[1999 Stock Option Plan or 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan]

Amendment to Stock Option Agreement

 

 

The following amendment to your [Insert Grant Date] stock
option grant award agreement is effective February 15, 2013:

 

Dividend Equivalent Payments. If the Company declares
and pays an ordinary cash dividend to its shareholders while any portion of the Option remains outstanding and unvested, the Optionee
may become entitled to receive a dividend equivalent payment, subject to the following limitations. Any such dividend equivalent
payment will be paid, in cash, on the date of vesting of the applicable portion of the Option. Any such payment will be equal to
the aggregate of any ordinary cash dividends distributed by the Company to its shareholders, from the date of grant until the applicable
vesting date, on a single share of common stock multiplied by the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option vesting
on such date.

 

Once any portion of the Option has vested, the Optionee thereafter
will have the right to receive a dividend equivalent payment with respect to the vested, unexercised portion of the Option, which
payment (if any) will be made quarterly on the first day of the calendar quarter following the
most recent dividend record date. Any such payment will be equal to the dividends paid on a share of Common Stock multiplied
by the number of shares relating to such vested portion of the Option. In no event will an Optionee
receive more than one dividend equivalent payment per record date per Option share.

 

For clarity, if any portion (or all) of the Option never vests
for any reason, the Optionee will not be entitled to receive any dividend equivalent payments pursuant to this provision. Moreover,
if the Optionee exercises any portion of the Option, the Optionee will no longer be entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments
with respect to the portion of the Option exercised by the Optionee. Finally, if any portion of the Option that is outstanding
and vested terminates without being exercised by the Optionee, the Optionee will no longer be eligible to receive any dividend
equivalent payments with respect to such portion of the Option.EXHIBIT 10.2

services described in Section 3.

 

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any investment in Real Estate Assets, including any financing thereof, will require the prior approval of the Board, any particular
Directors specified by the Board or any committee of the Board, as the case may be.

 

     (c) If a transaction requires
approval by the Independent Directors, the Advisor will deliver to the Independent Directors all documents and other information
required by them to properly evaluate the proposed transaction.

 

     (d)
The prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction and a majority of the
Board not otherwise interested in the transaction will be required for each transaction to which the Advisor or its Affiliates
is a party. Any acquisition of Real Property from the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof will require
(a) confirmation from a competent independent appraiser who is a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute that
the purchase price is equal to or less than the fair market value of such Real Property, and (b) a determination by a majority
of Board members not otherwise interested in the transaction, including a majority of the Independent
Directors, that the transaction and the purchase price are fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the Company.

 

     (e) The Board may, at any time
upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4; 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 or the Operating Partnership prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such
notification.

 

     5. BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor
may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of the Company or the Operating Partnership
or in the name of the Company and the Operating Partnership 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, under such terms and
conditions as the Board may approve, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor
shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and to the auditors of the
Company.

 

     6. RECORDS; ACCESS. The
Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the
Directors and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Company, at any time or from time to time during normal business
hours. The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

 

    	8

    	 

    
 

 

     7. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES.
Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its
sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT unless the Board has determined
that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders, (b) subject the Company to regulation
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental
body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its Shares, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall promptly 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. In such event, the Advisor shall have no liability for acting
in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors,
officers, employees and members, and the partners, directors, officers, members and stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates
shall not be liable to the Company or to the Directors or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers,
employees, or members, and the partners, directors, officers, members or stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates taken or
omitted to be taken in the performance of their duties under this Agreement except as provided in Section 20 of this Agreement.

 

     8. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS.
Subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT,
directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parent of an Affiliate, may serve
as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who
also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer
other than reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and no such Director
shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying the Director independence requirement set forth in the Articles
of Incorporation.

