advisor’s discretion. 





	
2)
	
Grant of Restricted Stock.  In exchange for services rendered under the Advisory Agreement and in consideration of the expense support provided by the Advisor as set forth in Section 1, the Company shall issue to the Advisor, within forty-five (45) days following each Determination Date that is other than December 31 of a calendar year and within ninety (90) days following each Determination Date that is December 31 of a calendar year, a number of Class A Common Shares (the “Restricted Stock”) equal to the quotient of (A) the Expense Support Amount for the preceding quarter divided by (B) the Board’s most recent determination of net asset value per share of the Class A Common Shares, if the Board has made such a determination, or otherwise the most recent public offering price per Class A Common Share, on the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 





	
3)
	
Vesting; Forfeiture.  For purposes of the vesting provisions below, each share of Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Board’s most recent determination of net asset value per share of the Class A Common Shares, unless the Board has not made such a determination, in which case each share of Restricted Stock  shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Board’s most recent 




 



 


		
determination of net asset value per share of the Class A Common Shares, if the Board has made such a determination, or otherwise the most recent public offering price per Class A Common Share. 




(a)Liquidity Event.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), below, the Restricted Stock shall vest immediately prior to or upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event in which, and only to the extent by which, (A) the sum of (i) the Liquidity Event Consideration, or other value attributable to the Common Shares of the Stockholders as a result of the Liquidity Event, plus (ii) total Distributions declared from the Company’s inception through the effective date of the Liquidity Event, exceeds (B) the sum of (i) Invested Capital, plus (ii) the total Distributions required to pay a Priority Return to the Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the effective date of the Liquidity Event.  All issued and outstanding shares of Restricted Stock that do not so vest in connection with a Liquidity Event shall be immediately and permanently forfeited.

(b)Termination of the Advisory Agreement.

(1)Without Cause.  In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Company without Cause prior to a Liquidity Event, the Restricted Stock will immediately vest as of the effective date of such termination (an “Undue Termination”), provided that, and only to the extent by which, (A) the sum of (i) Board’s most recent determination of net asset value per share of the Common Shares multiplied by the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding and held of record by the Stockholders (computed with respect to separate classes of Common Shares as applicable), plus (ii) total Distributions declared with respect to Common Shares from the Company’s inception through the effective date of the Undue Termination, exceeds (B) the sum of (i) Invested Capital, plus (ii) the total Distributions required to pay a Priority Return to the Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the effective date of the Undue Termination.  If the Board has not determined a net asset value per share of the Common Shares at the time of an Undue Termination, then the foregoing vesting will be calculated and occur immediately upon the Board’s determination of a net asset value per share of the Common Shares or, if a Liquidity Event occurs first, then the vesting will be calculated and occur pursuant to Section 3(a).  All issued and outstanding shares of Restricted Stock that do not so vest in connection with an Undue Termination of the Advisor shall be immediately and permanently forfeited. 

(2)For Cause.  In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Company for Cause prior to a Liquidity Event, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Restricted Stock shall be immediately and permanently forfeited.

(3)Without Good Reason.  In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Advisor without Good Reason prior to a Liquidity Event, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Restricted Stock shall be immediately and permanently forfeited. 

(4)With Good Reason.  In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated or not renewed by the Advisor with Good Reason prior to a Liquidity Event, the Restricted Stock will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3(a).

(c)The Board’s good faith determination of the excess amount over the thresholds, and the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(b)(1), above, shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

All dividends or other distributions actually paid to the Advisor in connection with the Restricted Stock shall vest immediately and will not be subject to forfeiture.  

b)The Company may issue stock certificates or evidence the Advisor's interest by using a restricted book entry account with the Company's transfer agent. Physical possession or custody of any stock certificates that are issued shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Restricted Stock represented by such stock certificates vests.

c)If the Restricted Stock is forfeited in accordance with Sections 3, 4 or 5 of this Agreement, the Advisor shall, on the date of such forfeiture, no longer be the record owner of the Restricted Stock, no longer have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock and shall no longer be entitled to vote or receive dividends or other distributions on such shares.
