The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (i) eliminates the acquisition fees payable to the Advisor and NorthStar/RXR’s sub-advisor or their affiliates (together, the “Advisor Entities”) pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Advisory Agreement, (ii) reduces the monthly asset management fee payable to the Advisor Entities pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Advisory Agreement from one-twelfth of 1.25% to one-twelfth of 1.0% and (iii) eliminates the disposition fees payable to the Advisor Entities pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Advisory Agreement.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete summary of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
