 B WARRANT CERTIFICATE 

 

 

 THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [_______________] (“B Warrantholder”) is the registered holder of [_______] B  Warrants (the “B Warrant” or “B Warrants”) to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Share” or “Shares”), of GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). 

 

 1.              Terms and Exercise of B Warrants. 

 

 (a)            B Warrant Exercise Price.  Two B Warrants shall entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such B Warrant to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at the price of [_____] per share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 2 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 1(a).  The term “B Warrant Exercise Price” as used in this Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time two B Warrants are exercised.  The Company, in its sole discretion, may by notice to registered holders lower the B Warrant Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a specified period of not less than 20 business days. 

 

 (b)            Duration of B Warrants.  The B Warrants may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the date of issuance and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date” shall mean [__________], 2014.  Each B Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.  The Company may extend the duration of the B Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company shall provide notice to registered holders of the B Warrants of such extension of not less than 20 days.

 (c)            Exercise of B Warrants. 

 

 (i)             Payment.  Subject to the provisions of the B Warrants, the B Warrants may be exercised by the registered holder thereof by surrendering them at the Company with the subscription form as set forth herein duly executed and, except where otherwise permitted in accordance with Section 1(c)(ii), by paying in full in lawful money of the United States by certified check made payable to the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), the B Warrant Exercise Price for each share of Common Stock as to which the B Warrants are exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the B Warrants and the issuance of the Common Stock.   

 (ii)            Cashless Exercise.  If, and only if, at the time of exercise of the B Warrants there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Common Stock to the B Warrantholder, then, and only then, the B Warrants may at the option of the B Warrantholder be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the B Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where: 

 

 (A) = the VWAP (defined below) on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Warrantholder elects to exercise the B Warrants by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable subscription form; 

 

 (B) = the B Warrant Price of the B Warrants, as adjusted hereunder; and 

 

 (X) = the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants being exercised  in accordance with the terms hereof if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. 

 

 “VWAP” means, for any date, the price per share of Common Stock determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:  (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board (each, a “Trading Market”), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading or quoted for trading on a Trading Market and if prices for the  Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 (iii) Issuance of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of any B Warrants and the clearance of the funds in payment of the B Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such B Warrants a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and, if such B Warrants shall not have been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned B Warrant Certificate for the number of shares as to which such B Warrants shall not have been exercised or surrendered.  Subject to Section 5(d) and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of B Warrants unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants is available for delivery to the B Warrant holders, or (b) the exercise of the B Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction in which the registered holder resides. B Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the B Warrants is not effective or a prospectus is not available, or because such exercise would be unlawful with respect to a registered holder in any state, the registered holder shall not be entitled to exercise such B Warrants and such B Warrants may have no value and expire worthless.  In no event will the Company be obligated to pay such registered holder any cash consideration upon exercise (except pursuant to Section 2(e)). The Company’s counsel shall deliver any legal opinions required by the transfer agent in connection with the exercise of the B Warrants at no cost to the B Warrantholder. 

          

 (iv)           Valid Issuance.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of the B Warrants in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

 

 (v)            Date of Issuance.  Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the B Warrants were surrendered and payment of the B Warrant Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 Adjustments. 

 

 (a)            Stock Dividends; Stock Splits.  If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, stock split or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the B Warrants shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

 

  

 -3- 

  

 

 (b)            Aggregation of Shares.  If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the B Warrants shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

 

 (c)            Adjustments in B Warrant Exercise Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the B Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 2(a) and 2(b), the B Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such B Warrant Exercise Price, immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the B Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. 

 

 (d)            Extraordinary Dividends.  If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, shall pay a dividend in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the B Warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described in Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(e), or (ii) regular quarterly or other periodic dividends (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the B Warrant Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend in order that subsequent thereto upon exercise of the B Warrants the B Warrantholder may obtain the equivalent benefit of such Extraordinary Dividend. 

