ARTICLE I
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

1.1    Investment Allocation.  
(a)The parties hereto agree that, during the term of this Agreement: 

1

(i)     In accordance with Section 8.4 of the PE-ARC Sub-advisory Agreement, until such time as PE-ARC has substantially invested or committed to investment all of the equity raised by PE-ARC during the Offering Period, PE-ARC shall have the right of first refusal to acquire any Investment before PE-ARC II may pursue the acquisition of any such Investment, except as may otherwise be agreed upon in writing by the boards of directors of each of the Funds.  All of the equity raised by PE-ARC during the Offering Period will be deemed to have been substantially invested or committed to investment when, in the aggregate, the net equity raised by PE-ARC during the Offering Period has (1) been utilized by PE-ARC to acquire real estate and/or real estate-related assets and, (2) to the extent any remaining equity has not been utilized by PE-ARC to acquire real estate and/or real estate-related assets, such remaining equity has been allocated by PE-ARC and the PE-ARC Sub-advisor for the purposes of funding the acquisition of additional real estate and/or real estate-related assets for which PE-ARC, the PE-ARC Sub-advisor or one of their affiliates has executed purchase and sale agreements and/or letters of intent for the purposes of acquiring any such assets; and
(ii)     After such time as PE-ARC has substantially invested or committed to investment all of the equity raised by PE-ARC during the Offering Period, if either Fund Sub-advisor determines that an Investment is an appropriate acquisition for the Fund for which it serves as sub-advisor, such Investment shall be submitted for approval to the board of directors of the Fund that less recently received allocation of an Investment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Such allocations will be made on a rotational basis based upon the date upon which a purchase and sale agreement for each Investment was executed by either of the Fund Sub-advisors or their affiliates.  If the board of directors of the Fund to which such Investment is first submitted for approval determines to forego the opportunity to acquire such Investment, then such Investment shall be submitted to the other Fund’s board of directors for its approval.  If both Funds last received the allocation of Investments the purchase and sale agreements for which were executed on the same date, any subsequent Investment shall be allocated to the Fund with the smallest portfolio of real estate assets (as measured by aggregate purchase price) at the time the purchase and sale agreement for such subsequent Investment is executed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Fund Sub-advisor, within its discretion as a fiduciary of the respective Fund for which it serves as sub-advisor, determines that the Fund for which it serves as sub-advisor does not have sufficient capital to acquire a certain Investment or that the acquisition of a certain Investment would result in an undesired level of concentration of properties in the Fund’s portfolio (including, but not limited to, concentration by geographical location, concentration of grocery-anchor tenant, or concentration of properties the acquisition of which requires the assumption of existing debt), then such Investment may be allocated to the other Fund and submitted directly to its board of directors without following the procedures set forth in this Section 1.1(a)(ii).  
(b)If any Fund elects to pursue a Portfolio Investment in accordance with Section 1.1(a), but has insufficient capital to acquire all of such Portfolio Investment, such Portfolio Investment shall be submitted in its entirety to the board of directors of the other Fund without following the procedures set forth in Section 1.1(a)(ii).  If neither Fund has sufficient capital to acquire such Portfolio Investment in its entirety, then the Fund Sub-advisors shall agree to divide the individual Investments that constitute such Portfolio Investment in an equitable manner and present the plan for the equitable division of the individual Investments and such individual Investments allocated to each Fund to the boards of directors of both Funds.  It is within the discretion of the board of directors of each Fund to approve the plan for the equitable division of the individual Investments and the acquisition of each individual Investment. To the extent that the board of directors of either Fund does not approve 

2

the plan for the equitable division of the individual Investments, the boards of directors of both Funds shall negotiate with each other directly in establishing an alternative plan for the equitable division of the individual Investments.  To the extent that the boards of directors of both Funds approve the plan for the equitable division of the individual Investments but the board of directors of either Fund foregoes the opportunity to acquire any individual Investment, such individual Investment shall be presented to the board of directors of the other Fund.
