Employment Agreement, between Rentrak Corporation and David I. Chemerow.

 Exhibit 10.2 
 AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment to Employment Agreement
(this “Amendment”) is entered into as of November 6, 2011, between DAVID I. CHEMEROW (“Executive”) and RENTRAK CORPORATION, an Oregon corporation (“Corporation”). 

WHEREAS, Executive and Corporation are parties to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of October 15, 2009 (the
“Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, Executive and Corporation desire to enter into this Amendment in order to secure
Executive’s services to the Corporation over a longer term of employment than is provided in the Agreement, and containing the additional terms set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Term. Section 1.2 of the Agreement is amended to provide that the Term will expire on September 30, 2015. 

2. Amendment of Equity Awards. Following execution of this Amendment, Executive’s existing Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be
amended to provide that the opportunity to vest under the modified EBITDA goals and the share price goals shall continue until March 31, 2015, and that such Awards shall no longer be forfeited upon termination of employment. In addition, the
Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Executive’s existing stock options shall be amended to reflect the terms set forth in Section 4 hereof. 
 3. Amendment of “Cause” Definition. Section 5.3 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to provide as follows: 

Corporation may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause at any time. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” means: (i) Executive’s material breach of his fiduciary obligations to the Corporation through actions taken or omitted in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that such actions or omissions would
directly or indirectly benefit the Corporation; (ii) Executive’s material breach of Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement; and (iii) Executive’s conviction of a crime involving fraud, theft, embezzlement or moral turpitude. Except as
specifically provided below, no actions or omissions described in (i) or (ii), above, shall constitute Cause if, within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Corporation describing such prohibited actions or omissions, Executive stops
taking such prohibited actions, or takes the actions omitted. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) any action which is described in (i) or (ii) (“Prohibited Action”) to which the immediately preceding sentence had
been applied during the previous 12 month period; or (B) any Prohibited Action which the Corporation proves, by clear and convincing evidence (considering only evidence that would be admissible under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and
which is not based on conjecture or speculation) in an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with Section 8(b), to have been the principal cause of substantial and irreversible damage to the Corporation. 

 4. Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. Section 6.2 of the Agreement is
amended in its entirety to provide as follows: 
 In the event that prior to the expiration of the Term, Corporation terminates
Executive’s employment with Corporation without Cause under Section 5.5 or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason under Section 5.4, Executive will be entitled to the amounts described in Section 6.1. Executive will
also be entitled to be paid, in a lump sum payable within 30 days following termination (i) a payment in respect of bonus equal to $100,000 for each fiscal year ending during the Term after the date of termination plus a prorated portion
of such amount for any portion of a fiscal year immediately preceding the end of the Term, and (ii) an amount equal to Executive’s then-current base salary calculated through the end of the Term. Corporation also will continue to provide
or will arrange to provide (at Corporation’s cost) Executive with medical and dental insurance benefits substantially similar to those to which executive was entitled as of the date of termination for a period of 12 months following the
date of termination; provided, however, that if Executive is employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical and dental insurance benefits under another employer-provided plan, Corporation’s obligation to provide such medical
and dental benefits will terminate automatically. In addition, to the extent not previously vested and as reflected in the Stock Option Award Agreement, and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, and in any other stock option award agreement,
(a) restricted stock units covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest and shares of Common Stock will be issued to Executive, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.5 below, free of any restrictions, in the amount of 72,000 shares if
termination occurs on or after July 1, 2011 and on or prior to June 30, 2012, less any shares of Common Stock that had previously vested under the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (such amount actually issued to be
credited against any Restricted Stock Unit Awards that vest post-termination), and any remaining unvested Restricted Stock Unit Awards will cease to be subject to forfeiture based on termination of employment and will continue to be eligible to vest
according to their terms based on the extent to which the Corporation achieves: (1) the Modified EBITDA and Modified EBITDA Margin goals specified in Section 2.4.1 of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement during the fiscal periods
specified therein; (2) the Share Price Goals specified in Section 2.4.2 of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, but with “Restriction Period 4” amended to mean the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on
June 15, 2015; and (3) a Change in Control Transaction meeting the per-share price thresholds specified in Section 2.4.3, but with “Restriction Period 4” amended to mean the period commencing on the Grant Date and
ending on June 15, 2015, in each case as though Executive had continued to be employed for the full Term (i.e., Section 2.6 of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement is modified by eliminating cessation of employment under the
circumstances referred to above as a basis for forfeiting unvested Restricted Stock Unit Awards), and (b) any unvested stock options held by Executive will immediately vest and become exercisable in full. Corporation’s obligations to
pay the amount specified in this Section 6.2, to provide medical and dental insurance benefits, and to accelerate or continue vesting of the stock options and Restricted Stock Unit Award as described above are expressly conditioned on
(A) Executive’s execution of a release (in the form attached to this Agreement as Appendix 6.2, with such modifications specifically in response to changes in applicable law as counsel for Corporation determines to be reasonably
necessary or desirable to ensure effective release of all claims) of any and all claims that Executive may hold through the date such release is executed against Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and (B) the expiration of
any applicable revocation period specified in such release without revocation of the release by Executive. Corporation’s obligation to provide medical and dental insurance benefits to Executive will terminate if Executive breaches a
provision of Section 3. Executive acknowledges that the potential to vest the Restricted Stock Unit Awards following termination of employment is a benefit to Executive, and that there is no assurance that the Corporation will be operated
during such post-termination period in a manner to achieve such vesting.

