WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted bylaws (“Bylaws”) providing for the indemnification of the directors and executive officers of the Company (“Covered Persons”);

 

WHEREAS, the Bylaws and Nevada Revised Statute Sections 78.751 and 78.7502 (the “State Statutes”) specifically provide that they are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that agreements may be entered into between the Company and a Covered Person with respect to indemnification of such Covered Person;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, to continue to serve, and to take on additional service for and on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee is indemnified as set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service as a director and/or officer of the Company after the date hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Indemnification of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the State Statutes, or any successor statute or amendment thereof, or any other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting such indemnification that is adopted after the date of this Agreement.

 

2. Additional Indemnity. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend Indemnitee:

 

 (a) against any and all expenses (including fees for attorneys, accountants, private investigators, court and transcript costs, fees and expenses of witnesses, travel expenses and all other like disbursements or expenses reasonably incurred by or for Indemnitee), judgment damages, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgment, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by or for Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company) (a “Covered Action”) to which Indemnitee is made a party as a result of the fact that at the time of the act or omission which is the subject matter of such Covered Action Indemnitee was a director, officer or employee of the Company; and

 

(b) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Bylaws of the Company, the State Statutes or any employment agreement between the Company and Indemnitee. The provisions of this Agreement are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of such Bylaws, the State Statutes or any employment agreement between the Company and Indemnitee.

 

  

  

  

 

3. Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall be paid by the Company to the extent that:

 

(a) payment therefor is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy or policies, except with respect to any excess amount due to Indemnitee beyond the amount of payment to Indemnitee under such insurance policy or policies. Notwithstanding the availability of such insurance policy or policies, Indemnitee also may claim indemnification from the Company pursuant to this Agreement by assigning to the Company in writing any claims of Indemnitee under such insurance policy or policies to the extent of the amount Indemnitee is paid by the Company;

 

(b) Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(c) final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders of the Company in violation of the provisions of Subsection 2 of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.300, as amended;

 

(d) final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), or other similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

 

(e) Indemnitee’s conduct giving rise to the claim for indemnification is finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a breach of fiduciary duty which involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law; and/or

 

(f) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in connection with all or any part of a suit or other proceeding which is initiated or maintained by or on behalf of Indemnitee, or any suit or other proceeding by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required by Nevada law; (ii) the suit or other proceeding was expressly authorized by an official act of the Board of Directors of the Company or (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under Nevada law.

 

4. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a Covered Person, and shall continue thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a Covered Person.

 

5. Advancement of Expenses. In the event Indemnitee incurs costs or expenses in connection with the defense of any such civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (including any costs or expenses incurred for any appeal therefor), the Company agrees to pay such costs or expenses within 30 calendar days of submission of bills or vouchers for such costs or expenses, provided that Indemnitee delivers to Company prior to such payment a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay the amount paid by the Company, including amounts paid in settlement, if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses under the provisions of the State Statutes, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise. However, in the case of an action brought against Indemnitee by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Act, or other similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company, Indemnitee’s costs and expenses will not be advanced unless such advancement is approved by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.

 

6. Presumptions and Effect on Certain Proceedings. Upon making a request for indemnification, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, arbitration award, conviction or by a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not affect this presumption except as may be provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

  

2

  

 

7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, if a request with respect thereto is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company of any liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company as required herein:

 

(a) The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, shall be entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of Indemnitee in the action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense shall be at the sole expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee at the Company’s expense has been authorized in writing by the Company; (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, upon advice of counsel experienced in such matters, that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action; or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding. In each such instance set forth in (i) through (iii) of this paragraph (b), the reasonable cost of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought against Indemnitee by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided in (ii) above; and

 

(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.

 

8. Enforcement.

 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to continue as a Covered Person, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying on this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

 

(b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce his or her rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement, the Company shall advance Indemnitee all of Indemnitee’s reasonable fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action. Indemnitee shall be responsible for reimbursement to the Company of such advance unless it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnity is entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such fees and expenses under the provisions of the State Statutes, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise.

 

9. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on Indemnitee any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of time or to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or of Indemnitee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Indemnitee’s service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be provided otherwise in an agreement, if any, between the Company and Indemnitee.

