NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and constitute a part of this Amendment.
2. Restatement of Asset Management Fee. Section (9)(a) of the Advisory Agreement is hereby deleted and amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(9)(a) Asset Management Fee. The Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay to the Advisor as compensation for the advisory services rendered to the Company and the Operating Partnership a monthly fee of an amount equal to 0.06667% of the monthly average of the sum of the Companys and the Operating Partnerships respective daily Real Estate Asset Value (without duplication), plus the outstanding principal amount of any Loans made, plus the amount invested in Permitted Investments (the Asset Management Fee). The Asset Management Fee shall be payable monthly on the first business day following the last day of such month. The Asset Management Fee shall not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in the same geographic area, and may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
3. Restatement of Disposition Fee. Section (9)(d) of the Advisory Agreement is hereby deleted and amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
If the Advisor, its Affiliates or related parties provide a substantial amount of services (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with either a Liquidity Event, or a Sale or transfer of one or more Assets of the Company, the Advisor, Affiliate or related party shall receive a Disposition Fee in an amount equal to (a) 0.80% of the gross market capitalization of the Company upon the occurrence of a Listing, or 0.80% of the gross consideration paid to the Company or its Stockholders upon the occurrence of any other Liquidity Event (including the Sale or transfer of the Company or a portion thereof), or (b) 0.80% of the gross sales price upon the Sale or transfer of one or more Assets (including the Sale of all of the Companys Assets). When a real estate or brokerage commission is payable in connection with a particular transaction, the total Disposition Fee paid by the Company, as applicable, when added to the sum of all real estate and brokerage fees and commissions paid to unaffiliated parties, shall not exceed the lesser of (i) a Competitive Real Estate Commission, or (ii) 6% of the gross sales price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event or the Sale of all of the Companys Assets, in no event shall the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor exceed 0.80% of the gross market capitalization of the Company or the gross sales price, respectively. Any such Disposition Fee deemed to be earned by the Advisor, Affiliate or related party shall be paid by the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Advisor, Affiliate or related party upon the closing of the transaction. In the event of a Sale of all of the Companys Assets or the Sale or transfer of the Company or a portion thereof, the Company shall have the option to pay the Disposition Fee in cash, Listed equity Securities received by Stockholders in connection with the Sale of all of the Companys Assets or the Sale or transfer of the Company, if applicable, or non-Listed equity Securities received by Stockholders in connection with the Sale of all of the Companys Assets or the Sale or transfer of the Company, if applicable. For the purposes of this Section 9(d), (i) the Advisor, its Affiliates or related parties shall be deemed to have provided a substantial amount of services and entitled to receive a Disposition Fee in connection with a Sale or transfer of one or more Assets of the Company, a Listing or other Liquidity Event after the Effective Date, and (ii) 0.80% of the gross market capitalization upon a Listing or gross consideration paid upon a Liquidity Event or sales price upon a Sale or transfer of Assets shall be deemed to be a Competitive Real Estate Commission for the sole purpose of a Disposition Fee, unless the Independent Directors, acting in good faith, determine otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Disposition Fee shall be paid to the Advisor in connection with the Sale by the Company or the Operating Partnership of Real Estate Related Securities that are Securities, Permitted Investments that are Securities or Loans that are Securities, but only to the extent that the foregoing are held as investments by the Company; provided, however, a Disposition Fee in the form of a usual and customary brokerage fee may be paid by the Company or the Operating Partnership to an Affiliate or related party of the Advisor in connection with the disposition of Securities if, at the time of such payment, such Affiliate or related party is a properly registered and licensed broker dealer (or equivalent) in the jurisdiction in which the Securities are being sold and has provided substantial services in connection with the disposition of the Securities. Any such Disposition Fee deemed to be earned by such Affiliate or related party shall be paid by the Company or the Operating Partnership to such Affiliate or related party upon the closing of the Sale of the Securities. Any such Disposition Fee paid to an Affiliate or related party of the Advisor in connection with the Sale of Securities shall be included in Total Operating Expenses for purposes of calculating conformance with the 2%/25% Guidelines.
4. Binding Effect. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
5. Modification/Amendment. This Amendment may only be amended and modified in a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.
6. Execution of Amendment.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement with the same effect as if the parties hereto had signed the same signature page.
7. Ratification. The terms and provisions in the Advisory Agreement are deemed amended if and to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Amendment. Otherwise, the terms and the provisions in the Advisory Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.
