For purposes of this limitation, the Listed Shares underlying any Awards, including Dividend Equivalent Rights, which are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company, satisfied without the issuance of Listed Shares or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the Listed Shares available for issuance under the Plan so long as the participants to whom such Awards had been previously granted received no benefits of ownership of the underlying Listed Shares to which the Award related.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Listed Shares shall not become available for purposes of the Plan:  (1) Listed Shares previously owned or acquired by an awardee that are delivered to the Company, or withheld from an Award, to pay the exercise price, or (2) Listed Shares that are delivered or withheld for purposes of satisfying a tax withholding obligation.  Listed Shares issued under the Plan may be unissued Listed Shares or Listed Shares reacquired by the Company.

(b)    Listed Shares, Dividends, Mergers, etc.  In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, split-up or consolidation of Listed Shares, separation (including a spin-off), dividend on Listed Shares payable in securities of the Company (including Listed Shares), or other similar change in capitalization of the Company or a merger or consolidation of 

4

the Company or sale by the Company of all or a portion of its assets or other similar event, the Committee shall make such appropriate adjustments in the exercise prices of Awards, including Awards then outstanding, in the number and kind of securities, cash or other property which may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan, including Awards then outstanding, and in the number of Listed Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted (in the aggregate and to individual participants) as the Committee deems equitable with a view toward maintaining the proportionate interest of the participant and preserving the value of the Awards.

(c)    Substitute Awards.  The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for share and share-based awards held by employees of another corporation who concurrently become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or Listed Shares of the employing corporation.  The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

SECTION 4
Eligibility
Participants in the Plan will be Eligible Directors and such full or part-time officers and other employees of the Company and its Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth or profitability of the Company and its Affiliates and who are selected from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

SECTION 5
Listed Share Options

Any Listed Share Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.  Listed Share Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Listed Share Options, subject to any required approval of the holders of Listed Shares, or Non-Qualified Listed Share Options.  To the extent that any option does not qualify as an Incentive Listed Share Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Listed Share Option.  No Incentive Listed Share Option may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Committee in its discretion may grant Listed Share Options to employees of the Company, Subsidiaries or any Affiliate.  Listed Share Options granted to Eligible Directors and employees pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:

(i)    Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price of a Listed Share Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant.  The per share exercise price of a Listed Share Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant.  If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the 

5

attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of equity of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent corporation and an Incentive Listed Share Option is granted to such employee, the option price shall be not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the grant date.

(ii)    Option Term.  The term of each Listed Share Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Listed Share Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the option is granted.  If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of equity of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent and an Incentive Listed Share Option is granted to such employee, the term of such option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

(iii)    Exercisability; Rights of a Shareholder.  Listed Share Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the grant date.  The Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Listed Share Option.  An optionee shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to Listed Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Listed Share Option and not as to unexercised Listed Share Options.

(iv)    Method of Exercise.  Listed Share Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Listed Shares to be purchased.  Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods:

(A)    In cash (by certified, bank check, money order or other instrument acceptable to the Committee);

(B)    In the form of delivered Listed Shares that are not then subject to restrictions, or Listed Shares withheld from the exercise of the Award, in either case if permitted by the Committee in its discretion.  Such surrendered or withheld shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 

(C)    Any combination of cash and such Listed Shares, if the use of Listed Shares is permitted by the Committee in its discretion, in the amount of the full purchase price for the number of Listed Shares as to which the Option is exercised; provided, however, that any portion of the option price representing a fraction of a share shall be paid by the Optionee in cash; or

(D)    By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other 

6

agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure.  Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.

The delivery of certificates representing Listed Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Listed Share Option will be contingent upon receipt from the Optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Listed Share Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Listed Share Option or applicable provisions of laws.

(v)    Non-transferability of Options.  No Listed Share Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that (A) Non-Qualified Listed Share Options may be transferred by gifting for the benefit of a participant’s descendants for estate planning purposes or pursuant to a certified domestic relations order and (B) Vested Listed Share Options may be transferred by an optionee.  

(vi)    Termination by Death.  If any optionee’s service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates by reason of death, the Listed Share Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the date of death, or to the full extent of the option, at the Committee’s discretion, by the legal representative or legatee of the optionee, for a period of six months (or such longer period as the Committee shall specify at any time) from the date of death, or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier.

(vii)    Termination by Reason of Disability.

(A)    Any Listed Share Option held by an optionee whose service with the Company and its Affiliates has terminated by reason of Disability may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination or to the full extent of the option, at the Committee’s discretion, for a period of twelve months (or such longer period as the Committee shall specify at any time) from the date of such termination of service, or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier.

(B)    The Committee shall have sole authority and discretion to determine whether a participant’s service has been terminated by reason of Disability.

(C)    Except as otherwise provided by the Committee at the time of grant or otherwise, the death of an optionee during a period provided in this Section 5(vii) for the exercise of a Non-Qualified Listed Share Option shall extend such period for six months from the date of death, subject to termination on the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier.

