If the Advisor is terminated without Cause pursuant to Section 17(a), the Advisor or its Affiliates shall be entitled to an Acquisition Fee for any Investments originated or acquired after the Termination Date for which a contract to originate or acquire any such Investment had been entered into at or prior to the Termination Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(b), a majority of the Directors may approve fees and expenses in excess of the limits set forth in this Section 10(b) if they determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

(c) Disposition Fee. For substantial services in connection with the Sale of an Investment, the Company will pay the Advisor or any of its Affiliates a Disposition Fee equal to up to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Contract Sales Price of each Investment sold; provided, however, that the disposition fees paid to the Advisor, its Affiliates and non-Affiliates in respect of such Investment shall not exceed the lesser of six percent (6%) of the Contract Sales Price or the Competitive Real Estate Commission in respect of such Investment. The Board of Directors will determine whether the Advisor or its Affiliates have provided a substantial amount of services to the Company in connection with the Sale of an Investment. A substantial amount of services in connection with the Sale of an Investment includes the preparation by the Advisor or its Affiliates of an investment package for the Investment (including an investment analysis, an asset description and other due diligence information) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with a Sale.

The Advisor may, with respect to any Investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such Joint Ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

(b) If an investment opportunity becomes available that is suitable for both the Company and a public or private entity with which the Advisor or its Affiliates are Affiliated for which both entities have sufficient uninvested funds, and the requirements of the second proviso in Section 14(a) have been satisfied, then the entity that has had uninvested funds for the longest period of time will first be offered the investment opportunity. An investment opportunity will not be considered suitable for an entity if the 2%/25% Guidelines could not be satisfied if the entity were to make the investment. In determining whether or not an investment opportunity is suitable for more than one entity, the Board and the Advisor will examine such factors, among others, as the cash requirements of each entity, the effect of the origination or acquisition both on diversification of each entity’s investments, the policy of each entity relating to leverage, the anticipated cash flow of each entity, the income tax effects of the origination or acquisition to each entity, the size of the investment, the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of the origination or acquisition, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the Board and the Advisor, to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity that committed to make the investment, then the Advisor may determine that the other entity Affiliated with the Advisor or its Affiliates will make the investment. It shall be the duty of the Board of Directorsto ensure that the method used by the Advisor for the allocation of investment opportunities among two or more affiliated programs seeking to originate or acquire similar types of Investments is applied fairly to the Company.

15. THE LIGHTSTONE NAME. The Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the name “Lightstone.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Advisor may have in the name “Lightstone,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Lightstone” during the term of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Advisor and its Affiliates will have the right to approve any use by the Company of the name “Lightstone,” such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of a written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Lightstone” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Lightstone” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company also will make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Lightstone.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having the name “Xxxxxxxxxx” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company. Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the name “Lightstone” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including as to whether the use of the name “Lightstone” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Lightstone.”

16. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date hereof. Thereafter, the term may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties.

17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated upon sixty (60) days’ prior written Notice (a) by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Advisor, without Cause and without penalty, (b) by the Advisor for Good Reason, or (c) by the Advisor upon a Change of Control; provided, that termination of this Agreement with Cause shall be upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written Notice. The provisions of Sections 15 and 19 through 31 (inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

18. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of the Board of Directors. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. 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 Person which is a successor to all the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor Person shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.

19. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.

(a) Amounts Owed. After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor, including all its interest in the Company’s income, losses, distributions and capital by payment of an amount equal to the then-present fair market value of the Advisor’s interest, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

(b) Advisor’s Duties. The Advisor shall promptly upon termination of this Agreement:

(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 all Investments, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and

(iv) cooperate with the Company and the Board and take all reasonable steps requested to provide an orderly transition of the advisory function.

20. INCORPORATION OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein. To the extent that a provision of the Articles of Incorporation conflicts with a provision of this Agreement, the provision of the Articles of Incorporation shall prevail.

21. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and every Affiliate of the Advisor (collectively, the “Indemnitees,” and each, an “Indemnitee”), from all liabilities, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liabilities, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of New York or the Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any loss or liability suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall the Company provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all the following conditions are met:

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

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

(iii) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

(iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Stockholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following conditions is met:

(i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;

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

(iii) a court of competent jurisdiction has approved a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and found 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 of a jurisdiction in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(c) In addition, the advancement of the Company’s funds to an Indemnitee for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company;

(ii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met;

(iii) the legal proceeding is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or, if the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in such Stockholder’s capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and

(iv) the Indemnitee provides the Company with a written undertaking to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

22. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all liabilities, claims, damages or losses, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liabilities, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

23. NOTICES. Unless some other method of giving Notice is required by the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, any notice, report, approval, waiver or other communication (each, a “Notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by hand, by courier or overnight carrier or by registered or certified mail to the addresses set forth below:
