Economic Dependency—We are dependent on PECO for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, asset management, operating and leasing of our properties, and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that PECO is unable to provide such services, we would be required to find alternative service providers, which could result in higher costs and expenses.
Advisor—Our current advisory agreement became effective September 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to specified fees for certain services, including managing our day-to-day activities and implementing our investment strategy. The Advisor manages our day-to-day affairs and our portfolio of real estate investments subject to the board of directors’ supervision.