 

 (e)            Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, Etc.  In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 2(a) or 2(b) hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the B Warrants shall thereafter represent the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the B Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the B Warrants holder would have received if such B Warrants holder had exercised his, her or its B Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 2(a) or 2(b), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and this Section 2(e). The provisions of this Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 (f)            Notices of Changes in B Warrants.  Upon every adjustment of the B Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants, the Company shall give written notice thereof to each registered holder, which notice shall state the B Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of the B Warrants, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(d) or 2(e) the Company shall give written notice to each B Warrants holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the B Warrants register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event. 

 

 (g)           Form of B Warrant.  The form of B Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, and B Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same B Warrant Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the B Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of B Warrants that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the rights of holders thereof, and any B Warrants thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for outstanding B Warrants or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. 

 

 (h)           Notice of Certain Transactions.  In the event that the Company shall propose to (i) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (ii) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or (iii) make a tender offer, redemption offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall send to the B Warrant holders a notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the registered holders at their addresses as they appear in the B Warrants register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants and the B Warrant Exercise Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2 which would be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Company has determined to take any such action and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, at least 10 days prior to the record date for determining the holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action, at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier. 

 

 (i)            Other Events.  If any event occurs as to which the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the registered holders of the B Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Company, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.

 3.              Transfer and Exchange of B Warrants. 

 

 (a)            Registration of Transfer.  The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding B Warrants into the B Warrant register, upon surrender of such B Warrants for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, new B Warrants representing an equal aggregate number of B Warrants shall be issued and the old B Warrants shall be cancelled by the Company. 

 

 (b)            Procedure for Surrender of B Warrants.  B Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and, thereupon, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new B Warrants as requested by the registered holder of the B Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of B Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event the B Warrants surrendered for transfer bear a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such B Warrants and issue new B Warrants in exchange therefor until the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new B Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend. 

 

 (c)            Service Charges.  No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of B Warrants. 

 

 4.              Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of B Warrants. 

 

 (a)            No Rights as Stockholder.  The B Warrants do not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, or to vote, consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter. 

 (b)            Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed B Warrant Certificates.  If any B Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated B Warrant Certificate, include the surrender thereof), issue a new B Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the B Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new B Warrant Certificate shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed B Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. 

 

 (c)            Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding B Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

 (d)            Registration of Common Stock.  The Company agrees that prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period, it shall use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, or a new registration statement, for the registration under the Act of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants, and it shall take such action as is necessary to qualify for sale, in those states in which the B Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants. In either case, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective on or prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and ensure that a prospectus is available for delivery to the B Warrant holders until the expiration of the B Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 1(c)(ii) of this B Warrant Certificate, the B Warrants shall not be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Common Stock unless, at the time a holder seeks to exercise B Warrants, a prospectus related to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the B Warrants is current and the Common Stock has been registered or qualified under the laws of the state of residence of the holder of the B Warrants or unless the issuance of the Common Stock is deemed to be exempt from such requirements.  In addition, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register such securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of exercising B Warrant holders, if permitted by the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, in the event that an exemption is not available.

 (e)            Notices.  Any notice, statement or demand authorized by this Certificate to be given or made by the Company or by the holder of the B Warrants to or on the Company shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail or overnight courier service, addressed (until another address is provided in writing by the Company) as follows:

 (f)            Applicable Law.  The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Certificate and of the B Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Certificate and to the B Warrants shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of Nevada or the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive.

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 send to the stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, 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 of Directors.  All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(iii)The Advisor shall provide the following Persons (whether or not employees of the Advisor), and expend monies for the following supplies, and shall perform the following services, all of which shall be covered by the fees described in Paragraph 8 above and not be reimbursed by the Company:

(A)    overhead or general expenses of the Advisor (including, without limitation, office supplies and rent for its corporate office);
(B)    audit, accounting and legal fees for audit, accounting and legal services provided to the Advisor; and
(C)    cost of the fidelity bond, comprehensive crime insurance or employee dishonesty coverage purchased by the Advisor as provided in Paragraph 10 below.
10.Fidelity Bond.  The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond, comprehensive crime insurance or employee dishonesty coverage for the benefit of the Company which bond or coverage shall insure the 

Company from losses of up to $10,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to the Company by the Advisor.

11.Other Activities of the Advisor.  

(a)General.  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 director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. 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 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.  

