 Exhibit 4.1 

STATEMENT REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON 

TRANSFERABILITY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 

(To Appear on Stock Certificate or to Be Sent upon Request 

and without Charge to Stockholders Issued Shares without Certificates) 

The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership, Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the
purpose of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as
expressly provided in the Corporation’s charter: (a) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder shall be applicable); (b) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the
Corporation in excess of 9.8% of the value of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder shall be applicable);
(c) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT;
and (d) other than as provided in the Corporation’s charter, no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who
Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock that causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of
the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice and provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in
order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT. If any of the restrictions on Transfer or ownership are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to
a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries or, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. In addition, the Corporation
may redeem shares of Capital Stock upon the terms and conditions specified by the board of directors in its sole discretion if the board of directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or any other event may violate the restrictions described.

 Until the Common Stock is Listed, to purchase Common Stock, the purchaser must represent to the Corporation: (i) that such purchaser
(or, in the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, that the beneficiary, fiduciary account or grantor or donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase the shares if the grantor or donor is the fiduciary) has a minimum annual gross
income of $70,000 and a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $70,000; (ii) that such purchaser (or, in the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, that the beneficiary, fiduciary account or grantor or donor
who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase the shares if the grantor or donor is the fiduciary) has a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $250,000; and/ or (iii) that the purchaser (or,
in the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, that the beneficiary, fiduciary account or grantor or 

 
donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase the shares if the grantor or donor is the fiduciary) meets the more stringent suitability standards of such person’s
jurisdiction as set forth in any then effective registration statement of the Corporation as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented as of the date of such purchase. Until the Common Stock is Listed, unless a stockholder is
transferring all of his shares of Common Stock, each issuance or transfer of shares of Common Stock for value shall comply with the requirements regarding minimum initial and subsequent cash investment amounts set forth in any then effective
registration statement of the Corporation as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented as of the date of such issuance or transfer for value or any higher or lower applicable state requirements with respect to minimum initial and
subsequent cash investment amounts in effect as of the date of the issuance or transfer. 
 All capitalized terms in this legend have the
meanings defined in the charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on Transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request
and without charge. 
 Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish to a stockholder on
request and without charge a full statement about certain restrictions on transferability. Such statement shall also be sent on request and without charge to stockholders who are issued shares without a certificate.EX-10.45

the Advisor, which shall have the power by itself and shall be authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Company to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the
Company and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may in its sole discretion deem necessary, advisable or incidental thereto to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

4.03 Approval by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor may not take
any action on behalf of the Company without the prior approval of the Board or duly authorized committees thereof if the Charter or Maryland General Corporation Law require the prior approval of the Board. The Advisor will deliver to the Board all
documents required by it to evaluate a proposed investment (and any related financing) or disposition. 
 
4.04 Modification or Revocation of Authority of Advisor. The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority or approvals set forth in Article 3 and this Article 4 hereof; provided, however,
that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such
notification. 
 ARTICLE 5 

BANK ACCOUNTS 

The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company and the Operating Partnership and
any subsidiary thereof and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership, consistent with the Advisor’s authority under
this Agreement, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time render, upon request by the Board, its audit committee or the auditors of the Company, appropriate accountings of such
collections and payments to the Board, its audit committee and the auditors of the Company, as applicable. 

ARTICLE 6 

RECORDS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Advisor, in the conduct of its responsibilities to the Company and the Operating Partnership, shall maintain adequate and
separate books and records for the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s operations in accordance with GAAP, which shall be supported by sufficient documentation to ascertain that such books and records are properly and accurately
recorded. Such books and records shall be the property of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, and shall be available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and other authorized agents of the Company, at any time or
from time to time during normal business hours. Such books and records shall include all information necessary to calculate and audit the fees or reimbursements paid under this Agreement. The Advisor shall utilize procedures to attempt to ensure
such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably required to protect the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s assets from theft, error or fraudulent activity. All financial statements that the Advisor delivers
to the 

  
 11 

 
Company and the Operating Partnership shall be prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, except for special financial reports that by their nature require a deviation from GAAP. The
Advisor shall liaise with the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s officers and independent auditors and shall provide such officers and auditors with the reports and other information that each so requests. 

