“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

“Cause” means (i) any fraud, criminal conduct, willful misconduct or willful breach of fiduciary duty by the Advisor, (ii) any material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor not cured by the Advisor within fifteen (15) days of the Advisor’s receipt of notice of such breach from the Fund, or (iii) the bankruptcy of the Advisor.

“Core and Core-Plus Properties” generally reflect a continuum of risk and expected return as among “core”, “core-plus”, “value-added” and “opportunistic” investments. A “core” property generally is the least risky, with the lowest expected returns, e.g., a fully leased building with a stable, predictable income stream that represents a significant percentage of total return over the expected holding period. “Core-plus” differs from “core” in that the properties, although substantially leased with current income, may exhibit more lease turnover risk and/or require some type of modest enhancement or value-added element to turn them into “core” properties with stabilized income streams. In contrast, “value-added” properties require a significant improvement, such as re-leasing, re-positioning, or re-development before they can be stabilized and then sold, and as a result, appreciation is a much greater component of total return than current income and “opportunistic” investing is high risk, and encompasses attributes such as non-traditional property types, ground-up development, substantial vacancies and high leverage, with little to no current income return.

With respect to the acquisition or origination of a loan to be wholly owned by the Fund, the Origination Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal 1.5% of the amount funded by the Fund to acquire or originate the loan, including any Acquisition Expenses related to such investment and any debt used to fund the acquisition or origination of the loan. The Fund will not pay a Origination Fee to the Advisor with respect to any transaction pursuant to which the Fund is required to pay the Advisor an Acquisition Fee. The total of all Origination Fees and related Acquisition Expenses incurred by the Advisor and reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Section 10(a)(ii) hereof shall not exceed an amount equal to 6.0% of the funds advanced with respect to the loan. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Fund following the closing of a loan, accompanied by a computation of the Origination Fee. The Origination Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Fund; provided, however, the Advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer (without interest) payment of any Origination Fee by providing written notice of such deferral to the Fund.

 

c. Asset Management Fee. On a monthly basis, the Fund shall pay the Advisor an “Asset Management Fee” in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.6% of (1) the Purchase Price of a Real Property Investment acquired directly; (2) the Fund’s allocable cost of a property acquired in a joint venture or (3) with respect to Real Estate Related Investments, the funds advanced for such investment. The Fund’s allocable cost of a joint venture investment shall equal the product of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of properties by the joint venture, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of outstanding debt associated with such properties and the joint venture, and (ii) the Fund’s percentage economic interest in the joint venture. The Advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer (without interest) payment of the Asset Management Fee in any month by providing written notice of such deferral to the Fund.

 

 

 

d. Subordinated Disposition Fee.

 

i. If the Advisor or one of its Affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Investments, the Fund shall pay to the Advisor or such Affiliate a “Subordinated Disposition Fee” equal to the lesser of (A) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission, and (B) 3.0% of the proceeds of the Sale of such Investment. The Subordinated Disposition Fee will be payable only if the following condition (the “Subordination Condition”) has been satisfied as of the date of payment: the Stockholders must have received Dividends in an amount equal to their Remaining Capital plus their 8% Return. To the extent that Subordinated Disposition Fees are not payable by the Fund at the time of the Sale of an Investment because the Subordination Condition has not been satisfied, any unpaid fees will be paid at such time as the Subordination Condition has been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates in connection with any Sale of an Investment; provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all Persons by the Fund shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (X) 6.0% of the proceeds of the Sale of such Investment, and (Y) the Competitive Real Estate Commission with respect to the Sale of such Investment.

 

ii. The Advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer (without interest) payment of any Subordinated Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor by providing written notice of such deferral to the Fund.

 

e. Subordinated Distribution.

 

i. After Stockholders have received Dividends in an amount equal to the Invested Capital plus an 8% Return, the Advisor is entitled to receive a cash distribution equal to 10.0% of the remaining net sales proceeds from the Sale of Investments. The Advisor shall not be entitled to such distributions if a Listing occurs or upon the termination of this Agreement.

