Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action that, in its reasonable judgment or in any judgment of the Board of Directors of which the Advisor has prior written notice, would adversely affect the qualification of the Company as a REIT under the Code, subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act or that would violate in any material respect any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Equity Stock or its Investments, or that would otherwise not be permitted by the Charter. If any such action is ordered by the Board of Directors, the Advisor shall promptly notify the Board of Directors that, in the Advisor’s judgment, the action would adversely affect the Company’s, or the Operating Partnership’s, status as a REIT, exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act or violate any law, rule or regulation or the Charter, and that the Advisor shall refrain from taking such action pending further clarification or instruction from the Board of Directors.

8112732.1

6. Bank Accounts. At the direction of the Board of Directors or the officers of the Company, the Advisor shall establish and maintain bank accounts in the name of the Company, and shall collect and deposit into and disburse from such accounts moneys on behalf of the Company, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may approve, provided that no funds in any such account shall be commingled with funds of the Advisor. The Advisor shall, from time to time, as the Board of Directors or the officers of the Company may require, render appropriate accountings of such collections, deposits and disbursements to the Board of Directors and to the Company’s auditors.

7. Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall not be required to obtain or maintain a fidelity bond in connection with performing its services hereunder.

8. Compensation. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 11 hereof, and in addition to any compensation for additional services that may be paid pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall compensate the Advisor or its designees (including the Sub-Advisor) for services rendered hereunder, as follows:

(a)Advisory Fee. The Advisory Fee will be comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed component payable monthly (the “Fixed Component”); and (2) a performance component payable annually (the “Performance Component”), each calculated as follows.

(i)The Fixed Component shall be equal to 1/12th of 1.25% of the average NAV for each month, paid monthly in arrears.

(ii)The Performance Component shall be calculated on the basis of the Annual Total Return of each class of Shares in any calendar year, such that for any year in which the Annual Total Return Percentage per share for such class exceeds 7.0% per annum (the “Priority Return Percentage”), the Performance Component will equal 20% of the difference between the Annual Total Return Percentage and the Priority Return Percentage allocable to such class, multiplied by NAV at the beginning of the applicable period for such class, multiplied by the outstanding number of Shares of such class at the end of the applicable period; provided that in no event will the Performance Component exceed 15% of the Annual Total Return allocable to such class for such year. In the event the NAV per share decreases below $25.00 for any class of Shares during the measurement period, any subsequent increase in such NAV per share to $25.00 (or such other adjusted number) shall not be included in the calculation of the Performance Component with respect to that class, provided that the Board of Directors may decrease this threshold if (i) extraordinary events arise (such as a significant disruption in relevant markets, a terrorist attack or acts of nature) and (ii) the Board of Directors, including a majority of Independent Directors, has determined that such change is necessary to appropriately incent the Advisor to perform in a manner that maximizes stockholder value and is in the best interests of the Stockholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NAV thresholds for each class of Shares are also subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors to account for any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar change in the Company’s capital structure or any Distributions that the Board of Directors has deemed to be a return of capital to the applicable class of Stockholders. If the Performance Component is payable with respect to any class of Shares pursuant to this Section 8(a), the Advisor will be entitled to such payment even in the event that the Annual Total Return Percentage to the Stockholders of such class (or any particular Stockholder) over any longer or shorter period has been less than the Priority Return Percentage. The performance of the Company in any future period shall not in any way impact the amount of any Advisory Fee payable to the Advisor for prior periods, and the Advisor shall have no obligation to return any portion of any Advisory Fee paid to it or any other Person as a result of the Company’s performance in

8112732.1

any such future period. The Performance Component may be earned in a given period for one or more of the Company’s classes of common stock.

For these purposes only, the NAV of each class of Shares shall be (i) the NAV per Share of such class; (ii) the actual value accorded to each class of Shares in connection with any merger or sale of the Company or its assets; or (iii) if any class of Shares is listed on a national securities exchange, the volume weighted average closing price of such Shares for the last thirty (30) trading days of the current year, or such shorter period as such Shares have been “listed” during the current year.

The Performance Component is payable promptly after the audited financial statements for each calendar year become available, provided that, if this Agreement or its term expires without renewal prior to December 31 of any calendar year, then the Performance Component for such partial year shall be payable promptly after the Company files its unaudited financial statements on Form 10-Q for the quarter that includes the Termination Date. The Performance Component shall be payable for each calendar year in which this Agreement is in effect, even if the Agreement is in effect for less than a full calendar year.

(b)Loan Related Fees. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Advisor will receive all (i) loan origination fees (whether paid upfront or upon payoff of all or any portion of a loan) (“Loan Origination Fees”) and (ii) (A) application fees (“Application Fees”); and (B) future funding facility draw request fees (“Draw Request Fees”; and together with Application Fees, “Loan Administrative Fees”), in each instance, related to Real Estate Loans made by the Company or the Operating Partnership. Loan Origination Fees and Loan Administrative Fees will only be paid to the Advisor to the extent they are paid by a borrower and generally will be paid directly from such borrower to the Advisor or Sub-Advisor. To the extent any Loan Origination Fees and Loan Administrative Fees are paid to the Company, the Company shall remit such fees to, or as directed by, the Advisor.

(c)Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Advisory Fee will be calculated and due and payable after the calculation of NAV on the Termination Date. If such fees are payable with respect to any partial calendar quarter or calendar year, the Fixed Component will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during any partial calendar quarter and the Performance Component will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during, and Annual Total Return achieved for, the period of such partial calendar year.

(d)Liquidation. In the event the Company commences a liquidation of its Investments during any calendar year, the Company will pay the Fixed Component from the proceeds of the liquidation and the Performance Component will be calculated and paid at the end of the liquidation period prior to the distribution of the liquidation proceeds to the Stockholders.

(e)Form of Payment. The fees payable under this Section 8 shall be paid in cash; provided, however that the Advisor, in its sole discretion, may elect to be paid any of the fees set forth in this Section 8 in Class I Shares (in lieu of cash payment), in which case the number of Class I Shares shall be equal to the cash amount of such fee divided by the most recently determined NAV per Class I Share. Such Class I Shares will not be subject to either the one-year holding requirement or the repurchase limits of the Company’s share repurchase plan.

(f)Deferral of Advisory Fees.

(i)The Advisor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to defer any portion of Advisory Fees otherwise payable by the Company.

8112732.1

(ii)Any Advisory Fees otherwise payable that have not been paid pursuant to a deferral election made by the Advisor (collectively referred to as “Elected Deferred Amounts”) shall be paid without interest on any specified later date as the Advisor may determine.

(iii)Elected Deferred Amounts shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis upon their payment by the Company to the Advisor, and any such payment shall be applied to Elected Deferred Amounts in the order of oldest to newest.

9. Expenses.

(a)In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or their respective designees pursuant to Section 8 and Section 10 hereof, and subject to the provisions of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the limitations of Section 9(c) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective Affiliates for all of the expenses attributable to the Company or its subsidiaries including the Operating Partnership and paid or incurred by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or their respective Affiliates in providing certain services and licenses hereunder.

(ii)Organization and Offering Expenses; provided that within 60 days after the end of the month in which a Public Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent Organization and Offering Expenses borne by the Company attributable to such Public Offering exceed 15.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds raised in the completed Public Offering;

(iii)Expenses, including Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with evaluating, selecting, originating, structuring, financing, developing or acquiring an Investment or prospective investment or any expenses incurred in connection with any Sale or prospective Sale of an Investment or any contribution or prospective contribution of an Investment to a Joint Venture;

(d)With respect to expenses incurred by Affiliates of Inland or the Sub-Advisor related to services and licenses provided for the benefit of the Company, or payments made for these services and licenses, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, may arrange for payment to be made directly from the Company to the Affiliates of Inland or the Sub-Advisor.

8112732.1

10. Compensation for Additional Services, Certain Limitations. The Company and the Advisor will separately negotiate and agree on the fees for any additional services that the Company asks the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates to render in addition to those set forth in Section 2 hereof. Any additional fees or reimbursements to be paid by the Company in connection with the additional services must be fair and reasonable and shall be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

11. Timing of and Additional Limitations on Reimbursements.

(a)The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective Affiliates for the Company or its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, on a monthly basis. The Company shall reimburse the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective Affiliates for any expenses reimbursable in accordance with this Section 11 within twenty (20) days after receipt of such statements.

(b)The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses incurred by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, in the aggregate, for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of two percent (2%) of Average Invested Assets or twenty-five percent (25%) of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such Expense Year unless the Independent Directors determine that such Excess Amount was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such Excess Amount as being so justified, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the Total Operating Expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines. If the Independent Directors determine such Excess Amount was justified, then, within sixty (60) days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission within sixty (60) days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors.

12. Other Activities of the Advisor. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor from engaging in any other business or activity including, without limitation, rendering services or advising on or earning fees from real estate investment opportunities to any other Person or entity; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee or stockholder of the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person and earn fees for rendering such services; provided, however, that the Advisor must devote sufficient resources to the Company’s business to discharge its obligations to the Company under this Agreement.

13. Term; Termination of Agreement.

(a)Term; Renewal. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and end on December 31, 2021 and, thereafter, will continue in force for successive one-year periods with the mutual consent of the parties including an affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of this Agreement end until the date that is 60 days after the Board of Directors provides written notice to the Advisor of the Board of Directors’ determination not to renew this Agreement. The Board of Directors will evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing this Agreement, and each renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.

8112732.1

(b)Early Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated without cause or penalty, by the Company upon a vote of a majority of the Independent Directors or by the Advisor, in each case by providing no less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other party. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the functions performed hereunder by the Advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will reimburse the Advisor for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, for any expenses otherwise properly incurred but not yet reimbursed and, in accordance with Section 8(f)(ii), for any Elected Deferred Amounts that have not expired or been repaid) incurred by the Advisor for time spent by the Advisor in connection with the termination and for providing the transition services required. In no event shall the Advisor be required to provide transition services in excess of thirty (30) days after the date of termination of this Agreement.

(c)Termination Pursuant to a Change of Control. This Agreement may be terminated by the Advisor upon a Change of Control.

14. Assignments. The Advisor may not assign this Agreement except to a successor organization that acquires substantially all of its property and carries on the affairs of the Advisor; provided, however that following the assignment, the persons who controlled the operations of the Advisor immediately prior thereto (the “Control Persons”), control the operations of the successor organization, including the performance of duties under this Agreement; provided, further, that if at any time subsequent to the assignment the Control Persons cease to control the operations of the successor organization, the Company may thereupon terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Advisor. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company, by operation of law or otherwise, without the consent of the Advisor. Any permitted assignment of this Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the assignor is bound hereunder.

15. Obligations Upon Termination; Survival of Certain Provisions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder, provided Sections 13(b), 15, 16, 17 and 25 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 13(b), the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor shall not be entitled to earn compensation under this Agreement after the Termination Date. After the Termination Date, the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive from the Company within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor or which the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor has deferred and then elects to be paid at the time of termination (including without limitation, any expenses otherwise properly incurred but not yet reimbursed and any Elected Deferred Amounts that have not expired or been repaid), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11 to the extent applicable. With respect to any Advisory Fee payable under Section 8 of this Agreement for the calendar quarter or year in which the termination occurred, the Advisor shall be paid on a pro rata basis through the date of termination, based on the number of days for which the Advisor served as such under this Agreement.

16. Actions Upon Termination. In connection with the termination of this Agreement, the Advisor shall:

(a)Pay over to the Company all moneys collected and held for the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued or deferred compensation and reimbursement for expenses to which the Advisor is entitled;

8112732.1

(b)Deliver to the Board of Directors a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by the Advisor and a statement of all money held by the Advisor, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board of Directors to the date of termination; and

(c)Deliver to the Board of Directors all property and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor.

17. Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing on the date on which this Agreement is entered into and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s or the Sub-Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, induce, or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or any of their Affiliates to become employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) hire or offer to hire, on behalf of the Company or any other Person, any employee of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or any of their Affiliates. Further, with respect to any person who left the employment of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or any of their Affiliates (x) during the term of this Agreement or (y) within six (6) months immediately after the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s or the Sub-Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly hire or offer to hire on behalf of the Company or any other Person, that person during the six (6) months immediately following his or her cessation of employment. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 17 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor and constitute a material inducement of the Advisor to enter into this Agreement and the Sub-Advisor to enter into the Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. If the Company breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, this Section 17, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor shall each have the right, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, as the case may be, to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post a bond), it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury.

18. Amendments. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed, modified or terminated, or the obligations hereunder discharged, in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assigns; provider, however, that no modification that impacts the right or obligations of the Sub-Advisor may be made without the Sub-Advisor’s consent and signature.

19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall bind, any permitted successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

20. Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

21. Liability and Indemnification.

(a)The Company shall indemnify the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (individually an “Indemnitee,” collectively the “Indemnitees”) to the same extent as the Company may indemnify its officers, directors and employees under its Charter and Bylaws so long as:

(i)The Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss, liability or expense was in the best interests of the Company;

(ii)The Indemnitee was acting on behalf of, or performing services on the part of, the Company;

8112732.1

(iii)The liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the Indemnitee; and

(iv)Any amounts payable to the Indemnitee are paid only out of the Company’s net assets and not from any personal assets of any Stockholder.

(b)The Company shall not indemnify any Indemnitee seeking indemnification for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from, or out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws (“Securities Claims”) unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

(i)There has been a successful adjudication for the Indemnitee on the merits of each count involving alleged Securities Claims as to such Indemnitee;

(ii)The Securities Claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to such Indemnitee; or

(iii)A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the Securities Claims and finds that indemnification for the costs of settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for Securities Claims.

(c)The Company shall advance amounts to Indemnitees entitled to indemnification hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the Indemnitee for or on behalf of the Company;

(ii)The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves advancement; and

(iii)the Indemnitee receiving the advance provides the Company with written affirmation of his, her or its good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and undertakes to repay any monies advanced, together with interest thereon at the applicable rate, if a court finds that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.

22. Notices. All notices, requests or demands to be given under this Agreement from one party to the other (collectively, “Notices” and individually a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, or by overnight courier service for next Business Day delivery at the other party’s address set forth below, or by telecopy transmission at the other party’s facsimile telephone number set forth below.