ARTICLE 7 

LIMITATION ON ACTIVITIES 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall not take any action that, in its sole
judgment made in good faith, would (i) adversely affect the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, (ii) subject the Company or the Operating Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Company’s Shares or the Company’s and the
Operating Partnership’s other securities, (iv) require the Advisor to register as a broker-dealer with the SEC or any state, or (v) violate the Charter, Bylaws or Operating Partnership Agreement. In the event an action that would
violate (i) through (v) of the preceding sentence but such action has been ordered by the Board, the Advisor shall notify the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action
until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Board, or the Stockholders for any
act or omission by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 
15.04 of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 8 

MANAGEMENT FEE 

8.01 The Company will pay the Advisor a management fee (the “Company Management Fee”) equal to 1.25% of the
NAV of the Company per annum payable monthly. The Operating Partnership will pay the Advisor a management fee (the “OP Management Fee” and, together with the Company Management Fee, the “Management Fee”) equal to
1.25% of the aggregate NAV of Units held by unitholders other than the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries per annum payable monthly. For purposes of determining the Management Fee, the NAV of the Company and the NAV of the
Units will be calculated before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, Distribution Fees, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) or any Distributions payable on Shares or distributions payable
on Units. The Advisor shall receive the Management Fees as compensation for services rendered hereunder. 
 8.02 The Company
Management Fee may be paid, at the Advisor’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class I Common Stock or Class I Units. The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Advisor’s election, in cash or cash
equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class I Units. Subject to this Section 8.02, if the Advisor elects to receive any portion of its Management Fee in Class I Common Stock or Class I Units, the Advisor may elect

  
 12 

 
to have the Company or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class I Common Stock or Class I Units from the Advisor at a later date (including any Class I Common Stock or
Class I Units issued in a dividend or distribution reinvestment plan or issued as a stock dividend related thereto). Such Class I Common Stock and Class I Units obtained by the Advisor as payment for the Management Fee will not be
subject to the redemption limits of the Company’s share redemption program (except as provided below) or any reduction or penalty for an early redemption or otherwise. To the extent that the Advisor elects to receive any portion of the
Management Fee in Class I Common Stock, the Company will repurchase such Class I Common Stock (including any Class I Common Stock issued in a dividend or distribution reinvestment plan or issued as a stock dividend related thereto)
from the Advisor, at the Advisor’s election, unless such repurchase would both (i) when combined with any redemption requests submitted by Stockholders through the Company’s share redemption program, cause the Company’s aggregate
redemptions for such month to exceed 2% of the Company’s aggregate NAV as of the last day of the previous calendar month or, in any calendar quarter, cause the Company’s aggregate redemptions for such quarter to exceed 5% of the
Company’s aggregate NAV as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter and (ii) in the sole determination of the Conflicts Committee of the Company, materially adversely affect the liquidity or financial condition of the Company. The
Operating Partnership will repurchase any such Units for cash unless the Board determines that any such repurchase for cash would be prohibited by applicable law, the Charter or the Operating Partnership Agreement, in which case such Units will be
repurchased for the Company’s Class I Common Stock with an equivalent aggregate NAV, and the Advisor may elect to have the Company repurchase such Class I Common Stock, subject to the limitations of the immediately preceding sentence.

 8.03 With respect to any such Shares received as payment for the Management Fee (inclusive of Shares ultimately received
in exchange for Class I Units or Class I Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02) (collectively, the “Management Fee Shares”), within six months after a Listing of the Shares, the Advisor and the
Company covenant and agree to negotiate in good faith and enter into a registration rights agreement for the Management Fee Shares with terms mutually agreeable to the Company and the Advisor. Such registration rights agreement shall be in customary
form for agreements of this type entered into by REITs with institutional investors prior to an initial public offering and will provide for: (a) a long-form “demand” registration right exercisable once by the Advisor; (b)
“shelf” registration rights so long as Form S-3 is available to the Company; (c) “piggy-back” registration rights; and (d) in the event of “underwriters’ cut-backs” in relation to a demand registration, a shelf registration or any piggyback registration, the ability of the Company to reduce the number of Management Fee Shares to be registered on a pro rata basis
with other registering stockholders. 
 8.04 In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal,
the Advisor will be entitled to receive its prorated Management Fee through the date of termination. Such pro ration shall take into account the number of days of any partial calendar month or calendar year for which this Agreement was in effect.

  
 13 

 8.05 In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership commences a
liquidation of its Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments during any calendar year, the Company and the Operating Partnership will pay the Advisor the Management Fee from the proceeds of the liquidation. 

