however, that no Disposition Fee shall be payable to the Advisor for any Sale if such Sale involves the Company selling all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business combination transaction (as
opposed to a Company liquidation, in which case the Disposition Fee would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). The payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to
the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.04 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee)

Management Fees.  If the Company retains the Advisor or its Affiliates to manage any of its Properties, the Company will pay the Advisor or its Affiliates in amounts that are usual and customary for comparable services rendered to
similar Properties in the geographic market; provided, however, that the Conflict Committee must determine that such Property Management Fees are fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those available from
unaffiliated third parties. Property Management Fees will include the reimbursement of the specified cost incurred by the Advisor of engaging third parties for such services. However, the Property Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or
in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Property Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall

 8.07 Subordinated Share of Cash Flows.  The Subordinated Share of Cash Flows shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 15%
of Operating Cash Flow and Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions of Operating Cash Flow and of Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings such that the owners of all outstanding

 a.  the Stockholders’ 8% Return and

 b.  Invested Capital. 
 When
determining whether the above threshold has been met: 
  

	 	(A)	Any stock dividend shall not be included as a Distribution; and 

  

	 	(B)	Distributions paid on Shares redeemed by the Company (and thus no longer included in the determination of Invested Capital), shall not be included as a Distribution.

 Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Cash Flows will be paid to the Advisor. 
 If the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows is payable to the Advisor, the Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the total
amount of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows for the applicable period. Generally, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such
month. However, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows not taken as to any fiscal year shall
be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

Distributions paid to Stockholders (excluding any stock dividends) from the Company’s inception until the date that Market Value is determined, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions
required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 8% Return from inception through the date Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note or
any combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following
Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor. In addition, the Subordinated Incentive Fee 

  

 17 

 
may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Incentive Fee not
taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

 ARTICLE 11 
 RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY; 
 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR 
 11.01 Relationship.  The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other 

  

 20 

 
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 manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. 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. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has
knowledge, that 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. 
 11.02 Time Commitment.  The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote
to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this 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.

continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company.

 The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “KBS.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use
the name “KBS” 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 “KBS” 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 “KBS” 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 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 “KBS.” 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 estate) and financial and service organizations having “KBS”
as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.

and complies with any protective order (or its equivalent) imposed on such disclosure.  Each Party shall return or destroy, at other Party’s option, all copies (including digital and electronic copies) of Proprietary Information at the end of term of this Agreement or at the request of the other Party.  Due to the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, any breach of this Section shall entitle the non-breaching party to seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief in
addition to whatever remedies it may have at law.

	
7.2.
