3.          Administration.


 


The Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except with respect
to the amendment, modification, suspension or early termination of the Plan, the Board may appoint a Committee to administer all
or a portion of the Plan. To the extent that the Board so delegates its authority, references herein to the Board shall be deemed
references to the Committee. The Board may delegate to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable,
and the Committee or any other person to whom the Board has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render
advice with respect to any responsibility the Board or such Committee or person may have under the Plan. No member of the Board
or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted
hereunder.


 


The Board shall have the authority in its discretion, subject
to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities
either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without
limitation, the authority to:


 


(i)          grant
Awards;


 


(ii)         determine
the persons to whom and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted;


 


(iii)        determine
the type and number of Awards to be granted, the number of Shares to which an Award may relate and the terms, conditions, restrictions
and performance criteria relating to any Award;


 


(iv)        determine
whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered;


 


(v)         make
adjustments in the terms and conditions of Awards;


 


(vi)        construe
and interpret the Plan and any Award;


 


(vii)       prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;


 


(viii)      determine
the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant); and


 


(ix)         make
all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations
of the Board shall be final and binding on all persons, including but not limited to the Trust, any parent or subsidiary of the
Trust, any Participant (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant) and any shareholder.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in the second paragraph of
Section 5, neither the Board nor the Committee may take any action which would have the effect of reducing the aggregate exercise,
base or purchase price of any Award without obtaining the approval of the Trust’s shareholders.

4.          Eligibility.


 


Awards may be granted, in the discretion of the Board, to trustees
of the Trust who are not officers of the Trust. In determining the persons to whom Awards shall be granted and the type of any
Award (including the number of shares to be covered by such Award), the Board shall take into account such factors as the Board
shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.


 


5.          Shares
Subject to the Plan.


 


The maximum number of Shares reserved for the grant of Awards
under the Plan shall be equal to 7.5% of the number of Shares that are issued immediately following the approval for listing and
trading of the Shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market, less any Shares issued or subject to awards granted under the Trust’s Equity
Plan or the Trust’s Advisor Equity Plan, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole
or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Trust in the open market,
in private transactions or otherwise. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if
an Award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Participant, or if Shares are surrendered or withheld by
the Trust as payment of either the purchase price of an Award and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award, the Shares with
respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, withholding, termination
or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan.


 


In the event that the Board shall determine that any dividend
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects
the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under
the Plan, then the Board shall make equitable changes or adjustments to any or all of:


 


(i) the number and kind of Shares or other property
(including cash) that may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards;


 


(ii) the number and kind of Shares or other property
(including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards;


 


(iii) the purchase price relating to
any Award; and


 


(iv) the performance goals, if any, applicable
to outstanding Awards. In addition, the Board may determine that any such equitable adjustment may be accomplished by making a
payment to the Award holder, in the form of cash or other property (including but not limited to Shares).

6.          Terms
of Awards.


 


(a)          General.
The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Trust upon the grant, vesting or delivery of an Award may be made in such forms as
the Board shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Shares or other property, and
may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis. The Board may make rules relating to installment
or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments. In addition
to the foregoing, the Board may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such additional
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Board shall determine.


 


(b)          Terms
of Specified Awards. The Board is authorized to grant the Awards described in this Section 6(b), under such terms and
conditions as deemed by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may be granted with vesting, value
and/or and payment contingent upon attainment of one or more performance goals. Except as otherwise set forth herein or as may
be determined by the Board, each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement containing such terms and
conditions applicable to such Award as the Board shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter.


 


(i)          Restricted
Stock. The Board is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Participants on the following terms and conditions:


 


(A)      Issuance
and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any,
as the Board may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times,
under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Board may determine. The Board may place restrictions on Restricted
Stock that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of one or more performance goals. Unless otherwise determined
by the Board, a Participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a shareholder including, without limitation,
the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.


 


(B)      Forfeiture.
Subject to Section 7, upon termination of service to the Trust during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock
and any accrued but unpaid dividends shall be forfeited; provided, that the Board may provide, by rule or regulation or in any
Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock
will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Board may in other cases
waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock.


 


(C)      Certificates
for Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Board shall determine. If certificates
representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Trust shall retain physical possession
of the certificate.


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


(D)      Dividends/Distributions.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, dividends and distributions
paid on Restricted Stock shall be paid at the dividend or distribution payment date in the same form as dividends and distributions
are paid to other Trust shareholders. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, Shares distributed in connection with a stock split
or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend or distribution, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of
forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Shares or other property has been distributed.


 


(ii)         Restricted
Stock Units. The Board is authorized to grant RSUs to Participants, subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(A)      Award
and Restrictions. Delivery of Shares, cash or other property, as determined by the Board, will occur upon expiration of the
period specified for RSUs by the Board during which forfeiture conditions apply, or such later date as the Board shall determine.
The Board may place restrictions on RSUs that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of one or more performance
goals.


 


(B)      Forfeiture.
Subject to Section 7, upon termination of service to the Trust prior to the vesting of RSUs, or upon failure to satisfy any
other conditions precedent to the delivery of Shares or cash to which such RSUs relate, all RSUs and any accrued but unpaid dividend
equivalents that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided, that the Board may provide, by rule
or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
to RSUs will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Board may in other
cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of RSUs.