 

ii. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Advisor shall not be entitled to Subordinated Disposition Fees. If a Listing has not occurred as of the date of the termination of this Agreement and the Advisor was not terminated for Cause, the Advisor shall receive a distribution, in the form of (A) Shares, (B) a promissory note with market terms, payable solely from the proceeds of Sales of Investments, due and payable no later than three years from the date of issuance of such promissory note, or (C) any combination thereof, equal to 10.0% of the amount by which (A) the appraised value of the Company’s assets on the date of termination of this Agreement, less any indebtedness secured by such assets, plus total Dividends made through the date of the termination of this Agreement, exceeds (B) the Remaining Capital and an amount that, if distributed to the Stockholders as of the termination of this Agreement, would have provided them an annual 8% Return. In the event that a promissory note is issued hereunder and such promissory note has not been paid in full out of the proceeds of the Company’s Sales of Investments following the three-year term of the promissory note, the outstanding balance of such promissory note may, at the Advisor’s election, be converted into Shares, with the number of Shares to be determined based on the fair market value of the Shares upon issuance as determined by the Board including a majority of Independent Directors. In the event the Advisor receives Shares and the Company’s Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, at the election of the Advisor, the Advisor and the Company shall enter into an agreement whereby the Company shall register the resale of such Shares with the SEC.

 

 

 

iii. On the Listing Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to Subordinated Disposition Fees. If the Advisor has not been terminated under this Agreement as of the Listing Date, the Advisor shall receive a distribution, in the form of (A) Shares, (B) a promissory note with market terms, payable solely from the proceeds of Sales of Investments, due and payable no later than three years from the date of issuance of such promissory note, or (C) any combination thereof, equal to 10.0% of the amount by which (A) the market value of the Company’s outstanding Shares plus Dividends made prior to Listing, exceeds (B) the Remaining Capital and an amount that, if distributed to the Stockholders as of the Listing Date, would have provided them an annual 8% Return. In the event a promissory note is issued hereunder and such promissory note has not been paid in full out of the proceeds of the Company’s Sales of Investments following the three-year term of the promissory note, the outstanding balance of such promissory note may, at the Advisor’s election, be converted into Shares, with the number of Shares to be determined based on the fair market value of the Shares upon issuance as determined by the Board including a majority of Independent Directors. In the event the Advisor receives Shares and the Company’s Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, at the election of the Advisor, the Advisor and the Company shall enter into an agreement whereby the Company shall register the resale of such Shares with the SEC.

 

10. Expenses.

 

a. Subject to Section 11 hereof, in addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Fund shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor and its Affiliates for all of the costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or such Affiliates that are in any way related to the operation of the Fund or to the Fund’s business, including, but not limited to:

 

i. the Organization and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursement received by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent that such reimbursement of expenses associated with the Offering exceeds 3.0% of the Gross Proceeds from the Primary Offering. The Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of all such Organization and Offering Expenses in excess of 3.0% of the Gross Proceeds;

 

ii. subject to Sections 9(a) and 9(b), all Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition of an Investment;

 

 

 

iii. the actual cost of goods and services used by the Fund and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor, other than Acquisition Expenses, including, but not limited to, fees of appraisers, consulting fees, accounting fees, legal fees, brokerage fees and underwriting fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, fees paid to escrow agents, transfer agents, corporate fiduciaries and custodians, collection agent fees, depositary fees, loan fees, mortgagor fees and other banking fees, insurance premiums and fees to builders, developers, contractors, property managers and leasing agents;

 

iv. interest and other costs for the Fund’s indebtedness, including discounts, loan fees (excluding Origination Fees), points and other similar fees;

 

v. taxes and assessments on income or property of the Fund and taxes as an expense of doing business;

 

vi. costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Fund (including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance);

 

vii. expenses of managing and operating Investments owned by the Fund, whether or not payable to an Affiliate of the Fund or the Advisor, including the costs of maintaining, repairing and improving any property;

 

viii. expenses associated with the disposition of Investments, including, subject to Section 9(d), real estate commissions;

 

ix. all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors and meetings of the Board and the Stockholders;

xi. expenses connected with payments of Dividends in cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Company to the Stockholders;

 

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, accounting, finance, internal audit or investor relations expenses (including personnel costs for the provision of all services under this Agreement; 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 a separate fee);

 

xiv. audit, accounting and legal fees relating to the operations of the Fund; and

 

 

 

xv. all other costs and expenses in any way relating to the operation of the Fund or the Fund’s business (other than any fees payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates by the Fund).

