(e)                              The Advisor will reimburse HRC promptly after the Closing for up to $300,000.00 of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, travel, lodging, meals and legal fees) incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder (“Reimbursable Expenses”).  Reimbursable Expenses shall not include any expenses for the chartering of planes, without the prior written consent of the Advisor, or any expenses incurred following the Closing of the Offering.