 

     9. FEES.

 

     (a)Acquisition Fees.
The Advisor shall receive an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company as compensation for services rendered in connection with the
investigation, selection, sourcing, due diligence and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Real Estate Assets or
investments. The total Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates shall equal 2.50% of the purchase price. The purchase
price of an Investment shall equal the amount paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a
property, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of debt associated with such Real Estate Asset or investment. The
purchase price allocable for a joint venture investment shall equal the product of (i) the purchase price in the underlying Real
Estate Asset and (ii) the Company’s ownership percentage in the joint venture. For purposes of this section, “ownership
percentage” shall be the percentage of capital stock (or equivalent indicia of ownership) owned by the Company, without regard
to classification of such capital stock. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of
each Real Estate Asset or Investment, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee. The Company shall pay the Acquisition
Fee promptly following receipt of the invoice.

 

     (b)Limitation on Total
Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. Pursuant to the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the total of all Acquisition Fees, origination
fees, and Acquisition Expenses payable in connection with any Investment shall not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price,
as defined in the Articles of Incorporation, of the Investment acquired.

 

     (c)Disposition Fee.
In connection with a Sale of an Investment (except for such Investments that are traded on a national securities exchange) in which
the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Independent Directors,
the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its Affiliate a Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real
Estate Commission or (ii) 1.5% of the Contract Sales Price of such Investment. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 9(c)
may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including
such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for the Sale of each Investment shall not exceed 6.0% of the Contract
Sales Price. Substantial assistance in connection with a Sale may include the preparation of an investment package (for example,
for a Sale, a package including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report,
an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits) or other such substantial services performed in connection with a Sale.

 

    	9

    	 

    
 

 

     (d)Asset Management
Fee. The Advisor shall receive the Asset Management Fee as compensation for services rendered in connection with the day-to-day
management of the Company’s assets and operations. The Asset Management Fee shall be equal to a monthly fee of one-twelfth
of 0.65%, of the higher of (A) the aggregate cost of each Investment the Company acquires, excluding Acquisition Fees and Acquisition
Expenses but including any debt attributable to the asset (including debt encumbering the asset after its acquisition) and other
Investments, provided that, with respect to any Real Estate Assets developed, constructed or improved by the Company, cost for
purposes herein shall include the amount expended by the company for such development, construction or improvement and (B) the
fair market value of each Investment (before non-cash reserves, bad debt and depreciation) as determined by an independent valuation
report, if available; provided, however, that 50% of the Asset Management Fee payable hereunder will not be paid until Stockholders
have received Distributions in an amount equal to at least a 6.0% per annum cumulative, non-compounded return on Invested Capital,
at which time all unpaid portions of the Asset Management Fee shall become due and payable). The Asset Management Fee will be based
only on the portion of the cost or value attributable to the Company’s investment in an asset if the Company does not own
all of an asset. The amount of the Asset Management Fee for each calendar month hereunder shall be calculated as of the last day
of such month and shall be prorated for any partial month.

 

     (e)Property Management
Fee. The Advisor or its Affiliate shall receive a Property Management Fee equal to 4.0% of the monthly gross revenues from
any Real Property it manages, payable monthly. In the alternative, should the Company contract property management services for
certain Real Properties to non-Affiliated third parties, the Advisor shall receive an Oversight Fee equal to 1.0% of monthly gross
revenues of such Real Properties so managed.

 

     (f)Financing Fee.
The Advisor shall receive a Financing Fee equal to 1.0% of the amount made available to the Company under any Loan made available
to it. The Advisor may reallow some or all of this Financing Fee to reimburse third parties with whom it may subcontract to procure
any such Loan.

 

     (g)Exclusion of Certain
Transactions. In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which
the Advisor, any Affiliate of the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest,
then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the members of the Board not otherwise interested in such transaction,
including a majority of the Independent Directors.

