Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


Moody National Advisor I, LLC (the “Advisor”), Moody National Operating Partnership I, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), Moody Realty Company, L.P. and Moody National REIT I, Inc. (the “REIT”) are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009 (as subsequently amended, the “Advisory Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined have the respective meanings given to them in the Advisory Agreement.


 



	
1.

	
Waiver of Asset Management Fee.







 


            Pursuant to Section 9(e) of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an “Asset Management Fee” in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all investments the REIT owns, including acquisition fees, origination fees, acquisition origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. The Advisor may elect to waive the payment of the Asset Management Fee in any month pursuant to a waiver executed by each of the parties to the Advisory Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 27 of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor hereby irrevocably waives the Asset Management Fee due to the Advisor from the REIT for the months of January 2013, February 2013 and March 2013.


 


 2.           Waiver of Reimbursable Expenses.


 


            Pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to reimbursement by the REIT for all of the Total Operating Expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the REIT and the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Advisory Agreement; provided, however, the REIT shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income for such year.  Pursuant to Section 27 of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor hereby irrevocably waives all expenses reimbursable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 (“Waiver Period”) to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed to the Advisor as of the date hereof.   The Advisor further acknowledges that all expenses incurred directly by the REIT and incurred by the Advisor on the REIT’s behalf during the Waiver Period shall be paid by the Advisor on behalf of the REIT.

3.           Continuing Obligation to Reimburse Organization and Offering Expenses.


 


For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of the obligation of the REIT to reimburse the Advisor and its Affiliates for Organization and Offering Expenses.


 


4.           Ratification; Effect on Advisory Agreement.


 


(a)              Ratification.  The Advisory Agreement, as amended by this letter agreement, shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

5.            Miscellaneous.


 


(a)           Governing Law.  This letter agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland.

(e)           Counterparts.  This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