(b)Policy with Respect to Allocation of Investment Opportunities.  Before  the Advisor presents an investment opportunity that would in its judgment be suitable for the Company to another Advisor-sponsored program, the Advisor shall determine in its discretion that the investment opportunity is more suitable for such other program than for the Company based on factors such as the following: the investment objectives and criteria of each program; the cash requirements and anticipated cash flow of each program; the size of the investment opportunity; the effect of the acquisition on diversification of each program's investments by type of commercial property, geographic area and tenant base; the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity; the policies of each program relating to leverage; the funds of each entity available for investment and the length of time such funds have been available for investment; the size of the investment; the credit quality of the tenants; and the existence of special factors, such as whether the property is adjacent to another property owned by a program.  In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is, in the discretion of the Advisor, equally suitable for both the Company and another Advisor-sponsored program, then the Advisor may offer the other program the investment opportunity if it has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity.  The Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to fairly allocate investment opportunities in accordance with such allocation method and will promptly disclose any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new policy, which shall be allowed provided (1) the Board is provided with notice of such policy at least 60 days prior to such policy becoming effective and (2) such policy provides for the reasonable allocation of investment opportunities among such programs.  The Advisor shall provide the Conflicts Committee with any information reasonably requested so that the Conflicts Committee can insure that the allocation of investment opportunities is applied fairly.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Advisor or an Affiliate from pursuing an investment opportunity directly rather than offering it to the Company or another Advisor-sponsored program so long as the Advisor is fulfilling its obligation to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company.

12.Relationship of Advisor and Company.  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 or impose any liability as such on either of them.

13.Representations and Warranties.  

(a)Of the Company.  To induce the Advisor to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants that:

(b)Of the Advisor.  To induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Advisor represents and warrants that:

(iii)The Advisor has received copies of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the Registration Statement and of the Partnership's limited partnership agreement and is familiar with the terms thereof, including without limitation the investment limitations included therein.  Advisor 

warrants that it will use reasonable care to avoid any act or omission that would conflict with the terms of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, the Registration Statement, or the Partnership's limited partnership agreement in the absence of the express direction of the Conflicts Committee.

14.Term; Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue in force until June 10, 2014, subject to an unlimited number of successive renewals of no more than one year upon mutual consent of the parties. The Company, acting through the Board, will evaluate the performance of the Advisor at least annually.

15.Termination by Either Party.  This Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty, by either party (by majority of the Conflicts Committee or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Advisor, as the case may be).  The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 6, 7, 12, and 17 through 33 survive termination of this Agreement.

16.Assignment to an Affiliate.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate of the Advisor with the approval of a majority of the Conflicts Committee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the assignee assumes all duties and obligations of the Advisor hereunder arising or accruing after such assignment pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Conflicts Committee.  No such assignment or assumption shall relieve the assignor of its obligations and liability hereunder arising or accruing prior to the effective date of such assignment and assumption.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.

17.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 within 30 days after the effective date of such termination the following:

(i)all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement; and

(ii)the Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination; provided that no Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination will be paid if this Agreement is terminated by the Company as a result of an Event of Default by the Advisor as provided in Paragraph 21 or if the Advisor voluntarily terminates this Agreement under Paragraph 15 hereof or if the Company has paid or is obligated to pay the Subordinated Incentive Fee.

(b)The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

(i)pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company 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 Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and

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

18.Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees (collectively, “Indemnitees”), 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, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland or the Articles of Incorporation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Paragraph 18 for any activity for which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Paragraph 19. Any indemnification of the Indemnitees may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.

19.Indemnification by Advisor.  The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company 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 which arise out of or are incurred by reason of (a) any act by the Advisor which is outside the scope of Advisor's authority under this Agreement and which has not otherwise been requested of the Advisor by the Board of Directors or the Conflicts Committee, (b) the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance or misconduct of the Advisor or its employees, officers or agents, or (c) Advisor's breach of the duties and obligations required by this Agreement to be performed by Advisor.

