compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Board, in the manner required under the Governing Instruments or the Operating Partnership Agreement and subject to any limitations contained in the Governing
Instruments and Operating Partnership Agreement, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 13.
REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. 
 (a) The Company and the Operating Partnership shall not reimburse the Advisor
at the end of any fiscal quarter for Total Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceeded (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2.0% of Average Invested Assets or 25.0% of
Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Board determines, in the manner required by the Governing Instruments, that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Board deems sufficient.
If the Board does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or the Operating Partnership. If the Board determines such excess was justified, then,
within sixty (60) days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Board, shall cause such fact
to be disclosed to the Shareholders or Partners, as appropriate, in writing, together with an explanation of the factors the Board considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will
be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computations shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. 

14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. 

(a) Relationship. 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 its Affiliates; nor shall this
Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or security holder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation,
firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. The Advisor may, with respect to any Investment in which the Company or the Operating Partnership is a participant, also render advice and service to other
participants therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. 
 (b) Time Commitment. The Advisor shall,
and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company and the Operating Partnership such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company and Operating
Partnership in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in
activities unrelated to the Company and Operating Partnership and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or the Operating Partnership. 

  
 Adopted by the Board of
Trustees

present to the Company and the Operating Partnership a number of potential investment opportunities appropriate for the portfolio of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Advisor shall allocate potential investment opportunities in
accordance with the Advisor’s or its Affiliate’s allocation policies, as such allocation policies may be amended from time to time. 

15. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES/NO PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE. The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and
the Advisor on the other, 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 or impose any liability as such on either of them. 

16. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one (1) year from the Effective Date, subject
to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Board to evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no
more than one year. 
 17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) immediately by the Company or
the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor or upon a material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor; provided, that such material breach is not capable of being cured or has not been cured within thirty
(30) days after the giving of notice thereof by the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Advisor; (ii) upon sixty (60) days written notice without Cause by a majority of the Independent Trustee of the Board; or (iii) upon
sixty (60) days written notice by the Advisor. The provisions of Sections 19 through 23 survive termination of this Agreement. 

18. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of the Board, in
accordance with any requirements of the Governing Instruments. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Board. 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 corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is a successor to all
of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership
are bound by this Agreement. 
 19. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION. 

(a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it
shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date all unpaid reimbursements of Expenses, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable, and all Management
Fees earned but unpaid prior to termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its Expenses to which it is then entitled under Section 19(a); 

(ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of

their governing documents, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees (the “Indemnitees,” and each an
“Indemnitee”), from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable hourly attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or

21. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from
contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses, including reasonable hourly 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 bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board
for which the Board declined to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor to the Board prior to taking such action. 
 22.
NON-SOLICITATION. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending one year following the Termination Date, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or
indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Advisor or its Affiliates, or (ii) hire, on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership, any person who has left the employ of the
Advisor or its Affiliates within the one year period following the termination of that person’s employment. During this same period, the Company and the Operating Partnership will not, whether for their own account or for the account of any
other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year
period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.