(viii)    Termination for Cause.  If any optionee’s service with the Company or its Affiliates has been terminated for Cause, any Listed Share Option held by such optionee shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that such Listed Share Option can be exercised for 

7

a period of up to 30 days from the date of termination of service or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier.

(ix)    Other Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an optionee’s service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, or for Cause, any Listed Share Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised for such period, as the Committee shall specify at any time but in no event later than the expiration of the stated term of the option.

(x)    Annual Limit on Incentive Listed Share Options.  To the extent required for “Incentive Stock Option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Listed Shares with respect to which Incentive Listed Share Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

(xi)    Restrictions on Listed Shares.  Listed Shares issued upon exercise of a Listed Share Option shall be free of all restrictions under the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 6
Restricted Listed Share Awards and Restricted Share Units

(a)    Nature of Restricted Listed Share Award and Restricted Share Units.  The Committee may grant Restricted Listed Share Awards and Restricted Share Units to Eligible Directors and employees of the Company, a Subsidiary or any Affiliate.  A Restricted Listed Share Award is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire, at no cost or for a purchase price determined by the Committee, Listed Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Listed Shares”).  A Restricted Share Unit represents a right to receive Listed Shares or cash based upon conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Share Units”).  Conditions may be based on continuing service and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.  In addition, a Restricted Listed Share Award or Restricted Share Unit may be granted to an Eligible Director or employee by the Committee in lieu of, or in addition to, any compensation due to such Eligible Director or employee.

(b)    Acceptance of Award.  A participant who is granted a Restricted Listed Share Award or Restricted Share Unit which requires the making of a payment to the Company shall have no rights with respect to such Award unless the participant shall have accepted the Award within 60 days (or such shorter date as the Committee may specify) following the award date by making payment to the Company by certified or bank check or other instrument or form of payment acceptable to the Committee in an amount equal to the specified purchase price, if any, of the Listed Shares, covered by the Award and by executing and delivering to the Company a written instrument that sets forth the terms and conditions of the Restricted Listed Shares or Restricted Share Unit in such form as the Committee shall determine.

8

(c)    Rights as a Shareholder.  Upon complying with Section 6(b) above, a participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Listed Shares including voting and dividend rights, subject to transferability restrictions and Company repurchase or forfeiture rights described in this Section 6 and subject to such other conditions contained in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Listed Share Award.  Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Listed Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares are vested as provided in Section 6(e) below.  Holders of Restricted Share Units shall not have the rights of shareholders until Listed Shares are issued in satisfaction thereof, but may have Dividend Equivalent Rights, as determined by the Committee.

(d)    Restrictions.  Restricted Listed Shares and Restricted Share Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein.

(e)    Vesting of Restricted Listed Shares and Restricted Share Units.  The Committee at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre‐established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non‐transferability of the Restricted Listed Shares and Restricted Share Units and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse.  Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre‐established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the Listed Shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Listed Shares or Restricted Share Units and shall be deemed “vested.”

(f)    Waiver, Deferral and Reinvestment of Dividends.  The written instrument evidencing the Restricted Listed Share Award and/or Restricted Share Unit may require or permit the immediate payment, waiver, deferral or investment of dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights paid on the Restricted Listed Shares or Restricted Share Units.

SECTION 7
Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units

(a)    Nature of Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. A Performance Share Award is an award entitling the recipient to acquire Listed Shares upon the attainment of specified performance goals.  A Performance Share Unit represents a right to receive Listed Shares or cash based upon the achievement, or level of achievement, of one or more performance goals established by the Committee at the time of grant.  The Committee may make Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Unit Awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award under the Plan.  Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Directors and employees of the Company, a Subsidiary or any Affiliate, including those who qualify for awards under other performance plans of the Company.  The Committee in its sole discretion shall determine whether and to whom Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units shall be made, the performance goals applicable under each such Award, the periods during which performance 

9

is to be measured, and all other limitations and conditions applicable to the awarded Performance Shares and Performance Share Units; provided, however, that the Committee may rely on the performance goals and other standards applicable to other performance based plans of the Company in setting the standards for Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units under the Plan.

(b)    Restrictions on Transfer.  Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units and all rights with respect to such Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered.

(c)    Rights as a Shareholder.  A participant receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to Listed Shares actually received by the participant under the Plan and not with respect to Listed Shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the participant.  A participant shall be entitled to receive a Listed Share certificate evidencing the acquisition of Listed Shares under a Performance Share Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the written instrument evidencing the Performance Share Award (or in a performance plan adopted by the Committee).  Holders of Performance Share Units shall not have the rights of shareholders until Listed Shares are issued in satisfaction thereof, but may have Dividend Equivalent Rights, as determined by the Committee.  The written instrument evidencing the Performance Share Award and/or Performance Share Unit may require or permit the immediate payment, waiver, deferral or investment of dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights paid on the Performance Award and/or Performance Share Units.
(d)    Termination.  Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee at any time prior to termination of service, a participant’s rights in all Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Unit Awards shall automatically terminate upon the participant’s termination of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates for any reason (including, without limitation, death, Disability and for Cause).