 


(C)       Dividend/Distribution
Equivalents. The Board is authorized to grant to Participants the right to receive dividend equivalent payments and/or distribution
equivalent payments for the period prior to settlement of the RSU. Dividend equivalents or distribution equivalents may be paid
currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Shares, as determined by the Board. Any
such settlements, and any such crediting of dividend equivalents or distribution equivalents or reinvestment in Shares, may be
subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Board shall establish, including the reinvestment of such credited
amounts in Share equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, any such dividend equivalents or distribution equivalents
shall be paid or credited, as applicable, on the dividend payment date to the Participant as though each RSU held by such Participant
were an outstanding Share.


 




    	6



    	 



    

 


(iii)        Other
Stock-Based Awards. The Board is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards, as deemed
by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to this paragraph may be granted with vesting,
value and/or payment contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions
of such Awards at the date of grant or thereafter. Without limiting the generality of this paragraph, Other Stock-Based Awards
may include grants of Shares that are not subject to any restrictions or a substantial risk of forfeiture. Subject to Section 7,
upon termination of service to the Trust prior to the vesting of an Other Stock-Based Award, or upon failure to satisfy any other
conditions precedent to the delivery of Shares or cash to which such Other Stock-Based Award relates, all Other Stock-Based Awards
that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided, that the Board may provide, by rule or regulation
or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to such
Other Stock-Based Award will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the
Board may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of such Other Stock-Based Award.


 


7.          Change
in Control.


 


In the event of a Change in Control, any Award that was not
previously vested will become fully vested and/or payable, and any performance conditions imposed with respect to the Award will
be deemed to be fully achieved; provided, however, that for any Award subject to Section 409A of the Code, no payment may
be made to the holder of such Award unless the transaction constituting a Change in Control also constitutes, within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code, a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Trust or a “change
in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Trust.


 


8.          General
Provisions.


 


(a)          Nontransferability.
Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Awards shall not be transferable by a Participant except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant or his guardian
or legal representative.


 


(b)          No
Right to Continued Service, etc. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award, any Award Agreement or other agreement entered into
pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue as a trustee of, or continue to provide services to,
the Trust or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of the Trust or the Advisor or to be entitled to any remuneration or
benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Award Agreement or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Trust to terminate such Participant’s service.


 




    	7



    	 



    

 


(c)          Taxes.
The Trust or any parent or subsidiary of the Trust is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an
Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and
other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Board may deem advisable
to enable the Trust and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating
to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares or other property and to make cash payments
in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations. The Board may provide in the Award Agreement that
in the event that a Participant is required to pay any amount to be withheld in connection with the issuance of Shares in settlement
or exercise of an Award, the Participant may satisfy such obligation (in whole or in part) by electing to have the Trust withhold
a portion of the Shares to be received upon settlement or exercise of such Award that is equal to the minimum amount required
to be withheld.


 


(d)          Effective
Date; Amendment and Termination.


 


		(i)	The Plan shall take effect upon the Effective Date.



 


		(ii)	The Board may at any time and from time to time terminate,
amend, modify or suspend the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Board,
an amendment that requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to comply with any law, regulation or stock exchange requirement
shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of shareholders. The Board may at any time and from time to time
amend any outstanding Award in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this clause (ii), no amendment or modification
to or suspension or termination of the Plan or amendment of any Award shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Participant,
without such Participant’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.



 


(e)          Expiration
of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall expire on the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such expiration date. The expiration of the
Plan shall not affect adversely any of the rights of any Participant, without such Participant’s consent, under any Award
theretofore granted.


 


(f)          Deferrals.
The Board shall have the authority to establish such procedures and programs that it deems appropriate to provide Participants
with the ability to defer receipt of cash, Shares or other property payable with respect to Awards granted under the Plan.


 


(g)          No
Rights to Awards; No Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. There
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment among Participants. Except as provided specifically herein, a Participant or a transferee
of an Award shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of the issuance
of a stock certificate to him for such shares.


 


(h)          Unfunded
Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.
With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall
give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Trust.


 




    	8



    	 



    

 


(i)          No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Board shall determine
whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional
shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.


 


(j)          Regulations
and Other Approvals.


 


(i)       The
obligation of the Trust to sell or deliver Shares with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals
by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board.


 


(ii)      Each
Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing, registration
or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law,
or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with,
the grant of an Award or the issuance of Shares, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Shares issued, in whole or in
part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Board.


 


(iii)     In
the event that the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then-current registration statement
under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to
the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Board may require a Participant receiving Shares pursuant
to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent to the Trust in writing that the Shares acquired
by such Participant is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution.


 


(iv)     The
Board may require a Participant receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to enter
into a shareholder agreement or “lock-up” agreement in such form as the Board shall determine is necessary or desirable
to further the Trust’s interests.


 


(k)          Registration
on Form S-8. The Trust shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 with
respect to the securities to be offered to Participants under the Plan and shall during the term of the Plan keep such registration
statement effective.


 


(l)          Governing
Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of Maryland without
giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.


 




    	9



    	 



    

 


(m)          Section 409A.
It is intended that the payments and benefits under the Plan comply with, or as applicable, constitute a short-term deferral or
otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan will be administered and interpreted in a
manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or any Award to fail to satisfy Section 409A
of the Code will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent
permitted by Section 409A of the Code). To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties
under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant
to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following Participant’s termination of employment shall instead be
paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Participant’s termination of employment (or upon
Participant’s death, if earlier).
