WHEREAS, on July 1, 2009, the Company, the Operating Partnership, Asset I and the Manager entered into that certain management agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the Manager was retained to provide investment advisory services to the Company, the Operating Partnership, Asset I and any of their Subsidiaries;


WHEREAS, on May 24, 2011, the parties entered into an amendment to the Agreement; and


WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the Agreement; 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:


Section 1.    Definitions.  All terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to it in the Agreement.


Section 2.    Amendment.  Section 1(ii) of the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:


“(ii)    “Stockholders’ Equity” means:


(i) the sum of the net proceeds from all issuances of the Company’s equity securities since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), plus


(ii) the Company’s retained earnings at the end of the most recently 
completed calendar quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense incurred in current or prior periods), less


(iii) any amount that the Company pays for repurchases of its common stock since inception.


Stockholders’ Equity shall exclude (a) any unrealized gains, losses or other items that do not
affect realized net income (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income), (b) cumulative net realized losses that are not attributable to 





permanently impaired investments and that relate to investments for which market movement is accounted for in other comprehensive income, provided, however, that such adjustment shall not exceed cumulative unrealized net gains in other comprehensive income, and (c) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s Independent Directors and approval by a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors.


For purposes of calculating Stockholders’ Equity, outstanding limited partner interests in the
Operating Partnership (other than the limited partner interests held by the Company) shall be treated as outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.”


Section 3.    Continued Effect of Agreement.  Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Agreement remains unaffected and continues in full force and effect as though completely restated in this Amendment.


Section 4.    Interpretation of Amendment.  In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or incongruity between any term or condition of this Amendment and any term or condition of the Agreement, the term of this Amendment shall govern and control.


Section 5.    Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles to the contrary.


Section 6.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any party hereto, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.  No waiver of any provision hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.


Section 7.    Headings.  The headings of the sections of this Amendment have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed part of this Amendment. 


Section 8.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of 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.
