Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its reasonable judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT unless the Board has determined that the Company will not seek or maintain REIT qualification, (b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or the Shares, or otherwise not be permitted by the Charter or the Bylaws, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor's judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event, the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees and members, and partners, directors, officers, members and stockholders of the Advisor's Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company, the Directors or the Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees, or members, and partners, directors, officers, members or stockholders of the Advisor's Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken in the performance of their duties under this Agreement except as provided in Section 20 of this Agreement.
8. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parents of an Affiliate of the Advisor, may serve as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer of the Company other than reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Directors.
9. ASSET MANAGEMENT FEE.
(a) The Advisor shall receive the Asset Management Fee as its sole compensation for services rendered pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement in connection with the management of the Company's Assets. The Asset Management Fee shall be calculated and paid monthly and consists of a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 1.1% of (i) the cost of each Asset then held by the Company, without deduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves, or (ii) the Company's proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture or other co-ownership arrangement excluding (only for clause (ii)) debt financing on the investment. For any month in which an Asset is disposed of, the Company shall prorate the portion of the Asset Management Fee related to that specific Asset by using a numerator equal to the number of days owned during the month of disposal, divided by a denominator equal to the total number of days in such month and add the resulting amount to the fee due for such month. Following the determination of the Company's net asset value, the Asset Management Fee will be calculated based on the lower of (i) the aggregate of the value of the Company's Assets and (ii) the historical cost of the Company's Assets, both without deduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable in arrears for each month on the first of each succeeding month; provided, however, that the Asset Management Fee shall not exceed $2,000,000 per annum (the "Asset Management Fee Cap") until the earlier of such time, if ever, that (i) the Company holds Assets with an Appraised Value equal to or in excess of $500,000,000 or (ii) the Company reports AFFO equal to or greater than $.3125 per share of Common Stock (an amount intended to reflect a 5% or greater annualized return on $25.00 per share of Common Stock) (the "Per Share Amount") for two consecutive quarters, on a fully diluted basis. If the Company should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the Common Stock, make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then the Per Share Amount shall be ratably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any such change, and thereafter all references to the Per Share Amount shall be deemed to be the Per Share Amount as so adjusted. All amounts of the Asset Management Fee in excess of the Asset Management Fee Cap (the "Subordinated Compensation") shall be subordinated, and such Subordinated Compensation shall bear interest at an interest rate of 3.5% per annum, which interest shall be cumulative but not compounding, and, if the conditions of the second preceding sentence are met, be paid (together with any interest thereon) in accordance with Section 9(b) of this Agreement.
(b) The Subordinated Compensation, together with any interest thereon, shall be due and payable by the Company no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of the date that (i) the Company holds Assets with an Appraised Value equal to or in excess of $500,000,000 or (ii) the Company reports AFFO per share of Common Stock equal to or greater than the Per Share Amount for two consecutive quarters, on a fully diluted basis.


10.
EXPENSES.
(a)  In addition to the Asset Management Fee paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:
(i)
Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of investments;
(ii)

(v)

(ix)

(xi)
expenses of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;
(xii)
administrative service expenses (including (A) personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the Advisor receives property management fees or real estate sales commissions, and (B) the Company's allocable share of other overhead of the Advisor such as rent and utilities);
(xiii)
audit, accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the Board or any committee of the Board;
(xiv)
out-of-pocket costs for the Company to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; and
(xv)
all other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Advisor in performing its duties hereunder.
(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall also reimburse the Advisor for expenses, to the extent the Advisor is entitled to reimbursement, that are incurred on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership prior to the execution of this Agreement. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the calculation of the Asset Management Fee during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter.
11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating Partnership other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Charter, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


12. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Advisor on the other, are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.
13. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (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 any director, officer, member, partner, employee or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. 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.
The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor or its Affiliates 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 responsibility of the Board (including the Independent Directors) to use its best efforts to ensure that the method by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities is reasonable and applied fairly to the Company.
14. TERM OF AGREEMENT. Until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 15 hereunder, this Agreement shall be in effect from the Effective Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Initial Term") and shall be automatically renewed for a one (1) year term on each anniversary date thereafter for a maximum of three (3) one (1) year renewal terms (each, a "Renewal Term").
15. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES.
(a) Non-Renewal by the Company. The Company may elect not to renew this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by delivering to the Advisor a written notice of non-renewal no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, as applicable.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Termination Date for any termination pursuant to this Section 15(a) shall be the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.  Any decision by the Company to terminate for non-renewal pursuant to this Section 15(a) must be approved by at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors.
(b) Termination by the Company for Unsatisfactory Performance.  The Company may elect to terminate this Agreement at any time after the third anniversary of the Effective Date (including within any Renewal Term) for unsatisfactory performance of the Advisor, as determined in the sole discretion of two-thirds of the Independent Directors, by delivering to the Advisor a written termination notice no less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Termination Date.
(c) Termination by the Company for Company Termination Cause.  The Company may elect to terminate this Agreement, by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors, at any time upon the occurrence of any event constituting a Company Termination Cause.  Any such termination shall be effective immediately upon written notice from the Company to the Advisor specifying the Company Termination Cause event and confirming the Company's receipt of the requisite vote to terminate for a Company Termination Cause from the Independent Directors.
(d) Non-Renewal by the Advisor. The Advisor may elect not to renew this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by delivering to the Company a written notice of non-renewal no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, as applicable.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Termination Date for any termination pursuant to this Section 15(d) shall be the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.
(e) Termination by the Advisor for Advisor Termination Cause.  The Advisor may elect to terminate this Agreement at any time for an Advisor Termination Cause by delivering to the Company a written termination notice specifying the Advisor Termination Cause triggering event and the Termination Date, which may not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such termination notice.


16. INTERNALIZATION
(a) (i) No later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term and (ii) within thirty (30) days after any Internalization Triggering Event, the Advisor shall provide the Company with an offer for an Internalization Transaction on such terms and conditions to be included in a written offer provided by the Advisor.  Upon receipt of the Advisor's initial Internalization Transaction offer, a special committee consisting solely of all Independent Directors willing to serve thereon and who are disinterested with respect to such Internalization Transaction may accept the Advisor's proposal or submit a counter offer to the Advisor.  If the Company and the Advisor agree upon an Internalization Price and other terms for an Internalization Transaction pursuant to this Section 16(a), the Parties shall seek to consummate the Internalization Transaction on such terms and in compliance with all applicable laws.  In connection therewith, if the Company elects to obtain a fairness opinion from an investment banking firm to the effect that the consideration to be paid by the Company (or the Operating Partnership) for the assets and liabilities and/or equity of the Advisor is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of the Common Stock who are not affiliated with the Advisor or its Affiliates, the Advisor shall cooperate in good faith to obtain such a fairness opinion.
(b) In the event an Internalization Transaction is consummated, at the time of consummation of such Internalization Transaction, all assets and liabilities of the Advisor (or, in the alternative, all of the ownership interests in the Advisor) shall be conveyed to and acquired by the Company in exchange for the Internalization Price, the Company shall succeed to all customer and other relationships then possessed by the Advisor, the Advisor shall undertake all efforts to facilitate the transfer of the Advisor's employees and other service providers to the Company, and the Advisor shall discontinue all business activities.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if an Internalization Transaction has not been consummated in the manner set forth in this Section 16 prior to the end of the last Renewal Term of this Agreement, then on the last day of the last Renewal Term, the Advisor and the Company shall consummate an Internalization Transaction effective as of the last day of the last Renewal Term in exchange for the Internalization Price.  The Parties expressly agree that an Internalization Transaction that is effected at the end of the last Renewal Term of this Agreement shall be in lieu of any termination of this Agreement and the payment of any Termination Fee, it being the express intention of the parties that no Termination Fee shall be payable in the event of expiration of this Agreement at the end of its final Renewal Term and, instead, the Company shall acquire the business of the Advisor at that time for the Internalization Price determined in accordance with Section 16 of this Agreement.
(d) The Parties mutually agree to execute such additional agreements, documents and instruments, and take such other actions, as may be reasonably required to effect the Internalization Transaction and convey the Advisor's assets and liabilities (or the equity interests in the Advisor) to the Company.
(e) The Internalization Price shall consist of a cash component, not to exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the Internalization Price.  The remaining balance of the Internalization Price shall be payable solely in the form of either Common Stock or units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("LP Units"), in each case, equal to the agreed stock component of the Internalization Price, divided by the volume-weighted average of the closing market price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the fifth (5th) day prior to the effective date of the Internalization Transaction.  Prior to the issuance of any LP Units, the Company shall amend the Operating Partnership Agreement to provide for the appropriate issuance of such LP Units.
17.
EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR INTERNALIZATION; TERMINATION FEES.
(a) No Further Compensation.  After the Termination Date or upon the consummation of any Internalization Transaction, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder, except that the Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership, the following payments, as applicable:
(i)
Subordinated Compensation and Other Unpaid Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses.   Upon either of any termination of this Agreement or the consummation of an Internalization Transaction:
(A) the Subordinated Compensation, together with any interest thereon, and