(e)    Acceleration, Waiver, Etc.  At any time prior to the participant’s termination of service with the Company and its Affiliates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate, waive or, subject to Section 12, amend any or all of the goals, restrictions or conditions imposed under any Performance Share Award or Performance Share Unit; provided, however, that in no event shall any provision of the Plan be construed as granting to the Committee any discretion to increase the amount of compensation payable under any Performance Share Award or Performance Share Unit to the extent such an increase would cause the amounts payable pursuant to the Performance Share Award to be nondeductible in whole or in part pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and the Committee shall have no such discretion notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary.

10

SECTION 8
Dividend Equivalent Rights
A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash distributions that would be paid on the Listed Shares specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such shares were held by the recipient.  A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any participant as a component of another Award or as a freestanding Award.  The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the grant.  Dividend Equivalent Rights credited to a participant may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Listed Shares.  Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any.  Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Listed Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments.  A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award.  A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component or another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other award.

SECTION 9
Tax Withholding

(a)    Payment by Participant.  Each participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Listed Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income.  The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant.

(b)    Payment in Shares.   A participant may elect to have such tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from Listed Shares to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company Listed Shares owned by the participant with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.  

SECTION 10
Transfer, Leave of Absence, Etc.

For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of service:

11

(a)    a transfer to the employment of the Company from an Affiliate
or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another; and

(b)    an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing.

SECTION 11
Amendments and Termination
The Board may at any time amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may at any time amend or cancel any outstanding Award (or provide substitute Awards at the same or reduced exercise or purchase price or with no exercise or purchase price, but such price, if any, must satisfy the requirements which would apply to the substitute or amended Award if it were then initially granted under this Plan) for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent.

SECTION 12
Status of Plan

With respect to the portion of any Award which has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Listed Shares or other consideration not received by a participant, a participant shall have no rights greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Listed Shares or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the provision of the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 13
Change of Control Provisions
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as defined in this Section 13:

(a)    Each Listed Share Option shall automatically become fully exercisable unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly provide at the time of grant. 

(b)    Restrictions and conditions on Awards of Restricted Listed Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares, Performance Share Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically be deemed waived, and the recipients of such Awards shall become entitled to receipt of the maximum amount of Listed Shares subject to such Awards unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly provide at the time of grant.

12

(c)    Unless otherwise expressly provided at the time of grant, participants who hold Listed Share Options shall have the right, in lieu of exercising the Option, to elect to surrender all or part of such Option to the Company and to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the higher of (x) the Fair Market Value of a Listed Share on the date such right is exercised and (y) the highest price paid for Listed Shares or, in the case of securities convertible into Listed Shares or carrying a right to acquire Listed Shares, the highest effective price (based on the prices paid for such securities) at which such securities are convertible into Listed Shares or at which Listed Shares may be acquired, by any person or group whose acquisition of voting securities has resulted in a Change of Control of the Company over (ii) the exercise price per share under the Option, multiplied by the number of shares of Listed Shares with respect to which such right is exercised.

(d)    “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following events:

(i)    any “person”, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act (other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, and any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of either (A) the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Company’s Board of Eligible Directors (“Voting Securities”) or (B) the then outstanding shares of Listed Shares of the Company (in either such case other than as a result of acquisition of securities directly from the Company); provided, however, that a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 13(d)(i) if, prior to reaching or exceeding such beneficial ownership limit, the Board approves the purchase, issuance, transfer, gift, assignment, or other similar transaction pursuant to which such person reaches or exceeds such beneficial ownership limit; provided, further, that if any such person shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional Voting Securities or Listed Shares (other than pursuant to a Listed Share split, Listed Share dividend, or similar transaction), then, absent additional Board approval, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 13(d)(i).  For the avoidance of doubt, in no way shall the approval by the Board of an acquisition of Voting Securities or Listed Shares subject to this Section 13(d)(i) be deemed to limit, in any way, the provisions contained in Section 13(d)(iii); or 

(ii)    persons (as defined in the previous subsection) who, as of September 19, 2014, constitute the Company’s Board of Eligible Directors (the “Incumbent Eligible Directors”) cease for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a Eligible Director of the Company subsequent to such date whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Eligible Directors shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered an Incumbent Eligible Director; or

