The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a calculation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable month. The Asset Management Fee shall generally be payable on the last day of the month that immediately follows the month in which such Asset Management Fee was earned, or the first business day following the last day of such month. The Company shall pay the Asset Management Fee in the form of Shares (provided that no more than an aggregate of $2.5 million per quarterly period shall be paid in the form of Shares), at a price per Share equal to the NAV per Share, as may be adjusted for any Special Distribution; provided, however, that, until January 1, 2020, such Shares may not be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program until all requests for repurchase pursuant to the share repurchase program made by stockholders that are not Affiliated with the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Advisor, CLNS, or any Affiliate thereof have been satisfied for the applicable calendar quarter; provided, further, however, that in the event the Advisory Agreement is not renewed or terminated for any reason, the foregoing limitation on Share repurchases by the Company shall not apply. Any Asset Management Fees in excess of an aggregate of $2.5 million during such quarterly period shall be paid by the Company in cash. Payment of the Asset Management Fee may be deferred, in whole or in part, as to any transaction in the sole discretion of the Advisor.