(B) any other accrued but unpaid fees or expenses owed by the Company to the Advisor pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the limitations set forth herein to the extent applicable), shall be due and payable by the Company to the Advisor, with such payments to be in addition to any Termination Fee or Internalization Price paid or payable hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, in the case of an Internalization Transaction or a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 15(c) (Termination by the Company for Company Termination Cause) or by the Advisor pursuant to Section 15(d) (Non-Renewal by the Advisor), then the payment of the Subordinated Compensation shall remain subject to the satisfaction of all conditions for the Company's payment thereof set forth in Section 9(b) above and shall be payable to the Advisor only if and when all such conditions have been satisfied.
(ii)
Termination Fee.
1.
In recognition of the upfront effort required by the Advisor to structure and acquire the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Advisor's commitment of monies and resources to the Company's business and operations for which the Advisor would be entitled to but, has not received, reimbursement from the Company, and as consideration for the Advisor's release and performance of its other obligations under Section 17(b):
(A) in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15(a) (Non-Renewal by the Company), Section 15(b) (Termination by the Company for Unsatisfactory Performance) and/or Section 15(e) (Termination by the Advisor for Advisor Termination Cause); or
(B) upon the consummation of a Company Change of Control,
the Company shall pay to the Advisor, on the Termination Date or, with respect to a Company Change of Control, the effective date of the Company Change of Control, the Termination Fee and, in each case, subject to the Company's election to pay all or any part of the Termination Fee through an asset distribution or sale pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii)(4).
2.
No Termination Fee shall payable by the Company to the Advisor if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15(c) (Termination by the Company for Company Termination Cause) or Section 15(d) (Non-Renewal by the Advisor).
3.
The Company shall be obligated to pay, if any, only a single Termination Fee to the Advisor, notwithstanding the fact that the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement.
4.
Any Termination Fee shall be payable by the Company or the Operating Partnership in cash.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may elect to pay all or any part of any Termination Fee by conveying to the Advisor one or more assets of the Company or its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Company ("Company Assets").  For purposes of satisfying the Termination Fee, Company Assets conveyed to the Advisor shall be valued at an amount agreed by the Company and the Advisor.  If the Company and the Advisor are unable to agree on the valuation of any Company Assets, then the Company may elect in its sole discretion to sell such Company Assets to a third party to generate funds to pay the Termination Fee.  In the event that the Company elects to pay all or any part of the Termination Fee through a sale of Company Assets pursuant to this Section 17(a)(ii)(4), the Company shall have a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days commencing on the day after the date the Termination Fee is otherwise due and payable pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii)(1) to pay the Termination Fee.
5.
If at any time the Termination Fee is due and payable to the Advisor by the Company, the Company may elect, at its sole option, to (A) instead pay the greater of (i) the Termination Fee and (ii) the Internalization Price, if different, in each case, in cash or, at the Company's election, through the distribution or sale of Company Assets pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii)(4) above, and (B) consummate an Internalization Transaction as of the Termination Date, it being agreed that any such election shall be irrevocable.