(b)    The consideration paid for an Investment acquired by CPA: 17 shall ordinarily be based on the fair market value thereof.  Consistent with the foregoing provision, the Advisor may, without further approval by the Board (except with respect to transactions subject to paragraphs (c) and (d)) invest on behalf of CPA: 17 in an Investment so long as, in the Advisor’s good faith judgment, (i) the Total Investment Cost (excluding Acquisition Expenses) of such Investment does not exceed the fair market value thereof, and in the case of an Investment that is a Property, shall in no event exceed the Appraised Value of such Property and (ii) the Investment, in conjunction with CPA: 17’s other investments and proposed investments, at the time CPA: 17 is committed to purchase or originate the Investment, is reasonably expected to fulfill CPA: 17’s investment objectives and policies as established by the Board and then in effect.  For purposes of the foregoing, Total Investment Cost shall be measured at the date the Investment is made and shall exclude future commitments to fund improvements.  Investments not meeting the foregoing criteria must be approved in advance by the Board.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Advisor shall not cause CPA: 17 to make Investments that do not comply with Article VIII (Restrictions on Investments and Activities) and related sections of the Bylaws.

In addition, the Advisor shall comply with any further approval requirements set forth in the Bylaws.
(e)    The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4.  If and to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority contained herein, the Advisor shall henceforth comply with such modification or revocation, provided however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed CPA: 17 prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.
5.    Bank Accounts.  The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of CPA: 17 or in the name of CPA: 17 and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of CPA: 17, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and to the auditors of CPA: 17.
6.    Records; Access.  The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of CPA: 17, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours.

	12
	 

7.    Limitations on Activities.  Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would adversely affect the status of CPA: 17 as a REIT or of the Operating Partnership as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, subject CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, would violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over CPA: 17, its Shares or its Securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the Charter or Bylaws or agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board.  In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given.  
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers and employees, and partners, shareholders, directors and officers of the Advisor’s shareholders and Affiliates of any of them, shall not be liable to CPA: 17, the Operating Partnership or to the Directors or Shareholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers and employees, or partners, shareholders, directors or officers of the Advisor’s shareholders and Affiliates of any of them if the following conditions are met:

(i)    The Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers and employees, and partners, shareholders, directors and officers of the Advisor’s shareholders and Affiliates of any of them have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of CPA: 17;

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates shall not be indemnified by CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions are met:
(i)    There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee;
(ii)    Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or
(iii)    A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of CPA: 17 were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

	
			
	 
	13
	 

(c)    CPA: 17 and the Operating Partnership shall advance funds to the Advisor or its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i)    The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of CPA: 17;
(ii)    The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a Shareholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and
(iii)    The Advisor or the Affiliate undertakes to repay the advanced funds to CPA: 17, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor or Affiliate is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(e)    Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 7 shall be recoverable or paid only out the net assets of CPA: 17 and not from Shareholders.

8.    Relationship with Directors.  There shall be no limitation on any shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Advisor serving as a Director or an officer of CPA: 17, except that no employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of CPA: 17 shall receive any compensation from CPA: 17 for serving as a Director or officer other than for reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board; for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this Section 8 shall not apply to any compensation paid by the Advisor or any Affiliate for which CPA: 17 reimbursed the Advisor or Affiliate in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
9.    Fees.
(a)    Asset Management Fee.  (1)  The Operating Partnership shall pay to the Advisor as compensation for the advisory services rendered hereunder an asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to the percentage of the Average Equity Market Value of an Investment as specified in the following table:

	1.75% of the Average Equity Value

	Investments in readily marketable real estate securities (other than B Notes, mortgage backed securities and Loans) purchased on the secondary market
	1.50% of the Average Equity Value

	All other Investments not described in the foregoing categories, such as interests in entities that own real estate or are engaged in real estate related businesses, short-term net leases and equity investments in real property
	0.50% of the Average Market Value

(iv)    The Asset Management Fee with respect to an Investment will be calculated monthly, beginning with the month in which CPA: 17 first makes the Investment, and shall be pro rated for the number of days during a month that CPA: 17 owns the Investment.  The aggregate Asset Management Fees calculated with respect to each month shall be payable on the first business day following such month.
(b)    Initial Acquisition Fee.  (1)  The Advisor may receive as partial compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of any Investment, an initial acquisition fee (an “Initial Acquisition Fee”) payable by the Operating Partnership.  The Initial Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor in respect of an Investment shall be payable at the time such Investment is acquired in an amount determined as specified in the following table:  
	
		
	Type of Investment

(i)    At the time an Investment is made, the Advisor shall determine the type of Investment, which shall be used for the purpose of calculating all fees due hereunder; it 

	
			
	 
	15
	 

being understood that the Advisor shall use its reasonable judgment, based primarily upon the economic substance of an Investment, in determining the classification of an Investment, provided, that in the event of any dispute, the Independent Directors shall finally determine for all purposes the type of Investment.
(c)    Subordinated Acquisition Fee.  (i) In addition to the Initial Acquisition Fee described in Section 9(b) above, the Advisor may receive additional compensation in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Investments a Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable by the Operating Partnership to the Advisor or its Affiliates (the “Subordinated Acquisition Fee”).  The total Subordinated Acquisition Fees payable shall be an amount determined as specified in the following table:
	