 5. Arbitration Procedure. Section 8(b) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to
provide as follows: 
 (b) After exhausting the informal dispute resolution process under Section 8(a) above, upon the
request of any party, or in the case of a claim by the Corporation under Section 5.3 that the Executive engaged in Prohibited Action that was the principal cause of substantial and irreversible damage to the Corporation, the dispute will be
submitted to and settled by final and binding confidential arbitration. The arbitrator for any such proceeding shall be selected as provided in Section 8(c). The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to all such disputes. The applicable
procedural rules shall be the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection, provided that the arbitrator shall consider only evidence that would be admissible
under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in Portland, Oregon. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of
commencement and the award or Section 5.3 determination of the arbitrator shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator, upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the
hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award or Section 5.3 determination. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be
submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and judgment on it may be entered and enforced. 
 6. Selection of
Arbitrator. The Agreement is amended by adding Section 8(c) which shall read in its entirety to provide as follows: 
 (c) The Corporation and the Executive shall each select an arbitrator. The arbitrators so selected shall, within 30 days, select a neutral arbitrator acceptable to each of the arbitrators selected by
Corporation and Executive, who shall conduct the arbitration proceedings and issue the award or Section 5.3 determination. If the arbitrators selected by the parties fail to select a neutral arbitrator within 30 days, an arbitrator shall be
appointed as provided in the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

	9.	COMPENSATION. 

 The
Advisor and its Affiliates shall be paid for services rendered by the Advisor under this Agreement as follows: 
 (a) The
Advisor or its Affiliates shall receive an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition of Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities (by
purchase, investment, merger or exchange) (i) acquired during the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement using (A) funds from any source received during the period of time
beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement or (B) Shares or units of limited partnership interest of the Partnership for which an agreement for the issuance of such Shares or units was entered into
during the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement, and (ii) acquired after the date of termination of this Agreement using (A) funds from any source received during the period
of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement or (B) Shares or units of limited partnership interest of the Partnership for which an agreement for the issuance of such Shares or units was
entered into during the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement, including any acquisitions funded with net proceeds from a Sale. The total Acquisition Fees paid to the Advisor or its
Affiliates shall not exceed (i) 1.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of Properties acquired directly or indirectly by the Company, and (ii) 1.0% of the origination price or purchase price of (A) Real Estate-Related Securities and
(B) Real Estate Assets other than Properties, originated or acquired by the Company. At the Advisor’s discretion, a portion of the Acquisition Fee may be paid to third-party developers for services rendered. Acquisition Fees shall be
payable on the acquisition of a specific Property, on the acquisition of a portfolio of Properties through a purchase of assets, controlling securities or by Joint Venture, by a merger or similar business combination or other comparable transaction,
on the completion of development of a Property or Properties for the Company, or on the origination or acquisition of Real Estate-Related Securities or Real Estate Assets other than Properties. However, the

  
 10 

 
total of all Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable with respect to any Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities shall not exceed 6.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of
such Real Estate Assets or Real Estate-Related Securities, or in the case of a loan, 6.0% of the funds advanced, unless fees in excess of such amount are approved by a majority of the Directors not interested in such transaction and by a majority of
the Independent Directors not interested in such transaction and which transaction is determined to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Advisor’s
obligations in Section 2 herein terminate or are waived by the Company, the Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or a portion of its rights under this Section 9(a). 