 

10. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement are separate and distinct and independent of one another, so that if any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not effect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is so held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to amend such provision or to delete specific words or phrases so that such provision shall then be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law unless such change is contrary to the intent of the parties hereto.

 

  

3

  

 

11. Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of the amount of such payment to all rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary or reasonable to secure such rights, including, without limitation, the execution of such documents necessary or reasonable to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada without resort to conflict of laws principles.

 

13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said communication shall have been directed or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which said communication is so mailed and addressed to the appropriate party at the following address (as such address may be changed by a party by delivering notice of such change in the manner set forth in this Section 13):

Company shall be responsible for any compensation payable to any Sub-Advisor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor for any
expenses properly incurred by the Sub-Advisor, to the extent such expenses

the Operating Partnership.

 

8.             LIMITATIONS

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 Directors. In such event, the Advisor shall have no
liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the
Directors so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors,
officers, employees and members, and partners, directors, officers, members and
stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or

provided in Section 22 of this Agreement.

 

9.             RELATIONSHIP
WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement and to
restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a
REIT, directors, managers, officers and employees of the Advisor or an

10

 

10.          ADVISORY
FEE.

 

(a)           The Advisor is not entitled
to acquisition, disposition or financing fees.

 

(b)           The Advisor shall receive
the Advisory Fee as compensation for services rendered hereunder. The Advisory
Fee will be comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed component in
an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.9% of NAV for each day (the “Fixed
Component”) and (2) a performance component (the “Performance
Component”) that is paid annually and calculated based on the Annual Total
Return allocable to each class of shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

(c)           The Performance Component
will not be paid with respect to the Class A Shares or the Class W Shares, each
of which is evaluated independently when calculating the Performance Component for
any calendar year in which the Annual Total Return allocable to the applicable
class expressed as a percentage is less than or equal to 6.0% (the “Priority
Return Percentage”). For each class the dollar amount of the Performance
Component will equal 25.0% of the difference between (i) the Annual Total
Return allocable to Class A Shares or Class W Shares, as applicable and (ii) the
amount required to provide Class A Stockholders an Annual Total Return equal to
the Priority Return Percentage. In no event will the Performance Component
exceed 10.0% of the Annual Total Return allocable to Class A Shares or Class W
Shares, as applicable for any calendar year. 
In the event Class A NAV per share or Class W NAV per share decreases
below $10.00 on any day during the measurement period, subject to adjustment pursuant
to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar change
in the capital structure of the Company, any subsequent increase in such NAV
per share to $10.00 (or such other adjusted number) shall not be included in
the calculation of the Performance Component with respect to that class.  If the Performance Component is payable with
respect to Class A Shares or Class W Shares pursuant to this Section 10(c),
the Advisor will be entitled to such payment even in the event that the Annual
Total Return to Class A Stockholders or Class W Stockholders (or any particular
Stockholder) expressed as a percentage on a cumulative basis over any longer or
shorter period has been less than the Priority Return Percentage. The Advisor
shall not be obligated to return any portion of any Advisory Fee paid based on
the Company’s subsequent performance. The Performance Component may be earned
in a given period for one or more of the Company’s classes of common stock.

 

(d)           The Advisor shall, on a
daily basis, (i) accrue a liability reserve account equal to the amount
due for both the Fixed Component and the Performance Component, such accrual to
be reflected in the NAV per share calculations for such day; and (ii) calculate
the Annual Total Return allocable to Class A Shares and Class W Shares,
prorated as of the end of such day and, based on such calculation, adjust the
balance of liability reserve accrual to reflect the estimated amount due on
account of the Performance Component.

 

(e)           The Advisory Fee will accrue
daily and is payable in cash. The Fixed Component is payable monthly in arrears
(after the close of business and NAV calculations for the last Business Day for
such month), the Performance Component is payable promptly after the audited
financial statements for each calendar year become available, provided that if
this Agreement or its term expires without renewal prior to December 31 of
any calendar year, then the Performance Component for such partial year shall
be payable promptly after the Company files its unaudited financial statements
on Form 10-Q for the quarter that includes the Termination Date.  The Performance Component shall be payable
for each calendar year in which this Agreement is in effect, even if the Agreement
is in effect for less than a full calendar year.  In the event this Agreement is terminated or
its term expires without renewal, the Advisory Fee will be calculated and due
and payable after the calculation of NAV on the Termination Date. If the Advisory
Fee is payable with respect to any partial calendar month or calendar year, the
Fixed 

 

11

 

Component
will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during any partial
calendar month and the Performance Component will be prorated based on the
number of days elapsed during and Annual Total Return achieved for the period
of such partial calendar year.