(b) Advisor's Obligations Upon Termination.  The Advisor shall promptly upon any termination of this Agreement:
(i)
pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership 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 true and complete statement showing all payments collected by it and a true and complete statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board, together with a true and complete statement showing all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries for which the Advisor has not been reimbursed by, nor waived its rights to seek reimbursement from, the Company as of the expected Termination Date;
(iii)
execute and deliver to the Company a mutual release and waiver by and among the Advisor, the Company, and the Operating Partnership in form and substance agreed to by the parties thereto, it being understood and agreed that, for the avoidance of doubt, such mutual release shall not (A) release any party thereto from any liabilities arising from the actual fraud of such party, (B) release the Company and/or the Operating Partnership from any obligation to pay the Termination Fee or any other amounts actually due to the Advisor in connection with the termination of this Agreement, or (C) release any party thereto from any obligation to indemnify any person under this Agreement, the Bylaws, the Charter or any other contractual arrangement;
(iv)
deliver to the Board all assets, including all investments, books, records, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor, and reasonably cooperate with and assist, in good faith and at the Company's sole expense, the Company with the orderly transition of any investor, parking manager, lessee, customer or other third party contracts and relationships, including vendor relationships and financing arrangements;
(v)
in the event the Company elects to internalize in lieu of any termination pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii)(5) above, comply with the Advisor's obligations in connection with an Internalization Transaction hereunder, including conveying all of the Advisor's assets and liabilities (or, in the alternative, all of the ownership interests in the Advisor) pursuant to Section 16 hereof; and
(vi)
cooperate with and assist, in good faith and at the Company's sole expense, the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.
(c) Survival.  The obligations of the Company and the Advisor under Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
18. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate of the Advisor with the approval of the Board (including the approval of a majority of the Independent 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 Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership is bound by this Agreement.
19. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective directors (the "Indemnitees," and each an "Indemnitee"), from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent such liability, 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 Maryland, the Charter or the Bylaws. In addition, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the officers of the Company and the Advisor and its Affiliates from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent such liability, 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 Maryland, the Charter or the Bylaws.


In addition, the advancement of the Company's or the Operating Partnership's funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership in cases in which such Indemnitee is found not to be entitled to indemnification.
20. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys' fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor's bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, intentional misconduct, 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.
21. EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which a Director or an officer of the Company, and the Advisor, or any Affiliate of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Advisor has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board and also by a majority of the Independent Directors.
22. NON-SOLICITATION. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Termination Date or, if later (and applicable), the one year anniversary of the receipt by Advisor of the Termination Fee, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall, without the Advisor's prior written consent, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Advisor or its Affiliates; or (ii) hire on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left the employment of the Advisor or its Affiliates within the one year period following the termination of that person's employment with the Advisor or its Affiliates. During the period commencing on the Effective Date through and ending on the one year anniversary of the Termination Date or if later (and applicable), the one year anniversary of the receipt by Advisor of the Termination Fee, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership will, whether for their own account or for the account of any other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of this Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with, but subject to the consummation of, any Internalization Transaction, including one initiated pursuant to Section 17(a)(ii)(5) of this Agreement, the Company and the Operating Partnership may (i) solicit and encourage the Advisor's employees to become employees of the Company or the Operating Partnership and (ii) hire such employees subject to and effective upon completion of an Internalization Transaction.