(b) The Advisor shall receive as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s assets the
Asset Management Fee. The amount of the Asset Management Fee shall be equal to 0.30% of Average Invested Assets, calculated monthly not to exceed one-twelfth of 0.30% of the Average Invested Assets of the Company as of the last day of the
immediately preceding quarter. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears by the Company in cash equal to 0.25% of Average Invested Assets and in Shares equal to 0.05% of Average Invested Assets, and may be deferred, in whole or in
part, from time to time, by the Advisor (without interest). For purposes of this Section 9(b), Shares shall be issued at the then-current issue price under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan or, in the event that the Company has
no distribution reinvestment plan, at the fair market value of the Shares as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors. 

(c) [Reserved.] 

(d) If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties,
the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive a Property Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 1.75% of the Contract Sales Price of such Property or Properties. The Property
Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates; provided, however, that the total real estate commissions paid to all Persons by the Company with respect to the Sale of such Property or Properties shall not
exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price of the Property or Properties or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. 
 (e) The Company shall pay the Advisor a Subordinated Performance Fee in connection with any one of the following events: 

(i) Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Performance Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of the
amount by which (i) the Market Value of the Company’s outstanding Shares plus distributions paid by the Company prior to Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of the Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return. The Company shall have the
option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a non-interest bearing promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing, as agreed to by the Advisor. Absent such agreement, the fee shall be paid in cash, provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to Sell any Real Estate Asset or Real Estate-Related Securities in order to pay such fee and any shortfall may be paid by the Company with a non-interest bearing promissory note. If the Company pays such fee with a non-interest
bearing promissory note, payment in full shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of the first Sale completed by the Company after Listing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after Listing are insufficient to pay the promissory note in
full, then the promissory note shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales until the amount owing pursuant to such promissory note is paid in full. If the promissory note
has not been paid in full within five years from the date of Listing, then the 

  
 11 

 
Advisor, or its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the unpaid balance into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days
immediately preceding the date of such election. If the Shares are no longer Listed at such time as the promissory note becomes convertible into Shares as provided by this paragraph, then the price per Share, for purposes of conversion, shall equal
the fair market value for the Shares as determined by the Board of Directors based upon the appraised value of the Company’s Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities as of the date of election; 

(ii) Upon a Sale, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Performance Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of net
sale proceeds remaining after the Stockholders have received the sum of the Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a non-interest bearing promissory note, or any
combination of the foregoing, as agreed to by the Advisor. Absent such agreement, the fee shall be paid in cash, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to Sell any additional Real Estate Asset or Real Estate-Related Securities in
order to pay such fee and any shortfall may be paid by the Company with a non-interest bearing promissory note; or 
 (iii) Upon termination, unless such termination is by the Company because of a material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor or occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive
a payment of the Subordinated Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised value of the Company’s Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities, valued on a portfolio basis, on the date of
termination of this Agreement, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Company’s Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities, plus the total distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the
date of termination of this Agreement, exceeds (ii) the sum of the Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return from inception through the date of termination of this Agreement. The Company shall pay such Subordinated Performance Fee at such
time as the Company completes the first Sale after the date of termination of this Agreement. Payment shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a
non-interest bearing promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing, as agreed to by the Advisor. Absent such agreement, the fee shall be paid in cash. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after the date of termination of this
Agreement are insufficient to pay the Subordinated Performance Fee in full, then the Subordinated Performance Fee shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales until the
Subordinated Performance Fee is paid in full. If the Subordinated Performance Fee has not been paid in full within five years from the date of termination of this Agreement, then the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the
balance of the fee into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election if the Shares are Listed at such time. If the Shares are not Listed at
such time, the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee into Shares at a price per Share equal to the fair market value for the Shares as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of the
Subordinated Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the value of the Company’s Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities on the date of termination of this Agreement as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, based upon such factors as the consideration paid in connection with the Change of Control and the most recent appraised value of the Company’s Real Estate Assets and
Real Estate-Related Securities, valued on a portfolio basis, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Company’s Real Estate Assets and Real Estate-Related Securities, plus the total distributions paid to