20.Advisor's Insurance.  During the term of this Agreement, Advisor, as a reimbursable cost under this Agreement with regard to subsection (b) below, shall maintain in full force and effect the following kinds of insurance and levels of coverage:

(a)Commercial general liability (naming the Company as an additional insured), which is similar in scope of coverage to that maintained by other like advisory firms with insurance limits of liability of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), combined single limits covering both bodily injury (including death) and property damage, and including contractual liability coverage. Such insurance will be excess and will not contribute with defense or other coverage afforded under any policy of insurance carried by the Company. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company, Advisor will require all independent contractors it employs hereunder to maintain liability insurance in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), combined single limit, covering both bodily injury (including death) and property damage.

(b)Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance in the amount not less than required by applicable laws, covering all employees of Advisor who are engaged in any work under this Agreement.

(c)Commercial automobile liability insurance covering both owned and non-owned vehicles, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage, when the services to be performed require the use of a motor vehicle.

An umbrella or excess liability policy can be used to meet the above-referenced limits.  
21.Advisor Default.  Upon the happening of any Event of Default, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Advisor, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity (subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement). Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Advisor under this Agreement:

(a)If the Advisor shall fail to satisfy any monetary obligation such as, for example, the payment of any sums payable under any indemnity obligations hereunder, within thirty (30) days after delivery of notice to the Advisor of such failure;

(b)If the Advisor shall fail to observe, perform or comply in any material respect with any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement which is to be observed, performed or complied with by the Advisor under the provisions of this Agreement, and such failure shall continue uncured for thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice thereof by the Company to the Advisor specifying the nature of such failure, unless such failure can be cured but is not susceptible of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event such a failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if the Advisor commences curative action within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter prosecutes such action to completion with all due diligence and dispatch and completes such cure within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such notice;

(c)If the Advisor shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(d)If any of the following occur: (i) filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy on behalf of the Advisor; (ii) consenting to the filing of any involuntary petition in bankruptcy against the Advisor; (iii) filing any petition seeking, or consenting to, the reorganization or relief of the Advisor under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency; (iv) consenting to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Advisor or a substantial part of its property; or (v) admitting in writing the Advisor's inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;

(e)If the Advisor shall fail to carry and maintain the insurance required to be maintained by the Advisor pursuant to this Agreement and such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) business days after the giving of written notice thereof by the Company to the Advisor;

(f)If the Advisor shall transfer or assign its interest under this Agreement in violation of this Agreement; or

(g)If the Advisor shall commit fraud in connection with its services under this Agreement or shall misappropriate any funds of the Company in the possession or control of the Advisor or shall otherwise commit an act of fraud against the Company (except that if such fraud or misappropriation of funds is committed by an employee of the Advisor, such event may be cured by the Advisor if the Advisor makes full and prompt restitution to the Company and discharges such employee).

22.Default of Company.  If the Company fails to comply with or perform in any material respect any of the terms and provisions to be complied with or any of the obligations to be performed by the Company under this Agreement, and such failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the Company specifying the nature of such default (or such longer period of time as may be needed in the exercise by the Company of due diligence to effect a cure of any such non-monetary default), then the Advisor 

shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Advisor at law or in equity, at its option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Company.

23.Parent Guarantee.  Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., a Georgia corporation and the parent company of the Advisor (the “Guarantor”), does hereby in all respects guarantee the due and proper performance of the services to be provided and the full and timely payment of the amounts payable under this Agreement by the Advisor, which guarantee shall extend to include any renewal or amendment to this Agreement, provided Guarantor's obligations are not materially increased by such renewal or amendment without the Guarantor's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  If the Advisor fails to perform all or any of its obligations, duties, undertakings, and covenants to provide services (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) under this Agreement (unless relieved from the performance of any part of this Agreement by statute, by the decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by written waiver of the Company), upon written notice from the Company, the Guarantor shall perform or cause to be performed such Guaranteed Obligations.  The termination of the Advisor shall constitute a termination of this guarantee with respect to the future performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, but no termination of Advisor shall terminate or limit the obligations of the Guarantor under this guarantee arising or accruing prior to such termination of the Advisor.  This guarantee will be applicable to and binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor.  Guarantor joins in this Agreement as a signatory hereto for the purposes set forth in this Paragraph 23.

24.Notices.  Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:
