For the purposes of the payment of any fees in Shares or OP Units, (i) if during an Offering, (a) prior to the NAV Pricing Start Date, each Share or OP Unit shall be valued at the per-share offering price of the Shares in the applicable Offering minus the maximum Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fee payable in the applicable Offering, and (b) after the NAV Pricing Start Date, each Share or OP Unit shall be valued at the then-current NAV per Share; and (ii) at all other times, each Share or OP Unit shall be equal in value to (A) at the estimated value of the Shares, calculated in accordance with the provisions of NASD Rule 2340(c)(1) (or any successor or similar FINRA rule), or (B) if no such rule shall then exist, at the fair market value thereof; provided, however, that in the case of Asset Management Fees payable in grants of restricted Shares, each Share shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of the equity incentive plan of the Company pursuant to which such grants are to be made.

The Asset Management Fee shall be an amount equal to:

 

(i)          Prior to the NAV Pricing Start Date, the excess of (A) the product of (y) the Cost of Assets multiplied by (z) 0.0625% over (B) any amounts payable as an Oversight Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) for the applicable month; provided, that the sum of (I) the amounts determined under clause (i) for a calendar year plus (II) the amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such calendar year, shall not be less than 0.75% of the Cost of Assets for such calendar year; provided further, that each monthly issuance of Class B Units shall be subject to the approval of the General Partner’s board of directors.
