If at the end of any fiscal quarter, the Company's Operating Expenses exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines over the immediately preceding 12 months, payment of the subordinated Asset Management Fee will be withheld consistent with Section 13. For purposes of calculating the value per share of restricted stock given for payment of the Asset Management Fee, the price per share shall be: (i) the net asset value per share as determined by the most recent appraisal performed by an independent third party at the time such Asset Management Fee was earned or, if an appraisal has not yet been made and accepted by the Company, (ii) $10 per share. Any part of the Asset Management Fee that has been subordinated pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be deemed earned until such time as payable hereunder. (b) Acquisition Fee. The Advisor may receive as compensation in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of any Property or Loan, an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company at the time such Property or Loan is acquired. The total such Acquisition Fees (not including Subordinated Acquisition Fees and any interest thereon) payable to the Advisor may not exceed two-and-one-half percent of the aggregate Total Property Cost of all Properties and Loans acquired or originated by the Company, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 9(d). (c) Subordinated Acquisition Fee. In addition to the Acquisition Fee described in Section 9(b) above, the Advisor may receive as compensation in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties and Loans a Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable by the Company to the Advisor or its Affiliates (the "Subordinated Acquisition Fee"). The total Subordinated Acquisition Fees paid may not exceed two percent of the aggregate Total Property Cost of all Properties and Loans purchased and originated by the Company, measured at such time as the Company shall have completed all Offerings (other than pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan) and invested 12 substantially all of the net proceeds of such Offerings, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company. The unpaid portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor and its Affiliates with respect to any Property or Loan shall bear interest at the rate of five percent per annum from the date of acquisition of such Property or Loan until such portion is paid. Subject to the following sentence, the Subordinated Acquisition Fee with respect to any Investment Asset shall be payable in equal annual installments on January 1 of each of the three calendar years following the date such Asset was purchased; accrued interest on all unpaid Subordinated Acquisition Fees shall also be payable on such dates. The portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fees, and accrued interest thereon, otherwise payable on any January 1 shall be payable only if the Preferred Return through the end of the fiscal year preceding such January 1 has been met. Any portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fees, and accrued interest thereon, not paid due to the Company's failure to meet the Preferred Return through any fiscal year end shall be paid by the Company on the January 1 following the first fiscal year thereafter through which the Preferred Return has been met. (d) Six Percent Limitation. The total amount of Acquisition Fees plus Subordinated Acquisition Fees and any interest thereon, whether payable to the Advisor or a third party, and Acquisition Expenses may not exceed six percent of the sum of the aggregate Contract Purchase Price of all Properties and Loans, measured for the period beginning on the date of the initial acquisition of a Property or Loan by the Company and ending on each December 31 after the date hereof, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company. (e) Loan Refinancing Fee. The Company shall pay to the Advisor for all qualifying loan refinancings of Properties a Loan Refinancing Fee in the amount up to one percent of the principal amount of the refinanced loan. Any Loan Refinancing Fee shall be due and payable upon the funding of the related loan or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A refinancing will qualify for a Loan Refinancing Fee only if the refinanced loan is secured by Property and (i) the maturity date of the refinanced loan (which must have a term of five years or more) is less than one year from the date of the refinancing; or (ii) the terms of the new loan represent, in the judgment of a majority of the Independent Directors, an improvement over the terms of the refinanced loan; or (iii) the new loan is approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors and, in each case, the Loan Refinancing Fee is found, in the judgment of a majority of the Independent Directors, to be in the best interest of the Company. (f) Property Management Fee. No Property Management Fee shall be paid unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. (g) Subordinated Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services in the sale of a Property or Loan, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee equal to the lesser of: (i) 50% of the Competitive Real Estate Commission and (ii) three percent of the Contract Sales Price of such Property (the "Subordinated Disposition Fee"). The Subordinated Disposition Fee will be paid only if Shareholders have received in the aggregate a return of 100% of Initial Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a Preferred Return through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date the Subordination Disposition Fee is paid. The return requirement will be deemed satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Company have satisfied the Preferred Return requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or exceeds Adjusted Investor Capital. To the extent that 13 Subordinated Disposition Fees are not paid by the Company on a current basis due to the foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be due and paid at such time as the limitation has been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total of all real estate commissions in respect of a Property paid to all Persons by the Company and the Subordinated Disposition Fee shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) six percent of the Contract Sales Price of such Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. The Advisor shall present to the Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably request to review the level of services provided by the Advisor in connection with a disposition and the basis for the calculation of the amount of the accrued Subordinated Disposition Fees on an annual basis. The amount of any accrued Subordinated Disposition Fee shall be deemed conclusively established once it has been approved by the Independent Directors, absent a subsequent finding of error. No payment of Subordinated Disposition Fees shall be made prior to review and approval of such information by the Independent Directors. If this Agreement is terminated prior to such time as the Shareholders have received (through liquidity or Distributions) a return of 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus a Preferred Return through the date of termination of this Agreement, an appraisal of the Properties then owned by the Company shall be made and any unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties sold prior to the date of termination will be payable if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by the Company plus Distributions to Shareholders prior to the date of termination of this Agreement (through liquidity or Distributions) is equal to or greater than 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay a Preferred Return through the date of termination of this Agreement. If the Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq and, at the time of such listing, the Advisor or an Affiliate has provided a substantial amount of services in the sale of Property, for purposes of determining whether the subordination conditions for the payment of the Subordinated Disposition Fee have been satisfied, Shareholders will be deemed to have received a Distribution in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Company. (h) Other Permitted Investment Assets Fee. The Advisor may receive as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination of Other Permitted Investments a fee (the "Other Permitted Investment Assets Fee") that shall be negotiated in good faith by the Advisor and the Company and approved by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors) on a case by case basis; provided that such compensation shall be on terms not more favorable, taken as a whole, than what the Advisor receives in respect of investments in Properties and Loans. (i) Subordinated Incentive Fee. A fee shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 15% of Cash from Sales distributable to Shareholders after Shareholders have received a return of 100% of Initial Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a Preferred Return through the date payment is made (the "Subordinated Incentive Fee"). For these purposes the Shareholders will be deemed to have been provided liquidity if the Shares are listed on a national security exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq. The return requirement will be deemed satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Company has satisfied the Preferred Return requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or exceeds Adjusted Investor Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of a promissory note or as set forth in Section 9(l). The promissory note shall be fully amortizing over five years, provide for quarterly payments and bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time in The Wall Street Journal. (j) Loans From Affiliates. The Company shall not borrow funds from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors 14 and a majority of the Directors who are not interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing charges or fees received by the Advisor or its Affiliates do not exceed the amount which would be charged by non-affiliated lending institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable than those prevailing for comparable arm's-length loans for the same purpose. The Company will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment and the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the judgment of the Board, it is not in the Company's best interest to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to believe that the Company will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates. (k) Changes To Fee Structure. In the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the Advisory Fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of the Company's portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conversion or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The new fee structure can be no more favorable to the Advisor than the current fee structure. The Independent Directors shall not approve any new fee structure that is in their judgment more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Advisor than the current fee structure. (l) Payment. Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any fee payable pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the Advisor, in the form of: (i) cash, (ii) common stock of the Company, or (iii) a combination of cash and common stock. The Advisor shall notify the Company in writing annually of the form in which the fee shall be paid. Such notice shall be provided no later than January 15 of each year. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of stock, the value of each share of common stock shall be: (i) the Net Asset Value per Share as determined by the most recent appraisal of the Company's assets performed by an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an appraisal has not yet been performed, $10 per share. If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is paid with stock, the value shall be the price of the stock without commissions. The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on a quarterly basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions. Stock issued by the Company to the Advisor in payment of fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and the Company may from time to time agree. 10. Expenses. 15 (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(d), to the extent applicable, in addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for the following expenses: (i) the Company's Organization and Offering Expenses; provided however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which any Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any Organization and Offering Expense reimbursements received by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent that such reimbursements, when added to the balance of the Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding selling commissions, and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to the Selected Dealers) paid directly by the Company, exceed four percent of the Gross Offering Proceeds; provided further, however, that the Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of all Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding such commissions and such fees and expense reimbursements) in excess of four percent of the Gross Offering Proceeds; (ii) all Acquisition Expenses; (iii) to the extent not otherwise included in Acquisition Expenses, all expenses of whatever nature reasonably incurred and directly connected with the proposed acquisition of any Investment that does not result in the actual acquisition of the Investment, including, without limitation, personnel costs; (iv) expenses other than Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the investment of the funds of the Company, including, without limitation, costs of retaining industry or economic consultants and finder's fees and similar payments, to the extent not paid by the seller of the Investment Asset or another third party, regardless of whether such expenses were incurred in transactions where a fee is not payable to the Advisor; (v) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees; (vi) taxes and assessments on income of the Company, to the extent paid or advanced by the Advisor, or on Property and taxes as an expense of doing business; (vii) costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Directors; (viii) expenses of managing and operating Properties owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Advisor or a non-affiliated Person; (ix) fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Company; (x) fees and expense of auditors and accountants for the Company; (xi) all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors and meetings of the Directors and Shareholders; (xii) expenses associated with listing the Shares and Securities on a securities exchange or Nasdaq if requested by the Board; 16 (xiii) expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Board to the Shareholders; (xiv) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying, or terminating the Company or the Articles of Incorporation; (xv) expenses of maintaining communications with Shareholders, including the cost of preparation, printing and mailing annual reports and other Shareholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities; (xvi) expenses related to the Properties and Loans and other fees relating to making investments including personnel and other costs incurred in Property or Loan transactions where a fee is not payable to the Advisor other than as provided in Section 10(b) hereof; and (xvii) all other expenses the Advisor incurs in connection with providing services to the Company, including reimbursement to the Advisor or its Affiliates for the cost of rent, goods, materials and personnel incurred by them based upon the compensation of the Persons involved and an appropriate share of overhead allocable to those Persons as reasonably determined by the Advisor on a basis approved annually by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such personnel are used in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate fee. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10(a), with respect to Properties and Loans acquired using proceeds of the Part I Offering, the Advisor shall be responsible for payment of (i) all Acquisition Expenses, (ii) all expenses of whatever nature directly connected with the proposed acquisition of any property or loan that does not result in the actual acquisition of Properties or Loans; (iii) finder's fees and similar payments to the extent not paid by the seller of Property or other third party; and (iv) costs of retaining industry or economic consultants. The Company shall pay to the Advisor the Acquisition Expense Allowance, which shall be used by Advisor to pay the expenses described in this Section 10(b). To the extent the expenses paid by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10(b) exceed the Acquisition Expense Allowance, the Company shall have no duty to reimburse the Advisor for the amount of such excess. To the extent the Acquisition Expense Allowance exceeds the expenses paid by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Advisor shall have no duty to repay or account to the Company for any such excess. (c) With respect to Properties and Loans acquired using proceeds of the Part II Offering, no Acquisition Expense Allowance shall be payable to the Advisor and the Company shall be solely responsible for payment of (i) all Acquisition Expenses; (ii) all expenses of whatever nature directly connected with the proposed acquisition of any property or loan that does not result in the actual acquisition of Properties or Loans; (iii) finder's fees and similar payments to the extent not paid by the seller of Property or other third party; and (iv) costs of retaining industry or economic consultants. (d) With respect to Properties and Loans acquired using a mixture of proceeds from the Part I and Part II Offerings, the Acquisition Expense Allowance shall be calculated and payable to the Advisor on a pro rata basis, and the Advisor and the Company shall be responsible for its respective pro rata share of the expenses described in Section 10(b) and 10(c). 17 (e) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the Operating Expenses of the Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter. 11. Other Services. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any shareholder or employee thereof render services for the Company other than as set forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 12. Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to $5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to the Company by the Advisor. 13. Limitation on Expenses. (a) If Operating Expenses of the Company during the 12-month period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company exceed the greater of (i) two percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii) 25% of the Adjusted Net Income of the Company during the same 12-month period, then subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be the sole responsibility of the Advisor and the Company shall not be liable for payment therefor. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor becomes responsible for any such excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement would not cause the Company's Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on any such quarter. In no event shall the Operating Expenses paid by the Company in any 12-month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines. (c) Within 60 days after the end of any twelve-month period referred to in paragraph (a), the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any amounts expended by the Company in such twelve-month period that exceeds the limitations provided in paragraph (a) unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses are justified, as provided in paragraph (b), and provided the Operating Expenses for such later quarter would not thereby exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines. (d) To the extent Organization and Offering Expenses payable by the Company exceed 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the excess will be paid by the Advisor. (e) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. 18 (f) If the Advisor receives a Subordinated Incentive Fee for the sale of Property, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating the Operating Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the sale of such Property. 14. Other Activities of the Advisor. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including without limitation direct investment by the Advisor and its Affiliates in assets that would be suitable for the Company, the rendering of advice to other investors (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director, officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Advisor provides or will provide services to other CPA REIT funds, whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and that the Advisor and its Affiliates may invest for their own account. The Advisor shall be responsible for promptly reporting to the Board the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest that arises that may affect its performance of its duties under this Agreement. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Advisor to adopt a reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use its best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company. The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. If the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment which might be made by the Company and by another investment entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall consider, among other things, the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity, the effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity's portfolio, rental payments during any renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage, the funds of each entity available for investment, the amount of equity required to make the investment and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. 15. Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them. 16. Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement, as amended and restated, shall continue in force until September 30, 2008 and thereafter shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, unless either party shall give notice in writing of non-renewal to the other party not less than 60 days before the end of any such year. 17. Termination by Company. At the sole option the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by written notice of termination 19 from the Company to the Advisor upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the following events occur: (a) If the Advisor shall breach this Agreement; provided that such breach (i) is of a material term or condition of this Agreement and (ii) the Advisor has not cured such breach within 30 days of written notice thereof or, in the case of any breach that cannot be cured within 30 days by reasonable effort, has not taken all necessary action within a reasonable time period to cure such breach; (b) If the Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or trustee of the Advisor, for all or substantially all of its property by reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves any petition filed against the Advisor for reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or (c) If the Advisor shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due. Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is given or any date thereafter. The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in Section 17(b) or (c) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event. 18. Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to the Company upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by the Company without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof) by action of a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority of the Shareholders, in either case upon 60 days' written notice. 19. Assignment Prohibition. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Advisor without the approval of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership, association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on the affairs of the Advisor, provided: (i) that at the time of such assignment, such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Sponsor and only if such entity has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Advisor shall deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from the new Advisor as to its net worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound by this Agreement. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement. 20 20. Payments to and Duties of Advisor Upon Termination. (a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder but shall be entitled to receive from the Company the following: (i) all unpaid reimbursements of Organization and Offering Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor; (ii) all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the Advisor prior to the Termination Date; (iii) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Acquisition Fees and interest thereon, in each case payable to the Advisor relating to the acquisition of any Property prior to the Termination Date; (iv) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees payable to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Property prior to the Termination Date; (v) all earned but unpaid Loan Refinancing Fees payable to the Advisor relating to the financing or refinancing of any Property prior to the Termination Date; and (vi) all earned but unpaid Property Management Fees payable to the Advisor or its Affiliates relating to the management of any property prior to the termination of this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive the sums in Section 20(a) above. (c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, by either party in connection with a Change of Control, or by the Advisor for Good Reason, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of the Termination Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the Termination Fee if: (i) this Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company and the Advisor to establish, following good-faith negotiations pursuant to Section 9(k) hereof, a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life in the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, or (ii) the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor as a result of the listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange or their inclusion for quotation on Nasdaq and this Agreement is terminated after such listing or inclusion. (d) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) and Section 20(c) that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) and Section 20(c) shall be paid in a manner determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of the Company or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments 21 and (iii) bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the "Note"). The Note, if any, may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with accrued interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investment Assets (i) shall be an amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the respective Investment Assets during which the Advisor provided services to the Company, (ii) shall not be due and payable until the Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (iii) shall not bear interest until the Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced. A portion of the amount shall be paid as each Investment Asset owned by the Company on the Termination Date is sold. The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be equal to (i) such amount multiplied by (ii) the percentage calculated by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment Asset sold by the Company divided by the total fair value (at the Termination Date) of all Investment Assets owned by the Company on the Termination Date. (e) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination: (i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; (ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board; (iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including Properties and Loans, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and (iv) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly management transition. 21. Indemnification by the Company. (a) The Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or any of its Affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by the Advisor or the Affiliate, or hold the Advisor or the Affiliate harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) The Advisor or Affiliate has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company; (ii) The Advisor or the Affiliate was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company; and (iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or the Affiliate. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions are met: 22 (i) There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws. (c) The Company shall advance funds to the Advisor or its Affiliates for legal expenses and other 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 on behalf of the Company; (ii) The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a Shareholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) The Advisor or the Affiliate undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor or Affiliate is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

By: /s/ Gordon DuGan ------------------------------------ Name: Gordon DuGan Title: President and Chief Executive Officer SCHEDULE A This Schedule sets forth the terms governing any Shares issued by the Company to the Advisor in payment of advisory fees set forth in the Agreement. 1. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to vesting over a five-year period. The Shares shall vest ratably over a five-year period with 20% of the Shares paid in each payment vesting on each of the first through fifth anniversary of the date hereof. Prior to the vesting of the ownership of the Shares in the Advisor, the Shares may not be transferred by the Advisor. 2. Immediate Vesting. Upon the expiration of the Agreement for any reason other than a termination for Cause under paragraph 17 or upon a "Change of Control" of CPA(R):16 (as defined below), all Shares granted to the Advisor hereunder shall vest immediately and all restrictions shall lapse. For purposes of this Schedule A, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if there has been a change in the ownership of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to the disclosure requirements of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as enacted and in force on the date hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirements; provided, however, that, without limitation, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all "affiliates" and "associates" (as such terms are defined in Rule 14b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of either (A) the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board ("Voting Securities") or (B) the then outstanding common stock of the Company (in either such case other than as a result of acquisition of securities directly from the Company); (ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an Incumbent Director; or (iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company or any subsidiary where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the voting equity of the entity issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent entity, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Schedule A-1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "Change of Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). 3. Exception. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shares shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule in Section 1 regardless of: (a) the expiration of the Advisory Agreement for any reason other than a termination by the Company for Cause or a resignation by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, (b) the merger of the Company and an Affiliate of the Company or (c) any "Change of Control" of the Company in connection with a merger with an Affiliate of the Company.