		
	Type of Investment

	All other Investments not described in the foregoing category

(ii)     Except as may otherwise be approved by the Independent Directors, the Subordinated Acquisition Fee shall be payable in three equal annual installments on the first business day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter in which the Investment is made and the first business day of the corresponding fiscal quarter in each of the subsequent two fiscal years.  It is understood that the Independent Directors may determine that under certain limited circumstances, it will be in CPA: 17’s best interests to pay the Subordinated Acquisition Fee at the time the Investment is made rather than on an installment basis, even if the Preferred Return has not yet been satisfied, and any agreement or instrument entered into to give effect to such payment shall be subject in its entirety to this Agreement.  Any unpaid portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fee with respect to an Investment will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of acquisition of the Investment until the portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fee is paid.  The accrued interest is payable on the date of each annual installment of the fees.  The Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable in any year, and accrued interest thereon, will be subordinated to the Preferred Return of 5% and only paid if the Preferred Return of 5% has been achieved through the end of the prior fiscal quarter.  Any portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fee, and accrued interest thereon, not paid due to CPA: 17’s failure to meet the Preferred Return of 5% through any fiscal quarter end shall be paid by CPA: 17 on the first business day of the fiscal quarter next following the fiscal quarter end through which the Preferred Return of 5% has been met.
(d)    Six Percent Limitation.  The total amount of all Initial Acquisition Fees plus Subordinated Acquisition Fees, including interest thereon, whether payable to the Advisor or a third party, and Acquisition Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership may not exceed 6% of the aggregate Contract Purchase Price of all Investments, measured for the period beginning with the initial acquisition of an Investment and ending (i) on December 31 of the year in which CPA: 17 has invested 90% of the net proceeds of its initial Offering (excluding the net proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to CPA: 17’s dividend reinvestment program), and (ii) on each December 31 thereafter, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not 

	
			
	 
	16
	 

otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to CPA: 17.
(e)    Property Management Fee; Loan Refinancing Fee.  No Property Management Fee or Loan Refinancing Fee shall be paid unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.
(f)    Subordinated Disposition Fee.  (i) If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services in the sale of an Investment, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall be entitled to receive a subordinated disposition fee (the “Subordinated Disposition Fee”) at the time of such disposition, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 50% of the Competitive Real Estate Commission (if applicable) and (2) 3.0% of the Contract Sales Price of the Investment; provided, however, that (A) the Subordinated Disposition Fee in respect of Investments that are B Notes, mortgage backed securities and Loans shall equal 1.0% of the equity capital invested by CPA: 17 in the Investment, and (B) no Subordinated Disposition Fee shall be paid in respect of Investments that are readily marketable securities.
(ii)    The total real estate commissions and Subordinated Disposition Fees CPA: 17 pays to all Persons shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of:  (1) 6% of the Contract Sales Price of the Investment or (2) the Competitive Real Estate Commission.  Payment of Subordinated Disposition Fees and accrued interest thereon, will be subordinated to the Preferred Return and only paid if the Preferred Return of 5% has been achieved through the end of the prior fiscal quarter.  To the extent that Subordinated Disposition Fees are not paid on a current basis due to the foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be due and paid at such time as the limitation has been satisfied, together with interest from the time of disposition of the Investment to which they relate, at the rate of 5%.  The Advisor shall present to the Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably request to review the level of services provided by the Advisor in connection with a disposition and the basis for the calculation of the amount of the Subordinated Disposition Fees on a quarterly basis.  No payment of Subordinated Disposition Fees shall be made prior to review and approval of such information by the Independent Directors.
(g)    Loans From Affiliates.  CPA: 17 shall not borrow funds from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors who are not interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing charges or fees received by the Advisor or its Affiliates do not exceed the amount which would be charged by non-affiliated lending institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable than those prevailing for comparable arm’s-length loans for the same purpose.  CPA: 17 will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment and CPA: 17 is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the judgment of the Board, it is not in CPA: 17’s best interest to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to believe that CPA: 17 will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates.
(h)    Changes To Fee Structure.  In the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, CPA: 17 and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life.  A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor.  In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, 

	
			
	 
	17
	 

including but not limited to:  (a) the size of the Advisory Fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of CPA: 17’s portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of CPA: 17; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with CPA: 17, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by CPA: 17 or by others with whom CPA: 17 does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of CPA: 17, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of CPA: 17 in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for the account of other clients.  The Independent Directors shall not approve any new fee structure that is in their judgment more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Advisor than the current fee structure.
(i)    Payment.  Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any fee payable pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of CPA:17, after consultation with the Advisor, in the form of:  (i) cash, (ii) restricted stock of CPA: 17, or (iii) a combination of cash and restricted stock.  After consultation with the Advisor, CPA:17 shall notify the Advisor in writing annually of the form in which the fee shall be paid.  Such notice shall be provided no later than January 15 of each year.  If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash.  For purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of stock, the value of each share of restricted stock shall be:  (i) the Net Asset Value per Share as determined based on the most recent appraisal of CPA: 17’s assets performed by an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an appraisal has not yet been performed, $10 per share.  If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is paid with stock, the value shall be the price of the stock without commissions.  The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on a quarterly or other basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions.  Stock issued by CPA: 17 to the Advisor in payment of fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and CPA: 17 may from time to time agree.
(j)    During the term of the Management Agreement, no Asset Management Fees shall be paid to the Advisor under Section 9(a) of this Agreement with respect to Properties located outside the United States and Loans secured by collateral outside the United States.
(k)    During the term of the Management Agreement, no Subordinated Disposition Fees shall be paid to the Advisor under Section 9(f) of this Agreement with respect to Properties located outside the United States and Loans secured by collateral outside the United States.
10.    Expenses.  
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(d), to the extent applicable, in addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for the following expenses:
(ii)    Organization and Offering Expenses; provided however, that within 60 days after the end of the quarter in which any Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Operating Partnership for any Organization and Offering Expense reimbursements received by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent that such reimbursements, when added to the balance of the Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding selling 

	
			
	 
	18
	 

commissions, the selected dealer fee and the wholesaling fee) paid directly by the Operating Partnership, exceed four percent of the Gross Offering Proceeds; provided further, that the Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of all Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding such commissions and such fees and expense reimbursements) in excess of four percent of the Gross Offering Proceeds;

(vii)    taxes and assessments on income of CPA: 17, to the extent paid or advanced by the Advisor, or on Investments and taxes as an expense of doing business;

P. Carey Inc. and its Affiliates (for their own account) shall be allocated among such entities based upon the percentage that CPA: 17’s total revenues for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters represent of the combined total revenues for such period of CPA: 17, W. P. Carey Inc. and each REIT or other entity managed by the Advisor and its Affiliates (provided that if any such entity has not been in operation for the full four quarter period, the period for which such entity has been in operation shall be annualized), or such other methodology as may be approved by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors).  No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such personnel are used in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate fee.
(c)    Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of CPA: 17 and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.

11.    Other Services.  Should the Board request that the Advisor or any Affiliate, shareholder or employee thereof render services for CPA: 17 other than as set forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

CPA: 17 may defer the payment or distribution to the Advisor and the Special General Partner of fees, expenses and distributions that would, if paid or distributed, cause Operating Expenses during such 12-month period to exceed the foregoing limitations; provided, however, that in determining which items shall be paid and which may be deferred, priority will be given to the payment of distributions to the Special General Partner over the payment to the Advisor of amounts due under this Agreement.

	
			
	 
	20
	 

(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor becomes responsible for any excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement would not cause the Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter.  In no event shall the Operating Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership in any 12-month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
(iii)    Within 60 days after the end of any twelve‐month period referred to in subparagraph (i), the Advisor shall reimburse CPA: 17 for any amounts expended by CPA: 17 in such twelve‐month period that exceeds the limitations provided in subparagraph (i) unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses are justified, as provided in subparagraph (ii), and provided the Operating Expenses for such later quarter would not thereby exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
(b)    In addition to the limitation on Operating Expenses set forth in paragraph (a), beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, CPA:17 and the Operating Partnership shall not be required to reimburse the Advisor for personnel expenses pursuant to Section 10 that exceed:  (i) with respect to transactional legal expenses for the Advisor’s in-house transaction legal group, the amounts set forth in Schedule C; and (ii) with respect to other personnel expenses in any fiscal year (or portion thereof, if this Agreement is terminated during a fiscal year), 2.4% of CPA:17’s  total revenues for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015; 2.2% of CPA:17’s  total revenues (or portion thereof) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016; and 2.0% of CPA:17’s  total revenues (or portion thereof) for each fiscal year (or portion thereof) thereafter, with total revenues in each case being determined by CPA:17’s proportionate share of total revenues of the relevant entities, as determined in accordance with Section 10(a).  Furthermore, CPA:17 and the Operating Partnership shall have no obligation to reimburse the Advisor for expenses associated with the Advisor’s financial systems transformation project known as “Project Phoenix”.
(c)    All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
(d)    If the Special General Partner receives distributions pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership in respect of realized gains on the disposition of an Investment, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating the Operating Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the disposition of such Investment.
14.    Investment Allocation and Other Activities of the Advisor.  Except as provided in the Guidelines, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including without limitation direct investment by the Advisor and its Affiliates in assets that would be suitable for CPA: 17, the rendering of advice to other investors (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 the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director, officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association.  The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which CPA: 17 is a participant, also render advice and service to each other participant therein.  

	
			
	 
	21
	 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CPA 17 acknowledges that the Advisor provides or will provide services to other CPA REIT funds and other entities, whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and that the Advisor and its Affiliates may invest for their own account.  If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored, or will sponsor in the future, other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as CPA: 17, or if the Advisor and its Affiliates intend to make investments for their own account that fit CPA: 17’s investment objectives, it shall be the duty of the Advisor to allocate Investments among the competing investment entities and the Advisor and its Affiliates in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with the Guidelines.
The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to CPA: 17 that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of CPA: 17, but subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to CPA: 17 even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to CPA: 17, could be taken by CPA: 17.
Once each quarter, senior representatives of the Advisor will meet with at least a majority of the Independent Directors for the purpose of reviewing the Advisor’s compliance with the Guidelines with respect to all Investments allocated among W. P. Carey Inc., CPA: 17 and each other CPA REIT and investment program managed by an Affiliate of W.P. Carey Inc. (each, together with its Affiliates, an “Investment Entity,” and collectively, the “Investment Entities”) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter.  The quarterly review will take place at the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors, or at another time and place that are mutually determined by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, and may include representatives of other Investment Entities.  The Advisor will use its best efforts to distribute a report reasonably in advance of each quarterly review meeting containing a list of all Investments allocated to the Investment Entities the particular Investment Entity to which each Investment was allocated, a brief description of the Investment, the purchase price of each Investment and acquisition fees (if any) paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates in connection with each Investment.  Representatives of the Advisor shall be prepared to discuss each Investment and the reasons for its allocation to particular Investment Entities at the quarterly review meeting.
15.    Relationship of Advisor and CPA: 17.  CPA: 17 and the Advisor agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them.
16.    Term; Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement, as amended and restated, shall continue in force until September 30, 2015 or until 60 days after the date on which the Independent Directors shall have notified the Advisor of their determination either to renew this Agreement for an additional one-year period or terminate this Agreement, as required by CPA:17’s Charter.
17.    Termination by CPA: 17.  At the sole option the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by written notice of termination from CPA: 17 to the Advisor upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the following events occur:
(a)    If the Advisor shall breach this Agreement; provided that such breach (i) is of a material term or condition of this Agreement and (ii) the Advisor has not cured such breach within 30 days of written notice thereof or, in the case of any breach that cannot be cured within 30 days by reasonable effort, has not taken all necessary action within a reasonable time period to cure such breach;

	
			
	 
	22
	 

(b)    If the Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or trustee of the Advisor, for all or substantially all of its property by reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves any petition filed against the Advisor for reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or
(c)    If the Advisor shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due.
Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is given or any date thereafter.  The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in Section 17(b) or (c) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.
18.    Termination by Either Party.  This Agreement may be terminated immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to CPA: 17 upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by CPA: 17 without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by action of the Directors, a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority of the Shareholders, in each case upon 60 days’ written notice.
19.    Assignment Prohibition.  This Agreement may not be assigned by the Advisor without the approval of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership, association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on the affairs of the Advisor, provided:  (i) that at the time of such assignment, such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Sponsor and only if such entity has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Advisor shall deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from the new Advisor as to its net worth.  Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound by this Agreement.  The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to CPA: 17 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 CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership is bound by this Agreement.
20.    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 but shall be entitled to receive from CPA: 17 the following:
(i)    all unpaid reimbursements of Organization and Offering Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor;

	
			
	 
	23
	 

(ii)    all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the Advisor prior to the Termination Date;
(iii)    all earned but unpaid Acquisition Fees and interest thereon, in each case payable to the Advisor relating to the acquisition of any Property prior to the Termination Date;
(iv)    all earned but unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees and interest thereon, payable to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Investment prior to the Termination Date; and
(v)    all earned but unpaid Property Management Fees and Loan Refinancing Fees, if any, payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates relating to the management of any property prior to the termination of this Agreement.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive the sums in Section 20(a) (ii) through (v).
(c)    Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be paid within 90 days after the Termination Date.  All other amounts shall be paid in a manner determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of CPA: 17 or the Operating Partnership or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the “Note”).  The Note, if any, may be prepaid by the Operating Partnership at any time prior to maturity with accrued interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investments (i) shall be an amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the respective Investments during which the Advisor provided services to CPA: 17, (ii) shall not be due and payable until the Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (iii) shall not bear interest until the Investment to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced.  A portion of the amount shall be paid as each Investment owned by CPA: 17 on the Termination Date is sold.  The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be equal to (i) such amount multiplied by (ii) the percentage calculated by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment sold by CPA: 17 divided by the total fair value (at the Termination Date) of all Investments owned by CPA: 17 on the Termination Date.
(d)    The Advisor shall promptly upon termination.
(i)    pay over to the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of CPA: 17 pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;
(ii)    deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

	
			