ARTICLE 9 

EXPENSES 
 
9.01 General. In addition to the Management Fee paid to the Advisor pursuant to Article 8 hereof, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for all of the expenses paid or

the Company and the Operating Partnership to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances;

(xv) All other out-of-pocket

9.02 Timing of and Additional Limitations on Reimbursements. 

(i) Expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership
and reimbursable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor or its Affiliates, as applicable. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership during
each quarter and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter. 

(ii) The following limitation on Operating Expenses shall apply: The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor
at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses 

  
 15 

 
that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of
Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Conflicts Committee determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Conflicts Committee deems sufficient. If the Conflicts
Committee does 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 Conflicts Committee determines such excess was justified, then, within 60 days after
the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Conflicts Committee, 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 SEC within 60 days of such
quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Conflicts Committee considered in determining that such excess expenses 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 computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. 
 
ARTICLE 10 
 VOTING AGREEMENT 

The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it, the Advisor will not vote or consent on
matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company regarding (i) the removal of the Advisor, a director or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any transaction between the Company and the Advisor, a director or any of their Affiliates. This
voting restriction shall survive until such time that the Advisor is both no longer serving as such and is no longer an Affiliate of the Company. 

ARTICLE 11 

RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR, COMPANY AND OPERATING PARTNERSHIP; 

OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR 

11.01 Relationship. 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 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 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 or the Operating Partnership 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 the Operating Partnership and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. 

  
 16 

 11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company and the Operating Partnership such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company and the
Operating Partnership in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage
in activities unrelated to the Company and the Operating Partnership and may provide services to Persons other than the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their Affiliates. 

11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use
commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company and the Operating Partnership that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company and the Operating Partnership, 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 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 most recently effective Registration Statement for the sale of the Company’s Shares, 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. 
 ARTICLE 12 

THE KBS NAME 

The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “KBS.” The Advisor hereby grants to the
Company and the Operating Partnership 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 and the Operating Partnership cease to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for
the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Company and the Operating Partnership 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 and the Operating Partnership shall change their names and the names of any of their 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 among the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Advisor or any its Affiliates, on the other. At such time, the Company and the Operating Partnership 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 the Operating Partnership. 

  
 17 

 ARTICLE 13 

TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT 

13.01 Term. This Agreement shall have an initial term of one year from the date
hereof and may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. The Company (acting through the Conflicts Committee) will evaluate the performance of the
Advisor annually before renewing this Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. Any such renewal must be approved by the Conflicts Committee. 

13.02 Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days
written notice without cause or penalty by either the Company (acting through the Conflicts Committee) or the Advisor. The provisions of Articles 1, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 16 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

13.03 Payments on Termination and Survival of Certain Rights and Obligations.
Payments to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 13.03 shall be subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable. 

(i) After the termination or expiration of this Agreement, 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 30 days after the effective date of such termination or expiration all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but
unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 (ii) The Advisor
shall promptly upon termination or expiration: 
 (a) pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership
all money collected pursuant to this Agreement, if any, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; 

(b) 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; 

(c) deliver to the Board all assets and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the
custody of the Advisor; and 
 (d) cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an
orderly transition of advisory functions. 
 ARTICLE 14 

ASSIGNMENT 
 This
Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the consent of the Conflicts Committee. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under 

  
 18 

 
this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board or the Conflicts Committee. 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, partnership or other organization that is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating
Partnership, as applicable, 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. 

ARTICLE 15 

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

15.01 Indemnification of the Advisor and its Affiliates. Except as prohibited by the
restrictions provided in this Section 15.01, Section 15.02 and Section 15.03 and subject to any limitations imposed by Maryland General Corporation Law and the Charter, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, partners and employees, 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. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the
Company and the Operating Partnership and not from Stockholders. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the
Operating Partnership shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions
are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related
costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company and the
Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws. 
 
15.02 Limitation on Indemnification of the Advisor and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or its Affiliates for any liability or
loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless all of the following conditions are met: 

(i)    The Advisor or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of
conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership. 

  
 19 

 (ii)    The Advisor or its Affiliates
were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company or the Operating Partnership. 

(iii)    Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the
Advisor or its Affiliates. 
 15.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses of the Advisor
and its Affiliates. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to
the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf
of the Company or the Operating Partnership, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or, if by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such
advancement and (c) the Advisor or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the
particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 
 15.04 Indemnification of
the Company and the Operating Partnership. To the fullest and broadest extent permitted by law, the Advisor shall indemnify, defend 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 (i) are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (ii) are incurred by reason of the
Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement; 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.
