Section 1.2    Amendment to Section 9(a) (Acquisition Fees). Section 9(a) of the Advisory Agreement hereby is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a) Acquisition Fees. The Advisor shall receive an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Investments as set forth in Section 3(b) hereof. The total Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates shall equal 2.0% of the Cost of Investment; provided, however, that the total Acquisition Fee payable by the Company to the Advisor or its Affiliates shall equal 0.5% of the Cost of Investment in the event that proceeds from a prior Sale of an Investment are used to fund the acquisition of an Investment. The Acquisition Fee will be inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Investment, plus the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Investment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations on acquisition fees contained in (and defined in) the Articles of Incorporation. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing of each Investment, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee. Generally the Acquisition Fee shall be paid to the Advisor at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company; provided, however, that such Acquisition Fee shall be paid to an Affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable laws or regulations prohibit such payment to be made to a Person that is not a FINRA member broker-dealer. In addition, payment of the Acquisition Fee may be deferred, in whole or in part, as to any transaction in the sole discretion of the Advisor. Any such deferred Acquisition Fees shall be paid to the Advisor without interest at such subsequent date as the Advisor shall request.

Section 1.3    Amendment to Section 9(c) (Disposition Fee). Section 9(c) of the Advisory Agreement hereby is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(c) Disposition Fee. In connection with a Sale of an Investment and in the event of the sale of the entire Company (a “Final Liquidity Event”), in either case when the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors, the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its Affiliate a Disposition Fee equal to (x) with respect to a Sale of an Investment, 1.5% of the Contract Sales Price of the Investment sold; and (y) with respect to a Final Liquidity Event, (i) 0.5% of the total consideration paid in a Final Liquidity Event if the price per Share paid to Stockholders is less than or equal to $9.00; (ii) 0.75% of the total consideration paid in a Final Liquidity Event if the price per Share paid to Stockholders is between $9.01 and $10.24; (iii) 1.00% of the total consideration paid in a Final Liquidity Event if the price per Share paid to Stockholders is between $10.25 and $11.24; (iv) 1.25% of the total consideration paid in a Final Liquidity Event if the price per Share paid to Stockholders is between $11.25 and $12.00; and (v) 1.50% of the total consideration paid in a Final Liquidity Event if the price per Share paid to Stockholders is greater than or equal to $12.01, provided, however, that the price per Share paid to Stockholders as listed in each of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 9(c) shall be adjusted for any special distributions, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or any similar transaction with respect to the Company’s Shares.

Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 9(c) may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for the Sale of each

Real Estate Asset shall not exceed 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price. Substantial assistance in connection with a Sale may include the preparation of an investment package (for example, a package including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, projections, tenant information regarding credit and lease terms, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits), coordination of the procurement and review of appraisals and required third-party reports, or other such substantial services performed in connection with a Sale. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee shall be paid to the Advisor at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company; provided, however, that such Disposition Fee shall be paid to an Affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable laws or regulations prohibit such payment to be made to a Person that is not a FINRA member broker-dealer. In addition, payment of the Disposition Fee may be deferred, in whole or in part, as to any transaction in the sole discretion of the Advisor. Any such deferred Disposition Fees shall be paid to the Advisor without interest at such subsequent date as the Advisor shall request.

Section 1.4    Addition of Section 9(g) (Loan Coordination Fee). The following paragraph (g) hereby is added to the end of Section 9 of the Advisory Agreement immediately after Section 9(f) (Changes to Fee Structure):

(g) Loan Coordination Fee. As compensation for services rendered in connection with any financing or refinancing of any debt (in each case, other than at the time of the acquisition of an Investment), the Company will pay the Advisor or one of its Affiliates a Loan Coordination Fee equal to 0.5% of the initial amount of new debt financed or the amount of any debt refinanced or the Company’s proportionate share of the initial amount of new debt financed or the amount of any debt refinanced in the case of Investments made through a Joint Venture.

Section 1.5    Renewal of Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to Section 28 of the Advisory Agreement, the Parties hereby amend Section 17 (Term of Agreement) to renew the term of the Advisory Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2018, for an additional one-year term ending on November 15, 2019.