 

(f)            In the event the Company or
the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its Investments during any
calendar year, the Company will pay the Advisor its Advisory Fee from the
proceeds of the liquidation and the performance component of the Advisory Fee
will be calculated at the end of the liquidation period prior to the
distribution of the liquidation proceeds to the Stockholders.

 

(g)           In lieu of cash, the Advisor
may elect to receive the payment of any of its fees in Shares, which shall be
paid as either Class A Shares or Class W Shares as determined by a majority of the
Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.  Any such Shares will be valued at the Company’s
NAV per Share applicable to their class on the issue date and will not be
eligible for redemption by the Advisor until six months from the issue date.

 

11.          EXPENSES.

 

(a)           As required by the NASAA
REIT Guidelines, the cumulative Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager Fees,
Distribution Fees and Organizational and Offering Expenses paid by the Company
will not exceed 15.0% of Gross Proceeds from the sale of Shares in the Primary
Offering.

 

(b)           In addition to the
compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the
Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the
Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection
with the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership

the Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering;

governmental entities;

 

(xii)          administrative
service expenses, including but not limited to personnel and related employment
costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services
described in Section 3 hereof, including but not limited to reasonable

primary job function relates to the Company’s business, provided that no
reimbursement shall be made for costs of such employees of the Advisor or its
Affiliates to the extent that such employees perform services for which the
Advisor receives a separate fee and provided further that in the event that
personnel costs are reimbursed for individuals who serve as executive officers
of the Company, the Advisor shall cause the Company to include disclosures of
the amount of such costs in its next quarterly or annual report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission; and

 

(xiii)         audit,
accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to
the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on
behalf of, the Board, the Independent Directors or any committee of the Board.

 

(c)           Expenses incurred by the
Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable
pursuant to this Section 11 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to
the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of
the Company and the Operating Partnership and the calculation of the Advisory
Fee during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and
the Operating Partnership within forty-five (45) days after the end of
each quarter.

 

(d)           In lieu of cash, the Advisor
may elect to receive the reimbursement of any of its expenses in Shares, which
shall be paid as either Class A Shares or Class W Shares as determined by a
majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.  Any such Shares will be valued at the Company’s
NAV per Share applicable to their respective class on the issue date and will
not be eligible for redemption by the Advisor until six months from the issue
date.

 

(e)           Organizational and Offering Expenses
incurred by the Advisor prior to the date the Company receives the escrowed
offering proceeds from the Company’s escrow agent as set forth in the
Registration Statement shall be reimbursed by the Company
to the Advisor over 60 months.

 

12.          OTHER SERVICES. Should the

rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent
Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of
Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

 

13.          REIMBURSEMENT TO THE
ADVISOR. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the
end of any fiscal quarter for Total Operating Expenses that in the four
consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceeded
(the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2.0% of Average Invested Assets or
25.0% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the
Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on
unusual and nonrecurring 

 

13

 

factors
that the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do
not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the
Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Independent
Directors determine such excess was justified, then, within sixty
(60) days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which
total reimbursed Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the
2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors,
shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the
Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly
report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within sixty (60) days of such quarter
end), together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors
considered in determining that such excess were justified. The Company will
ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings
of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computations shall be
determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

 

14.          OTHER
ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.

 

(a)           Relationship. Nothing
herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from
engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without
limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (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 any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of the
Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or
to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm,
individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. The
Advisor 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, and

contemplated that the Company may enter into joint ventures or other similar
co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements
governing such joint ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to

Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates

such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs

Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and
their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities
unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the
Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

(c)           Investment
Opportunities. The Advisor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to present to the Company and the Operating Partnership a number of potential
investment opportunities appropriate for the portfolio of the Company and the
Operating Partnership consistent with the investment policies and objectives of
the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be
obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the
Company or the Operating Partnership even if the opportunity is of a character
that, if presented to the Company or the Operating Partnership, could be taken
by the Company or the Operating Partnership. In the event an investment
opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts
of Interest — Certain Conflict Resolution Measures — Allocation of Investment
Opportunities” in the Prospectus shall govern the allocation of the opportunity
among the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and
Affiliates of the Advisor, on the other hand; provided any changes to the
procedure shall be presented in advance and approved by the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Directors.

 

15.          RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.
The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Advisor on the other, are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and 

 

14

 

nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint
venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

 

16.          THE
CLARION NAME.  The Advisor and its Affiliates have a
proprietary interest in the name “Clarion.” 
The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable,
non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Clarion”
during the term of this Agreement. 
Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the
Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform
advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of
written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the
name “Clarion” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name
and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the
name “Clarion” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable
discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of
relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.  At such time, the Company will also make any
changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any
references to the word “Clarion.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically
recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past
and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other
investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in Real Property and
Real Estate Related Assets) and financial and service organizations having “Clarion”
as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the
right to object thereto) by the Company.

 

17.          TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement
shall continue in force for a period of one year from the Effective Date,
subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual
consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Directors to evaluate the
performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each
such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.

 

18.          TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement
may be terminated (i) immediately by the Company or the Operating
Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor or upon a material
breach of this Agreement by the Advisor; provided, that such material breach is
not capable of being cured or has not been cured within sixty (60) days
after the giving of notice thereof by the Company or the Operating Partnership
to the Advisor; (ii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice without
Cause or penalty by a majority vote of the Independent Directors; or (iii) upon
sixty (60) days’ written notice by the Advisor. The provisions of
Sections 16 and 20 through 32 survive termination of this Agreement.

 

19.          ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement
may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority
of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The
Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this
Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This
Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership
without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the
Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited partnership or
other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and
obligations of the Company 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 the Company and the Operating Partnership are
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 except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the
Operating Partnership within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses 

 

15

 

and
all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this
Agreement, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

 

(b)           The Advisor shall promptly
upon termination:

 

(i)            pay over to the
Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the
account of the Company and the Operating Partnership 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;

 

(iii)          deliver to the
Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and
the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and

 

(iv)          cooperate with
the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management
transition.

 

21.          INDEMNIFICATION BY THE
COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the
Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its
Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and
employees (the “Indemnitees,” and each an “Indemnitee”), from all
liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties
hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the
extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not
fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification
would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland, the Articles
of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT
Guidelines.

 

22.          INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership
from contract or other 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, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided,
however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the
Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by
the Advisor.

 

23.          NON-SOLICITATION. During the
period commencing on the Effective Date and ending one year following the
Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written
consent, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to
leave the employment or other service of the Advisor or its Affiliates, or (ii) hire,
on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left
the employment within the one year period following the termination of that
person’s employment the Advisor or its Affiliates. During the period commencing
on the date hereof through and ending one year following the Termination Date,
the Company will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any
other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or
its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its
Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the
preceding one-year period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint
venturer or other customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.

Any
party may at any time give notice in writing to the other parties of a change
in its address for the purposes of this Section 24.

 

(b)           Modification.  This Agreement shall not be
changed, modified, terminated, or discharged, in whole or in part, except by an
instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective
successors or assignees.

 

(c)           Severability.  The provisions of this
Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision
shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact
that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable
in whole or in part.

 

(d)           Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction;
Jury Trial.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York without regard to the conflicts-of-law principles that would
require the application of any other law. The parties hereby irrevocably submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the
Federal courts of the United States of America located in Borough of Manhattan,
New York for purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising from this
Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any
action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or
thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding
may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue
thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may
not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereby consent to and
grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the
subject matter of any such dispute. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(e)           Entire Agreement.   This Agreement contains the
entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or
written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.
The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or
usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

 

17

 

(f)            Indulgences, Not Waivers.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise
any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a
waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other
occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed
by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

(g)           Gender.  Words used herein regardless
of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to
include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine,
feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

 

(h)           Titles Not to Affect Interpretation.  The titles of Sections and
Subsections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and they