 

b. Subject to Section 11 hereof, expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Fund and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed to the Advisor or such Affiliates no less than quarterly by the Fund within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Fund during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Fund within 45 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer (without interest) any reimbursement of expenses payable pursuant to this Section 10 for any quarter by providing written notice of such deferral to the Fund.

 

11. Operating Expenses. The Fund shall not reimburse the Advisor for Operating Expenses that in the fiscal year then ended exceed the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Rule”) for such year. Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, the Advisor will reimburse the Fund for any amounts by which the Operating Expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Rule for the 12 months then ended, unless a majority of the Independent Directors determine, based on such unusual and non-recurring factors which they deem sufficient, that such excess was justified. Any such determination by the Independent Directors and the reasons supporting such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Fund for which Operating Expenses (for the 12 months just ended) exceed the 2%/25% Rule, the Advisor shall send a written disclosure of such fact to the Stockholders, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that such higher Operating Expenses were justified, if applicable.

 

12. Other Services. Should the Fund request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Fund other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are approved by the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

13. Other Activities of the Advisor. Subject to Section 4 hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Advisor and its Affiliates from engaging in any and all other activities, including, without limitation, making real estate investments or sponsoring, managing, providing advice with respect to or offering real estate investment opportunities to other Persons (including, without limitation, any other Affiliate). The Advisor, however, shall devote sufficient resources to the management of the Fund to discharge its duties under Section 3 hereof. This Agreement shall not limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, manager, member or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person, including, without limitation, but subject to Section 4 hereof, sourcing, offering, approving or making Investments.

 

14. Relationship of the Advisor and the Fund. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Fund and the Advisor partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

 

 

 

15. Term; Termination of Agreement.

 

a. Unless terminated in accordance with Section 15(b) hereof, this Agreement shall continue in force until the first anniversary of the date hereof. Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon the mutual agreement of the parties. Prior to the Company agreeing to renew this Agreement for any additional one-year term, the Board shall evaluate the performance of the Advisor in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Articles. Each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. The failure of the parties to renew this agreement prior to the expiration of its term shall constitute a termination of this Agreement.

 

b. This Agreement will automatically terminate upon Listing. This agreement also may be terminated:

 

i. for any reason by the Company or the Advisor, upon 60 days written
notice to the other party; provided that, if termination is by the Company, then such termination must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors;

 

ii. by the Company or the Operating Partnership at any time for Cause; or

 

iii. by the Advisor at any time for Good Reason.

 

c. Upon termination, the Fund shall promptly pay to the Advisor any fees then due and payable and any reimbursable expenses incurred as of the Termination Date.

d. The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

 

i. pay over to the Fund all money collected and held for the account of the Fund 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 the Advisor, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

B. The Indemnitee was acting on behalf of the Company or performing services for the Company;

2. In the case that the Indemnitee is an Independent Director, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

 

D. any indemnification or agreement to hold harmless may be paid only out of the Net Assets of the Company and no portion may be recoverable from the Stockholders;

 

ii. notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 16.b.i, the Company will not indemnify any Indemnitee for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless:

 

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

 

B. such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnitee; or

 

C. a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, and the court considering the matter has been advised of the position of the SEC and the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the company were offered or sold as to indemnification for securities law violations.

 

 

 

b. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of final disposition of any and all Claims only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the Claim relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, (b) either (i) the Claim was initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder, or (ii) if the Claim was initiated by a Stockholder, the initiating Stockholder was acting in his or her capacity as such and the advancement was approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (c) the Indemnitee provides the Company with a written undertaking to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of conduct and is not entitled to indemnification.

 

17. 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 are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties, but 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.

 

18. Voting of Shares and Partnership Units. The Advisor shall not vote any Shares
or Partnership Units (as defined in the OP Partnership Agreement) it now owns, or hereafter acquires, in any vote of the Stockholders for the election of Directors or in any vote of the Stockholders or the Limited Partners (as defined in the OP Partnership Agreement) regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, including this Agreement.