  
 12 

 
Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the date of termination of this Agreement, exceeds (ii) the sum of the Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return from inception
through the date of termination of this Agreement. No deferral of payment of the Subordinated Performance Fee may be made under this paragraph of this Section 9(e). In the event that the Advisor disagrees with the valuation of Shares pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 9(e) where the Shares are not Listed for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be issued to the Advisor following the Advisor’s election to convert the balance of the
Subordinated Performance Fee owed to the Advisor, then the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by an independent expert of equity value selected by the Advisor. 

Payment of a Subordinated Performance Fee may be in addition to, and shall be calculated after provision for payment of, any Acquisition
Fee or Property Disposition Fee paid or payable to the Advisor. In the event a subordinated fee or distribution is owed to any predecessor advisor to the Company or the Partnership, Advisor agrees to assume such obligation from the Company and make
payment to such predecessor advisor of such subordinated fee or distribution from the proceeds of any payments made to the Advisor by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(e). 

(f) In the event of the origination or refinancing of any debt financing obtained by the Company, or assumption (directly or indirectly)
of existing debt, that is used to acquire Real Estate Assets or originate or acquire Real Estate-Related Securities or is assumed (directly or indirectly) in connection with the acquisition of Real Estate Assets or the origination or acquisition of
Real Estate-Related Securities, and if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Independent Directors, in connection therewith, the Company will pay to the Advisor a fee (the “Financing Coordination Fee”)
equal to 1.0% of the amount available to the Company and/or outstanding under such debt financing; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be entitled to a Financing Coordination Fee in connection with the refinancing of any loan secured by
any particular Real Estate Asset or Real Estate-Related Security that was previously subject to a refinancing in which the Advisor received a Financing Coordination Fee. Financing Coordination Fees payable from loan proceeds from permanent financing
will be paid to the Advisor as the Company acquires such permanent financing; provided, however, that with respect to any revolving line of credit, the Advisor will be paid a Financing Coordination Fee only in connection with amounts being drawn for
the first time and not upon any re-drawing of amounts that previously were repaid by the Company. 
  

	10.	EXPENSES. 

 (a) In
addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor or an affiliate pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company or the Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or an affiliate in
connection with the services it provides to the Company and the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to: 
 (i) the Company’s Organizational and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for
any Organizational and Offering Expenses reimbursement received by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10, to the extent that such reimbursement exceeds the maximum amount permitted under the Prospectus or, at the option of the Company, such
excess shall be subtracted from the next reimbursement of expenses to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 10. The Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of all the Company’s Organizational and Offering Expenses in excess
of the maximum amount permitted under the Prospectus; 

  
 13 

 (ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection,
evaluation and acquisition of Properties; 
 (iii) the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and

 (iv) interest and
other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees; 
 (v) taxes and assessments
on income of the Company or its Real Estate Assets; 
 (vi) costs associated with insurance required in
connection with the business of the Company or by the Directors; 
 (vii) expenses of managing and operating
Properties owned by the Company, payable to the Property Manager; 
 (viii) all compensation and expenses payable
to the Independent Directors and all expenses payable to the non-Independent Directors in connection with their services to the Company and the Stockholders and their attendance at meetings of the Directors and Stockholders; 

(ix) expenses associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Shares, such as selling
commissions and fees, marketing and advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, Listing and registration fees, and other Organizational and Offering Expenses; 

(x) expenses connected with payments of distributions in cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Company to the
Stockholders; 
 (xi) expenses of amending, converting, liquidating or terminating the Company or the Charter;

 (xii) expenses of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing
and mailing annual and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities; 
 (xiii) administrative services expenses (including personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services for
which the Advisor receives a separate fee); 
 (xiv) transfer agent and registrar’s fees and charges paid to
third parties; and 
 (xv) audit, accounting, legal and other professional fees. 

(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be
reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Partnership and the calculation of the Asset Management Fee during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement
to the Company and the Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter. 

  
 14 

	11.	COMPENSATION FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES, CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. 

 (a) If the Company shall request the Advisor or its Affiliates to render services for the Company other than those required to be rendered by the Advisor hereunder, such additional services, if the
Advisor elects to perform them, will be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time in accordance with this Section. The rate of compensation for such services shall be approved by a
majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, and shall not exceed an amount that would be paid to nonaffiliated third parties for similar services. 

(b) In extraordinary circumstances, the Advisor and its Affiliates may provide other goods and services to the Company if all of the
following criteria are met: (i) the goods or services must be necessary to the prudent operation of the Company; and (ii) the compensation, price or fee must be equal to the lesser of the compensation, price or fee the Company would be
required to pay to independent parties who are rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods on competitive terms in the same geographic location, or the compensation, price or fee charged by the Advisor or its Affiliates for
rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods to third parties on competitive terms. In addition, any such payment will be subject to the further limitation described in paragraph (c) below. Extraordinary circumstances
shall be presumed only when there is an emergency situation requiring immediate action by the Advisor or its Affiliates and the goods or services are not immediately available from unaffiliated parties. Services which may be performed in such
extraordinary circumstances include emergency maintenance of Company Properties, janitorial and other related services due to strikes or lock-outs, emergency tenant evictions and repair services which require immediate action, as well as operating
and re-leasing properties with respect to which the leases are in default or have been terminated. 
 (c) No reimbursement will
be permitted to the Advisor or its Affiliates under Section 10(a) above for the salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items of any controlling persons of the Advisor, its Affiliates or any other supervisory
personnel except in those instances in which the Company believes it to be in the best interest of the Company that the Advisor or its Affiliates operate or otherwise deal with, for an interim period, a Property with respect to which the lease is in
default or terminated. Permitted reimbursements, except as set forth above, include salaries and related salary expenses for non-supervisory services which could be performed directly for the Company by independent parties such as legal, accounting,
transfer agent, data processing and duplication. Controlling persons, for purposes of this Section, include, but are not limited to, those entities or individuals holding 5.0% or more of the ownership interests of the Advisor or a person having the
power to direct or cause the direction of the Advisor, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and any person, irrespective of his or her title, who performs functions for the Advisor similar to those of:
(a) chairman or member of the board of directors; or (b) president or executive vice president. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses related to the activities of controlling persons undertaken in capacities other than those which cause them to be controlling
persons. The Advisor believes that the employees of the Advisor, its Affiliates and controlling persons who perform services for the Company for which reimbursement is allowed pursuant to Section 11(b) have the experience and educational
background, in their respective fields of expertise, appropriate for the performance of such services. 
 The Advisor and its
Affiliates may not be reimbursed by the Company for their overhead, nor can overhead costs or expenses of the Advisor or its Affiliates be allocated to or paid by the Company. The foregoing reimbursements of expenses, as limited by this Agreement,
will be made regardless of whether any cash distributions are made to the Stockholders. 

  
 15 

	12.	STATEMENTS. 

 The Advisor
shall furnish to the Company not later than the 30th day following the end of each Fiscal Year, a statement showing a computation of the fees or other compensation payable to the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor with respect to such Fiscal
Year under Sections 9 and 11 hereof. The final settlement of compensation payable under Sections 9 and 11 hereof for each Fiscal Year shall be subject to adjustments in accordance with, and upon completion of, the annual audit of the Company’s
financial statements. 
  

	13.	INTERNALIZATION OF THE ADVISOR. 

 The Company shall consider becoming a self-administered REIT once the Company’s assets and income are, in the view of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, of
sufficient size such that internalizing the management functions by the Advisor is in the best interests of the Stockholders. In the event that the Board of Directors determines to internalize any management functions provided by the Advisor,
neither the Company nor the Partnership shall pay any compensation or other remuneration to the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor in connection with the internalization transaction. The provisions of this Section 13 are not intended to
limit any other compensation or distribution the Company or Partnership may pay the Advisor in accordance with this Agreement or any other agreement. 
  

	14.	[Reserved.] 