	 
	24
	 

(iii)    deliver to the Board all assets, including Properties and Loans, and documents of CPA: 17 then in the custody of the Advisor; and
(iv)    cooperate with CPA: 17 to provide an orderly management transition.
21.    Indemnification by CPA: 17 and the Operating Partnership.  Neither CPA: 17 nor the Operating Partnership shall indemnify the Advisor or any of its Affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by the Advisor or the Affiliate, or hold the Advisor or the Affiliate harmless for any loss or liability suffered by CPA: 17, except as permitted under Section 7.
22.    Indemnification by Advisor.  The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless CPA: 17 and the Operating Partnership from liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including 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, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.
23.    Joint and Several Obligations.  Any obligations of CPA: 17 shall be construed as the joint and several obligations of CPA: 17 and the Operating Partnership, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
24.    Notices.  Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:

SCHEDULE A
Investment Allocation Guidelines
CPA: 17 invests primarily in income-producing commercial real estate assets, primarily consisting of properties that are leased to single tenants on a triple net basis.  CPA: 17’s investment objectives and investment strategy are set forth in its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are subject to change from time to time with the approval of the Board.
The Advisor is a fiduciary to CPA: 17 and has agreed to allocate Investments among CPA: 17 and other Investment Entities in a fair manner and in accordance with these Guidelines.  In order to provide for a fair allocation of Investment opportunities among Investment Entities, the Advisor agrees that if the Advisor or any of its Affiliates is presented with a potential Investment which falls within the investment objectives of one or more of the Investment Entities (including CPA: 17), the Advisor shall consider the following factors, together with such other factors as it deems relevant in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, when deciding how to allocate such Investment among one or more Investment Entities in a fair and equitable manner
		
	•
	whether an Investment Entity is still in its fundraising and acquisition stage, or has substantially invested the proceeds from its fundraising stage;

		
	•
	the amount of funds available for investment by an Investment Entity and the length of time that such funds have been available for investment;

		
	•
	the effect of the Investment on the diversification of an Investment Entity’s portfolio;

		
	•
	the effect of the Investment on the profile of an Investment Entity’s mortgage maturity profile;

		
	•
	the ability of an Investment Entity to service any debt associated with the Investment;

		
	•
	the effect of the Investment on the ability of the Investment Entity to comply with any restrictions on investments and indebtedness contained in the Investment Entity’s governing documents and public SEC filings, in any contract or in any law or regulation applicable to the Investment Entity;

		
	•
	whether an Investment Entity was formed for the purpose of making a particular type of investment;

		
	•
	the financial attributes of the Investment;

		
	•
	the effect of the Investment on the Investment Entity’s intention to qualify as a REIT, partnership or other type of entity for tax purposes; and

		
	•
	the effect of the Investment on an Investment Entity’s intention not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Advisor agrees to make investment allocation decisions without regard to the relative fees or other compensation that would be paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates in connection with the applicable Investments.

SCHEDULE B
This Schedule sets forth the terms governing any Shares issued by CPA: 17 to the Advisor in payment of advisory fees set forth in the Agreement.
1.    Restrictions.  The Shares are subject to vesting over a five-year period.  The Shares shall vest ratably over a five-year period with 20% of the Shares paid in each payment vesting on each of the first through fifth anniversary of the date hereof.  Prior to the vesting of the ownership of the Shares in the Advisor, the Shares may not be transferred by the Advisor.
2.    Immediate Vesting.  Upon the expiration of the Agreement for any reason other than a termination for Cause under paragraph 17 or upon a “Change of Control” of CPA®:17 (as defined below), all Shares granted to the Advisor hereunder shall vest immediately and all restrictions shall lapse.  For purposes of this Schedule A, a “Change of Control” of CPA: 17 shall be deemed to have occurred if there has been a change in the ownership of CPA: 17 of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to the disclosure requirements of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as enacted and in force on the date hereof, whether or not CPA: 17 is then subject to such reporting requirements; provided, however, that, without limitation, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i)    any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than CPA: 17, any of its subsidiaries, any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan of CPA: 17 or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of CPA: 17 representing 25% or more of either (A) the combined voting power of CPA: 17’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (“Voting Securities”) or (B) the then outstanding common stock of CPA: 17 (in either such case other than as a result of acquisition of securities directly from CPA: 17);
(ii)    persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of CPA: 17 subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an Incumbent Director; or
(iii)    the stockholders of CPA: 17 shall approve (A) any consolidation or merger of CPA: 17 or any subsidiary where the stockholders of CPA: 17, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the voting equity of the entity issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent entity, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of CPA: 17 or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of CPA: 17.

	
			
	 
	1
	 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by CPA: 17 which, by reducing the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). 
3.  Exception.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shares shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule in Section 1 regardless of:  (a) the expiration of the Advisory Agreement for any reason other than a termination by CPA: 17 for Cause or a resignation by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, (b) the merger of CPA: 17 and an Affiliate of CPA: 17 or (c) any “Change of Control” of CPA: 17 in connection with a merger with an Affiliate of CPA: 17.
