13. BUSINESS COMBINATION.

(a)Business Combination with Advisor. The Company shall consider becoming a self-administered REIT once the Company’s assets and income are, in the view of the Board, of sufficient size such that internalizing the management functions performed by the Advisor is in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders. If the Board should make this determination in the future, the Company shall pay one-half, and the Advisor shall pay the other one-half, of the cost of an independent investment banking firm, which shall jointly advise the Company and the Advisor on the value of the Advisor. After the investment banking firm completes its analyses, the Company shall require it to prepare a written report and make a formal presentation to the Board. Following the presentation by the investment banking firm, the Board shall form a special committee (the Special Committee ”) comprised entirely of Independent Directors to consider a possible business combination with the Advisor. The Board shall, subject to applicable law, delegate all of its decision-making power and authority to the Special Committee with respect to matters relating to a possible business combination with the Advisor. The Special Committee also shall be authorized to retain its own financial advisors and legal counsel to, among other things, negotiate with representatives of the Advisor regarding a possible business combination with the Advisor.

(b)Conditions to Completion of Business Combination with Advisor. Before the Company may complete any business combination with the Advisor in accordance with this Section 13, the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) the Special Committee formed in accordance with Section 13(a) hereof receives an opinion from a qualified investment banking firm, separate and distinct from the firm jointly retained by the Company and the Advisor to provide a valuation analysis in accordance with Section 13(a) hereof, concluding that the consideration to be paid to acquire the Advisor is fair to the Stockholders from a financial point of view;

(ii) the Board determines that such business combination is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders; and

(iii) such business combination is approved by the Stockholders entitled to vote thereon in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.

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.

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.