 

10. EXPENSES.

 

     (a) In addition to the compensation
paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 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 or its Affiliates in connection with the services it provides to
the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

 

     (i) Organization and Offering
Expenses other than the Selling Commission and the Dealer Manager Fee; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse
the Advisor to the extent such reimbursement would cause the total amount of Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Company
and the Operating Partnership to exceed 15.0% of the Gross Proceeds raised as of the date of the reimbursement;

 

     (ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred
in connection with the selection and acquisition of Investments subject to the aggregate 6.0% cap on Acquisition Fees, origination
fees, and Acquisition Expenses set forth in Section 9(b);

 

      (iii) the actual cost
of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor;

 

    	10

    	 

    
 

 

 

      (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 Investments;

 

      (vi) costs associated
with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

 

     (vii) expenses of managing and
operating Investments owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-affiliated Person;

 

      (viii) all expenses in
connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Board and Stockholders;

 

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

 

      (x) expenses connected
with payments of Distributions;

 

     (xi) expenses of organizing, revising,
amending, converting, modifying, or terminating the Company or any subsidiary thereof or the Articles of Incorporation or governing
documents of any subsidiary;

 

     (xii) expenses of maintaining
communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder
reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

 

     (xiii) administrative service
expenses (including (a) personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent
that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the Advisor receives Acquisition Fees, Asset Management Fees, or
Disposition Fees, and (b) the Company’s allocable share of other overhead of the Advisor such as rent and utilities); and

 

      (xiv) audit, accounting
and legal fees.

 

     (b) Expenses incurred by the
Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed no less
than monthly to the Advisor.

 

     (c) 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.

 

     11. OTHER SERVICES. Should
the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating
Partnership other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts
as are agreed upon by the Advisor and the Board, including a majority of 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.

 

     12. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR.
The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses for 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. Any Excess Amount
paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or, at the option of the Company, subtracted from the
Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and
the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient,
then the Excess Amount may be reimbursed to the Advisor at such time as the Advisor, in its sole discretion, requests, provided
that there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such determination, together with an explanation of the factors
the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall 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.

 

    	11

    	 

    
 

 

     13. INTERNALIZATION OF THE ADVISOR.
In the event that the Board determines to internalize any management functions provided by the Advisor, neither the Company
nor the Operating 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 distributions the Company or the Operating Partnership may pay the Advisor in accordance with this Agreement or any other agreement.

 

     14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE
ADVISOR. 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; provided, however, that the Advisor must devote sufficient resources
to the Company’s business to discharge its obligations to the Company under this Agreement. 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 earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is 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 provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn
fees for rendering such advice and service.

 

     The Advisor shall report to the
Board 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 partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose
to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment
programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, the Advisor
shall inform the Board of the method to be applied by the Advisor in allocating investment opportunities among the Company and
competing investment entities and shall provide regular updates to the Board of the investment opportunities provided by the Advisor
to competing programs in order for the Board (including the Independent Directors) to fulfill its duty to ensure that the Advisor
and its Affiliates use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.

 

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

 

     16. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall continue in force until October 14, 2013, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon
mutual consent of the parties.

 

    	12

    	 

    
 

 

     17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES.
This Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days written notice without Cause and without penalty by the Independent Directors of
the Company or the Advisor. The provisions of Sections 18 through 31 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

     18. 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.

 

     19. 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 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses
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.

 

     20. 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 directors (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any loss or liability suffered by such
Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company and the
Operating Partnership, unless all of the following conditions are met:

 

     (a) the Indemnitee has determined,
in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company and the Operating
Partnership;

 

     (b) the Indemnitee was acting
on behalf of, or performing services for, the Company or the Operating Partnership;

 

     (c) such liability or loss was
not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

 

    	13

    	 

    
 

 

     (d) such indemnification or agreement
to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Stockholders.

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing,
an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising
from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following
conditions are met:

 

     (a) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;

 

     (b) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or

 

     (c) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims against the 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company
or the Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

 

     In addition, the advancement of
the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenses and other costs incurred as
a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are
satisfied:

 

     (a) the legal action 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 action is initiated
by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in such Stockholder’s
capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

 

     (c) the Indemnitee undertakes
to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon,
in cases in which such Indemnitee is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

     21. 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, intentional misconduct, 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.

 

     22. 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 (a) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or
other service of the Advisor or its Affiliates; or (b) hire any person within the one year period following the termination of
such person’s employment with 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.