  

	15.	REIMBURSEMENT BY ADVISOR. 

The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the “Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts,” as revised and
adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association on May 7, 2007, Total Operating Expenses of the Company shall be deemed to be excessive if in any Fiscal Year they exceed the greater of (a) 2.0% of the Company’s
Average Invested Assets for such Fiscal Year; or (b) 25.0% of the Net Income for such Fiscal Year. The Independent Directors shall have the fiduciary responsibility of limiting such expenses to amounts that do not exceed such limitations.
Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which Total Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceed 2.0% of Average Invested Assets or 25.0% of Net Income, whichever is greater, the Company shall send to the
Stockholders written notice of such fact together with the determination of the Independent Directors as to whether such higher operating expenses were justified and if so justified, an explanation of the facts the Independent Director considered in
arriving at that conclusion also shall be included. If the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses are not justified, then the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the aggregate expenses incurred by the Company
exceed the limitations described above at the end of the Fiscal Year; provided, however, that the Company may instead permit such reimbursements to be effected by a reduction in the amount of the next payments of compensation or reimbursement of
expenses under Sections 9 and 10. 
  

	16.	[Reserved.] 

  

	17.	OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. 

 Subject to the provisions specifically set forth herein, the Advisor and its Affiliates currently engage, and may engage in the future, in other businesses or activities including the rendering of
services 

  
 16 

 
and investment advice with respect to real estate investment opportunities to other persons or entities and may manage other investments (including the investments of the Advisor and its
Affiliates), including those in competition with the Company. The Advisor or its Affiliates may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The
Advisor shall report to the Board of Directors the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the
Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board of Directors knowledge of such condition or circumstance. 

Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Advisor or of Affiliates of the Advisor may serve as directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Company. 
  

	18.	TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. 

 This Agreement will have an initial term of one year from the Effective Date, subject to successive one year renewals with the mutual consent of the parties, which must include the approval of a majority
of the Independent Directors. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, either the Company or
the Advisor may terminate this Agreement, or any extension hereof, or the parties by mutual consent or a majority of the Independent Directors may do so, in each case upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty. In the event of the
termination of this Agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function. 

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 18, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation
of either party to the other, except as provided in Section 21. 
 If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, all
obligations of the Advisor and its Affiliates to offer property to the Company for purchase, as described in Section 2(a), also shall terminate. 
  

	19.	ASSIGNMENTS. 

 The Company
may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of its assignment by the Advisor except an assignment to a successor organization which acquires substantially all of the property and carries on the affairs of the Advisor, provided that
following such assignment the persons who controlled the operations of the Advisor immediately prior thereto shall control the operations of the successor organization, including the performance of its duties under this Agreement; however, if at any
time subsequent to such assignment such persons shall cease to control the operations of the successor organization, the Company may thereupon immediately terminate this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company without the
consent of the Advisor, except in the case of assignment by the Company to a corporation, trust or other organization which is a successor to the Company. Any assignment of this Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the
assignor is bound hereunder. 

  
 17 

	20.	DEFAULT, BANKRUPTCY, ETC. 

At the sole option of the Company, this Agreement shall be terminated immediately upon written notice of termination from the Board of
Directors to the Advisor if any of the following events occur: 
 (a) The Advisor violates any material provisions of this
Agreement and, after receipt of written notice of violation, such violation is not cured within 30 days; or 
 (b) A court of
competent jurisdiction enters a decree or order for relief in respect of the Advisor in any involuntary case under the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Advisor or for any substantial part of its property or orders the winding up or liquidation of the Advisor’s affairs; or 

(c) The Advisor commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the
Advisor or for any substantial part of its property, or makes any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due. 
 The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 20 occur, it will give written notice thereof to the Company within seven (7) days
after the occurrence of such event. 
  

	21.	ACTION UPON TERMINATION. 

The Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation after the date of termination of this Agreement for further services hereunder, but

	25.	LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. 

 (a) The Company shall, subject to the limitations imposed by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to the Advisor and its
Affiliates, provided, that: (i) the Advisor or other party seeking indemnification has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which cased the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Advisor or
other person seeking indemnification was acting on behalf of or performing services on the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence, misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal
