SECTION 5. CERTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS

5.1 All Awards. All Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Changes in Capital Structure. If the number of outstanding Shares is increased by means of a share dividend payable in Shares, a share split or other subdivision or by a reclassification of Shares, then, from and after the record date for such dividend, subdivision or reclassification, the number and class of Shares subject to this Plan shall be increased or adjusted, as applicable, in proportion to such increase in outstanding Shares. If the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by means of a reverse share split or other combination or by a reclassification of Shares, then, from and after the record date for such combination or reclassification, the number and class of Shares subject to this Plan shall be decreased or adjusted, as applicable, in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Shares.

(b) Certain Corporate Transactions. In the event of any change in the capital structure or business of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, subdivision, combination, exchange of Shares or any similar change affecting the Company’s capital structure or business, then the aggregate number and kind of Shares which thereafter may be issued under this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Board may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under this Plan, and any such adjustment determined by the Board in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on the Company and all Participants and employees and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

(c) Grant Date. Each Award Agreement shall specify the date of issuance of the Award (the “Grant Date”).

(d) Vesting. Each Award shall vest, and any restrictions thereunder shall lapse, as the case may be, at such times and in such amounts as may be specified by the Board in the applicable Award Agreement.

(e) Nonassignability of Rights. Awards shall not be transferable during the period or periods set by the Board (the “Restricted Period”) commencing on the Grant Date of such Award, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(f) Termination from the Company, the Business Manager or any Affiliate of the Company or Termination of the Business Management Agreement. The Board shall establish, in respect of each Award when granted, the effect of a Termination or, if applicable, the termination of the Business Management Agreement, on the rights and benefits thereunder and in so doing may, but need not, make distinctions based upon the cause of termination (such as retirement, death, disability or other factors) or which party effected the termination (the employer, the employee or the Business Manager).

5

(g) Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued Shares are issued under this Plan, such Shares shall not be issued for a consideration which is less than as permitted under Applicable Laws, and in no event, shall such consideration be less than the par value per Share multiplied by the number of Shares to be issued.

(h) Other Provisions. Each Award Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions, legends and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined by the Board.

5.2 Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Grant. The Board may grant one or more Awards of Restricted Shares to any Participant. Each Award of Restricted Shares shall specify the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant, the Grant Date and the restrictions imposed on the Shares including the conditions of release or lapse of such restrictions. Upon the issuance of Restricted Shares, the Participant may be required to furnish such additional documentation or other assurances as the Board may require to enforce the restrictions applicable thereto.

(b) Restrictions. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Plan or the Award Agreement regarding Restricted Shares, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, until the restrictions have lapsed and the rights to the Shares have vested. The Board may in its sole discretion provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in part, based on service, performance or such other factors or criteria as the Board may determine.

(c) Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in this Section 5 and as otherwise determined by the Board, the Participant shall have, with respect to Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a holder of Shares including, without limitation, the right to receive any dividends, the right to vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of shares of the Restricted Shares, the right to tender such shares. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine at the time of grant that the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period.

(d) Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination or, if applicable, the termination of the Business Management Agreement, the Participant shall automatically forfeit all Restricted Shares still subject to restriction.

SECTION 6. DIRECTOR SHARES

6.1 Automatic Grant. Without further action of the Board, each Non- Employee Director shall receive an Award of 54.80 Restricted Shares in February 2015 and 219.20 Restricted Shares thereafter on the date of each annual stockholders’ meeting. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(c), each such date of receipt of Restricted Shares will be the Grant Date of such Award.

6.2 Vesting. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1(d), Awards of Restricted Shares issued to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.1 shall vest over a three-year period following the Grant Date in increments of 33-1/3% per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 100% of any then unvested Restricted Shares issued to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.1 shall become fully vested upon the Company’s consummation of a Listing or an Investment Liquidity Event.

6.3 Election. The Company shall pay to each individual who is a Non-Employee Director an annual fee in the amount set from time to time by the Board (the “Retainer”). Each Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to receive his or her Retainer exclusively in cash, exclusively in unrestricted Shares (“Director Shares”) or any portion in cash and Director Shares. Each Non-Employee Director shall be given the opportunity, during the month in which the Non-Employee Director first becomes a Non-Employee Director, and during each December thereafter, to elect among these choices for the balance of the calendar year (in the case of the election made during the month the Non-Employee Director first becomes a Non-Employee Director) and for the ensuing calendar year (in the case of a subsequent election made during any December). If the Non-Employee Director chooses to receive

6

at least some of his or her Retainer in Director Shares, the election shall also indicate the percentage of the Retainer to be paid in Director Shares. If a Non-Employee Director makes no election during his or her first opportunity to make an election, the Non-Employee Director shall be assumed to have elected to receive his or her entire Retainer in cash.

6.4 Issuance. The Company shall make the first issuance of Director Shares to electing Directors on the first business day following the last day of the full calendar quarter following such election. Subsequent issuances of Director Shares shall be made on the first business day of each subsequent calendar quarter and shall be made to all persons who are Non-Employee Directors on that day except any Non-Employee Director whose Retainer is to be paid entirely in cash. The number of Shares issuable to those Non-Employee Directors on the relevant date indicated above shall equal:

(% x R/4)/P, where:

% = the percentage of the Non-Employee Director’s Retainer that the Non-Employee Director elected or is deemed to have elected to receive in the form of Director Shares, expressed as a decimal;

R = the Non-Employee Director’s Retainer for the year during which the issuance occurs; and

P = the Fair Market Value.

SECTION 7. SECURITIES LAWS

Nothing in this Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall require the Company to issue any Shares with respect to any Award if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, that issuance could constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. As a condition to the grant of any Award, the Company may require the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees) to provide written representations concerning the Participant’s (or such other person’s) intentions with regard to the retention or disposition of the Shares covered by the Award and written covenants as to the manner of disposal of such Shares as may be necessary or useful to ensure that the grant or disposition thereof will not violate the Securities Act, any other law or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities association then in effect. The Company shall not be required to register any Shares under the Securities Act or register or qualify any Shares under any state or other securities laws.

SECTION 8. EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP

Nothing in this Plan or any Award shall in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Company, the Business Manager or any Affiliate of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer or director at any time, as applicable, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the service of, the Company, the Business Manager or any Affiliate of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with the Company’s ability to terminate the Business Management Agreement in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN

The Board may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue this Plan, provided that such amendment, suspension or discontinuance meets the requirements of Applicable Laws, including without limitation, any applicable requirements for stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the above, an amendment, suspension or discontinuation shall not be made if it would impair the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted, without the Participant’s consent, except to conform this Plan and Awards granted to the requirements of Applicable Laws. The provisions of this Plan relating to Awards for Non-Employee Directors may not be amended more than once each six months. The Board may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) or as otherwise specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Board shall adversely impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Board may adopt such amendment to the Plan and the applicable Award

7

Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate, without the consent of the Participant, to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 10. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF THE BOARD

No person constituting, or member of the group constituting, the Board shall be liable for any act or omission on such person’s part, including but not limited to the exercise of any power or discretion given to such member under this Plan, except for those acts or omissions resulting from such member’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company shall indemnify each present and future person constituting, or member of the group constituting, the Board against, and each person or member of the group constituting the Board shall be entitled without further act on his or her part to indemnity from the Company for, all expenses (including the amount of judgments and the amount of approved settlements made with a view to the curtailment of costs of litigation) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law and by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, that illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this Plan, but such provision shall be fully severable and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included in this Plan. Such an illegal or invalid provision shall be replaced by a revised provision that most nearly comports to the substance of the illegal or invalid provision. If any of the terms or provisions of this Plan or any Award Agreement conflict with the requirements of Applicable Laws, those conflicting terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they conflict with Applicable Law.

SECTION 12. SECTION 409A OF THE CODE

Awards granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that the Plan or an Award is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Plan and such Award is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in each case, the Plan and Awards shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 13. WITHHOLDING

The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made to a Participant, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld. Upon the vesting of Restricted Shares, or upon making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding to the Company. The Board may permit any such statutory withholding obligation with regard to any Participant to be satisfied by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable or by delivering Shares already owned.

SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW

This Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws).

SECTION 15. EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

This Plan was adopted by the Board on February 17, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), and was subsequently approved by the holders of the Company’s voting shares of common stock on February 17, 2015.
