Partnership.  The OP Management Fee may be paid, at the Advisor’s election, in cash or cash equivalent aggregate net asset value amounts of Class I units of the Operating Partnership.  If the Advisor elects to receive any portion of its Management Fee in Class I Common Shares or Class I units of the Operating Partnership, the Advisor may elect to have the Company or the Operating Partnership repurchase such Class I Common Shares or Class I units of the Operating Partnership from the Advisor at a later date at a repurchase price per Class I Common Share or Class I unit, as applicable, equal to the NAV per Class I Common Share.
